Everybody knows you have to pay more to be the first.

Chalk it up to experience, sit back and have a nice vape, for the price difference I'm sure you've spent more on a mediocre bottle of juice.
Yes but, I'm not the first or even close. When I pre-ordered, Kangers homepage listed a big banner stating a March 15th shipping date. Obviously I ordered prior to March 15th. Latest update is sometime in April. So not only am I not going to get it first, I paid more to not get it first. Hence my frustration posts in every ProTank thread...

I also have an order placed at the Kanger site several weeks ago, I also ordered various other sundry supplies such as batteries and atty's. When I found out they were going to be delayed I just ordered from somewhere else too, now I have two on hold and two on the way. I have ordered supplies from China for years, regrettably you have to expect delays but they always come through in the end.

Rest assured, your wait will soon end, that's the thing I like about being older than dirt, you get used to the crazy way this world works and you don't get too upset about it, save your wrath for the important things like bad network programming or people texting while driving.

I do feel your pain though, it was hard to wait.....and a bit disappointing not to get my order sent out right away. I adjusted.

I get all that and if I felt I could justify more spending I would. Just can't. I really don't think I need a third ProTank anyway on top of the 10 EVODs I ordered. It's the point. Pre-order is suppose to be just that.

I'm not genuinely mad just frustrated...

Your signature says it all...2 months,4 days and 18 hours since your last cigarette. You have a lot to be proud of! It's what's really important and you are starting a new life. Bound to be a few bumps but you're a new person now and you'll do great! You've beaten the toughest habit ever known to man and that's something to think about when things get rough.

Good luck to you and may your order arrive swiftly!

I hope with all of your emotional investment you find happiness. It would be so sad, after what you've been through, to end up feeling...used.

I'm fine with being used as long as it's mutual beneficial. Kanger got hers and left. Not looking for a relationship, just an even trade. I didn't even get to fill a tank.
So yes, I guess I'm feeling used. It hurts. I didn't think emotions would come into play. Wasn't the plan...

I'm so sorry :( sometimes we end up caring more than we intended to...

I noticed on the other thread you asked me about cats. Were you asking if I'd worked with ocelots? Oddly enough (how psychic of you), I have worked with exotics, but only briefly with cats, and not ocelots (servals and bob-cats). Ocelots look really cool, and I know people have had them as pets, but one thing I learned from the exotics is that there is a big difference between a wild animal and a domestic animal - no matter how tame they are. It's not only temperament, it's biology.

I'd love to have an F1 Savannah Cat (that's a domestic with Serval blood), but they are hard to breed (Servals and domestic cats have some different biology), so run about $12,000.00. Not going to happen in my lifetime.

So I have Sera. She looks kind of like an ocelot in the right light, but is a ringer for a Bahraini Dilmun Cat.

Yeah I'm a sharp one. Sometimes I baffle myself. Beautiful kittygato. Had the smartest cat growing up. Orange tabby?I think.. Orange version of your cat... so affectionate as long as you didn't pet her stomach. She would sit and clean you, always slept on my top bunk and would wait for me to put my face at the edge then would lick my nose and rub faces with me as long as I left it there. Then would walk onto my shoulders and we'd walk around together like that... we'd eat nacho Doritos together.. miss her..

She had kittens. They were dummies. One of the fathers was this stray bobcat sized Orange long hair with one eye. So they turned out to be these huge cats but, not to bright. One actually caught an adult squirrel but, didn't know what to do with it. So it's sitting there staring at us with this squirrel flailing and screaming in its mouth. Eventually just let it go... sorry for the long read.. could go on and on...
