Salem she looks like this one.
Who could resist a face like that?
Cool case, Bov. I was just talking to my son. He bought a Lifeproof Waterproof case when he bought his Iphone 5S. The case cost $100 but, it says on the box that they cover the device for 1 year from water damage. Well, low and behold he got caught in the rain over the weekend and moisture got inside the case. His phone is no longer working. Long story short, he sent all of the info including pictures to Lifeproof to get them to cover the phone. They just told him tonight that they only replace the case and not the device. Who the heck would pay $100 for a case if it were not for the fact that it says it will cover the device on the box? Unfortunately, their website says that they will only replace the case but, what a scam!
Hey LD, check it out
That looks exactly like the one Ikenvape sold that was on the drip tip cartomizer he used to sell. If you cut the mouthpiece end off about 1/2 way and put an o-ring groove on it. You can use it to change cartos on a tank. I still use mine all the time changing cartos.
It ends up looking something like this.

Salem I'd forgotten about using a gel pen grip...but I did....I still have the Super T tips from the first run....
Funny how Coil Master sent a note saying they were gonna take a holiday and my order would ship out today.....the day i got no shipping notice....Maybe they got back late from vacation...Order placed with ECIGX after the CM order is here and steeping away....Couple things about CM grinding my gears...1st it's a straight up copy of someone else's design...2nd Take a break after a gold rush buying event...IMO there is plenty of time to break when the shipping is done....3rd If you say it do it....else don't say it....
We had minimal ice this morning...Wet all day and a wind chill that would send you running for cover...As 908 mentioned the virus that's going around lasts a good long while...I managed to get the tires free of grease and mounted but said the Hades with freezing my azz off getting them on the truck...It will be in the 50s Friday and that should feel balmy...Some 60s past that...Likely some teens as well
On the cases...I roll with Otter...My new Samsung Galaxy 3 isn't the latest and greatest and I haggled an E Bay price for the Otter Box Defender at the Sprint store...I only went into Sprint because I was at the Fastenal beside it....Sprint doesn't sell the 3 any longer and the $60 buck case wasn't on display...Still I had to hold the manager's feet too the fire for the E Bay price...$33 out the door...The Otter won't save it from submersion but my HTC still looked brand new after 2.5 years riding with me and protected by Otter...They do have a mil-spec case that is waterproof but grossly over sized for my tastes......

I have an Otter on my Iphone as well, LD. I tried like heck to talk Verizon down on price. They told me that the cheap ones that I see online are seconds 
They charged me $40 for mine. I was going to wait and buy one online but, my luck would be that I would walk out of the store and drop the phone in a mud puddle on concrete. 
I used those gel pen grips too. Used them for many things including cleaning out cartos.
Darn, 5C. It has been awhile since i used a tanked carto but, that would come in handy for sure

Dam that sux SG your right 100 for a water tight case and they will replace the case. How big of them I just saw one, not sure if it the same but the thing looked huge. I insure my phone for the 2 kids but only for the first year. We do have to pay 100 buck to replace them but you can lose it or w/e and they will replace.
Phone are a huge petpeive of mine as Americans spend twice as much on cell service and have some for worst service in the world. Corp need to make there cash first. They have the case where they do replace the phone but i doubt it cover water damage. Cells are such a rip off not sure why we put up with them other than most of us "need" must be a better way. Prepay or something idk. Been think of going prepay myself and just use cheaper phones.
Hey stud nice to meet you
-23.6 this morning a normal day in the north country so over winter...........
Have a great day all

Good morning, all.
OTR, I hear you. My son always kept insurance on his phone but did not feel the need when he got the Lifeproof case that states it will cover the device on the box. Not only that, the rep at Verizon also told him that his device would be covered with the case.
Fran, I wish that I could get a signal on the cheap phones. I was with Suncom for 12 years. I could not get a signal not only at home but on most of the back roads in my area. I called them before switching to Verizon and was told that a booster would not even help since there are no towers in the area of my house. I hated it because I only paid $30 per month for unlimited talk but, it just never worked once I moved here.

Salem,I buy a $99 card for our tracfone once a year. It gives us 1 years airtime and more minutes than we ever use. Phone works everywhere,NY,VA.WV.Pa.etc
Morning folks
That bites for your son, Salem. I'd be pretty mad about that too. My phone is a cheapy Tracfone too, the Galaxy Tab4 is wifi only and doesn't combine a phone with it. If it hadn't been a Christmas gift, I wouldn't have it.

Pretty sure Tracphone works off Verizon towers...TF is StraightTalks prepaid and I know ST uses Verizon towers....
Just read something about cells last night...Company called Ting had the best reviews....
Samsung Galaxy S3 for 149...Service for 35 per month from Boost...Been with boost around 4 years and so far they have been great....

Safelink also uses Tracfone, that's what I have...and yes it uses Verizon towers here.
I have a 2 year contract with verizon now but, now that I am able to get instant videos and pictures of my son and grandson plus be able to use facetime with them, I would not give it up for anything
I got my Iphone for free with the contract. Once my contract is up, I will take a look at Tracphones.
