I realized I haven't done a update on my freemax maxis Max no I'm sure nobody cares It makes me feel better. I still haven't got it. The post office says that freemax asked for it to be returned to the sender. Free Max says they did no such thing. Post office has just sent it back to California for the second time. All of this because the labels were near one another for the sender and recipient. And then I guess free max got a hold of their shipper who gave the helpful advice that the product wasn't in China.. which you know none of us thought it was just that it was going to be sent there according to the USPS.

I don't know why it bothers me so much when I win a contest and I don't ever get my prize but it does. This happened with vaporesso as well but to vaporesso's credit they did try to send me another one. And also to their credit the product just went missing in the USPS's hands like it just disappeared.

Anyhow maybe if it actually manages to make its way back to China they'll send me another one. But I doubt it's going to make its way back to China either because the machines cannot read the barcodes correctly. So it's basically just going to bounce around the United States from now until someone finally steals it or loses it

Keep hope alive!! Well at least till tracking tells you "This package does not exist".

I don’t think flavored juice actually qualifies as shiny vape mail because it is a disposable item like coils etc

However, considering the state where I live it’s exciting vape mail!

And once again, I wasn’t required to sign for the package. Looks like my mailman did it for me. I don’t think I’ve ever had to sign for any delivery even though I get charged for it but no biggie! It works for me.

I’ve been adding commercial juice to my short term stash and for when I’m not feeling up to mixing anything. Although I did mix up a couple of very simple oldies but goodies fruit flavors this week. View attachment 969858

I have gotten SO lazy about making juice. But for a while there I was making more than I could use, just playing tiles with flavors.
What I’ve been doing the last year or so is making (4) 240ml bottles of base every 4 months. I mix for SIL, so 2 bottles for her, 2 for me. And I freeze it. When she’s low she texts me and I just add flavor. Hers is easy, one flavor, hazelnut. Most of mine are only 2-3.

After spending a few days at home and really trying to put the VWM dope through the paces I can say it’s an excellent boro Rba. The largest airflow pin is 3mm. I wish it was a 3.5 which is what I’m used to. It’s a little restricted but not so much I can’t use it and I’m actually starting to enjoy it. Probably the easiest to build and wick I own. Very simple and well thought out. Gives excellent flavor, I can actually taste notes with it that are absent on my other bridges. All in all very excellent rba and one that will be staying with me in rotation. So glad I hit on the last drop as it was announced that Costas’s cancer has returned and all things from VWM are on hold until he finishes chemo. Can’t speak for the SXK but if it’s anything like other sxk attys I’d grab one just remember 3mm airflow max.
Oh yeah I ran one build Mtl with it and that’s realistically what it’s designed for. 2 thumbs up in Mtl but I vape 90% Rdl and it’s too good to dedicate it to Mtl for me.

Just ordered an SXK Dope from FT after reading this. Been holding off. Thanks for the review @Truckin Vaper

I might try that. I have the 13 feets of cotton but feel like I waste a lot even with splitting the strand in half.

It works best for 3-3.5mm coils. I can split it right down the middle. A bit fussy for smaller coils though - and I’m not good at guessing for those smaller coils, which doesn’t help at all.
I found a 4 pack of it a year ago, and I was down to about a quarter of a bag, so I bought it. I’m still finishing off that quarter bag

 

[hittman]

can u imagine? My god to i think about all the money I’ve spent on @GEEKVAPE items in the past 4 years. I have more GeekVape attys than any other companies. Their one of my most favorite go to RBAs.

I really like the original Zeus single coil rta and have a dozen or so of those with a mix of some other ones. I never really took to the mesh one.

 

[hittman]

I can’t remember if ANY of the YouTube reviewers had a bf pin either. To the best of my recollection none did and all questioned it hoping that when the retail version came out that it would be included.

If I remember correctly, Mike Vapes didn’t get a pin. Not sure about others. Maybe they did start packaging them but had already sent a bunch out without them and that’s the stock that’s selling. Who knows. I’ll try sending a message to my geekvape rep but haven’t heard from her in months.

Hey folks,need some advice about sub--ohm tanks.

Loved the Freemax but can't get those coils in Spain and it's way to expensive to order them from abroad.
The Geekvape Z sub ohm tank i like but quality control on those coils is really bad,only ones that are ok and i mean just ok are the 0.2 ohms and still it's just meh.

Any other sub ohm tanks you guys can recommend for RTL/DL?
Gotta be well known so there is a higher chance for me to get coils from vape shops in Spain,also would prefer a wide selection of coils so i can which suits me the best.

Top airlflow is also preferred,been looking around in Spanish websites but only seen a few that looked interesting.
Lots of different drop in coil tanks from Uwell so getting coils for those would be easy,also looked at the iTank 2ml by Vaporesso which does look interesting.

Anyway any advice would be appreciated

About to place an order for some e-liquid and aromas,tough to click on ''buy'' because it's aromas/liquids i haven't tried before...when i throw caution to the wind i almost always end up vaping stuff i don't like so I'm just hovering with my mouse and not clicking on buy at the moment lol

Agreed! The original Zeus is one of my most favorite RTAs as well. I think I must have 5 or 6 of them. I have the dual and a couple of the Xs but I rarely use either because the single coil Zeus has much better flavor imo.

And I’m purposely not trying any mesh tanks. That’s just one more rabbit hole for me to jump in. I love the flavor I’m getting with rayon with either ss316l or NI80. I’m relatively new to the NI80 but so far I’m really happy with the wire/coils from Wire Optim (Lightening Vapes) and Wotofo. Nice clean flavor and long lasting.

Thanks! I’m just shocked and disappointed at the poor customer service over an .89 cent part!

And you’re correct Mikes didn’t include a bf pin and several other of the well known reviewers didn’t either. And all of them questioned why it wasn’t included.

Hi, Shinies, just checking in and hoping everyone is well. You can see my story in the mixing thread. I am living one step at a time and cherishing each moment with my best friend of 51 years. Hope you are ALL well. @charlie1465 , a special hello and hope you are taking care of yourself.

 

[Fidola13]

Good morning Shinys! Getting ready for another 8 to 12 inches of snow! But I wouldn’t live anywhere else but New England!

Have a great one!

I found that the best way as well when I was mixing a lot of flavors for my then roommate and myself.

I like this idea. Does your base contain nic?

I have the full size iTank that came with the Target 200 and really like it. I have been using the same coil since I got it and really need to order a pack or two but so far it seems like i'm getting really long life from the .4 coil.

 

[Truckin Vaper]

Thanks for that. I just ordered the Dope..and the Bridg'd. All I can afford is SXK...so it'll have to do

I’ve used some of the SXK bridges myself especially when I first started using boro’s. My very first " and I still have it BB is Sxk”. The authentic stuff was just so hard for me to get. They all performed great and not really any issues with any. I buy the authentic stuff now only because of resale value. The stuff is so limited that lots of time you can use and enjoy it for awhile and get back more than you paid for it.

order two,maybe WWW lll on the horizon.do you have your contacts?

Contacts eh? Wouldn't you like to know.

Jokes aside I'm feeling very sad and worried for those poor Ukranians. Looks like they're on their own. That baztard Putin's gonna get away with this and he always knew he would.

Thanks for the feedback buddy.
Yeah i wanted to try out that tank but Sourcemore sent me the wrong Vaporesso Target 80 for review purposes so i was stuck with the pod like version.
Will wait for my next wish list and put the Vaporesso Target 100/200 in my list and hopefully i will get it.

I tried using the smallest jpeg setting but they still wouldn’t upload.

ECF had a problem with uploading images for part of yesterday and the night before. Some people were not able to upload images while others were.

The problem was resolved yesterday afternoon during ECF's outage.

FWIW the maximum file size you can upload on ECF is 5.2MB. I did some testing in The Sandbox a few weeks back which confirmed that size.

Here: Testing ECF Image Size Limitation

I’ve been watching the news all morning and according to reports the Ukrainians are putting up a hell of a fight
