Don't know how I missed this! Looked for a sale like this for so long and can't find anything on the site I need. Already have a G2 & they don't carry the Slice & they are out of SDNA75.
Ended up w/:
smok alien Blue for $49.95 w/ 2)LG HE4 batteries w/25%off = $37.46
Luc Blu 6 Charger $29.95 w/ 25%off = $22.46
Crown 2 $15.00 w/ 25%off = $11.25
Rafael 4pk .20ohm SS Coil $8.25 = $6.19

Saving money is costing me a fortune.

Just wanted to say thank you again everyone for the help with my computer. Finally getting to the point where I have everything setup, all my programs installed and figured out where things are and how they work in Win 7. So happy with how fast this thing is, it's really amazing.

I had trouble installing XP Mode that was the free download for Win 7 users, MS stopped supporting XP Mode and there's not much useful advice on any MS pages. I gave up and installed www.virtualbox.org (free shareware) wish I had done this from the start, it has all the features of XP Mode plus more, even let's you use hardware and ports on the guest computer. With my setup I can run two virtual machines inside Win 7 without any of them or Win 7 slowly a bit, with three of them running it starts to lag like my old Vista did with 4gb of ram. But who's going to run more then one virtual machine at once, I did it just to see what would happen. I wanted to keep my Vista on a dual boot setup, but now I have it running in a virtual mode. :thumb: MS has free software that converts OS on a hard drive into a VHD file --> Disk2vhd With some more tweaking, figuring out how to configure the usb printer port in virtual Vista, I'll be able to use my old laser printer again and seamlessly through Win 7. Plus I hate the new Windows Mail Live, so I can keep using my old Windows Mail in Vista where it was already setup.
It's been a real pain setting it up but I'm so happy with this setup now! :thumbs:

Well back to The Walking Dead Can't wait for Sunday!

Just remembered the debate is on, switched over and discovered, I'm still watching the walking dead..... Switched back to AMC. Stop the world, I want to get off. :facepalm:

I need to binge watch Season 6 this weekend! Before the debate, I prepared for not-watching it by going to the range and sending down 200+ rounds of freedom. :D

I wanted to get to the club yesterday and put some round downrange but I just have too much that needs to be done before the snow flies and having a nice day to get some of those knocked off the list took priority. I know, I've got my priorities all screwed up. :laugh: I've been reloading for many years, I shoot mainly cast bullets in my handguns. This winter I want to get into casting my own bullets, I bought everything I need to get started and I have a huge stockpile of lead, just need to get at it. I'm going to go with coating the bullets instead of the traditional lubes, there's an easy and inexpensive shake and bake coating I read so much about on the castboolit forum. There's no lube messing up your reloading equipment and you don't have to worry about the hardness of your alloy which can be tricky, some guys tried using soft pure lead and they preformed well, not something you want to do but can. With this coating, you treat them more like a jacketed bullet, you can shoot them in a stock Glock barrel (polygonal rifled barrel), there is zero leading and it won't harm the barrel, actually the barrel run cooler.

Heads up, just got an email on a good deal for LG HE2's and HE4's at 101 vape, $8 a pair with $2 shipping. Ends on the 23rd but the website is slowwww loading so people might be hitting it up, better jump on it.
$8/pair of LG HE2! 101 Vape presents LG Battery FLASH SALE!

FYI, I checked the battery tests blog by Mooch, looks like the HE2's tested better then the 4's
"a very good battery"
LG HE2 20A 2500mAh 18650 Bench Retest Results...a very good 20A battery
LG HE4 20A 2500mAh 18650 Bench Retest Results...a good 20A battery but 25R5 is better

I've been buying HE2's and 25r's from Amazon for about $5 ea in lots of 4 for the last 2 yrs.

Well then there better prices out there then I thought. I haven't used either one yet, if you were getting ready to buy some, would you go with the $8 for two HE2's or spend a little more on the 25r's? Only mods I use them in is my 40's and 75's and I don't push em hard at all, looking for longer run time then high amp draw.

I hope to actually start reloading sometime this winter. I'm surprised there isn't a readily available polymer diy "mix" (similar to Syntech ammo) out there for plinking reloads. If I decide to get a .460 Rowland conversion for my 1911, I'd definitely consider casting my own bullets.
