Evening :) I got my big nauty bvc today...a just reward for floor scrubbing!

Wow! that was quick, Bov. Are you using the BVCs or the BDCs in it?

Last week I read that after the 1st the PO would be slowing down in order too save money....

Usually the PO is my preferred method of shipment.....just as long as it's not FedX......

So I ordered a third brake/cargo light for the Ranger on 12/26....That sumbeech just made Charlotte from California at 8:12pm...Still 125 miles up the street.....The shipper.....You guessed it....FedX

Granny was slow but she was old...

Wuzz you're gonna have to let us know how you like the new toy...If you have to rant on the PO site and feel the need for more feel free to cuss FedX on my behalf....

I may have mentioned....

FedX sucks when it comes too shipping things...12/26 and the ding dang light is still on the dang truck?????????

Pfffttt the only thing worse is Fedex Smart Post. Goes by turtle via Fedex to the USPS and then to you if you are lucky! Alot of the free shipping online is shipped that way (non vape related)

I gotta say that my new tank didn't ride the slow boat. I ordered it Friday afternoon from a vendor in Colorado, didn't pay the extra dollar for priority shipping, and still got it in the mail today. I was quite surprised it got here that fast.

Fedex, yeah Dee. I ordered a bluetooth keyboard and binder for my new tablet Thursday, and Fedex handles the first leg of shipping. Expected arrival date is the 12th! At least that one is free shipping :blink:

bet it shipped Smart Post lol

The folks at my local PO told me that your package travels the same exact way whether it is first class or priority. So, you will get them the same speed. The difference now with priority is the included insurance.

FX & UPS are great for fast mail but terrible by Ground.

I had a FX package from China in 1 day once. I sent the money 1am on Monday, It left China Tuesday, arrived in LA Monday night and I got it Tuesday afternoon :)

On the flip side, I paid $280 for shipping on a battery order from China :blink:

Morning ladies and gents :)

Salem, I'm using the BVC coils. That's the only thing that sold me on trying the Nautilus. And yes on the Fastpost shipping from Amazon.

Wharf, I usually get packages from the left side of the US faster than ordering closer to home. It gets to board a plane and fly to the hub in Mass, and from there, they could just about throw a pass for me to intercept ;)

Got half the bathroom floor stripped. Working with ammonia without being able to open the window tore my sinuses up. 17* and snowing here.

Good morning, Fran. You are always pleasant and nice to see here :)

I have been posting on this forum more in the past few weeks than I have been the last few months. It is a jungle out there.

^^^^^
Ditto what she said.​

I got the little rascal! Plugged it in and the light went out in about 20 min. so I guess it came charged. Stuck the cs coil in it, filled it about halfway and woot! Downloaded the manual and read it to make sure I understood everything and almost od'd while I wuzz reading lol. Totally filled it and got a little gurgling. I cleared it by turning it upside down and firing it a few times. It seems to be getting less now. I haven't messed with the air flow yet. No need to really. It's about the same as my Aspire Mini Novas. Maybe a little more airy but nothing wrong with that either. The clicks on the wattage wheel don't line up with the dots and no markings other than the 20w and some dots. I just turned it up until I got to my spot so no need to go into a bunch of science or worry really. It fits perfectly in an old dumb phone case so it goes with me on my belt with no worries about breaking a tank off or anything. The internal tank was a major plus when I looked at them. I get pretty physical outside and have broken several tanks and pulled a few connectors out of mods and batteries. I may have to add one or two percent of flavoring to my diy juices but I suspect I'm going to have to cut the nic back a little. I'll see in a few days. I'm not sure how much juice it holds but enough to last me a good part of the day. I looked at the rba. It came with a coil installed and two extra pre built plus some wire, a screwdriver and a generous chunk of cotton. It looks sweet really but I'll have to use a Loupe with a light to change them due to my eyesight. Overall my first impression is this thing is probably going to replace my iSticks as an all day, or at least my most of the day lol. I doubt the battery is going to make it all day with me but that remains to be seen. None of my jeans have a watch pocket so I guess I'm going to have to spring for new jeans too lol. I'll be taking care of that tomorrow.
So far this thing it the cat's pajamas.

Woohoo! Glad that you are liking it. Wait until tomorrow to decide if you need to increase your flavor in your mixes. When I first got mine, I thought the same. The coil does get much better for flavor after the break in period. It did for me at least.

probably going to have to pass on the RBA base. My eyesight is not great either and working in small, tight spaces just doesn't work for me at all. That's okay though. I like it well enough with the stock coils that I am using. Thanks for the report.

I'll wait and see on the flavor then, thanx for the tip, but unless the "new" wears off this pretty soon I'm going to have to lower the nic LOL. I bought a jewlers loupe from Amazon a long time ago for rebuilding Kanger Protank coils and this is a good bit bigger than them. I'm not expecting any great difference in switching to the RBA really and I don't mind buying the stock ones. I've heard they last a long time. Just about everything like that I buy and learn how to use is in case stuff becomes no longer available. I do use a few rebuildables for tasting/testing juices. Nothing fancy just some cheap ones and rebuilding a few stock coils. I've heard different amounts on these tanks. Is 3 1/2 ml right?
