I've been bamboozled! MFS sent me a code for an "exclusive VIP discount" due to my "awesome purchase history", but it's only 15% off. Oh, sure, they SAY they love me, but obviously they love you more. :)

Couldn't MFS just tell me I stink, and include a 50% discount?
Maybe it is based on your purchase history with them. My email alluded to something like that.
They have probably gotten about 30% of my vape business.

I ordered an istick TC40W that took the grand tour of the US on its way to me. Took 2 weeks by 1st Class Mail... kept shuffling in between Orlando and Tampa even though it never should have been in Florida in the first place. (CA to NC). But anyway, I love this thing. More comfortable better-working power button than on the iStick 30W and iStick 50W that I have.

I haven't even tried it in TC mode yet but ordered another one, this time from Eleaf iStick 40W TC Starter Kit - $37.00 : Rocky Mountain Vapor, The Mountain top of Electronic Cigarettes
With 25% off coupon code Summer15, it was only $27.75, with free shipping. Even Phil Busardo is saying things like: "I prefer this at about 60 watts". Even though I've tried super-low-ohm nickel coils, there's NOTHING that I need more than 30 watts for. Of course, a year ago, I was saying there's nothing I need more than 15 watts for.

Still really enjoying my Nautilus tanks with the BVC coils, as well as my Kanger Subtanks. The Nautili have considerably less airflow than the Subtanks. Sometimes I feel like a nut... sometimes I don't.


Of the last 8 books I've read, Watership Down is probably my favorite. I read it about 20 years ago.
Woot!

I thought I read someplace the iStick 40 TC only allows setting the temperature in TC mode ... that is you can't select watts or volts, just the temp setting. Is that right?

I've spent over $250 with MFS since March of this year.

Wow ... that's a lot of flavoring. You opening your own juice store?

I just got 8 more 13 ml bottles of Capellas flavorings today. $2.50 each at ecigexpress.

Just got a coupon code from HDV for 40% off CAP flavors.
lets see theirs is $3.79 for 10 ml so with 40% off it is 2.27 for 10 ml or .227 per ml vs .192 per ml at ecigexpress and ecigexpress is in original CAP bottles.
hmmm

Edit: And Ecigexpress just sent me a personal coupon code for another 10% off my next order :)

That's correct. Personally, I see that as an advantage, although it means that the battery doesn't last very long in TC mode. Another advantage, in my opinion: you select TC or wattage mode by means of a button rather than having the mod try to figure out what mode it should be in.

I have not had any problems with my iStick 30W or my iStick 50W. I realize that many people, including you, have had problems with those iSticks, and I realize that my dumb luck in not having problems with them makes me more willing to buy a new iStick with no track record. Still, even if never used in TC mode, the improved operation of the power button makes it even more delightful to use than the iStick 30W. I obviously can't rate the longevity since I've only had mine for 24 hours.

I don't believe I ever bought any flavorings from MFS. If I ever did, it was over a year ago.

oops! My bad. Since the topic seemed to be juice discounts/purchases I assumed you spent that money on juice.

That's unique then for the iStick 40 ... most other TC devices allow you to set power & temp.

Or, if you look at it the way I do, other TC devices force you to set power and temp. I just now edited my previous post to add some thoughts.

Wow, you little tank killer, you!
:cry:
I volunteer to pre-filter it fer ya! No, it's OK... really, I don't mind... nawh, no inconvenience fer moi whatsoever...
I prefer unfiltered, but you're welcome to all you want to drink if you swing by. At least you didn't call me a tank murderer. :)
I use isopropyl 90% with no issues... Maybe use absolut next time?
Little leery of using that. Vodka works well if you just clean the tank with it. Squeaky clean. I'll just never soak them in the stuff again.
Well, I just placed my first order for flavors to start my diy. I already have all the nic I was wanting for the freezer. Still have to get bottles for that. Since I just (finally) found a fruit flavor I like, & it's not a really complex combineation, I thought I'd start with a blueberry cream. I'm still short one of the blueberries I wanted (blueberry extra), & the bilberry that is supposed to add to the blueberry taste. But I got all the creams, & vanillas I wanted, & the sweetners, & blackberry, too. I got the smallest sizes of everything just to get started. And off I go!
Yes! Another DIYer in the family! :thumbs:
I'm surprised as well. Although being immersed in vodka for a few days might be called a bender.... but there might be replacement parts for them?
Thought it was worth a shot and went looking for their customer service page.

Customer Oriental Service

Customer First is all Anyvape people’s sprits. No manufacturer who can say there will be no quality issue. The difference is the solution attitude and method.


Who knows what I’d wind up with if I said I needed three new chimneys?
I just thought the concept sounded good.
Something popular doesn't not always equal something good , listening to todays music tells me that.
Don't tell Bells but I hear there is a cult following for vaping. ;)
I'm afraid to check my email. They might not love me at all. [emoji15]
Yep, they don't love me at all. :( It's okay, I need to save for new tanks.

No cults for me. By the time I became indoctrinated, vaping had officially gone beyond cult status and had graduated to being a trend. In the ensuing 2.5 years vaping has climbed even higher to become a movement.

On a totally irrelevant topic, am I the only person who thinks the tilted winking smilie is a mean-spirited psychopath? :)
