Yes it is. When you mentioned it, I knew I wanted one. I’ll give it a week or so but may grab another one.
OMG! We’re are too much alike - I ordered the dusty blue one last week. Should be getting it soon.

I don’t know if you’ve tried their RBAs but the reload s RTA and the S pro rda are phenomenal. Even the regular S rda is great. The reload Essential rda didn’t float my boat as much as I had hoped for. Maybe I should give it another try. I have the Essential X as well but I can’t remember how it vaped. I need to give that one another try otherwise I’ll be selling them.

The quality of their products is amazing for overseas stuff. Nothing cheap about them. Including the price lol! Actually the price of the Essential Tube mod is a steal at $50 especially considering the advanced chip that has 3 power levels.

I’m not exactly how that works in a semi regulated mod. All the other ones I’ve used just had the one output level. What battery are you using? I’m using the molicell 18650 ….. I forget which one and I’m too lazy to go look lol! Oh it’s the p48a . it supposedly has 35 Amps and 2800 mAhs.

I finally assembled the mod from reload. Ignore the lack of matching. I just grabbed a tank off another mod to test it.

I emailed customer service at reload to see if they have sleeves for the 18650 battery size like they have for the 18350 but I haven’t heard back from them yet.

    I got the dusty blue but couldn’t really tell in my picture. I haven’t tried any of their rdas. I really don’t consistently use rdas every day. I feel like you do that $50 is a steal for this mod. Has a really nice feeling of quality. As far as the three levels go, it can’t be that hard. The Xros 4 I have has three output levels and it’s a pod. Probably just some sort of voltage regulator in that chip. Did you get a spare switch with yours like I did?

    I maybe ordered the same color as yours then. I’ll have to check. And I did get a spare switch which is really great to have. Their reload s RTAs are really really good. I don’t use RTAs often but I’ve got two in my rotation now!

    Good morning shinies,
    I do the accounts for the farm, bought a lot in August and it works best to get receipts into the folder that goes to the accountant.

    I haven't bought any vape gear lately, but I do have some plans though.

    Today's workout:

    I'm trying to be patient, but my element vape order has been in limbo for 16 days. ugh
    Yeah, Element is usually very fast at processing orders... They ought to be, they tack on enough extra charges to kill a person... 16 days is WAY TOO long..... Yep, shinyitis and patience do not go hand in hand. I hate waiting for Vape mail even when it's shipped quickly.

    Yes, direct from them. I did get on it right away since my credit card company texted me that someone was trying to buy 2300 worth of stuff at a truck shop. It’s just a pain since I have my bills auto paid to the credit card then pay it off each month. Now I have to get online and change several payment methods.
    That really sux Brother! :(

    That reminded me (again) ... RIP FT. Seeing 3F and others continue,makes one wonder if they folded for reasons other than those stated . Whatever the reason, they're sorely missed.

    Especially since FT sold a lot of other stuff than vape gear. If it was just related to vaping regulations, then logically they would have just dropped the vape gear. Something else was going on.

    16 days is far too long for a delivery from Element. I've never had an order take that long. I'd contact them.
    Yeah, most orders from there are processed in just a day or two..... Something is definitely wrong with that order.... It wasn't mentioned as to if it is Element causing it or the mail system... As impatient as I am, I would have been on someone's case a long time ago.

    I definitely miss FT. And so does my drip tip collection.

    Most probably they had too little capital behind them to be able to continue, unlike the other two.
    FT had a much wider selection for us shinies than the other two, atty displays, drip tips, etc, FT was like the king.

    I'm a bit heavily invested in tractor electronics at the moment, looking forward to getting the action done so I can have a couple of months worth of vape gear.
    Vape gear plan is:
    DotAIO v2 Black, Sturdy One Royal Purple and Java Brown.
    Dano Box Micro 21700 Light Green
    Dani Box Micro 18500 Purple
    SteamPipe's Cocoon RDTA SS
    Kayfun X Mini SS

    I got a form letter type reply basically saying wait a while longer. What gets me is, you can order something to vape weed, no problem, regular mail and no signature. Throw a vape mod in there, and all the sudden you are punching babies.
