Just a FYI/WARNING to everyone

Bank just stopped 2 fraudulent transactions on my card and I am hearing rumors of a breach at Nicotine River. Weather mine came from there or from the big data break a few months ago I do not know.

Watch your transaction histories folks. Sometimes it can be MONTHS before someone tries to use your stolen info.
Already been through that and got the replacement card.

    I kept a spreadsheet so I could figure out how much money I saved by vaping and not smoking. Robino and I loved our spreadsheets. I eventually quit the spreadsheet after probably a year or two. And I didn’t really save that much in the beginning. :laugh:

    I used to have my spreadsheet going too. Haven't updated it in about three years. I think it's on a hard drive at my house I should try and dig it out tonight and get it updated. Would definitely be curious to know if at right now I'm still ahead in $$$ compared to smoking even after this huge stock up. My guesstimate says that I'm still pretty far ahead. I have A LOT of purchases to put in there lol.

    My first setup was an "Encore" kit, cheap carts with cheap juice from China that tasted rather chemically. Can't knock it too hard though, it started this whole vaping journey for both myself and my father. Moved onto a Blu and that worked really well for a while but I wanted to save some money so I got juice from Johnson Creek and some cig a likes and cartos. Next step was an ego with a clearomizer, then a vamo with a pro tank, and the rest is history.

    Finally got my shipping notice from ejuicesteals yesterday (6 days later)... No mention of whether or not everything shipped... I am crossing my fingers I get everything.
    Got my ejuicesteals shipment... a big box, the mail dude had to carry it to the door as it would not fit in the mailbox, and it was a bit on the heavy side. lol Anywhoo... everything was in there!! I was kind of surprised, because mine was one of the last ones shipped (based on the comments everyone made), I was expecting some of the items to be out of stock (because they had sold out of most of what I bought right after I checked out). I am a very happy camper!

    One thing I missed out on was they had ohmie coils. By the time I noticed they had them, they were all sold out... Not sure how much they went for but based on their other prices I am betting 99 cents or half that.

    I was trying to clean up some emails at work. I have almost 8,000 in my inbox. :blink:

    I always had thousands of emails in my Inbox...until I started using the web version of Outlook...(outlook .live .com)...

    There I click on an individual email...Sweep => "Always keep the latest and move the rest to Deleted" (or any other folder I chose)...or...Sweep => "Always move messages older than 10 days to Deleted" (or any other folder I chose)...

    It quickly removes 100's of old/outdated emails in one swoop...:thumbs:

    I loved those eGo cases, still have them :)

    I bought over 30 pink ones when they were on sale and I had this crazy thought to put tanks in them. Then I thought better of it and just used the box it came in! Now I’m stuck with way too many ego cases! I like the idea of using a couple of them for tools but other than that, they are sitting collecting dust. I guess I should just pif them.

    Surely you can use them for other things? They're handy, not just for vape.

    Are there any other uses can you think of? I thought of using them for small screwdrivers or reading glasses, but I can’t think of anything else

    Anything that'll fit. Anything. Q-tips, whatever. You don't have to use the pockets or the straps. It's just a case.

    I know it's only one use for them but I use them when I fly. If you don't know the cabin pressure can flood out a whole tank and have what was a perfectly good working tank a flooding mess. Before we take off I take all of my tanks off the mods and turn them upside down in that Ego case, then stick it in the seat back pocket so they'll stay vertical and upside down.

    Vapes perfectly when I land, no flooding. In my house I just use it to hold the tanks that are in the rotation but not in use.

    That probably wouldn't work for someone who wants to save things like receipts or other important documentation & valuable information.

    You setup a different folder or two for those important emails and change the rules on those folders so that they are never purged.

    Replacement glass storage (many sizes will fit, even boxed)
    To store various RBA decks/heads/coils (labeled)
    For spare parts baggies for tanks & RBAs (labeled)

    Other:
    Hobby tools case (for me, it's jewelry making tools)
    Travel case for medications

    I know this isn't going to be popular with a lot of people as the USPS seems to largely have a bad reputation in the USA in general.

    But I have to make a shout-out to my local USPS. They are very good at helping me when I have a problem with a package (sending or receiving).

    My latest problem was with a FT order. After tracking showed it reached US customs, it went to a "metro" distribution center. Then it showed "moving through the USPS network and on it's way to it's destination". Was like that for 12 days. The tracking was also doing weird things like showing expected delivery dates that kept on dropping or changing. Usually, after tracking shows it reached US Customs, it's delivered to me in about 4-7 days.

    So I put in a request through USPS.com, asking where the package is.

    The same day, I got a call from someone at my local PO about it. They weren't much help because they still hadn't investigated, just wanted to tell me they are working on it.

    2 days later I got another call from the same guy, still not much help but was calling to say they are still working on it and gave me some tracking information (yes, they have tracking data that doesn't always show on the consumer end). Made me feel like things were getting done.

    The next day (yesterday), got a call from a supervisor telling me that he reached out to the PO where it was last scanned (not showing on the tracking on my end) and are waiting to hear back. But also told me that he hopes it's not a case where the label was destroyed (insinuating that there would be little to nothing they could do). Fingers-crossed.

    Today, I looked at the tracking and lo and behold the package is now found/unstuck and reached my regional DC, about 5 miles from my local PO! No expected delivery date showing, but I expect it will be delivered tomorrow. It was scanned at the DC at 7am this morning, which I suppose was too late to get on a truck. No biggie. Not worried unless it's not delivered tomorrow. My only worry is that the package is all mangled up with missing items, but I'll just have to wait and see.

    This isn't the first time my local PO has helped me out with sending or receiving issues. It really comes down to your local PO. I happen to have a very good one (for the most part).

    Received today and in good shape. :banana: Shipping label wasn't damaged, it just got lost or stuck or whatever somewhere some how...but my local PO found it and delivered it!

    BTW: First time I ever got a package from FT that was shipped in a yellow paper bubble mailer. It's always a white poly bubble mailer.
