View attachment 769429 View attachment 769431 My not so shiny purchased today... I was asked to go wade through pig manure water with a friend in a week or two...

Happy to see any shinny but those boots don't look water proof.

Well it appears mojo is the place that got the first shipment of topsides in and available.

If anyone is looking.

Doing well. Lot's going on for most of the summer so I had to step back from things online for a bit.
You?

Good morning shiners! Another rain soaked day here so time for some rebuilding just because.

My innokin Kroma / EQ win is finally tracking for delivery of Friday. Have to figure out what to do with them. Waiting on the tracking number for the DR rta which I'm looking to actually use.

Just because I was gone for a bit doesn't mean I've been cured of my Shinyitis. These were my favorite types of vape mail, FREE.

What vendor? The one I saw was not on sale.

I’d like to know as well. I looked at a couple sites, and the other colors are $139, but the stabs are all more... $165-$175. Lowest I found was at 8vape, $159. And when I put it in my cart, a banner popped up that said $15 off if you spend $100, but I can’t seem to find a code for it. If I do, I’ll pop on that for $144.

Nice! I’m a big fan of both brands, interested to hear what you think of those. Are the geeks mesh coils?

@Skunk!
Thank you very much for your suggestions, will look into each and make a call

 

[lupinehorror]

afternoon all.
tac 21 has shipped glad it's away before the week of holiday over east.
could really do with a holiday. crazy busy at work.
not much new apart from various things fermenting around the place (on purpose i hasten to add). there will be 1/2 a kilo of bird's eye chilis getting rehydrated and made into a mash. rock n roll. etc.

yes. Geekvape calls them their "Meshmellow Coils" and so far I'm impressed. The X1 coil is a single mesh core that's .20 and the X2 is dual mesh .4 The X1 coil is on par with the Freemax Pro triple IMO

Yeah, I finally figured it out. LOL Just put it in the cart. The $15 off should show up when you click go to checkout. If not, either wait or email and ask. I am debating one. Stalemate right now...lol

Seems it's been awhile since you treated yourself, go for it.

Good morning everyone

You better pull the trigger soon, because I just did, and you’ll be bummed when I post pictures of it if you don’t have one! Lol

Pretty good. Thanks. Have a lot going on myself. Good to see you back.

Man I hate UPS.

Not only is the route convoluted, but for the Americans here spectating from home, here are the fees we are to pay:

Shipping
Brokerage fee (should this not be included in shipping?)
Duty (this is normal & fine, I get it)
2.7% fee on what you pay on duty (why am I paying a company's pseudo-tax on top of a tax??!)
COD fee

You can save on the brokerage fee by advising them you're clearing it yourself, asking for paper work, going to a customs office and showing the paper work and getting it stamped, going to a UPS warehouse and showing you have the stamp. With USPS they just hand it off to Canada Post and Canada Post collects the duty.

For fun, on their website, it says you can save on brokerage and COD by prepaying your duty fees. After calling UPS 3 times and getting wrong information, I conclude that you cannot prepay duty before it goes through customs clearing so you automatically have to pay the brokerage fee. The only thing you can save is the $4.25 brokerage fee. Unless you have a business account.

The saga continues...
