Great idea Janet! I'll try there. I looked at WallyWorld and Walgreens...neither have it!

Yeah, but they're still chain stores. You may need a pharmacy that fills compound Rx's. I guess the sterile cotton is an old fashioned item. I don't know what it would be used for these days so it's not surprising it's not so easy to find. Guess they didn't count on vapers! I don't see why sterile gauze wouldn't work as long as it's cotton and not a synthetic. The problem is I just went to my medical stash and none of the regular gauze says what it's made out of. I have one packet of Nu gauze sterile gauze sponges and it does say it's made of rayon/polyester. Hmmm. Maybe you'd be better off with cheesecloth from the supermarket?

    Has anyone here used Dwolla to pay for orders? I see GV mention an additional discount for Dwolla users. I had signed up (partially) back when DV couldn't process cc payments, but chickened out and didn't input my bank info.

    Does anyone know if Dwolla is good / safe?

    Dwolla is safer than plastic. I'm looking into using it myself.

    Just an update on the Knock off Vivi Nova's from youvape.com. I just got off the phone with the owner Dean was his name and a real nice guy. He is reimbursing me for the two novas I bought and more than made up for the missunderstanding about them. He does have the best prices on the Dekang juice I've found. 8.99 for 50 ml. E-Liquids

    Wow. Nice to hear about the great customer service! Good for you!

    I will add, I have never heard anything bad about it. Just don't want to open another acct that has access to my bank info.

    I can certainly understand your skepticism, but we've been using it for awhile now and it seems to be fine. Mike signed up for it and uses it when he orders from Vapelicious. I'm starting to see it in other places as well now. Mike will be along in a bit with more info on it.

    I am just over cautious. :)

    I've seen it and thought about signing up for Dwolla but have never done it. Probably won't. I think that I'd go with the PrePaid cc first.

    Dwolla is safer than plastic. I'm looking into using it myself.

    I started using Dwola about 9 months ago. Haven't had any problems w/ it. I 'kinda' like it better than Paypal, the fees aren't as high and they're e-cig friendly. You don't have to hide e-cig transactions. They even state - ecig transactions are OK. What I don't like is money transfer is slow. When I do a Dwola payment transaction it goes from my bank account to the payee. It takes from 3 to 5 days to clear. They must be holding my money for a few days making interest off it. You can setup an instant transfer - but there is a monthly charge for it. I don't remember the charge but it was way more than I'd consider paying each month. Lucky for me, the vendors I pay with it consider payment made as soon as the transaction starts and don't wait until it clears before processing and shipping the product. I don't know how other vendors handle it.

    Any experience with DV?

    I'm interested in that, I just hate it that P/P is the way they are about e-cigs. :evil:
