Squish - What Janet H said.

It has taken me about 3 weeks to be willing and curious about some of the other ways beside a Cig looking VOLT.
I love it and it will be my main stay. Im getting a pipe , well have been gifted a pipe setup.
I think for me those two will keep me happy for a while.
It may take a bit for him to completely let go of the tobacco habit.
I still do 2-4 a day, but the want need is waning.

Elbertdee, I'm wondering what sort of pipe you got, and how you're liking it. I've been looking at them, and am leaning toward the FS4313 with cartomizer from AZsmokefree.com.

He got an Echo Kuwako pipe but he disappeared shortly after that and I never heard if he liked it.

Early in the morning and I'm vaping ECBlend's black cherry in a CE3, man this stuff is good. Spent yesterday fixing lawnmowers, push type. While the riding mowers (mine & sons) are running well, both push mowers were being a pain in the ..... Ended up cleaning the carburetors and changing the plugs. That was my Saturday basically. I did make an impulse buy yesterday, a stainless VTube Mini from Apollo. My black one is working fine but I'm a freak for redundant backups and like the look of the stainless models. With the "vtube30" code is was just $73 shipped and it adds 2 more batteries to the collection as well.

I spend to much on this hobby but when I remember spending $45 per carton on smokes every week - I'm not really mad at myself. Another big order from ECBlends should show up Monday and I'm glad about that as the 10ml bottle of black cherry I got from them is nearly gone. It's great by itself and also makes a great mixer - add a little to some RY4 and it really makes it tasty. The nice thing about having "selected" juices is I can now buy big bottles and have a good supply on hand. Also ordered another RY4 variant from Rawr and I'm hoping I find the sweet spot there. The last 2 I tried were to tobacco dominant for me as I like more caramel & vanilla than tobacco.

Morning all...

[/QUOTE]

Did your ordered an extra battery with that? I didn't notice when I ordered mine that they (Apollo) had changed the kit and now it only comes with one battery...

The Apollo VTube Kit comes with the following:

1 variable voltage regular (5 inches) or mini vtube(3.75 inches)
1 black Apollo Leather Carry Case
1 high capacity 18650 rechargeable battery for the Regular VTube, or 18350 for the Mini VTube
1 battery charger
1 drip tip
1 3.0 ohm high resistance 510 atomizer

Needless to say I was a little disappointed about that, I mean what do you do while the battery is on charge...I know, I know...I have backups too, but what about all the folks that don't. Just sayin'. :smokie:

Wow, you're right. My first two kits came with 2 batteries - this is not good for the noob at all. It's still a good value but they just went down a notch in my book for cutting it from 2 batteries to 1...

I couldn't agree more! I ordered the Red Vtube for my wife and it came with a blemished tube...got that part straightened out with them, no problem...except I'm out another 9 bucks for return shipping. I'm still not thru with them, but got to wait til tomorrow when they open. Their chat person helped as much as she could, so I am happy with CS. But, I'm thinking compensation...

I see their batteries are flat tops and the 18650s are (like all other ecig sites) a little pricey. Check Battery Junction I didn't see 18350 flat tops there, but you may find a better price somewhere else...usually a higher mAh for same or less money. Avoid GTL batteries...Google it and you'll find some bad reviews on those. Vape on! :toast:

OK, instead of quoting all the past Xtar WP2 II charger spacer posts, I just bought some spacers at the VapeStock gathering. I'll send the first three PMs two spacers just for po$tage!

If this violates any forum rules

, contact me ASAP. Da spacers are free, po$tage isn't...

that was really sweet of you Iffy!

Wow Mike, kudos to your daughter, but that just looks insane to me. Love the cause it supports though.

Crowded! I think next year the organizers will need to reserve a larger building. While roaming the venue through a London 'fog', it hit me; "Wow, think of all the cigs being ignored!"

I only purchased ten spare charger spacers, five 510 extensions and two 306 bridgeless atties. Since I DIY, I didn't take any of the multitudes of flav samples. If I had, I could of vaped free for a month!

I did a prearranged trade of some syringes for some MT small bottles with cheekymonkey.

Hope to make next years gathering!

As for new items, not really. I truly think the ECF Forum is the foremost prognosticator within the industry. Just think of the LT; one lead vendor, then *boom*, many vendors had inventory. We heard of it here first.

Thanks, Tex. I may go that direction. I already have the Kuwako and I like what I've read about the Echo. I currently use the Kuwaku with my DSE701 cigar, so the Echo would be the least expensive way to go. I like the looks, features, and the reviews of that F-4313 though, and adding it would give me two different style pipes. Elbertdee will probably be back. I've been out of circulation a little while myself.

My brother in law just got a jazz pipe...he likes it. He chose that one because he said all the accessories were nonproprietary and available anywhere.

I'll have to check out the F-4315 first I've heard about it. I have a DSE601 Pipe too and it is a very nice looking pipe. I got the full kit on sale for 30.00 from DV. It is very similar to my tobacco pipe that I used to smoke. It has a very good auto system but you are limited to using their builtin atty and cartridges. I was pleasantly surprised to how good it vapes compared to all the negative repots on it. I probably wouldn't have bought it but just couldn't pass on it for 30.00 and I'm really glad I got it.

Do you have a link for that F-4315 or who sells it?
