Oh crap I forgot something! A gun to hold off all the bandits. What's the cheapest ammo these days?
We have two Aussie shepherds. Most people are rightfully uneasy about several healthy size pooches defending their turf. Excellent hearing, a good warning bark, and big teeth [emoji3]

(Not cheap, but they're also good foot warmers.)

And size issues. I have been scarfing up tanks that will fit my Picos.

I use a 22mm 510 heat sink to get around the 22mm atty size limitation of Pico mods. This is a 24.75mm atty on a pico. Obviously there are downsides to this technique, but it works for me as I always use heat sinks anyhow. Even as a lower wattage vaper, those atties still get pretty hot and I like to keep heat away from my mods as much as possible.

Woah. First time in living memory I've signed in and didn't see this thread hanging out on page 1. So... everybody all stocked up then?
I have been done since the March 27th date. I refuse to set myself up on anymore reporting lists than absolutely necessary. If I need anything else I will do the 70 mile drive to the nearest vape shop. Odds are I won't need anything that is not easily obtained from non vape sources from here on out though.

I still read the thread daily though as there might be questions people have that I can answer.

I agree with you! If I can find cotton, batteries, and such I'm good. I have a vape shop about one mile from my house. I never stopped but I might check it out. It's high end so I don't know if I can afford it. I'll be a Lucy looker.

A lot of folks mentioning HealthCabin. I ordered a pico 25 blue and white from them - there were basically no pico 25's available from US dealers, at least that I could find. I did pay $10 or 11 for shipping, but the initial price was so low ($25) that to me it was worth it. Moreover, the shipping was incredibly fast. Same with Sourcemore and Vapesourcing. FT, on the other hand, really is trying my patience -

I received my Hellvape Vertex from healthcabin today.

It departed China 4/11, arrived LA 4/21. Departed LA 4/23, then 17track status showed "mail in transit within the country". It showed in my mailbox today.

Price shipped was $23 (Easter discount and cheapest shipping). Actual shipping time to my door was reasonable, though the tracking in-USA was funny to see.

I wanted an Aegis Legend. The delivered price was pretty close to equal on healthcabin and fasttech. I ordered from fasttech. At the time, the $17+ that HC wanted for shipping was offputting, and I'm in no rush, so a month or two for delivery is no big deal to me.
But, in retrospect, even though FT boasts free shipping, such a thing doesn't actually exist in reality. It essentially means shipping is included in the sticker price. Stay in a hotel with 'free' Continental Breakfast, same deal...you pay for that cold breakfast whether you eat it or sleep in. So, even though $17 IS steep, at least it's honest. And, apparently faster.

Just As An FYI:

From April 30th through May 5th - is actually International Labour Day and/or Workers Day that is celebrated in many countries, especially - more so - on May 1st:

Labour Day around the world in 2021 by Day | Office Holidays


Guess the rest of the World does not take a monolithic or nationalist view of the "holiday" as some do . . . .Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

Well it looks like I am done, one thing I wanted just for fun says pick up only so not going to get that. I may try something from fasttech, just parts, but that is about it. I have plenty of everything really, just can't believe I can't buy online after doing that for so many years.

Thanks for including the size. I almost bought the wrong thing but came back to double check your post. LOL it was right up there first thing where I was bound to miss it. :blink:

I actually went back and edited it later that day to include the size. that may be why you missed it before.

Realize the downsides to this method, the main ones being...
- the look
- it adds weight to the setup
- it adds height to the tank
- you'll likely have to remove or significantly loosen the the tank in order to remove the battery cap to change the battery.
- FT only sells the floating pin types anymore. All these floating pins are very long which means you will likely have to have a gap between the mod and the heat sink or between the tank and the mod. You can solve this problem by sanding down the pin (it's copper so it's not that hard to do) or you can modify it and turn it into an adjustable pin heat sink where you have a screw on the inside of the female 510 and one on the outside at the male 510 and those serve as your adjustable pin. It's a simple modification but requires you to buy screws and threaded standoffs. If you're interested to understand more about the modification, see this thread.

I mixed up some of my recipe for Samoa Cookie, this stuff is so good I want to take a bite! LOL I like it better than RealFlavors.
4 parts FA Cookie
1 part FA Caramel
1 part FA Coconut
1 part IN milk chocolate

I am sure any brand flavor will work, I just had FlavourArt on hand and regular chocolate would probably work too. I think I need to pick up more flavors to have on hand.

Looks like a good recipe and I have every flavor except the INW milk chocolate. I have many other chocolates that I could sub.

I think any chocolate would work. I just read add Fresh Cream to Chocolate to get Milk Chocolate flavor, so if the Chocolate is too strong add the Fresh cream :) oh and sweeten to taste, I use just a drop of sweetener
