I'm not so confident about orders from outside the USA. Remember way back 'when', when shipments were being seized by customs. Could happen again. If a product doesn't meet US regs/standards it could be barred from being imported.

Prezactly (as KD would say).

With everything going on with the FDA right now, and the possibility of not being able to order stuff anymore. :unsure: I am tempted to order 2 more Billet box's, 2 of each of the KFL19's, 2 more Dicodes mini's, 1 more Dicodes charger. I also have thought about ordering replacement boards and screens for my Dicodes. If I did all of that in one month, that would be quite a bill to pay all at once. I really wonder if it is really going to happen this time. I have never heard if the FDA is going to appeal that court case they lost. :unsure:

Well I guess this answers that question, at least I have a bit more time.

Court orders FDA to set 10 month deadline for PMTA's

KAS
the way it read to me is they got 10 months now to get the PMTA's submitted, with a one year period for the FDA to review it?? This PMTA thing is like a soccer ball getting kicked up and down a field...

I'm not too optimistic about the future of legal vape stuff, pretty sure the other side of the market will still be around though :lol:

And then there is that whole reducing the nicotine in cigarette thing they were supposed to do...:facepalm:

Anyone ever ordered from these folk. If they're legit, I'm getting a red/black Classic.

I've never ordered from them, Hobbs, but I've known of them for a fairly long time. I'd be very comfortable ordering from them if I wanted something.

Obviously I can't vouch for them, but I've not personally seen anything that would make me concerned. Nice deals, for sure.

The description of the mod made me laugh! Them BB's are pretty cool mods, I love mine :)

The creator of the BB is/was quite a character, he had such a unique wit about him. I really liked his early threads when he interacted with us. He used to post pics of them being made also, which was very cool. :thumb:

...sometimes with old things, they should be just enjoyed for what they were when their time was...and in so doing, honor the skill and craftsmanship of those who built such things...in their own time and place in the grand scheme of all things.

As I was reading your message, at first I was really impressed with a very elegant, effective solution to the bearing problem. But as I read on, it seems as if I've found a kindred soul since I could have written that exact passage with those exact words. Bravo!

I took a chance with them to get some that I wanted for my collection. If you make an order then we can celebrate or commiserate together. :need some of those theater masks emoji:

I have a red/black Classic on the way. They only ship Mon-Fri, so the vape mail wait begins :)

did you speak to someone to verify availability?

Do you know something about them that we don't, Turf? I ask because I've never done that before.

I don't know if it matters but I think it was one of their employees who first posted it on Facebook (earlier this morning).

Nope. Maybe I should have D'OH
The price isn't what ProVape retail would have been. For the red/black Classic when it first came out, retail was $159.00 so I figured at the price shown, it wasn't an old ad. Of course at the "end of days", prices were much lower for the Classic. I bought a polished one from ProVape for $69.00 (but prices went even lower) and the satin one pictured above, I paid $39.00 from ProVape.

Yeah, happy :censored:ing birthday, Steel! :cry:
Here's the deal with Steel... Jackie picked up a cone of shame ($21.50)Wed. from the vet. We COULD NOT put it on him! I know what some of you are thinking.... No, we could NOT! I can't breathe and Jackie is so skinny, she stays dry in the rain. Neither of us could hold him down. Since he would only lick once in a while and we usually caught him, we decided to let it go...until today. Jackie got worried as the sound of Steel licking would wake her up. Off to the vet she went with cone of shame in tow.
Good news: no infection, doing fine. After hearing why Jackie was there, vet insisted Steel wear cone of shame. "Be my guest..." Jackie told him. The vet is a young man. Took him and a assistant several tries before being successful. Vet ended up straddling Steel in the corner while assistant put it on. This was after giving Steel a sedative before going to vet's. Vet thanked Jackie for giving Steel that as he said without it, they never would have gotten that cone on him. Going back next Saturday for follow up and removal of cone. I told Jackie to leave cone at vet's. She said she is going to bring it home and let Steel chew the hell out of it.
Bad news: I am sure this is nothing new to most of you dog owners, but of course Steel absolutely hates it. He just stands or sits in one spot and won't move for like 1/2 hr. at a time. Can't get him to eat or drink anything. Tried holding dishes up to him to no avail.
He was just standing there with his head hung in shame when I sat on the floor by him petting him and telling him it was going to ok. He tried to get to me so bad, pressing the cone into my ribs, I thought he was going to break them. I started to pet his head and console him. Then it happened. I thought he was attacking me. He jumped up, put his legs across the back of my neck and just stood on his hind legs hugging me.
I know a couple of you advised me previously (I think) on how to feed and give him water if he wore the cone of shame but I didn't pay much attention as I didn't think it was going to matter. Well, now it does. Any words of wisdom will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance! :thumb:

Here's the one I posted, and the others are probably close to it. Poor little guy looks miserable, and the cone looks really long, so you may have to come up with a way to raise his food and water up and inside the cone.
