My daughter is a vet tech. They do them at a very low cost for foster groups. You could check with your regular vet and see if they’d cut you a deal since you took in the mama and are “trying” to rehome the babies
Small town vets usually will occasionally give a small discount but it's not like in the cities down here. Most are like me, get them fixed and more often than not that will be their only trip to the vet barring illness. I used to trap a couple strays a year for spay/neuter until the cost literally doubled. The no kill shelters are drowning and the animal control places send almost all of the most desirables to the cities by train. My Em would have been on the train within 24h if I hadn't come in looking for a dog a hour after she was dropped off.

She’s way out in the country. Small town, mostly farms and chem/petro plants. I guess they make enough on farm animals to cover the pets costs. I’m in a suburb of nola, but the spca here will fix them for free if you tell them you’re leaving them feral (yes, they know it’s stretching the truth). Road trip?

@NolaMel I have 3 Dreamer stacks. They are great mechs and I really like them. The copper is the best performer out of all per Mooch.
I looked at bits of all four videos... It looks like copper has the least drop, followed by aluminum and brass tied at a marginal difference, trailed by stainless at about 5w difference?
Is the difference worth $20 (less for aluminum)

Does or has anyone ordered from urvapin.com? U.S site? There's something I want at a good price, but I'm unfamiliar with them. Any shared info would be appreciated :)
I placed a couple orders with them about a year ago and had no problem. Shipping time was pretty much the same time frame as fasttech. Don't remember if it was free.

I have to admit, though, I'm a little down on the whole Chinese experience right now. My first few orders from fasttech went off without a hitch, but my last two have been horrible. You just never know.

Still, I had no problem with Urvapin. As far as I know, they don't have a U.S. site.

I cannot speak of buying anything from them, but they are (or were) a registered supplier on this website, and I have won gear from them in a contest before..

Shipping time was normal for China, about the same or a little better as ordering from fasttech if I remember correctly.. and they did real good with everything connected to the contest.

Nothing bad to say about my experience, but I wasn't a customer either perse.

    Good morning and Happy Sunday shiners. My new shiny Innokin Proton kit from a contest win arrived yesterday.

    Also a new picture of our kitten that was found in the bushes. He's going to be huge.

    Good morning shiners! Happy Sunday. Rainy and gloomy here. Good day for rewicking and general mucking about.

    The no kill shelters are drowning and the animal control places send almost all of the most desirables to the cities by train. My Em would have been on the train within 24h if I hadn't come in looking for a dog a hour after she was dropped off.

    So they line up all the animals and hand out one way tickets? That's cold. Giving up all those pets smart enough to know how to hand over the ticket and remember to ask for a receipt.

    Saw this morning, Eightvape has the Elevate for $22.99 if anyone is looking for one. Also the Faris for $21.99.

    I hate paying shipping, but wanted a backup Elevate and Faris. They still had the Ammit RDA for $4.95. I have been wanting to order another pair of Ammits at that price, but couldn't justify shipping.

    Those are pretty decent prices on the Elevate and Faris if anyone has anything else they want to order from them. I went ahead and got all of the above to help offset the shipping cost. At least that's how I convinced myself. ;)

    To help with the shipping it's sometimes worth waiting to order between 3-6pm Est when they have their flash juice sales for $2.95. I've gotten a few decent juices from them that way. Granted it's hit or miss if it'll be one you want, but it's still worth checking out.

    It would be completely unnoticeable
