Sorry about your bad luck. Hope you learned to always have backup.

Check out the members in the Long Island Vapers Club - you may find someone near you.

EDIT - hmm - I went out to check - maybe not here anymore - there also used to be a NYC Vapers Club???? Not sure what happened. sorry

Barenetted,

Maybe try Spikey's forum for the Long Island Vapers Club?
 
I'm holding on... Still looking for a better Janty Stick Supplier - any suggestions?

oh and on a side note, I think it's very funny if I curse "****" shows up. all this time I thought people were purposely censoring them selves with "****"... No curse words in an adult forum... very funny.
Yeah... we didn't like the ***'s either so we started our own forum without those lol :)

Barenetted,

Maybe try Spikey's forum for the Long Island Vapers Club?

Since ya can't post the name of our forum here anymore (cause some ***holes from my forum came over here spamming it all over the place)... someone was kind enough to come to our forum and send a message to let us know you needed help... there are lots of us within 20 min of you and we have every type of atty you could need. I am workng til 9pm, but check your PM and call me after 9pm if ya wana come by and pick up an atty. (I am 15 min away from you). I have 4081 (103), 510, 801, 901 and 401 attys.
 
Yes Spikey, thanks so much! I sent you a PM, but I'll hold out for now, like I said I still have my 4081, and I think I've got an atomizer that should hold me over until I can figure out what's going on with my packages...

Here's an update:
According to the post office it's out of their hands. See I found out today that my work has a special courier service that picks up the mail from the post office. So when the post office clears it as being DELIVERED, it only means the courier service picked it up. So I go to the mailroom and ask. They tell me the post office lied. That the courier service only picks up packages without tracking numbers, that if it has a tracking number then the regular mail carrier delivers it. Mine had a tracking number (well the 510 did, the Janty atomizer replacement didn't as far as I know) The head of the mail room says he's going to call the courier service and will have more news for me tomorrow. But that guy is a lazy ....... so who know what's going to happen.

And YES to everyone: YES I have learned a lesson about buying only the starter kits and nothing extra. A mistake I won't make again. If tomorrow yields no results I'm going to reorder the 510 with my original supplier with EXTRAS (she's been really helpful and honest) and then buy myself a bunch off Janty Stick batts and atomizers from another company.

Let’s hope...
 
UPDATE:

Well everyone helped out amazingly.
I never got the first batch of all the stuff I ordered, but...

I've had losts of offers of help from Spikey and others to lend me something to hold me over until this problem was resolved, lots of words of encouragement... a smoker friend of mine thought that was so funny. A support group for ex-smokers turned vapors.

Parked at dietsmokes.com was very helpful and he offered to send yet another new atty to my home address. I have given up on using my work address. If this one doesn't arrive I won't even complain to myself at home... parked has gone beyond the call of duty as far as I'm conserned...

Then Terri of Cignot.com was kind enough to throw in a free 510 batt and atomizer with my new order. All in all I had to spend twice the amount for a starter kit, which defeats the purpose of me jumping at the great deal she's offering, but like I said before: It wasn't her fault the post office and mail carrier are screwing me over.

I encourage all to give these people your business.
You won't be left in the lurch.

Then off the e-cigarette topic, still on the "I hate the Post office" topic: a book I had shipped to me and just found out yesterday should have arrived 2 weeks ago was also lost. I'm an artist and I submitted a piece I did for this awesome Austrian design journal called +rosebud (rosebudmagazine.com - shameless plug) and my work was accepted, so they sent me a contributors copy to my work. Naturally to my work. So after I found out it had been sent two weeks ago I wrote to them and not only are they sending me another copy to my house, they are also sending me another copy to my work, for reasons I have no understanding of. I told them to delete my work address, but they sent one anyways.

So my faith in humanity has been restored.
Just not my faith in the postal system, but who had any faith in them from the start, right? Although I love the band "the Postal Service" but that's as far as my love goes.

Thanks to everyone who cared.

Thanks Doots for planting that seed in the minds of ECF'ers (that acronym sounds vulgar with the "ers" at the end) , but I'll be fine. I have my 4081. tonight I'm going to the vodka soak I've been reading about, see if that helps. and if I don't get the atty for my janty stick by tomorrow I'll just buy some. anyone know FAST delivery, affordable prices? Links help alot... I'm holding on to my streak with a vengence. I do not want to be a smoker again.

mistake;
