    Preorder10

    I kept the under $1 shipping insurance that it'll automatically add, and took the free shipping option.
    That's the quickest "pre-order" I've had.

    Got my 20 boxes of TFV12 coils in, feeling much better about my stock in that department. Thanks again @JCinFLA for the find!

    Set up a small monthly donation to CASAA, thanks for reposting that @Katya I had gotten the email but skimmed right by it.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I ordered some more Gt coils from FT about a month and a half ago and they still haven’t made it out of China yet. I started a ticket and they said they’d check on it. I don’t have a lot of hope that either they are lost or it’ll be another two months before I get them.

    It's no longer about what I need but what I might want. Finally I have one tank that I sort of like (MTL) and another promising one on the way. One has an amber PEI tank and the other stainless. I hate glass. I discovered a tighter fitting silicone slip ring for controling leaks for pocket carry and adjusting air supply so got a bunch of those.
    My version of a pod is this little guy. The tank is Berserker mini with it's stainless barrel. I figure I can replace the battery if that's ever necessary. Call it my black tie vape, made for each other, nice looking. The same in silver is on the way.

    Care to share a ling to these rings?

    $1.30 Silicone Anti-slip Ring for E-Cigarettes Atomizers / Mods (5-Pack) 5-pack - black / 22mm at FastTech - Free Shipping

    I find the printing obnixous so I turn them inside out. They are very tight on my 22mm rda's so rarely slip off and keep the air supply adjustment more reliably. These parts are what I've stashed, my goto setup for most of the time I've been vaping.

    P.S. The drip tip is a Derringer style, machined not molded, so I can drip without removing it.

    I'm not a big fan of tanks, prefer my trusty SV rda clones. I have a couple of tank styles and use them at times but never my first choice. There are people here who know way more about thanks than me. The other tank I'm using right now is this, I think it's a 24 mm beserker? It's okay and has it's place but I get a better vape from the RDA. At least the 24 has never leaked a drop. Wish I could say the same for the 22mm version.

    Big thumbs down for ejuiceconnect :(

    I ordered 4 bottles that I wanted to try, even though their shipping is at the high end. They removed one bottle from its box, had it lying across the other three boxes, had to push down on the cap (which messes up the seal) to get it to squeeze into the mailer they used. Needless to say, it leaked.

    Edit: My report of a problem to them:
    "The vanilla papaya almond was sent as a loose bottle in the package, leaked all over the package.
    The other 3 eliquids had no leaking."


    Their response:
    "Please be aware that the tamper-proof rings on Unicorn Type Bottles and seals may be weak and can break off and/or come loose during shipping. EJuice Connect will not offer replacements due to broken tamper rings."

    (Yes, the response was to something other than what I reported, but accepts no responsibility to correct things.)

    The tamper ring hadn't been broken, but the top had been pushed down, by them, in order for them to fit it in the mailer in the wrong direction (mailer width was too small to handle the bottle height - they needed to use one size larger packaging, but instead tried to pinch pennies after charging > $10 shipping).

    A normal supplier would treat it as a whoops, reship or a store credit

    Net - This is one of the few suppliers I'd avoid going forward.

    (I have reached out to them a 2nd time, will update this if they straighten things out.)

    Edit: Monday - "As a one time courtesy we will issue a refund on the 1 Vanilla Papaya Almond Milk Drop E-Liquid."

    By pushing I got a resolution that makes sense.

    From CASAA:

    To all of our members,

    All things considered, CASAA has had a good run. Since our inception in 2009, we’ve helped elevate the voice of consumers to a degree that top officials at the Food and Drug Administration make public statements acknowledging the benefits of vaping and other smoke-free alternatives. We need your help to keep this energy going.

    As you well know, CASAA membership is free. We provide all of our services and information to the public without asking for much in return. We don’t sell our members’ data and we don’t put up paywalls. We rely 100% on voluntary donations. So when we tell you that we’ve seen an almost 40% decline in donations over the past year, understand that it means our ability to continue providing information and services is in grave danger.

    In light of this, we are doing something we’ve never really done before: We are asking you, plainly and simply, to donate to CASAA. Today. Right now.

    DONATE NOW

    The truth is, if every person who opened this email donated just $2.00, we’d have the funding we need to stay operational for the rest of the year. If even half of those people signed up for monthly $2.00 donations, our operating costs would be covered, and we could start implementing plans for expansion.

    What would expansions look like for CASAA?

    · Let’s get some real lobbying power. Lobbying firms are expensive and for years consumers have been left to rely on industry associations to provide lobbying resources such as access to lawmakers and even seats at public hearings. We need our own voice in legislatures and we need to pay for it on our own.

    · Expanded Programs. Prepping for spoken testimony, educational materials for lawmakers, and PR campaigns all require up-front investment of money and people power. More funding = more staff and more opportunities to reach people outside of the vaping community.

    · Sustained defense against enduring threats. Just because the FDA is promising to crack down on non-compliant manufacturers after September 9, 2020, doesn’t mean that our fight is over. Anti-nicotine idealogues are pressuring all levels of government to enact stricter laws that are creating new problems and we need to be equipped to respond as well as proactively fix existing bad policies.
    Done!

    I donated to keep Greg Conely on the road.

    BTW I have one of those I-quit-smoking banners for a signature but it doesn't update like it used to. Anyone know the fix for that?
    You have to pick a different code option than before and it’ll start working again. Someone computer literate can correct me, but I think it’s the BB option
