Just past midnight here and a very happy new year to all of you.
Honestly it's an empty celebration in some ways for me. 2019 has been a bad year with closest friends passing and drought and fire strangling the country in ways never before seen. A confused and turbulent world.
It's liberating to be able to be speak my mind though and I sincerely wish you all the best for 2020.
Happy New Year! Here’s to a better year!!

With regard to clones I think it just depends and you just need to know the answer. Generally speaking sxk and yftk are the safest and more consistent quality but then sometimes ulton is. It's a shame that @Vape Muppet isnt around much anymore as she knew a lot about which version to buy.

Anyway, it's always best to go on a recommendation from an existing user....that's my main point :)

To what are you specifically referring Charlie? As a general rule SKX typically won't let you down. YTFK can be good on the whole but suffers from inferior or wrong sized O-rings, thinking of the FEV here, also the parts can feel a bit grindy and overly rough on occasions. The Ulton atties I have are excellent, the GTR is superior in every way to the YTFK version, comes with the PSU tank and has way better tolerances and deck screws, but the YTFK one vapes the same. The Ulton Tripod is also exceptional but I don't have a comparison clone for that.

Coppervape is really bloody hit and miss. You have exceptional clones like the Skyline, average clones like the Hussars which have thin tank windows and loose O-rings and absolute trash tier clones like the Spica Pro. Then there was that other rubbish clone they made that we both got and didn't really care for. I forget its name but it felt really cheap like it wasn't even Stainless Steel.

BTW Happy New Year to one and all! :D

My last shiny mail of the year. The Nord stuff is for my son, or possibly PIFed. I still know a few smokers who may want to quit.

No plans to go out, so I’m cooking some baby back ribs.

Wishing you all a very happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you too.....good to hear from you :)

With regard to the clone issue....tbh I think that it was the integra but not sure. My memory is really bad. somebody else had had problems with the build quality of an Ulton version of some atty.

Fast and hard hitting too. Love the physical on/off switch
Isn't that the nicest thing ever. I didn't even read about that before I hit purchase because I just like the way it looked so much and it looked like it was real metal and going to be nice and heavy and for some reason I like heavy mods it's definitely a heavy mod but it's not uncomfortably so. Now if it was slick it would be uncomfortably heavy cuz it would be hard to hold. I have a real thing for mods that if worse comes to worse and someone broke into my house I could beat them with it and then take a celebratory Vape for not getting killed LOL

Happy New Year Shiny People! :banana: :toast:

PS my mystery vape sample package was returned to sender by China Post after 39 days circumnavigating the globe. No explanation ofc.

It's now been resent by DHL .... here we go again :rolleyes:
Maybe the mystery is that is actually a secret Espionage package that must tour the world to find out the various secrets of leaders far and wide

    If anyone sees an Elevate RTA for sale please let me know. Thanks!!
    straight from the source it's 20 dollies (around 30% discount form their original price). only the blue are in the china warehouse, the other two remaining colours are in the u.s., same price though, maybe cheaper shipping (if you are in the u.s. i mean, otherwise it's the blue or nothing for you_ as it had to be for me, they emailed me after i'd ordered and said so, i nagged, they didn't budge).
    you get 5% off if you buy the bundle and/or (not sure what i did, there's a discount code Hello2020, though that doesn't apply to the tank itself)
    don't buy them all!

    I REALLY pray (lightening strikes :evil: ) that 2020 is better for everyone including myself. This year kinda sucked for a lot of people (I’m looking at you @charlie1465 & I’m actually including myself with wiping out like an old lady breaking my hip :w00t: ) Feel free to add your name!!! :thumbs:

    The only vape Mail I got today was consumables and I don’t think they count but their GT2 coils for the stash anyways. Nothing exciting except they were $5.99 for a 3 pack!! :thumb:

    How is it even possible for something to be so cool looking?
    I have one of these I bought years ago if anyone is interested. Brand new in box and just put away collecting dust. Just was not for me. Put it away with the Hohm Wreckers and other Minikens, and the Lost Vape and the etc etc etc
