Same here. Conventions and festivals are being canceled all the way through mid April. We’re in high tourist season from Mardi Gras till end of May. The hospitality workers crashed the Mayor’s broadcast to demand paycheck protection. No guests/diners/fares = no $$$ for them.
All but one overseas order has made it to or cleared customs here. Only straggler as usual is my VapeCiga order of more DTs, hanging out in Hong Kong’s airport. I wish any of it was something exciting. I could use something fun to look forward to opening. Somehow don’t think spare glass and orings is going to cut it lol.
I was wondering how you guys were doing down on NO. We're in the same boat. The tourist areas are empty. It's going to be a rough ride for a while...

Was wondering about your neck of the woods and how badly the virus could affect the economy. Hope you and family can stay safe.
Thank you:) It looks like it is gonna be tough for a while. We've been through it before though. The economy here is very feast or famine. The recession in 08 hit us hard. 20% of the people ended up leaving town.

many schools closed here. couple of infection cases a bit too close to home. it seems ireland is closing all schools and colleges as of tomorrow.
all the emergency hand sanitizers they erected at work are currently empty. i have 80ml in my pocket. might need to start carrying a stout stick to repel miscreants. oh wait... i have one on my keys.
i can work from home but there would be no nonsensical chatter to sour my mood. can't have these finely tuned defences laying idle.
green blotto delivered along with the vinci RBA (see, keeping it vape relevant) . hope it seeps less than the regular coils/tank have done. not a torrent but enough to irk. hardly something to grumble about i realise.
afternoon all.

Let me know how it gets on. I haven’t built the rba yet. I switched to the 510 connection because of a leaky coil. Very irritating

In Michigan they are going as far as restricting access to elderly facilities to medical only. My wife is trying to get access in time to stock up her mom's room today.

Did everybody else get the Healthcabin email offering a mask with every order over $25? Kind of a crappy way to promote themselves IMO.

Stunner....:D

Isn’t it though? I’ve been wanting one of their mods, couldn’t choose...

They emailed me back, that’s the original color. They don’t have any pictures of the other colors yet. I’m going with the OG though. Works well with the scales, I think.

It’s frustrating to hear the locals laughing at this virus situation. They just cannot grasp that there will be effects far beyond the average flu season. I Have replied with the phrase ‘intentionally obtuse’ about a hundred times a day. They think the worst of it is Meijers being out of toilet paper.

Personally, so far my retirement funds are down by 60% - I’m still buying that mod, dammit, and i expect to recover within a reasonable time frame. I doubt I’ll get sick, but if I do, im sure I’ll be fine. Im still taking all reasonable precautions so I don’t catch or spread it. But I do expect to see the little mom n pop shops hit hard, and that really sux.

Want want want want!

This is the only color they have posted, so I have no idea what it’s called, or what the other colors look like. Sent them an email. Hope for an answer soon.
I've only seen it in that green so far but they'll do any custom finish you like. Most of their mods are made to order.

I had to chuckle at their announcement on IG.

E - I just hit the link and all the color options are on the drop menu. Check their Instagram for examples.

Same here. It’s looking pretty grim economically. The bulk of the state budget comes from either hotel tax/tourist dollars, or oil and gas. Both have evaporated.
Does anyone have the link to Dr F’s (the Greek doctor/vape advocate) article about PG’s antibacterial properties? I read it in the last week or so, and can’t remember where I saw it.

Seems like just a minute ago that you were a-scared of mechanical mods. How times have changed!

Anyone have an Aspire Feedlink Squonk mod? I bought one during the holidays and totally forgot about it. I never did any research on it because it was so inexpensive.

Just was curious if anyone here has tried one and thoughts on it. I like the form of it. Very comfortable to hold.

I always forget that Instagram exists. I haven’t seen many of their mod colors I don’t like, so it would’ve been safe to just pick any of them. I love that green though. Impressed that the emailed back so quickly. I half expected them to say you pick color, we send what we want and you say thank you!


Or, we’ll add pictures as soon as Tralfaz sends us some!
