Staples Magnifying Lamp This lamp is one of the best vape investments I've made, a well spent 40 bucks. My eyes are old and there is no way in heck I could rebuild a coil without it.
The link didn’t work for me but I was able to grab this "evolution+lighting+vision+max" out of the url, and google it.
Hate to admit it but that’s exactly what I need! You must be a mind reader, because I was thinking about getting some better lighting just this afternoon, the magnifier is also needed thank you.
ETA: you would probably get a good laugh if you saw me building coils, with a mini mag light in my teeth and a magnifying glass in my hand, lol
I DIY but all I use anymore are some flavors from Russia that are next to impossible to get from the maker 6-8 weeks if you are lucky enough to get them. I found a place in Germany but I also have problems with shipping there. I ordered quite a few and they have been 18 days now they left Federal Way this AM so hopefully they will come to Spokane next. I had one shipment that went back and forth accross the US twice took a month before I got them. The USPS has a real problem with overseas shipments from Germany because they write the address in a different way and the machine doesn't read it correctly. Its a PITA.
You probably already know my next question. What flavors are you getting from Russia and Germany that you can't get here? What am I missing out on here? A few years back I gave up and just vaped strong unflavored nic for a long time because I honestly never found a flavor I would want to vape for several days, and didn’t have the time to learn to make good DIY ejuice, eventually quit vaping and went back to analogs. The devices were also real junk back then too.
Im on it, thanks!
Well those clear days you had were our bad days and visa versa I bet. I have never seen a fire season like this one!
My old route was the Okanogan, it was heart breaking to see those folks go through theyre second year of wild fires. Last year Twisp and Mazama were on generator power for close to a month solid, even some of the grocery stores where I delivered had no lights, just running the coolers on generators and operating daylight hours.
I have heard we may get another mild winter with below average snow pack, I hope they are wrong!
They are called Baker Flavors. VZ carries some under their own label and they are the Gourmet SC. If you look at them there make sure they are the Gourmet SC not just the SC's. I think the reason for not carrying them here is the problem of getting them out of Russia and shipped. I'm really not sure. The guy that carries them in Germany took a year to make a deal with them plus he also lives in Moscow and is high up in a company that has several ecig shops in Germany and surrounding. They are very concentrated and they are sold as food flavorings but they are really good. You can check VZ I'm sure these would not pass some of the states regs on flavors but I think the major problem is shipping from Russia.
I just checked at VZ and they have a lot of the flavors. They are called VZ Gourmet SC. I get them cheaper from Germany but they are kind of a hassle with shipping because of the USPS. VZ rebottles them and puts a hell of a markup on them but a lot easier to get. Many can be used at 2% and some up to 3-3.5%.
I also can't be positive but I think they might weaken them a bit. Also the charge the same for 10ml as the Russian charges for 100ml. But to get Shipping by air you have to order $3000 worth.
Also the Russian only puts the 100ml size in plastic so any smaller they have a lot of breakage. IDK if they have an elephant step on them or what. This is the website for the Russian not sure if he is even taking orders from the US and it is really a hassle but you can look.http://baker-flavors.blogspot.ru/2013/10/we-accept-orders-on-our-email.html
Also a real weird way of ordering. You email your order. They email the price with shipping back when they feel like it and you have to send the money by Western Union. You have 3 days to do that otherwise the order is cancelled. Once they receive it they start working on it. I heard it goes by Russian Post to a seaport then when they get a container of mail for the US they send it by ship. PITA
If you just want to try a couple VZ is the way to go at least you will get them. My last order that I am waiting on now is a little over $100 worth.
Wow looks like they are strong concentrates, and in pg too, I am definitely going to have to try these flavors! Thank you for all the info, I can't wait to see how the coil master works,lol. I had an idea how to build something like that a few years back but never followed through with it.
I have learned so much and met so many good people in this forum in the past two weeks, Im glad I came back, thanks everyone!
I have ordered items from over seas and it was just like you described, the first month is stress wondering if someone pocketed your money, then nearly two months later you are surprised with a package.
Sometimes but you have no come back from the Russian site. If you don't get it your out the money. I'll send you a message tomorrow.
For those in the US, this may or may not be the same lamp from Staples?

LOL...I posted a link from staples.ca. I never thought that the lamp would be a Canada only item. My lamp clips onto the side of a desk, it doesn't have a base and with some 2 way tape I taped the switch under the desk beside the clip. I would assume any magnification will help some of us old pharts who's eyes ain't what they use to be. 
For you DIYers out there....
