You go girl! I'm a weenie. Have tried subohming a few times, and just don't like it that warm
At .84 it really is not all that hot. More like pleasantly warm.

.5 gets hots. Though I got used to that in about 4 puffs when I first got the subtank mini. Now it just seems normal to me.

I still go 1-1.2 ohms on my STM's. 15 watts or so. Just a bit warm.

You know I bought 10 VTC 5's from illumn.com that someone on here told me about now I am wondering if they are real? $6.50
Isn't illumn.com one of the trustworthy vendors? Along with RTD, orbtronics, and . . . whoever the other one was.

Take 2 aspirin and got to bed. You'll feel better in the morning. :p

@2legsshrt you asked for comparison weight of the Radius and P3. Weighed w/ batt and no topper.

Radius - 6.75 oz, 191 grams
P3 18650 - 6.20 oz, 177 grams
P3 18490 - 5.35 oz, 152 grams
P3 18350 - 4.45 oz,126 grams

Don't know much about them, can you be sure that they are genuine batts from them?? I know a lot of folks order vape stuff from them, just not sure bout batts.
I've ordered other things from them. Never batts, but never heard anything bad, either.

They are the HG2's and they are almost non existent probably for another 3 weeks or so. Like I was saying Illumn.com has the VTC5's on sale for $6.50 heard they are dated April 2015 should be good for quite awhile if he still has some..
I got 4 HG2's from VapeNW for 7.99 each, but they are out of them now. 101 has them for 12.99 for a pair so I just got 4 more. I've been using VTC 5's, except for 2 Panisonic CRG18650CH's that were sent with a hana modz I got from the classifieds (which, btw, last longer than the Sony's).

I think he said he did with his credit they gave him, but I might be wrong, cuz I've gotten lost with all the names of different things. Forget what he wanted to begin with [emoji38]
Yeah, I posted that before I saw he'd done it.

Yeah Kenna I feel your pain. I've been waiting on a Cloupor Mini Plus 50W TC that I ordered from FT on 12/12. The last sighting was on 12/27. Guess if it hasn't shown any status update by Monday I'll be firing up usps for clues on what's up.
But like the song says 'the waiting is the hardest part'.
Good Luck
Lol! I got a message about an hour ago that it, & another package were both delivered! It's been sitting at the PO here.

Ok. My Vapor Bank order finally got here. It wasn't packed as beautifully as I had expected. It was packed by 'BB'. I wonder who packed the really nice one.

Anyway, here's the requisite photo of my haul:

VBhaul1.jpg


From left to right: Gaia, Caravela (with jade drip tip above), Kamry K100, Valkyrie, and Tree of Life. In the box above is my Kayfun stuff: Kayfun, M-tank, M-tank Nano, and Nano SS Glass kit.

I was wondering why I couldn't screw in an atty on the Valkyrie. So, I took the top off and discovered it's a hybrid. Surprise! I went back and looked, and it does say so on the site. I just hadn't noticed.

I can't believe the K100 was only 99 cents!

I think I may just have enough mechs now. o_O

Yes, those are the 3 that I've always heard are very respected and trustworthy

yay!!!

wow........that is quite a haul!! Good for you!!

I only ordered one thing, the Kbag I've been wanting for awhile. Now I have all my build stuff in one place without dragging out my huge box, this will fit nicely in a suitcase for Florida! it was 10.00 at vaporbank

Have to drill some holes in it though it has basically NO venting.
A lot of the Mech Mods are vented through the bottom under the button switch. I have 3 Mech Mods, one of them has visible vent holes near the bottom near the button switch in the body, another has vent holes around the button switch and the third one is vented under the button switch.

Hi ya
Nope just using the same stuff.

Got myself a woman so been scarce here and in other things in life :)

She lives about 450 miles away.
She came to Perth last week and we stayed together in a cabin.
Im going to her place on Monday.
Good for you! When my wife and I were dating, she lived in Medford, Oregon and I was on a ship in San Francisco, California. It was 361 miles (580 kilometers) one way. It was quite a drive on the weekends until she got stationed in the San Francisco area after we married. It was a beautiful drive through Northern California and Southern Oregon. Took my Goldwing a couple times and really enjoyed the ride.

Wolf, that's wonderful and you are forgiven. You do know though, that's about as time-consuming and expensive as getting a pup. I'm kidding. I hope you two get along famously through eternity. I only wish you the best, though I do miss hearing about Mum. Please give her a group from all of us. :wub:
Hi Tutu

Sorry yes I should.
Been lapse on a few things in life lately.
Even now Forgotten to eat dinner. :D
Dude, you need your strength more than ever now. :)
So the font has changed here ?
Yep, I like it better which means most others don't. They are so predictable. :sneaky:
I must have missed this one last night, Tutu, but yes, several of our critters get off on the vape clouds. First incident was in the barn when Lannie was vaping Brownie Deluxe and Helen - 1600-pound black Angus-Jersey cross milk cow - walked up and stuck her nose in Lannie's cloud. She kept sniffing and getting closer and closer until she was inches from Lannie's face. Apparently she loves chocolate smells. A baby heifer also gets off on chocolate-tinted vapes, but I am not sure whether it is the cloud or the fact that when she shuffles up to Lannie she also gets copious amounts of neck scritches. One of the house dogs (Zipper - female Doberman) also has her nose in our vapes constantly, but I suspect she thinks maybe they are something she can eat. Anything not nailed down is fair game for her to swallow it. The house chicken also seems to like the vapes, but if she sees the cloud coming at her, she ducks, then stands up tall when it gets to her. None of our critters avoids the clouds the way they did when it was smoke.
Okay, fell off my chair laughing. :lol: (So did my husband.) You guys get it, so do the critters. :thumb: El Whacko loves the smell of coffee vape. Wasn't as fond of my key lime vape craze, but likes the current blackberry ADV I'm on. Even the deer seem to appreciate it.

House chicken. That rocks! Does she have a name?


Spent a week or two scarce here because I was terrified El Whacko had a cancerous tumor. He didn't, thank god. I also thought he had a torn ACL or fractured hip. He doesn't. Vet bill came in under $500 less than I thought it would including meds and Lepto booster. :D What he does have is bad hips. :cry: He'll need one or both hips replaced eventually at $5,000-$7,000 apiece. In less than 17 hours, the meds have gotten him back to his royal PITA self. It was so quiet last last night when he was stoned out of his puny little mind from getting x-rays I vaped very little. Aggravating as he is, I'm vaping normally and breathing better tonight, not to mention Earth is steadily rotating on its axis again.
Lets see now do I buy expensive vape stuff or do I stay warm and eat for the next month? AND buy some cheap but perfectly functional vape stuff?
Hmmm...
Even If I was well heeled I have no interest in the pricey stuff just for status. Never did.
My first new car was a Toyota. I could have afforded a Corvette (was still single and a great job).
But I am just a blue jeans and Kbox mini kind of guy. Well I mostly wear Dickies Kahki slacks now. Just pulled out the flannel lined ones for the winter.
I am for function and comfort. I do get a kick out of the ones who must compete in the pricey area though.
Let them spend 3,000 for the latest and greatest TV. Me I wait a year and get a better one for less than 1/2 what they paid.
You and me both. I'm paying over 50% less for the stuff I actually really like now. I don't have a problem with people paying a higher price for what they like and what works for them, I'm just very grateful that I found what works for me a year or two ago and that the price has significantly dropped. Damned dog is eating up the difference.
Chinese New Year is Feb 8. The 12/27 status was processing out of China.
Glad you posted that, many don't know about it. The Chinese New Year goes at least a/over a week. For some workers, it's the only time they get to go home and see their families. Production/shipping screeches to a halt. Let's not blame the workers (we don't on this thread), let's just say it's the system's fault and wish the workers a good holiday, they deserve it, along with our gratitude.

Nice haul! I should have ordered more. Apparently your guy packed my box also. :lol: Tossed my invoice or I would check.

That is a really, really nice drive! I've done it (plus about 100 miles farther north) for about 55 years. :lol:

Yup, I got one of those from Vapor Beast. After the discount, it was only $11. I'm glad I had never heard of it before. I'm glad I didn't find out about it until I could have it. Very nice.
