I'm a heavy, heavy vaper!! my 18650 vv mod lasts about 6 hrs, my 14500s only last about 4 or 5 hrs. :vapor:

Haha, so I'm not the only one?! :) I wouldn't be able to make it from morning to the time I got home from work without a battery change if it weren't for the fact that I always have two 18650 devices with me at all times!

Luvinit, thanks for the note and I would love to try the vivi but there never in stock. I have the 1st version the stone and it isn't or hasn't done well. Sounds like they have the probs. fixed with the vivi.
I haven't been able to use my Rocket in about a week.. hubby hasn't soldered my wire back on yet (grrrrrrrr!) I'm really, really missing my Rocket!!

Joeman... I've had the same problem with random tanks not working. I'm guessing it's something with the connection. Most dct's work, a few don't, but they work on my Twists... strange.

On a side note, I got my Vivi a few days ago and am still loving it! Anxiously awaiting the next round of alpha stuff!

serious question ...

Why do you guys wait to order (when you want/need stuff) ...till more stuffs come in ?

When shipping is only like $2-$3 ??
I can see doing it for $5 or more I guess, but $2 ...

I'd rather have what is in stock & order again when new stuff shows up ...
then WAIT for the whole order & save $2 .

I guess I have waited till I had several things I really wanted b-4 I'll order ....
rather than order say, just 2 stardusts.:blink:

I don't. Wait, I mean. You are right, it's only 2.50 or thereabouts, and usually it's taken care of by the newsletter discount anyway. I really can't make large orders anyway because of cash flow, so I make small ones when I need stuff and when it's available.

The only time it's worth it is when you have a one-time coupon for the whole order, like the smiley face one. I'm saving for that one. :) I hope several things drop at once some time next week. I got a paycheck coming on Fri (two months late for some bizarre reason, but, then, thou shalt not ask why Social Security does anything...), and that coupon burning a hole in my pocket, and I got my eye on several things, but especially that lava-lamp looking tank, and the batt that goes with it, and a couple of other things. Anticipation is killing me. LOL

It depends. I've certainly purchased things right off the bat, especially if it's a hot item that will go out of stock quickly.

I will wait if I have something in my cart that I don't have to have and I know something I really want is supposed to drop soon. For instance, I had a pack of phoenixes and an 808 to 510 adapter in my cart, neither were emergency items. I had no idea that the adapter would go out of stock, ugh. But, I went ahead and ordered since nothing was dropping today.

I also hate paying shipping on a low price item. I prefer to spend at least $20 at a time and get some bang for my buck. Not a lot of time has passed since I was literally counting pennies for gas money and it's given me a complex of sorts. I cringe every time I make a small purchase and the shipping costs half as much as the item.

OH NO !! :shock: Not NOOK hell :lol:
I have tried to surf w/mine & IT IS mind-numbing-ly infuriating & MAKES me cuss !! :D

Amazon Kindle isn't any better. The experience is mind-numbingly frustrating. It'll surf, sorta, but navigating with it really is a trip from hell. I don't even buy books with it, I do it with my 'puter.

On the other hand, I love my Kindle anyway - I haven't had it out of my hand since Christmas when I got it for a present. My cabin is decorated in "early library" - I have no more space for books, and I am a reading fanatic. The e-reader is a God-send for me. And easy to read for my eyes.

Yep, that makes sense. I kinda feel the same way. I usually get about 20 bucks or so, at least, worth of stuff, more often 30. Less than that, and any shipping but 0 bugs me. LOL

What bugs me more, though, is not being able to shop at all. Grrrrrr... Hurry up, Friday! :D

I can't speak for anyone else, but in my case I just don't have the money to be able to order whenever I'd like too. I'm living (or should I say existing ) on SS. I don't have and wouldn't use credit cards as it would be foolish for me to waste money on the interest they charge. I would have loved to order the new stardusts as soon as they dropped. I have a couple in my shopping cart, but they and anything else that may drop between now and next Wed. will have to wait while I keep my fingers crossed that whatever it is I may want is still in stock. :)

I definitely sympathize... I exist on SSI, and that's a really miniscule amount. When I jump on stuff, the consequence is usually that I don't get to eat anything decent the next week. I call it the GV diet! :D
