    I appreciate it. It would just be nice to know that they do indeed remember and that they are either working on it or simply forgot to give me the tracking number and it's already in the mail coming from another country :)

    I sent a pm to the rep a little bit ago. The current rep is new. I've done one review for her so far. Hopefully she will respond but with the time change it may be Monday before I have a chance of getting a response.

    Three reviewers here on ECF can't get the Geekvape rep to respond to messages despite the fact the person is posting on their section of the forum.
    I just finished live chatting with Matt from GeekVape After Sales Support. I mentioned the many issues with the new ECF GeekVape rep.

    I made sure he understood their rep is completely ignoring all communications from their Customers.

    Matt checked the ECF GeekVape section. He forwarded the information to management.

    Hopefully they get the new GV rep squared away.

    I have had a couple contest wins take forever to arrive. I just chalk it up as it didn't cost me anything so if it comes, great and if it doesn't, oh well.[/QUOTE]

    I agree to some extent. But I also feel that only applies if there is a good faith effort. (Which I'm definitely not saying is a issue here It's probably something much more mundane like simply forgetting lol.)

    This was kind of a strange contest and I think it contributed to the lack of interest. First it wasn't for a vape device It was a surprise gift. Not a big deal I'm sure that has to do with shipping rules. Sadly I think that that may have limited the interest. But what was really weird was that you had to post that the exact minute of the day. It translated to 12:01 a.m. for me on the East Coast of Florida. So that was a little oddball and then it wasn't your typical you know tag three friends tell us what you like about the products or you know word chain. They asked that you come up with a creative prediction story as to what they were going to unveil at their event in France regarding their new branding. So it was a little bit more involved and a little bit less chance.

    Thanks for mentioning it but I'm not going to hold my breath. I've talked with a rep at Geekvape a couple times and talked to the admin on Geeklab and still have not been contacted even though it's been promised multiple times.

    Does anyone know if China's on some sort of vacation? I entered a contest for a surprise pack It's probably non vape related because it is vaporesso and I am in the states, but still. I won after it seemed like they were kind of reluctant to even announce it. And then they had said that there would be three winners and They only chose one which was me. But that was on like the 16th April when they announced the winner maybe the 19th I think it was the 16th I don't feel like checking my DMs. I haven't heard back. So on Saturday I asked for a tracking number. And then again on Wednesday through DM and now I've posted on the actual thread 2 days ago and nothing.

    I wouldn't necessarily expect it to be here but it also hasn't shown up on my informed delivery. But I would expect for them to have shipped it at least told me why it hasn't been shipped in the last 20 some odd days.

    The contest was regarding posting at a very specific minute of the day regarding their rebrand. I guess I should have guessed that the rebrand was going to be ignoring the forum lol
    I figure I'll update. Hittman was kind enough to reach out to them and just so happens that they reached out to me. It was funny because yesterday when I woke up and I checked my private messages there were two messages. One from Hittman. And the other from the rep. Apparently they ran out of stock and will tell me when it comes back in stock.. whatever it is. So I just wanted to let everyone know how nice that was of Hittman. Just a stand up person!

    Does anyone remember that unicorn hair aggleted cotton It came with like a pack of 10 matchbox like containers in a little cardboard box? I think it was Medusa unicorn hair. Anyhow I usually don't really like agleted cotton but for some reason that cotton works really really well with one of my favorite RBAs like it's the exact number of strands or something and my usual 13 ft just doesn't do it as well Even when I trim it down the same way. Just something about this cotton e juice and that RBA that really like each other.

    Has anyone seen that around? I did a search and I found it on a couple sites but they all seem to be out of commission sites. I remember getting two boxes of it from some website or another back when there was all the flash sales and we thought that vaping would end by the end of that year...*in some ways we weren't that far off* If anyone knows where I can get some or has used it and has a similar recommendation even if it's not agleted cotton it's just working better than my usual 13 ft in this one setup which is apparently my favorite setup for the moment.

    SNIP...

    FYI China is effectively on lockdown for the past month or so. They had 200+ new cases per day spike and this put the country into an almost draconic lockdown. I would expect any reps that do respond are doing so from their homes.

    It's probably why they're out of stock. Or something along those lines cuz I think the contest started right before that. As a matter of fact it's kind of strange that all these companies are still doing contests maybe they have warehouses and manufacturers in other areas that are going to pick up the slack. Do you happen to know and I'll look it up but just in case anyone's curious do you happen to know if Hong Kong is included I would imagine they probably would be with everything going on in that regard

    Despite my claim of being done stocking up, I just received a package from 3F Vaping today, containing a Timesvape Ardent 27mm RDA, and a 25 mm Tauren Max Glass Edition RDA. I previously bought some glass tops from Trinity Glass for other atomizers but never tried them out yet.

    I ordered from 3F on May 7th, using PayPal, and it was delivered today. 14 days not bad. Interestingly the package was relabeled after it came into the US.

    Add me on to the poor customer service or lack of any customer service! They don’t respond to most emails whether it’s for sales or service. And charging me to but a bf pin for the Z rda. It’s under $2.00 ffs! Spent almost $9 bucks shipping and it’s been lost in Los Angeles and resent from China. I think that’s what the email said.

    Well, you can be done stocking up yet need new goodies for current use.

    If you use things from your stash, then you need to replace them.
    New things don't need to be replaced.

    It is much more efficient this way.

    Hong Kong reopens as Beijing begins less restrictive lockdown
    it looks like Hong Kong started reopening 2 weeks ago. No other info I can find if that stayed the course or went back to lockdown

    I'm looking for Caliburn G, especially the pods.

    I have three of the Caliburn G pods that I bought on accident instead of the G2 pods. You can have them if you want. By the way, your inbox is full.

    I just thought I'd share that my power went out for almost 48 hours this weekend starting Fri night. I just went to bed when it cut out. Saturday wasn't too bad, I have four full batts for my dual charger batteries and expected power back soon. By Sunday morning I wasn't real low on batteries but I was beginning to think of the temporary outage as a long term thing and wanted to charge up.

    So picture me, in the grocery store Starbucks, with a power strip I brought, running a laptop and charging 2 power banks and... that's right, a Nitecore charger full of 18650s. Right in King Soopers. The biggest surprise is that all the outlets were open when there was 185,000 customers without power in Denver. My power came back last night and everything has been dandy since. I'll probably never charge 18650s in a grocery store again.

    This is one reason I love my XTAR VP2 chargers; they came with 12V "cigarette lighter" adapters, so the ability to charge batteries is never further away than my car.
