Good morning shiny folks STOP with the pics. LOL I am kidding. Going home tonight seems better than freaking, Thanksgiving day traffic.

I think it will be today have another annoying medical issue to address, tried to go to the one urgent care over lunch where I am now but there was no PARKING even. In a bit gonna try to make an appointment with a doc "my share my office doc" told me to see. She was super sweet and mommy like, she was all concerned.

MY mommy was in the ER when I called to whine to get checked for a pulmonary embolism, so it was like ARGH.

Worst case, I will go to an urgent care in Tucson tonight but OH so annoying this is, it's the kind of thing you get ordered expensive medical tests for. Glad I did NOT buy or find a Miniken Raw, now actually. LOL.

My mommy is fine but has been ignoring heart palpitations for WEEKS. She's an idiot. To be fair, I too am an idiot but like, I am constrained by all my docs being in Tucson and not having any PTO for 90 days. I am TRYING to get to a doc at least...

Good morning shiners! I saw the 25% off started at vapordna. I expect other goodies will be popping up, but I do like them as a vendor.
They are fantastic. They’ve always accepted returns for defective products. Even cosmetic ones, when I ordered the Asmodus Lustro & it had a small scratch on the screen they exchanged it for another for free with no issues.

CPC:
While there will be delays across the country, Canada Post expects the worst delays for mail and parcels will be for items that originate or are destined for southern and southwestern Ontario.

Ok pulled the trigger on a profile and a 22mm cap at dna.
They have 25% off right now with BLACK25.

Very nice. Like to hear your thoughts. Did you pick up a box of nexMESH strips? If you intend to use it as a dripper, it comes with the squonk pin preinstalled. The pin is a 2 piece adjustable design that is also threaded on top for the spring plate to attach to. My squonk pin was threaded in pretty tight – I had to take the RDA apart to remove and change to the regular 510 pin.

Morning Shiners. Was wondering why the cat let me sleep in this morn. Woke up to the Toronto Toilet Paper Massacre. Brand new roll shredded from the bathroom to the living room and into the kitchen with Zelda sitting proudly among the remains. I can only laugh.

@dom qp – thanks for the info. As we head into the holiday season I suspect things will get worse before it gets better. CP is holding the cards and will use the Christmas season as leverage.
Canada Post is a joke. I have 6 outstanding packages, all vape stuff, four of those packages are in Mississauga (45 mins away) and I don't think I'll see then for at least another week. From now on when presented with a UPS or other courier option I'll be going with that.

I'd warn you to be careful with UPS.

Firstly, there's no "i'm going to mark this package as $20 in electronic components". They will declare the full value and incur duty if applicable.

Secondly they charge you a bond fee for carrying the package across the border. Last UPS item I had was a graphics card which cost $29 in fees (109 USD value):

The government will collect GST/HST/VAT, and UPS for whatever reason adds another 2.7% to that for their own pockets. And then there's a $4.25 COD fee.

You can save the $4.25 if you prepay. You can save the bond by doing a lot of ground work. You have to go to UPS and get the shipment info, go to border services and get a stamp, back to UPS to show them the stamp, arrange pick up at a UPS warehouse. Often they're in the middle of no where and can have weird hours.

Usually on UPS shipping i've seen the shipping cost 29-35 USD which is 38-47 CAD. You tack on the UPS mafia protection money + duty and you're easily looking at having paid 60-80 CAD to get a mod delivered. I haven't ordered smaller packages through UPS, but I assume it would still be at least 15 USD just for the shipping.

Looks like I wont be able to place anymore online orders.
Every place I used to order from have figured out its illegal to ship to utah. Stupid government.
I'm sure you can find someone out of state to help for shipping costs.

That's good info! I was more referring to Canadian orders though. I ordered juice from Warpedvape this morning and wasn't offered any other shipping options other than Canada Post which was disappointing since I'm getting low on juice and can't expect this shipment for a couple of weeks at minimum and will have to go to a B&M now to stock up.

Yes, with international packages I'll wait with snail mail, especially after reading your post. Thanks
 
Good morning Shiny's.
Got the Juggerknot mini built. Installed a k/ni80 Fralien 2.5mm .31 resistance. So far I'm impressed. Still trying to find the best dt for it.

That's great! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it so far. I see you switched out the drip tip for a taller one, I did the same thing originally, now I'm back to the signature tip.

Last order I put through them I got in less than 24 hours. I have no idea how they did it, but it shipped out of their Ottawa facility, showed no tracking, then was all of a sudden at my door.

I placed the order on the 8th around 6PM. I'm hoping you get the same luck. this was only 2 weeks ago, still in the middle of the delays and strikes.

I hate shorty tips, so won't be going back. This 510 wide bore is okay but not just right. Have a new flute style coming in that may fit the bill or my go to nip tip should work well. AF is looser than I was expecting but I like it.

Online retailers may not be prepared virtually for the strike – meaning not having an alternative courier option when placing an order. This costs money to set up. But that does not mean they cannot use FedEx or Purolator – doesn’t hurt to call and inquire.

Today's Vapemail:thumbs:

Some Roly Poly premixed and 100ml aroma in 500ml bottle
1L of VG
TPD boosters, since my order of 1L 100mg nic is not in yet
And a new tank: the 31mm Glaz RTA by Steam Crave.

The Glaz RTA is going on my Mach On3 sqounker.
Though the Mach On3 is a great mod, don't buy it!!
The proprietary bottles break pretty quick, even while not pressing them too hard.:nah::-x
Broke 4 of them in 3 months, so now I will just use the mod with an RTA on it.

One of the best things they have done is switched to 2 day FedEx for free!!
