    The site of snow when it is 100+ degrees is incongruous. I'm beginning to think it'll never cool off again.

    We have been near 100 yesterday and today. I’m so sick of these 95-100 degree stretches.

    I'm really getting upset with sourcemore. I have yet another order that I believe they gave me the wrong tracking number for after the tracking on the website was already wrong. I ordered a Thelema dna 100C that was actually moving fairly well and was expecting it to arrive any time. However, I checked the tracking and it says it's out for delivery in Atlanta Georgia and I'm in Missouri. I hope it's just a matter of another wrong tracking number or I'm looking at another month or longer for them to reship it. I'm just about at my wits end with them.

    Sourcemore is why I went back to using FT or ordering directly from the brand company. I'm generally patient enough to wait for FT to get what I'm wanting in stock.

    A pre-snow Aspire Favostix.

    @Fredman1 - the flavour is just fantastic. I'm pretty sure the coil in these pods are the AF coils used in their newer pods, like the Flexus Q.

    Comparing the two: In the Favostix it's a sealed coil pod, whereas you can change coils in the Flexus. The Favostix has a screen, 1000mah battery and you can change the wattage in 1W increments. The Flexus Q has only a 700mah battery. And it reads the coil, then you can only change the wattage by switching to soft, med, hard.

    Airflow!! The Flexus q has a one-sided slider, and wide open wth a 0.6ohm coil, it's a tight RDL similar to the Sceptre. The Favostix has a teeny tiny pin ..... hole each side. With the 0.6ohm coil it's an extremely tight RDL - like Vaporesso's Luxe Q. Once I've taken enough pics of it, I'm attacking the pin holes and making them huge.

    That looks a lot like the Oxva Xlim V2 I reviewed a while back. It was also a great flavor producer for a pod. It has a screen and side slider like the one you have.

    Ah that's good to hear... who doesn't love a dose of good ol flavor...;)
    I always had a soft spot for Aspire...but i'm still trying to overcome the shock of my beloved Prime X suddenly dying on me. But as the saying goes...it happens.
    I like the Favostix...but I need to overcome the feeling of replacing a pod. I feels soooo amateurish...and I see myself as a professional vaper :D

    Vape Mail! Yippee!!!!!

    I wasn’t planning on buying the steam crave aromamizer supreme v3 since I had the original and V2. And the optional decks that were made for the v2 fit the v3. So I just got the basic version. This atty has some serious vape for serious vapers!

    I also grabbed another Wotofo Profile squonker in all black this time. It comes in all black or gunmetal with black.

    If you love squonking then grab one of these before they disappear! One site had it for half the price of when I bought the gunmetal color. I’ll see if I can find the link.

    That is a sexy looking beast.
    Of the clone mods I own, the Rave Mini is the best quality. Read somewhere they were re-badged authentics. Not sure of that's true but the build quality is very good. It was dirt cheap there for a while on ft (or was it 3f?)
    I spose there's not much market for 18350 mods. Anyway - good fun to break out now and then and the most ergonomic squonker I've tried.

    I got an email from SM overnight and it turns out that the second tracking number I was given for my Thelema DNA mod was also incorrect. I was given a third tracking number and it says it's supposed to be delivered today. That's the good news. The bad news is my other order for pods and coils is lost and they offered to reship it but the pods are not in stock so after a little over a month of waiting, my pods still will not be here for some time. I asked them to send me an XROS 2 kit to hold me over until they get the Xros pods I ordered in to ship. I'm curious to hear what their answer is.

    SM seems to be hit or miss. I ordered from them a year or so OK and I think it took over 12 weeks to get to me. I went back to FT. I just ordered something from them again a few weeks ago and it got here in less than 2 weeks.

    Maybe I'm imagining things but it seems like the more you spend the more likely it is to arrive in a decent amount of time from SM. My Dna mod was on pre order for a while but as soon as it shipped then it moved pretty quickly. Would have been a better experience if they hadn't given me two incorrect tracking numbers. I know it's the shipping company and not Sourcemore but it's their responsibility to make sure the orders get delivered. For as much as they charge for shipping, I would think they could get a decent shipping company.
