Are you done stocking up?

I've been running an EUC 0.5 ceramic in the Veco, on the Armour Pro, for 6 hours, 12 ml.

Compared to a brand new coil on my ADV squonk setup the flavor is a tossup - both are excellent, directly comparable.

I also haven't seen any leaking. Can anyone tell me when/how that's occurred? There's no obvious excess liquid in the chimney - held upside down nothing comes out, and I've had no gurgling sounds. My airflow is set half open, and I'm running about 50% PG.

I'll try leaving the mod on its side overnight, which will have one of the airflow openings pointed directly down, see if a tissue under it is wet in the morning.

I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying this tank/coil is consuming more juice than on other tanks/coils vaped at the same resistance and wattage?

I was doing some reading on another forum today and someone made a really good point about how this coronavirus crisis will affect vaping in the US. One problem, of course, is getting orders from Chinese retailers like FastTech, Everzon, etc. We've discussed that a lot.

But maybe an even bigger problem is that US vape shops we all buy from also can't get new stock from China right now. And if this goes on very long, will they even bother ordering more stock at all since everything will probably be cut off in May. Why would a US retailer order a lot of stock right now that might not get to them until April, leaving them with a lot of unsold inventory when May 10th hits? Just something more we need to keep in mind, especially if you haven't done any stocking up yet.

And what I don't get is I've never seen clearance prices on vape gear as I have seen this 2019/2020 holiday season and even still going on now. But admittedly, I never bargain-shopped for my vape stash like I did this time around.

For me with topfill tanks the leaking is usually out the airholes. Since the airholes are above the liquid level on the Veco that does not seem to be a problem.

FYI Post the change of coil my Veco is still going strong as well. No leaking. I put a .4 ohm clapton coil in it though in case the ceramics I have were the ones causing the problem (could be a bad batch?)

I honestly believe we saw the huge sales this year because the lung illness bs REALLY hurt the industry. Shops found themselves with way too much stock. Now though shortages are real and it is only going to get worse as we close in on May.

I just made one last FastTech order for odds and ends. Hopefully it will make it through, we'll see. TBF, it also has non-vape related odds and ends in it.

I've been absent from the thread for a while. My old cat passed away. Still very sad about it. But have adopted a new cat. He came from animal control, he's a two time resident there. He doesn't like loud noises and small children. Neither do I, so I took him home with me! Not a replacement by any means, but he's very much a distraction!

I’m so sorry about your cat. I had to put my dog down in December. I miss my little one but the pain get better with time.

I does. It comes in waves. Hardest thing I've ever done. I did not let him suffer, which I guess was rougher on me, but better for him. So sorry you lost your pup, too. It's the trade-off, I guess, heartbreak for all the love we get.

Almost no carbs. Heavy of fresh veggies, some lean meats and lots of fruit.
Im on a low carb diet, high protein, limited veggies and some fruit. But that's just due to my diabetes and a stomach condition I have. Haven't lost much (disappointed) but my blood work looks a ton better.

My cat passed away in December and I adopted a rambunctious deaf kitten that keeps me on my toes by knocking everything off of any surface, dragging around various said objects, and attacking my other cat who finally plays with him now.
Time helps a lot of things but there are moments where I miss him or others I have lost. It just gets less painful each time. Probably nothing you haven't heard before.
On another note I did wonder where you were.

Remember when Solos and Jackaroo's were on sale? I haven't seen them marked down like that since late summer/fall. Glad I got what I wanted back then :) Other sales have been amazing at Eightvape and their coils. It seems some places are truly clearing out stock while others not so much. Will be interesting as we get closer to May.

or maybe it was a typo and you meant ejuice steals? considering the K is next to the L... lol
That’s indeed what I meant! I was trying to post covertly while I was supposed to be working. So probably a typo, but I just like to blame everything on autocorrect, LOL . And I did get a notification that my triton mini coils are shipping, even tho they said, and still say, refunded. Yay!! Still bummed that the Suorin Drops aren’t coming tho, they are perfect for stealth vaping at work. Fit very nicely in my pocket. The only downside is they don’t last very long before they break.

My FT order placed 2/6 shipped today, two weeks later. Someone is still at the helm over there.
I read somewhere that the spread of coronavirus has slowed in China. Separately read the government is sending people back to work. Hmm interesting.

Nothing plastic lasts long if you shove it in pockets. I think it's @markfm that hangs his from lanyards. Try that route.

This one is also quite rambuctious! He's half the size of my old cat, and of course, younger. He fits in the smallest spots, and has to climb everything. I got him a 5 foot tall cat tree, and now he's trying to reach the ceiling. My old cat was big guy, and very mellow from day one at 9 months old. This one is nutty! He's also got some issues from being in animal control, and I think being tormented by small children. I least I don't have to make him as neurotic as I am because he came that way. :lol:

    I received a shipping notice from FT this morning for an order placed five days ago. They are still holding another order for items to come back in stock but I'm in no hurry so I'll wait.

    Mine came from the Humane Society. He likes the Amazon boxes that I bring into my house all too frequently. He especially likes the brown paper inside them. He attacks it, hides under it and has figured out how to use it as a slip n slide.
