Somewhere out there
It was me who posted about their Boge cartos and drip tips, etc. back on July 12th or 13th. I'd just found and bought a bunch, after talking to the owner and finding out that she was closing up shop soon because of FDA garbage. I got 17 boxes of the cartos from her and some drip tips.

By the way, the Boge cartos measure differently than Smok brand do, if anyone's interested. Boge regular ones are the 25mm, the XL are 40mm, and the XXL or 45mm...measuring from the open end of the carto down to the end of the tube part...not counting the 510 nub at the bottom. The Smok brand...their XL measure 45mm, not their XXL.

Also found out since AlvineCigs Boge cartos didn't have a flange, I wanted to find a tank that could be used that would help stop the carto from pushing up or down, and stop it from spinning around inside the tank. Found the nifty UD Youde AGR Cartomzer Tank at 2vaped (another PA vendor to support), made especially for Boge cartos without a flange. They were $9.95/tank + $2.64 for shipping 2 of them. Each one came with 2 tanks...1 for the 25mm cartos and 1 for the 45mm cartos. They will not work though with the cartos that are wrapped in black 'cause they're a tiny bit too big to go into the tank diameter-wise.

Then found the deal at DFW for the SS Smok cartos in 1.5, 2.0, or 3.0ohms, that were 45mm long with a flange. Already had 1 tank for them, but DFW also had the U-DCT tanks for $1.00 that worked with the flanged cartos. (Have the little ring at the bottom that caught on the flange...to keep them from spinning and from moving in or out of the tank). I think they still have some of those tanks!
Any shops you know that are closing we are keeping track here: Vape Shop Closings Just type in the info.

This was my thoughts as well; with all the available juice I had, the threat wasn't as close as it is now. Also, in my mind, I looked at DIY as a complicated daunting affair; no different than how I viewed coil building- until I started coil building. ;)
Ones' imagination can be ones' worst enemy.

Scale ordered this afternoon, already shipped & will be here tomorrow.
Nic ordered....don't know when it'll be here,
Bunch of TFA flavors ordered from OneStop....they should be here tomorrow as well.
500" Wire ordered & rec'd today.
Ordered a few Serpent Mini tanks- I like that low low profile!

I pretty much done. .........all except for the freezer.
Decided if I'm gonna buy one may as well use it for actual food as well. :banana:

Does your scale do 0.01g increments? That is what you need for DIY mixing by weight. I have to order one myself. This is the one I am getting.

Edit - just ordered it and signed up for prime membership to check out their tv/movie offerings.

Yes. It took like $3 or $4 off the $20+ shipping option At first I didn't see it cause I was looking at my total but when I went to the shipping options it was deducted from that side of the screen. IIRC it bought shipping down to $19.75 or something like that.

Your basket is not eligible for the specified coupon.

That is all excellent info!!
GREAT deal on those tanks and cartos as well!!

I started with an IBTanked that someone had PIF'd for me to try. Loved it and bought a few of a couple sizes.

I've used both with and without the flange, for me, the flange was easier. I couldn't always get it stopped in time when inserting, and would end up losing liquid. :facepalm:
I eventually figured out a work around for that, when using non flanged, but it sure took me long enough...:laugh:
Once I got the carto started, I'd go ahead and put it on a device, that way it would stop exactly where it needed to be.

This was my thoughts as well; with all the available juice I had, the threat wasn't as close as it is now. Also, in my mind, I looked at DIY as a complicated daunting affair; no different than how I viewed coil building- until I started coil building. ;)

Yes, the one I ordered has been the one that comes up in all my DIY researching.
I started to get this one you ordered but something said check out what's highly recommended. There's another that looks just like the one you ordered but it comes with an AC cord.
One of the things I learned is you dont want a scale that automatically turns off- especially when you're in the middle of mixing & end up having to toss out everything you did & start over.

American Weigh Scales LB-1000 Compact Digital Scale with Removable Bowl, 1000 by 0.1 G


It only does 0.1, not 0.01. The one I ordered/linked was recommended in one of the various diy threads, I think the mixing by weight thread.

I feel that too..."what am I forgetting".
But like you, I can't imagine what it is either....

I watched some DIY videos last night with this very scale.
