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

    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.

    You should order from Australia more often!!
    If only we always had cheap price vape gear:facepalm:
    Great to hear your order came in quick:thumb:

    I plan on visiting VapourEyes and other Australian stores more frequently.

    There's plenty of great online vape shops in OZ and plenty that I've shopped at too so I can tell you if there reputable or not. Only one place I've been to which is not a good site at all is VapeDna.com.au which is actually a Chinese company posing as an Aussie website, that order turned a bit sour as I assumed they were Australian.
    Apart from them happy shopping:)

    Got the Infinite Stingray clones in from Mt. Baker Vapor.. Nice mods, button needs a little work, little crunchy... well worth the investment.

    From what I've been reading, the infinite stingray v1 clone benefits from a good clean after taken apart, switch included. Haven't made it that far yet.

    Yeah, a little cleaning and polishing goes a long way. It's a hard hitter. :)

    Damn, too bad I'm not a squonker. They're only $6.90 now. That a good looking mod IMHO.
    I almost got some of those, but two things held me back. Shipping for 4 mods was $18, and squonk bottles are 5mL(I think that's what it was.). The chip/screen alone is worth more than $6.90. I was, and am still, very tempted to get some.

    Edit: I just checked, shipping is $16.97 for four to me in TX

    Yeah, I have to admit, everzon always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The latest bad taste happened when I went there 2 days ago for the HCigar Warwolf 80W. If you search for it, the results show $24.95
    Search results for: 'warwolf'

    Then you click on it and the price shows $24.95. OK.

    But when you choose your color, any color, the price increases $5.29 to $30.24 :grr:

    I don't even know if they have a free shipping policy. I just put over $240 of product in my cart and still no free shipping :rolleyes:

    The Twins...

    Infinite Stingray clones from Mt. Baker Vapor with Plume Veil V2 and Tobh Atty V2.5 RDA clones.
    Not bad for about $10.00 each.

    Once again, thanks to Blitzdonlife for finding Stingray clones.

    I have a red Warwolf I bought used when I 1st started vaping. I LOVE it. It fits in the palm of my hand so comfortably. Great small mod. I’m surprised they’re still available. I got mine 2 years ago and this is the 1st time I’ve seen anyone even mention the Warwolf. Thinking I need to put it in the rotation next week!! Thanks for the reminder!!

    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.

    I have an “industrial” looking metal shelf unit in my family room. I put all my gear into nice looking canvas storage bins on the shelves. Each shelf holds 3 bins. So far I’ve packed over 35 mods, too many atties to count, all kinds of coils wire and tools along with polishing bottles for the stabwoods.

    I hate the idea of my “stuff” being packed up and put away for future use lol!! Sometimes i like to just to look through all the gear and remind myself what’s there. Oftentimes I’ll stumble across a mod or atty that I haven’t used yet or in a longtime. It’s like getting vape mail lol!!

    Anyway the bins keep everything organized and they look nice in the room better than having plastic storage ones out in the open. I have a couple but haven’t used them yet.

    If anyone is interested in the canvas storage bins I got them on Amazon. Of course.

    Apparently Hcigar didn't market it very much.

    I decided against it even though I knew it would fit the hand and love the look. But that battery door seems like a week link. There are people who have even verified such. People are making locks for them on their 3D printers LOL.

    Not interested anymore in the Warwolf. A bad battery door is one of the worst things on a mod and a great pet peeve to me.

    I bought 2 Aegis Solos instead. That's supposed to be a rugged mod, but certainly not as good looking as the warwolf.
