I can't speak for other communities, but here in Kitchener we have a special scene.

The average consumer, based on what i've seen and from the B&M staff i've talked to, are middle aged people looking to get off smokes. The only thing that sells well are pod mods, and smok stuff for the younger crowd. By and large people here are vaping for harm reduction and smoking cessation.

The people who own B&Ms and staff the better ones are hobbyists like us. They're into high end and even encourage me to order online from other retailers and not do business with them.

So for things like Chinese mass produced hobbyist stuff, like chinese mass produced squonkers or squonking RSAs, they only carry the bare minimum if anything at all. There's isn't a market, here at least, for the 'budget' hobbyist. It's a weird niche.

Onto another topic though... sitting here bored tonight. Baby doll is texting her mom while they try to figure out how they get her to fly in from the Yukon to spend Christmas with us.

While that was going on I rebuilt my B2K. @VapourFlavour take note.

This is -pulsing- at 3.2V, and they say high mass coils have long ramp up.

The Pulse 80 was a very popular squonker and I know for fact that many who carried the mod also carried the spare bottles. The Pulse 80 is ending its retail life and the new Pulse X has taken it place – it also uses the same bottle. Stores are stocking up on the Pulse X and its accessories (refill bottle, coloured panels), so why not also stock the squonk bottle. I have whiteness Ace replenish their stock at least twice but never jumped on the opportunity to buy simply because it’s a royal PIA to drive up there and that they had nothing else I was interested in that would make up for their min free shipping. Not paying $5 to ship a $4 bottle! Stock is selling so this tells me there is a demand for the product. I spoke to Ace personally today via email – they are no longer carrying the Pulse bottle but yet they just introduced the Pulse X into their retail lineup.

I understand pods and Smok sell, therefore stock them. But out of 15 stores that are within a stones throw of me, 12 of them sold the Pulse 80 – and I know from shopping for myself they had trouble keeping them in stock. Kitchener is not that far from Toronto, trends will not be much different. And we can see this throughout the country.

Yet we're the communists losing our entire salary to taxes.

I know right? Don't misunderstand me though, I do not quite cheer on socialism or "for the greater good". I do think though America could handle the issue of health care a lot better. I can see your point too in cutting the fat. There's much in our world no matter the country where if money is involved corruption follows not far behind and someone can always find a way to be a well fed leech.

My political notions are simple, I am peaceful anarchist and like voluntarism, the only ism I can accept. Nobody needs to be master or slave. Live and let live is a straight forward line of thinking. Let people follow common law.

1. Don't injure or kill anyone.
2. Don't break any contracts you engage in and do not engage in fraud or trickery for gain.
3. Respect property other people use and do not take it from them nor damage it.

In short as Bill & Ted said, "Be excellent to each other." Let village elders council on how to punish breakers of these simple laws, thirteen of them, judge & jury. Know that might seem far too simple. Folks can dream, myself included.

Excuse me, need to fetch some water to drink. It'll help was away this yammering stuff here too. My apologies, got to vape on. By the by, "oh look, Ozzy!" *wanders along*

ePacket is the default shipping method there and if you buy 4 or more bottles you don't have to pay the $2 for ePacket...

To borrow Steve Austin, "hell yeah." Hopefully we can keep six casks of rum and a slew of scotch on hand there too. *chuckles* Not saying I'd go be a drunk but when I'd want a drink it'd be nice to have a drink. Any cheap rum 80 proof or better, fifteen year old single malt scotch.

No worries there. Can guarantee that there will be margaritas too.

The Pulse 80 is ending its retail life and the new Pulse X has taken it place

Ergo then might be worth the $60 or so bucks for a Pulse X regulated squonkl?

Been looking at the Squeeze 2. Only con iI see to the Pulse X is a front squonk hole, imagine if I wanted I'd get over myself and use it anyway. Hm, might need to look at SlowTech & see if there's more affordable pricing to sweeten it up for me. *goes to look*

Bummers, no cheaper on SlowTech. Welp, guess it'll be the squeeze 2 once I get that darn delayed stipend. Also need more wire and need to go do ... eh, hm. *realizes he's typing out loud to self again, takes it inside, nods*

Quick question here, does anyone know where a desperate man can get his hands on a Therion bf dna75c? This mod is driving me crazy! I'm starting to think I'd have a better chance of finding a unicorn in a snowstorm. Are they simply no longer available? I don't have classified access yet, any in there?

Yes, unfortunately every site says that.

An early good morning shiners! Not sleeping all that great with this cold. I haven't had a real knock you down sort of cold in a long time. I forgot how much they sucked. Good thing my low nic high VG juices don't have much of a throat hit or I'd be in real trouble.

You’ll have more luck finding a unicorn.

Good morning Shiny's. Lap full of fur babies and damn it's cold this morning. RDAs should be here by Saturday, Juggerknot mini is coming from Canada and will get here eventually. The coils I traded for are on the way as well.

 

[Leo Bak]

I need help! I just bought a second spare Pico 21700!



Now my question is, any nice new MTL/ Restricted DL singlecoil tanks, up to 25mm, that would pair nicely?

 

[Eskie]

RTA or factory coils?

Do you have one you like yet?

Not sure if it's resticked but Zues might be one.

I hope you feel better Eskie!

Thanks! It's only a freaking cold. I just hate being sick. But after 60 years, I sorta have finally figured out that resting and giving your body a break is better than pushing through it to do all your stuff only to end up way sicker.
