Are you done stocking up?

[ShowerHead]

I have a Gyrfalcon All-44 along with a few others.
The All-44 is my in-use charger. Why?
First it loads 21700 batteries without forcing them in. All others I have 21700s don't really fit.
It charges every bay at a different rate if you want, or all at the same rate and will do 2A on all bays at once. Some have higher charging only on 1 or 2 bays.
It is accurate. I have put my DMM on batteries and found some chargers that said 4.20 while the actual voltage was 4.14-4.17. While small difference, there were two that over charged the batteries to 4.25V
It was reasonably inexpensive.

I may pick up another, but it'll wait awhile. Chargers aren't going to be scarce.

Not sure if this would be a good deal for anybody...this site was mentioned in the Countdown thread a few months ago (I’ve been lurking and liking old posts, finally reading the whole thing, in case I’ve liked one of your old posts, that’s why)

Kanger Dripbox Starter Kit. $10.79

I’d get two if I thought they would be serviceable in a beater sort of way, or maybe a PIF situation.

I think one of the ones I ordered was from that same sale. I received the KIT with a tank for $21+shipping. Wasn’t expecting the tank. I was pleased.

That was a better price than I had gotten mine for.

It depends on their accountant. Some will tell their clients to charge sales tax for every state (at the buyer's state sales tax rate) and submit it quarterly to that state, while other accountants will tell their clients to let the customer worry about it.

A good accountant would provide a list of states that have economic nexus laws on their books, along with the thresholds each of those laws specifies, and then look at whether the vendor's sales in each of those states meets the individual thresholds, either in therms of dollars or number of orders shipped to that state. My (non vape related) business is currently collecting sales taxes for 8 or 9 states in addition to our home state of PA. The rest either either don't have sales/use taxes at all (roughly five states), or don't have economic nexus laws yet, or have thresholds that we don't meet. An accountant who tells a vendor to collect everywhere or nowhere is giving really bad advice.

ok I own a couple of those so let me give my 2 cents. THe squonker isnt bad though it takes a proprietary and HARD bottle. The atty is complete crap and spits hot liquid in your face. I use mine with a separately purchased atty.

A beater is exactly what I use mine for.

I remember my shop got a couple of them in...and a few customers came in with some bought elsewhere. We carried those weird prebuilt RDA coils just to accommodate them. I never was a fan of that coil setup.

Also - that was at the very brink of squonks going “mainstream,” no? Kanger was throwing everything at the wall around that time. It was cool of them, I guess, to try to let a wider audience into the squonk world, but I do remember those bottles and yeah, no bueno.

The one good thing about that atty is those weird coils are totally rebuildable as easily as any RDA. Unfortunately the air holes are wrong on the atty and popping juice flys in your face.

My other complaint though I fully admit it is a ME problem. The battery hatch is REALLY hard to unscrew with my arthritis. If the hubby is home I have to get him to unscrew it. If he isnt I USB charge the thing.

Now it is a fairly durable little mod for what it is. Mine is still going strong and I got it when they came out.

Just checked 17track and my Picos went from no activity for over two weeks to arrived in Anaheim, CA today! Pretty excited I was a little nervous about this order with all the weird emails I was getting from them.

We have 5 mos left to keep stocking. I have been checking some sales and it seems prices are not as good as a month ago on mods. Some good coil sales tho.

I'm slowly stocking up. My element vapor order shipped out today. I placed that order late last night. 2 berserkers coming my way (I hope). My black Friday nicotine order was suppose to be delivered today but FEDEX was lazy. They said they couldn't deliver it because of bad weather LOL its just cold in WI!

 

[LoveVanilla]

Looking for a deal on quality, dual-battery DNA/DNA75 or Yihi mod for TC vaping. Looking for reliable, durable, and hopefully under $75. Picked up a Pioneer4You IPV Eclipse for a song (thanks to this thread) but got the last and need another. Found a HCigar VT75C and IPV Trantor on sale (both had awful reviews). Thanks

Found OriginVape has the Pioneer4You IPV Eclipse for $39. More than paid on previous close-out but still a bargain for a high-quality mod. These pair perfectly with the SilverPlay RTA for an ideal vape. Enjoy!

I really don't believe we have 5 months left. Stores are starting to fold now. When the general vaping public really gets it through their heads this is happening the stock in existing stores is going to vanish fast. Of course congress could pass and trump could sign legislation to ban the USPS from shipping anything vape related. THAT would radically up the costs of stocking up and take some people out of the running at all.

That's why I prefer to use Paypal. I never will give my credit card details to a Chinese retailer or other overseas retailer let alone send an image of my card to them. There are many horror stories about people who use credit cards on foreign sites.

I know that a lot of vapers hate paypal, but they really are a much safer option and they are not to blame for not allowing US vendors to use Paypal for vape transactions. It is the banks who dictate what can and cannot be bought through 3rd party systems. PP is merely a middleman, so they have to comply. Paypal would allow the sale of just about anything if they could, that is how they make money. There is no 3rd party payment processor that allows the sale of "tobacco products", it's not just paypal. And it's like that for a reason.

I'm bringing this up because I know there are many on the FT forum and elsewhere that say they do not and will not ever use paypal to pay, even if they don't need a pp account. Well, there's nothing that can be done about it. Use pp or lose out.

I've been buying vape gear exclusively with PP for years. Never use anything else and never had a problem. They take their cut on the exchange rate but I factor that in and I'm fine with it. I don't live in the US so my situation is different from most of you. It's Chinese, Australian or NZ retailers for me and they all take PP.

Also when the US stores run out or are forced to close, the Chinese prices will go North. No doubt.

I haven’t bought in a little over a year but in NE Texas they were 7.50-ish a pack then. My brand.

Average $US 28-35/ pack in Australia with a guaranteed tax hike of 12.5%/ year every year from 2020 onwards. That's on top of normal inflation

 

[440BB]

Going through my stockpile, I've decided to expand one part of my original 2016 hoard - Kanger Subtank stuff. In 2016 they were my only subohm tank option and I doubted I'd ever go near them. Roll forward to 2019 and I've had fun with mesh and ceramic TFV8 style devices, so the Subtank stuff is a bridge between my normal MTL and the big cloud toppers. Adding some topfill options and heads is pretty inexpensive and supplies are dwindling, so the time has come!

I have one I tried for about 5 minutes i would sell cheap, have a bunch of the coils you can rebuild with it. Too low ohms for me and I don't want to mess with it.

Can't you just put in a higher ohm coil? And I need another squonker like I need a hole in my head, but supposing @Astron is not interested, how much is cheap? lol

If you do/will ever use 0.5ohm coils in your Subtanks...and need some for your stash, you might want to PM me. The Atom G Clapton OVC SUBXERO Coils for Kanger Subtanks, that are gold plated and usually sell for $14.99-$16.99/box of 4...are available for more than 80% off that lowest price.
