Hey WV :)

The Iclear30 is the tank with the wicks showing (not a big fan of this one):

IC30-9.jpg


The Iclear30s was a huge improvement. tank looks the same but the coil is inside this metal tube:

th


I never tried the Iclear30b's mostly because I already was so happy with the30s's and I have plenty of replacement heads. But like you said, that new one does look nice and I may go for that one when my coils run out for the 30s. By then there will be a new better one though!! LOL It never stops! Oh, and I don't think I ever tried that Iclear16 that you mentioned. First one I got was the Iclear30.



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!

Running a business puts everything in a whole new light when you're a consumer.

Yea that right there ^

It makes me curious that vape shops dont mark prices, every other store I go into does. I think they are affraid of competitor spys or perhaps the have a "size you up" price for each customer, either way it makes me not trust right out of the hole.

on a FB group I belong to I post products and prices, no other vendor does, they just say they have "X" in stock the only time they quote a price is when they have a sale and it always matches mine or is a buck or 2 less but then their sale only lasts a day or a weekend where mine are 24/7, I also have maintained that I will meet or beat anyone elses price, I know that I can in most if not all cases but even w/that the crickets chirp and people go elsewhere.... I just dont get it, I really dont
I always try to stand in the buyers shoes... perhaps they are the wrong size or style :confused::blink:

Something completely different.
Was reading about all the old puters in folks closets. if you want some fun, pull them out and take the hard drive out. Open up the hard drive and removes the hard drive disk. It's very,very, very highly polished. get a nice plastic case and put the hard drive disk in it. put that in your "when I am sort of lost" bag. With the center hole you can look through the hole and use the shiny side to signal a plane. A lot easier if you can sight the plane through the hole. Think of looking through a ghost ring sight. Save all the tiny-tiny screws. Some might actually fit your RBAs. if they don't fit you can leave one or two laying around to feed "Mr. Owl" shiny things so he'll leave the important things alone. The magnets that make the pin float on the hard drive disk are super strong. use that to post the reminder notes on the fridge and they will never get lost.

Hope everyone gets a good Monday laugh from the Mr. Owl part.:D

NICE! RG Ha Ha! but the disc as a reflector and a sighting tool is spot on and something used here in the desert for those travelling out. great advice my friend!

I agree with you and Joan about the ones that get on your nerves and/or are obnoxious and full of themselves, they are definitely out there and they are not on my list either. In fact a lot of the videos I watch are by people that really don't have many subscribers and view counts. I just search and stumble upon something that I need help with and keep clicking until I find one that works for me.

I do still watch a few of em that get on my nerves, cuz they have good stuff to say and are thorough, and have a good camera/lighting set up. It does bother me to watch a very poorly made video, cuz I have old eyes and old ears lol

thats what I have done. remove the hard drive (easy to do) and disposed of the rest

Same here.......I've got a couple hard drives in storage that I took out of computers before I got rid of em. lol Not sure what I'll do with ever......I've heard you can smash em, then heard that don't work, there's still a part in there that they get stuff off of. <shrugs>

mmm, if I had a pool it would be an ice pool.

or a skatin rink!! :laugh:

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.

Wow........that was :censored:

I was bummed out the other day,i didn't think to check out your site until after i had ordered a few things.I usually buy 99% of my stuff off ebay so i always just check there first,after buying a few things,i looked at your site and found the same items i bought,at pretty much the same price,and from what i've read,sounds like your quick on the shipping,i cant say that about the people i just bought from,1 printed a shipping label the day after my purchase,but didn't send it out until a week later,and the other took 5 days to ship out.I have your site bookmarked now,so the next hardware purchase i make,i will check your site first,ebay is starting to cancel alot of vape related items anyway,plus i'm getting tired of waiting forever to get my stuff haha.

One glaring error in your video. The camera was in landscape mode, not portrait mode.

Another less glaring error. The camera was not noisily moved in a failed attempt to zoom in on something.

I really think they size the customer up too. If you are an experienced vaper, who knows what the product is, they probably give you a lower price, because they figure you know what price range they go for on the internet. If you are a newer vaper, who doesn't have a clue what they are looking at, they probably give you a closer price to what the original is priced at, and make you think you are getting a real deal!

I've never understood why ECFers aren't flocking to your site either. I've been buying all my stuff from you for a long time, because of the outstanding service, and great prices.

Probably I should do that, we go way up into the woods of Maine on the logging roads a lot in the summer. It might not hurt to have a signaling device with us! I do always leave my cellphone on with the GPS on when I'm up there, hoping it will help if something happens.

edit: I also know Morse code, which would help with the disk signaling thing. :)

At least I hope it is #4, ok hubby is feeling more himself now, threatening to leave ama even if it means he has to walk home. got the last of my vape mail in today, and it includes one thing I really really wish more vendors carried, battery boxes for the 26650 cells.
I meant to wish you well for your hubby when I was on last night.....I am glad he is ok :) and doing better.

That was great, Bruce! I have a couple suggestions, though:

1) You need a visit from your pet ...
2) ... better yet, have your pet make a loud, distracting noise such as barking or (if a cat), coughing up a hairball
3) Someone should call you on the phone in the middle...
4) ... or have your computer notify you that you have new email every minute or two
5) You need some distracting background music that's maddeningly too soft to hear clearly but loud enough that it distracts the viewer...
6) ... or have a TV on behind the camera that proves to be a distraction to you, the host.
7) Include a loud obnoxious intro scene that is at least twice the volume of the rest of your video
8) Include some sort of distracting visual in the background. It can be a poster of an annoying starlet or a computer monitor showing random pictures of zebras grazing in Africa
9) Initiate and repeatedly say an annoying catchphrase

If you were to include any or all of these in your video, I can guarantee that you will gather more views (or not!) :D
