    Morning shinies ;)

    Has anybody else found that using Paypal at FT is still inconsistent?

    A few days ago I ordered the SXK version of the VWM Dope rba and paid with CC because there was no Paypal option.
    Then this morning (after reading reviews about how good the quality is) I ordered the 5Avape clone of the Dope. Was able to use Paypal.

    So two basically identical items, both just over 20 dollars. One allows PP, the other doesn't.

    To test it again, I just went to the checkout stage with another SXK clone and got this message:

    Note: the PayPal payment option is not available because of e-cigarette and laser products.
    Please pay directly with a credit card.


    I've only been able to use CC there for my last 3 orders. Maybe someone there forgot to push the Paypal Not Allowed! button for the 5avape version.

    going back some serious time here
    Looking for something in my own stash to help a smoker quit cigs and Juul
    I have both the OG Lost Vape Orion (with Lanyard) and 5 boxes of pods, 2 in each box.
    and the OG Artery Pal is still new in box. I cannot for the life of me remember which coils it takes.
    she is currently using a Juul. I gave her one Uwell Calibern Pod and some of my juice and she wants to get off Juul and smokes
    Does anybody have any input on any of the above?

    I guess my question would be: will it be enough? It obviously was not for me since these both hit the "no thanks" box of mine

    Does your friend have a preference on size of the device and mtl or dtl? I have a couple of Orion Q and an Orion dna in my stash I haven’t used in ages. I’m working on a review for the new Orion mini. It’s a simpler Orion with two coil options and no different power levels.

    Morning Ange. Just checked again and the 5Avape clone can still be bought with PP.
    Anomaly I guess especially when there's even the word vape in the product name.

    The OG Artery PAL uses Aspire BVC non-Nautilus coils, if that helps.

    I don't have the devices. But you're giving her decent options to try and one of them may tick the boxes for her.

    that does help and jogs my memory as yo why I bought it. I have a boatload of those coils in .7 and wanted to find something that used them

    I ordered myself another OXVA 40watt Pod system and ordered one for her too. Then last night as I was falling asleep I realized, it has a battery in it and she does not have a battery charger.
    How bad is it really to charge through the USB port thingy on the front?
    I cannot believe I am asking that as I have always told others not to do it

    A lot of people say not to do it but I do sometimes at work since I don’t have a charger there.

    I had voiced concern about doing it in another thread with a dna mod and Mike said that the dna boards have better charging circuits than most chargers. However I’m sure that’s not the case with less expensive stuff.

    Yeah I don't particularly trust just any device. Then again, you would think the 'trusted' brands that been around for a while has put some R&D into their chips. The most important I think is the cut off volts on the chip.
    Safest way, when in doubt is to not charge the battery completely full. Keep an eye on it and charge often....:cry:
