That Smowell looks nice. I have NEVER seen one before. Looks nicer than a istick 50 watt to me if its accurate. Is the site Aikane1 put up from China too? I don't want to wait 2 weeks for something from China to get to NY, not worth the wait.

I believe GearBest is based in China also.

So Yeah, 2 weeks would about how long you would have to wait.

Just saw an ad for the ipv4, a 100 watt device, and it doesn't look huge I will tell you that. Plus it even has a USB port. Would probably take forever but it lokks interesting.

I seem to have misplaced that link.... but you could check you Settings page in a while (after the update time) and see what's hiding behind that 10th power of zero

I think 10K is double, though.... dang CRS!

So, what should I buy myself for my vapeversary????

I dunno..... how bout a cute "tiffany" blue eGo one? Happy V-A-V Day, pokes!

Yeah... I Spell about as well as I Type. LOL

BTW - I didn't mention it. But 2 things I Really Like about the Smowell DVP-50 is the Radiuses on the Sides, and the Weight.

It fits Very Well in my Hand. And the Weight makes it Easy to Hoist all day long.

Here is one Last thing that Surprised me about FT.

I knew since MH360 went down that getting Batteries shipped from FT has been a Problem. And I was Fully Expecting to wait Months to get a Pair of 18650's via my Soon to Expire FT Gift Certificate.

What I Didn't Realize was that FT has a "Special" Battery delivery method for the USA. And that is they have a Warehouse in Cerritos CA (about 15 Miles from my Front Door!) from which they ship Batteries to US Customers.

So when I did my Order for my Smowell DPV-50, I also did a SEPERATE Order for 2 Batteries using the "Special" battery delivery option.

Both Orders where placed on the Same Day. And my DPV-50 came from China. And my Batteries came from Cerritos CA. The Cool thing was BOTH Packages arrived on the Same Day.

One Traveling 1/2 way around the World and thru Customs. The other came from 15 Miles away.

LOL

How in the heck did you get the WELLY delivered in one week???

And yes, I call it the Welly.

I think ours were ordered them like sometime back in 2009 and they are STILL sitting in China. D'oh!

And congrats on your new super hero 20K badge, zoiD!

I was Kinda Surprised Myself.

Maybe it was Karma payback for the Complete Train Wreck I went thru trying to get a Hana Clone that worked from FT?

 

[DavidOck]

Should have tried to get a FT Clone from Hana...

It looks like our "Welly's" (Katspeak for "Smowells") have made it to NYC. I expect their arrival any day now.

Ah, ancient Jethro Tull. Where Ian Anderson took the band later, after This Was, Stand Up, and Benefit---with roster changes and a more bluntly heavy metal sound from Aqualung on---didn't thrill me at all, but I loved the early, more jazzy JT, and I always liked Anderson's occasional integration of English Isles traditional music into the mix.

Always considered Bourée a near perfect melody - Anderson's arr. of Bach - esp and intro and @2:35 -->

While Jethro Tull's lovely, tasteful version of Bourée is clearly an ensemble effort---good arrangement with terrific, restrained flute by Anderson---for me (as a bassist), it's Glenn Cornick's bass work that distinguishes it. Cornick's short bass solo is a model of sparse playing (less is more), and his brief flurry of strummed two-finger root-fifth bass chords at the end is brilliant. JT's Bourée is a definite all-time fave of mine.
