I suspect the VTC minis are gone. It's one of the mods I stockpiled, second tier. After shopping the new stuff I think I might want some more mini's. The rda I stocked, still my favorite, appears to be entirely gone from the market.
I posted a link to a working site that has them in my edit

If it is https://www.vapeyaya.com/index.php?_route_=joyetech-evic-vtc-mini-75w-mod has it. I have only ordered from there once. It is a chinese site and super slow even for a chinese site but I did get my item. Pretty much no communication though.


That's good to hear. I only ever heard about one person who bought from there and they complained they "took my money, don't buy there again".

they have a few things I want but always steered clear from them. Now I may have to make a purchase some day.

I think I had one of the mod back in the day. Never did figure out TC on it and the door magnets kept falling out. I had to super glue them in place. Many folks did love them though. I was just happier with my KBox minis at that point and since TC wasn't my thing stayed with them.
I have silicone sleeves for everything. That solved the battery door issue with the vtc mini. Mods keep getting bigger. I'm not a fan of that.

Neither am I with my tiny hands and arthritis. I keep hoping my 2 Aliens will die soon. SO heavy.

Was it a known issue or just me having the magnet problem?

That's one of the many reasons I love Picos. Even the 21700 is quite small. Hell, even the 26650 Pico mega is rather small for a 26650 mod.

I bought 3 Kangside 25W Vamo Boxes (18350 mod) a few years ago, but it turns out the chip in them is utter shyte. they work for maybe a month then become unusable. All 3 wrecked. Very small though. Too bad because it's built very well.

I recently told my UPS guy I’d been tracking him all day, and he looked shocked lol. Noooo idea. Love being able to see where he is if I need to go run an errand while I’m waiting impatiently


YEA - The same thing happen when I meet the UPS Delivery guy at my door and asked him what took him so long to get here . And then I quickly explained, I could see him via the website when he pulled into the apartment complex. . . ;) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not yet. That's why FT doesn't have a code for it yet. They've been stingy on coupon codes this year. Both NY and Xmas were one day only lol
Not sure about the NY one but the Xmas one was more than one day... it was at least 2 days, maybe 3. I know because I was in a panic Xmas Eve to get a big order completed in time to get the discount and did not realize that honey changed the quantities of 2 of my items.... The next day (Xmas) I noticed that the quantities were out of whack and had to cancel those 2 items and re-order and the discount code was still running.

Both were advertised as one-day only and I only purchased on those days, so that's all I can go by.

Here's the xmas promo thread...

The coupon code(s) may have been activated days earlier than they were supposed to be but only those who tried it would know. They do activate before USA times zones, of course.

BTW: FT has an announcement of when they'll be off for CNY - 20th - 31st.

There was an initial ad for Xmas Eve "only", then they put up the Xmas one the next day. I ordered on both days... On Xmas eve I was scrambling in a panic in the afternoon to get my order in so I could take advantage of the "one day only sale" before I left for a party and the site was bogged down... had to keep refreshing pages and it took me like an hour just to fill my cart place an order. Then Xmas day I realized I over ordered 2 items big time, so I cancelled those 2 items from the order and placed a new order for them.

You can see my post about it here: Are you done stocking up? If you look at the other posts from Xmas Eve in the morning/afternoon you will see that everyone was having trouble trying to access the site as it was probably bogged down from everyone trying to take advantage of the Xmas Eve sale.

EDIT: Also an FYI for everyone else: In that post I was questioning why I was charged shipping and there was no option for free shipping (I did not have any batteries in the order). They answered my trouble ticket and apparently some items (other than batteries) do have shipping... I just never ran into that before and I have placed a crap load of order with them.

The evic mini was my primary tier stock up mod back in round one (2015-16) The first one is still my daily driver after 4+ years. Looks like junkyard material, but still working like new. Have 9 more in the stash. Single 18650 just works well for me, so that's what I concentrated on.

Second tier for me is the 75w Pico. Our mod tiers are similar, just reversed.:)

I may get a different pod for my trip next year. I like Moti for how it vapes but those pods are leaking, I don't trust them on a trip. So back to the drawing board LOL! Thankfully lots of pods on sale at the moment. The Gala does not leak but the draw on it takes too much effort for me, so not my fav. Wish it had a button activation because it is a nice pod.

You should give the Vladdin RE a try. I've been using mine since April, and it's the best pod I've ever used. I've never gone thru more than a few pods before I moved on to the next model, but I'm about to order another unit, and a load more replacement pods. As good a hit as you'll find with this form factor. And I do NET, and get an amazing 4-5 fills per pod. Never got a dud pod. Never leaked. Easy to fill. Checks all my boxes, except I wish more shops carried them. Oh, and they have a new battery unit that uses the same pod- I forget the name, but rather than long and thin, it's shorter, and more square.

I'll check it out, thanks! The no leaking is a big thing for me, every pod I have leaks except Gala, a big turn off LOL

I don't have any experience with pods but have seen a few vids on leaking pods of different brands/models. One thing I noticed is the same on the leakers is that they're side fill. I wonder if a top-fill pod would mean no leaking? This would mean putting the full port underneath a removable mouthpiece.

But this is just an assumption. I assume they leak out the fill port because no one seems to think it's important to mention in their vids exactly where it's leaking from :confused:

Minifit? I throw these in my pockets all the time, have never had a leak. Only 2 ml capacity though.
