You probably know this already, but these bits work very good for flat bottom holes and the price is about $20 at Home Depot (7 bits in the kit). :)
Forstner Bits

And they're Ryobi, just like me drill *****sigh*****

I went to Walmart and looked at the breadboards, the contact paper, the chalk markers.... and then the little fishing tackle box which is $13.00 (vs. 50 to 60 bucks for the make-it-myself plan). Okay, it's big, it's ugly, it's green, it's plastic, it's a tackle box... but for the price difference (about a month's or more worth of e-juice, lol) I can't justify making my own vape station instead of just getting the big ugly tackle box to sort-and-store things in :mad:

That looks like a minimal investment for a first venture into tanks. Are those Boge XXL cartos pre-punched? They are also on sale.

Although the site checkout is a little different (no final confirmation after entering CC info, it just places the order) .. I picked up a few tanks (the black are the cheaper price, chrome cost more) , a few packs of the Boge XXL LR cartos (which are a good deal as well) .. they are not pre punched, however, I use a Bullet Piercing Valve by Supco that is heavy duty, does a perfect job and can be had on eBay or Amazon last time I looked for around 4 bucks .. and these guys are also offering some free liquid with order (their choice) ..

Priority Shipping was $6 and change .. no other option came up .. that's about right for Priority, although they have marked it up some .. a flat rate small box with which my whole order will fit in, commercial rate with tracking is $5.20 senders cost ..

I decided to stay happy with what I have. I don't have a punch, and that shipping is expensive. Unless you want to change the order, co-op and punch them for me? :unsure:

Sorry, I'd have to charge a markup on the punch job .. it's one of the tedious things I really don't like to do .. however, the savings in buying unpunched cartos has more that paid for the tool ... and in a pinch, I have a Bullet Valve if needed for anything plumbing wise that might require it .. ;)

Pretty good deal on iTaste MVP Starter Kit V1 .. here

Innokin MVP

code JOE10 drops it another few bucks ..

Well, obviously my motivation to try a carto-tank isn't very great. LOL. However, I am drooling over those MVP's. :p

Just a "heads up" that the V1 MVP is VV but not VW! For the price difference, I would pay more for the V2 because it includes the VW feature. Obviously they are clearing out their V1 stock at reduced price.

Yeah-- I caught that. I definitely prefer VW, better control. Now I need to do something to prevent myself from spending money.

I think I will go sit in the corner and read Fareed Zakaria.... His perspective on the world is unique to us.

Piña Colada from MBV... Ok, I guess, it it's the free sample and twice the nic I like and is 80/20 instead of 50/50.
I still had to remove one of the flavor wicks in the Davide's Kanger wick to stop the almost immediate dry hits.
Vape, ugh, suck, suck, vape, ugh... Over and over.
One dry hit was so bad, I had to gargle with mouthwash to sooth my throat!!

So, now that I have done my first round of running about for the day, I'm gonna sit here for a half-hour, then go take a nap!

Naw. If my Vamo were to have a fatal accident, I could order this:
DV eGo Twist - 900mah - Blue to tide me over until a replacement mod from fastech would arrive. I already have an elderly eGo as backup. I NEED nothing-- unless I were to find a Davide mini on sale.

I've been waffling for quite a while about getting an MVP to keep my itaste vvs company.

So I wandered over to iTaste MVP v2 Owners Group today and they had a couple of posts about https://www.completevape.com/ having the same price as the eBay supplier.

Just snarfed a Hunter for less than $30!

BTW, da coupon code I used was 200C12010.

Thanx!!! Just got an Energy Series MVP 2 for a little less than a VV V3...$29.92 with FREE shipping!!!

Now this is a battery, right, like the Egos and the Visions...? So one doesn't need to buy batteries to put in it?
