thats what I have done. remove the hard drive (easy to do) and disposed of the rest
there is a ton of videos on youtube (even my sarcastic one along with 1 or 2 others) and plenty of info to be had. personally if a video runs beyond 5 to 8 minutes I wont watch it or will skip thru to the parts I want to see.
loud and crazy is an instant dump out for me and Is why I wont watch drip tipper" videos
maybe I'm old but I dont want to see a guy doing a video that has to vape off and on thru it, or go off on side tangents about this and that, just the facts, in, out, done badabing! anything more is extremely annoying

I think I would like to try this...Aspire Nautilus

thats my biggest problem... no one seems to see or find me. (google rankings suck) i have had several contests and sales here on ECF and our home thread seems to stay toward the top of the list most of the time the past several months thanks to loyal Cactinians
when I google search my site I see many links to Florida for some reason...
my sales demos show that 90+% of my customers are east of the mississippi...
and most of my customers, the majority actually are 50+_
Oh no! He was so cute! They are all so adorable! I love the bag on the head
My Mom and Dad still have my Abbi. I got her the summer before my senior year of highschool(summer 04), and when I went to college I could not take her. When I finally got a place where I could have pets (2 years ago) I decided to leave her with my parents because she lived her whole life there and I was afraid what a big change like that may do to her
This is my Abbi:
Powerband.....I just realized you are the vendor (or from) [emoji5] I have no idea why it did not click in my brain! Lol
Yup, thats me Ha Ha! the one and only sole proprietor.
Saweet! she is very much like Oliver another distinguished lil gentlelady!

As long as they are not swollen or show discoloration signs. What you will see is that they don't power your device as long as they used to. I have some 18350 and 18650 ICR (GASP!!!
the 300 to 500 charge cycles is very misleading when it comes to expecting that from vape battery use. the cycle rate is for nominal useage like in a flashlight or low wattage devices. the cycle life is dependent upon use and exposure. a person using a rda with low - subohm ohm coils can expect 1/2 or less life than a person vaping in the 1.5 to 2 ohm range. exposure to temerature extremes will also influence the life cycle of a battery.
just assume that if a battery says 300 to 500 charge cycles be happy if you get half that & exstatic if you get even close to that

Well lets see, You come in your shop and you hear Duke Ellington in the background. You have a John Wayne poster hanging off a side wall and your stock is in the open with friendly prices, not to mention the coffee, muffins and donuts you have for your customers.... You greet each one and act like you have known them forever....
smiles
You hang to the right, (politics not your stuff) so the west cost Liberals (not all) would rather buy overpriced items and look cool and be Hipsters.....
But really being the first post of the day after deciding NOT to do quotes and have to go back a millions pages to read the new stuff afterwards, I find that I really would want or need..........
Mod Batteries
As a famous person once said. Some old Greek guy, I think.
"You can always have too much stuff but you can never have too many batteries....."

I do too, as long as weather isnt a factor it should be.
the guys at the post office this morning were talking about delays due to weather. they told a lady that was sending stuff up north in the state 150 miles would not get there until Wednesday or Thursday IMO thats just crazy.
I sent a package to your state for another customer today that I expected to be there Wednesday at the latest and the postal slip said Thursday
It has been a while since I have seen you on here
Hope everything is going good! Did you mean iclear16? If so, I know what you mean. They are similar to the CE4s, except they are better than the CE4s! Lol I really like bottom coil tanks! The coiks last longer, and I can rebuild them or rewick them when they wear out! I have thought about getting an iclear 30, and I would love to try the one that I posted earlier that I wanted!
I think I'm lucky. The only two real B&Ms I have ever been to were only a few doors from each other, so they both needed to compete for customers.
Neither one of them was overloaded with merchandise, but one had a really nice selection of the most expensive juices to sample, and both were very accommodating. I guess they knew that if they weren't, you could just go a few doors down.
They were out in Rochester, (Greece), NY, and right near Phil Busardo's house. Apparently he goes to one of them all the time, and so does Zen. Too bad I can't watch YouTube. I've never seen Phil Busardo, but it was kind of cool to go to the store where he hangs out. I wish I had had time enough to go to Zen's, because it's supposed to be pretty neat!
Anyway, I know what you mean, if either of them had acted like the ones in the second store you went to, I wouldn't go back there either.
I sure wish I could watch Youtube, it would be interesting to see what you all are talking about! I think I must be in the minority though, I really like step by step instructions, rather than watching something. That way, when I get ready to actually do it, I just look at the pictures on my computer. I can't imagine having to load a Youtube video and sit through 20+ minutes every time I need to refresh my memory. (I did try to watch a video or two on my phone when I was out in NY over the holidays, but they were so long)!!!
I actually got really tired of the few that I tried to watch when I was in NY too. I never did get all the way to the end of one.

so is another iStick 20w, the same as a regular iStick 20w??? does it say another.... 
But besides the point of normal or another, thanks Bruce for adding to the prize pool. mmm, if I had a pool it would be an ice pool.
On the iclears, I really like my Iclear30S, as it has been mentioned, the coils last a long time, easy to clean and really is the best clearo innokin made....

Yeah, that's why I never got to the end of the ones I tried to watch. Half of the videos weren't anything relevant. I felt like they were taking too much of my time, and I could have learned more by reading.

Ha Ha Tick!
yes, first prize is an iStick 20 and a choice of tanks, second prize is just the IStick 20
I'm kinda thinking I used up all my posts in that story.
Google rankings can be a gotcha, but if most of your customer base is in the 50+ range (not me, by the way), Florida sounds about right.
I'm all for Duke Ellington and The Duke.
As for multiple bloodsucking arachnids (poly-ticks) I used to lean way to the left. However, it's the left trying hardest to put the whammy on vapers. Starting to tilt a little back towards center, I am.
I think the four things I want most from any b&m - vaping or no - are customer service, knowledge, selection at reasonable prices, and subtle background music if any at all.
To wit: Be friendly and offer assistance in reaching the customer's stated goals. If there is truly a better way, gently explain what it is and why. Reacting with incredulity or derision wins no points with me. Assuming you know more wins no points, either (more on that later).
Know the products and prices - especially in a small shop such as those I've described - without having to resort to a computer or calling for help. Having the prices marked goes a long way here. Knowing the product's specs and capabilities is also important. I will buy local if they at least pretend to compete. I would have paid $45 for the iStick 30. I would have paid $40 for the K-box if they had offered a battery with it.
If I want my ears assaulted with obnoxious music, I can go clubbing. Do not assault me in a retail environment. Even Walmart is better.
The more on that later... I walked into a local computer store, smartphone in hand, and asked for a specific type of RAM. The owner turns away from me, and logs into Amazon, searches for the product, and the quotes me double the Amazon price and tells me he can have it here in a week. I will not go there again because he, perhaps inadvertently, insulted my intelligence. If he had said "I don't have that in stock, but I found it at xxx for $yyy." He would have earned my respect and my business.
Running a business puts everything in a whole new light when you're a consumer.

I scratch my head that more people here on ECF dont wander on over to the site or home page... perhaps we're "squares" Ha Ha!
