Fourth of July sales, pretty thin so far. ECF Suppliers *Independence Day July 4th* Sales

I did get an email (on the other computer) from RTD that they were having a 15% off of everything sale, then the computer crashed before I copied the code. I'll try to retrieve it tomorrow if no one else coughs it up.

    Point taken, Smarty Pants, but the best you get from them for batteries is 20% off around Christmas. So, y'know, if you need good batteries now... :oops:

    Actually I said that because I've noticed it as being a bit of a trend.
    Many in the vaping community have been heavy into "stocking up" to the point that now we are seeing companies (like RTS) closing their doors due to lack of a steady flow of continuing business.
    Hopefully RTD has expanded into other markets enough to survive.

    .... We already have everything we need! ....

    Add:
    Those companies don't sell to the general vaping public. They never have! We were their only market.
    I'm not in the market for anymore batteries (Gawd I've already got about 50) anymore than I'm going to buy anymore flavoring (already got a boat load)

    Point being that a majority of
    us have already postured ourselves for any FDA actions. (that market has already reached it's peak, and is now waning)

    RTD has another site, RTD Electronix, where they do most of their business according to what the owner told me. So they should be ok.
    Authentic AW, Sony, LG, and Samsung batteries at low prices! We have the best batteries for your device.

    Well said! Janet and I are well stocked on nic and we buy flavoring to last us month's before making another purchase. We've only bought 2 new PV's in the last year (we used to buy that many per month). I just did buy 4 new batts from RTD to replace some almost 2 year old ones. So our buying has really gone down significantly.

    Agreed. I'm stocked on everything but batteries. Those will remain available as will wire, rayon, PG, VG, etc. I think yesterday was when the extra $2 per pack of cigs (for the kids) in Calif. kicked in so some vape shops may see an uptick in sales in the near future.

    Being stocked up isn't all it's cracked up to be. :grr: Over the last number of months I've periodically gone through 20+ pages of new arrivals at FT and haven't found a thing I need or want. Serious vape mail withdrawals, all I'm left with is junk mail. :cry: Okay, I did find one thing I want somewhere else. Angry Red Bird Tanklet | Alice in Vapeland :)


    I almost upped my nic after seeing Christie on the beach today.

    I ordered some flavors last night from Bull City. Their s&h charge was reasonable, and "Honey" came up with a small coupon. RTS may have a big sale, but for a small order, their s&h was ridiculous. Ordered a chocolate, a coffee, a root beer, and a cinnamon. Need to develop some new mixes, as I have more toppers than I have juices.

    well, 3mg...
    you can always double-fill your toppers, put them all in a bowl and stir them around, then set them on their stands... and have yourself a nice surprise each time you select a tank to vape :D
    I retired my spare little 2.5's, refilled the others, got two extra bottles and brought out some unicorn bottles someone sent me (they are cute). Once I receive the order, I am most interested in making a Mexican chocolate, with a bit of the cinnamon and a jalapeno seed. then a root beer float (I have enough cream flavors that I didn't get the float offered.) I have five more to dream up. Using the tiny ones will work well for new mixes as I fine-tune them. OH-- I also got a desert ship. I am changing around the labels without regard to what they previously held, so I will be in for some interesting surprises. I might again double up on some of my favorites, like biscuit and butternut.

    Yesterday was a bad back day, so I am mostly reading today. I have also overcome my solitaire addiction. I cannot today think of anything more boring to do. Satiated.

    The device in my bedroom is the one I use least... it will last over a year between battery charges/ refilling of tank. The one on the couch arm lasts months. The one by my computer desk is also the one I stick in my pocket if I'm headed out the door, and it doesn't last 24 hours between recharges/refills. My joose bottle and battery charger are naturally at the computer desk as well.
    well.......I do have another mod/atty coiled/wicked up, ready to go, juice bottle filled. But I remembered one reason I don't like using more than 1 mod at a time........invariably one gets ignored a lot, and I like my batts to be used/charged evenly. I did try two, but I reckin I'm just a one mod at a time girl. If I had my own place, and the whole run of it, it might be different. But I am trying to remember to take the mod to bed with me, when I actually make it to bed.

    More regular? More regular than watt?


    Haven't tried TC yet. Thinking about it makes my head spin.
    tried it.......prolly did it wrong......didn't like it and that confirmed to me that I don't need it. Heck I barely ever even use a regulated mod.

    Pulled off that ring, exposing the juice flow holes & there ya go! At black K5 headache is fixed, works like it should, & my tinker nerve has moved on to the base with the manufacturing defect. I do like to tinker.
    you go girl!!! Good on ya. I don't like to tinker but on occasion am forced to

    Ensuite bath? I'm jealous! Enjoy!
    meeeeee tooooooooo I have wanted my own bathroom for so long! Literally have been dreaming about it lately!

    Wow, reading about everyone's daily habits with mods and juices makes mine seem so boring but it works for me. I keep two mods filled - my istick for when I'm outside gardening and my provari for inside. Same tank and same juice in both. Been using those same tanks, mods and juice flavor for over two years.

    I enjoy reading about all the new devices and flavors but have no desire to experiment.
    Jup what works for you. I'll make ya feel better though. I'll make around 450 mls each of various flavors (cuz my pickle jars hold 473mls). I'll probably vape 1/4 to 1/2 of it before using a diff flavor. One mod, all day every day. Sometimes I might switch which mod it is, at which point, I'll usually (not always) have a diff flavor

    but there is one vape-related thing: I've been using my new Lost Vapes Therion DNA75 mod since early this morning and I really love it. I'm not very appearance-oriented, but to my eyes it's very handsome, in addition to having excellent solid construction with a chip well-known for quality and reliability.
    kewlios!!

    Pulling an ECF no-no here because almost nobody goes to the other thread.
    at first I also thought you meant the FP as other thread...... and thought, we do....but you don't. (cept to read sometimes). But that was hilarious! Made me belly laugh outloud

    Anyone know of a waterproof mod?
    uhmmmmm......... ....... it's on the tip of my tongue ....... ......... it'll come to me inna minute................ oh wait.......I know....

    A REO silly girl! :wub:

    I read several of the threads also. Very fishy. And it's been several days and they still don't seem to be able to get their story straightened out. What does seem to be clear, so far, is that they shot themselves in the foot.
    hmmmmmm whatever is going on..........wish they'd ship what I ordered on 6/27 I was sure it would have shipped yesterday. Unless they used that and today for a 4 day weekend. hopefully tomorrow

    This the one? Windoze cut and paste ;)
    that was nice of ya.

    For example, for strawberry I use a mix of TFA Strawberry Ripe and CAP Sweet Strawberry to get a nice, rounded, strawberry flavor.
    I haven't gotten that detailed. I've been trying to get at least 120 mls of flavors I use a lot, so haven't gotten a variety of one flavor, but want to at some point........especially for strawberry.

    Fourth of July sales, pretty thin so far
    and this used to be the best sales of the year

    Gosh ...... I sure wish I needed something. ;)
    I can live and function just fine without.....but would love to get some more batts, and a new xtar charger

    Many in the vaping community have been heavy into "stocking up" to the point that now we are seeing companies (like RTS) closing their doors due to lack of a steady flow of continuing business.
    excellent point.

    RTS may have a big sale, but for a small order, their s&h was ridiculous
    Jup it is high cuz their flavors come in glass. I had won a 90% off coupon and had been hanging onto it. With the emails of GOOB (bet bells has a conniption over that one) ;) I decided I better use it. I borrowed back some of the money I gave my son. 150.00 order came to 15.00 then using UPS ground another 15.00 for shipping. That would have stunk if I'd been payin full or near full price. But I'll spend $30 for $150 worth of stuff anytime I can.


    love love love me some Paul Harvey and have since I was a kid and we listened to him each week (or was it day)? And this one is one of the best! Thanks for posting
