How did you find out you had to spend $40? I haven't gotten a second email.

This was the content of my email:

Clicking on "here" took me to another page with the amount of lucky money and the minimum purchase. I clicked on it again to see the terms and it gave me another lucky money code, lol. This one good for $1 off a $5 purchase.

Congratulations! You got $1.00 Lucky Money.The minimum amount of consumption for your order should be reach to:$5.00 to apply this Lucky Money.

And this is the result of clicking the link the first time:

Congratulations! You got $8.00 Lucky Money.The minimum amount of consumption for your order should be reach to:$40.00 to apply this Lucky Money.

If I have to spend at least $40 I guess I'll have to see if there's something else I want too.

Any mech recommendations?

The Slug, if you don't already have one. The SXK Le Petit Gros/Hobo combo is pretty sweet but I don't know if Lucky Money works for US warehouse items - the SXK LPG and Hobo are probably two of the nicest clones I've ever seen.

The only mechs I've purchased from FC were the original copper SMPL clone they carried (which was great), the brass Slug, copper Slug, Dimitri, SXK Le Petit Gros/Hobo combo, IN'AX Nano, and 4nine. I also won the Special Edition copper Cartel clone set from a Wheel of Destiny spin. Only the 4nine was a piece of junk. Everything else was really quite good.

Of all those mods, I only have the LPG and IN'AX left. Everything else has been sold or given away - not because I didn't like the stuff, but I'm in the process of thinning the herd and trying to only add authentics from here on out. I'll likely purchase an OG LPG since I have an OG Hobo just waiting for a mod.

Ok, when I went into my profile it tells me I need to spend $35 and what the code is. It also says its invalid so I guess later I can use it. Trying to figure out if I can also use it with the 10% usual discount. If so, maybe I'll get a mod.

Got some clear polished bell caps in today to fit the Kayfuns on my Le Petit Gros mods

I'm really liking these tiny combos

I'm very impressed w/your Improvisational skills. Many folks would have thrown up their hands and accepted defeat. So good on you!!

thank you, mate! =))
not much improvisation: i got the origin for the switch to be used with tetris semovar tubes; that's why i was a bit obsessive with the switch.
good conductivity is a must for a mech, even if you plan to use a kick. efficiency is one of the words; the others are: versatility, aesthetic, comfort; the order is upon you.

I've tried several times to cash in on the FC Lucky Money by entering my email but I'm getting no love. Do I need to scan the QR also? Hope not 'cause I don't have that set up on a phone.

maybe some email systems have a security filter which doesn't allow to direct click on a web link into a message. try copying and paste in your inet browser the link you received in the message.

in theory it's allowed to use it in conjunction with a coupon code.
if you use usual discount coupon code (10%), you can add a maximum of another 20% from the lucky money code, supposing that you adjust the order amount to the minimum required. $40 - $4 (10%coupon) - $8 (20%lucky) = $28 (total of 30% off)

i've not tried many mods. the sxk stingray x (together with the 21mm -length- tube from ft, if sometimes using a kick) is the only indispensable for me.

I got $5 on lucky money, but as everyone is finding out, have to spend a minimum amount, I have to spend $25 to use the lucky money, also you don't have very long to use it either, lucky money is only good till the Mar 1st, don't use by then, then bye bye.

Not sure if going to use mine yet, not anything for $25 or above that really gets me wanting to checkout.

Thanks Nathan Somehow I had a feeling you might just like this combo

Definitely. Those do look really slick Marcus. You need some matching juice in the SS rig, lol.

I thought of that and tried one of my clear juices initially in the SS one but it looked empty , so I went with a red juice for some contrast instead

I really like how the Grandmaster juice matches the brass version. Kinda completes the mod color wise

 

[Nikkita6]

Check you out Haku! You are a modding Mastermind! The set up looks good too ... atta boy!

while re-inspecting the origin switch, found the way to raise/sink the whole pin section, besides of adjusting the throw. nice features.
so replaced the brass thin pin with the plated thick from the chi you flat top (this reduced the voltage drop in 0.15v).
this combo: origin switch (pin replaced), semovar 18650 tube, and stingray x top cap, got a voltage drop of 0.3v (1.1ohm, lg he2 4.11v)
also notice the short throw, not autofiring

semovar tubes are long (at least, the 18650 one). nice for 18500+kick, but you might need magnet spacers for a 18650 battery

Those look really really great Drifter! I have a couple of Bell caps on the way myself, was prolly gonna put it on the Five Pawns KFL .. and since I do have LPG still in package, I might have to bite your set dear

Thanks Nikki, I'm glad I can still inspire you This is actually my second round with getting bell caps to fit into my LPG's. The other set I ordered were just a hair larger than 22mm and wouldn't into them. Albeit the were for the KF4, they still fit my older Kayfuns. So at the moment I have plenty of bell caps laying around

I like the Red Juice / SS mod combo a lot too
Is my OCD going too far matching juice colors to mods?

 

[SlickWilly]

Willy did you get my loving pm?

Yes I did, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, been busy. It was the wife's birthday today and now I'm watching the grandkids. I'm interested to see what you think of that wire, they say it's easier to work with then the soft nickle wire. My DNA 40 board should be here in a couple weeks, then I can get to work on getting it in a mod, this TP is all new to me so lots to learn. I ordered the large screen board, it may not fit in the ZNA even with some milling. There is an interest thread for the new evolv DNA 25 TP board in the co-op section, I may end up ordering one of those in the small screen if the large 40 doesn't work out, I'll never go above 25 watts anyways.

 

[roxynoodle]

I might get the red VF. 67 - 6.70 (10% discount) - 7.00 (lucky money) = $53.30 or so. I'd like to get the Flash e, too, but I'm poor right now.

Not when it comes to good vapeporn darling ;-)

Oh you are forgiven .. the new large screen I think would be too big for the ZNA display area as is, but its great that you can also pick up another one of the regular size screen.

I will let you know if I feel the tempered nickel wire is easier to work with

Another CNY content detour...

I received my USA Ohm Meters 3D printed meter this morning and it is very nice. It is super light but doesn't feel cheap or fragile. Reads my SqR at .423ohm and my SX Mini reads it at .42ohm. It is super cool and probably one of the best vape purchases I've made.

Just thought I'd put it out there for any of my FC peeps looking for a nice, accurate, standalone 510 meter.
