    I scrounged up some juice last night to try it out. It's a single coil build deck and easy enough to build on. I did a quick 9 wraps on a 3mm mandrel with plain 22ga kanthal. About .5 ohm. It worked as expected, no complaints that I could come up with.
    I have some single and dual coil rdas but tend to prefer single.

    What kind of charger is everyone using these days? Had a miboxer that fried out, some nitecores that died, one with USB charging that was painfully slow. Would like something with a real power cable. Considering another Miboxer, it was fast when it worked.
    I use an 8 bay Nitecore.

    The announcement comes after President Donald Trump on Saturday signed executive orders imposing tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada. Trump on Monday agreed to hold off on imposing 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico for 30 days, but the additional 10% tax on goods from China remains.

    A provision in the orders eliminates a popular trade loophole, known as “de minimis,” which allows exporters to ship packages worth less than $800 into the U.S. duty free.

    The de minimis provision has been a critical tool for Chinese e-commerce firms, including Shein and PDD Holdings’ Temu, as they look to grow their presence in the U.S. by offering rock-bottom prices on everything...

    The U.S. processed more than 1.3 billion de minimis shipments in 2024...A 2023 report from the U.S. House’s Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party found that Temu and Shein are “likely responsible” for more than 30% of all packages shipped to the U.S. under the provision, and “likely nearly half” of all de minimis shipments originating from China.

    China Post and Hong Kong Post are government-operated postal services. It’s unclear if the suspension applies to package shipments from China and Hong Kong sent via private mail carriers. In response to a request for clarification, a USPS spokesperson pointed CNBC to the agency’s original announcement.

    Yup. Clown World Central.

    Anyone care to guess what and when the next "update" will be? Or maybe this is just another episode in soap opera politics? I supposedly had my student loans "forgiven" in Feb 2024. I'll believe it when I'm dead because I know they die at my death, at least that's what they say for now :lol:

    Hey guys, just checking in. Was on here to ask a noob question to JC even though I should have known the answer lol. About to switch VG for the first time in a very long time, I guess it has no taste so I shouldn't be able to tell a difference.

    I guess I'm done stocking up because I'm considering trying to sell some stuff. Just don't think I need this many mods/tanks.

    I must admit I've gone into overdive since what is laughingly known as the UK Government decided to tax everything related to Vaping this coming June or July. I've laid in an extra six litres of juice to my exhisting stock 180 Nautilus coils and am now working on stocking up with Zenith coils.

    With a bit of luck I'll have at least ten extra litres of liquid, by the time it trebles in price, and around a hundred Z coils.

    Is everything going up in price or just the liquid?

    I just saw a UK article about spreading infectious diseases by sharing vapes. Like that was something we had never thought of. They claimed that the younger generation would get together socially and pass the vapes around.

    As far as I know it's everything liquids, no nic liquids, devices coils etc etc. Sunak got it through before the elction which got him booted out but Starmer kept it.

    The duty will fall heaviest in higher nic liquids. Because I deal direct with the makers I can still get 16 strength liquid for under £1.00 for 20 mils - this'll go up to £3.00 a time.

    I know I can dilute what I have in stock down to 12 strength which will be OK with me.

    I'm 75 next month - I'm trying to get enough kit and juice in to do me for 10 years which should see me out!

    This is the most info I have, and the only good news is that I could have longer to stock up!

    Yeah, another year and a half should be time enough...

    I started building my stash - of mods, rtas and NIC back when our FDA first started making noises. If a mod a year fails (but in 12+ years I've only lost 3 and one was on me!) I still have enough to hit 95. (76 now) Same with rtas, and enough high test nic to reach 100 at my current usage.

    And so now, anything "new" is just dessert :)

    God forbid they ever find out about kissing.
