Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[Robert Cromwell]

looks like I'm about to join the ranks of those vaping unflavored base.....not by choice. Order hasn't arrived...all I have on hand is some base sent by my friend when he mixed up some test juice for me to try, in case I needed to dilute it to cut the flavor....

What did I miss? Why ya vapin unflavored not by choice it seems?

 

[Robert Cromwell]

I know for a fact that there are vendors here in the US that buy directly from eleaf.....and my own personal feelings are......I prefer to support the vendors here who are struggling against all the silly, stupid laws being passed, so that we may continue to vape.

I only bought one order from Fastech some cheap tanks and I sold those at cost to another guy who wanted them badly.
I buy over the net from domestic suppliers.
But I may someday again buy from Chinese suppliers, no promises. My local B&M's do not cater to tootle puffers, just cloud chasers.

Please don't misunderstand.....while there are vendors here who buy directly from eLeaf, Kanger, Joytech, etc., there are also vendors who aren't as scrupulous in where/who they buy from and may very well end up selling something that isn't the authentic product.. The trick is in finding the vendors you can trust...

I have no problem with anybody shopping wherever they wish and getting the best/most they can for their money. I was merely stating my personal preference. I'll take a chance on buying coils for my tanks, but when I shell out for a mod.....I want the real thing.

Do most US vendors buy direct from the manufacturers or are there middlemen distributors involved?

Yes.

Just a wild guess, but I'd suspect it might depend on the size of the vendor's operation. Smaller ones might go through a middleperson since the makers might have minimum size orders that don't fit their budget. Hard for a small outfit to justify say 1000 of any one product...

... he's down to about 5 cigarettes a day!

Ya just put grins on a bunch of ol' porchers. Awesome achievement, fer both ya'll!

Today's haul from Charlotte, NC via Anaheim, CA:

Sexy but I would prefer black buttons. If these work well, Eleaf is going to have some serious competition on their hands. With a Subtank running around $35, this is a $25 50 watt mod that uses replaceable 18650s.

Redesigned RBA Deck. Them is some big juice holes.

The OCCs that came with the tank are indeed the new BVC so I guess it's BVCOCC now. The ones that came in the 5 pack are the old horizontal coils. I have never received any vapemail that had been opened but the outer box definitely had been torn open by hand. Everything was there and the plastic wrap on the kit box was intact so NBD. Gonna wick it and give it a try later.

Nice metal!

no invites are needed, unless you're on a phone and can't get there, then we need your email address. Or at least I do since that's the only way I know to do an invite for those who can't find it.

I was surprised that unflavored tasted much better than I thought it would. A little sweet, even though it was high pg Had hoped to already have this stuff mailed to you, but haven't been able to get with my son yet.

I think I added you to my friends or however they call it. Did you get that? Will that work?

Unflavored tastes better than quite a few flavored juices I've tried.

 

[nicnac]

That is one sexxxxxy setup

yeah I added you back. Took me a minute to remember who the google name went to lol It might, will check in a minute

 

[Metal Storm]

not my night....can't get the quote to work now. I looked for the terms....found a button said"billing agreements"....clicked on it....said I don't have one....didn't give me anymore info

I ordered from them a couple weeks ago. IIRC, it did take a bit of looking around during checkout. I think there is a place where you specify your method of payment so the CC info box will appear. Their shipping was fast. Seemed like a good vendor to me. Give it another try.

Yep not much flavor is much better than bad flavor.

Unflavored is the only thing I can ADV. Any flavored stuff either starts tasting like unflavored after a few hours or it starts tasting bad. So I go with no flavor at work and it tastes good all day. Coils last longer too.

After you run through it for a few days - let us know what you think...

The only thing i can vape all day is straight friut flavors from FC concentrates. Watermelon is good. Any of the flavorings from TFA or Inw will mess my mouth up after about 4 hours of vaping. Takes it about another 4 hours to get back to normal.

I like a fruit vape but not as satisfying as a flavored tobacco.

Trying CAP and Natural from HDV now.
