If you insist on giving stuff away what other internal battery mods do you have?
I’ll look tomorrow. I’m bushed. I know an aspire nautilus, a couple of Geekvape Frenzys and flints, all plus coils... I’ll definitely keep any aegis minis and isticks. Those I love. I like the concept of a pod, but I haven’t found one with af/draw I like. The little zlide on my istick 40 serves the same purpose in the end.

    That’s ok. It was the Aegis mini I had in mind. LOL:lol: I do not need one. I have 2 now.

    Good or bad news... if I don’t get this pile of stuff cleaned up before Himself gets home from the Camp, you can sign up for first pick from my estate :lol:. I’ll let you know if I find anything else interesting... I have a bunch of newer (last year or two) stuff stacked on the shelves I haven’t gotten to yet. If I was smart, I’d wait and have a vape garage sale a couple months after deeming... but I’m not greedy enough I guess. I’d rather help someone else stock up

    Vape mail in house. 2 Minifit pods. Really like these tiny things:)

    I do, too! I love them even more since I've filled 3 of them with 3 different eliquids and just put the little silicone covers back on them. I swap them out really easily & quickly. Taking 1 Minifit and them with me...sure makes my purse lighter, too, on quick trips into town. :)

    I seem to like something really well and buy a lot of that one thing.

    Besides Shinyitis, buying multiples of favorite mods, kits, tanks, RBAs, etc. is another very contagious thing on ECF. I've got a bad case of it myself. Not fessing up to anyone any more, about how many Berserkers, Zeniths, boxes & bricks of coils, nor mods and kits that I've got. I've already told a few people about the mods and kits though, and they better keep Mum about it. Although, even that number has changed in the last 24 hours. :D

    ETA: I'm not just buying for myself though. I've got some put back for a relative, a couple local friends, etc. who know I'll always have a variety of vaping gear if/when they need it.

    I bought a frenzy also. I didn’t like it that well and never bothered to order any extra coils for it.

    I like the garage sale idea after the Deeming date. We all know what's happening and can take advantage of some great sales and deals. Most vapers don't even know about ECF and either don't seem aware of the latest news and/or can't afford to "get stocked up" in a short period of time. I'm sure some of them in your area would love to buy your excess vape gear later at a garage sale. I don't think that would be greedy of you at all...to sell it to them then. Instead, it would likely be very helpful to them, IMO.

    It’s nice, but just not enough air, even with the lower ohm coils. I really wanted to like it, because it’s so small. Perfect for going out. Honestly, if I kept one it would be the Flint. But mainly because I can put a different tank on it. Maybe I’ve just gotten too picky in my old age. The zBiip is great, uses the zenith coils I like, but it’s as heavy as a larger mod. It might work for you, men’s pants are a little more mod friendly than ours.

    I couldn’t take advantage of someone else’s ignorance. We have a distinct advantage of endless up to date information, and info on sales that beat local prices by a mile. Look at people you know who shop at b&ms... they’re not being told the truth to protect sales numbers at their stores. Out of the big local ones here, all with online presence, I’ve only seen one advocating for challenging deeming. Or even letting customers know change is in the air. If it comes down to someone not having gear and going back to smoking vs me giving them my extras, they can have it. Of course, they’re not on here, so they’ll never know sadly

    My current favorite pod is the bident.

    Funny you mention that about B&M's. I almost never go to any, since my first month of vaping. They knew almost nothing, and didn't really have anything for me.

    But I saw one today I hadn't noticed before, thought I'd stop in and see if they happened to have replacement pods or anything interesting I might want. They had no idea at all about the pending executive order. OR the 5/11 date. When I told them, they thought I was confused, and said -" Oh those laws changed a long time ago. We don't have vape tasting or stuff like that anymore. We'll still be able to sell our flavored juice." I persisted, and they really didn't get it. At all. I just left, and told them they needed to google Trump eCigarette flavor ban, that it would be a really big deal for them. They thought I was nuts. On the one hand, I feel sorry for them. But some business owners really don't learn their own business enough to deserve to survive, I guess.

    The one around the corner hardly sells anything but Smok at a beyond premium price and cruddy juice at even higher prices. I’m waiting for it to turn into a head shop which will go over like a lead balloon in this neighborhood with a Catholic elementary school across the street :rolleyes:. The owner had an online cigarette rolling machine/tobacco business before (don’t ask, not sure what it is, but that’s what she said) and got into vape because it was SUPER profitable. She’s close to my age (let’s just say over 50 ;)) and had no idea about anything. When I gave a short explanation, she asked if I worked for the FDA :lol: since I had all this “insider” information....um, NOOOOOO...it’s out there in the open for anyone, especially important for someone with gobs of money invested to pay attention to. Apparently, she’s bringing in CBD because that’s “hot”. LE SIGH

    Wow...you totally misunderstood my post. :(

    When I said I liked the garage sale idea...I didn't in any way mean or imply that you could/should gouge the people on the price of what you'd sell at a vaping garage sale. I never even mentioned pricing! I thought even having a sale would be beneficial to them...precisely because your sale might be the only place at that time, that they could even still get vaping gear. Whether you gave it away or charged $1-2 for it....

    I’m sorry, luv... I know you didn’t mean it that way. Im just cranky from cleaning out closets. Both me and my back hate ladders, but my opportunity to do it without “help” is when Himself is at the camp :rolleyes:. I apologize for you feeling like I snapped at you

    You people are enablers. :D I just bought a Solo at the great price with free shipping from the link that @rosesense posted. I got the red/blue because it looks more pink/purple than red/blue in the photos. I don't know if I will love it but the price is right and it will be great with my rainbow RTAs.

    PS - I HATED the original Zeus but I really like the Zeus X. Once I figured out the wicking, the flavor is excellent!
