I’ve only been vaping about 1 1/2 but I have continuously gone back to my picos. Three I’ve had for at least a year. Hopefully I can get some years out of them. I have 5 of the 100 w TC stashed.

Given the current climate in the vaping world I need to order more Picos, too. I just checked my vape cabinet and several of what I thought were new Picos in the box were actually empty boxes that I put back in the cabinet in case I had to return them.

I have five new ones coming from Fasttech and VaporL, but I want a dozen new ones for sufficient backup. I really don't want to have to resort to the one Mech mod that I ordered for a last resort solution. :)

Well Then Since Ya' Said "My Shorts" . . . Can't renege on a promise . . . So whatever they be - then that's what "You" should eat . . . Shorts - No Shorts . . . Pants - No Pants . . . Whatever is in that area that would normally be covered by that material - it has got to be what Ya' have to eat then, including the "Short Hairs" too . . . Just Sayin' . . . :img:


.


Tell ya what. If nicotine base/salts isn't taxed by the end of this year, I'll buy a box of fruit roll-ups & cut one into the shape of shorts.

Those will be "MY" shorts, "I" bought them..."I" made them...therefore I will eat them. :p

Vaping since 8/9/2012
Vapemail! I got my 12-120 ml bottles from Amazon. I also picked up five bags of agleted vape fly cotton from Amazon at a pretty good price. I hear it’s good. I re-counted my unicorn hair wicks and I did get 720 not the 1,020 I counted too early in the morning but I PIFd some. And I really love the shoelace wicks. And I had a gift card from Christmas. And I use dual coils and and and...so...judgment-free zone people! :lol: I like variety. My cotton needs are now met for my lifetime. ;) I love those bottles and I think I’ll like the bigger size than the 100 ml I have now since I’ll have more room to shake my 100 ml recipes.

I also got more tea so my cookie jar on the counter is full again.

I also got my perfume samples I ordered using my birthday money. Another huge love of mine.

Good mail day. :vapor:

I can’t bring myself to buy any mechs. I just don’t know enough. I’ve read and read but ohms law is just not making that final click of “I get it!” And some are so pretty...

I have 4 stashes...
  • New/unused
  • Used but functional (just didn't want to use it anymore for whatever reason)
  • Non-functional but repairable.
  • Non-functional, non-repairable - for parts only.
Yeah, I hoard shipping boxes.

I spent $15.84 per 12x 32 oz. Amber Boston Round's ($11 shipping though) (Glass Bottle Outlet). But you would need 48x 8oz bottles to equal that.

I keep my working liter at room temp for 14 months till it's gone and it's fine... so I figured 1 liter bottles would be easier. But I plan on cutting our nic from 18mg to 9mg over the next 5 years to stretch out our stash, at that point I will probably get 2x 16oz bottles and split the working liter into those and put one back in the freezer as a liter would last us 28 months at that point. (There are 2 of us, so a working 16oz would pretty much be the same as one person using 8oz bottles)

I didn’t know that. It was my first order with them. I assumed with the low prices that they were in China.

The easiest way to tell if a vendor is from China is if they take paypal. USA vendors can't use Paypal or any other 3rd party processor (any that you may find that do won't be doing it for long - paypal will eventually shoot them down). In fact, Chinese vendors these days seem to only take paypal and crypto currency - no credit cards directly anymore.

Of course, another way to tell is looking at the shipping methods. US vendors will have USPS/FedEx/UPS options. Chinese vendors will say "epacket" or "USA Express line" or "EMS" or a plethora of other things like Post NL, HK Post, etc. Also the shipping times next to those methods will be 12+ days.

Most chinese vape sellers also have the EMS logo at the bottom of their site. That's a dead giveaway they are a chinese vendor..

Of course, if they post a phone # like +861234657890, that's a dead giveaway, too.

These the same thing? Free shipping with order $25 on Amazon

Even if they are the same thing...that illustrates the fact that FREE S/H on Amazon isn't really free. Otherwise, there'd be much more than a puny $.84 difference in what HE paid...and buying the same thing through Amazon. Just my :2c:. Every vendor is recouping their S/H costs one way or the other...either by upping the items' price to include it or charging it separately as S/H charges.

ETA: Geez, I just checked those bottles on Amazon, and they are only a 6-pack for $21.99. He got 12 for $15.84 + $11 S/H. So his were a much better deal.

If you find a cheap Luna it is a bit protected and you can use it as a regular mod or squonk with it. All squonkers can be used as a mod. Or if you get a tube mech get the protection add on, that's what I did :)

You are 100% correct. Too late for me as I already ordered some and they have shipped. Should have calculated the per unit price 1st.

I’ve been admiring the Luna since y’all started buying them. Lol luckily Sourcemore has not had the red stab. If I found that one around that price I would bite.
