Just noticed your in Laconia. Been through there many times on the way to Weirs.

Been in New England (MA 61-05 NH since) since I was 7. I came here to Gilmanton to care for my mother who had to have live in help or go to a home. I figured she raised me for 20 years now it's my turn. I love the lakes region, just not living in a 7 floor unofficial assisted living center not so much.

Morning shinies

 

[DeloresRose]

I’m looking into selling but not finding anything to buy that suits me. I want one story and a basement- for times like now, tornado warning, hiding in the basement with my dogs.

Not sure if I even want to stay in this area. I have family here, but too many memories. Hard to start over.

 

[Letitia]

I'm no where near most of you guys levels of knowledge but I do know what works for me at least. My problem is now I have a bit of spare money and my regular suppliers have gone out of business (my local B&M) or can't/won't restock the stuff I wanted (MyFreedomSmokes).

Just paid my bills, was surfing trying to find my mods and coils, and ran across these two places: Vapor Authority and lightFIRE(KangerWholesaleUSA). Anuone have experience with them or have suggestions to get a KBox 200 mod or a Wismec Reuleaux RX300 Tc box mod,
and possibly Kanger Clapton coils?

Vapor Authority is pretty good, haven’t used the Kanger site in years but had no problems back then.

Hello shinies! Hope everyone is having a great day! Nothing super fun to report, just atomizer storage containers and some Penguin “tanks” delivered today. No more nic purchases for me now that we’re in 90 degree weather. My eight vape purchase didn’t scratch my shiny itch so I’ll be doing some shopping today [emoji23]

Can't say as I blame you.

Lightfire/kanger is fine. I order coils for the stash from them every month.

The apartment itself is really nice, but OMG the neighbors howl at the moon. I was supposed to get one in their Northfield units that are out in the country, but someone screwed with my file and claims I called in only wanting this place, when the last thing I told them was here was the last place in the universe I wanted to be. I was told in Oct 2013 I would be in Northfield by end of Jan 2014. Next thing I knew I was in the office here being told I could either take what I was being offered or go be homeless and off all their lists permanently!

Lots of fond memories of Lake Winnisquam. My Aunt and Grandfather owned the entire east shoreline and a couple dozen cottages there. They invited us up from MA every summer for free in one of them. I'd be waterlogged by summers end but would've stayed through the winter lol.

And my mother grew up there (and in Haverhill)! She has many, many happy memories of the Weirs--and is currently watching NOS4A2 for the Haverhill connection.

I had the same back and forth performance yesterday. My Spica Pro order was apparently on the plane, then it was off the plane. Then it was due for return so I thought they had probably smashed the glass tank or something. Today that has vanished and it's now allegedly on the plane again. Some strange shenanigans go on in China don't they Charlie?

Lol...I think that it's security related and at any stage you can get put back as a security risk. After the customs have opened it and then declared it safe you're back on....look carefully for signs of opening when you finally get it...that's what i'm going to do.

Its funny though because all this year my FT orders have been around 8 days...now all of a sudden I have delays on 2 out of three.

Hope you get your soon

 

[charlie1465]

Jim_87 and Charlie, I'm in the same boat and not alone, it is sloooooow. I ordered something direct from Aspire on May 20 and it is still in "processing" over there. I don't get it lol.

Meanwhile my Creek came from Greece and it got here in 3 days. Regular shipping, I won't pay for expedited shipping for anything. Go figure!?!?

Well I think that sometimes it is just the shear number of packages coming out of china at any one time. For me normally it's 8 -10 days but lately 2 of my 3 have had weird delays. It'll come in the end...i'm a patient guy

Haha, yes the last time my O-rings and Philips screws were a security risk and then disappeared forever in outer Mongolia. But yes I think there is some bizarre goings on in the Chinese customs office, officials to be distracted or palms to be greased. At one time I heard they were always investigating to see if FT were trying to sneak batteries on to the plane, not sure how much truth there was in that.

All my FT orders have been the same as yours, typically 5-8 days. But two orders of the last four have been a mess. Hope you get your stuff soon too.

 

[Opinionated]

Well I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a new Innokin Gala pod that VaporDNA now has in stock and for sale...

I got free shipping on it too so Woot! Woot!.. haha

I love those Z-Plex3d coils and this Gala takes the same coils, so I figure a little pocket friendly pod for on the go might be a nice edition..

So. One pod on the way..

 

[TrollDragon]

No vapemail today, but I did pick up a Nintendo Switch.

And...

Zelda Breath of the Wild
Dark Souls Remastered
Screen Protector
Naugahyde Zelda Case
12 month Online Subscription...

That kicked a big hole in the budget.

Something to keep busy with during slow times at the shop.

I'm sorry you got treated so badly. That really sucks

 

[440BB]

I thought I'd recovered from my shiny streak but couldn't resist a few Wotofo Flow tanks on a blowout sale.

The worst of it is that I made a spreadsheet this year and actually know what I've spent. I might have to thin the ProVari herd a bit to justify it...eventually.

.... happens, I'm over it. I just snuggle with my buddy and pretend it's raccoons howling and not the neighbors lol. I haven't been in any condition with all the leg problems to take any woodland walks anyway. Now I got to build my strength back up to do that I'm ready for the challenge now.

 

[Bruce C]

OMG Thanks for the happy distraction of conversating lol. I just realized I missed one bill to pay and almost spent the money I'd need for it. It's just a little one but I don't want the credit hit. Thankfully I'll still have plenty for my gear. Any other thoughts on Vapor Authority or any place else I should look at before I buy?

I have never used Vapor Authority but I use Vaporrange and vapordna (both have good clearance items). Usually have discount codes as well. I didn't find any codes for Vapor Authority.

Yes it sincerely is. I found I was a slave to a house that was just too much for me anymore. Too big, too much land and that pool. It was liberating to finally let it all go. I also do not know for sure where I want to be and that is the beauty in it all. A home is stability but can also be an anchor. I have been happier the last 2-3 wandering around then I would have been doing MORE upkeep.
