Are you done stocking up?

[LoriP1702]

I got one a while back from Provape for around $12, but since it isn't attached I kept forgetting and dropping it on the floor when I took a tank off. Now it's sitting in the can with other accessories. I would like a black one like PV has in stock now, but at $17 for a little more money I could get another 2.5. Doesn't make much sense.

Crème De Vape has their own version which is slightly tapered to mate up with a Kayfun tank. I'm trying to figure out if I can order them from America and ship to someone in the UK. Then I could pick them up when I go over there for a visit. Otherwise the shipping would cost way more than the rings.

Seems like an unnecessary luxury either way. vaping gear is a gadget not a fashion accessory. To me anyway.

I just ordered some parts from Creme de Vape, my order is in Chicago in customs...still.
But shipping was only $10.95. Royal (Air) Mail, Signature Required, Insured up to $250.00
So, I really didn't think that was too bad.
I figured that shipping from anywhere in the US would be $6.00 minimum anyway, so I decided to go ahead and place the order.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it to let you know. I thought it would be a lot more than that.
But of course, you be the judge if it's worth it to you.

I'm not thrilled to have paid right at $11.00 for shipping, but I'm down to only needing odds and ends, here and there, so I'd have most likely had to pay shipping if I had ordered from here in the US anyway.

Also, I only ordered some parts. No nic liquid, or anything that wasn't available prior to 8/08/16.

I'll check that out again. Maybe I picked up the wrong impression on the shipping cost. And I could order a few odds and ends. Shipping tends not to go up too much when you order more items.

I just noticed you're in IN. I'm in IL, so location should be similar if that even plays into it.
I wanted the KFL+ fill tool, they had it, I also threw in a couple other things I'd have ordered (from here) anyway...so, at least I didn't pay double shipping since I just combined my order.
I can't imagine it will come with any postage due, or customs fees, but so far, yeah...just the 10.95.
I ordered the steel tank for my KFM3, and a set of parts/o-rings for my KF5...that was the extent of my whopping order.
The fill tool is on sale and was only a couple dollars more than FT.

I do miss the buying frenzy in a way, even tho I was so burned out by it LOL! But is weird to look at my stash and realize I have the best that is out there for my MTL style of vaping and there will not be anything new for me for ever of vaping. That seems so bizarre.

I'm relieved, I've got enough stashed that I probably could open up a Vape Shop.

So I'm still picking up gear, but I'm way more selective and just pick up gear that really peeks my interest. I'm in the process of closing a deal with a Kennedy Roundhouse and Goon. All copper and the guy sanded down the Goon and and polished it up, stunningly beautiful.

But generic stuff, nah I'm done.

So how is everyone that's done stocking up doing with being done? Are you still looking at the sales just for fun or totally ignoring them?

I admit, I still look once in a while, but not as often as before. The only thing that's really interested me has been a Supreme RDTA on a good sale last week but it wasn't hard to convince myself I really didn't need another one. I've seen a few small items at really cheap prices but paying for shipping totally wiped out the great price so they've been easy to avoid buying.

Every time I resist it gets me closer to buying my one last present to myself that I totally don't need but would really like. One more Reo just because I love them so much I even double checked my supply of spare Reo parts today just to see if there was anything else I needed to order so I could take advantage of shipping at the same time when I finally give in and order another Reo. My list is ready.

I must be done I did look one more time when provape had their last sale but still not tempted. I get a lot of emails about sales from various vendors but mostly just delete them now. I am perfectly content with what I have stocked up on and am still happy with the toppers I have been using for the past couple of years so no need to try anything else. I may need to see about getting a few more coils for my gs-airs but that is just about it. Kinda sad really

I am in the same boat. Enough stuff to last me indefinately.

I went heavy on authentic mechs (and tons of clones) and enough Provaris to last me decades. Beyond the odd bell cap or o-ring, I am done.

I do have my eye on a Kennedy Roundhouse as well, but I may defer that to my wife and kids for a Christmas present as I really don't NEED another expensive mod and can't justify buying one right now.

It was fun, but I have everything I could possibly need. I have no interest in new regulated mods as I love my mechs for subohming and Provaris for my 12-13w 1.2-1.8ohm vaping.

I have kinda gone back into stocking mode due to the cig tax that the state of Calif. is trying to get passed. Got all the mods I need,but the wife could use a few more. Getting more parts for my favorite rta's, ect., ect.

It is strange how it does feel kind of sad to not be looking anymore.

On a bright note, the oral arguments in the court case were heard by Judge Berman Jackson yesterday. So things are moving along and we can still hope she'll rule in our favor.

 

[oplholik]

Don't worry about that @Two_Bears, I'll be awash in kfl parts. I have some coming from FT, and will be ordering a few more parts later.

 

[SKYYcamel]

Can someone help me with a FT list of parts for my KFMV3's? I'm having a hard time locating things.

 

[grandmato5]

Is there anything specific that any of you that are done buying would still pick up IF you could find it at a REALLY CHEAP price? I'd be more than happy and I'm sure others would too to keep an eye out for specific things and if we should see it anywhere let ya know

My example would be: I hadn't planned on buying more factory coils for my Melo tanks but when someone posted in this thread a few weeks ago the coils that would work for only .99/5 pack less discount I was thrilled to be able to get 200 coils for less then $40

So what's on your "only if its REALLY cheap" list ?

 

[Bonskibon]

I'm still buying stock coils and ejuice that I'm not ready to stop buying yet. I will still pick up mods and tanks if good prices otherwise.... done. I have a feeling that once I hear rumors of taxes or whatnot that that stockpile mode will strike me again for another go.

I would love to find gs-air coils @ 1.2 or 1.5Ω for a price like your melo coils. I would be all over those

I still have a hard time figuring out FT's ordering & shipping. It's like it's a crap shoot if the items really ARE in stock and will ship the next day...or not...even if it states they WILL!

Ordered 4 different items in different quantities, (total of 12 things), on Monday Oct. 3rd. That was after playing around and changing sizes, colors, etc. many times, until all items were definitely shown as being "In Stock" and would ship the next day.

Friday, Oct. 7th (4 business days later) - Got email stating that 2 of the items (total quantity of 4) shipped that morning.

Saturday, Oct. 8th (5 days since ordering) - Got email stating that my last 2 items will be shipped separately. One item (quantity of 2) will be shipped within 12 hours. Final item (quantity of 6) will be shipped within several days.

Monday, Oct. 10th (5th business day after ordering) - Get email stating that the item that was supposed to have been shipped within 12 hours on the 8th...was finally shipped.

Today, Oct. 12th (7th business day since ordering) - Get email at 11:34AM stating that the final item (quantity of 6) was shipped!

So, it took a total of 9 days for them to actually ship the items they stated were in stock when I ordered them, and would ship the next day! Geez!!

Might be a good idea if someone does find what another member specifically posted about definitely wanting...if they'd PM that member...rather than posting it openly first. They'd stand a better chance of actually getting the items.

I order stuff from FT,, and my husband orders hardware from various other Chinese companies,, and you see it amazon sometimes......the website you are visiting and ordering may sometimes be a minor companies storefront who agreed to ship you those items per their relationship set up with 'ft'.........so yes,, you can have several shipments from actually several different places.

I always order like you do...actually on FT's website. All shipments I receive from them come with a different guy's name on the return address (Mr. Diao, Mr. Li, etc.)...but ALL from the same address in China:

#208 No. 5 Second Street Fuqian
