There is very little that irks me more than having a product show as being fulfilled for 4 days and yet the USPS either hasn't received it or I guess hasn't scanned it. Printing out a pre-shipment slip or notifying the United States Postal Service that you have the intention of shipping something is not a fulfilled order. Especially when there's been two business days. I don't mind an awaiting fulfillment notice but I hate when it says fulfilled but the USPS has no clue about it and it's been more than 24 hours for it to update. It's a loose end and it just drives me crazy. It's not that it's taking too long it's just that it cannot be fulfilled if the company selling it is still in possession of the item that is a improper terminology LOL

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.
Then you and I will stay in good company with each other because I’m not going to take them out of their boxes unless it’s for parts or I become very bold and desperate in the vapeocalypse.

I fully support your logic and sanity :)

oh I love the look of this one!! I wish I liked to squonk because those are such good looking mods!!!
Thank you! Literally the inspiration for buying it was perusing your stabwood thread and I went to the UK site...money began to quiver in my pocketbook before I decided against a purchase, for now. Of course my rationalizing a reason TO purchase was the FOMO (fear of missing out) in regard to PMTA...what if I don’t buy one now, and regret it later. See? I’m beginning to do it now.

It boils down to this, for now, and forgive any mistakes in my nomenclature, but I’m not really in love with the boxy Asmodus mods, and I don’t want to buy a Pumper because I do not want to deal with stocking up bottles for that device...I have three Lunas already, none that I have used (stashed away); a few I did like show out of stock, and your Gaia, which is just gorgeous, is definitely in top contention, but I’m not 100% ready to pull the trigger. I did like some of the Vicious Ant mods, but those prices are just a little too rich for my blood, unless someone could walk me through why they are worth the price outside of being a piece of art (which, if that is the reason, it is an acceptable reason).

So that is basically the entire conversation I had with myself last night. Lol :)

Late night window shopping at the U.K. Stabwood store isn’t a good idea.:rolleyes:

It’s already been shipped! :banana:They paid 1/2 the shipping because I’m probably the reason they exist lol!!!
I wanted to rate this "winner," "funny," "agree," and "love" but, absent that option, settled for the last.

What did you get?

I suppose the cost of the VAs is the superior quality of the mod and that people will pay that amount lol!

I loved the luxotic bf mod once. It's what got me into squonking. After the leaking problems, I look at them more as future project boxes now.

    Afternoon shinies ;)

    Ange, they're telling me in 3-4 weeks. I have done 3 days of chemo (this is the 4th) out of 6. On the 7th day I have a break then on the 8th I am re-injected with my stem cells. Then I have a pause for 5 more days and they they start a course of Zardio injections which stimulate the bone marrow to produce what they should.

    The rest of the stay depends on how quickly my body gets back to an even footing and has the required amounts of my white, red blood cells and also my platelets. The last bit will be a bit like dealing with anemia, with blood transfusion etc.

    Hope that wasn't too long an answer but it's kind of complicated. I must say the side effects from the chemo have been very mild so far and fingers crossed it will continue like that...I normally get knocked for 6. Ah, well that's the difference between a specialist cancer hospital and a general one :wub:

    It sounds like they are looking after you. And I'm hoping the chemo side effects stay very very very mild :wub:

    I'm like that with custards, just don't get on with them. Same with some of the popular vanillas.

    For me it is bakeries. Which I don't understand at all. I love FW cookies & cream, can handle 0.5% cap sugar cookie - but anything else just tastes dry and yuck. My taste buds are princesses :facepalm:

    Love them. Compact little un regulated squonkers with safety features and battery level indicator. Lots of info about the leaking issues/fix in Stocking thread.

    Now I want one too :facepalm:

    The only thing that concerns me with MOSFET squonk mods is how it hits. Does it hit like a Luna? or a smelly fish? ;)

    Yeah, it's the rest of me that's weird and zany ;)

    Mum & I made it to Greymouth. Thanks to back pain/arthritis I'm a crappy traveler - but we made it without me killing any people :D

    Let the beauty distract you from the pain. Might just be a brief respite but a respite none the less.

    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.
    Well, that is awesome! I am thrilled you might be getting a set. Fingers crossed for you!

    All the talk about the Supreme V2 has got my attention now. While FT has the 15% off i'm tempted to get one. Question is, how good is it on single coil, as that's how I would prefer it?
    Anybody knows how it compares to say the Juggerknot mini...?
    Personally, I would invest in the single coil deck for that. You'll be much happier. Should run you about $10 at Steam Crave.
