Crap, I just hate it when I get sucked down a Rabbit Hole .. so many sites are cleverly disguised as USA based, many are simply not true .. at any rate, I settled on LightFire, which is apparently KangerWholesaleUSA .. $75 to get free shipping .. there was no sales tax .. as follows :: // I feel like I did not do too bad price wise .. the Free Shipping, no Sales Tax and the cost on the coils / plus, USA Based .. I threw the Pod system in to break $75.00 .. and it's refillable, so we'll see on that ..

@Uncle Willie . . .

First off - Ya' did more then GOOD - Excellent choices . . . More importantly, glad Ya' listen to everyone that was trying to help Ya' out . . . :thumbs:

Dan :: I saw your generous offer, however, it's usually my way to buy it myself rather than get something for free .. there are likely other folks out there that can use it and, especially these days, are under more financial distress ..

I was wondering if you read any of "My" post for awhile and fully understand about "purchasing" your own "Stuff" . . . I was only sending it to you to let you try it and convince Ya' that the tank was one of the best out there . . . Just as others have helped me along the way . . . Anyway, it is brand new and will be put to good use right here or until someone is in NEED . . . Again, glad you got all the right "Stuff" coming your way . . . :D

I was thinking about Patrick (2legs) today as I browsed the gear and what not .. he was always into it, a hobby for him, I think .. I remember a Hang Out or two where Patrick would join in and be sitting in his "Vape Lab" working on a coil as he talked .. I spun up some Pink Floyd earlier, which was one of his favorite Bands ..

I always knew he and I would get along well if we ever met in the flesh ..

It's been so sad to see some of our Cadre pass as the years went by .. here's a quote from a PM I saved, he and Ginnie would probably have been geared up for that trip around this time .. ::

"Yeah I don't feel bad most days but when I try to go out and do something I get tired so fast and seems like it takes me 2 days to recuperate. It sucks. Getting ready to drive this motorhome over to the other side of the mountains. That's an excursion for me. This thing is big and you have to pay attention all the time. By the time I get there it takes me about 2 hours to feel like I'm not moving still. Plus we have to get all our prescriptions written up so we have enough for 2 months just in case we stay that long and then hope nothing goes wrong with the motorhome. It shouldn't but you never know. It's great once we get there and get hooked up. We tow my old 92 Honda that I bought new over there so we have transportation. It's only about 375 miles but it feels more like 3750. Gettin' old ain't for pussies. "

You guys mean a lot to me ..

    There were kits out there with the GeekVape Aegis Solo Box Mod for just a little more than what I paid for just the PV, but they all came with sub-ohm tanks/coils that I knew I'd never use ..

    Now, get a couple batteries and I'll be good to go .. when it all gets here anyway ..

    Dan :: I saw your generous offer, however, it's usually my way to buy it myself rather than get something for free .. there are likely other folks out there that can use it and, especially these days, are under more financial distress ..

    Lastly, thank you so much, Frannie .. I look forward to the next time we do a shopping "trip" together .. :)
    I would gladly do another shopping trip ;)

    Good morning Cathy and Fran. Should be a bit cooler here today after the storms moved through last night, but very humid. Some lingering showers may still come through. Well, I said we needed rain and we got it!

    Oh, c'mon Man .. I thought the Solo was the general consensus .. don't make me second guess myself .. :eek:

    DON'T SECOND GUESS! You did good. It's done. Now sit back and enjoy the anticipation of getting something new that's been highly recommended. I think you're going to surprise yourself and like it.

    Good morning. :)

    Beautiful here this morning with a slight breeze! Haven't checked the forecast yet, but sure will be more-or-less of what we've been having, so simply enjoying it all!

    Hola .. :)

    Nah .. the beauty of literally waiting years while using the same old Antique gear then allowed me to tap into the extensive Brain Trust here .. the real benefit being, most all of you have been the Guinea pig's (no offense) .. the Collective has tried this and that over the years, with success and failure and reached a general consensus on what they currently use and like .. IOW, many if not most of you have spent some good coin over time to reach the Nexus in which you now stand ..

    I have, fortunately, been the willing recipient of that combined knowledge base, and, as a bonus, have not had to go through those years of experimentation and monetary outlay ..

    Patience and frugality wins .. :p

    I beg to differ with you but I don't have a ton of money in my stuff and like 99% of what I do have even if I never get to some.

    Well, you held out longer than most, but we've all relied on the experience of others. You may have won in the frugality dept. but some have won in the fun dept. And we've all benefited from all of that in the ECF threads!

    Would that be the politically correct description of a cheapskate ? :rolleyes:

    While, in this case, it may not have been intentional, it did work out that way .. however, as you may or may not recall, I tend to wear the "cheapskate" badge with a certain degree of honor .. although, I would not go so far as calling myself a "skinflint" .. :eek:
