I ordered 2 boxes on June 30 and it was delivered yesterday. They did send me a nifty free eyelash curler!
My youngest daughter snagged that up real quick.

I think my Ti X #046 may become available if someone is looking.
As nice as this thing is I'm having a hard time justifying it. I don't want to take it out of the house and $500+ is a little much to just be sitting there.
...and after being bitten hard by the camping bug I'm now looking into trying to purchase a pop-up or other small camper.
I figured I'd throw this out here first before listing in the Classies as to give family members first shot.
There are some scuffs on the bottom of the button from standing up but other than that it's pretty much new.
The threads have been broken in very nicely and it doesn't bind at all.
I would be looking for what I paid + PP fees and shipping.



Last night Vapist were still showing stock of the Ti in the UK. I spent a few hours talking myself back out of that corner as, unusually, it was priced exactly at the same level as the Vapourart store! I do not like to say it out loud, but I could not justify such a rare and special mod being in my oafish hands

Today there are none left anywhere. You are holding the crown jewels and I do not think it would be too hard to find a buyer.

It is to your credit, that you only ask to break even on this. You have my respect.

hehehe, had to share this little one. So, my niece who is in her early 20's was at my house from yesterday. A few hours ago she was getting ready to go out and be social somewhere. Anyway, she's in a different part of the house getting prepared (i assume the bathroom, shower, makeup, etc. whatever) and I'm down in the basement vaping and online. She sends me a text asking me could I run to the store and grab her some cotton balls. Now, first of all, i found it amusing that she sent me a text instead of just walking downstairs and asking me face to face, but whatever. So, without thinking about my response, I send her a text back asking what kind of cotton balls does she want. She sends me a text back saying "huh???? Cotton balls!" Lol, i sent her a text back saying that there are some in the house and i will get it for her. Stopped what i was doing, grabbed some "stuff" in arms length. Hehehe, I grabbed some shiseido, japanese pads, organic cotton balls, some cellucotton and some qtips. Went upstairs and found her in one of the bathrooms. Knocked on the door and gave it to her. Interesting, she was not phased. She jumped in with both feet! She immediately analyzed all of the products i gave her. Immediately, the cc was dismissed with a "I'm not doing a perm, so i don't need that." Dang! She knew what it was off the bat! I had it labeled it in a ziplock sandwich bag, but still - geez. Then, she dismissed the japanese pads saying "I don't like they way those look." She proceeded to take the shiseido pads upon one glance and qtips. The funny part? She never looked at the 100% organic cotton balls that I gave her, which she originally asked for. She proceeded to hand me the 100% organic cotton balls, japanese pads and cc back saying "thank you!" with a smile as she proceeded to close the bathroom door. "No problem sweetheart, that's what I'm here for." I just went back to what I was doing laughing to myself.... :laugh:

Hey, a question or two. Assuming I can get a buyer for the KFL+ I have on the classies, I'm tempted to get a Spheroid.
I'm unclear about a couple of things.
Is it alot different from the Heron insofar as the nature of the vape? There seem to be some raves about it implying some of you much prefer it over the Heron. Maybe I'm misreading.
Is it lighter than the Heron? I'm thinking it might be more comfortable to have in my pocket. LOL, though I'll take the Heron out with me anytime over the KFL+.
From what I've seen here and in the tips and tutorials, it looks like it runs with silica only, true? (Not that this is an issue, just looking for understanding.)

Plus one on the efest LUC V4 charger. put my others away.

in my experience you havent put yourself in danger of damaged hardware. if theyre quality batteries, you shouldnt have anything to worry about, even if you run them really low. What I'm wondering is what type of charger you are using. I run my batteries really low sometimes, maybe below 3.0v on a 18490 lol, but theyre good quality batteries, i.e. real aw imr, real vtc, etc. Plus, i use an efest LUC V4 charger. This charger can be set for .5 amps/trickle charge to recondition batteries. That pila charger is crap. If you have that, throw it away or donate it to a noob. You need a real charger to see whats going on with those batteries....if you're noticing a decline in vapor/coil heat up, then maybe you need some new batteries. RTD is the main place to go for batts....

    I am by no means a Sphero expert since I just got my first one the other day. But yes you use different wicking material. I am using Sugar n'Cream yarn in mine right now and it works great. I haven't gotten my first Heron yet but I am real certain that the Sphero weighs a lot less. It was an absolute piece of cake to set the fluff up in and it has worked flawlessly since day one. I can't recommend the Spheroid enough. It blows the KFL out of the water and then some. Plus it looks oh so spiffy on my Microstick. I'm absolutely certain that the u-stick was designed with the Spheroid in mind.

    Now I'll leave the more detailed stuff for Idaholandho to answer since he could write a book on the little beast.

    Last night I found my Kick II and decided to give it a try. I got it almost 2 years ago and never was able to use it with my ELAs , so its been in a drawer.

    It works amazingly well on the X. Perfect performance. Really pleasant, I tried it with my 350 batteries ,but I dont think its a good idea to push it on 10V , plus it has a short lifespan either way. Its giving me quite a long run with the 490/ 500 batteries.

    the 350 batteries will be fine, because its 10 watts, not volts. The Kick wont produce nearly that high of voltage anyways. Enjoy short mode Pris! :)

    Good enough answer for me JJ! I have used about all mediums in ours from mesh, silica, cotton balls, etc. to KGD and many work fantastic. My somewhat recent plunge into cotton material only is one of the reasons I too use Snc cotton yarn. It threads right into my 1/16 coils and I love the sturdy characteristic.
    I will say, I do miss good silica and ekowool as imo there is little that compares. If you aren't hell bent on cotton I'd be happy to send some. I think I have around 20 yards of various sizes, lol.
    The weight is a bit lighter I, I'll go weigh them in a bit.
    The Spheroid experience is a cool one. An atomizer everyone should at least try.
    We have been rocking a couple on the Piccolos and a few on PAPS 350s every day for at least as long as I can remember.
    The Spheroid is a favorite of ours, always will be.

    The Spheroid is a smaller Heron.Period. With a couple of key differences...

    The Heron has a hybrid connection, a drip well, side AFC, and the cotton topper to hold the wick in place better.

    The Spheroid, in comparison, is perfect for all devices but fit especially well on ego-sized batteries or 14500 mods. They work on the same principle and I use exactly the same coil builds in both my Herons and Spheroids.

    The Spheroid does not have adjustable airflow and airflow accomplished by ports in the 510 connection. Holding the wick shape in the Spheroid is a bit more difficult as there's no cotton cap. The tank also threads on instead of popping on to o-rings like the Heron. SnC wicks hold its shape better in this application but I've used KGD and CC successfully as well.

    This Ti will NOT sit on a shelf. Pre gaming before heading to an Irish pub.
