@Javichu - I sent SM the links to my reviews and asked for more stuff. They replied that I was only getting one piece (I usually get two) and, they didn’t come right out and say $50 limit but that was the most expensive one they’d agree to, citing budget cuts.
Just thought you’d like to know, and maybe give others a heads up.

If I could give you my review spot I would. But hopefully it turns around soon.

Sorry to hear that DeloresRose,well at least you still getting the one ''item'' to review,better is nothing.
I've made peace with it,just liked having devices i could give away to those who wanted to quit smoking but c'est la vie.

On the vaping front not much to tell,getting paid on Monday so I'm crunching some numbers to see if i can afford getting some Jackaroo's that are on sale on Sourcemore,at 26,99 a pop they're really worth getting...at least for me,i just love that rubbery feel and grip,wish more brands came out with similar devices.

I finally caved in and bought some goodies in Amazon,pops has been on my case for like 6 months,he wanted a cheapo Casio watch and everyday he was looking at reviews in Youtube.

So yesterday i said ok that's enough,ended up ordering 2...one for him and one for me,he doesn't like it when i just buy stuff for him and he nags for me for it so meh,got the same model but in a different color.

Black one is for my pops,i liked more the other one,didn't spend much,think it was close to 50 euros both of them so meh...had to take it out of my saved wad of cash for my pc but as i said before:c'est la vie.

Hope y'all have a good weekend :)

    That doesn’t make sense. They are saving money by shipping two at once instead of one at a time. I have a feeling the budget cuts have to do with them changing shipping and lowering the shipping charges.

    Im just saying what they told me. Who knows what their deal is. It’s okay with me, summer is busy for me so fewer things to do is not a bother.

    I’ll be curious to see if they restrict me the next time. Right now I’m waiting on two tanks from them. They already restricted us on brands and no dna devices. If they restrict me to low end stuff then I’ll just stop reviewing for them. I’ve got plenty of other companies to review for. I used to review for health cabin before but they wanted to start dictating things to put in my reviews so I quit them.

    What is the size difference between a tank rba for the BB and a dotrba? I know they aren't compatible, just curious about the size

    Most dotRBA tanks use the actual dotmod PCTG tank top and hold around 2.5ml of juice.

    BB/Boro tanks usually hold between about 4 and 5ml depending on the size of the bridge inside. The Orbit holds 4.5ml.

    There's a new dot RBA that just came out called the Silo (designed by the guy who created the Delro) that holds 4.4 ml of juice which is a freakish amount for a dot rba.

    Size comparison between the Orbit and the Pioneer dotRBA (aprox):

    Orbit RBA: Height 39 mm
    Width 25mm
    Depth 16mm

    Pioneer dotRBA: Height 34mm
    Width 19mm
    Depth 15mm

    Hello Shiny's
    Well my mother's day FT order has made it to NY. Rather surprised actually since China customs had already refused it once. BCF got me again...15% off MEMORIAL22 through Tuesday. Fast becoming a huge fan of SSA.

    I’m really liking SSA also. I can’t remember if it was you but someone recommended the milky caramel fudge. I added some to a recipe that used butterscotch but it was a little weak. The caramel really brought it to where I like it.

    So far I haven't been disappointed with ssa. This round I ordered a couple strawberries (ripe & natural wild) and lemon sour type (love the natural lemon!) plus ordered some 30ml of flavors I have already tried. Their creams are about the only ones I use now. WF bavarian cream has become another favorite, sits nicely in a yogurt mix.

    Perfect comparison - thank you and Ganesh!

    I recently got the lemon sour. I really like it. I also got premium raspberry. I mixed with the raspberry but haven’t tried it yet.

    Worth the shipping cost? Any customs to deal with?

    I’ve ordered probably 5-6 times and no customs charges. I use them as an alternative to Chefs for stuff I can’t find in the US. Great customer service from what I’ve experienced. It does take 1-2 weeks to arrive usually.
