Hey LD, that thing we talked about? I have "extra" time coming up the week after this one, I will have a lot more time to spare I am going to find my missing webcam, we'll skype it up.
Well, there are many things, but I remember them all.
Skype? Really? Awesome! Glad to see you finally getting it connected.
They ain't....I had thought they would be too.
That is my CM Storm mouse and a 30ml bottle for size comparison.
Compared to the Apollo tank...
About 2" wide and 3.25" high. Without the two 18350 batts, it's just a light bit of plastic and metal. Pick up two of those batts, that is about what it weighs.
I've actually taken the thing out to pay rent, grab beer from the store across the street and answer the dang door...it's practically sealed to my hand.
Mmmm...Boba's Bounty...I'm vaping it right now...have been most of the day. Love that juice...definitely in my top three!
I received my Black Rubberized Ovale V8 vv and love it! I've had no problem getting the battery compartment open...worked first time, every time. I'd recommend using the edge of a credit card to depress the springs when inserting the batteries...they drop right in...so easy. I also love the feel of the V8...especially the rubberized...very smooth. Fits perfectly in my hand, and the LED ring around the power button and the voltage readout are large and bright...very easy to read. I'm finding that my liquids vape well on the lower settings.
When I first came across your site several weeks ago, I have to admit that I was a bit leery about the credit card situation. But I placed and order, a 2nd, a 3rd, a 4th, and am so glad I did. You're so willing to answer questions, you're honest about your products, and, as I've mentioned before, the fastest shipper I've come across. You instilled confidence very quickly.
Don't worry about the occasional unhappy customer. Some people are going to be that way. They're demanding, unreasonable, and pretentious. Just move on, chalk it up to that person's individual "personality", and realize that you're doing an excellent job. I've placed more orders with you than with any other vaping business. And there will be more.
So you have nothing but applause and praise from me and many others here. And ready yourself, because your business is going to grow.
Great job and business!

You are the third or fourth person to mention boba's bounty so do tell is it a tabacco?
The ovale looks small damn it. I say damn it because I'm gonna want one now. Maybe I shouldn't of found this site ....

Heheh, good question.
The short answer is yes.
The longer answer is that nobody knows what's in it...it seems to be a bit different for everyone. It has a fairly light tobacco taste, but also a cereal/cinnamon/cookie taste. It also makes a difference how long you'd had it or let it steep.
To me, a new bottle tastes a lot like Joe Camel mated with a cinnamon graham cracker and had delicious vapor babies.
It also mixes well...I add drops of all kinds of other juices to my atty along with BB and most work well, even fruits.
The Price is Right...The ovale looks small damn it. I say damn it because I'm gonna want one now. Maybe I shouldn't of found this site ....
IMHO, I'd only get the rubberized ones. They don't have the "plasticky" feel like LD had said about his, plus the rubber seems to help the overall fit and finish as well. It feels pretty solid for $30 of plastic. With just an atty or carto, it looks like your carrying a mini-walkie-talkie or cell phone.
It's just feels sexy in your hand. Keep in mind that if you have really large hands it might be a tad small, but for most, it's perfect. I'd say Marb 42's pack or Altoids tin size, but a bit fatter as it is oval (Ovale...get it?) shaped from the top perspective.
First I need to try the twist. Then I'll most likely move up to more vv and mods. Thank you for all that info! I'm gonna have to re read everything when I get home. Rubber anything works for me. Especially since I drop EVERYTHING!

Updates.
Just because I like to talk and communicate my experiences with you all I figured I'd update you on somethings.
1. The merchant account has been going well, it's saving me a lot of time, I have still yet to receive a deposit so that's worrying but still, it saves me so much time it's not even funny. So all is good so far
2. Due to the nature of the merchant account I cannot change orders anymore, previously I was known for being able to add, subtract or otherwise edit orders once they were in the system. I can no longer do that. Please be mindful of what you order otherwise it's going to cause a mess
3. Today I was accused of being a sleazy vendor. I received an order right before I went to the post office (15 minutes ago)
I processed it, packed it and labeled it 2 minutes after it came in (new record) when the person got the notice they immediately emailed me with this accusation. I just came back from the PO to that email. He asked me to send a picture of the package, obviously I can't do that since it's at the PO
Normally I'd find that amusing but you'll see in number 4 below, it hasn't been a good week. So please know, if you get a ship notice, it means it's packed AND labeled, I cannot create a label until I weigh it, so it's impossible for me to send a ship notice before I actually have it ready for shipping. The ship notice is generated by printing the actual label. It still needs to be delivered to the PO.
4. This week I had someone go completely out of line for a bad ovale kit they received, he said (among other things) that he "paid fast" and "did not deserve this", I told him I would immediately ship one out, he demanded money for shipping (I sent a return label) I was at the hospital and made a special effort to get home and mail it before the PO closed. Then I received another not so nice email informing me the post office charged him 6 extra dollars. I told him the ovale weighs 2 ounces (or so) and I sent a label to cover 5 ounces just in case. Then he said he sent the whole kit, which we did NOT discuss and proceeded to freak out again that I had sent only the replacement Ovale and again demanded that I send all the parts separately. I was out of kits and told him so, then more bad and 'woe is me' emails (4 within one minute) and demanded to know why I wasn't answering right away or sending him the parts from my other stock (answered an hour later) The end result is I refunded his money and told him our transaction was over and he could keep what he had and what he would receive.
Most of you know me, if you're in this thread you have a good idea of what I am about. I have to say this kind of thing is completely unacceptable to me and I have neither the time or the ability to absorb more stress over something so trivial.
The kicker.. he ordered TWO ovale kits, so he had a working unit.
I am not saying this to call any one specific person out, if he is reading this, you can see no names are being proffered.
I am telling this story because it's just not something I want to deal with. Ever. Next time I will not be refunding any payment and not be cooperating with someone so belligerent. 99% are awesome people, but that 1% make this a very difficult second job sometimes.
I am out a kit (maybe two if he didn't send the original) and a third Ovale, but it is a small price to pay not to see this persons email in my inbox.
I wouldn't usually tell you all this story but I needed to get it off my chest if it seems like a negative rant I'm sorry, it was just really stressful dealing with this person.
I realize I am thin skinned and probably should be more belligerent myself, but it's not who I am.
It's also worth noting that another person had a similar experience with an Ovale kit and he not only gladly send it back on his own, but he thanked me for shipping fast and having low prices and said I shouldn't bear the cost of manufacturing defects
(I don't necessarily agree with that but I'm not gonna argue)
5. As you might have guessed from the above there are a few Ovale kits that have had issues, 8 to be exact, still a small percent but noticeable, I told the manufacturer and they said to stick with 2.0 cartos and above (lol) but it had a 5 amp limit (which I doubt) anyway, they are sending me 8 replacements so I am not out the cost of these ovales. I am not sure I'll be able to wiggle any more out of them but we'll deal with that if more have problems. The issues arise immediately so it's not something that happens, it's something that is bad originally.
I have noticed that if you screw a carto down too tight it will go bonkers and I have also noticed that LR and LR DC cartos do tend to not play so nice on the Ovale.
On to some stock updates.
The Kanger T2 shipped Wednesday and should be here early this week.
The CE3 won't ship until Tuesday (seems to be an epidemic of vendors not shipping on time)
But I purchased 10x the normal amount to keep stock.
The Vision 2.0 coil heads did not make it with this shipment and Vision is disputing this and it is delaying the Vivi Novas. I am looking for someone else to buy them from. I have put in an order with Vision but have yet to receive a PI for it.
The Ovale is in stock in all colors, except for the kits, I sell a ridiculous amount of those kits...
A few Ovales have come back with strange behavior, when I have received them back they seem fine. I am starting toi suspect LR cartos, too tight connections and that sort of thing, I am trying to find a pattern and will report what I find.
The Thors I have ARE identical to Vision 2.0 I have vaped two of each exclusively the last few days and find no difference between them at all, each of the units have the same two flavors and I cannot tell any difference, so it does not really matter which your purchase if you wanted to get some.
I have Kanger T2's, Kanger T0's (bottom coil), Vision heads, "Lava" 1.5 (not LRider), CE3's and a bunch of other goodies coming in shortly hopefully all next week.
also I was in a conversation the other day with someone about the back end of all this and they mentioned I must be rolling in money, this is not the case, yes a lot of these items are marked up 100% (or less when I can handle it and does not include exorbitant ship charges) but the behind the scenes cost of this business is HUGE, partly because of my return policy but in general it's not nearly as lucrative as some people seem to believe. Once I get to MadVapes size (fingers crossed) it'll be a different story, but for now, just know that I am not, in fact, stuffing my mattress with money
I am taking the rest of the weekend off (sort of) lol
Eric, I appreciate you posting that stuff. It's good for us to know what kind of stuff you have to go through.
Sandy
Oh goody, I've been waiting for the CE3s and Kanger T2's to be back in stock. Might get an Ovale kit as well. Since no one answered my question last time, I'll ask here instead. If I wanted to try a new clearo, would the Kanger T2 be better or one of those new Thor/Vision clearos?
Which ones are the rebuildable stardusts? There's so much now that I"m confused.
Eric, you ever thinking about adding any of the SmokTech Vivi rebuildable tanks? They are doing coops for them, but was wondering are you considering carrying them? I just think you can only order like 200 at a time minimum is why I ask. And for all that enter DV, EVERY TIME I have ordered from DV it has always taken 2 days (1 and 1/2 day really) for me to get an order. I have placed orders at 4:00 pm EST on a Wednesday and received by noon on Friday. I get the same time when I order from a vendor in FL. It takes 2 days for me to get the order. I don't know how he ships stuff from Connecticut to FL so fast, but I like it! Thanks Eric!
sure I can get them, didn't think there was a huge market.. shows what I know.. lol
I'll ask tonight.
Is there a link to it somewhere? I didn't see it in the latest price list from smokteck.

Vision 2.0 Clearomizer
I don't have the heads yet, they didn't ship them, but the thors will work on it.
Sorry Eric...didn't pay attention...my buddy sent the link from Alibaba or something like that...I didn't realize that upon my requests
If you can get them get all that you can carry ,Than get 10 x's that lol.
