I have one Armour Pro in green, happily ordered a 2nd at that price.

Light weight, 21700, good board, just a pleasure to use.

Everzon kicked out an ad saying they were selling them at $10, I happened to see that email as soon as it arrived - they were already OOS. That's bogus ("well, they would be $10 if we actually had any...")

The two small screwdriver video I posted before might work
Multiple combinations, even a bigger flat with a snug fit and careful work with a punch haven't gotten it to budge. An oil soak and one more go, then it's the Dremel if necessary this weekend. I need to use patience and care.

    Maybe you could use the Dremel with a small wheel and cut a slot in the top so you can turn it with a screwdriver? I've done that with broken screws before.

    3avape has the green vaporesso armour pro for $11 ($17 shipped).

    :shock: Wow! Back before Xmas, I paid $21.30 + shipping (green) and that was a good deal for that mod. $10+ ship is a steal. Never thought that particular mod would go on sale for any less than what I paid.

    Good things come to those who wait, I guess. ;)

    I did some searching for some vape stuff on Amazon. Not much worth reporting,
    but found 2 different IJoy RBAs.

    • 5-pack of EXO-S RBAs ("EXO-S XS-1 Customizable, Reusable Resistance Wire Platform Kit" :laugh:), which works in the Advken Dominator tank which vapesourcing still has.

    • 3-Pack of XL2S RBAs - fits the IJoy EXO-XL tank ($4.00 at Lightfire with coupon code VD20). It's a dual coil RBA though and won't be of any use to those that need the EXO-S RBA for NRG tanks and whatever other thanks the EXO-S RBA fits. Completely different size and form factor.

    Now here's a deal on a mod...

    VapeSourcing has the IJoy Katana 81W mod for $6.90 (use code EDMKBM - code JKTM might work too if that one doesn't)

    Normally I wouldn't even bother to post an integrated battery mod, but hear me out...

    Found a Katana video that showed that this mod has an iJoy 18650 battery soldered in it by just 2 leads and it looks like an easy job to remove it and replace it with another 18650 when it becomes useless, IF you're not opposed to doing simple soldering jobs. You could even replace the 18650 with a Lipo that fits if you know which one to buy.

    So technically it's pretty much vapocalypse-ready for the right person. And for that price, heck, I'm thinking of buying a couple even though I really don't need more mods (you saw that coming, right :D) I like the form factor (that's my justification :p)

    It's a great price if you just want a few integrated battery mods for whatever reason. HOWEVER, since it's not a Lipo battery, it won't last as long on a charge as most other integrated battery mods do. But the price!!!!! :thumb:

    Here's the video I found so you can decide if the Katana is worth $6.90+shipping.
    You can see it disassembled at around the 11 minute mark.


    That's good info! I can't believe Amazon sells those...:lol:

    I'm making all of my orders stateside. But I did order some 8 gauge needles from Amazon for my syringes to deal with my thick vg (can't believe I haven't thought of it sooner) and guess what? Yep...shipping from China. I wasn't scared about the virus until lately. I think I'll get out my Lysol, double bag it when I get it, and let it sit out in the sun. :blink:

    Okay now the question would be - how much for shipping and then how long would Ya' have to wait, especially if you are not purchasing anything else . . . :facepalm:

    Any one planning to order one - let me know . . . Maybe Ya' can get one for "Me" if I get the MOD . . . .;)

    .
    Free shipping.

    Typically that'll be a 3 week delivery.

    I use the free option for all the small stuff.

    I ordered one, will check fit. If it's nice I'll order another.

    I missed it if you said you’re having trouble with the veco.

    I have a few of them and never had an issue. Mine would be about 3 years old, so it could be the newer ones at faulty? Or the newer coils? Or just the odds are, a dud is going to roll off the line occasionally?

    At any rate, you should try other tanks and coils. Eggs and baskets as they say.
    I haven't tried my veco yet but Myrany had issues. I think she figured out it was a bad batch of coils so hopefully mine will be ok.

    Well the merchants have gotten creative like fasttech in classification. However going back to look for a previous order-can’t seem to find it!

    Have you ever considered making your ejuice by weight instead of by volume. No syringes needed. Just a digital gram scale and plastic dropper bottles (or glass bottles with droppers). Just drip or squirt your VG/PG, nic and flavors right into the bottle you are using to mix in. Lots of people use this method. Much simpler in most cases.

    Ive started my spring cleaning and under my computer stand I found an istick power nano with a Russian sitting on top. I have no idea where it came from. I didnt even know they made them that small or the specs. Crazy. If it werent for the Russian I would swear its not mine.

    Well off to look up the specs.

    The necks on my bottles are too small for easily getting VG in there except by syringe. Different story when I make huge batches with my 8 oz boston rounds with a wider neck. But I use a huge syringe and put flavor and nic one on top of the other and squirt it in. Then I do vg. Not hard at all. These are the bottles I use. Impossible to get VG in there by dripping or funnel.
