I have a glowing CS experience to report. The recent Unicorn Vapes and AR discussion here got me thinking about those all matte black rings for the Vert, so I sent them a DM about it. He replied right away and we had a little chat about it. He's going to send me a set. How cool is that?

Also, apparently the reason for the pin change in the Vert switch was because members of his team were having issues with the pin backing out a bit if not tightened down properly after disassembly for cleaning or adjustment. That was causing auto-firing in some cases. Not a good situation at all.

So, turns out they changed the design to prevent users who were potentially not as experienced as some from creating a dangerous situation by not checking the switch to make sure everything was properly tightened down. I'd hate to think that a design change to promote better safety would diminish the functionality of the device in the same step. Hopefully our fellow shiny's experience with the switch not firing is an isolated incident.
Well I would love to get a set of the older rings and I truly am not happy that the switch was changed as I wanted to be able to adjust the throw. Well, I am not about to do a charge back as it is not worth the frustration. What I did do is remove the 4 little "clutch " pieces entirely. The button is now much easier to push and I will be fine with it. It's a stunning setup. Here it is with the silver rings

Can I ask who exactly and how you contacted them. I sent emails but no reply. I would love to buy the older rings and switch if they have any laying about. TIA

I am completely clueless as to what is happening on this thread. I will say, Caucasian or not, I would definitely be on one of the cattle cars. Mentally defective. Also, the husband asked me if I was "going out to hit on some guys at Walmart." I stared him down and said, "Let me tell you the last interaction I had with a guy at Walmart. Some old guy, not fat but in a scooter, smiled at me. I decided to remove my stone face and smile back.." He said, sort of under his breath, "What a beautiful OUTFIT. Not even ME. I could put together some CLOTHES is what he was saying."

LOL I asked the husband if he had any response to that, he said "Nope. Not really."

So yeah, I can't get a REAL complement from a dying guy in a scooter!!!!!

I will say, I'm not really that much of a WW2 person although I did (seriously) have a lot of dreams about being in the French resistance as a teen, so IDK. Yeah, cattle car.

My precio came. So did my B12 patch. The placebo is not strong with this one, I'm just kind of waiting to see if the adhesive gives me hives or not. I should just really ask my new PCP for the shot. He says "Sure" a lot.

I Do Not Understand my Walmart .Sometimes, it is the BEST. Sometimes, it SUCKS. Like, I Get Being in My Way it happens. But I mean cluelessly PARKING your cart like SIDEWAYS across the aisle? Who DOES that? People did it a lot today, I am telling you.

I got my revenge. They have those self checkouts now. Normally I am like a pro at it. But the husband wanted some weird items and that threw me off. Then, I used his suggestion of blocking people's nearness (I don't like people all up in my grill, like, EVER, but really, NEVER when I am shopping. Only, I did not know what to do with my gigantic purse. I did not want it swiped. I had a very hard time with the bags that are normally easy.

It might pay to be like that because no one was like "I am getting anywhere NEAR that chick" because I would not have, either. It sucked. Right now, I sit,.

LOL, cattle car fodder.

I messaged them on Instagram. He said he didn't have any spares but he did have a few Verts coming back as returns. He was going to pull some rings off of one of those for me. It's not an actual sale item, so I got the impression that it's more of a favor to send them out.

Hello everybody,

Been on the stabwood thread - that’s a dangerous thread! Lol! Can’t bring myself to plunk down 400 clams for the mod on the UK site that catches my eye, so I settled for a Carbon Topside Dual in Mosaic. Lol. :)

I had the dubious pleasure of being transported in a cattle car in the mid 90's. Not in the French resistance, in the U.S. Army, during basic training. It was fun, but I was young. It sounds like the guy that complimented your outfit was admiring your sense of style and taste, something that doesn't fade with time like physical beauty does.

Wow, I take a long nap and fell close to 100 posts behind. Ever wonder if this 80,000 post thread growing by leaps and bounds every hour might be what’s stressing the server out and throwing those errors? Never happened before us shiny people came along.

That’s gorgeous. I’d be tempted to buy one of the newer ones if it was guaranteed not to have the issues discussed. I was actually this.close to buying a new honeycomb Luxotic but I was (kindly and with good intentions) advised that the cheap ones from vapenw were basically the same. So I bought two, only to discover the auto firing issue. I don’t even count those two in my stockpile as inventory. I may even take them out of the stock box because I can’t trust myself to be able to fix them.
Oh my if mine Auto fired I would probably have pitched it I would never trust it. The thought of an auto firing mod even with a safety regulation terrifies me. It terrifies me way more than logic should allow it to.
