Revenge for the premiums they have to pay for ProVari shipping?

Premiums maybe, but atleast they can order. I don't get places like Ahlusion in the U.S that won't ship to Canada. What's up with that?!

Ahlusion is not interested in growing and expanding so it's easy to cut off a whole country. Knowing your likes, I don''t think you're missing anything.

I was more interested in their Non Aros. And it's not my country he's cut off, he's cut off the rest of the world. :shock: No international shipping, period!

He (once) restricted his website orders and wasn't taking new customers. Wouldn't even let people create accounts. Must be nice to turn away customers...even in your own country. To each their own. That's what he wants so he's entitled. Personally, it was no loss to me as there wasn't a single juice I sampled (14 in all) that appealed to me.

With the popularity of the juices here, that surprises me. :confused:

What all did you try?

13 NETs (can't remember all of them) and one tea. The tea was the best of the 14 and it was just OK. And I worked over those samples more than any other samples I tried. I let them steep for a long time and gave them 2,3, and 4 shots. I had to see what the appeal was. Never found it. They all had the same base note in it...plasticky.

I got the samples from fellow members. GT, Chohan, Fantastic Nick, maybe one other.

    Precisely the reason I didn't try them , he was only open for 2 hours or till he reached his quota , whatever that was , he didn't need my business then so he ain't getting it now .

    Chak the 3.1 has an o-ring between the top cap and the tank , I figure it's a little more wear on that o-ring filling from the top , I took one look at that sideport on the FT 3.1 and figured that the valve spring would have to be tiny and that spells eventual failure to me no matter what you make it out of , always a chance of accidentally shoving debris in there as well if you shove your mod in a pocket like I do . Don't know why flipping the atty upside down should be an issue for Dusty , ya gotta flip the KFL upside down to fill or go through the top either way ya gotta flip it . The 3.1 has more airflow than the R91% clone and I'm able to get more flavor out of it I would say it's just me but BK came to the same conclusion and I've read that some people are removing the AFC screw completely from the KFL + , the R91% clone has other issues that I already mentioned in a previous post so I'm sticking with the 3.1's , if hcigar makes a KFL clone I'll definitely take a good look at it , I'm really impressed with this 3.1

    Thanks, I get the picture now. The mini has the O-ring on the cap and also between the chimney and cap - same as the lites, but the fill hole is on the side. Never had any problems filling if I use the plastic needle tip. I agree with Bronze and think a 16 gauge blunt steel tip would also work.

    The KFL plus has the fill hole on the bottom, however the bevel is deeper and they included an O-ring (and spares) on the screw. Filling from a standard drip tip is now not an issue on this model.

    Yup the 3.1 has an O-ring between the chimney and the cap as well , I'm still more comfortable filling through the top though , I figure that spring will wear out eventually and O-ring's are easy to replace .

    I so want to pull the trigger on this.. PIPELINE UK | PIPELINE PRO mod Made In Germany

    I'm getting a bit tired of waiting for Provari V3 to release..

    I fancied that too. There may be an issue to consider. Since there is no adjustable pin, Todd found that certain tanks including the Kayfun sit with a noticeable gap. I cant live with gaps. Very promising design, though. With the DNA30 just released, I would wait until something more future proof comes along. :2c:
