i don't really give a crap about the clips on it. i just need the magnification (magnificay, magnificay, magnification! sorry, symphonic YES moment).

it the 2x works, that'll help. :thumb: if the clips work BONUS!! :thumbs:

though some mentioned reading glasses. i wonder if the 3x reading glasses at the dollar store or rite aid (can't remember where) might do the trick a well.

but all this thinking...is making me tired...:p

i used to buy the reading glasses at Dollar Tree for a dollar, and they worked fine. but they got progressively weaker (well, i guess my eyes did) and they finally ran out of ones that would work.

p.s. why can dollar tree sell a pair of glasses for one dollar, but at the eye doctor they cost hundreds of dollars? i think we are being taken. just sayin'.....

Are the Aro's about the same size as a T3S? Im looking to get something outta of pyrex a little bit portable then my protanks but want it to hold more then the Protank mini.

I'm really not sure. Haven't had any T3S. They are roughly as big around as a eGo battery, as far as length they are longer than many clearos. This YouTube review should give you a good idea of the size.

I watch Strike Back (Skinamax) on Saturdays. An action packed show about a black ops team.
Someone was using a magnifying glass with a duct-taped handle held by a bent-to-shape coathanger stand.

I rewound and paused it so I could check it out. Necessity's the mother of invention.

Reading glasses did it for me, but I was over due for a new pair anyway.

Happy 2 months Mia!!!! That's HUGE!!!!! Have a vapealicious day!!!! :thumbs::party::banana::rickroll:


Today is my two month cigarette free anniversary! Nothing could make me stop smoking, not even spending a week in the hospital due to, literally, being unable to breathe. NOTHING could make me stop. I enjoy(ed) smoking cigarettes (yes as gross as it seems, it's the truth). I can't even remember now how I stumbled upon vaping. But, it's been a life changer. Is vaping annoying sometimes? Sure. Do I spend countless hours fiddling with my juice and pv's? Sure. But. I have not had a cigarette in 2 months. Vaping enabled me to finally quit smoking. So, HOORAY TO ME! Today I will nap since I worked all night, vape vape vape, eat sushi, and vape vape vape some more.
So I filled almost every tank I have (lol what on earth is wrong with me) and will enjoy:
Whipped cream
Moo Juice
Spurburry
Pink Champagne
Melon Baller with some WC!
and sorry mbv (if you only carried these flavors, I'd be buying them from you as well) and 3 Alushions juices.

I now have a supply of over 300 ml's of Whipped cream. That is clearly not enough. :)

Happy day friends!

i have glasses :p i'm thinking about using them for...MAGNIFICATION! :lol:

and now they say that using glasses actually makes your eyes worse! :ohmy:
you need to use those new "pinhole glasses" and exercise your eyes! :?:

ps: someone has to pay for those all day 18 hole rounds of golf, the wife's plastic surgery, the girlfriend's plastic surgery, the "secretary's" plastic surgery, etc... :rolleyes:

Reading glasses did it for me, but I was over due for a new pair anyway.

I've been having problems. I have emailed mtbaker and nothing.. Emailed mtbaker wholesale and nothing. They wouldn't respond after 5 days! What's up with that??? James might want to check out what's going on in the email department. Since they wouldn't get back with me I had to order from FW. Grrr!!

FW is cheaper, innit?

did you asked in the the supplier forum?

Sorry they're not responding. I would call them...5 days is long enough to wait, IMO.

yeah... 750 dollars for a pair of glasses for me.. since i wear them uh ALL the time, i had to get a few perks. I really want laser eye surgery though.
i just woke up, im kind of incoherent. must vape more.

I believe James was at Vapefest in Vegas over the week end. That might be part of the email delay.

Yes they are cheaper but I didn't know about shipping from them. Mtbaker is so fast on shipping.
No I didn't.. I forgot to go there. Oh well, next time.
Thanks

Their shipping time is ok. not great but ok. They do make it safe.
They'll collect pack & ship before the weekend if you're lucky so Monday probably.

I got 6-10 bottles to spread the shipping cost the times I ordered from them. How many bottles for you?

Congratulations on 2 months :toast:

I use these also, and i'm pretty rough on them usually keep about 5 pair on hand. As well as 2 of the other 3 guys i work with. Its always fun to see the reaction at the resistor when they see 3 guys standing in line all with 4 or 5 pairs of these.
Best reaction yet was in South Carolina by this girl who looked all of 14 years old with the sweetest, deepest southern accent You ever heard "awe heck and I just got done restocking these things"

Sheesh!! I thought $400 was high last time I got glasses, and they were no line bifocals with clip on sunglasses! I am just making an appt. with the eye doctor tomorrow because I am about 3 years over due on new glasses. Hope I don't have to spend that much....holy crap!!

Same here, just over $400 for progressive bifocals and clip on sunglasses a few years ago! LOL Unfortunately, I can no longer read a thing with them, so I am overdue :/ I have to stop buying vape gear and juice in order to buy new glasses :p

$0.99 magnifying glass is a STEAL :p

yup, shipping is a bit steep, almost 13 bucks. but you get huge amounts of flavoring!

the bigger the bottle the cheaper the price!

if i'd only added a bottle of cinnamon roll...:facepalm:

saw a segment on 60 minutes awhile back that exposed that almost all frames are made by the same company, so they charge whatever they want. $400 for a piece of plastic is ridamndiculous, no matter who's designer name is on them. :mad:
