Don't even get me started on funny looks at Sally's haha.I am a guy with a beard,long hair,and tattoo's.The looks i got as soon as i walked through the door were priceless.The customers didn't know what to think,and i'm fairly certain the cashier probably thought i was going to rob her,i seen her scoot closer to the phone when i walked in haha.
imagine if you had decided tampons instead...........ROFLMAO :cool:

Glad everyone is getting close. I did not buy anything today but did get 4 used Provari today in the mail just as a buffer and if someone gets in a pinch I have extra 2.5's. I got my flavor order too. I checked all my overseas packages and they all have potential of being here 8-4 if on time, we shall see......

    Now, that's a thought worth considering! Yeah, that's the ticket.

    Is a Seal-a-Meal type vacuum sealer good enough for 1L nic bottles?
    You don't want a seal a meal. You want a real food saver. The food saver is tge only Sealer i know of that WILL PULL enough vacuum to crush soda cans.

    I have gone over everything in my mind and the only real concern for me is not being able to get coils for the kabuki/nautilus. That and like others said, just the fact that I can't order when/what I want.
    Save your coil heads. You can rebuild both the BDC and BVC coil heads for the Nautilus.

    I read this thread every day and have been behaving myself until today LOL ( I cant harass
    bnrkwest if I am buying too after all). My one and only Pico is held up at US customs and today I freaked out and placed an order for another one from inside the US. I'd rather end up with two than take the risk of not having none. I know I am over reacting, but I don't care.
    The other day I sewed my finger to the deck screw of a white Kayfun that I built specifically for the new white Pico. That kind of sacrifice means that I deserve to have one ! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    Were you notified about customs? What was said? Please share if you can. I have two Picos in transit from China (2 diff vendors) and hoping they make it. Dang the FDA.

    Thank you so much for the info. Good thing I haven't thrown any away except a couple that were DOA and I didn't know I could rebuild them.

    Is it hard to do or is there a vid that you know of? I have never taken one apart so maybe it is a simple thing that even I can figure out. :D

    Good for you! You can't go wrong with 2 anyway. Well I sort of freaked on one item I really wanted, the Sophia I got off Ebay is coming from Russia and I have no idea if it is authentic or a clone or V1 or V2 so...... I went to By Leo and bought the Sophia V2 and got it express shipped, got here in 3 days from Greece :) LOL It was definately a panic buy, I just wanted it for my stash!

    Type rebuild Nautilus coils. The two i saw was posted by Rip Trippers.

    Not as easy as rebuilding the Kanger OCC heads but not impossible either.

    No they didn't notify me. This is what I see, I thought that Origin Post is Preparing Shipment meant it was still in China but after Googling it my understanding is that this means that it has reached US customs. I don't know that for sure ..... but that seems to be where it is. Once US customs has passed it to USPS supposedly the status will change.
    I placed the order on July 17th and this just feels like it's taking forever.

    Thanks, I didn't know that is what that meant. Seems like a long time unless it is GB, then usual time for them. I think you are ok.

    ETA, if this was the SS one, I believe it was back ordered so wouldn't have shipped right away. Fozzy knows more about that issue.

    Oh that's a totally normal time frame for a Fasttech order, nothing unusual at all! It does take a long time to get orders from China. Trade off for the cheap prices and free shipping.

    The white pico was on sale at FT. I ordered my Brushed Silver and Blackout from GB and got those already. My FT order crossing the ocean has a white pico in the order. I went over the $100 threshold not knowing better so I am crossing my fingers I get my pico, nemesis's and parts.

    I too am looking at the same type usps msg as yours. Almost identical except the times differ by a couple of hours.
    The next stop should be somewhere in the US. If you are close to Chicago then that where it will show. If you are close to Miami, etc. That's where mine will show up.
    Nerve wracking for sure as the deadline is growing short.
    Not sure why mine pass through Facility twice??

    Yeah it's FT. I've ordered from them before but I wasn't excited to get anything in the previous orders so I wasn't checking it every day. This is definitely a watched pot scenario :shock:
