Mark!!! So happy to see you here! Yup, I still have 4 or 5 BPs, and I still have your old VVPV :D

Passed my 6 year vapeaversary and my 2 year cig free. My dentist today was amazed that my gum disease is no longer a problem, tooth pockets have repaired themselves, and I had no cavities! Best dentist visit ever :banana:

Got my ipv 400 today, love it! Rockin' a beloved Crown on top. It's about the same size as my Cuboid, not quite as heavy, and the rounded edges are much more comfortable in hand.

Glad to hear you beat the cigs, though I stand by counting the ones you haven't smoked rather than the ones you do :)

Between October and January I had a crazy contest winning spree -cloupor mini+, vtc mini, Balrog, original target, & 1 other modern PV, plus 4 tanks. I kept the mini+ and tfv4 mini tank, had fun pifing the rest :)

I ended up buying a couple more mini+, crazy good year end sales. I tend to hang out around 25 - 30w, so a 50w PV is actually plenty. I'm still on the first mini+ - with a sleeve on it the PV takes a beating and just keeps running, things like a 16' drop off a ladder :)

I also find I'm enjoying mechs, picked up a couple of nice 2013 PVs on clearance at mov. A simple mechanical pv along with a modem battery like an lg hg2 is a pleasant combination.

    Great to see you Mark !!!... Made me smile seeing your name.

    27 days to 6 years... tryin' to catch up you all you old timers.

    I've been using DNA's since they've been out... The 75 is my fav as I vape between 45-56Ω. The D3 just riplaced the D2 for something smaller and just picked up the Ember for stealth... 1500mAh and 50W and it's itty bitty :D

    Hopefully everything is going Wharfingly Good for you :)


    You youngsters and your high tech toys!

    Right now I'm vaping on a beauteous Madz Mods Nzonic V4, earlier this evening it was a stunning Lernaia Hydra, coupla nice mech mods I picked up from MOV for a song. My tank is a Genny (okay, an Avocado 24 - what a Genny always wanted to be :) )

    I really am liking old school mechs combined with modern tanks and batteries. My only modern pv are cloupor mini+ 50w and a sweet little kamry wood cased 80w. The mini+ is like a 2015 buzz pro - no wide mind share but takes a beating and keeps running.

    Mark FM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Got the Kayfun 5 fired up.....Still waiting on my Clapton wire and Dagger so running a full contact, 26G, 7 wrap wicked with bacon on the D3.....I'm digging it!! Flavor is great and the clouds are impressive....I find the draw just about right on fully open....Juice consumption seems about the same as the other sub tanks though...Deck is great though I believe my eyes have gotten worse since my last coil building experience....So far I'm very well pleased with the KF5...The Cotton Bacon is great as well.....Now if that dang Dagger would make the scene....

    Hi all.

    Hey mark, great to see you! I think that you and I started vaping around the same time. You are alot like my husband. He started with one flavor and stuck with it as well. I don't go flavor crazy but, I do like a little variety ;)

    Anyway, congratulations on being smoke free for 6 years plus :toast:

    BTW- We still have our Original Buzz with screwdrivers and our Buzz Pros. :thumb:

    Yes, the time just flies by :D

    I still pass along my tob4 to some new people who need a real cig-like taste.

    For coils I've settled pretty firmly on twisted kanthal. I generally like the 1/2 ohm zone, and a 3mm single coil of twisted 26 gets me there, else two 28 gauge 2.5mm twisted 28 for a dual setup. It turns out that 316l single strand resistance is just about the same as twisted kanthal of the same gauge, so if I want to play with tc I know what size coils to build :)

    Good morning, all. :)

    Bov, I bet that they did get a kick out of your Buzz.

    As of August 1st 2016 the price of Essential Depot's 4 Gallon VG and PG GlyCubes are going up by a minimum of 13% (from $39.00 to at least $44.00). As a repeat customer I wanted to give you the chance to stock up and beat the price increases.

    To order visit -> USP KOSHER Pharmaceutical Grade VG and PG - Drums and Glycubes. Glycubes only $39.00 until midnight EST Sunday

    The upcoming Feb 2017 Federal E-Cig Regulations have caused a spike in sales to the 5000+ Vape Shops we supply. The associated demand spike across the industry has caused VG and PG prices to go up significantly. Our manufacturer and supplier is giving us one more week to purchase at our current price. Please help keep your price as low as possible by ordering at the current price before August 1st.

    Thank you again for being an Essential Depot customer.

    Hey Mark! I know I know you from somewhere way back. Good to see you! And, yup, I still have my first vv mod. A used buzz pro I won in a contest from a great person I haven't seen in a long time. Captain (?)

    Lol! The above I thought I sent last night.

    @salemgold , ya beat me to it! I was going to post that.

    Anybody. ... this is the first time I've seen options for vg at ED. Palm or soy I think it was. What's everybody's preference? I'm thinking palm. But for no real reason

    I ordered IPV 400 late last night for the 2 batt. form factor. Reviews were good and I have some idle tanks.

    Buahaha!!! Don't you be blaming me or sending me the bill for that ipv 400 ;) I think you and I ordered the vg/pg around the same time too.

    Thanks for the heads up, Salem..I'm stocked. And yes, they got a kick out of my Divine Bovine engraved Buzz Pro!

    Pizza, only reason I avoid soy is that I remember reading a long time ago that it can alter your estrogen levels...one reason soy products and in pill form was recommended for women going thru menopause. I DO NOT know if that is true, and I don't know if it would make any difference when vaped. It's just something that stuck in my head.

    Dr check up was fine. I'm still as abnormal as ever :)
