Do only the oldest REOs need button tops? I use flat tops just fine in my Grand LP, Mini 2.1 LP and P67.
@Spydro would know
My two old Standards have the OLD firing system (the pointed metal bar on the firing switch that you had to file periodically and noalox. They need the button tops to work reliably. I CAN make them work with flat tops but they will suddenly decide not to make the connection as I found out 70 miles from home on a shopping trip to the big city.

If you have the new firing system with the curled gold bar on the firing switch flat tops are no problem.

I did a google maps search of my house a few weeks ago. Lord have mercy, I had to show the wife. We were both shocked. It looked horrible. Had to have been from before we moved in (been here 7 years). The grass was brown, back yard had junk all over, & the shed we built right after we moved in was not there. So I don’t put much stock in google maps pics & also agree that the outside of a building does not speak to the quality of the business inside. Book/cover.

I can find some yucky pics of our house too, we bought it rough and fixed it up. It's adobe and old so needed some TLC :) Now it has a face lift LOL!

Yep...I have. Placed a large order and got some good deals on various iSticks and kits from them. :thumbs:

ETA: Just went back and looked at my order receipt, and remembered that I got a phone call from them the morning after I'd placed my order. They'd discovered they were 1 short on a color of mod I'd ordered, because someone else's order was timestamped several seconds before mine, and they'd gotten it. They called to see if I wanted to sub for another 1 of the colors they had. Most companies, IMO, would've just filled the rest of the order and subtracted the cost of the 1 they didn't have. I appreciated their personal call about my order, to let me choose another color...which I happily did.
I'm glad you had a good experience. That is what I wanted to know, if you got your order :)

Yep, got my order within 4 days of placing it, too. That was this September. I personally wouldn't hesitate at all, to order from them again. :)

Great info thanks @Myrany

I gotta say, getting one of each of these for $19.99ea is very tempting: Myvaporstore | Vape Store Online | Vape Kits, Vape Pods and Ejuice
Ahhh... what the heck... I picked up 1x smok A-Priv Mod - Black Red and then 2x smok T-Storm Mods - Gold Black.

They will match all of my hellbeasts (2x black/red, 2x black/gold drip tip, and also my 2x gold plus the RTA thingy for the hellbeast is also gold). They were out of the Species, otherwise I would have gotten some of those (but I just noticed eightvape has them for $1 less and I can use a $5 off coupon). I skipped the D-Barrel because @SKYYcamel said his only lasted 2 hours before the button started sticking.

I used a credit card that I do not use anymore because of a warning or two that I read. It has text notifications enabled. When my credit card was compromised like a month ago, it was my main one that I use due to the cash back and then I had to go through and change all of my bills and stuff to use the new card number. I won't have to worry about that if this one has an issue.

Well I took a chance since they had something I was looking for :) Will report back how it all went.

Yes since no one answered. I've had great luck with them as a vape supplier over the years but apparently their security system isn't so great. Wish they'd add Paypal so I could do it that way.

*ETA* I just sent them an email saying that my whole thread thinks they're an unsafe vendor. I await their response tomorrow.

I certainly hope you don’t mean this thread, or any other that I’ve commented on.

Plenty of us use that site with no problem, so don’t go lumping ya all in your bandwagon, please.

Well my main stocking up credit card got hacked this morning. I just got off the phone disputing the charge and asking for a replacement credit card. Based on @BigPappa telling me MVS was involved in a hack I was kind of expecting this but... I wasn't expecting it the day after I activated a new credit card. Granted they sent me a card with the same 16 digit numbers but the confirmation code would have been different so I really don't know how they got a purchase through.

Glad this happened now that I'm "done" stocking up and not right in the middle of my buying frenzy.
@Haktuspit I don't recall ever saying anything about MVS, I think you have me confused with someone else. The only time I mentioned MVS was in my post 3 posts above because I had seen a post or two about it. I had an account setup with them, but no order history... not sure how or why I signed up to begin with, but it looks like I have never even made a purchase from them until today.

The only site I have ever singled out was askvape.com which is owned by Online Head Shop | Smoke Cartel - Free Shipping on Bongs, Pipes & More because they took my money and never shipped the product, would not answer emails or their phone... Then a week later their site went offline, so I charged it back. Not sure if that was related to my card being compromised a month ago though, it was just the only site I had an untrustworthy experience with.

EDIT: Maybe go back and edit my name out of that post....

And wouldn't you know, just hours later I get an email about their 10% off code special that just began today.

I sent them an email saying I was not pleased, we'll see what happens.

Hi! Anyone buy or know the reputation of Aspire vape company out of Hollywood Ca? They have a item I want but never heard of them. Thanks in advance for any thoughts? I can't order today cause I'm working all day. :)
They claim to be the official US location for Aspire, and they are linked from the China website, so I think they would be legit.

    The Gemm is nice except for the spitting hot liquid in your mouth. I burned my tongue and put it away.

    My Breeze with a 1.0 ohm coil was doing that to me. Got a new 1.2 ohm coil in there as of today and so far so good.

    Fair enough but there's no reason for concern, it's not like they're looking through the thread and going to start shipping naysayers the wrong color. I should have said "some people" which is accurate.

    Sorry man I could have sworn that was you. I'll edit it.

    *ETA* That post is too old for me to edit. Sorry for stating it was you when it wasn't.

    This is what I got from PerfectVape, I have been looking everywhere for one, so took a chance. They have a few left. The only mod I could find that takes so many batts. Geekvape Aegis 100W TC BOX MOD

    Saw they also have just the mod for $33.60 available too . . . Although the colors are all x out - picked a color anyway {Red} and they show 26 in stock . . . Matter of fact - Different Colors show different amount in stock . . . :thumb:

    Geekvape Aegis Solo MOD Only
