Morning all. I'm sweating on the arrival of a Passage rda today - ordered on 26th Dec from the biggest local retailer (Vapoureyes) and only shipped a few days ago.
They used to always ship next day and from order to delivery was rarely more than 3 days but they've really dropped the ball in the last few months.
Anyway- hopefully I'll post a photo later.


Hi Pigs, you should have received an email from them, I did.
They have had a lot of trouble with order fulfilment due to safety concerns at their Dandenong warehouse.
Because of the fires, whilst not affected by the flames, the smoke has been a serious problem for the packing folk so this was temporarily suspended.

Seems to be ok now, hope your parcel arrived this arvo :)

A “blind buy,” but since Asmodus is getting a lot of love on this board, not bad for the $15 I paid for it after having redeemed my rewards.

This is a prelude to the bigger purchase I made from them today...

Morning all!
Rainy today. Supposed to have the running boards installed on my truck today, if they’re in, while they do the three month check up. I have a sock in progress to work on while I wait.

@charlie1465 I don’t think I could do 10k on a bike, stationary or otherwise. Last I rode, I was going 5 miles. And that’s been a few years.

@Astron I have a minikin boost. Nice mod. A bit big in the hand. It has a rubbery finish, very nice.

    I did get the email Boudica but I don't see that as the root cause. I've been buying (a lot) from this company for nearly 4 years now and the downward curve in their customer service has been noticeably happening since well before this summer. I said a few months in my post but it's really been since the changes to their structure in early 2019. It's a pity because they built their reputation on a wide range of devices and fast service.
    Now their service is slow and their range is small compared to their competition. I much prefer to support local business but I might cash out my rewards points and give them a miss for a while.

    Good morning shiners! Happy Friday! AVS is having a 30% off sale. Apparently their merchant account got screwed up as they suddenly asked for age verification on purchases of wire. They've had a backlog in processing orders, so they're doing the sale as a "sorry about that" thing. Maybe they should just change their name to Advanced Coil Supply.

    Send us a photo of your build with wicks Virm. I've never had dry hits with the S Elevate but I also haven't used braided coils - only different types of claptons and aliens. It's normally a rock solid atty

    Good morning virm. I have never had dry hit issues with my SE. I followed Matt from SMM build and wicking tutorial, and it comes out perfect. Here you go...



    Sorry @Pigs! Didn't see you already posted this.:blush:

    I've investigated it, I have 2 problems. 1 is I refuse to build any longer. Have a modest collection of RDAs just sitting because I'm too lazy to fuss with it.

    2. I am... Picky about dollars vs value. I bought the mod for $72. Won't spend on accessories that cost as much. I don't fault a soul who does, I just vowed to stop spending $100's on a mod that I'll move on from.

    The AIO lured me in because dotmod made my favorite mod to date, slid me the new firing mechanism before it was released and gave me free stuff. Who doesn't like free stuff? So I gave away most of my pods and picked this up.

    So far so good. Ina weird way it reminds me of the other dot.
    any place I can read more about this? I detest video's. thanks

    The Boost was my OG Asmodus in 2014 and a great device. I eventually fell in love with the MIniken but my Boost worked great for a long time.
