The tanks are polycarbonate but I'm working on getting glass tanks for them.If the glass tanks do work for these the price will go up some as the glass is expensive but will leave the poly as an option as well.

Yeah I am hoping at some point I will be able to get a glass one for the slim shot. Just wish the mail man would hurry lol

That sounds amazing! Can't wait to get my hands on one and do a review of my own. Any chance you could take a picture of the Atom and the Atom Bomb next to each other? Would LOVE a comparison shot.

I'm trying but it says file to large, I will reduce it and have it up in a little bit.

We just moved into a new house 3 weeks ago, and so far I have 1 200' roll of Kanthal completely gone. Says it was delivered 3 days ago, qand last night a stranger knocks on my door and hands me a vapemail package from a week ago. He says I live at the same # house 4 streets over, do you have my power bill? So I called the PO this morning and asked why the mail is at a diff time every day and its always a diff carrier. I was told we live on an auxillary route, so whoever finishes first or who ever is free that day delivers our route. I do a lot of classy buying and selling and from now on I am going to have to pay for signature delivery so I dont lose something expensive.
I asked about having my mail held and I pick it up every day and he said they are a small PO so I would have to have it forwarded to the other side of the city, then I could pay them $30 per month and at that point I can drive over there and get it daily.
So stalking the mailcarrier just went to a whole new level. Rant over...NancyR, I bet your glad you mentioned that;)

Actually I am also on an auxillary route, and the only walk route our post office has, so I get that. Thankfully tho I haven't had a problem with mail to the wrong house since I lived with my grandmother, who's address was 1301 1st Ave, and about 2 miles from us was 1301 1st Street lol

If there is a UPS store in your area they have PO boxes that have a street address on them so you can receive packages(even when they say no PO boxes). In my area it's around $60/6 months. They'll also sign for large packages and hold them, etc. Might be an option for you.


YOU ROCK! Thank you SO much!

NancyR got a bad Slim Shot as it won't fire and has a leak.I can understand the dead fire as its a grounding issue that I've been trying to fix.The leak I have no clue since its sealed completely.These are some of the reasons why I am making the AB as it has zero issues.Also my supply order just got here to start making the Atom Bombs ya!!!!!.I also got another shipment in and I'm very upset with them.They sent me the wrong damn bottles.They are suppose to be needle tip bottles and are not,plus the caps are white when I ordered orange caps.The drip tips are nice though,the skull ones really are crazy looking nice.

Thats a great idea... The question is, will that jive with being verified thru PP, because my Bank acct will be a diff address?

kwalka, i have both addresses verified through pp - po box and physical address

if you get into town on a daily basis i'd go with a po box at the po - cheaper than ups ........

nowadays i really do prefer using my po box.

The only issues I have with doing the PO Box is some of the areas I lived in they didn't have any open best they could do is put you on a waiting list, and some places won't send to a PO Box, where the mailbox places will give you an actual street address, and they accept from more than just the post office, don't matter if it is UPS, FedEx, ect.

A LOT of places won't ship to PO Boxes so this is by far the best solution around that problem. I know people who have gotten these boxes in posh areas so they can seem more well off for their business cards, business address, etc. Think living in the ghetto and getting a Street Address box in Beverly Hills.

As already stated, you can verify multiple addresses with PP so you should be all right. Most places let you ship to a different address than your billing also so it should be an issue that doesn't come up often (unless you're dealing with NewEgg or a few different vendors, they drive me crazy with that).

3 weeks ago when we moved I called Newegg and flipped on them and cancelled the order, for that reason.
