I know that we have moderators in our group or long long time member's. The question I'm about to ask is really really off topic. I remember a time when members were able to host group buys and auctions. I know group buys got banned for unfortunate issues and problems. Can member's host auctions for brand new kits put together by the host...
I's there any information on this subject?

    The last group buy I was in was back in 2019. It was not held here. Although we were all friends, it seemed like a logistical nightmare/workload for the one doing the actual hosting. In the end, everyone was happy.

    I know of way too much shady business with randomized drawings (waffles) for new products, so I steered clear of those, also not here.

    It appears the last auction information I found was dated back to 2010 for a deceased member. The auction was held by a member called Joker. I remember the name on UK Vapers, Ecf, and possibly Vapepit.

    If possible it would have to be using a link or host website that everyone can see the actual numbers being randomly selected with no hocus pocus.
    I do remember waffles that only the inner group members would always win. I'm not going to say who but they're still doing the list thing on fk'book...

    Hey everyone. Just joined the forum but a long time vaper.
    I got my first boro device (Stubby 21) a couple of month ago after living happily with a DOTaio for a year. Stubby is a big pain for me, the paint comes off like nothing and I had 2 faulty boards already in 5 months.

    So I'm looking into getting a new boro mod. Any opinion on Raga AIO or SAN Aio with DNA board? I would also look in to a BB but the walkarounds to connect it to PC are not something I look forward to. If you have any other recommendation I'm open to anything under the BB price if the quality is good (Unfortunately Mission XV Astro is too expensive...)

    Welcome Banchuk, You will see posts here of some very nice boro mods. Some have even built there own BB's. I have been using a VANDY VAPE PULSE AIO V2 80W KIT, simple beater. I know there are some here with a Raga.

    Welcome Banchuk, I have over a dozen Stubbys and I only know of one other person who said the same about his paint. One of mine looked like the paint was coming off too. But it turned out to be some sort of artifact that appeared and cleaned right off with a general purpose cleaner. And none of my boards have failed. And I use a few of them all of the time including right now.

    I have lots of other boro styled AIOs too. Two latest ones are two Ethos Dual 18650 (weighs about the same as a Stubby 21) and two San AIO DNA80C. Both are very nice too.

    Hi @Banchuk and welcome.
    I've got a Raga - vaping it now - and like it. Typical Aspire, it is well designed and built. I don't get much condensation and the board seems fine to me. The Age/Qbix rba that comes with the kit is a good one if you vape RDL. Very easy to wick and doesn't leak.

    There are plenty of AIO options out there -one good site to check out is 3fVape.

    That Advken FOB is not really my style, and there are a couple boros where that end above the USB-C connection is blocked like the cthluhu 520, Limelight, PRC. Failing that, a simple rubber cover works as well.
    Unless it's a DNA mod or has a lipo I'd prefer no USB port.

    Probably I just got a bad one. I even managed to strip a panel screw somehow...

    What color San do you have?

    That's good to hear!
    I do have SteamShell which I will probably use in the new device and I'm waiting for XO by wick'd but I'm always interested in trying other bridges!

    In terms of 3fV, I do order tips from there but never ordered a device. I'm always interested in a detail comparison between an original and "style" device
