My dad is a prize, to be sure. However, he was a single father (that doesn't excuse him) and he did try the best he could. He's actually mellowed out with age. He did some things right and it's not like I made things any easier, I had my own share of problems. I can't blame my father for my issues or my wrong choices in life, those were my decisions and I accept those, it's what made me who I am today. The trick is not repeating the cycle, for the most part (if not all), I am not repeating the cycle. The rest of my family is amazed (read pleasantly surprised) that I have become who I am today. I share a lot of experiences with a lot of people. Maybe we are lost soul mates?

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

Oh no no NO!!! don't go getting all mushy on me now...

 

[MustangSallie]

Yes, fortunately my father has mellowed with age as well, but only to a degree. Only two out of his four children will speak to him anymore, and it's been that way for many years. His anger and resentment is always simmering just beneath the surface. He's 76 and so I make allowances and try to have the best relationship with him that I can because I don't know how much longer he'll be around and I don't ever want to have regrets that we couldn't come together. He does make it difficult though. The last conversation I had with him was on Father's Day, and during our phone conversation he managed to hit on three "hot buttons" all in the space of 10 minutes. Piece of work? Indeed!

I'm like you, I don't blame any of my "issues" on anyone except myself. Once you're old enough for independence, you need to let your past go and grow into the person you want to be, not the person you were molded to be.

My 510 eGo kit and the extra sapphires are shipping today. I still have hope they will be here Monday.

They WILL be here Monday, won't they?

 

[Randyrtx]

They very well could be since you're so close.

 

[MustangSallie]

Yeah, I agree. I think they'll be here. I get packages from Ohio in 2 days, so NY to southern ME in 2 days is very possible.

Do I sound a little impatient?

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

Ahh just get a bottom feeder and be done w it...JK I don't even have a bottom feeder...LOL

oh thats right...you have stick batts...or am I confusing someone else...

 

[Randyrtx]

My Vision has turned out to be the most fuss-free carto I've used yet.

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

and what are they like?

 

[MustangSallie]

Yep, I mostly use my 808s. I also have a GoGo. I wanted to give this a try before I break out into bottom feeders or vv or any other kind of mod. I'll probably get there eventually though.

Hmmm, the Vision. NOW you tell me?

 

[Randyrtx]

Well... it's big. It's actually the same dia. as an Ego battery. The mouthpiece is almost identical to an Ego-T.

Good consistent performance. It compares to an Ego-T that's working well, except the flavor is not muted at all. Vapor is a bit on the tepid side, not warm but not too cool either.

I've been using this one for 8 days now, gave it one dry-burn so far, and the performance hasn't diminished at all. Very quick and easy to fill with a needle bottle, no need to remove the seals. I'm using it on a standard Ego and it's perfectly acceptable to me, but I think it would perform better at a higher voltage; some have said 4.2 is the sweet spot. I think the new VV Ego passthru wouuld be a perfect match for it.

But again, it's big! I still like "stick" size best, so I'm looking forward to the 808 Sapphires.

 

[MustangSallie]

Hey Neriah, how goes the on call duties so far?

 

[cigarbabe]

Kind of hard to take someone seriously when they use such colorful language. I've only ordered from gotvapes.com once and I was ready to defend their "honor."

Nate for me when I use that "colorful language" it's to emphasize how ...... off I am nothing more nothing less and I don't find that it takes away from the truth of what he's saying.
I found nakosa to be ...... the feck off and an honest "motha'".
Although I do get your point.

I'm not saying his feelings aren't justified or that his experience is any less valid because of the language he chose to use. I would probably be upset too. To me, his credibility as a reviewer took a nose dive. Two weeks is more than enough time for a vendor to correct a problem, but the review was just too "emotional" for me. It makes me wonder if he really was as pleasant as he says he was when the emails started going back and forth or if he was just sensationalizing the situation.

Nate is more civilized than I am. I don't take a good review seriously if they're not cursing like a pirate. ;-) -Magnus

I've already said pages ago that I still haven't been reimbursed for products that were sent back weeks ago and I really don't want to air my grievance here but since you're questioning.....
I'm having the same type of problem, minus the nasty pms and I feel like he did.
For the record badkolo has always been very respectful and I have assumed he is pretty busy but I should've had my money back a while ago, as soon as the products were received.
I sent them with a tracking receipt so I would know when they got there.

I agree. It should have been plenty of time. The one time I returned an order it took about a week for the money to show back up in my bank account. Hope they resolve it for you soon.

I did have rather good luck with Ikenvape with a recent order. I ordered some drip tips and some of their RY4 liquid. When I got the shipment there was no liquid. After making sure I had looked everywhere (maybe it rolled off under something) I sent an email. The next day I got an apology and a shipping notice. Don't know what happened but it was resolved quickly.

 

[Randyrtx]

I do hope they improve their customer support. I haven't had any problems but I know some have.

 

[MustangSallie]

Well, they did it. They have aggravated me enough that I broke my pledge to no longer post "over there".

So when you read this guys... bad, bad strategy... if you would have just stopped being so "you", I would have stayed away and that would have been one less member of the e-cig team to pick off. As it is, you just welcomed me back with open arms.

Hi guys,
can one of you please give me a hand with one of my members on NSF? She's asked about an ecig and I've posted to her that I'd get one of you guys to jump over and help her out.
