I vaped the whole time I was in the hospital. IN fact, I vaped in the recovery room minutes after being wheeled out from a 3 hour surgery on my lung. Then I was hooked to a drainage tube and as I vaped I could see the vapor going through the tube. Yes, I am that hardcore.
Heres how:
Immediately after surgery, I asked for my bag with my phone in it so I could call home, they handed it to me and I got my vape in my hand. Then I sent my nurse to get me some ice and stealth vaped. An hour later I was in my room, and anytime I was alone I vaped and fanned the air with a magazine. Within a couple of hours I was able to make it to the bathroom and regular vaped in there.

That's almost exactly my technique except the nurse handing me the handbag. When I had my stem cell transplant I was stealth vaping for about two weeks until I got caught by a nurse who told me that vaping was allowed

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.

Thank you. I appreciate you putting those together for me.

I’ve been checking out Used Vape sites to check on prices and availability. I’m still surprised at the $ loss even in perfectly cared for hardware.

I was thinking that gear would be a premium now and prices would go back up. Especially with top notch stuff. You know- supply and demand.

Maybe that will happen in the near future. I’m taking about LIKE NEW with all packages and inserts.

Do you have a list of used vape stores or market places to get approximate listing price?

ooooooh and I was just thinking about stabwood mods lol!

Frankly, as it stands today, for possible items listed at this time or near future, I don't think anyone is going to get what they paid for their gear, no matter how well it was cared for.

Unless, you chance upon one or two folks who absolutely "have to have" whatever is being sold and they're willing to pay a sellers asking price.

Not long ago I bought a JM Mods stabwood regulated mod and a Dos Equis mech squonk mod from the same seller. Both were in nice condition. I ended up paying $140, for both. Depending on what retailers were originally selling the JM Mods stabwood went for $300-$400. The Dos Equis for $225-$275.

In the future? As in, a few years out or longer, who knows. I'm sure some items will be considered, by some, primo and may fetch premium prices. But again, who knows. Avid collectors? Yes, most likely, but those aren't the average vaper.

Other thing to think about is with any regulated mod, eventually the electronics are going to fail. That's just the nature of electronics. Without having a spare board and the ability to swap it, I see that as very risky.

High end, high quality mechs should "nearly" hold their own.

Honestly, it all comes down to the seller. Some are just looking to move items and may not care what they sell something for.

From what I've seen in the classifieds here and at a couple other forums it is currently a buyers market.

Did anyone see the number of container ships out by Los Angels port 100 ships just sitting outside the harbor.

Order now if you can because it’ll only

Yes. Container ships are lined up like taxi cabs at an airport waiting for riders. It is only going to get worse as we head into the xmas holiday season. I read one article where they said it was "pay to play" in getting a spot for your container ship in LA. Larger companies, like Target and WallyMart, are leasing ships so they can get products here for the holidays.

That's an interesting one. You're right and because the boards are so tiny, it's impracticable to change out individual components.
Still with better made boards hopefully they last quite a few years.

Electronic devices "like" to be used. To get the best life span from a device I try to power them up every few months, even just for a minute. Adjust a couple of parameters and put them away (after a light wipe down of any exposed surfaces and contacts with isopropyl alcohol)
The big one is keeping electronics away from moisture. Scattering a few of those little silica gel packs in the drawer or cupboard helps.

That’s spectacular lol!! You’re my hero !!!!!

 

[Fidola13]

I just received an email from Stabwoodmods.uk and it has been a whole year since my last purchase from there so they gave me a 15% off code as a little Anniversary gift, I thought that was nice of them Does that mean I have to buy something now?
@Fidola13 you may be able to make good use of this code that I have, let me know if you're interested

Phil already gave me the code but told me not to tell anyone lmao!!!!!!! I’m thinking of buying one of those cute Ultroner Victory but it’s only 60 watts. I usually vape lower nowadays around 30 to 35 watts so should handle single coil RBAs.
