Thanks for all the feedback on the Zuess.
I think I will stick with my fused clapton TI coils on my Merlins and Aromamizers.
Money is tight anyway, I just got tempted by the rave reviews, but after seeing the mouthpiece I suspected it probably isnt right for me anyway. I like a good strong, restricted airflow, MTL experience.

Do you have everything you need in case everything vape related is removed off of the shelves next month? That is the important thing. :unsure:

Since all of these vape bans popping up everywhere, smoking is reported to be on the increase and it is only going to get worse. :cry:

Yep, pretty much all set. Dozens of ERM/ERM+ enclosures, plenty of DNA boards, dozens of attys with spare parts, and a little more nic than the average bear. Breaking those 2 glass tubes triggered a red flag as that left me with just 7 spare glass tanks, so I ordered 10 more spares just in case. The mini Merlin is just for my shirt pocket Mod when out and about, I only have 1 of them in my rotation plus 4 NIB. Try as I might, I couldnt find anything else vape related to add to the FT order.

Glass tubes are something I am sure will be source-able forever though. As long as you know the OD/ID and length. They will just cost a lot more.

How mush $ is it in the US? At FT it was $29, I got mine in Canada for $40 CAD = $30 USD :) The Canadian site I used has a deal were they give free shipping if you buy a Vuse Vype starter kit $12.99, Shipping = $10 So for $3 more I got the free shipping & the starter kit, I gave away :) I got it in 2 Days! :) At the Canadian site I had to pay the Tax :(, but our Government needs the money rite now! This Virus has put us( Canada) in debt up to our Eye Balls! :(

    Aah Steamer. It's also a ripe time for abuse of the system.
    WE Charity scandal, say no more with many big name companies running away. Federal government corruption in plain view, and the THIRD ethics inquiry for our good looking Prime Minister. :nah:
    A farmer friend of ours that needs help is getting University aged applicants. They want $25 per hour CASH to work so they can keep getting their Government payment. :nah:
    We know a lady well at Canada Post. Know her family, been to her house, kids did volunteer hours, blah blah blah. She's seeing an influx of people coming in for mailboxes (Shopper's). They also put the mail in them. The new one's are filled with CERB Government cheques. :nah:

    I look at it a bit different than you Do, We (Canada) needed a huge $ injection in our economy. The best way to do that? Give away Free $ to those who will spend it! The CERB will Not last for ever! IMO it could have been worse! they could have gave huge Tax breaks to Corporations! that would have not got the $ were it needed to be :)

    I worry for those that truly need it, and small business owners and their employees. Yesterday we drove through downtown Oshawa at 3pm (GM plant WAS in Oshawa). It's in a sad state with many small stores closed or shuttered. Just the odd .... head or drunk stumbling around. I'd say almost deserted. No cops, few people.
    On the bright side, some portion of the GM plant is back open and manufacturing PPE equipment :)
    YES we need to get money moving, and it's difficult to target areas/people/industries in need federally with proper oversight.

    Many sectors of the economy have been hit Hard! We went out for super the other night, there were 4 tables at this restaurant being used on the patio, the rest were empty! I may not know much about restaurants but I know they cant survive on that amount of business :(
    All we can hope for is this virus goes away! & the economy can start to rebuild :)

    $25.99 at LoadUp Supply. I also ordered a rainbow one too, because spending $50 gives you free shipping. I already have two SS, a blue, and a green from HealthCabin. I didn't really want blue or especially green, but that is all they had when I ordered the first time. Speaking of HealthCabin, I must be on their Wholesale Program. As I don't think anybody else sees the X Mesh for $19.44 SS and for $21.58 for the colored ones, do they?

    At the Canadian site I had to pay the Tax :(, but our Government needs the money rite now! This Virus has put us( Canada) in debt up to our Eye Balls! :(

    I'm afraid it is worse than that. All small to middle size businesses worldwide are bankrupted. Only leaving large corporations left to control everything! :(

    What worked for 500+ years was to quarantine only the affected people. While everyone else it was business as usual. But apparently no government really wanted to quickly end COVID. :(

    Not all! I own a small business & I'm doing all right :) This virus affected sectors of the economy differently, some really negatively & some not so much!
    In my city the housing market is on Fire! Every thing is selling like hot cakes!
    I sub contract for developers who build new houses & their scrambling to get as many new houses built as quickly as posable rite now :) Needles to say this works out good for Me :)

    Yes some businesses like TP manufactures, cleaning supplies, large grocery stores, etc are booming Steamer861. But that is due to the crises. :(

    Have to disagree Bill! No one is using more TP or eating more than they were before the Virus!
    Maybe the manufactures of Face Masks & hand sanitizer are seeing a rise in sales?
    Small to medium sized business run the economy! Even the worst Hit will rise from the ashes & live another day after this is over :) Into every ones life a little rain must fall!
