Upgrades considered stocking up?

Mime's Masterful Toolbag. 3 weeks from ordered to received from FT. I like it.

Been all over the place, quit my job, got a new job (start Tuesday), been really busy with the sneaker community.

Catch me up, what did I miss? I saw CASAA post that the vape tax got removed... again.

Also, is there a battery shortage? I was able to nail down 8 batteries to get off Mooch's list from 18650 but it wasn't easy and they weren't my first choices. I was only going to order 4 but decided on 8 with how limited they seemed.

seems a lot of people posting about batteries not being in stock and I’m going to decide it must be from the shipping delays. I don’t know if they are able to use airmail because of their risks of exploding. If that’s true then everything goes by tanker and is probably sitting off the LA Port with many more cargo ships inline for unloading.

Anyways that’s my theory. I bought 21700s and 18650s from LIION and the 800 Battery Store. All Molicells. They may have holiday sales so check daily or just grab them when you can!

FT for the win again. $67.56 shipped.

I've been getting burnt a lot by FT. The latest one was a Hyperion I ordered back in June when they were on preorder. Then they tell me 5 months later they are discontinued (they never had any). Also happened with a HCigar VT75D, Odin DNA250C, Unitank, and about another dozen of other stuff. I don't know why manufactures are shipping to FT last or none at all. Plus they rarely stock anything. It is a pain. Now I've been shopping elsewhere. So a few bucks more is worth it.

I'm not gonna lie, I have had products not ship from FT because they went out of stock after I ordered them. But that happened to me with 2 of the 3 orders I've ever placed at 3FVape as well. But it doesn't bother me, I always get a refund. In fact, on one of my last FT orders I used the gift card method and when they told me a product wasn't going to ship, they offered a refund to my paypal account, not a gift card refund. I made a deal with them to ship me another product instead, in which they lost under $0.10, but they obliged.

All in all, since I'm not in a hurry, I put up with FT to save money. Those "Ships in 10 days" products, I find that they ship well before they say they are going to ship (not without jumping ETAs in the order history though lol). FT over-estimates those ETAs apparently.

All in all, I can't complain too much about FT. I've shopped with the others, almost all of them, and some are good, but FT is king of vape accessories that the others don't sell, which is why I'm a bit more prone to buy from FT. Accessories is mainly all I've been buying from FT for the past couple years with a few exceptions.

That's where I got it. I bought a gift certificate from Paypal but you could use your CC.

I have the accessory bag on the way now.
I wanted to make sure I actually received the toolbag first instead of ordering both at once..

Somewhere out there
Just want to wish everyone a Merry Xmas, Happy Holiday. Stay safe and well!
The only thing I bought recently were flavors. I'm try to recreate Jam monster flavors since my stash of the real stuff is depleted, darn. I bought toast & butter and JamIt flavors so giving it a try :)

    Careful with that Jamit. It doesn't take a lot in my experience. I haven't bought a lot lately either except a few new flavors. I did get an Oxva velocity on clearance and like it well enough so far.

    I just had a Chinese retailer customer service rep say to me
    "Enjoy your holiday, hope you have a wonderful Santa!"

    I thought that was hilarious. :lol:
    Friend of min was once trying to tell us something about Xmas, and FORGOT SANTA'S NAME.
    She was like...."You know....um...uh....the Christmas Man!" LOLOL. Still give her .... about that.
