Is that you, Mezzio, rocking the beard? Where is Dino? I wanna see if he looks like I picture him. You never really know how you picturing somebody until you see what they really look like, I've notice. (Where are these photos?)

You can find me somewhere deep in the last thread. LOL

I love the look of this. What is this again? (Not thrilled about the logo font, which is nice in itself, but doesn't really go with the rest of it.) I love the rough-looking surface... cyberpunk, you know, like "dirty spaceship"? Kinda reminds me of that Hans Giger type aesthetic from the first alien movie. I wish I had access to my old sculpture studio from when I was in school! I would love to work with metal, putting together funky mods. The electronics for simple mechs can't be too hard to learn, right? I have a lot of ideas. I wanna make vape stuff!

I won some caramrl macchiatto eliquid last week, and really liked it....so I decided to try to make my own :) It turned out really good! It does not taste exactly like the one I won. I did not have marshmallow so I used whipped cream, so ehen I get to buy vape stuff I am going to get some marshmallow flavoring :) Dino, do you know of a good marshmallow flavoring? Or anyone else know?

I've tried Flavor West and it's good... not exactly like I was expecting. would not really want to vape it alone. I guess people use it to sweeten? Toasted Marshmallow (TFA) is yummy and Brown Sugar (TFA) both also make things sweeter and add a kind of "baked" or candied flavor, seems to me. I also have some FA Marshmallow but haven't tried it yet. I'll let you know when I do!

ooohhhh those are nice
awwww :wub: and you even got orange :wub:

is it really orange, like the pic shows? or is it more salmon pink or manila envelope colored?
i think these will be a hit, will help hide the overhang from larger tanks....only thing that could make it better (not that I really care, but for some...) a place on the sleeve to connect a lanyard.

Is there a lanyard that will fit the iStick? You know I broke down and bought one. An iStick. It's offical: jerk-head :danger: Kevin at sweetspotvapor.net :danger: has screwed me out of 70 bucks plus the cost of the insurance policy for the eLVT, and there's little I can do about it. What am I gonna do--take him to small claims court? :mad::unsure::glare::?::confused::facepalm:

that sucks...how did you pay him? paypal? credit card/bank account? dispute the charge ;)

as for a lanyard....not exactly because most are made for ego type mods.....but there are universal lanyards a bit harder to find, if you go to like craft stores ;) you could prob find something or even just use an oring and connect a lanyard to it then you can slide it on to your tank or mine is on my adapter, I use a 510/ego adapter then an ego thread cover (beauty ring) and slide the lanyards oring onto it
I wouldn't see why an mvp lanyard/case wouldn't work though, it'd be a bit big...could prob snuggly carry a bottle of juice in with it ;)

dino is so not my favorite person at the moment :lol:
ug...mr dino you are not my favorite person at the moment :lol:
(for those that don't know, order 2 or more bottles of juice and he'll send you a free sample juice....)
i've been dreading trying this one.....sorry.....moving on.....

Peaches & Berries from MadTown Vapor

Yep 2 of my most hated flavors in this vape....Peaches and Mangos........
no throat hit, absolutely smooth vape, plenty of plume and sweet juicy fruits makes this a great vape (if you like those flavors ;)
strong peach flavor layered with mango and raspberries and a hint of melon flavor
aside from the *gag* peach and mango it really is a nice vape so if you like those flavors then I highly suggest this vape, if, like me, you hate those flavors....steer far far away clear of this vape :lol:

my lil one told me to throw that juice away it stinks and is not her favorite smell :lol:

so before I post it up into the trade thread anyone in here want trade? it's 20/80 15 ml 6mg

omg...I didn't know there was mango in peaches and berries--I absolutely love it. I get peaches and raspberry from it, and mix it with yellow cake and it's heavenly. But I vape much higher nic than you, sadly, and 6mg would frustrate me :/

So... the sweetspotvapor SCANDAL actually took place months ago, July, when my ex arranged for the purchase of the e-lvt and had it sent to me in P.R. It arrived sans invoice or copy of the insurance policy but I didn't sweat it until the button broke, at which point I called the guy and sent it back to him at my own expense. This was in October. Not only do I not have the info abt the original purchase easily to hand (would have to track down my ex and get it...) but the vendor is just ignoring me, as I said, or not answering the phone. I tried for weeks calling him every 13 or 14 days, or emailing offering to take some other product of equal value he had in stock so I could just have SOME mod, ANY mod, and like I said, when he responded it would just be to tell me about how hard it was for him to deal with his suppliers and how stressed out he was. So I waited and waited and kept inquiring at intervals...and now am purty sure any period to dispute has conveniently passed. And truly, I have spent enough energy on it, I guess. It was the last present my (former) partner of 13 years ever gave me, and just as we broke up, so maybe it's fitting somehow. lol. But if anyone feels like beating someone up, though, that's your guy.

Thanks for the lanyard tips! gnight all.

I love cyber punk and steam punk. Its an iconic box. Only a couple hundred made and this was the last variation of which he made 80. 100watts, tilt the box to adjust it, custom patina for each one. I love it.

Dino, have you seen this article on the exploding cloupor minis?

http://www.planetofthevapes.co.uk/n...e=nl&utm_medium=news&utm_campaign=clouporwarn

Apparently cloupor is not responding to customers at all and even deleting people's public attempts to get a response via facebook.

I'm considering returning it. Is that an option? If mine explodes are you able to do an exchange for something else? If I still have my face? It freaks me out.

I spoke to Dino about the Cloupor mini issue and he's said that he hasn't had any customers that have had issues with the mini. It's possible that it was only a batch of mini's that had this problem since it's not a large wide spread number of people who are reporting this issue, if you total it up I think there's only like a few documented reports where as there's been thousands of these made.

None-the-less... I think this is a leading reason why I'm seriously considering no longer paying full price for regulated devices. The history of regulated devices (primarily in the clones) has been shaky and with my personal experience with the KSD Hana clone has turned me off to spending money on them. $50+ for a device should mean, in my opinion at least 12 months of reliable service or at least a warranty that's honored for 12 months.

I decided that all of these cases seemed to have occurred within an early range of use. Within first few days. I've had mine a few weeks now and it is running perfectly. I'm actually debating getting a smoktech x50. At any rate, with ....ty customer service from cloupor, I just want to feel comfortable that I have options if it does have an issue because clearly cloupor doesn't seem to Gove a .....

I always buy stuff on sale or discount if I can. That's how I buy more toys AND avoid the full price buyers remorse of a disappointing item.

I've been lucky so far with my purchases of regulated devices I guess...

I purchased an MVP 2, used for $25 and it came with $27 worth of Vape Dojo juice. The juice was unexpected and tasty enough that I vaped it all. I felt damn good about that purchase but 6 or so months later the battery quit holding a charge. No sweat, got the juice and 6 months use out of it.

The KSD Hana lasted 4 months. That hurt.

I picked up a Segilei 100 watt v2 from the "used" shelf at Dino's. Box, two VTC 4 batteries and a trust fire for $70. I haven't heard anything bad about these so I'm hoping that this thing lasts me a good while. It was in good condition and it still had the plastic over the display so it couldn't have been that old or used that much.

I wish I had something smaller, like the size of the Cloupor mini or even up to the size of the MVP again for just tank vaping. But I'm leery about spending money on anything. The MVP 20 watt is nice but $40 for something that I can't replace the battery in is disappointing. I like the idea of swapping out a battery if I need to and I'm worried about battery life. The battery goes dead in a MVP or iStick and the entire thing is useless. Same goes for the iStick products, that much money for a permanent battery... I was considering the Cloupor mini but I just can't seem to pull the trigger on one at fill price. I was thinking about the Hotcig box that Dino has but again, minimal warranty and there's no telling how long it'll last me for the money I'd be spending.

I've been running my Kayfun on a mech for now. I'd hate to beat up the Segilei for tank vaping and it's a little large for my comfort level. The only thing that sucks about using a mech for the Kayfun is I'm constantly checking the battery voltage thinking it's getting weak. When you drip at low ohms on a mech you KNOW when the battery isn't performing well... At 1.2 ohms it's a little more of a slow death... The amperage draw is lighter so you don't get that "whoa... Where's my fluffy clouds?" thing.

If I had the money for it... I'd be all over that SX mini with the yihi sx350 chip in it. That thing looks like it's a solid performer. But it's $189 for a 60 watt box mod. That's out of my price point :(

I agree on all points. I refuse to buy a reg that has a non replaceable bat. I think I have so many toys though nothing gets used a ton. I rotate out. The mini is getting used a lot because I take my squape everywhere as my driving vape.

Dino has a used section? I wanna see! Me buy toys!
