Are you done stocking up?

[Ed Brown]

I'm still waiting on a couple stack tubes from Vapourium in New Zealand. They shipped by DHL which I thought was still delivering vapes in the USA. The package was supposed to be delivered on 12-6, but the tracking has not progressed past a facility in Cincinnati. Then I found out that DHL is NOT delivering vapes. I asked them to check into the status and they can't give me anything specific. I wonder if the package was seized and won't be delivered. You'd think that they'd tell me. Hoping it's just caught up in the Christmas rush.

I probably bought more than I needed as well but I’d rather that than worrying about running out of it. If it proves to be way to much then I’ll sell or PIF to others in need.

My excess is in my Last Will and Testament to my daughter along with my squonkers with several Wasp Nano's. Hope you all are still around to walk her through mixing, coil building and wicking. [Her (actually "my") Provari's will give out, her supply of pre-made coils and flavored juice will eventually run out.]

If they were dumb enough to ship with their actual website name or other name contain the word vape or ecig or variations thereof in the return address, and/or declare the contents as such, you may have a problem on your hands. Otherwise I'd say it's just delayed.

DHL, UPS, Fedex have all decided to enforce their no-tobacco policies (which they had in place long before the vape mail ban but rarely enforced it) back in March/April, which is why US shop are using alternate carriers who are willing to jump through the hoops of the requirements (but don't have the infrastructure to do so efficiently). The "Big 3" are not required by law to stop transporting vape (as long as they follow the law), they are merely doing so out of the kindness of their hearts, to save the cheeeldren, and to kiss up to the powerful ANTZ/karens, whose kids are likely popping pills they get from said karens' medicine cabinet.

I have been rediscovering the pleasure of actually dripping as opposed to squonking. Tengu on an Aegis Solo. It has been lovely.

I drip all the time, on an A7 since they "improved" my 510-T atties to death.
Dripping with a RDA is the purest form of temp control. If the vape is to hot ... add a wrap to the coil, to cold ... remove a wrap.

Tastes soooo good

And hopefully drinking bleach to prevent COVID (which it will, trust me ).

On a different note, I'm in the process of receiving my 3rd and last shipment ordered last month, and 2 were shipped via UPS and 1 via FedEx. I remember reading somewhere that they're making exception for certain vendors, but I'm sure they won't disclose that. The Innokin MVP Pod Kits that I received not long ago for review were sent via UPS, and the package contents were clearly labeled on the outside of the box.

The whole thing is a pure schitt show.

 

[hittman]

Same here. I get samples all the time by ups and FedEx. Sometimes I get stuff in the mail where the DHL bag has been turned inside out so am thinking they ship into the US via DHL and then mail it from there.

I've sent a good part of yesterday and today doing inventory. Long overdue. What a job. That's what you get for procrastinating until you're done buying. But it's coming along. Actually, I'm more or less done with the important stuff. I'm not going to inventory all the accessories I bought over the years. I got my glass and coil heads inventoried and everything else will just me listed in my inventory spreadsheet as "the rest" I know I have enough of "the rest" and it's doubtful anyone else will ever be looking for that stuff.

I did an inventory list a while back but have added quite a bit since then that’s not listed. I need to do the rest and am dreading it. I went to look for a couple things last night and had a hard time even finding the correct box. I’m off for a week after Xmas so may try to work on it then.

Same. Not long ago, I ziplocked pretty much everything I don't intend to immediately use, and feel like I'm missing a few screws after taking an electronic device apart. It's here somewhere... I think? But I don't remember where.

Does anyone here own the 2ml version of the Innokin Zlide tank and either a Pico 75W, Pico Mega, or Pico X mods? Just wondering if it fits on those mods. Fasttech lists the width as 22.7mm.

 

[DavidOck]

Uh, no 2 ml Zlide, but yes on the Pico 75. With a KFL2 on it, 22 mm tank, there's 1mm between the tank side and the battery cap. So, uh, at an extra 0.35 mm should fit. At least on paper?

I have a tank that's 22.3mm wide (Uwell Crown) and it fits, but just barely. If you hold it up to a light, you can see a tiny gap between the tank and the battery cap, but it's almost not there lol. I have a hunch that a tank over 22.5mm may not fit.

Looking at how big 0.5mm is, I have my doubts anything over 22.4mm would fit.

BTW: Reason I'm asking about the 2ml zlide is because FT's measurements might be off. I know that a 22.7mm tank would never fit.

If I can find the box with pico, I will confirm but I am almost certain I ran the zlide on it.

Thanks a bunch! I'm trying to recommend a tiny 18650 mod to someone who has many 2ml zlides and the Pico 75W would be perfect for them since they want something as small as possible and the Pico 25 is too hard to find. Can't go by FTs measurements on something this crucial. Thanks for taking the time to verify.

 

[hittman]

I bought one of the 2ml zlides when they came out and hated it. I do like the 4ml version better.

I think my Pico is the original and I don't know if there is a size difference in the 25 and 75w.

There really isn't a difference except size and amount of liquid held. I love mine, just goes to show we don't all like the same things.

 

[Bliss Doubt]

I'm just shocked.

I have a couple of Istick 30W mods that I bought in 2015 or maybe 2016. These were never opened and I opened one last night. It wouldn't turn on so I thought the battery was completely dead from sitting 5-6 years, which is what I expected.

Nope.

As soon as I plugged it into a charger I was able to turn it on, albeit with no battery life enough to vape, but it took a charge. It took about 2-2.5 hours to fully charge and then I removed the charge cable and let it sit until this morning.

I've been chain vaping it today, all day. First at 20W DL for a half hour, then when I saw the battery indicator only moved one notch down, I switched to MTL vaping on an EVOD at 12W. I started at about 8am and the indicator is just now approaching halfway mark, but not quite.

It's amazing! It's obvious that this battery hasn't been damaged much, if at all, by sitting uncharged and unused for 5-6 years. At this rate I'm guessing I'll be going to bed right about when it shows it's half way depleted. But maybe not, I've been really hammering this thing and I'm getting vaped-out lol.

It's awesome they still make these, just too bad they cost more than they are worth IMHO. I always hesitate buying integrated battery mods that I believe are old stock, but from what I experienced now, I would take a chance on these if I found them on clearance for $15 or less and thought they might be old stock.

These are so tiny, a perfect replacement for eGo batteries. Much more efficient and pocket friendly.

I'm prepared for the day I have to load an 18650 battery into a mech mod to vape, but until then, I'm sticking with the eLeaf isticks, having found them reliable and durable for many years.

Yes there is a difference between the Pico original 75W and the Pico 25. Pico 25 is slightly bigger because it takes up to 25mm atty. You'll know if your mod is a Pico 25 because it has a partially plastic body. The swoosh in the middle of the side of the mod is the plastic part.
