Next VIP Meet: Sunday, June 23, 1pm!

[davelog]

When: Sunday, June 23, 1pm
Where: Sun Up Brewing in the Brewers' Den (Just ask the hostess for the vaping Group when you arrive if you don't know where it is).
Location: 322 East Camelback Road, Phoenix, AZ 85012
Light Rail Stop: Camelback & Central
Parking: Lots of parking in Sun Up's parking lot.

Great food at Sun Up! The kettle chips and chipotle ketchup are out of this world, they brew their own root beer, and they make a great turkey BLT! More info about Sun Up is available on their website!

Local suppliers are often in attendance so you can buy liquids, atomizers/cartos, drip tips, mods, etc. Desert Vapes will be there and is taking discounted pre-orders for pickup at the meet, and we welcome other local vendors as well. If you have something to sell or trade, bring it along! If you DIY and have a juice you're proud of, bring some and let folks try it!

Growing Pains - The meets are getting bigger and bigger, and we're running out of space! SunUp's been a great host for our socials, but we have found a new place to have our meets starting next month - details and discussion will be forthcoming at this month's meet!

Raffle News - We will have our usual raffle drawings (please consider bringing something to donate for our drawings, vaping-related or not!) and as always, we'll have our 50/50 cash pot drawings from the money brought in from raffle ticket sales. Our local suppliers often donate something great as well!

Spread The Word - If you know vapers that aren't part of the ECF, invite 'em! Know any smokers looking for alternatives? Bring 'em along! The more the merrier!

Last Meet Recap - If you didn't catch the last meet, or did and wish to relive it through the magic of images (I haven't had a chance to caption them yet, sorry!), here's the imgur album!

Social Schedule - If you have the googles you can now get the VIP calendar right here! We'll be posting up the dates for the rest of the year soon!

Have any questions? Ask away here or on reddit, or hit Barry up on the VIP Face Book page (Phoenix Vapers) at https://www.facebook.com/groups/phoenix.vapors/. Feel free to RSVP in this thread, on reddit, or on Facebook, and we hope to see you all there!

Gonna be there.......last one was a blast

[Aubie80]

I cant get the day off Ill be the only mechanic in town that weekend for the bowling center I work at. I hope to make the next meet if I know where to be and what time.

Bummer that we have outgrown the space at sun-up, they are great hosts and have delicious food and beverages.

Someone say thank you to sun-up for me.

 

[davelog]

Hey Aubie, your bowling center wouldn't happen to be in Sunnyslope, would it?

 

[Aubie80]

No, I work at AMF Deer Valley Lanes northwest corner of I-17 and thunderbird rd behind the what-a-burger.

 

[Aubie80]

Only sunny slope bowling center I can think of is Let It Roll Bowl, 3rd street and Dunlap.

 

[davelog]

12th and Dunlap, actually - I live right around there. Was hoping I had another vaper in the neighborhood! I've rolled at Deer Valley before, nice center.

 

[Aubie80]

I stand corrected, a few years back the new owners dumped a bunch of money into that center, I havent been in there since it was known as Sunset Bowl.

 

[davelog]

Actually, it's the old owner that dumped the money into the remodel, Dale. He did that about 8 years ago. He sold out the majority of the center to Let It Roll 2 or 3 years ago, but still owns a piece of it. It's kinda gone downhill since the changeover, IMHO. We stopped bowling around the same time, because our doctors told us to knock it off. Me with sciatica and the wife with nerve problems in her shoulder.

 

[Aubie80]

Well thats no fun having to quit bowling.

From what I hear Stacey Anderson is now a part owner and his name brings ill talk around the bowling community. Sad that had to happen to a really nice center too.

 

[davelog]

Tru dat. We miss bowling something fierce, but manage to keep our competitive natures placated by shooting 9-ball for the APA.

Speaking of which, Bullshooter's over at 35th ave and Peoria? Totally vape-friendly!

 

[Aubie80]

Really, we will have to go shoot pool sometime, i haven't played much in years. I've had some great times at bullshooters. Didn't know they had changed the name used to be sixshooters.

 

[davelog]

We will be practicing at some point this weekend, possibly even tonight. I'll post up here when we're gonna be there as soon as I know.

 

[Aubie80]

Cool maybe I'll grab my sticks and head down. Be nice to get out of the house besides work and bowling.

 

[Serial70]

I'll have my newest acquisitions at this meet as well... It seems like my new purchases coincide with your vape meets quite nicely...

 

[davelog]

Ha, me too! I finally jumped on the REOmizer2 train earlier this week, mine just came in today so I'll be sporting that on one of my REOs at the meet.

 

[Aubie80]

I will have a new Zen 2 Cinis when Im able to attend the next meet Ill have it with me, my first high end mod.

 

[davelog]

Oh wow, that's pretty. I hadn't seen one of those before, can't wait to see yours!

 

[Serial70]

I'll have my Gus G22 (18650) with a polished Kayfun 3.1ES...

 

[davelog]

Sweet, the only Gus I've ever seen up close and in person was a telescope and the threads on it were like glass. Freakishly smooth, clearly the work of a craftsman. Looking forward to seeing yours.

My daily drivers are mech REOs - a Grand, a Mini 1 and a Mini 2. My tubes are nothing exotic, a Vamo and a Kamry K100. The Vamo's pretty much just for sampling and DIY testing, and the K100 is a general backup. Cheap telescopes are handy for the GOOD bag.
