120W Ehpro Cold Steel 100 TC Box MOD - Grey Standard Edition $29.99 Flash Sale

So I liked the looks of this mod when it came out and for $30 it was impossible to resist. Put that on top of the fact I have several 21700’s that aren’t getting enough use and there was only one prudent move to make. It’s ordered and it will be forgotten about until the day I see a package in the mailbox and wonder “what the hell is this?”. That in my opinion is the only way to remain sane while waiting for an order from China. Order and forget it. That my friends is a lesson on how to justify a purchase you have absolutely no need for, would make no difference if it didn’t even arrive, and has a good chance of never being opened or removed from the box. Just another mod for piece of mind in the event the vapeocylapse comes to fruition. Thanks for the hot tip Slowtalker and have a nice day everyone.

Yes, but it's also a bit like naming your own star after yourself. You have to like forget you did it, in its futile pointlessness, and if SOME day that star goes supernova and stuff, you might be like "Oooh, I'm pretty cool" but the rest of the time you would have to forget you did it, to live with yourself.

Also, "Naming a Star after someone else" is the ultimate passive aggressive gift. The giver has to a) pretend to like it b) pretend, "This matters, because there are UNCOUNTABLE stars in the sky literally we don't know how many and one is NOW named after me, and I can't even find it on the dumb map they give you, and they have to ACCEPT your gift and pretend they like it and say things like, "How sweet. Long after I am dead, presumably, depending on how far away it is, the light I don't see could be DEAD already, but long after I am dead, there will be a star named after ME."

To add insult to injury I bet the cost of naming a star after someone is like 5 bucks and it costs YOU fifty bucks because you get the cute little chart (made in China) I am sure and the certificate attached.

I have neither done it, gifted it or received it THANK GOD. But I have seen it done, my stepfather to my mother and I noted the seething underbelly of a gift.

I don't want to pay MONEY for something I WILL forget, which may or may not arrive. That includes pretty much EVERYTHING I can think of. Dude, that is not a smart use of funds, although if it brings you peace, LOL be at peace.

Just the infinitely small chance the star may go supernova and be aimed at earth, in my lifetime, would be worth it. My namesake wipes out all life on earth would be incredible to see on the news. Although now that I think about it, and I’m not a rocket physicist so don’t quote me, but I think the supernova would be traveling at the speed of light so we wouldn’t have any warning. Therefore I wouldn’t get to hear world leaders the planet over say on tv that I went supernova and I will end everything. I mean the world ending would suck but if it had to end at least I could have just that small satisfaction that I did it, sorta, but not really. Anyway in the face of the global apocalypse I could get a giggle hearing I was responsible, but yea the speed of light thing would negate my giggle therefore everything I’ve written is completely irrelevant and I’ve gotten so off track I don’t know how this started so I’ll just stop! Much like how a supernova hitting the earth head on would do to life on earth!!!!!! WOW What a save, got off track and was able to turn it around in the bottom of the ninth and complete the thought. Do you believe in miracles?!? YES!!!

Actually, I'm into astronomy... (and from my fading memory) I think the closet star is 4 "light years" away... would take 4 years before it hit us (but would also take 4 years before we saw it... even with the best telescopes) Now our star (the Sun) takes a day or two (after we see something flair up) to reach us. A strong solar event could easily wipe out the power grid and all communications. People would be crawling around like little babies crying "my cell phone doesn't work... my microwave doesn't work"... "Alexa, Alexa... why aren't you listening?"

Got my back-up star too! Er, I mean nova - I think I'm lost.

 

[stols001]

If I were allowed to rename the sun "Anna" that would be a pretty different set of talking points.;

Global warming caused by Anna.

Why yes, I am getting hotter all the time thank you, but I flare up occasionally.

And if I were in a bad mood I would do something to rotate differently or make the earth orbit differently so there were no sunrise over America for week, until the politicians did what I wanted and I shone upon them once again.

I would also concentrate some flares directly over Obama at all times, because he is a master hypnotist, so I have never seen him sweat and I would do it until he finally gave in and beads of sweat were running down his foreheads like tears.

I would make objects like food, with the label attached, "By Anna."

Even only ONE of those valuable skills I would pay fifty bucks for.

I’m pretty sure that’s a good sign. If you could make sense of these posts then I’d recommend checking yourself into your neighborhood mental asylum for an evaluation and some R&R. The chances are pretty good you’d get to meet some ECF members in person, so it would be a win-win. Instead of having to log in to ECF you’d just need to go to group therapy and continue the discussion of supernovas, the many mysteries of our universe, and vaping.

 

[stols001]

Oh I am doing just fine here on the outside and making sure it's a shiny day. You just TRY putting me in the asylum GO AHEAD. Heh.

I've been looking for an inexpensive Geekvape Aegis Zeus Subohm Tank. A guy I keep asking sent me a site where the tank is considerably lower than the normal place. Most are preorder. PM me and I'll send you the details.

 

[AvaOrchid]

If anyone happens to know of anywhere with a sale on prewrapped coils that has like stainless steel as an option or has good prices I would really appreciate it I'm not talking about like legit hand-wrapped but also not that 8 in 1 disk that has hives and twisted and a couple Clapton's... something more like the little 10 packs of coilology or mkws or mwks (cant remember).. like Chinese but not grab bag Chinese something that would be on FastTech but not in China if that makes sense LOL

 

[stols001]

Uh what on EARTH would be the difference between something Chinese on a China site, vs a USA one? Fasttech sells stuff from low to high. A fair number of the coils you deemed too expensive, could be sold on FT. I mean...…. They sell nice stuff and cheaper stuff. Someone importing to the US isn't necessarily different other than you won't pay as much because of shipping.

If you are trying to avoid shipping that's one thing, but I don't quite understand the whole 'China but not China" bit. If you think the country making the coils isn't selling them too, well.....

To be fair FT does also have some really awful coils.

Well, I won a prize... Vaporesso Extra and really looking forward to trying it (I think they shipped it out so I will see)
Not really trippin... it comes when it does. I guess a free device is considered "bargain bin" right?
BTW, it looks really nice (I entered other contests for other "pod" devices and was just going to give them away to friends that want to quit smoking but this one actually is something I will use)

Hey! Congratulation! I found out from a user on reddit that i won the Vaporesso Revenger! Would you be able to point me to the page that has the tracking numbers? Thanks.

If you are looking for cheap, regular, round wire coils from a USA seller, I have not been able to find any. Ever since the pod craze kicked-in, US retailers seemed to have all but abandoned the the DIY vaping market. The only premade coils I have found in the USA are what I call "specialty" coils (ie claptons and the like) and most seem to sell those those milti-packs with several different types of specialty coils.

Of the few Chinese retailers that I've seen that still sell regular, round wire premade coils, Fasttech seems to have the largest selection.

I believe they mean like the ones you often find on Chinese sites in North America.

Here ya go AvaOrchid: Stainless Steel Coils

I have not used these, but they are cheap and they are MKWS. Worth a try. They have Claptons (most are sold out) and round wire (appears all gauges currently in stock). Store is legit as I have placed at least one order there.

You are at the bottom of the list, not shipped yet.

The difference between something Chinese on a China site and something Chinese on a United States site would be shipping time. I would usually just use FastTech but I'm not in the mood to wait for 3 month's for something I'm out of today

Perfect! You wouldn't believe how many times I searched for coils and didn't get two of those sites to come up thank you so much
