So I didn't want to pay 5.74 shipping for a 5.97 order of 3 ijoy rbas, my solution was to add a db3 inferno for 40.00 in the cart.

All you actually need is ceramic tweezers, decent scissors, and a decent wire snip. FT has all for good prices. Would advise getting the coil master brand of the ceramic tweezers, worth the couple extra bucks.

i really like the wotofo wire cutters. the coil master ceramic tweezers are all i use. normally the elbow versions.

I ordered a pair of scissors for trimming wicks. I have a really old pair of these but they were well used before I got them and they have dings on the blades. Perfect for the job, but sometimes a ding would catch the rayon and pull big chunks out of the wick. Managed to find them on Amazon. Out for delivery today.

I like the straight ceramic tweezers for coils and pointy metal curved for wick. My first pair of snips are still working great and the newer ones are already dull and relegated to the car emergency kit. Unfortunately don't remember the brand of the good pair. I'll pickup a couple pair of the wotofo for backups.

It is cute, a little structured for my taste. I am lusting over the newest Stella M chain bag and it is reversible.

Had the previous one, preloved of course. Clinky, clingy, not for me... I'd rather have canvas...

textbook!

It was my only option, the X was a ridiculous price.

 

[Susaz]

why would you recommend something unreliable to a beginner when theyre less likely to manage it

It's simple. It's cheap. It's disposable.

 

[Pigs]

would a kit like the Vandy vape Tool Kit Pro or the COil Master mini DIY kit be needless then? or low on the quality of the items i need? they're more reasonably priced.
any recommended kits?

i've found a better colour somewhere else and waiting to see what wotofo says, if they can ship the US one or cancel.
Has anyone ordered from Eciggity to Europe?

I ordered from Eciggity to Australia and it was amazingly fast. Guessing Europe would be as easy or easier.

How many times have we all used this sentence to justify our spending?

thing is they say in the FAQ they only ship to a group of places including Auz. but in the checkout you can put in european places and it does the estimate fine (though really expensive compared to the chinese place that do charge for shipping like Cigabuy)

 

[Susaz]

I am the opposite. It is all about buying what I can pay for at the time. With everything. I did get an inheritance a few years ago that makes it easier but even before that it was my motto and it has worked for me. Never had a car payment and never will. Why give my money to someone else (interest) when I could be earning with it. Even if it meant I drove older cars for years (or bought last years iPhone) Good luck to you with your method.

I agree with you at that, but you don't live with high inflation. 25% rates liquifies payments specially if they're fixed. It's a state of mind. A long time ago buying a car cash was great because you got heavy discounts. But as cars rates go up every year, fixed rates will make the payments easier as time goes by. Depends on what you buy and how you buy it. And the country, of course.

@DeloresRose fair enough. still, if you're new and it don't work once you could drop the whole thing. don't mean should be expensive_ just nothing known to be finnicky just because it's popular and marketed all over the place. i mean, how on earth did those smok stuff spread all over the place?

@Opinionated thanks for picking up on that. looks great. but terribly expensive probably because of the reader_ i know one never knows, but i don't see myself twisting my own; unless you're saying precoiled stuff are really unreliable and not that inexpensive as i've been led to believe.. other options?

you guys think it's alright if i settle for the available blue to put on SS uwell and black vprsso gen? stupid american consumerism hogging everything_ all the gold colours are in your dumbass warehouse

If you’re new, you’re not likely to drop $50-100 on a kit to find out if you even want to vape. I was ready to spend $20-30 to see. Actually I was willing to spend up to as much as I’d spent on other cessation aids.

May not work for all, but the people I know started the same way.

I - and the others I helped - started with an Ego and disposable clearos. Half those clearos were DOA, but we had enough of them to get smoke free. Then we upgraded to slightly better gear.

It's more American desperation out of necessity. The hammer is falling there in a few short months so of course American vapers (with any sense) are buying up as much as they can while they still can.

indeed agreed. don't mean expensive... just not smok! i got off the 'logs on a minifit justfog_ i mean just not 'unreliable' but because it's well-known or popular... sorry

That toolkit is perfect. And don't worry about what colour Elevate you get - you can always buy a matchy matchy mod later on

 

[virm]

Oh so pretty!

the overall form is pretty, i grant you, but those letters are just weird and ugly
oh dear, this shopping thing is getting to me_ that or i need to eat more ruccola

I feel out of place, everyone with their custom vaping scissors lol.
I bought a full size pair of fiskars cloth scissors about 4 years ago from walmart. Well still great to this day.
I mean my thought process was cloth is made with cotton so...... and thats all ive ever used them for.

I like that i can cut a sheet of cotton in one snip and it will be straight.

Anyway
