ProVarinati Diner & Saloon and Beyond

I still have some low usage AW 18500s but thought it'd be a good idea to hedge my bets and get some of those adapters.

Seems like I've ordered from there before, but to "verify" my order they're requiring a picture of me holding my drivers license. Nope. Just nope.

I understand Indiana is not a friendly place for vapers, but every other vape company I've dealt with found a better way to verify age a long, long time ago.

Along with my geekiness, I bask in my geezerness. How dare they! (semi )

As I was typing this, I got an email confirming my order. Guess I'll see if they follow through or not. And yes, I could call them on Monday assuming I remembered - but that geezerness thing sometimes causes problems with things like that . And anyhow, why should I have to? Not against verifying age at all, I'm actually a strong supporter of that. But it needs not to be so intrusive. I'm sure they're great people there but I absolutely do not need a photo of my drivers license traipsing along the net.

Yep. I really need those adapters but they didn't mention their archaic verification system until AFTER we'd given them all our info. We have no way to send it in, not that I'd want to do it that way. We don't have a smart phone or whatever else would do it. Other sites did it via CC info. And when does a battery adapter fall under some kind of verification process?

If anybody knows of a place those adapters are available that don't want your DNA, I'd love to hear about it. And yes, they'd be for my beloved 2.5s.

It's nice to know the information is helping some people though.

Why aren't the vape stores flooded with these seeing as so many people are looking for them? I tried doing internet searches and every thing I found was sold out or no longer available. Baffling.

Help, I'm on meds making me very out of it.

It's a conspiracy. It's all smoke and mirrors. Reality is not really happening, we just think it is. Everything we think is solid and real is not really there. Life is but a dream...
When I die, I'm not actually going to. The energy of my being is going to be where it actually belongs.

... and all they say, “Pass the nuts.”

Then the cat eats them.

....only to find out they have a peanut allergy that makes them....

Sorry about that, guys (and gals). I don't have a problem with the age verification since people everywhere ask to see dr license as id anyway. I understand those who don't want to do it, though.

I ordered a 'few' extras so I could probably mail one to anyone who wants it. I think it will just fit in an envelope and still make it through their 'slot'. I recently mailed one of those fuse things and the PO gave me grief about thickness of the envelope and said it would probably end up in 'dead letters'. It did make it to the destination though.

I mistakenly ordered a bunch of button top 18650 Sony and LG batteries from Illum. I am so bummed because you can't return batteries unless they are doa. Meant to order flat tops. What a screw up. 16 in all. And the good ones, too. No clue what I was thinking. Gonna try to talk to Illum, but I don't blame them if they won't take them back. It says right on the site that they don't, even if you are stoopid

I had a DOA battery from Illum and they did, in fact replace it. Had two others that were weak that they resisted before I just gave up. The Efest batteries I bought from Illum are poor. Thy work but don't last long.

They are very good at defective returns, but do NOT refund for MY mistake. I don't blame them. And I don't know anyone who uses the button top. Live and learn.....

Holy Moley!!! Looks like a lot of work to become a Verified member and I've been here 9 and a half years!!!!

What's the word on KeepPower batts? I'm considering the Panasonic batts, but saw the Keeps, and was wondering. They supposedly have 10 amps CD which would be plenty for me.

Don't bother at the moment, classified verifier has departed for parts unseen. It's really not that hard if you use the paypal method, but currently verifications are down.

It's too bad I would like it if they were more active with new members wanting to old things.
