When Lox passed away the PIF Social Group was closed...he was the one that "owned" it.
That's where the Deals and Steals thread was.
Now there is a sticky in General e-Liquids and a sticky in DIY E-Liquids for sales.

We could use this one for hardware (both mods and coils) since that's kind of what it refers to (to me) and keep it in General vaping Discussion.
What 'cha think ?


Altho I think NCC is talking just about Clearance items...??
Getting higher dollar stuff at the close out prices...
You're right. My goal wasn't PIF, but deals on closeouts. Hardware which has been discounted as it has been discontinued. Frankly, I thought the OP was clear. But, judging from the responses, I failed.

Or maybe I underestimated how much people enjoy spending hours searching the internet for bargains?

I kinda like the idea of this thread. None of the others are quite like it. Hot items from a couple of years ago, still available at low prices. Saw a Pico 75 for about $14 last week that I though of when I saw this thread. And noticing the Yihi pod system for $4.95. Orions were shining stars just months ago, but I saw one for less than $10. Yeah, I don't have the links at the moment, but I do like this idea. I'll see if I can contribute.

Maybe the thread should be closed. I thought it was a good idea. Oh well.

It was apparent early on that some folks just didn't "get it".

NCC, I apologize if you felt like I threw cold water on your idea. I misinterpreted your post as you not being sure where to find bargains, not as a thread for people to share bargains. I think it's a great idea. One hitch, though, as we found out in the Stocking Up thread, is that when a bargain gets posted it almost immediately all gets snapped up right away. But let me contribute a couple of bargains for those who may be looking.

First, subtank minis for $5. I remember when these first came out they were $35.
Kanger SubTank Mini V2

Second is the Sense V-Jet 230W kit for anyone wanting a dual battery mod. This is the smallest dual battery mod I have and very comfortable in hand. I bought one and liked it so much that I have 2 more on order for my stash. It comes with a subohm tank, but I haven't even tried it yet. It came out around 2017 and I'm seeing it sold elsewhere for $55-$80. Kanger Wholesale has it on sale for $9.99 and you can get another 20% off with coupon VD20.

Stab wood Luna’s at Sourcemore for $26.

Picked up a Stentorian RAM squonk for $6.50 several months ago. Same time from a different vendor a Squeeze 2 kit for les than $30.

EightVape had a holiday sale with a LV Drone 250C DNA for $48. Still feel bad I didn’t take advantage of that one.
Everyday I kick myself in the ... for not getting that drone. Honestly it had nothing to do with the Drone as to why I didn't get it I was spooked by how good all the sales were and I was thinking there's something wrong I did order some lower-end stuff and I got it all in three days so miserable about that LOL

Also I just thought I should mention that I think that this is a great thread. I often find a sale and after I purchase it for myself because well you know why... I will go somewhere and share it and I never know quite where I should be sharing it. I also often find myself on the other end where I want something new but I don't want it to be the newest latest thing I wanted to be the cool thing from 2 years ago because now it's on super duper clearance. But I don't really know where to ask all that so it ends up going in the shinies or the are you done stocking up which are amazing threads but aren't exactly right for what I'm doing. This thread is my aesthetic....this is my people LOL

If you want steals and deals, check out the Shinyitis thread, or the "Are you done stocking up" thread and I think there is another. There are deals aplenty posted there.

Or, you can just follow @JCinFLA she is the mistress of the MASTERFUL deal She really is. That is a great idea and I might follow her right NOW (IDK how, never done it) but like, I want to save money just by saving it, not save by spending. I'm feeling pretty okay for now and I want to wait and see the lay of the land because I CAN.. I have many lovely mods and RTAs I have not set up yet, man. I really think I am fine.

My most recent deal and steal was 3 Silver play RTAs at Vape NW (they have sometimes have a great clearance section also where I picked up a bunch of SKX minis for 50 bucks each. The vape is good AND they are built like tanks.) I think the Silverplays are older RTAs? I happen to adore the vape though. Flavor is better than MANY an RTA,.

I also keep an eye on Chinese sites, Buy best is good one they have sort of daily deals and like, you can get some great stuff there if they are putting something you want on sale. I got a couple of Squid DB for like 40 bucks there.. But my point is, you have to keep checking until they have something you want at an unreasonably low price/

VaporL is not bad either. Have to log in to see "real" prices sometimes, but they often have deals. USA good sites are eightvaepe and ejuices.ccm IF they have what you want.

As far as the vape shops closing or liquidating it has to be sort of a serendipity thing and you get there before the rest of your pals have snatched up everything. I got a vape mech mod I plan to ACTUALLY vape.... with a serial number... Somewhere far in the distant future as it seems to be turning OUT. When I'm not BUSY I am too fried to try and set up my new mech. I'm excited it has a SERIAL number, though. And I think it will be perfect for me.. ONCE I do it.

:offtopic:
(IDK how, never done it)

EASY - PEASY - Once Ya' know how to do it (That is if the ECF Member has not chosen to have a "Private" page to limit who can access their information and they allow others to see their personal profile/information) . . .

How to privately "Follow" (or "Report" or "Ignore") an ECF Member:

1) Open members profile page - Click on their ECF Member name in one of their post . . .
See a number of Options - click on profile page to open . . .
2) In the main profile page where their "NIckname" Title Box is - look all the way to the right . . .
3) There are 3 options: Report Ignore Follow
4) Chose the option Ya' want . . .
5) ALL DONE ! ! !

Then on the right side of the page are 2 more boxes: Following - Followers . . . That is where the Member can also see Ya' are showing them "Love" & following them . . . :thumbs:


BTW: You can also open your profile page to see who is "Following" / "Stalking" you too . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:


:lol: :lol: :lol:


Hope this information is helpful . . . :cool:


BTW: When ECF changed platforms, all the Followers - those Following were merged and then divided into the different groups . . . So in reality, a lot of people no longer know who is doing what to whom . . . I "Myself" am not following more then half the ECF Members listed there - however they are following "Me" . . . Just a humorous side note . . . :rolleyes:

Thanks for the compliment, but...yesterday was my last day searching for and posting deals, sales info, etc. in the threads. I'm hanging up my "Googlefoo spurs", so to speak. So following me to see about that stuff won't be beneficial. I'd been thinking about retiring from it for several weeks. ;)

Drat! Just when I was thinking about hitting you up for a source on Vladdin RE pods! :(

Seriously, JC - thanks for all the selfless work you've done (gratis) for everyone here! A lot of people on ECF are helpful, but none have been more so than you.
