That would be awesome! I have a couple of dual coil decks but I would rather build singles. It's just easier that way, lol. And I agee, 23 mm is perfect for a lot of my mods. I'm really happy to see that more companies are going with colors other than black and silver, too. My Super tank is white, which I love, but I am positive I need a rainbow tank. :)
I love my super Tank mini in the rainbow actually they have so many stunning and vivid colors in those tanks! I have a sigelei X tank and an Aspire Evo in white! When your Arthur comes you could get a cool matching tank!

That's very cool. I had to get the 10 pack of EUCs to get a sleeve with it. If they clean up easily, and as they're not an all day thing for me, those 10 heads will last me a really long time.



I fel the same. I have 3 dual coil Engines right now, 2 in my ADV rotation and one in the stash. I passed on the single coil nano for the very reason of wanting it in 23 mm as I don't need another Engine in 25 mm.
I think all of my rebuildables are 22mm. Some of the tanks I bought last year came with a deck but I never bothered with them. I also have a couple of little RDAs but they are TINY, and not my thing. Dripping takes way too much work. :D

Oh I have seem some really pretty tanks these past few months! None of them are ones I use at the moment, though. :( I am getting my daughter a new setup for her birthday next month. She loves the Tiffany blue colors, so I might get her an Evic VTC mini with an Ego One tank in Tiffany. She wants something "pretty," lol.

Nope, still no tracking! :( I will try and contact Heaven Gifts tonight and see if they can give me an estimate. I have a feeling supplies are a little low since Arctic Dolphin did some changes to them before release. As much as I hate to wait, I would much rather have a trouble-free mod when it does finally arrive than to have a hitchy one earlier!
I agree with you there, better to get one that is trouble free! It is so hard to wait, I know I order from Fasttech and Gearbest- haha! My FT order from 1/27 just shipped out yesterday- thank god it is only stockpile coils and some drip tips!
Nice that you are trying to get your son into vaping! Both my grown children have never smoked- they hated it when my husband and I smoked- and never touched it!

Oh your daughter will love that set up in tiffany blue! They better keep their hands off your Arthur! Haha! I am sure you will be over the moon with that!

I gave up on FT, but I do order from Gearbest. The wait can be positively painful, lol! I ordered a tank from them in November and got it in January!

Out of my 3 children, the only one who vapes never smoked (cigarettes). She's in recovery and when she got clean she picked up vaping. My boys both smoke. :( I was actually really surprised when I picked my son up at the airport and found out he was smoking. I guess that's what 5 years in the Marines will do to you. He was in Okinawa for a couple of years and picked it up then. He's the one I really never thought would pick up that habit! At least my boys know there's an alternative when they are ready. I just pray they aren't ready too late, you know?

Yeah luckily they live an hour and a half away, so my Arthur will be safe for the most part, lol! We are going up there weekend after next, though, and I really hope I have it by then so I can show it off! I just saw that Heaven Gifts is still selling them for $79! Evan posted a thread about it here on ECF. :)

Sure would be nice for that Arthur to show up so you could take with you on your visit!
Haha- I said I would never order from GB or FT or HG- BUT- things that aren't for sale here yet and prices sometimes force me to purchase from them! Sometimes you just can't order some of these things from US vendors! What I really hate more than anything from any vendor is paying for shipping! I also try to get things during a great sale!

Arthur is on its way! Apparently they are going really fast and they had a ton of orders during the sale. I was worried that there would not be enough of them for all of the orders, but now I can relax. Well, kinda. I won't really relax until it gets here! :D

I order from China pretty regularly, but I also order from VapeNW when I want something right away. They are located in the same state as me, so I have to pay shipping and state tax, but I never have to wait longer than 2 days to get my order. I love having options, and I just pray that is never taken away from us.

Yippee- hope you get it soon!!!! I order from many US vendors- whoever has the best sale,prices and free or cheap shipping! I have had excellent luck with all of the vendors I have used! I too get most of my orders within a few days to a week. Everything gets here in great condition and I have been very happy with the many online vendors- so much so that I haven't stepped inside a vape shop in over a year!
Yes I still see there is a sale on the Arthur - very nice price!

I know what you mean! The only time I go into our local shop anymore is to show off new gear and let them know about good potential vendors. They are a little behind the times, but I love the crew there and if it wasn't for them I would probably not have started vaping. They know I am into the latest and greatest so they don't hold it against me that I don't shop there anymore. :)

At 3 mg, and assuming you're not vaping 30 ml a day, a liter of nic will last you damn near forever. Throw 2 liters in your freezer and you're set no matter what the powers that be try to enact. That, some flavorings, and a little PG and VG, you're good to go. You just need recipes you like. Not to say you shouldn't enjoy your premades on the market, but getting into a survival mindset wont hurt. And believe me, as good as those premade prices seem, they can't compete with a $0.25 30 ml bottle you made yourself.

No- I use about 10ml of liquid a day! I have been looking at the DIY threads and yes there are some flavors that I would like to try! I guess the frenzy at first for me has been the mods and tanks, and I have gotten some great sales on juices from the SauceLA and Mad Cow, pretty much a small cabinet full - won some stuff in contests which adds to the stock pile!
It is just right now it seems expensive to get into DIY- all the flavorings- but I guess I could just stick with a few of my faves- Now that I am pretty much done with the hardware hoard, I can spend some time and money on the DIY eliquid hoard!
Hard to believe that when I started vaping a 10ml bottle lasted about two weeks- but thanks to my newer sub Ω tanks,coils and higher watts, I can go through at least 10ml a day!

Yes it is nice to be able to go to the shop- The only two shops close to where I live really didn't have to much gear back in the day- I bought the Innokin ITaste VV/VW which was the bomb back in the day and the eleaf 20w cutting edge, I used the Evod 2 glass tanks- I still have a small box of them and coils!
Then I just started to buy their house juices- not really too many premades then!
Then I started joining forums and learning about the sub tanks, RTA tanks,coils and better mods and online shopping! Then August 8th my frenzy went into overdrive! It is so great that everything comes right to my door(for now)!

Given all the uncertainties surrounding regulations, IMO it's worth spending the money now for at least a liter of nic to toss in the freezer. no need to use it for now, and no need to stock up on a bunch of flavorings without a clear idea of recipes. Flavorings (other than tobacco based) will be around regardless of the regulation, like batteries or wire (hopefully). But the nic in the freezer is your insurance policy against that being cut off by overzealous bureaucrats.

That's how I started in DIY. I have vaped peanut butter since almost day 1 (as soon as I found THE peanut butter flavor!) and I got my juice form Mt. Baker Vapor. As soon as they started selling DIY I bought a bottle of 12 mg nic base and some bottles of their peanut butter flavoring and that was all I did for a little while. Then I found a peanut butter banana concoction from Vape Wild that I fell in love with and they discontinued it. !! Sooo, I went on the hunt for THE banana flavoring. Took me 3 tries but I finally found the one that I could re-create that juice with, thankfully. Over time I hit some great sales on flavorings, acquired that liter (or is it 2??) of 100 mg nic base, also from a great sale, and I won some stuff in contests. It's a blast figuring out new recipes and experimenting, and it makes me feel safer knowing I can do it if buying premade ever becomes an issue. There are also a ton of threads and forums for DIY. I say go for it!! :)

I guess for the most part I am not as nicotine dependent and am vaping 3nic, but have vaped with 0 just fine, as long as there is strong flavor! Just bought a whole bunch of liquid from The SauceLA- 30ml for .99cents! I really like many of their flavors and they have had excellent sales, they make my favorite coffee vapes! So for me $26.00 for 26 bottles 780 ml and free shipping, easy choice! They also had a sale after XMas to try all 12 flavors in 120ml each (1440ml) for around $76.00 and free shipping! Plus a couple of contest winnings and a free 120ml bottle of Glazed with a recent order and I have quite a bit of liquid!
My main worry was coils! I only buy tanks that use Atlantis type coils and Kanger SSOCC coils! Recently I have purchased the Coil Master kit, wire, wicking and some Demon Coil kits and OBS Tanks and now have the confidence to make my own!
My whole problem is buying frenzy- so many great deals and sales combined with the FDA, states and taxes, shops shutting down put me into overdrive! I have more than enough "stuff" even my backups have backups, plus have won some really nice tanks and mods, I am really set for many years of vaping!
I have to draw the line somewhere and dial it back a little!( I hope)

I think my buying frenzy dialed down when I had several recipes I really liked. Even though I had in the freezer not having confidence I could turn it into something palatable made me very concerned. I'll still pick up interesting stuff that comes out, especially if I can find a sale, but I no longer feel the need of filling the shopping cart way up "just in case".

DIY, and of course coil building, have eliminated a good deal of the worry about the future of vaping, at least as it affects me.

Yea- some of the shinyitis took me over- and throw in fantastic sales and I can't help myself- too many enablers on the forums- showing off their latest gear and the great prices they paid! I just do not want to reach hoarder status! But sometimes it is hard for me to resist- I usually try to get what I love, and will use- backups have backups!
Hubby thinks I'm nuts- I should show him what real nuts looks like- LOL! He is really glad that I quit cigarettes and have been saving away for my vaping future!
I guess I have a harder time understanding the people that only have ONE device that broke or use up or burn out their one and only coil or ran out of juice- what is their backup plan? Cigarettes! I read that all the time!

Holy juicesale! That's an incredible price for juice!! I am going to have to check them out! I hear you about the sales frenzy. Heaven Gifts just announced a 30% off sale that starts today and I already have 7 things in my cart, lol!! I seriously need to check myself. :D
