Are you done stocking up?

[LoriP1702]

that was me spending quality time with hubby and son! Left handed using right handed clubs, and I had more fun driving the cart than golfing, why they bought me clubs and made me go I will never know! Love them dearly tho!

Oh, that's me too. I have the clubs, I'm left handed, with right handed clubs too, but...I bat right handed, left doesn't feel right. I have more fun in the cart and spending a day outdoors too. I'm a horrible golfer, and it usually ends with me in tears...I can putt okay though. The driving range is fun too.

I just randomly ordered something that said USP off Amazon and wasn't quite sure what that meant at the time but knew it was vapeable. Nice to know my random order was the same brand that you're all using.

I'd only ever ordered premixed VG/Nic for DIY at the level I needed it to be. This was my first experience as well ordering VG, so I just ordered where the others had suggested. I'm learning things as I go too.

Mine is coconut based usp.

Where did you get coconut base from?
Sounds awesome!

It really does!

 

[bnrkwest]

Gee, that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me in a long time.

Oh, you mean the Radius?

LOL!!!!

 

[ColoKaren]

I got 2 gallons of VG from Essential Depot (I think?), and am pretty sure that said it's derived from coconut oil. But I bought that in the midst of my stockpiling frenzy, so don't trust me on that!

Thanks, it has a nice shape & looks comfortable to hold.

Yes, it is quite comfy. The "plastic" that naysayers like to gripe about so much is wonderful, great texture, extremely durable and not cold to the touch. Mine look brand new and they have had a lot of use and abuse for the past 10 or so months.

I use my tube collection at home, but am a sucker for more purse appropriate mods. Though I have some I adore, the Radius has been the one I grab whenever I leave the house. A couple other faves live in the purse for back up.

BTW, I read some comments here on ID/signature delivery requirements. I just got a Radius delivered this morning; I met the mail dude at the box with ID in hand, but he didn't ask for a sig or ID, and said no reqs for that after he checked when I asked about that. That was about my 10th order from Provape, so maybe they were rightly unconcerned. For the record, I'm more than 3x the minimum age.

Ditto on the Radius love. I dropped my purple onto a metal floor lamp, and have a small gash in the plastic that only I notice. I need a purple sheath for that, 'cause the clear looks icky to me.

Thanks, I'll have to take a look. I ordered from them a few weeks ago but I think they only had palm, or soy available at the time.

They used to sell coconut-derived VG, but no more sadly. I'm on the look-out for the coconut-derived myself.

They have soy derived but no Coconut that I can see. The Soy/Coconut are OK to vape I assume? I am a newb but most of the stuff I read before buying said to make sure it was Palm derived.

The last time I ordered there was nothing noted about it being "palm based". Just that it was made from coconuts. It still states that it is, so I wonder if it's a legal thing about saying it "palm based".

I guess the coconut tree is a palm tree. Just a different kind from the ones that palm oil, and probably the majority of VG, is made from. I don't really know. Is there a botanist in the house?

Anything derived from Palm is terrible for the environment, unless it is from Fair Trade sources, if that is a concern to you. Soy should be okay as long as it's not from GMO soy. I have found some coconut derived, but none so far that is certified USP, only food grade.

I do think the P3 is much better than the v2.5. Nothing extra for ext caps, has the boost feature which I like. Does anyone remember when you had to pay 20.00 extra for any color led other than red?

My thinking is more along lines of how many cheaper vv mods I can get for that price. Not made as well as Provari and won't last as long, I am sure but I can get 18 30w ones for the price of one P3 on sale.

I was one of the suckers that paid $20 bucks for the blue L.E.D. I still enjoy my P2.5 mini, I got the extended battery, love my tear drop engravings on the mod, why I preferred it over the regular one.

 

[J.d. Roberts]

Maybe I have just been lucky but I have been vaping for almost 5 years and I haven't had a single indecent of battery sticking, auto firing and no injuries so far. I think something like that is very very rare 'specially if one takes care of their devices. We must each decide what works best for us and fits our budgets.

5 years vaping, never had a vent, battery pop, or chip fried either, even when I experimented with a sub-ohm phase when 22mm tube mech's were so popular. I take care of my devices, I think doing that will extend the life and keep you safe.

LOL

I felt like a schlep even considering paying $20.00 EXTRA for a part I could get anywhere on the webs for under $5 for any color.

Had my hand on the trigger for probably over a week.

But in the end nothing was going to stop me from getting that blue L.E.D..

I'm just glad I showed enough restraint to not blow up Provapes inbox with hate mail over the ridiculous premium.

Which was extremely minor considering what they think of themselves to even charge what they did for the Provari itself.

But I paid it so who was I to judge?

Tapatyped

Huuummm... It does say - "Made in Indonesia from coconuts. (Palm Based)"
Interesting, I may have to try some.

Finding non GMO soy ANYTHING is going to be a chore. According to this Top 20 Foods and Products that have been Genetically Modified "More than 90 percent of soybeans grown in the United States are genetically modified."

According to this Coconut - GMO Database "No commercial utilisation of GM-coconut palms is expected for a long while." However, unfortunately, they are experimenting.

The above is the reason I buy my VG from RTS. It is more expensive than other VG however, if I can "buy" a few more years (or even months) of life by reducing my GMO intake, it's well worth it. IMHO

Shhhhhhhhure you are!

Son of a be@tch, I bought another mod today...

Can I have myself banned/blocked from Fasttech? Kind like them hardcore gamblers banning themselves at casinos....

I really like the purple one.............well maybe when my points mature............????
