There's an unexpected twist to my ongoing UPS story - and here is another rant. I need to rant somewhere, sorry!

UPS did release my unknown contents & unknown sender vape device sample from the Agent that many use after my phone call, the staffer I spoke to was very helpful... it was then released for delivery.

Some hours ago I received an email from UPS with a bill for a UK customs fee of £5.88 ( Ok I surrender). THEN on the next line a UPS Brokerage fee of £34.50.

A total of £40.38. Likely more than whatever it is is worth! ( It will be one of of 3 recent new releases)

The twist is ...If I refuse the parcel I will still be liable for the Brokerage fee. I checked, I phoned UPS several times ( the old trick of trying again with someone new) That's it.

If it's not resolved, that's the end of all that for me. I've been trying to contact the suspected manufacturers ... as THEY did not label the parcel correctly hence it came to Customs attention. No replies over 2 days.

Thanks for listening folks.

I've been thinking about giving MTL another whirl. I'd like to pick up a new MTL rda to fiddle with but I'm kind of at a loss on which to buy. Anyone have any suggestions? Doesn't have to be fancy.

I can offer this sheepdoggo in trade for MTL RDA advice.

LOL if my husband "passed on" well, I would have no clue where ANYTHING was including the password to turn on his computer. He finally granted me access to his phone when I showed him I would able to identify NO one on our home phone except his step sister and his mother. I asked him if he wanted to do that to me, and it took him a while, and he was like, "No."

Just as well, because if he hadn't the great poisoining he speaks of might've happened.

The plumbers are still here they weathered a great thunderstorm and went back to work. I think it's the dog doing it, she has SUPREME mean face worse than Kim Kardashian and while she is a very pretty dog I am fairly certain her bark is BAD but not worse than her bite. I think they want out of here as much as I WANT them gone.

And a Shiny Morning to All the Shiny's
All this Luna talking is tempting me to go Shopping

 

[stols001]

Order them a couple of these shirts, atleast you can have a chuckle while supervising.

I think there may be an anatomical limit on breast size and/or implant size for one of the guys. He is wider than he is tall. By a FAIR amount. I'm kind of impressed he can do that kind of work, not that there is that much "work" happening. LOL.

So glad to have luncheon over. Gosh I hope the husband gets back here for at least a couple days. Etc.

Take a look at the Parvum or Hussar v1 RDA's. I have them and they serve up awesome flavor.
And in the "more" options department... same with the Venna, Flave and one I am really lovin' the Apex. All are clones and totally rock for MTL and flavor. If you desire something from another showroom then take a look at the Creek. You can keep sheepdoggo, I wouldn't want to take him away from home.
One more, I don't have but will, is the Convergent. It's deck is very similar to the Parvum and Salix and it is MTL. Hope that helps.

I love it when I stumble into a whole new world of gear for a hobby I'm into. I'm not familiar with most of those. The research is half the fun, too

My daily is still the Ctulhu 1928 after a good 6 months daily use. Lovely thing, comes with goodies (velvet baggy, weird and somehow functional drip tips) and cheap to boot. Does have a little juice / condensation run off, but a once a day wipe down keeps my mod high and dry (can get away with two days).

Something I have been using for two months or so is the Vapefly Holic. Triple adjustable airflow makes for lots of tinkering. The chamber is a bit large and the cap sticks but it gives a great cool MTL vape. Wonderful finishing.

Also love my Etna, but for lack of juice capacity that one should be squonk exclusive. I don't squonk. It sits on a shelf. If you're in Europe I'll send it on over because it is in a sense a great little thingy and someone should enjoy it.

Lemme see lemme see

My TIT Nipple clone is also performing beyond expectations and I just got that for the name.

Speaking about oldies goldies, the nectar nano gives an amazing vape in a chamber size where you're like "that's going to burn my lips" and then it doesn't. Not easy on the eyes though, but certainly on the wallet out in Chinese clone world.

Final honourable mention for the Speed revolution. Speak of an effective design. Dirt cheap to make, non-adjustable but tons of fun and flavour in a size that will make you need reading glasses to rewick. Love fitting mini ID coils in there and seeing the little bugger go.

Because if he threw it away he would most certainly need it the next day. Us guys always prepare for what we don't need.

Oh he saved everything. He pulled nails out of boards and hammered the straight. And not only did he have 30 years of stuff just in case he might need it, he hit every old man auction and bought the hardware from at least ten other old guys’ stash.
How much do cigar boxes go for?
And what’s with you people and baby food jars?

I should have a tag sale. It’s someone else’s turn to guard the flame, and if I got a buck for every jar of what nots I bet I could buy at least one VA Spade, possibly 3. Plus I could park in there.

 

[Tralfaz]

I'm thinking maybe a Cthulu 1928 might be a good starting point. Not sure about that "ear canal probe" drip tip though. I was also thinking about the Berserker but every time I see one, I hear Olaf from Clerks in my head.

Well you are in luck the v2 is coming out.

My father did the baby food jars. He had trillions washers, screws, nails, etc. , and he could always find that one nut and bolt you needed. However, if you needed two or three of the same size you were out of luck.

Hiya. I'm still vaping but I've been inoculated against shinyitis.

This starts in 5 minutes. Matt's Monday evening shows are worth watching.

 

[Zazie]

I have built the Kraken (getting six wraps to glow evenly was a labor, I must say) and placed it on the brass Rosefinch. It looks pretty snazzy.

 

[Zazie]

Oh, I got some vape mail today, too. Struggling to remember what. Um, let's see. Oh yeah: a Gate RTA and a spare tank for it, a copper Ragnarok mech, and some Exocell 18350s for the Ultroner Mini Stick.

 

[Zazie]

Looking for Rosefinch videos, I learned that it's a competition mech. Wow. I feel so advanced now.

So the Chinese food didn't poison you, I guess.

I like the 1928 RDA quite a bit (and, as mentioned, it has a generous well for dripping), as well as the original 18mm Berserker RDA. While I like the Holic, I prefer their earlier Galaxies RDA. The 18mm Etna also ranks right up there.

 

[stols001]

Trafalz, if you want to try a provari 2.5 (with an extension cap even) I will be happy to send one your way. I will also include some genuine AW batteries I have that have sat for a while. I even have a zombie (I think) but it has a regular beauty ring (silver.) I can make no promises, guarantees or anything other than I have about 6 I got in a lot that I thought I would ebay up, but I didn't. I find the 2.5s to delicate and dainty for my taste, and I will keep a couple but honestly, I can make no promises. PM me if you want one, and I will find one in working condition. To the best of my ability. I like to do a provari good deed every now and then, and frankly I have 8 Eleaf Invokes that I mostly prefer to the 2.5s. I have three procyons and I LOVE them, when it comes to tube mods I am like HEAVY and indestructible.

PM me if you want one. They will need a through cleaning and I will not be doing that but I'm sure you'd have fun. LOL.

I just... I'm never going to use them. Yours for the cost of asking. for it, seriously.

Anna
