I think everyone is a little too scared of age verification but maybe that's just me.
I dont think it's fear. It's one's personal info being out there for anyone to see. I know online companies say they dont give it out or it's safe with them but the more your personal info is given out the more chance of identity theft and sales calls (even if you are on the do not call list).

One of the worst things to do is give out a CC card and of course we cant easily pay on line without them. I found a work around that several years ago. I pay online with shop Safe. Look it up. It's a service offered by Bank of America that allows me to obtain a CC number that is attached to my account. I enter the amount this number is good for and use it for an online purchase. I do this for each individual purchase. Gives me peace of mind that my card wont be charged bogus.

I bought some wrapz for my pv, has anyone wrapped theirs up in one?

Not yet. I was thinking about doing that a few times. I actually prefer the mini over the reg; the deep ribbed tear drop engravings, I find it to be very sleek, IMO. Although, I do love to customize as well, probably wouldn't hurt as it does protect it some more too. How much are they now? I remember there was a dude J-Wraps (I think it was the name) that did all various colors, finished, material for the Provari; carbon fibre, matte, gloss, etc.

I bought mine from provape for $1
I'm using the magenta color. So much easier to see were I lefted at. The silver blends in to much!

Here is the nautilus/Kabuki V2 rebuildable coil I ordered, not sure how good it is but thought worth a try for when my coils run out :) Even if it is small I have my super duper magnifying lamp now LOL! VVFT Video

Oh, I hope you have teeny fingers to go with the magnifying glass to use that RBA! Also, you should check if you have a Kabuki clone (or maybe even the authentic) there was another Kabuki base you had to order off FT for it to fit. Something to just check before you need it.
 
You can get a phone number for free from Google and use Google Hangouts (also free) to get (and send) texts. So there are ways around it if you have no cell phone or don't want to give your cell number out. I installed the Google Dialer on my tablet and it's now a wireless phone if I want it to be.

Got it! Thanks!!! :thumb:

I do have small hands :) I also used to build circuit boards using a microscope years ago, so have some experience with teenie tiny and working with tweezers :) So I am hoping that helps me now that I am way older ha ha!
I will see if they send they bases too.

UGH. I don't use PG so can't speak to that, but wouldn't making VG unvapable (unpalatable?) also make it unusable for making candies and such? I believe it would.

I too think it's a little far-fetched. But then again seeing the FDA's zeal for protecting us from ourselves I would put nothing past them. It's good insurance anyway and PG/VG is inexpensive.
 
Oh, we have one of those but not the same color... ours is yellow....but also kept 2 of our Princess phones.....loved those lil treasures.
We kept our land line also.....just feel better having it.

Got rid of "my" landline abt 5yrs ago. It use to be my grandmothers phone number all the way back to when they had Party Lines in the Chicago Stockyards area.

Most of the result of this rba have been horrid. It's more trouble than it's worth.

EDIT TO ADD~ I suggest anyone looking to buy this RBA, PLEASE do some research first. There are threads here & reddit about how terrible it is. Researching may help you save some money.
 
Old phones? TV? Cable TV?

I have Comcast cable for Internet, but no TV. I'm running at around 59Mbps DOWN, 12Mbps UP(but it's supposed to be 75Mbps DOWN), and Comcast offered me 150Mbps, but it was packaged with TV, and although I'd like it at some point in the future didn't get the package. No TV/Cable TV here, not since the switch over to digital TV. I quit watching TV back around '95 for the most part. Last series that I watched was LOST. I do watch 2 to 3 NHL games a month when it's in season, but that is done at my brother's place.

    I actually have a BOA checking/savings/CC so I'll definitely look into that, thanks.

    Meh i was going to post more about this but I just got dragged into all kinds of infighting in another vaping group and I'm just happy to be here with you guys. HUGS! :wub:

    So i guess i should be expecting to sign for mine when I get it back from Provape.

    I really don't know, Bea-FL. I didn't expect to sign for this one, but, hey, Aug. 8th changed quite a few things. Could also be a way around the on-line I.D. verification thingy. :)

    I have to admit I haven't kept up on any version #'s. The only thing I keep coming across that seems to be unanimous is it's bad.
    Well I will let you know once I try it! LOL I like the Kabuki so much was trying for something to keep it going when I run out of coils.

    @Vandal The vibe I got from meeting people up in Boulder was a very good one. Very kind, friendly, laid back, helpful feel. If I didn't live in Austin, I would consider moving there, start a new adventure, but unless they outlaw vaping, something drastic happens, or maybe if I won the lottery, it's a "Well it wouldn't be bad if.." situation. All I know is I would fit it with the lifestyle up there just fine I think.

    EDIT: maybe Chicago as well. I love creative, artistic hotspots. Music. Entertainment is important to me. You only live once. I try to smile as much as I can.
