Origin vape is OK. I've ordered from them before. They give you the option of choosing how you ship it if I'm right. They have nothing to do with the shippers price.

Thanx fer divin' in, And a warm welcome to da porches. Make yourself at home!


I'm not familiar with them.

I've ordered from 'em a couple of years ago; great prices/specials and am a happy customer.

Yep Otherwise you might end up spending more from quitting smoking; than you ever anticipated and along with have way too much to ever enjoy using. OVERKILL!;):danger: Got to get other stuff done besides vape gear. I've done the same and saved a lot so far
But if you should ever find that you have too much and want to Pay it Forward; "vape for Vets" can always use serviceable Gear, and you'll know that it's definitely going to a good cause. You can find them on FaceBook. I've sent quite a bit of my old Gear to them and they sure are grateful for the donations. Jus Sayin:):headbang::thumb:

Never can have too much gear. You seen that Lost Vapes Therion. It is so cool. DNA75 but expensive for a DNA75 129.95 at Originvape. 2 18650's. I'm pretty sure the price will come down but I've seen them at 3 places all the same price. Must be fixing the price like YiHi does.

@Kenna we are already to go all we have left is stuff we need in the house for morning. Got the car hitched up, all the vape gear about 800ml of mixed juice my 5 favorite flavors 7 ecigs 9 attys and 2 waiting for me there 1 quart of VG PG and about 10 diff flavorings, nic, cotton, wire 4 different kinds I think I thought of everything. If we forgot something its not vape gear maybe something unimportant like money. Lotsa food coffee, perrier. We're loaded for bear. Damn I didn't get a gun. I was going to do that but it's hard to remember the 3rd Wednesday of the month only day you can get a concealed weapons permit without having to drive 120 miles RT. Not going to use my KF got the juice shutoff. A couple years ago when I had 3 KF V2+ they all leaked all their juice out going over the mountains. It's fun to go but fun to get home again too.

Before trying to catch up again, here's another reason not to have cats. From a Portland, OR newspaper, 3 July:

"Officers assisted a woman whose cat was being terrorized by a raccoon. After a brief standoff, the raccoon snatched handfuls of cat food and ran through the apartment complex. Officers pursued the bandit, but lost chase."

If you can't visualize the raccoon running off, try this:

Nope, can't make it vape related. :(

How's Oscar doin??? Hope he's healing up well.
That's right, Happy Birthday!
tumblr_mc9zafeyvx1r8gwz8o1_1280.jpg

(He could look happier but he's older than you.)

Oscar's doing very well. His improvement has exploded over the last four days. Don't know why, perhaps the degree of pain he's been in, he's seemed to actually get it that he needs to recover and accepted it.

It's somehow encouraging to watch an animal that has no understanding or expectations of recovery get well again. Completely selfish on my part. You feel badly for a while, feel sorry for yourself, then suddenly almost a miraculous recovery. We aren't the only ones that go through that. :lol:

Firday he goes in, gets bombed and put through the x-ray machine. I should read fine and then WE ARE OUT OF IMPRISONMENT! I don't remember what it's like to go outside on a whim. Not to mention kicking his .... out the back door door to take care of himself in his pen at 1:30am.

Freedom rocks!
Ya, I watched a video last year where a young lawyer... maybe 35-40... said that the deeming only pertains to Tobacco derived nic. He further stated that someone could figure out how to extract from old furniture, and that would mean that the regs don't cover it.
I still think there was something in the deeming that covered that but can't find it. They went way to far and will hopefully burn in hell worse than CA will in the next 12 weeks.
When my wife first started her chemo one of the things she said she happy about was that she wouldn't have to empty the litter box anymore. It turns out that there is something in cat litter that can cause complications with chemo.
Funny how that works. Last dog was completely loyal to me. This time I thought it might balance things out if I did the extensive training, play, time spent, etc, with El Whacko and my husband fed him. Guess where El Whacko's true loyalties reside? :grr:
The problem is that mindset is world wide - not just centered around anyone thing. I worked for a company that while having a meeting with a client in one room about their requirements they had another meeting going simultaneously reviewing everything that the client was overlooking and that they could capitalize on later...
That is truly despicable.
I have my final vapemail scheduled for delivery tomorrow. If I avoid reading these threads so much I might actually be able to stick with not ordering anymore.

But I am looking at the Pico's - I only have one mech stealth mod and I think it could come in handy.
If you stay off the stocking threads it might help also. :lol:

Thought I was going to get my Pico today but it was a different order. :( Turns out the Pico is still at FT waiting for one more item to become available, scheduled for tomorrow. Doesn't matter, still don't have a battery for it. :lol: I've heard nothing but good things about it around here.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Porches can be SO costly! :confused: :eek: :D
You think it's bad here, stocking threads are deadly.
I still have a t-shirt with this logo that is over 25 years old...
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have realized the vast majority of my logo t-shirts are 25-26 years old. :cry:
My mom was in a horrific car accident back around '02. I drove to the airport w my girlfriend and asked to be placed on the very next flight to Chicago. Price? More than $3,000. I didn't have the money so I waited a week and flew the two of us round trip for less than $1,000.

Thank God my mom was OK, and my brother was by her side.
Welcome to the porch Tommy!

You might have gotten a cheaper flight going on standby. They might even have had some sort of emergency discount. I don't know. I loath how they gouge people in a dire situation. Over the moon that your mom recovering so well! :D

But, But, But... :D

I've heard nothing but good things about it around here.

Haven't pushed the button yet on the Pico - not sure I need a 75w device and I think I am getting more and more where I do not even take my PV into the store anymore unless it is a big shopping spree in the mall...

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have realized the vast majority of my logo t-shirts are 25-26 years old. :cry:

I am sure we all own a lot of things that are that old - not just logo t-shirts...

I loath how they gouge people in a dire situation.

Some (most) airlines offer discounts for family emergencies. They need Red Cross verification (or some other verification) or a copy of a death certificate. When my wife's father died they gave her a hefty discount...

I guess that my brain isn't working as well as I'd hoped. ;) Appreciate the vote of confidence though. :)
well we still have tons of confidence! You usually have the right answer, and anyone can make a boo boo. At least you got to the right info.

When my wife first started her chemo one of the things she said she happy about was that she wouldn't have to empty the litter box anymore. It turns out that there is something in cat litter that can cause complications with chemo.
Jup, and it's bad for pregnant women to mess with em too. Didn't know that about chemo though. I know I sure didn't like breathing the fine dust that was kicked up.

I just got a letter in the mail for me to verify my age according to WA state law from Mt.Baker Vapor. I've never bought anything from them but I did have an acct. So now it starts. [edited] state.
hate to hear that.

I have my final vapemail scheduled for delivery tomorrow. If I avoid reading these threads so much I might actually be able to stick with not ordering anymore.

But I am looking at the Pico's - I only have one mech stealth mod and I think it could come in handy.
hehehe you stated and negated in ONE post :lol: I wasn't familiar with dfw vapor either. Seems funny one from GA and one from FLA was but two Texans weren't.

Oh, the vapemail coming requires a signature with verification of age upon delivery - it is coming out of Texas...
did you have to pay the extra 6.00 for that? If not then it likely has to do with the deeming regs instead of the law that Texas passed about a year ago.

Yep Otherwise you might end up spending more from quitting smoking; than you ever anticipated and along with have way too much to ever enjoy using. OVERKILL!;):danger: Got to get other stuff done besides Vape gear. I've done the same and saved a lot so far
hey hun, good to see ya!

Nope, can't make it vape related. :(
I can sorta.......scott was probably vaping when he had to save spazz from messing with a .... this morning that was trying to get to the food he puts out for strays.

That's right, Happy Birthday!
thanks darlin......but it's tomorrow. :)

Firday he goes in, gets bombed and put through the x-ray machine. I should read fine and then WE ARE OUT OF IMPRISONMENT! I don't remember what it's like to go outside on a whim. Not to mention kicking his .... out the back door door to take care of himself in his pen at 1:30am.
awesome!! So glad he's doing much better now. I know you'll be glad to not have to be carryin him up and down the stairs! How's your back?

Well that's awesome anyway. It all got worked out and that's what matters. ;) Aftyer reading this, I was gonna spit ball another idea, those wide "produce style" rubber bands but once you got the battery in, you'd probably never get it back out again! :lol: Nevermind............. :| :D Go with the Scothch tape, maybe the wide, clear packing stuff so you can cover more surface area, @LittleBird. ;)

Just my :2c:. You STILL da man, Kazz!!! :thumbs:

HA! Yeah, I'm pretty sure that rubber band would make that a 'one time use' mod! :lol: It's all worked out now, though. Simple battery switch. All 18650s are not the same size, so switching to a slightly longer battery seems to have rectified the situation. :) LittleBird did a bit of experimenting with different batteries last night.

That bein' said... YOU DA MAN, Von... I'd never be able to grow veggies in Alaska! I seem to kill everything I try to grow down here in Texas! :lol:

The reverse is also true - some mechs the tubes are to tight and damage the battery wrap... I had one damage 3 wrappers (just slightly) before I caught it and quit using the mod...

Very true. That could probably be fixed by using a different battery, also. 18650s are 'supposed' to be 18mm diameter and 65mm long... that is rarely true in reality, though.

well we still have tons of confidence! You usually have the right answer, and anyone can make a boo boo. At least you got to the right info.

Either way, you know that I'm always happy to help. If I know the answer, I'll gladly share it. If I don't, then I don't mind trying to find it. ;) I :wub: you guys and gals!

Jup, and it's bad for pregnant women to mess with em too. Didn't know that about chemo though. I know I sure didn't like breathing the fine dust that was kicked up.

I think the biggest issue with litter boxes and chemo is largely due to the bacteria that collects there. The chemo lowers one's immune system, so exposure to that level of bacteria can cause someone with a compromised immune system to get dangerously ill. Then it becomes very difficult to get rid of the illness.

Yep, even here in the city, my back yard is crawling with raccoons and opossums and squirrels. And the last time I tried to plant maters, the birds ate more of 'em than I did. :lol:

Meh. I don't mind takin' care of 'em if they make my Bride happy. Of course, she returns the favor in her own ways... I have a sneaky suspicion that she snuck in behind me and hit the button on my fasttech cart recently. I mentioned that I needed to complete the order, and she keeps steering me away from the computer. I should probably log in and check my cart, but I'd hate to spoil her surprise. ;)

How the heck did I lose one screw out of the bottom of my radius? So I ordered 2 sets of screws from provape, you know just incase it happens again..........never thought to put that on list for the damn box.
Hi radeljack! Welcome to The Porches! We all have loose or missing screws, so have a sit & join us!
