    Hey I was doing some online window shopping and saw I device I had never heard of before today. Has anyone used or heard anything about the vaporesso GTX One mod? Authentic Vaporesso GTX One Mod 2000mAh

    I was thinking it might be nice for taking with me when out and about.

    I'm sure @hittman might have 1 (or 7).

    I'm thinking about it, but I'm a bit gun shy with USPS right now. The last couple things I ordered, one from Michigan (Amazon) and one from California (Roadside Vapes) have taken at least two weeks to get to me with long lapses in tracking updates. The mod from California still hasn't gotten here but did finally update tonight for the first time in eight days. Weirdness.

    That seems weird that Amazon would take that long. Even if not using Prime Shipping, it normally gets sent out pretty quick. I don't know anything about Roadside Vapes shipping times generally, although I did just purchase something from them for the first time today.

    I don't think it's Amazon or Roadside. They both apparently got it out the door pretty fast, but it bogged down after that. The one from Roadside left Santa Clarita, Ca. on February 23 with expected delivery on the 26th. Then, on the 27th, tracking changed to "running late but still on its way." Finally updated tonight (8 days later), and it's a couple days away from me.

    The one from Amazon got so late that it reached a date where they were going to offer a refund, then they asked that I wait a couple more days, and, sure enough, it popped up. It seems from time to time USPS is struggling along with some other carriers. My Freedom Smokes has a banner up warning that some shippers are severely backed up and some will no longer guarantee delivery dates.

    Hmm. Maybe USPS is backed up a bit from the winter storms. Only real thing I can think of.

    I luv my Coilmaster tool. The mere thought of going back to using a drill bit or screwdriver makes me cringe.

    When I first used mine the wraps overlapped. I was pushing too hard on whichever thingamabob (2.5mm, 3mm or whatever) I was using with it. Once I backed the thingy off it made puuurfect coils.

    :)

    ETA: You apply light pressure with the thingamabob and it just works.
    Yeah, I know I'm not using a light enough touch. It's a problem I have: I always screw lids too tightly, for example, and get crippling writer's cramp because of how firmly I grip pencils/pens. It's the practice of a lifetime and very hard to change.

    Thanks @Zazie ! Had never heard of them. Great stuff- back when you could get ...... and smoke on TV
    They were a recurring bit on SCTV, one of my all-time favorite shows, especially the earlier episodes (before Rick Moranis joined the cast, as a matter of fact).
