So if you guys feel like indulging in a long short story about my day today while you sit back and enjoy your vape I'd be happy to share.

About a week ago me and my wife moved across country to San Diego CA. During the move I ordered a Zenith V2 and some juice from velvet cloud to enjoy when I got to my new place. Well after lots of waiting today was the day!

I signed up for text updates on my tracking and this morning it said out for delivery :). I have to say I was more than excited. I've been running an atomic rda on my Hana for a while. And I have heard nothing but good things about velvet.

1018 am my phone beeps. "Could this be it?" I though to myself. Indeed it was. Your package had been delivered. Praise the vape God's that chose to shine there lights upon me tonight. Little did I know, the vape God's are jokesters.

I walked outside half expecting to see it on my doorstep (I live in a town home complex with no front office, just consolidated mailboxes). Well I didn't see it there. Let me back track just a smidge and say this was the first time I have checked my mail since I have lived here. I went to the mailbox and opened box number 6, which is of course my box. The key opened it up just fine. Inside were two letters addressed unit number 10. NOT MY Unit!

After I was finished seeing red I gathered my thoughts and called the local post office. "we can try to contact the driver but we can't make you any promises sir."

After two hours of no response I decided to visit the office myself and speak to the manager. After waiting in line for about 20 minutes he informed me the mailman would be at this address in 5 minutes. I raced back to my car and made every green light between me and this address I had plugged in to my gps. I was greeted with a couple flipping through the mail in front of there box.

"have you guys seen the mailman? "

" you just missed him, boss. "

" any idea where he went? "

" no, sorry man"

Well [Moderated]. I drove around the neighborhood to no avail for about an hour. It was about 2pm. I called the office back and they said the only thing they could do is have me come back to the office and wait for the mailman. He should be there between 4 and 5. In my desperation it sounded great.

I went back to the office and the mailman walked in the door at 430. He told me he was positive that my package was delivered to my box and there must be some mistake. He clocked out and grabbed the car and told me to meet him back in my complex. I followed him back to my house and he told me to open my box. I stuck my key in to box 6. He said no sir yours is box ten. I said no this one is mine, my landlord told me so. I turned the key and opened box 6. He said wow that's not supposed to happen. That box belongs to the guy that lives in unit 10. Open box 10. I stuck my key in, opened the box, and now I am running my favorite build in one of the best attys I've ever tried. Thanks awesome mailman. You saved the day.

And here I sit reading this and thought you were going to say it was stolen on you. It has happened. When I have delivery coming I sit on my front steps like a raving rabid dog waiting for that mailman..lol he laughs every time and then will ask me if I'm waiting for a package ( I would like to just tell him I'm waiting to get to see him but I don't believe in telling a lie) ..lol and then he on occasion will tell me he doesn't have anything until he see's my face ( Not sure if at that time if my eyes are glowing red or not) but he almost runs back to his truck to get my package. I have a great mailman :)

Man... I love and hate getting vapemail. At my apartment, the mail comes at around 5:00, when I get off work, and what happens is they throw any package that can't fit in the tiny mail boxes into the office. And the office is supposed to close at 5:30, but they usually run off a little after 5. So my vapemail ends up sitting in there, all alone, with me crying outside of the office door :( lol But seriously I hate that place.

So....wait....who's box is number 6 then? or 10?....or...i'm confused....do this mean someone else in yer neighborhood also has a key that opens both boxes?

Haha so I live in unit 6 but my box is box number ten. The guy that lives in unit ten, his box is box number 6. It was just a strange coincidence that our boxes coincide with our unit numbers like that. And no I don't think his key opens mine. The locks are just so worn down that when I wiggled the key it opened his.

Looks great and Congrats. My only suggestion is Vape your Velvet when you get it...VV does not like to sit around for any extended time period....Mine got worse with age...

Someone should write a TV series....Waiting for Vape Mail...

I can submit 4 or 5 episodes...Yours was a beauty...It would be called "The Mailbox Twist.":laugh:
