When you've had a chance to check out the Vinci X I'd love to know what you think.
Will do, but we’ll all be waiting a while to find out. Since it was a want not a need, ordered it from FT. With the holiday code, it was twenty something $. I’m a sucker for getting stuff on the cheap.

I'm really enjoying the Tripod. Don't know what extension kit means...? I got some bubble tanks from these people
3PCS Atmizoo Tripod rta 22mm tank Bubble Glass Tube Fatboy Replacement [FT090x3]$7.99
It gives real good flavor. Only "problem" really is the drip tip. Its way to short, unless one has chicken lips :p. It does build up some condensation now and again, and deposit it unexpectedly :cry:
You can use a bigger bore tip but it needs bigger o rings. I'll work on that later. For now i'm content and happy with it :thumbs:
You already have the bubbles? I’ve never heard of this vendor, but the added capacity would be nice

The vape tax in Nevada is about to go into effect. I believe all the shops are going to have to pay 30% wholesale tax on all unsold inventory. A lot of wholesalers are moving out of state now, and online retailers will probably soon after. 8vape is a pretty big company, so they likely have a lot of inventory. It is probably better for them to liquidate it than rry to have to come up with a huge lump sum for taxes in order to stay in business. I predict a lot on Nevada businesses will be closing soon. All these new regulations and taxes have done is kill the American businesses, and made a better market for the Chinese companies.
That makes sense since neither 8vape or vape happy have had the normal amount of stock for at least a month. I started noticing it around BF. Drop ins I don’t shop, so no idea if they’re new or just getting cleared out. It’s a shame, customer service if you needed it always stunk, but you could get some stuff at or below China prices, and blazing fast shipping (2 days for me).

It's sad. Las Vegas had such a thriving vape community and one by one shops are closing down. It has been a large industry here for a long time but thanks to the State government's greed it will probably be greatly reduced. I think they are shooting themselves in the foot with the tax as well.They won't be getting any tax revenue when nobody is buying, or is ordering from overseas. You can't tax businesses that don't exist...
That may be their plan.... if you can’t legally (or without outright losing voters) get rid of something, tax it to the point it’s not feasible to sustain as a business.

    For some reason I thought the clunky beauty ring held it together since it screws on (from something in PB’s video preview) so I left it. But I hate how it sticks out.
    Where did you get the vinci rba and 510 connector? I really ordered it on a whim based on @bigbob2322 ’s review
    Are you talking about the RBA coil head for the Vinci X?

    I've just ordered this RBA for the Vinci as I prefer the look of the build deck. I think mel is talking about the 510 adapter....a must have piece of kit in my opinion. Love what they've done with the Vinci kit and accessories. It's a well thought out piece of design and product follow up. We are living in a good time for vaping innovation and accessorising :)

    When purchasing the 510 adapter be sure the one you get has 4 magnets, there is a 510 adapter that only use 2 magnets and it will cause some wiggle with a tank.

    Morning shinies ;)



    I'd still go for this one:
    https://www.fasttech.com/products/9694054
    it just looks a more solid kit and it has full sized fat screwdrivers, plus a decent case :thumb:

    found its actual name:
    AOLVAPE Multifunctional DIY Tool Kit for E-Cigarettes - 9 Pieces
    for once CB had more info than FT!

    i was actually acquiescing and proceeded to order the wotofo below because i feared the quality of the cheaper ones
    https://www.fasttech.com/p/9676584

    mainly coz of one bad review on CB stating
    Dür das Geld ganz Ok nir die Schere taugt überhaupt nix.
    which is weird German for 'for price, yes, but the scissors don't scizzz'

    then the sale ran out and i dozed off. hoping there'll be a new year's sale. meanwhile, maybe someone'll jump up now and say ''good thing you didn't! because...''

    also meanwhile, my throat has been so sore lately with all the chaining and i'm thinking i'm investing too much effort :matrix: toward perfecting my self abuse :vapor:

    edit: @AngeNZ have i mentioned how wonderfully helpful you've been and that i am thankful? coz you are wundervolly thankable for how helpful you ben had.

    Thanks Bob......definitely looks like the Vapeasy one is better than the one I posted as that looks like it may be just held in by o-rings. I just checked my orders and i'd actually forgotten to add it anyway (LOL) so ill change to the 4 magnet one I think. Only problem is it'll have to wait as i've just put three separate orders in so i'll add the adapter on my next purchase.

    Hope that you and your family are having a good christmas :)

    This is the rba head I bought.
    $4.62 (Free Shipping) MECHLYFE RBA Section Rebuildable Coil Head for Voopoo VINCI/VINCI X (VOOPOO VINCI/VINCI X, RBA Section) at m.FastTech.com

    The 510 adapter is coming from vapeciga with the dts. It doesn't mention or show how many magnets it has. I'm saving Bob's link incase it mine only has two.

    Both, actually. I need the rba too. Hoping if I like it I’ll have time to grab a couple more mods . I like the size, versatility of “toppers” and best, no internal battery!
