Oh man IDK if I should buy a drag 2 kit (I mean I won't like the tank) but you can barely even find them for like 33.60 shipping included. Gosh also found an aspire speeder (I always meant to buy one but never did.)

I swore never to buy anything voopoo but the drag 2 is dang appealing. LOL. Talk me down from the edge.

Oh I knew this would happen so transferred most of my dough to the husband. Heh.

I do also need to eat however.

The drag 2 is nice, I had a neighbor who had one. Good feel to it.

Hey thanks, Everzon has DragX for in $30.
You come across any FT coupons?


FT only does sitewide coupon sales every so often with non-coupon sales on specific products peppered in between. Maybe 15 sitewide coupon sales a year, if that. They don't put out coupons like the other retailers do. The only running coupon I've ever seen with fasttech is for batteries, flashlights, flashlight parts and maybe chchargers. I think the code is BLF and I think it's 5% off, but I don't know if it works anymore. It's an old code.

VapeSourcing sure has raised their S/H when purchasing items that ship from their US warehouse. They wanted $8 + change S/H for each Pico S Kit, no matter if you had multiples in your cart or not. Tried it with just 1, then 2, then with 3. S/H even on 3 was $25.72. Made each kit (using the EDMSPS code) end up back at only pennies less than the regular $26.99 per kit. Nope...backed out of completing that purchase.

Everytime I tried to order 1 it added 2 to my basket and wouldn't let me purchase 1. What a scam. Just as well. I already have one and can't really afford another one.

River Supply PureNic
My shipping costs more than the PureNic
Don't they have free shipping over 50$? I know the labware and nic is on sale, but glass ware adds special handling coat... And a Liter of 100mg wouldn't qualify for free shipping alone. They use fedex, so that is pricey... A couple of clearance concentrates should put it over the 50$ mark though...

Shipping for Liquids (heavy and bulky) and bottles (bulky) can be very expensive. Buying in bulk so as to reach free shipping thresholds is necessary to keep costs down.

Heartlandvapes has the most reasonable shipping prices among the nicotine sellers places I have compared. $8.50 UPS Ground and free shipping at $50.

MAP is one I forgot about as I never buy anything that MAP works for. Even after MAP coupon fasttech is usually too expensive on authentic mods and tanks anymore. Fasttech has become strictly a parts and accessories store for me.

I never heard of the "PRICECONTROL" coupon.

EDITED TO SAY: I checked and the coupon PRICECONTROL is still a valid coupon code in the Fasttech system. However what products it applies to, if any, remains a mystery.

VapeSourcing wanted $8 + change S/H for each Pico S Kit

YEP!!!...Just paid $24 shipping for 3 Sinuous-P80's from VapeSourcing...

But...PTMA is getting close...the Sinuous-P80 is my all-time FAVORITE Mod...they're OOS at most sites...and they were at least $9 more at the few sites that still have some...so I just swallowed hard and went for it...

On the other hand...I ordered them 8/29...they arrived 9/2...(and interestingly...the return address had a guy's name and a "private" appearing street in Costa Mesa, California)...

With the uncertainty surrounding the immediate future that's definitely a good buy, as it's one of your favorites. I was interested in the Pico S because it looked interesting but it was optional, so the added shipping put it out of the bargain hunt for me. Perhaps we will still get some good deals from China in the future but that's not a bet worth making with a device you really enjoy.

Then it sounds like the P80 was definitely a good purchase for you.

On the other hand - I don't know if I'd like a Pico S or not...didn't matter if it was/wasn't OOS other places...nor if they were more or less elsewhere...I didn't need it (I already have more than enough for myself and several others)...so I backed away. :)

About this: it had a guy's name and address in CA on the package
That's the guy who actually receives shipments of stuff from VS when it comes in to CA. They then put the stuff on their website as being at their "US warehouse" location (his home or storage building). He got the extra $15+ of the S/H you were charged...above the approx. $8.40 it actually likely cost to have it mailed to you. Packages I've gotten from them had a guy's name & address in CA on them, too.

He's probably the guy who has my 3 purple Eleaf Pico Squeeze 2 Mods that made it there from China...then mysteriously disappeared when they were picked up from the airport in LA. There wasn't even a new tracking number for the package, as there always is, once it's turned over to the USPS for final delivery from there. That's because he never relabeled it and turned it over to them.

@Uncle - After 2 months of those Pico Squeeze 2 not showing up ...PP refunded me. I ended up ordering other colors from 2 other vendors, and our mutual ECF friend sold me a NIB duplicate purple one she had. So, thanks for being optimistic that things would work out. They did in the end. :)
