Are you done stocking up?

I bought some 316 3mm .5 ohm coils from FT that came in 100 pack. They work fine.

I agree with you! I've been using their SS316L pre-wound 1.3ohm and 1.5ohm for a few years. Since June 2016 I've usually added a pack in with each order I've placed for other "stuff". I can make my own, but I figured why...when their prices for the packs of 100 are dirt cheap. Have several others hooked on them now, too.

    Sorry to hear that guys. I've made damn near 3 orders a week there for the past 3 weeks and all have moved relatively quickly, even my 01/01 order got shipped.

    Just made a couple more vape purchases, I feel sick spending more money at this point but I keep thinking of things I want or need. Got the Tarot Baby in Red, another Breeze 2 in camo, and some various coils mostly for my pods. Realizing how low stocked on pod coils I am and I'm going to need those as there's no rebuild option.

    Yea I’m surprised in the difference of experience with eightvape. I placed an order on the 24th another on the 25th and one final one on the 26th. I received all three on the 30th, Vegas to Chicago. I think whatever you ordered may have ran out of stock before they got to yours. I’ve heard complaints in the past regarding their shipping speed but have placed between 5-10 orders a year for the last several years without issue. They once sent me the wrong product and after a quick response to my email said to take a picture and send it to them. I did as requested and they immediately shipped the right product saying I could keep the mistake.

    Have you thought about how long you might be able to use them, before their little internal batteries die? That's what made me decide I already had enough with what I've got.

    I don't think that's what happened, at least with my orders. In fact, they emailed me about 1 order that had 3 of a particular item in it...that was out of stock by the time they were pulling the order. They asked if I wanted to wait for them to restock it or just ship without it and refund me for the items. I chose the refund and they shipped the order that afternoon.

    However, based on which orders I've placed that have come quickly, and which have been really slow to ship...it makes me wonder if they're filling orders that contain fewer items first, instead of according to order date. Maybe they're trying to get as many packages out as quickly as possible, and since a smaller order takes less "picking time"...it's possible, IMO. IDK, but my orders that have contained 100+ boxes of various coils and other items, too,...have taken the longest to ship. Those with 10 items or less have shipped before them...date ordered didn't matter.

    I've been stocking up on Aegis mods for the simple fact that they're shock, water, and dust proof. I figure if I'm not going to go full on mech, at least a replaceable battery mod built to stand up to most anything is probably the best way to go for me.

    Yeah 3-4 years tops. I have 3 pod mods, about 40 coils and a liter of nic salt after these last orders. That's about all I'm willing to dump into pods. It'll be a luxury while I do have it going.

    Did you get in on the Buy 1 Get 1 for 50% off Sale that Ejuices.com and Eliquid.com recently had? It was good on any items sitewide. I already had a gracious plenty of both the Aegis Mini's and the Solo's, but when that sale popped up, and then they even extended it for another day or 2...I ordered several of the full kits of both of those.

    No, I didn't even see that sale. I've been ordering mostly from FT and 3F. Fairly affordable there, at least from what I've seen. I love the Aegis minis, they're my current daily use, but I've been hesitant to stock up on those because of the internal battery. Once that's done, the whole thing is done, and that worries me. The Solo has been what I've been stocking up on.

    Oh shoot...I posted about it in this thread at least a few times. It just ended at midnight Friday night! With their prices for the Mods only...and their Free S/H on everything...the cost for the Minis came out to $29.06 each and the Solos were $27.74 each. I got the Kits of each, with the Cerberus tanks for $35 + change and $36 and change.

    Today, I pulled out a box of old hardware I haven't used in years and pieced together ten functioning PVs from it. And I'm not finished yet! Thinking about doing a YouTube video to acknowledge my decade of vaping, anniversary coming up in less than two weeks.
    So far, I've assembled & kick-started:
    1x Provape-1, version 2, released 9/20/2010 (mechanical only, no regulation)

    1x Joye Ego with Tornado dripping atty (2010) [Seriously, found a working battery]
    1x VAMO V1 (?)
    1x VAMO V3 (?)
    1x Joye eVic
    1x Joye eVic Supreme (2014)
    1x VV tube mod I can't remember the name of (circa 2012)
    1x Itaste SVD2.0 (got another new unopened box)
    1x Provape ProVari 2.5 (got two)
    Working on:
    1x Screwdriver - Unfortunately, I bought the 901 version.
    images-1.jpg

    1x SuperTManufacturing Precise Plus 18650

    1x ?? Heavy duty mech tube mod (weighs 112g w/o battery or tank), has no venting but very nice chrome fire button. This could be a pipe bomb, I may be afraid to try it. Might've been called The Club?
    1x Z-Atty Pro (rebuildable specifically for the ProVari 2.5) The only rebuildable I've ever bought.

    Likely to show in any possible video, stockpiled:
    Digiflavor Helix (x6),
    Aspire Nautilus (x6) &
    Nautilus 2S (x4),
    130-or-so atties for the Nautili,
    Vaporesso Revenger X (x4).
    Gallon of PG,
    2x Liter 100mg liquid,
    mixing paraphernalia.

    Not shown because I no longer possess: Carlos Juicebox, Digital Ciggz Eclipse EQ, and Janty Kissbox...
    as well as TONS of other stuff which has fallen by the wayside, some broken or worn out. But, mostly worthless junk bought in the desperate desire to avoid returning to cigarettes back in 2010 & 2011. I was frantically throwing money at the fear, which turned out to be unfounded. In those two years I spent enough on vaping to have paid for a decent used car. When I bought my first ProVari 2.5, I loaded up on every available accessory (passthroughs, lanyards, desk stands, spare parts and so on), my checkout total for that mod with its do-dads was about $1,000.

    I'm still digging in the retired devices box and may be able to resurrect a few more. :)

    Done stacking? I thought I was, haven't really bought much of anything for a few years until recently. I can't afford to be bitten by the shiny bug again. I DO want a stack that'll last many years though.

    Wow, that is a great deal! I guess the real lesson here is that I need to start following this thread more religiously so I don't get left out in the cold again...

    Nope I got an order from them with 202 boxes of coils ordered on Xmas within 5-6 days.

    Both of those websites (owned by the same company), have been having some really great sales since August. Besides watching this thread for posts about deals...you may want to go to each of them and sign up for their email newsletters. That way, even if you don't catch news of it on this thread...you'll have the emails in your inbox.

    Well, based on the 8 orders I've placed with them in just the last 2 1/2 weeks...I definitely think they're doing what I think they are, with some of them. My order dates, quantity of items, and shipment dates just don't "jive" like they should otherwise.

    Congrats, we have almost the same quit date.

    Re the 901, do you have a 901 to 510 adapter?

    What is 901?
    Believe it or not, we had 4 atty connection options in 2010. 901 wasn't quite as popular as 808's and 801's and none were as popular as 510's so they slowly died away. they made/make adapters so you can use different ones so a 510 atty could be used on a 901 connection.

    i remember owning an Indulgence mod that came with all 4 adapters.
