Something is very BROKEN with our Prescription supply chain:

"For example, production costs are estimated to be $0.28 per day for Lopinavir/ritonavir (used for treating HIV) and $0.28 per day for hydroxychloroquine (used for treating malaria and rheumatoid arthritis). However, these and similar drugs retail for up to $510 per course of treatment in countries like India and Pakistan where drug costs are strictly controlled -- and up to $18,610 per course in the U.S. where price controls are lacking."
Our friend at the FDA bear much of the responsibility for this by making it illegal for anyone, whether a reseller or a consumer, to arbitrage these price differences.

How do you fix a BF'er? Put a tank on it :lol:

Finally! a Red X I was beginning to wonder if there were any BF'ers left out there?

I think I rathar like the 22 mm version of the Kayfun v5 better than the 25 mm version for my style of vaping, I just wish it held more juice.

The K-F V5 is a great RTA! It has just enough Air Flow to do a restricted LH, it's a solid design & consistently works well :) My 5.2's (ulton) have a very short 510 pin & are very limited to the mods they will work on :( Even thou they are great performers with more air flow than a V5, the constant resistance issue's from the short 510 have caused me to abandon mine :( I see now there is a new 5.2 SE, only difference looks like a wider DT, & a different tank section. I'l pass on this offering & stick to the V5 :)

If there is an insulated cup for the 510 pin, just make an o-ring from 26 or 24ga wire to go under the head of the 510. That fixes Steam Crave gear with short 510s to make them hybrid safe. ;)

The 510 is really uncomfortably short :( I have made mods to it that Do Work, but it's a hassle :( I like the TC & a solid contact is Key! It's really too bad cause it's a good atty :)

    I miss Ephraim, he was one of those harmless nut jobs that added some daily humour. :thumbs:

    Unlike the BS drama that went on in the shiny thread a week ago. You'd expect that kind of stuff in the mech threads, but in shiny, come on...

    Edit Add: One has to look at whose giving out the X's as well... :lol:

    We had a member in the shiny thread dropping X's all over the thread, until classy gave him a good hard slap. :D :thumb:

    I don't think we have ever had moderation in here or in the Rayon thread. :thumbs:

    OK. Somebody mentioned a 4S LiPO a while back. I have two DNA250s with Turnigy NanoTech batteries in them and both are puffed to the point where they force the case open, magnetic closures. I just went back about 40 pages worth and couldn't find the link to that battery which had excellent reviews if I remember correctly and it wasn't a Turnigy. Help!

    Yeah, I noticed that and found the 4S I wanted, 2200mah. I hope they hold up longer than the NanoTechs, only 80 cycles on them and they look like blue pillows. They get charged using the onboard charger of the DNA250 and a 2 amp wall wart so that shouldn't be a problem at all.
