i finally got a shipping confirmation from ghostmodder last night. it only shows receipt of electronic notification. hopefully it finds its way to the mail mon. I ordered the 28th. :)

my kayfun lite should be here mon... 3 days, from Germany! gotta love intaste.

I wouldn't count on it. I got something like a 5 day delay between electronic notification and him shipping it.

What you get from ghost modder?

brass stealth cap for my mkb ts. I know, I know, but the gg ts is never in stock. also my clone (after modding it) hits harder than my gg stealth in '350 mode.

I wouldn't count on it. I got something like a 5 day delay between electronic notification and him shipping it.

you know! im not bothered by vendors like AIV that take what seems like forever to ship. at least they tell you in advance. hey its going to be 10 to 12 days before we ship. im OK with that, because I knew that going in. im a little irritated with the other guy. what can I say im only human. :)

There is soon to be a huge pre order on all gg and there should be another release of of the tubes here very shortly. I have been lucky but as you know you have to be active in the gg threads to know about releases.

ive gone as far down that rabbit hole as I care to. imeo has great products, and some of the stuff he has came up with is amazing, but ive moved on for now. ive finally realized I prefer bottom buttons. maybe because my first mod was a prodigy; followed by an icon. neither were what anyone would call beautiful, but they were great for what I was using at the time.

im going to be onboard the nemesis train, hopefully this week. :)

Heading to shop to polish a bead blasted GGTS that I recieved in trade a while back. I liked the finish(guy had vape n shine do work) but it is to soft and marks up easily. You may know I am OCD, if not, you will tire of it at some point.

Interesting. I've never media blasted a GGTS. I sent you a PM.

I've heard JC West say he thinks there may be a health risk when using a genesis with brass nuts and a brass center post. Is there anything to back that up?

Not really. The concern with brass is that it's often alloyed with a small percentage of lead to make it more machinable. Current US and European restrictions require that the lead % be very low (sorry I forget that actual percentages off the top of my head).

If you are concerned about ANY lead, no matter how small the percentage, you can soak the brass parts in a solution of 2 parts white vinegar and 1 part hydrogen peroxide (3%). This will remove any surface lead from the brass.

You can also get lead test kits if you're still concerned.

Edit: For the record... It's not uncommon to have lead in SS alloys either... So unless you know what SS alloy a product is made from, buying SS doesn't guarantee you a lead free product.

How's their shipping? Rates & Timeframes.

The shipping was 9 euros. Don't know about the shipping time. They have many followers on the GG board. This is my first order with them.

Didn't want to wait on the next preorder list, just to wait a few more months to get one. Got for retail at 135 euros plus the 9 for shipping.

Vassilis owner of guru is one of the greatest suppliers. He is a fantastic man that cares about his customers. I order regular from him and he has taken care of me and my buddies like Kings. regular shipping is around 10 days and expidited is much less.
I had post office damage once to an item and it was packed and padded(looked like an arrow went through it!) and he followed with a brand new item, no questions and didnt want the old back. He and Imeo/gg are close friends and talk daily and if you know Awesome Imeo he thinks very highly of Vassilis.
GO GURU!

its only been part of 1 day, but i think the kayfun lite may just be the greatest piece of vape gear ever made! if you don't have one, get one, you wont be disappointed! i finally have a usable tank. i hate carto tanks, a genesis is only good when your at home because they leak. the kayfun rocks!

Well said !
