I’m having the hardest time with orders tonight. Elementvape.com has started their BF sales. My cart has been ready for over a week. I meticulously added my rewards and code, clicked order, and the coupon magically didn’t apply. Grrrrr. I’ve sent two emails and I’m POd at the moment. They better make this right. I was sitting there looking at the proper total, even wrote it down in my order summary sheet, clicked order and BAM it didn’t apply. :-x

Same thing just happened to me, there order system is really screwed up! If they don't make it right, will returning the order (let them eat the fees) and putting them on my never order from again list :mad:

Just read several articles of the luxotic auto firing. o_O It's a known issue it seems. Something to do with juice leaking down. Be careful folks!
This was supposedly fixed in the second version. Which is which, hard to be sure. I've assumed the later version had the silicone bottles but that is just a guess. Only Wismec can confirm which version, I think based on serial number. Might be worth a warranty claim.

I'm thinking about cracking one open to see if I can add a little silicone. In the meantime I'm going to consider them cheap single battery mods that will look good with a tank. My squonking mod stockpile is now down to six dammit!

Yeah. I got 5 and then happened to read about the auto fire problem.
I sealed everything up with copious quantities of strategically placed sealant and have run one everday since, about 6months now. I havnt had any problem but I never leave a battery in it (or any mods) over night or when I go out.

Many websites won't allow customers to use their Rewards points and a discount code for the same order. It's a use "1 or the other" thing, though they don't make that known until you ask why it didn't work. I've had the same frustration you have in dealing with it before.

HeavenGifts is one such vendor - put everything in the chart added Discount coupon, went to and "spent" non-refundable" Points (200) for free shipping coupon when spending over $100 - Found out to late that Ya' cannot use points/coupon when using discount codes . . . And - They refuse to "Refund" points into account, resulting if I want to use the free shipping coupon before it expires I will have to purchase another $100 of goods at regular price . . . :censored:

NOT HAPPENING ! ! ! :-x

Probably the last time I shop at HeavenGifts no matter what the sale is . . . Just Sayin' . . . :censored: :-x


Worse is finding out that they supposedly have a pre-order status on some items I've already purchased (wasn't listed as such when I ordered), as a result they will not have one of them until Nov 30 and the other they don't know when they will get it in. Given this - they say I have a choice to either wait for everything to come in and they will ship it then . . . Or I can have them ship what is ready and Hold and then put the other items in my next order . . . :shock: What NEXT Order . . . :grr: NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER ! ! ! NEVER AGAIN ! ! ! :-x

Oh no! But I'm glad I'm not alone in some weird selfish way. :lol: Hopefully, they'll do something about it and make it right. Ever since they moved, their website is just not the same. Their order page is different. And it's much slower than it used to be. I still haven't heard anything from them.

My purple innokin coolfire iv has already shipped! :thumbs:

No batteries will ever be left in my mods ever again! I just don't think I'll be using mine. If I have to make modifications, it's not for me. I regret all my mech purchases (although I realize the luxotic is not fully mech...and thank goodness for the luxotic's 10 second shut off!). Luckily, I bought very few mechs. Last resort for me.

I think I've got an idea for a new DIY recipe! I'm thinking apple cider, whipped cream, vanilla bean ice cream, cinnamon sugar cookie and a splash of rum. Will try it next mixing session, I have all those flavors.
That sounds yummy!

A true mech squonker is honestly pretty safe from an auto fire standpoint. It fires based on a piece of bent plate metal (copper or silver) making contact with the 510 connector. That plate is naturally springy, trying to go back into the open state. Eliquid leaks don't bother them at all.

I had a lost vape therion dna75 bf with auto fire issues. That was a pita - when I researched it further I found out that multiple lv mods shared a button design that made them susceptible to auto fire conditions.

Everzon is doing a 1 cent Aegis squonk starter kit doorbuster Friday at 9am Eastern

What did you use for sealant?

In case one of mine is a dud that leaking causes that issue, I am thinking about opening up the electronics box part of the mod and just filling it with a glue gun stick to prevent any issues.

My son just called to ask why is my mod making a noise and making vapor. WHAT?!?! It was the Luxotic on the kitchen counter. And I'm at work. He couldn't get the back panel off. Not sure if he knows what he's doing or if it somehow melted together (?). I told him to throw it in the backyard as far away from the house as he could. Dang! That has never happened to me before. Scary!
I've never had that happen before. Thanks for the heads up.

Have any of you sent your DL info?

Yep, I've sent both a picture of just my license, and then another vendor wanted a selfie of me holding my license next to my face. On each of them, I just used my photo editing program to black out anything/everything they didn't need to know. Just left my photo, my name, and birthdate showing on each of them.

So elementvape.com refunded me the $35 coupon code monies. They also sent an email asking for a driver's license picture due to new FDA requirements. I'm tempted to not do it and get a full refund. Have any of you sent your DL info?
I think I sent mine to Heartland but Im not sure. I did someone. It was fine.
