    Somewhere between here and there
    I want to buy another tank, not coils. I want another tank just like the one that came on the Gen 2000 mod as a kit
    The last Gen 200 I got came with the original iTank. I think they come with the itank 2 now. The Gen 200 has been out for a long time and depending on when you bought it then it could have different tanks with it.

    Are those stress fractures in the insulator?

    I have 2 Xetas. When I got them people were talking about problems with the posts. Like the bottom part of the clamp would break if you were too heavy handed tightening them up. I was always super careful with that and haven't had any problems so far.

    I've been thinking about BB's lately. I love them and always have one going. I have 2 SXK BB's and 2 Xeta's. Be a shame to mess up the Xeta's and be left with 2 BB paperweights. I do have a Vapesnail as well. It still works but I broke off part of the insulator with a bit of clumsy plier work. Should probably get some more Xeta's. Are they still available? I noticed there's a KFL insert out now. Are you familiar with that one? I like KFL tanks. I definitely should have more than 2 inserts.

    When I first got them, before I figured out how to run the Xeta I flooded them regularly. Juice pouring out the bottom of the chip compartment. Luckily I got the 60W version with the coated chip so they survived.
    It's the clamps on mine that have broken in the past, and the clamps have stress fractures on my last Xeta.
    No, you can't find them easily anymore but there are plenty of alternative rbas for your BBs.

    I noticed there's a KFL insert out now. Are you familiar with that one

    Yes I have one and really like it.

    This is where I bought mine

    It's the SXK clone and it is excellent quality.

    If you want something with more airflow options maybe you could look at an Aspire Qbix or an SXK ESG Synet (clone).

    This one

    Good morning shinies,
    I follow packages, one from the UK, one from Germany.

    Atmizoo has 30% off for those who are members of their Facebook group.
    I'm a bit on and off about whether I want a DotShell in the Orange colour, well, I like the colour, more considering whether I should spend more money this year. I think it would fit nicely in my white Dotaio v1

    Cool, thanks. I ordered an SXK KFL clone from 3F. Bit of a scary transaction. I never used 3F before. My first attempt to pay went bad, got a message saying "suspect of cheating". Followed by a warning message from my card bank. I was trying to check out as a guest. Then I created an account and tried again. Got an email with a temp confirmation code and the payment went through. Then another email from the bank asking me to confirm that the payment was legit. The payment recipient wasn't 3F, it was luggageandbagfor.

    At the price they were asking I would have got two of them but the site only allowed me to order one. The product page said something about hurry, last products available or something like that.

    I'll be keeping a sharp eye on my card account for a while. Maybe order some more when the first one arrives.

    How long do deliveries from 3F take?

    3f have had plenty of problems with their credit card channels in the past but I don't believe they rip off customers. They mention in their checkout blurb that the transaction will be from a different business name - to do with the word vape/ most countries' war on vaping. I order from them more than any other Chinese retailer and haven't been stung.
    Shipping time varies but for me here in Sydney it usually takes a few weeks. @AngeNZ gets hers pretty fast.

    It is my understanding that those who want to be in the industry remove vape in payment information and shipping.

    Most of the shops I buy from operate with different info on payment and shipping, as the madness has taken off on this globe, 50% would stop in the customs system if shipping contained vape in the description.

    I've had no issue from their channel C payments and yes they have a funny nonvape name! Anywhere from 10 days to 3 weeks shipping time. Since yours was limited in stock my guess is it was in the 24hr warehouse, so it should get dispatched faster.

    I've been ordering from them since they first opened and only a problem once. IIRC Gladys was her name. For me quicker shipping than FT, worse CS than FT, much smaller inventory than FT.

    Yeah - there was a flag on the product screen saying 24 Hour. Sounds like that was good news.

    Good morning shiny people. I got some new flavors from nomnomz and a long fill called fried custard. I tried a couple other long fills from them and liked them. As far as hardware goes, I got shipping notice on the Odin mini’s yesterday.

    (The thing on the side of the guitar is called a NeckUp and I use it instead of a guitar strap when playing sitting down.)

    I think I might need to get another carbon fiber guitar. Just to better understand the material and the current market, mind you. Purely a research endeavor. For the Greater Good. Definitely not because I have a case of the shinies or because of Black Friday sales. Definitely not...

    Very nice! I don’t really know anything about carbon fiber guitars. I was looking at the Fender BF sale yesterday but nothing really caught my eye. I already have enough that I don’t play. I kinda lost interest for a while but have been thinking about starting to practice again. I never got very good.

    Vapemail! It's perfect and much smaller than I expected.

    Somewhere I have an original luxe pm40 that Vaporesso sent as a gift when I was reviewing for them. They had hittman printed on it.

    I went into it blind. This was the first CF guitar I've played. I like the tone very much for what I'll be using the guitar for. And I never have to worry about temperature or humidity again.

    In case you're curious, the guitar is a Rainsong OM. Rainsong is the OG CF brand. They're having a going-out-of-business sale. The other two biggest names in carbon fiber are Emerald and McPherson.

    I hear you on the practicing. This is my third time on a practice regimen. This time, I gave myself 2 decades to "get good" with no pressure, lol. A little practice here, a little there. I got this one to be my primary "right next to me in my home office at all times" guitars for that reason. Of course, the definition of "good" varies greatly. Best is to have fun along the way so you keep going :)
