The Differences..
I've noticed that most folks when they want to upgrade their daily Vape. It's more power they are going for.
Well with me not right or wrong at all; I just notice that I go for a better tank. Air Flow, juice Channels, better Build Deck. I feel that it's not the power, but the device that is asked to deliver whatever.
Just a thought..
What are yours thoughts?

I agree. I have multiples of mods that work for me. High power is not necessary for a satisfying vape, the JDS (juice delivery system ) and build is the key. I am a simple tootle puffer and although I love my Kayfuns (lite v2, 4, mini v3s), I still rebuild my EVODs, T3s and H2s (Kanger bottom coils) and get a satisfying vape.

I've been vaping for almost 3 years and finally placed my first order with Fasttech. Ordered a Coppervape BF sqonker and some spare bottles. It's purely a mechanical mod, but that won't be a problem as I can still think and calculate. It's my first foray into bottom feeders, I think it might be interesting.

Says it will ship tomorrow, so any guess on when I might see it ? I got no idea myself, but I know FT has a reputation for deliveries that take a little longer than usual.

I walked two miles today. Part of the walk was through downtown. I had been told two months ago that there was going to be a vape shop opening up. Friday I was told that it had opened, and where. Went past, and looked in. Not much there, but I see he has LV wire spools. No flavors. Lots of nice regulated mods, saw no mechs. Apparently it is vet-oriented, as one would expect with VA Hospital and military base. Eager to visit, although I CLEARLY have all that I want or need.
His feature is that he calls himself a talented chef, and his juices are good. I had a taste of his key lime pie. Very nice. He has even set up a webpage-- very military oriented.

My last order from them took about 2 1/2 weeks, not bad, really. Some have had orders stuck in US Customs for a while, though.

Hey you guys have probably already seen this but they have a Therion DNA75 I think Squonker.
I saw that! Didn't look for a pic on the inside. It's gorgeous! I think I'll stick to Reos for repair ability, tho.

So how old is an "older folk"? And from reading some of the posts here this thread is not about a specific topic?
Welcome to the porches!!

It's my first foray into bottom feeders, I think it might be interesting.
kewl. Reos are just about all I use, though I have been trying a couple tanks lately.

Good Morning!

I've rattled through a number of mods in my journey - 20+ lined up on my desk. Toppers - that's where I'm finding myself looking when I want a particular "type" of vape. I lean on single-coil RDTAs mostly, when I'm in the mood to build (or at least re-wick) I'll pop a blister pack when I want something "in a hurry" or "no-fuss".

I suppose I could cull my herd and live with six of my mods and maybe six toppers. But what fun would that be????

@Bolivar , I order from Fasttech often. Once I receive the shipping notice it usually takes 10 days to 2 weeks to get to Florida. Now that they come through the Miami port. When they came through New York, they would often take a tour of the East Coast before arriving in Florida. I just use the e packet or US First Class shipping option. Both seem to take about the same and are free for orders over $20.

Thank you, thank you. At that price I ordered multiples + extra glass replacements. If they still have them when this month's money arrives I'll probably get more.
Please don't get concerned if you don't get your package as quickly as usual from GotVapes because of this...
GotVapes is taking a Vacation!
Gotvapes is taking a much needed Vacation so there will be
"NO" shipping from August 31st through September 10th.
Vacation at Gotvapes!

was this it?
Mary's Citrus Delight

10% Juicy Orange (Capella)
5% orange cream TFA
4% lemon (TFA)
4% mandarin orange (TFA)
2% Tangerine (Capella)
Lemon juice - 1 drop per 3ml (yep, just the little yellow plastic lemon)
optional- a drop or 2 of sweetener per ml
This is a mix and vape recipe so no steeping is necessary.

Bull City's holiday code is active now!

Ok...you got me! Almost made it through Labor Day without buying anything. Had to put in an order to Bull City.:facepalm: I have to try the Citrus.

Tried the Delasco rayon. Really easy to wick but tastes funny to me. Kind of like the funky taste I get with some of the KF V3's I ordered from Fasttech. Going to change the insulating gaskets to peek and see if that helps.
there is a minor break in period. if you want to avoid that time,, simply flood the atty with juice when you test fire the new wick. then when you put the whole atty together,, test fire it again making sure the juice holes are wide open. by this time, you may taste nothing or the very last left over of 'brand new rayon'............heaven is shortly there after :)

when i say flood,, i do mean it,, like within 1 drop of becoming a dripping/overflow problem.

I re-wicked my giriffin today with sally's rayon and as always it takes 5 or 6 short break in vapes before that new rayon taste is gone. Much less time than it takes for cotton to fully break in IME.

We've been using Delasco for a long time and like it. If you pack it too tight, you'll get an off taste for a bit of time, 'till the wick is well soaked.
