???? Do tell please!

Night Tas & Case.
When they still had lead times out to 4+ weeks of orders still unshipped, they held a sale on glvs and offered no compensation to anyone who had been waiting all that time, jays customer service on the forum was anywhere between mediocre and downright rude, they fubar'd a huge number of the orders for paint jobs and finally ended up introducing preorders for another new model before the back orders were caught up. It just gave me a really sour taste to even watch it go down.

it has only just started hanging out with this crew make is very hard to controle the inner mod ......

I am a female not an it. ;)

Beth I think Jay was referring to "it" as the influence hanging around this group has on people making them want more and more mods lol

I've done pretty well resisting it myself so far...my Provari and GLVSM have kept me pretty happy so far. The only one I've really been tempted to go after is a Helix, and that was only after seeing Laurel's in person.
tanks on the other hand...well..you can never have too many tanks :D

It is a problem. I have P+ 18500 now and a reo mini on the way, and I kind of want an empire, a p+ 10440, a GG of some sort and possibly even a provari. I probably won't buy any more of them unless the price is really right or I find a niche they fill, but... It's a hell of a bigger list than it used to be.

My bad Jaybo. Sorry.

Dont be sorry we are all family here.. No apology needed.
I know it gets old when people cant figure that out with the screen names.
I knew you were a female because i beleive you were in on the three pages of man bashing over at the vacation spot.

orkira - you should ask Tif (um tybin) how many mods she has. Sit down first though because she has a LOT and I don't want you falling down. Personally, I have a Karma, a BB, a ProVari (it's brand new), 2 Silver Bullets, and 3 Phidias'. I think tybin is up to 11 Phidias' IIRC. I have 2 Lavas and 2 Magmas for my mods.

constant state of confusion
And Beth you can always ask any of us about our experiences with any mod you are interested in buying before you buy. I think we have had this discussion before :). I have been through at least 32 different mods.....many I wish I had never bought.

and I should probably go to bed....night LavaCorps

Nice! I have one the Aloha. I'm thinking though my first mod after the holidays are over is gonna be a purple Silver Bullet. I like vaping at 3.7volts with my juices I have so think this would be my best bet for a 2nd mod out of the 3 I would like.

Morning lavacorps!

Ok. I need some advice on what to buy next. I see that there has been some discussion on mods last night. I'll go back and catch up. But, first, I've been vaping very happily on my lil 'ol egos for quite some time. But, now that they've discontinued the 1.5s, I think I have to move up. (Ikenvape 1.6 SC clears are my favorite carto, but can't use them in the lava tank. :( . I have some LR Fusions on the way to try again.) And I have the 1.7 smoktechs on the way.

But... I think I need to move up to higer voltage. But, I certainly can't afford all of these awesome mods all you folks have. I'd like to keep it as a tube mod.. inconspicuous... I work in a federal gummint building.

My main problem is that I don't know if just going to true 3.7V will do it for me. I have a 5V passthrough... which gets a little too warm sometimes. But, that's on 1.5 to 1.8 cartos..

Do I go with an epower? heard of switch problems, etc... And... if I'm going to buy something, should I go a little higher?

What's this lavatube? New... right? I don't really like trying new things.. But, maybe.

I've looked at roughstack. Not sure that I like the button on top with the tank.

I know VV is probably the way to go, but can't really find anything I can afford. I've heard a lot about the buzz, SB, precise(s), and of course the provaris and darwins. Most of which I couldn't afford. And, I have watched the classy's, but I really would like to by a mod from a vendor.

Ok... Sorry... I know I ramble... But, my egos have lasted me over a year and treated me very well. Should I just make a small step up? 3.7v?

Is there a 5v that is reasonably priced? (for us po folks...) Is there a cheap/good VV?

I would really appreciate as much advice as possible. I've grown to trust you folks and it sure seems like you've tried just about everything out there. :)

Now I'll go back and catch up on this thread.

Edit: Anybody here have something that is gathering dust that may fit my needs? I'd rather buy from a vendor. But, if it is somebody that has a good reputation with you folks, I may consider.

Morning Pizza, have you looked at a Little Sister VV mod? They are super small and go for between $73 - $76 with the vari-cool option. My batteries would last approx. 4 to 5 hrs. and that was with pretty heavy vaping.

By the way, o-rings were mailed yesterday, so hope they reach you soon. Seems USPS is running behind tho, as usual for this time of year. My pkg. from Ill., that I usually get in 2 days, still doesn't show it has reached Mich. yet. :(
