Maybe I'm just missing the point here and you guys are talking about future proofing your stash and not immediate needs... but you are all aware that IMR batteries is still selling button top batteries, right?

I think maybe decent ones for vaping are getting harder and harder to find. That's what I hear.

So for anyone playing at home and wondering where my Ulton Tripod RTA is that was my first order in 2+ years and i made on the 16th is...well theres an update in this thread showing things werent going to plan, because their shipping partners in Australia werent exactly up to delivering my package...

Anyway for an update you can follow this post and the couple after it, or any of the 3 2fdeal threads basically, because once something doesnt get delivered (and the courier says they WONT deliver it) and ive told the vendor that, and you ignore email form me about sorting it out, its theft, and i have a scorched earth policy when vendors ignore me and they have my money and i dont have my order...

2Fdeal: New Products and Deals - Free Shipping

Warning, theres no happy ending for me, i have no Tripod, and wont be getting one, because their shipping partner in Australia is a bunch of lazy, incompetent, lying fools, and theres no alternate method except untrackable air mail or expensive DHL, so in other words, just no, and as pudding i may have to wait until the 19th of March - a month and 3 days from the time i ordered it - to get my money back because 2fdeal have made me put in a paypal claim despite having proof i never got the package, as they have talked to the courier...hopefully they wont make me wait that long. But yes, not impressed.....

So now, not only do i not have that tank, i have to find another good, and importantly, easy to build tank....and then hopefully have the money back to buy it....

All i wanted was a Tripod RTA....not this crap

Well for us it is a bit more complex than most. MANY cars are eliminated almost instantly because the hubby is in a wheel chair. So 1st thing is can he get himself in and out of the car with minimal assistance. 2nd thing is how hard is it for me to load the chair. 3rd thing is do we still have enough room with the chair loaded for a major shopping trip or and actual vacation packing type situation. 4th I do the driving so am I comfortable driving the thing (hint I don't do REALLY big cars). Everything else becomes niceties after that.

Those 2 cars having met the requirements the best out of all we looked at it came down to cupholders. LOL

I will say now that we have had the car for a year. No regrets at all. The outback is a wonderful and reliable machine.

Cup holders didn’t even make my list, lol. I needed AWD because at the time, my mom was sick in a nursing home, and we got frequent emergency calls. The home is a 20 mile drive, mostly highway so I also needed side lane assist to help with the exit ramps.

I needed room for the dogs, and easy to get them in and out, and I wanted the biggest thing I could afford. I’m driving around large vehicles, and wanted something they wouldn’t bully so much. Got a Traverse, couldn’t be happier.

A lot of the bells and whistles are superfluous to my needs - tow package, which I’ll never use- but some are appreciated, like charging my phone and using the music app. Being able to mute a phone call with a button on the steering wheel is pure genius.

I'm in a couple Facebook groups and I am absolutely dumbstruck at how many people on there only have one mod and one tank... and if that's the deal for you because of financial reasons you know I am absolutely not judging I'm not judging anyone anyway I just think that only having one mod is I don't know I don't want to sound like a jerk. If its financial reasons I get it but these people are talking about really expensive top-of-the-line gear maybe that's why they think they only need one or something because they think that will last indefinitely forever. Even without threats of bans and May coming really soon.. what if your tank breaks what if your mod stops working what do you do then wait for 3 to 5 days until something else comes in the mail?

I didn't know Sourcemore had a special prices when you log in. I guess that's how they get around MAP pricing rules lol

I went in via a separate browser, configured to desktop. The price changed to this as soon as I logged in:

(& since it's the price vapecrawler lists for sourcemore, I suspect it's what you should be seeing)
a65f69bb4ed3a112bb7fb2e2ca4dcfc6.jpg

That's nuts. My account is new, I just opened it to see this price. That might be why, but still.

So I emailed them and told them that I see higher prices even when I'm logged in. We'll see if they respond.

I just heard back from Sourcemore. The reason I see higher prices than other people (my account is new) is because you have to make a purchase from them (and receive the package successfully) in order for your account to be placed in the "bronze" category...then you can see and purchases at their lower, more reasonable prices. o_O

Email goes like this:

Me: Why do I see higher prices than other people?

Sourcemore rep: Because you are our general customer. Customer who ordered from us and received their package successfully will become our bronze customer. There is a big discount for our bronze customers.

The email included a screen shot of their back-end showing my account as "general".

I'm speechless.

I replied...

If you would like to stop playing games and would like a new customer, please switch my account to "bronze" category or just close my account and lose a sale and a customer.

Doubt they will do that or even respond. Don't care. :rolleyes:

The other Uncle, Uncle! :wub:

Absolutely NO Problem - Sweetness :wub: . . . .I thought there might have been some kind of confusion or possible mistake, especially since while there maybe other's who are an uncle - there is only one "Uncle" on ECF (and even on a few other Vaping websites, including England & Australia, too) . . . Just need to keep it straight who is who . . . AND - WHO IS - The One & ONLY "Uncle" especially around here (sometimes refereed to as "Unc" by extra special ECF Friend like Ya' ) . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    Somewhere between here and there
    I have a package coming today via DHL. I'm guessing that it's a vaporesso pm80 they are sending for me to review. I've been wanting to do some stuff for vaporesso since I already use and like a fair amount of their gear. I did several for geekvape but for some reason they didn't send me the frenzy or boost. I bought a couple of the boosts and rbas and like them well enough but I don't usually write reviews when I purchase the stuff myself.

    I didn't know you were a reviewer. Do you have a Youtube channel or blog or something?

    Order originally placed on 1/26/2020 has now processed through CHICAGO ISC on 2/25/2020. Other order showing ready to ship except for one item that now shows "ships in 7 days".
    FYI, order from 1/26/2020 was delivered today. Order from 1/24/2020, plus additional order from 2/12/2020, are pending shipment; both waiting items from SXK.

    To each his own but I bagged and set the package aside for a month.
