Did anyone else get their goodies from this big sale? I got tons of goodies.:mail: Everything was well organized and packed so neatly in a USPS priority box. Not one empty space in the box. I thought about the video game Tetris when I opened it up. :laugh: And they threw in a few vape bands.

I got some thing's. Did you get an email confirmation? I didn't so I just checked the order again. I ordered Friday. It's showing that a mailing label was created on the 3rd, but USPS doesn't show it picked up yet. I got the 4-7 days shipping, I guess that means 4-7 days before they mail it.

Did you check items received against the invoice? That is the important part.

Yep, on my last order of multiple small items - there were three missing. The vendor (not this one) ignored my request for either a refund or my missing items... I guess they figured since I was buying stuff on clearance it was not worth their time - will not be going back to them either...

I got the confirmation email shortly after I paid for the order. I ordered Thursday and it went out on Thursday. Maybe the holiday is the snag. The guy in charge of packing is obviously not the one taking care of orders/emails, this box looked like Monk (Tony Shalhoub - OCD detective series) packed it, I highly doubt he would even sleep before getting HIS orders out. :)

I don't like hearing about your snag :(, but I wouldn't worry about it for now. They do have contact info on the website, so if it doesn't start moving in a couple days, submit a ticket.

Most definitely :thumb:. The only thing off was the color of one of the small kayfun windows. But it had the o-rings and screws together with the other parts, so wasn't bothered about it. Everything else was perfect.

BUT, you REALLY had to see the packing. I wish I woulda had a camera to take a pic of it, it was BEAUTIFUL. :) :lol:

Can you tell I'm a bit OCD myself? To see such organization, is a magical thing.

Hmmmm, here's an opportunity for me to get back in the writing business. A new book:
I Married a Thread Killer

Vanna, I'd like to amend dat to ...Thrill Killer!


And they threw in a few vape bands.

Vape bands...?!?! I thought dose were fer... oh, never mind...

I received my order today and, yes, wid quick shipment and great packaging. I think I got by cheap in supplementing my cache and can slumber tonight knowing I'm just 'bout ready fer any day-um governmental vapin' assault!

See above...

... as we all should! Actually, since vaping has become a major BT/BP/governmental intrusion and a profitable genre, I've yet to encounter any CS dat has not been an unsolvable issue in my vaping shopping sprees. Got an issue... contact 'em. If any vendor will not work wid ya, phush 'em!

Will say dat our overseas sources have come a looong ways in meeting our expectations.

That said, there are many USA vendors dat do go da extra 'mile' to maintain their customer base. Support 'em!!!

I got mine from different vendors at different times including last month from vapor range & I had to adjust the 510 in several. All of mine are Ehpro. You should be able to hold them up to a light & see a perfect circle of light. If it's not a circle then the airflow is being chocked at the 510. All it takes is a vert tiny adjustment of the 510 clockwise or counter clockwise to fix it. I had 2 that had no airflow at all. I hade to take the 510 out completely & rescrew it holding the positive post tight to the deck with a pair of slip adjustable pliers. Once it was fairly tight, I lined up the positive block where it should be & finished tightening & lining up the airholes. Everything fell into place & lined up & stays tight. I just had to do it from square one. I havent checked the newest ones yet.
I can only put a paperclip through one of mine. So, what are 'slip adjustable pliers'?

I'll go ahead and operate on this one, plus the one that has the loose positive block. The rest will have to wait, in case they work fine the way they are.

By any chance is there a video?

Looking at the google images of spare parts to try to imagine how it really works, I'm amazed the ones that aren't lined up with the hole in the positive pin actually work at all. That's where all the airflow comes from!

The air goes into the hole in the pin, then flows up the tube in the center of the pin up into the chamber. And, comes out under the coil. So cool to know how things work!

However, to make them actually work right is not my strong suit. But, I'll give it a try. Any videos to watch (to see what to do and what not to do, and to give me courage)?

Haven't got mine yet. But, now I'm looking forward to seeing how it's packed.

My last order from Fluid Vapes was short an item. It took 2 emails before they acknowledged me. But, when they did, they were very apologetic and shipped the missing item VERY quickly.

Do you see the hole at the joint? The bolt can move between the two holes, to give you a wide mouth at the teeth, or a narrow mouth.

Not seeing any videos. I figured out how to do it myself after being told to look for the issue.

You need 2 pairs of pliers. A regular kind, & a pair like this: http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-84-50...=1451959847&sr=8-2&keywords=adjustable+pliers

Oh the vendor that I was talking about answered my first email and informed me that I ordered more than they had left in stock but no suggested remedy. I emailed them back and asked for either a refund or to send me a replacement flavor of anything that they did have in stock (not picky) - that is when they decided to no longer acknowledge my emails...
