I keep everything not in my rotation in their original boxes. I get a bit unsettled if things aren’t orderly.
I need more organization. I keep my boxes, especially for rda's and rta's so I don't confuse what parts go to what, and they stack better than without them. I need to build a vape cabinet like I see folks talking about here. I have been using shelves and drawers, a dedicated cabinet is a better solution.

@Electrodave, hey Dave I know you are constantly on the hunt for decent mechs, check out The Vape Factor. They're clearing out all their authentic H.E. mechs at bargain prices. I spoke with the owner earlier today and they are are NOT clones.

I snagged a Cartel Mods v1 SS, a SMPL Mod by Epic Design Studios, a Petri 18650 by Dot Mod and a 7/8's Mod by Fallout Mods. Plus I grabbed a Van & Del Soul S RDA and an Odis cap for my NarDA.

The owner said in their area everyone is into pods. He couldn't recall the last time someone bought a mech from them in-store. This is the same vendor I bought my Science of Vape (SoV) Switch mech from earlier this year.

The Vape Factor Mechanical Mods
Thanks for the tip! I bought a SLVR STAR mod by Ritual Machine.

I am being appropriately punished for that purchase. I must say it makes me not want to go to Walmart because it is processing TWICE and right NOW my bank seems fine with it, but like, the second I load up a cart at Walmart by debit card will be cut off.

I need to like, go and sign up for that Credit Union man. Also, it would be super fantastic if I could get one with JUST the chip and no numbers. I may ask. LOL.

Oh well it's bits and pieces for dinner. I think it will be okay.

It's not low budget, but I did find a great deal in--Australia this morning. I was looking for a VC Sarov mech in a different color than the blue one that eVcigarettes has. Several pages into a google search, I found a listing for one at VapourEyes in Australia #1 for vape supplies and Australian vaping juices . They were out of them, of course. But while browsing the site, I saw something I hadn't seen or heard of. Viva La Cloud makes/made (?) a mod called the El Thunder Lite. Aluminum, 18650 only. Right up my alley. Less than $80 shipped to my door.

Last week I had a similar thing happen where I was looking for something else, and found one in Canada, at a Calgary area vape store called Saddlehorse Blues. SaddlehorseBlues prebuilt coils I was browsing their website when I saw a Pyra mod by RNV Designs. I've seen RNV mods before, but not this one. So I bought it, ended up being about $82 shipped. It's supposed to come Monday.

    I keep everything not in my rotation in their original boxes.

    Well, I kind of did that. Like I have maybe 4 Siren V2s and so I consolidated all the O rings, extra glass, grub screws, etc., into one box. That way I have everything it's all consolidated, etc.

    That's how I do it. :)

    Whelp there is store, vape factor, which was having a blowout sale. I suppose it may still be but lots of things were sold out. I got this:

    th


    It was not the "sexiest" mod on there but like, I was like, "I am only buying it if I plan to VAPE it and well, There is something less intimidating about buying a kit which goes together plus it seemed to have many safety features I would want.

    Vapor Giant mini. I think it's the original version but I'm cool with it. Especially at the price. It looks nice and easy to set up.

    I better not fall in love with mods now, although I suppose the good news is many are relatively inexpensive. Unless you go nuts, and etc.

    No, the atomizers go on my tank stand.

    I got taste! And lots of atomizers needing to be SET up. Those are still in their boxes of course, Man this is my LAST alert set then I'm bathing and putting the laundry on and going to WALMART.

    MUCH ironing will happen I may do it in the living room so I can listen to music. Heh,

    That's really good to hear. I like getting feedback from people who've used the store. They have some other hardware that I have my eye on.

    I don't see Ultem or V3 on the site - am I missing something?

    They sold out of the Ultem v3's the same day I bought mine.. They had some in stock in the morning and by afternoon they were gone.. it was a blink and they are gone thing.

    I did too! DH is going to kill me since I didn't need them but at under $6 each I couldn't resist! I wish I hadn't found this thread today. :facepalm:

    Anyone managed to instal a different squonk bottle on the Sigelei squonk?

    I need to get my hands on mine and see if some "artwork" can make the space available suit other bottles.

    Remember the El Thunder Lite mod that I bought last Saturday? If you don't, then scroll up a bit.
    ElTLRapid.JPG

    Saturday afternoon, I ordered the mod from VapourEyes in Australia. They shipped it Monday, right on cue. It arrived at LA International on Wednesday. About half an hour ago, an EMS courier brought it to my door. Australia to Denver in less than a week. Why can't Fasttech, 2FVape, etc do this? They're actually closer, by about 1500 miles or so.

    Anyway, I love my 2oz mod from Viva La Cloud. Here it is wearing a Kanger Aite RDTA. $6.99 at Vaporider.
