Now that I've got more then enough factory coils for my Melo 3 tanks to last forever I've realized that I'm just not comfortable only having two Melo 3 tanks so I'm on the look out for another one on a good sale :) Guess I get to go back to stalking the sales to see what I can find :D

    Ii haven't seen them for less than 15.52 at FT so I would probably just get the Pico kit for around 30. I am not a huge fan of the Melo 3, I guess it isn't a lower watt kind of thing.

    vape speakeasy? lol i hope it doesnt come down to that. prohibition does not work. never did, never will. the only problem with a vaping prohibition is many would just go back to cigarettes. i think its sickening but its true. its not alcohol where ALL forms were banned.
    so i really dont know what would happen.

    Yeah, those were my glory days, seems like yesterday, doesn't it?
    Off topic here but…Wow that brings back memories. Peasant dresses, huge bell-bottoms, peace signs…

    In 1967 I was a bonafied hippie, living in a commune in Montreal, participating in peace marches, love-ins and …… "Light my fire" and "white rabbit" are still two of my favorite songs. My kids think it's really funny when this 66 year old (me) turns the volume all the way up and sings these songs whose words i know by heart. :banana:

    and the people working low end burger flipping jobs are demanding $15. give me a break. they dont deserve $15 nor are they worth $15. i would call dairy plants a semi-skilled job. i did not have to go to school. i went to the school of hard knocks. there are good milk receivers and their are bad receivers that dump thousands of pounds on the ground. if you put the wrong milk in the wrong silo you can cost the company allot of money. if you put one load of regular RBST free milk into an organic or kosher silo then you just made that entire silo regular and de-valued that product by almost 1/2. silos can hold up to 1/2 million pounds so you can see how much you can screw up so quickly. start dumping product because you didnt hook it up right and dont catch it, again you can dump allot of product in a short period of time. those pumps flow 2,000+ lbs per minute. i had to take a test to get the license.

    i would consider the work to be semi skilled. you can screw up allot more then just a hamburger. you can cost the company allot more money then someone working at a fast food take or leave it job.
    Just because you dont have a college degree doesnt mean you are semi-skilled. I know lots of college graduates who arent skilled at anything. And every skilled job doesnt require a college education.

    You ARE skilled. Your job description sounds absolutely skilled.

    I still have 3 Leisure suits in my closet from those days with bell bottoms - been told by many to put them on e-bay

    Yep, you should! Those could help pay for a bunch of stocking up supplies!

    Several years ago, I thought about putting a bunch of my low hip-hugger, big bell bottom jeans on there. I have probably 6-7 pair of them, and 3 of those are still brand new with tags. The Japanese teens were buying them for unbelievable prices...like up to $250 per pair!!

    Heck, even some plain old Levi's jeans (with the capital E in the little tiny red Levi's tag on them)...were going for up to $350 then, for well-used ones, not even new!

    thanks for the kind words. allot can happen in a dairy plant if you dont know what you are doing. try unloading a tanker without properly venting. suck. as in sucking in a tanker. it will completely destroy a tanker in the matter of minutes. literally break the tank in 1/2 so trucker cant even move it out of the bay. have i ever done it, NOPE but someone else did where i used to work.

    had a technical question. i have an eleaf 100W mod. the 510 connection came loose and the wire broke. the board is good everything else is good. i want to fix the mod so it can go in my collection as another spare. i need to remove the top cover so i can remove the 510 connection and re-solder it. what size are those tiny, tiny screws. they are torx head but smaller then any of my automotive tools. i am currently not using this device but if i can repair it then it will be another one for the FDA plan. if this comes to reality then we need to start thinking about repairing mods vs. chucking them in the trash. im talking replacing bad 510 connections, replacing switches, ect ect.

    what size is that impossibly small torx

    Thanks for the suggestion. :) When I was looking at them before the cheapest I saw was FT on a 10% off sale. I'd consider the Pico Kit if I saw a great deal, but I'm not really thrilled about getting another Pico. Its not all that comfortable in my hand. I'm not in a hurry so I guess I'll have to see what I can find in the next couple months :)

    LOL, Todays youngsters are comical , Berkeley Calif , (yeah i know) payed people $15.00 hr minimum for a while and realized they couldn't afford it , laid everyone off , no joke .

    They always need to find out that their ideas don't work for themselves though, just like Obamacare which is falling apart at the seams.

    yep just finishing.

    got my kid a Heatvape mod for cheap from efuntop, i was pretty impressed by there service, really fast with tracking, also got him one of those Conqueror rebuildables, dual coil, i wired up and wicked and gave it to the kid, big clouds, but not for me.

    Got three different Kayfun 5's. The one from Doris at Focal rocks, its great, still doesnt beat the vape from my other KAYFUNS tho.I did try new mods, Dopvo mini, i like it, bang for the buck wow. Got the Aster Eleaf, like that too. Bought an Eleaf I stick, I dont like that one as well.
    I gotta enough Kayfun parts, atomizers o rings, (parts center posts, insulators etc) to last me permanent.

    Cripes you only have to rebuild a Kayfun once a year, if you dont juice builds up in the air chamber and they dont vape as well.

    Bought a liter 100mg Nic over the summer from ecigXpress, to add to the arsenal. I'll pick up an extra liter when the FDA starts brandishing swords.


    My only concern with vaping here is the flavorings. Flavorings just dont store long.

    With the FDA ramping up, kind of odd, that there isnt any really big backlash from the vapeworld, no demonstrations, no Washington rally, guess theres no more hippies. Wow, the hippies are gone, today maybe they are wearing suits and working for the FDA?????

    Let me know if you find any Melo III minis. Have been looking for a while now and most places are out of stock or don't carry them:(

    Thanks rose, but I have been staying away from anything overseas. I have a wish list there but can't seem to pull the trigger. I have ordered from them many times, but since hearing about customs problems with FT and GB I have stayed away from them.
