    I agree. It is a good deal. It be more of a good deal if I was grabbing several, but with taxes and shipping it will be 40 bucks for the mod. I think I will hold off for now.

    Everzon is a little cheaper. About 35 shipped.

    I finally tried my Vaporesso Revenger X kit. Love the mod! The tank (with installed coil) is full blown DL (I'm more of a restricted DL guy) but I enjoyed it at 60 watts. Had to mix some 3 mg juice for it... still got a bit of a nic buzz but not too much. Eventually, going to try an i-Joy RBA that fits that tank.

    I appreciate that but I will not be purchasing any more mods from overseas. I'm just going to wait a bit for some possible Labor Day or clearance sales. If nothing comes up, I know I can always get it for around 35 or 40 bucks.

    Yep. It came out to roughly 41 bucks with the shipping and the couple dollar taxes. Like I said, if I was buying multiples like you were, it would be a better deal.
    There was this odd shipping route charge eightvape kept putting in the cart that I had to delete. I added 3 solos and shipping never went away. I remember now that eightvape always charges shipping.

    My husband donates plasma regularly at work (he’s O neg). This last cycle, they called to remind him it was time. I guess fewer people are doing it because of the pandemic? He only gets a free tshirt, but it seems like more people would be doing it now if you can get paid for it.
    Plasma, unlike blood can be given weekly. Those white cells or plateletts are used for blood clotting, burn victims, the immune compromised (think bubble boys), sometimes with cancer victims, even in some fertility treatments. For at least the last 10 years some companies in the U.S have paid for it. Oddly none of the major pharma companies are American
    Not only was I helping people, but I sat there for about an hour watching movies, I got snacks, and I got paid for it! I gave twice a week
    Did you ever meet a recipient? My wife toured a donation site in Raleigh NC once and said it was very emotional. Her IVIG (intravenious immunoglobulin) monthly infusion takes 4 hours. It really is a life saver, and there's a worldwide shortage. Whole blood reaching its shelf life is also fractionated (white cells spun out) ;)

    My family thanks you for this :thumbs: Even with this pandemic, convalescent plasma is used for treatments.

    And it's a very effective treatment. My daughter just donated plasma--she had Covid and is now recovered.

    I never met a recipient. There is a new place not far from where I work that I’ve been thinking about going to donate again.

    I probably have and don’t realize it. Himself donates at the hospital where he works. We attend plenty fundraisers and events for the pediatric patients, so chances are I have met recipients. We have both regularly donated blood, but they asked him to switch to plasma. I have an oddity in mine that makes it more useful whole for a specific type of patient. Fortunately, I have a very common blood type.

    Has anyone ventured out beyond cereal 27 and found another really versatile cereal? I wish for a granola kind of vibe that doesn’t taste raisiny. I definitely get a rummy raisin from FLV granola. I want a crunchy, bakery taste.

    I'm going to pick a few up at central vapes. The solo appears to not be a clone and I can pick it up for 30 bucks or so. They have free shipping after 50 bucks spent. After ordering check your order on their site. They suck on giving out emails for shipping. They have a ongoing code vapor25 for 25% off. Just sharing.

    P.S. I bought one months ago from central vape and I love the solo.

    Have you tried the TFA crunchy or Crunchy Berry?

    Thanks for the information. I'm curious why you said it "appears not to be a clone". Is this a site that tends to sell knock off versions of mods?
    Don’t know about the mods but I’ve heard bad stories about the coils

    All I know is they sell clones of tanks. The aspire nautilus tanks work for me. They are clones though (tanks).
