I saw this morning that sourcemore has the vaporesso gen mod for 19.99. I really like it but already have two. That's the lowest price I've seen on it.

Good find.

But just a heads-up for those that don't see the 19.99 price for the Gen mod at sourcemore. They have this idiotic policy where, to get better prices, you have to...

1. be logged in
2. have a "bronze" account.

To get a "bronze" account, you have to have one successful purchase on your account (they change your account level from "regular" to "bronze" once the package is successfully delivered - so buying something on preorder then immediately cancelling won't work lol).

So if you log into your account and you see $34.99 for the Gen mod (like I do) and not $19.99, that's the reason. If you've made a successful purchase in the past but still see the higher prices, you should email them and tell them you need to be switched to "bronze".

I emailed them a few weeks ago asking why I see higher prices than other people, which is how I found out about this "bronze" thing. Told them they are punishing/losing prospective customers with this policy, but they won't budge. They would respond with 10% coupons so that I would make a purchase to get that "bronze medal". The coupons wouldn't even work (even on regular priced items). I opted to buy nothing. Not interested in playing that game.

On a good note, they were VERY quick to respond lol

I was upgraded to bronze as soon as they accepted payment.

Interesting. This is SM's response to me on 3/3/2020 when I sent an email asking why I see higher prices than other people......

Dear,

Because you are general customer.
Customer who ordered from us and received their package successfully will become our bronze customer. There is big discount for our bronze customers.
Best Regards,

Well, How do you check status? I see some discount but not what hittman has posted. Maybe he is a Platinum status? :thumb:

Go to "My Account". On that page you should see a big red square with a badge in it and your name underneath it. If you are a "general" account (no discounts on some products), the badge says "General". Otherwise it should say "Bronze" (I guess).

If you are a lowly prospective customer, like me, your badge will look like this......

WOW!!!!! The lowest I’ve seen is mid $30s!!! That’s a steal!! I bought three on sale. Sure wish I had gotten them at this price but hey I never was a good gambler.

BTW... it is the Kangertech Nebox (an interesting AIO box mod that takes an 18650 bat) They were known as the "leakbox" but a simple o-ring fixes the issue... dang thing holds 10 ml of juice and also comes with a small RBA.

For that price, I would buy it. That should be in stock because kanger isn't making that anymore (in fact they don't seem to be making much of anything anymore lol) so there's a good chance it will ship quickly.

Just do not use temp control on the NeBox, it had a fatal flaw and could do things fire on a dry wick or empty tank rendering tc an issue/pointless/dangerous. I remember DJLSB had a warning out in his video about it, will link when i find it

So TC on that...careful



Also the KBox had an even worse issue - internal shorting

First vape vendor on my poolist (for the Subleak Spitty, my first tank ever)

Had one did we? or he did?

Subleak Spitty = Kangertech Subtank Mini for those who are playing along at home

Imagine me, being a new vaper and a very leaky one of those being your 1st tank. I started rebuilding from day one on that tank, and of course (with my luck - im known for having the worst luck in dodgy vape gear at home) i got one that leaked...and when i say leak it, it dumped it contents out of the airholes almost quicker than you could fill it - and yes i thought it might have been my build, but even as a newb i was nailing building, but i checked with a factory coil in it anyways...but same issue. And the thing spat to top things off. Changed the orings out for the spares, no change. Took it back to my local vape shop and they changed the orings and glass and still couldnt figure out what was up with it. They swapped it for the original Eleaf Lemo and my vape life improved 100%. To this day i still vape the successor, the Lemo 2, still my fave RTA ever and ive bought (and sent back) plenty. The next best was probably a tie between the SJMY Kayfun 5 clone or the OSB Crius II...all single deck RTA's.

I ordered two Vaporesso Revenger Mini 85W Kits from EightVape a week or so ago and they arrived yesterday from the USA warehouse. The box came in yesterday. It's sitting in a corner in quarantine. I'll open it some day! :)

I'm really glad that you persevered and didn't let that deter you from making better choices for your health than smoking.

Does anyone know of any other site that has like the severely discounted products including Ejuice and coils and stuff similar to ejuicesteals? Basically a place with a clearance section that has dollar juices and stuff with a decent selection. I'm not real hopeful that I'm going to receive my last order but I know I'll get my money back from the company I just won't be able to find those e-juices at anything close to the price I was paying so I'm hoping to find another site that's maybe closer to Florida than California

Nah i dont quit easy

I had the WORST cold i ever had just as i changed to vaping and initially it made it worse, because your throat takes time to adjust to vaping usually, so i was determined, i vaped through...and then finally to 0 nic nearly 2 years ago. Now i only toot a little VG + Distilled Water when i outside the home and anxious (i have aspergers - medically diagnosed and certified 100% weird, not one of these self diagnosed wannabes who thinks because theyre quirky theyre "on the spectrum") and social anxiety is part of the lovely mixture)

I never thought id be free of nicotine after 35 years smoking....didnt even plan on it, just happened, i tapered my nic % over 3 years and one day thought, can i have my 1st birthday since i started smoking (11, someone thought giving me a cigarette would calm me down) and turns out i could, and about to have my second in July :)
