Ok, I just purchased 2 (Red and Green) for about 60 bucks total. I have now officially completed my pre PMTA mod purchasing. That will give me 5 Solos, 4 Colossals, 1 Swag 2, and several dual battery mods (that I never use anymore, but are nice to have in case).I just called and talked with Haley at Central Vapors. Asked her if she could get an Aegis Solo new in the box and unwrapped...and check some things on it for me. According to what her answers to my questions were....I'd say they're authentic GeekVape Solo mods.
I bought an orange solo kit from them. I just pulled it out and unwrapped it and scratched the code and looked for everything as seen here:I just called and talked with Haley at Central Vapors.

Authenticity
Mine is authentic.
I checked the price for the mod only at centralvapors.com and with shipping and vapor25 code the price would be $34.63. At eightvape.com with their 25% off sale right now and shipping their price for one solo mod is $46.51.
Yeah, I think 8Vape is really only worth shopping at if you are buying a bunch of stuff at once. Because their shipping seems pretty high compared to others.
Glad to hear about your authentic Solo btw. I think the orange is one of the few colors of the Solo I didn't end up with. I do like the looks of it though.
My least favorite color as it reminds me of a rival football team and it was the last color I bought...but it is my son's favorite color so yeah. I bought one.
I remember that discussion about the color. I don't think I got the orange and I love orange. Oh well. I like the Solo for its ruggedness and have a couple, but since I am not hard on mods, I don't need more. I use mine when I go in the pool or cut grass.My least favorite color as it reminds me of a rival football team and it was the last color I bought...but it is my son's favorite color so yeah.

Eightvape had FANTASTIC prices during sales. I mean they had boxes of coils for a penny! Not just a five pack either...an entire huge BOX. A lot of my stash is from eightvape. I made an eightvape order just the other day. Sometimes their sales made their shipping worth it.
I'm sure they have their positives, although I have never bought anything from them. I was just saying that it seems like a place you benefit more from making a large order as opposed to buying just one mod or tank.
Last September Eightvape likely purchased bulk inventory from some store chain or distributor that was closing. They had a bunch of mods, tanks and coils at prices far below cost for brief periods, plus various discount codes that popped up for those of us using Honey. Before that they weren't on most people's radar. I check from time to time but those sweet deals haven't shown up since January. (My best may be the Tarot Baby kit for $7.33 shipped!)
With their current 25% off through 8/31 I don't expect any additional special deals but there's a possibility something happens in September. Worth checking at least!

I think I said this before in this thread, but I believe those ridiculous deals from 8vape, Mt. baker vapor (and a couple others) was stuff being dumped because it didn't have a "tobacco warning" on the package.
The only thing I bought from those sales that has a warning on it is the Swag kit and it's not a tobacco warning, it's a California Cancer warning, which doesn't satisfy the FDA regulations.
I suspect this is the case with some of the stuff that is/was being sold on ejuicesteals, but I can't confirm that because I never bought anything form them. I know from talking to others that some of their stuff was defective, so that's another reason for the dumping.
I recall Nevada was about to impose a tax on vape product inventory and Eightvape seemed to be lightening their load in a hurry before eventually moving. Ejuicesteals sure had some nice finds earlier this year and still does, just a bit higher. I'm thankful we've been able to share these opportunities as they came up.
It seemed to start with those Jackaroos - what a feeding frenzy! I wonder what year I'll open one up.

They have a nice hand feel but some find them a bit heavy. No USB charging but that was OK with me. I picked a couple up for heavier outdoor stuff, sort of a poor man's Aegis. I really liked the G10 panels after using them on the VandyVape Pulse mods which influenced my choice.
Maybe one of the newer Aegis models would scratch that itch?
Sitting here charging batteries and prepping for the hurricane we have coming in tomorrow night. Need to rewick som attys but I have a ton of stuck BF RDA caps and hands giving me grief Seriously thinking about just setting up new attys since I can get em open. ROFL

Is it heavier than the pulse 90? It's sort of my ideal weight for a single battery mod and I like the board it uses.
Yeah it was tracking straight to me until it shifted far West, are you coastal LA?Sitting here charging batteries and prepping for the hurricane we have coming in tomorrow night. Need to rewick som attys but I have a ton of stuck BF RDA caps and hands giving me grief

Central Lousiana. Normally storms are not all that bad once they get this far north but Rita hit us at hurricane strength and they are now saying this sucker is taking RIta's path right up Sabine pass to toledo bend. Toledo bend is less than 30 miles from here. Yeah its gonna get nasty for us. Will hit us a TS strength and possibly more.
I fully expect at least a day and possibly far longer without power.
I've got them tucked away but checking elsewhere I find that the Pulse 80 is showing up at 285 grams while the Jackaroo is 230.
That board even offers old school variable voltage, which I enjoy. Wish I could have gotten an all black with G10 but that wasn't an option during the sale.
