And I contacted them as well. The return reply was that they had 128 bit military encryption on the software and that I probably have a key logger or a downloggger on my iPad. So I researched that and every site I went to said that that was virtually impossible unless it had been jail broke. This iPad was brand new when I received it and was purchased at the Apple Store. Me thinks he was trying to throw the blame elsewhere.

Yes, your iPad is completely safe. But please don't jump to blaming Got Vapes. When they submit a charge there are many different processing servers that it can go through. We've believed that one has been compromised for a while. I had my card stolen 3 times last year. There is a huge thread about it at Amazon if you'd like to read the explanations.

It is inconvenient to not have your debit card and many banks have different rules. I recommend getting a credit card that you only use online. Make sure that you have it set to not allow any international charges. I also have my card notify me of any charges made on the card. Bank of America has been awesome and each time the charges were automatically removed and they overnighted a new card. BoA also has an online service that gives you a one time use number that can't be connected to your account. But it does require a computer to use it. I've told them that they need a mobile app.

I'm still hoping my GS M will arrive today even though the tracking says it is in WI. :facepalm:

very, very reasonable especially if you could get them across the hall ;)
Tibs - do you have much trouble with breakage on the glass drip tips? I've not tried any, but there are some beautiful ones out there.

I love the Cherry Vapes pawn drip tips on the GS Air. The Ming is also very nice. They are $10 each but come with a free lifetime replacement. I've dropped many tanks and had to get the tips replaced 4 times! Awesome service. You do need to polish them if you want a brighter shine. They have a video showing how to do it. It's just white toothpaste on a dry washcloth. I've bought 2 that were polished ($18) and they are gorgeous but you can get the same shine yourself.

For top of the line tips Molehill Mountain Drip Tips are beautiful. I've had many custom made to match tanks.

If you've never bought a drip tip I would start with Mad Vapes or your favorite online vendor (if you want one faster and cheap) or Fasttech if you don't mind the wait. Mad Vapes is about $2.99. I prefer acrylic since it doesn't get hot. Fasttech has tons of drip tips for under $2. Some tips don't fit tight on the Air and you may need a larger O-ring. Cherry Vapes and Molehill Mountains both fit snugly.

I don't blame GV at all. I know that any business online now are subject to criminal people. It's the nature of the society we live in today. I'd order from
GV again. However, I won't order from any online company going forward using my personal debit card. Too many deadbeats out there that want something for nothing.

Driptip Designs is a good one. Pricey though. I got mine from
FastTech. They're cheap so if my battery falls and they break it's no big deal.

Me too, I'm a cheapskate. That's why I will order from the orient and wait eons on something to save a quarter :) Plus I would be hard pressed to put a drip tip on an atty that cost less than the tip did. :) I know I know I'm weird.

FT is loaded with some nice $ (cheap) tips. A lot of the short or muffler style tips are made from an odd glass that isn't so prone to breakage. It's almost a plastic. If I didn't know it, I'd swear it was. I like the glass because it doesn't impart a taste (like metal) and isn't subject to tank cracking juices like acrylics can be. I lost several acrylic tips due to fact I like banana and citrusy type flavors. That's also why premium acrylic tips are made with ss 510 connections. Stone is another good neutral material. A lot of people like wood - I haven't tried those.

There's reasons why premium tips are $20 and up and I won't go back. They last for one. They fit for two and they really do make a mod look special. Yea I think tips can alter heat and flavor too.

I can't stand the taste of metal. Maybe not everyone can taste it, but I sure can. The shape and material can alter your vape.

If you don't want the wait time from FT, check out Desert Vapes for a good selection, specifically 'jerry can' and muffler glass styles. Very reasonable. Best deal on the net for tips IMO.

Premium tips are an investment. Like a piece of art.
Trippy Tips still reign supreme (check out their facebook page). Raven's tips are still on Etsy. Another one to look up is Envision for glass.
Acrylics; Molehill Mountain (good luck getting one), Drip Tip Designz, Mystick, Screamingfromthegallery (Gallery Tips on Facebook), Angels Heavenly Designs. Pinnacle (Lewis Gentry through Discount Vapes),
Bully Mods and Drip Tip Designz offer Tru-Stone tips.

510 connections aren't alike. Kanger tends to have odd sizing. All of the premium tip makers have to mill their own ss 510 connections to fit so they are labor intensive.

A warning with FT or cheap drip tips is to check the reviews. Some of them are odd sizes, off center or generally misshapen in ways that don't show up in pics. They are still worth it but you may have to order several styles to get one to fit right. And if you like tank cracking juices, the cheap acrylics may not even last for a single tank before breaking off.

I LOVE my tips!

I have some super cool looking drip tips, but they are not comfortable to vape with.
I'm not too picky, but I would have to "test drive" a drip tip before buying.
I can certainly see if someone had a preference or wanted something a little more stylish than standard equipment.
I have seen some pretty cool ones here on peoples gear!
That's what's great about America, you can put your stamp on just about anything you do!

Then you and I are weird together! I looked at some MM drip tips and they were $39.99. I thought dang, put $10 with that and I can have an atty AND a battery to power it. They're nice to look at but not so nice when dropped on concrete or ceramic tile or my grandson knocks the whole setup off the table. I'll take $2.99 please! Lol
