Yeah - that's what I'm unsure about. @Punk In Drublic uses this atty and might know more

We discussing the NRG with the cCell coil? One of the benefits of the GT cCell is the cotton wick is in contact with the ceramic heating element. The ceramic, being a solid, does not allow juice to flow through thus leak should it be left for prolonged periods of time.

Ok so I finally got to order the Serpent Elevate RTA from efun.top shipping from the USA. I chose the SS. Hopefully it will arrive quickly.
Guessing that the sale goes through China since pp is the only confirmation I've gotten so far. I get nervous when I don't get immediate confirmation from a site.

That’s what I got as well. I’m sure it’ll be fine, I’ve ordered from efun.top quite a lot never a problem, they always send out.
 
It's a requirement in the US for vendors to verify age for online sales. This can be done by third party companies or I'd it's a small vendor, themselves. Almost all require a partial SS number or photo of your photo ID like your drivers license to meet that requirement. If they are audited by the FDA and fail to have a record of verification they'll be in a world of hurt.

Some verification services can do it relying on things like your address alone if they find you. But if you've recently moved they may need the additional information. That is only going to get tighter with new FDA attempts to eliminate underage sales. If you order in the US and have it delivered within the US you can expect routine verification. I'd consider a vendor sketchy if they didn't have some method to verify age.

And good afternoon shiners! I slept in and got lazy today. Must be my ruminations on when the Drone will become available.
As stated before on the Drone thread, my Canadian retailer that I preordered from is expecting his shipment 15th-20th, so hopefully in 8 days, maybe a week and a half.

@Skunk! – I understand your SL Class stood up to the abuse from a skatepark. But can it pull off a Fontside Manual?

Morning shinies :)

@Opinionated - I'm in the same airflow/draw bracket. Got a vaporesso NRG se tank as part of a mod kit. The ceramic gt core ccell 0.5 ohm coil that comes with it is pretty good for flavour.

Not sure on its longevity yet tho ;)

Thank you for the heads up .. sounds good! :thumbs:

Can you leave it full for several days without use and it not get leaky? She only vapes once or twice a week.

Awesome job with the helpful question! Thanks for making life easier for me! :wub:

Interesting. I did not know that – but why would I being on this side of your border. Part of my profession involves vulnerability management which also includes cyber security (at an enterprise level). Identity theft is a huge concern which is usually performed through social engineering. If providing identification is a requirement, please be diligent and ensure you are on a secure connection. Thx for the post.

@Fiestylillady @Heartsdelight - my earlier post was made in sincerity and not to put a scare into you. As mentioned, I did not know this was a requirement. Just looking out for fellow shiners

No worries. It's the FDA that's turning the screws here. I expect US vendors shipping out of country don't worry about it. And yes, the security issue is significant. But them again, the USPS just got hit on their database of 500 million accounts that we all use to track our
packages with, if you have an account with them rather than just enter your cell number package by package for tracking, or I guess if you always just enter the tracking number. No idea how deep the data breach went beyond that. It's a scary time to do security these days. There are just so many ways in that can be compromised it's becoming harder and harder to remain ahead of the curve.

I saw 3Fvape has it up but no preorder yet for $130. I suppose that's one option when they open for pre-orders but they always ship well past US vendors do on availability.

Got back to nola to lots of vape mail.... most importantly, the pico squeeze 2 was here. Set it up with the ammit, purples match nicely :banana:. Not crazy about the fire button on the side, but when I’m not tired from driving, I may feel less cranky about it not being where I expect it to be. Also built the DRSQ with (new to me) fused clapton for a more dl squonk. Very nice at around 35.

Not trying to scare you, and despite the below story is fairly old, it does demonstrate how easy it is to social engineer into someone’s digital life with minimal information. Please be very careful and selective on what you provide as information on the internet. Outside my name, address and credit card, which I fully understand its policies in regards to online risks, I would never provide my SIN # or other identification such as my Drivers License.

I did my id with everything covered except my picture and address only. Maybe because of my age, they didn’t balk and require my birthday to be showing? I figured name and address are easy for anyone to google, the last four of my ssn isn’t. Am I incorrect?

    I understand why they may need to do verification but my social or ID equals you lost a sale, the end. They need to find other ways.

    Picture that RDA in every other color made. The rest I think is wire, nic etc, and the DRSQ (which isn’t right by me). Yes, the ultimate lazy... you only get a picture of what’s in my hand :lol:. (Purples match better irl)
    For $35, this was a deal. Came with the RDA and a battery ( I haven’t looked it up yet on Mooch). It’s a bit of a fingerprint magnet, and the up/down buttons take some specific pressure, but works fine

    I am not exactly sure how the verification works, will assume this is performed across a secure Intralink into the database that is used for verification. Intralinks are near impossible to compromise. But what could be easy to compromise is the website you are shopping on. A savvy thief could break into the website, redirect the link to the verification site and present you with something that looks like a legit forum for you to enter your information. And that information you give could be enough to start resetting your digital accounts.

    I will assume both Apple and Amazon have changed their policies, but the story that I linked above about some poor dudes digital life being completely destroyed was done so using a false credit card number that can be easily found with a google picture search. The hackers didn’t even have any personal information.

    Always ensure you have established a secure connection by the little padlock in your web browsers address bar. Take full advantage of 2nd level authentication for your online accounts, and turn activity notifications on. And it is a good idea to use multiple email addresses for your online accounts that are not linked together… meaning, one address is not used to verify a password reset to another. Have one account for your bank/credit cards, one for ordering pizza, one for online shopping (as an example). It’s a royal PIA but certainly easier to deal with than identity theft.

    Sorry....long post

    My boatload of juice showed up today.

    After considerable introspect and arduous soul searching, I've decided that it just doesn't get much better than this.

    Happy Friday, shinesters.

    Love the banana juice matchymatchy drip tip ;)
