[Daniel Forsyth]

I may be coming with Himself in May when he comes to UQ! If I find out I am, you’ll have to advise me of vape restrictions/options, and ideas for some stuff I can do by myself while he’s at work. Excited to think I may possibly finally going to make it to Australia

I'm Excited your coming for a visit
There's Shiny Aussie's all over the place here so wherever you are in Oz you'll be Very well looked after!!
I'll make sure of it

 

[muth]

Wait, is that the origen little you posted in the bf flavor banger thread? In the cart!

Edit: replied too soon, I see it's the boomstick reaper now.

Yeah, but if you have an Origin Little in your cart that's a good thing Still love that little rda.

Unfortunately, as a vaper... it’s Brisbane... You and @Possum64 may have to come rescue me lol. I’m looking forward to finally seeing Queensland. It looks lovely. Himself has been going to his office there for several years, and I’ve wanted to go with him. I don’t want to go zero nic, but I may have to for the trip. I can always dump the last in los angelos before the flight there. Doesn’t sound wise to come through customs with it!

What’s wrong with Me? I seriously need help/advice/suggestions.

I’m so bored with all the “new” regulated non squonk mods out there right now. I’m looking for something different but not ugly- talking to you Minikin v3.

single or dual 21700 preferably but very limited offers.

dual 18650s just all seem like copies of each other’s. Thank god for my stabwoods at least they look and vape beautiful but now I’ve got medical bills from my broken hip. So under $150ish.

I just got the Ephro Cold Steel 100 which I like (it’s heavy though) but I don’t feel any excitement about it like I use to. I like the dbl v3 but not the colors. Who was selling them so cheaply though?

Maybe after 2 years and close to 40 mods mostly regulated and non squonking it just takes more to wow me.

I don’t really need anything over 100 watts. I dl at around 35 watts unless I’m using a very low ohms coil which isn’t often. Normally vape at 0.4ish ohms. I normally vape at home so done need rugged. I really like form fitting not boxy mods. For some reason I’m just attracted to the Jac or Dicodes. That’s too complicated and too much money.

TC is great but lately not a deal breaker. Love my DNAs and Yihis but not a requirement. I’ve gotten great tc on other chips as well.

I scroll and scroll through web pages but nothing jumps at me.

What’s wrong with me? Am I sick? I love buying mods. I need help. I’m not trying to be funny. Please. I miss the stomach butterflies of getting a new mod I’m excited about.

please help with SOME HELPFUL suggestions that are close to how I vape.

I know I can count on the Shinys to treat this problem.

I hope everyone had a beautiful thanksgiving with family and friends. If you were alone I understand how you feel. I’ve spent decades alone at the holidays. It’s such an empty lonely feeling. If it wasn’t for my sister caring for me I would’ve been alone again. I’ve learned to plan distractions ahead of time to fill as much of the day as possible. And I’m very sorry but one thing I learned long ago the hard way NOT to have a pity party and feel sorry for myself. It just makes the day unbearable otherwise and what’s the point it doesn’t help. And reach out if you have friends or like me on social media. I have a great support group on Twitter. You’ll find you’re by far not the only one alone. Find someone to play Words With Friends or something. It helps and actually may end up being a decent day.

I’m also available to chat with in private conversations.

I'm with you, Fidola, on form factor and xx700 mods. Not enough to chose from. Not so much into dual xx700 cause that's a big handful and I don't need the power but the capacity would be insane. xx700 batts and mods were the last time I got excited about buying new mods but I'm still waiting to see more. Just not bothering with single or dual 18650 or 26650 anymore. No need when there's xx700. Unless you really want a small mod which i get.

Sometimes when I'm not feeling the thrill for mods or atties I start concentrating on DIY and making a recipe that blows me away. Haven't succeeded at that yet so at least I still have a goal I'm working on. We all get the doldrums. I'm glad you spoke out and expressed yourself. I'm available for PMs too. Don't hesitate to activate my alerts

I’m in the same spot.... just not seeing anything newer and worth buying. Sales look like unloading of old stock with a few goodies thrown in

Brisbane is Fantastic
Hopefully Possum is able to help someway if you can't bring nic through customs.
If not let me know and I'll jump on my bike and get treadling from Victoria
We'll work it out Mate

Thanks for cluing me in. I haven't even looked at my email alerts because of what you just said. I was talking to Shawn about this very topic and he's not buying anything right now because he's tired of "rehashed" gear. Lord knows he has a museum of vape gear!

 

[muth]

What was that mod Dom qp just got? That looked interesting @Fidola13

ETA: Found it. Does this float your boat?

Dovpo Topside Lite 90W Variant RDA Kit

Shawn needs more gear like I need to eat another piece of pie today lol. His collection is the stuff of dreams! Glad to know I’m not the only one who feels like the sales today aren’t really about us, but for cleaning up the stockrooms. I’m pretty well stocked, I think it’s left me a little pickier.

 

[Rob B.]

I hope ya'll had a grateful and thankful day! I like the Thanksgivings that it's just the 3 of us. Matthew is 17 next week, and I don't expect too many more. Hoping he goes to a local university though. I like spending time with my bud.

Ending a really nice day puffing my Profile Unity and jammin' to some lovely music. It's my only mesh rebuildable, and it tastes the bomb!

I hope you and your sister had a wonderful Thanksgiving too!

Nothing is wrong with you. I know the feeling... like you, @NolaMel and @muth there's just not much out there flippin' my trigger either. I'm well stocked and just scooping up misc stuff here and there.

As for the Squid DB v3... I'm pretty sure @*RJ* bought one for around $35-$39 which is a really good deal. She said where in the other thread but that was a couple days ago. Maybe pop over in the "are you done stocking" thread and ask her.

... that’d be quite the epic bike trip! A bit too far for that pretty steed too . I’ll have to count on y’all for advice. Himself is associated with UQ med, doubt the health care peeps he works will be of much help. It’s crazy how nation to nation, the stance on vaping or nicotine varies so much. It’ll be interesting to see where this all is in ten years.

I think I have about 50 atties but just when I think I need to try something I haven't yet I take a good look at the decks of some of the "new" stuff and I see similarities of decks I already have. Maybe it's a different shape,color, but the vape is going to be the same. We could probably count on our fingers the number of real innovations in the past several years. Squonkers, Velocity deck, RDTAs (modern Gennies), Kayfun deck, Evolve chip, Yihi, to name some. Maybe the resurgence of mesh as a coil instead of a wick.

maybe I’ve got the sophomore blues from buying so many devices insuch a short amount of time.

 

[ShowMeTwice]

Just got an email from Hoosier E-cig ... their sale starts on Black Friday and runs through Cyber Monday.

Automatic 15% off all hardware in cart.

Automatic 40% off all clearance items in cart.

No code necessary.

I've purchased stuff from them and they're a solid vendor. Fast shipping too.

 

[ShowMeTwice]

Wicks & Wires has 20% off storewide running BF midnight to midnight. Code = BLACKFRIDAY2019

 

[NolaMel]

maybe I’ve got the sophomore blues from buying so many devices insuch a short amount of time.

No, I think we both have a bad case of “Meh, I already have stuff better than that” . I love a good sale, but only if it’s worth it. I picked up some bits from FT, but nothing big. The total for ten items was @$60.

 

[Blitzdonlife]

I bought a few odds and ends from fasttech, nothing major. One thing I thought was a good deal I hope. A Pyro V3 RDTA clone, it says it has a bf pin, but the pictures don't show it. I figured even if it doesn't, $7.69 after the CYBER15 code is a good deal. Here it is if anyones interested.
$9.05 Pyro V3 Styled RDTA Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomizer - 2ml / stainless steel + glass / 24mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Hi Sara. I hope you are enjoying the time with your sister. I am glad you are part of this community. This place and the people here have become a place in my life that I look forward to visiting daily. Sure has greatly added to my friends list.

I've only been vaping for just over a year, but I feel like I could've/should've been vaping all my life. It just feels natural to me, like it belongs in my life. It's brought me sooo many great things. At a certain age, it's hard to keep finding new things that are worth keeping. I like everything about the vaping world. The people, the community, the life it gave back to me. If we make it through to the other side, I am going to open my own vape shop. My wife wants to open an Asian street food and tea shop. Been talking to the owners of the two local shops I frequent. I like the atmosphere of the local shops and community also. If I can get one of them to sell me a franchise, I will go that way. If I can't, I will just open my own shop. I think the industry is young enough that, if I set it up right, it will do really well. The two shops I go to have helped me learn a lot, and I will use what I've learned from both of them, and the endless wealth of knowledge I have available here....and have the best shop in town.

Don't know how much advice or suggestion I can give to a veteran collector like yourself, but I know for sure that I love vaping just as much as ya'll do. I love the form factor of my Vaporesso Swag. I use it at 35 watts with my Geekvape Tsunami RDA. Solid little single 18650 mod that feels very nice in the hand. There is a version 2 out now that has the same finish as the Vaporesso Gen, which I also have. I like the finish and form factor of the Gen mod. Just feels really nice in the hand, and fires solid. I will probably get the Swag 2. I don't have any squonkers, so can't help there. I will have some before long though.

I'll cya round the forum Sara. Glad to have you as a friend. I also am available for a chat in pc any time.
