Jup they either don't understand or fibbed to ya. They have to charge because the deeming doesn't allow free samples to be given away anymore. Most contests have stopped now, except for the ones from China. One US vendor found a way by giving a "huge discount" on items as a prize lol


I know we're apposed to.......but cents win????

I'd bet the former, it was a kid with his hat on backwards and these things in his earlobes. I think I chased him off my lawn last week...I doubt he knew the score, because nobody else does. The whole thing just torqued my shorts....still does.

Jup, we're all torqued. lol on the chased him off your lawn. Might be nice though to talk to the mgr sometime when you're in there and see if they'd be willing to donate what they have to charge to the cause like so many other shops are doing. they've covered everything in the damning. It's fully designed to totally decimate vape shops, and that's no accident. Don't know how some folks can look at themselves in the mirror.

Question for those using SS for coils. How do you know when to change your coil? I changed kanthal when it started looking bad when I dry burned it, or flavor started falling off. Not sure how long they should last now.

If you meant SS I go 2-3 weeks then dry burn them brush off the ash rewick and your good for another 2-3 weeks. At this point I will recoil them if I have the energy or dry burn them one more time. The way I tell is the vape starts tasting a little different but it dry burns really well.

Thanks, Legs! I did mean SS, sorry for the typo. That's how I did it with kanthall, too. I'm okay then.

Got my rayon today. Widdle teeny box. :lol: It's okay, has 40' in it, should last a lifetime or two. Another thing to add to the will.

Got a FT order. The larger than expected "real" flashlight's box was crushed, the crappily packaged five glass tank replacements weren't even chipped. Go figure.
Yep. The more expensive ones will do that. :drool:
That's pretty cool. At 93, I guess that's never going to happen for him and it's a shame. He loves music, the only autograph he ever got was Louis Armstrong's, and he knew a lot of famous people. Jazz/opera = fanboy. It would be wonderful to give him back the gift of music but sadly, that ship has sailed. Pretty damned cool for the rest of to know that that is an option.
Well, winter will be settin' in soon, been thinking about flushing out the cars cooling system and adding fresh e-liquid.
Ya think a 50/50 blend would be a little to thick when it gets cold?
Well, duh, yeah! :lol:
some of it (particularly 100 ft) is twice the price of say lightning vapes, but I bought my ss at temco anyhow. Also found out to really look at prices at Temco. 250 feet was 30 cents to less than a dollar more than 100 feet. 2.5 times as much for pennies more. But I love that Temco is USA made and sold

so sorry you're sick. Hope you feel better very soon

same here except for one this year. My big decrease in colds was when I stopped being as mobile. Didn't get out around other folks too much. the one cold I got this year was one my gd brought home from school.

jup he already said they were the emdccs he loved em! I hated em. Couldn't stand the filler carto material and something on the rubber whistle tip made my lips puffy and sore after just a few toots.

maybe that's what is wrong.......I did it with the left ear

welcome back! Congrats on the new house!!

I delete things when speaking all the time......or at least my brain does. Start a sentence..... halfway through, whatever else I wuz gonna say is gone! :facepalm:

wow hope PP comes through for ya. Really sucks the etopfun or whatever acted like that. Don't think I would have ever bought from em anyhow, but definitely won't now.

hehehe now that is commitment!!

sorry life is kickin ya in da britches hun!

meeeeeeeeeee tooooooooooooo

hehehe jup!

Congratulations! Your multi-quotes are longer than mine, and that took some doing! :lol: But yeah, Temco rocks.
it is at LV too. But with getting 250 ft at temco, it worked out bout the same. And LIS, I trust temco more
That's my bet too. Who knows where LV or other sources get their wire. Since nobody else says, I'll put my money on Temco. Besides, it's made in the USA.
Thank You! :D
Hahaha! Sorry... I wasn't clear about that on my post. Both of those pics are of the same T-Mod. It has black hexes on one side and red hexes on the other. :oops: Guess I shoulda 'splained myself better.

Thank you! I've never really paid much attention to drip tips... as long as they were wide enough bore to get the job done... The vast majority of my drip tips are whatever came with the attys.

Good grief. :facepalm: And that is why there is a huge misconception that vaping is evil and must be stopped at all costs... :(
I didn't pay much attention to DTs, until I tried to replace my old one. What a PITA and waste of money trying to find the right one. :facepalm: Like with other aspects of vaping, it's very interesting what works for other people and what doesn't.

Yes, vaping is the Devil and must be stomped out, no matter how many lies must be told. :evil:

That sure looks like that is the tactic they believe in...
You know what is amazing to me here is how little people know about vaping. When I got a haircut yesterday I was talking to the barber and he hardly even knew it existed let alone all the laws they are trying to enact.

I haven't noticed a difference at the Brick and mortar Vape shops yet, but online; most definitely. And don't like it one bit. That Thread on here about the age verification has grown to 45 pages seemingly overnight.
I just thought about it and I guess that says that looking at me that I look old enough without question.:?::cry:

Jup. If you go to a site that requires it, you say... oh, I'm not going thru all that. There are sites that don't require it. BUT... that's shooting ourselves in the foot. That seller gets less business and ends up going out of business. So we end up with less choices. Ketch numbr 22.

You know what vaping is so unpopular here I have never been to a B&M. I think there are about 3 in a city of 250K. Thats in 8 years of vaping.

Wow and that is quite different.
Bummer Legss
Yeah it's really weird that it never has caught on here. I do see the occasional vaper in a car going by, you can always tell when a big puff of vapor comes out the window. The closest B&M to me is probably 15 miles and they even have a vape lounge up on the South Hill which is even further but that part of town is sort of Yuppie city.

I can empathize with what you're saying, however I'm not putting my cell number out there for the info to end up costing me identity theft. Too costly for me then. So that me verses them thing.... I'm afraid it's them.
