I didn't really care for how the review sample and replacement Arez were packaged from Hellvape. They have their own tape made so there was the Hellvape name all over the outside of the packages on the tape they used to seal the boxes.
When did you rcv it? They said mine shipped but nothing yet.

My Haku Venna from Australia was delivered today. :thumbs: Last night when I checked DHL tracking it still said Monday delivery. It shipped on the 22nd. Package was labeled "Craft Metal Parts" and it was shipped from a personal address.

For now she resides on one of my dotSquonk's. The airflow is more open than the SXK clone and the machining is night and day. I installed a 26/36 316L clapton 0.45Ω coil and Mavaton's wick. It's a very nice restricted DL. Ms Venna brings the flavor and then some. I am very happy. :)
Wow that was fast. Sounds like a great RDL squonk setup. You thinking of buying one of those gorgeous custom coloured Vennas too?

It sure was fast. I am always impressed with DHL. With them, come hell or high water, it's always 3 days. I like the colored Venna's but no. Those are a little more pricey but they sure do look cool. After my excellent experience with Regency Vapour I'm looking for more cool Australian vape shops to browse. BTW Steve from Haku Engineering handled everything including shipping. :thumbs:

The local prices here are usually a bit higher but sometimes there are nice little gems that are sold out in the big international stores. My Ultemo a case in point. Got that here. (they answer questions and communicate via txt or phone)
Vape Shop Sydney | Electronic Cigarette | Vaper Choice Australia

Everest vape is another small Sydney retailer that has some good bits and pieces. Great CS too.

All Sub Ohm Tanks, RDA's, RTA's

a few more that I've bought from in the past:

Vaping Products & Accesories in Australia

Victory Vape • Buy Vapes, Electronic Cigarettes & E-Liquids, Australia

Vape Store & Vape Supplies Shop Melbourne | Leaf House Vape Shop (they even have a Hippovape Kudos here - I know you want one)

And there are the local big boys like Vapoureyes and Vapo Aus.

    It was just earlier this week. They shipped it the slowest/cheapest option so it took a long time to arrive.

    Nothing much to report here...three orders on the slowboat from China.... definitely a bit of shipping disruption going on :rolleyes: Perhaps the shipping company is a subsidiary of Evergrand :cry:

    Just heading to the Abyss thread as I've been summoned :)

    Have a good day everyone :wub:

    Hi Shinies! Haven't been here in a while! But I am going into the hospital for knee replacement and rehab for about 2 weeks, and am wondering what I should do as I am sure vaping is not allowed. What would you do? I am thinking of reverting back to my days of chewing Skoal and buying a couple of cans of it and just use a little bit at a time. I also thought of buying disposable vapes but I don't really know what to do. I have a week. TY for any suggestions!

    Tbh....I go to the day hospital a lot and I just take my DL device (Dvarw) and vape like crazy when needed in the bathroom. If you're not up for that I'd take an MTL device....something which doesn't blow clouds and up your NIC a bit so that you don't have to puff on it so much :wub:

    That is a good idea, I have a Innokin Sceptre that would be perfect for MTL but IDK what to do for juice. I guess I could buy a bottle, since none of my DIY stuff seals.

    Disposable is a good idea. I mix some 50mg 50/50pg/vg menthol nik salt for a little nord2 with an rba for stealthy vaping. I can vape it in the kitchen when I'm cooking and the wife doesn't notice any smell.(she doesn't like me vaping in the house). Be sure they give you one of those ice water bucket cuff things for the knee. I would freeze some ice in solo cups for the thing when the wife had her knees done. The ice chunks last longer than cubes. She always said stay ahead on the pain meds, and don't wait until it hurts bad to take them. Good luck with it.:)

    Sceptre would be perfect. This is my on-the-go device. You should buy a bottle that seals well and with a dripper that will fit your Scepter pod.

    Flavors? If you can vape unflavored, that would be best (most discrete). If you can't, I suggest a scent that won't alarm anyone, something common--mint/menthol, for example. Nobody will ever notices/questions a minty scent.

    Consider Swedish snus instead. Please. It's discreet, pure, and safe.

    ETA: Unless, of course, your surgeon told you not to use nicotine pre- and post-surgery. Nicotine may slow down the healing process.

    the Brunhilde MTL RTA is very forgiving with how you wick her. And I place my coil about 1mm above the airflow hole.

    Thanks for the tip. I've had no luck with top coils whatsoever in the past. Too hot, too close to my lips, spitting, etc. I sure hope this won't be the case with Brunhilde. Fingers crossed.
    Have a great weekend, Shinies! :wub:

    My pleasure and I'm always here for any other Brunhilde tips if needed.
    Have yourself a fantastic weekend Kat:wub:

    I have to stealth vape at work so have some small pod devices like the Xros with stronger than normal liquids in them and use a simple mix of 2.5% Inw mix mint that has almost no smell. I also use Swedish snus. General brand is sold in the US at many stores. Nice thing about snus versus dip is you don’t need to spit.

    Aspire Kumo is shipped. Very exited about this one...but it's probably going to take a month at least :(
    I wish Sourcemore had a DHL option. I'd rather pay a little bit more and get it sooner, than pay their high shipping rates only to wait till doomsday.

    I’ve noticed since they changed their shipping that the shipping charges have increased quite a bit.

    Good morning everyone! I hope you all (me included) get shiny vape mail today!

    yesterday I got consumables in vape mail - flavored killer Kustard which has become an “all day vape” or as close to a single flavor that I may vape all day. Just love it but the problem is that my cholesterol and triglycerides are high so I need to start mixing up some fruits or something similar to get those values down :shock: !!

    but the fun news is that i have a couple of vape mail items headed my way!! One order at Vape Source was delayed due to a Claymore rda in the black and silver color I picked so I changed it to all black. NBD. I ordered a Mechlyf thingy in black. So the black Claymore will be matchy match perfectly. I’m actually looking forward to it!! Yaaay!!

    What I haven’t done is order the VA Marquis. I fell in love w the raspberry one but with out any codes it’s just to expensive with state vape tax and shipping. And now I’m not crazy about any of the colors available at the UK store. It’s ok. It wasn’t meant to happen.

    So I appreciated feedback on the mechlyf it was on a “flash” sale so if it poops out not a huge loss.

    What’s everyone planned for this weekend? I got “nothing” except some chores. Hopefully your weekend is a bit more exciting lol!!
