    Geez girl, wake up and smell the vape gear. :lol:

    I'm just getting on now! I was up until 2 AM with the "gaming crew." My online friends.

    Killed two birds with one stone last night. Got Dad two Picos and four Top tanks for Christmas. So I got him a Christmas present and got him more stocked up in one move.

    We remembered that each Top tank comes with an RBA so that is a huge bonus as he'll have SOMETHING to build on once he's out of coils (Besides the RTAs I have in the cabinet behind him). I know he won't save coils for old age.

    Might finally be getting him to come around on getting a small freezer for his (my) nic. There's like 4.5L left of my 2016 stash at his house. He's mixing for two and his friend is mixing a lot more than he is. Told him he should sell his friend a couple liters of (my) nic and buy two fresh ones and stick them all in a freezer ASAP. He's pretty stubborn about the fact that he'll vape anything even if it smells like crap though so we'll see.

    … speaking of nicotine, Hiliq is offering free shipping for 24 hrs (they ship DHL or FedEx). I never tried Chinese nicotine, but Hiliq's is probably the best. Pricing isn't what you'd expect for Chinese stuff. I will probably order a small sample to test it. Who knows, maybe this will be the only source in the future.
    They had a pretty good reputation during the 2016 stocking frenzy. I know some people who got nic from them at strengths that cannot be mentioned here (except in passing) and they've been quite satisfied with it.

    I am willing to eat crow on my statement about 510 filling squonkers. The squeezer came with a 510 refill bottle so I tried it. It isn't near the pain in the .... it sounded like from all the instructions posted in this thread. So yeah I have a few more of those 510 refill bottles on the way.

    Any squonker that requires a "refill bottle" is (IMO) a poorly designed sqounker. A well designed squonker makes it east to get to the bottle. January 2014:

    I don't want to remove a bottle to fill so I like the fill tools a lot. To each their own.

    What condition was it in when it arrived and how long did it take to get here?

    Yeah. They are handy. I got them in different colors so I can mix and store juice in them as well as using them to refill the squonkers.
    Donno the bottle you got, but the VV ones are awesome though a little more expensive than the generics. Thick and durable. The cap is tight. And they make a tight seal at the 510 connection. Most importantly the tip is rubber so it won't create a short.

    I am so sick of the news that my head is spinning. I am just going to stick my head in the sand and lalalala.

    Turn it off! I haven't watched the news since like 2010 and really you don't miss much. People talk and post about all the important news so much that's it's impossible to avoid. Sometimes a headline is all I need.

    Government stuff gets me too riled up to watch. So much stupidity that has control over my life.

    Well I hope the luxotic squonker is nice. I just discovered I accidentally ordered 2 instead of just 1 LOL. Never put in orders with a massive headache. Odd things happen.
    I'm just hoping that they're not sold out by the time I get my vape budget up. My husband's being a real tight .... and doesn't seem to comprehend why my spending is going up right now like I have forever to make these purchases or something. I wouldn't call him optimistic I would call him somewhat oblivious he never believes anything bad can happen. I on the other hand hate to be disappointed so I always anticipate the absolute worst happening and that way if anything but cataclysmal apocalypse occurs I'm a happy camper lol! Oh well even if it does sell out there's other Mech Mods and safety feature Mech Mods out there for pretty darn cheap and I just really want to try my hand at 1

    If you like Lemon eliquids...you might really like the "The Best Yet Lemon Meringue Pie" recipe, by Nick Evans. I love it, and every single person I've given some to does, too, (except for 1 person who can't taste lemon). That recipe was a "hot one" back around January on the Random DIY thread. Here's the recipe if you want to try it, too, while you're buying flavorings at Bull City. BC is the only US vendor of VT flavorings. They carry all of the flavorings needed for it:

    Lemon Meringue Pie - The Best Yet

    Cookie (FA) - 2%
    Flapper Pie SC (WF) - 3%
    Lemon Meringue Tart (VT) - 6%
    Lemon Sicily (FA) - 0.8%
    Pudding Base (VT) - 0.5%
    Super Sweet (CAP) - 0.3%

    I sub TFA Sweetener in it though, as I like it better than CAP Super Sweet.
    This is spot in lemon meringue pie

    I don't watch news, I am talking about the news on here and CASAA and the reviewers.

    As I sit here working, I keep getting this nervous feeling like I should be shopping for more gear, but god knows I have enough for my wife and I for the rest of our lives plus another 10+ years. I probably will get 2 more 100mg liters of nic Monday morning before any announcement from Trump next week... but I keep feeling like I am missing something.

    I don't think it will last at 10.00 w/shipping.

    I woke up with the same feeling but I think it is more of the thought that we will probably never be able to shop like this again.

    Somewhere between here and there
    The actual cost to ship adult signature domestically through USPS is an additional $6.40.

    Adult Signature Required
    This service requires the signature of an adult—someone 21 years of age or older—at the recipient’s address. You’ll get delivery information, as well as the recipient’s signature and name.

    Notes
    • Add this service to your qualifying online label purchase.
    • Not available for purchase at Post Office locations.
    • Before delivery, the recipient must show an acceptable primary ID with a clear photo.
    See Acceptable IDs & Restrictions

    Adult Signature Required Details

    Cost
    $6.40

    My ejuices.com order for liquid, which now requires adult signature, shipping total cost was $9.99. $20-$40 sounds really excessive.

    Yes but you have to figure that Ups is more expensive to start. One pound starts around 11-13 depending on how much you ship and your discount from ups. Then add the 6.50 for adult signature.

    I hardly read the news, don't watch it on Tv either, I live in my own little non news bubble and I love it :) I do watch for vape regulations, but feel it's all over in May so I concentrate on my stash LOL More fun!
