I was certainly relieved that the NRG tanks can accommodate normal 510 drip tips. Otherwise, they'd just be unused junk for me. They seem pretty good, although I haven't yet checked out the price on their atomizers.
Hang on to your original drip tips, maybe you can barter with them in the future, post May 2020.

Well that's IJoy's USA site so there *should* be no problem ordering there. But as you said, that price hurts for an rba. Any RBAs I've bought don't sell for more than about $7.
I agree there shouldn't be a problem but I personally have not dealt with them so I didn't want anyone to take my link as a ringing endorsement.

The price only hurts primarily due to comparing it to what it was going for on eightvape (which was extreme)... the only thing that comes close to the deals at eightvape was the Melo RBAs and that was only due to a misprint.

$7?, I need to shop where you're shopping. lol. $10-$15 would seem reasonable had we not seen the price at eightvape. Many of us picked up multiples of the Hellbeast RBAs for 9.99 plus shipping.

LOL I'm not comparing to 8vape's price. They were selling at liquidation prices to move out old stock. Some of their RBAs for older 2016/2017 tanks were being sold for literally $0.00

I was referring to RBA prices in general - comparing to prices of authentic RBAs I have bought in the past for other tanks, like Kanger, Uwell, Aspire, Innokin, Joyetech, etc.

But the $15 price at iJoy USA isn't surprising considering manufacturers usually retail their product at full MSRP unless having a sale.

The only good thing about buying from manufacturers directly is at least you know it's authentic and they can't dishonor a warranty on the grounds of "you bought a fake" lol

    No Problem - It was "My" Absolute Pleasure to try to provide at least some information here . . . Anyway, might I suggest Ya' keep checking the site they just might show up . . . .And/or contact their CS via Chat and see when they may finally be in stock or if you can still order them anyway to take advantage of the Sale and when they come in they could send them . . . I know if you do order something and it is not in stock or a preorder, they'll put a hold on the order until they get it in . . . Just a thought . . . :?:


    .

    I ended up buying the last five boxes of 1.2's that healthcabin had. They were a pretty good price there but only had five boxes. I think it came out to 7.61 per box with shipping included. It was better than the price I paid at FT for the first two boxes I got.

    If you ever mistakenly buy a tank with an 810 drip tip bore, you can buy 810 to 510 drip tip adapters. They may not always look good on your tank, but at least you can use a 510 drip tip on a tank that otherwise would be useless to you.

    I'm not a fan of 810 extra-wide bore drip tips. It's like vaping on a tailpipe. You may as well just ditch the drip tip and put your mouth around the whole tank lol.

    It's worse than what we used to call tailpiping. I was never a smoker of fat cigars. It's like sucking on a garden hose.

    I pulled a JC :lol: about an hour ago and googled the exo build deck. I found both of those sites you both have listed. The ijoy site wouldn't let me create an account and there is no add to cart only add to wishlist (?), and the vapehappy site won't let me order as it sits there and does nothing when I press make my order. I'm truly done with spending money anyway. I'll take my 3 cent credit :laugh: and be happy with what I've got in my stash. I have about 30 dropin coils for the revenger and that's enough for now. I'm just worried now that eightvape waited so long, they won't have my coils in stock either. And again, if not, I have PLENTY. :)

    Off topic...but it's so weird to me that when I was on vacation the days flew by and 4 o'clock would get here and I was wondering what happened to all that time. Now that I'm back at work I'll work hard and think ah I'm getting close to lunch and it'll be only 8 freaking 30 in the morning! Time moves slow at work, fast at home, no matter how hard I work. o_O

    Not that it makes you feel any better, but I paid $1.99 each for mine, I got them right before they dropped them to a penny.
    I bought 100 of them not because I need them because I knew that everyone wanted them and it would piss you all off. Figured for a $1 investment I could sell them for $5 and make $499. Jk

    This discussion may explain why I had to sign for vape mail sent from England. It was sent by Royal Mail. It arrived in the US quickly, but then there was a long delay after it was handed over to the USPS. I assumed that it had to clear customs or something. When it arrived to me, a signature was required. This has never happened when domestic sellers send by USPS. Is that going to become a thing? Will it affect Fed Ex and UPS?
    I had to sign for a flavor order from Chefs yesterday. I assumed it was because it had tracking. My prior order a couple of weeks before was no tracking, no signature. Customs declaration said “food flavoring”

    What is sad is that I almost wish that were true... then I could pick up some backups for $5 each. lmao

    YEP - I've had an USPS account for a number of years and Informed Delivery for over 2 years now (the only bad things is a neighbor put down the wrong apt number and I now see & get all her mail even though a change of address was submitted 3x's). AND - Today was the first I knew about having an Electronic Signature on file . . . SO - We'll just have to wait to see what happens, especially if I get anything "NIC" related that ask for a signature (be it an adult signature or not) . . . :rolleyes:

    Anyway - The other good thing is having an account with both UPS & FedEx - I get an email notification when something is coming to me even if I didn't order anything - even any "NIC" products . . . :thumbs:

    OH YEA - BTW: Recently started getting UPS notices on delivery day with a link to a GPS detail about the delivery truck and where it is . . . Bet the UPS driver really enjoys that . . . :lol: :lol: :lol:


    .
    I recently told my UPS guy I’d been tracking him all day, and he looked shocked lol. Noooo idea. Love being able to see where he is if I need to go run an errand while I’m waiting impatiently

    The way things are going, I doubt any laws are going to differentiate devices (both hardware and accessories) from Nic... heck, even just battery mods are labeled as nicotine and highly addictive. lol We will be signing and showing ID for lanyards and vapebands, if they are even permitted to be shipped at all.
    There would be a delay between congress passing the law and it being implemented, right?

    And, BigPappa's Vape Depot will presumably be able to covertly ship via USPS forever, right!? Please say right. :D

    I get medical supplies every month I have to sign for. I assume its because they are worth about $600.

    I love wide bore drip tips personally. :)

    I've said this before but I've only used an aftermarket drip tip a small handful of times, and early on in my vaping life. I take what I'm given, they all work fine.

    I recently told my UPS guy I’d been tracking him all day, and he looked shocked lol. Noooo idea. Love being able to see where he is if I need to go run an errand while I’m waiting impatiently

    Hmmm I'm waiting for a UPS package right now and I don't have this option, but I believe I have in the past. Maybe some trucks don't have it? I'm logged into my account and everything, don't see the option.

    NORMALLY there would be a delay, a good long one. But the FDA has full reign. With the flavored pod ban, that was not supposed to go into effect until Summer/Fall 2020, but the FDA stepped in and made it immediate. I suppose they could do that with any new laws related to vaping that come on the books, with the exception of maybe taxes as that is not a regulatory issue.
