    Morning shinies ;)

    I'm an idiot. I dropped my Taifun GX when I was cleaning it this morning. Shattered the glass.
    I've found replacement glass at Crème de vape in the UK but it would cost me about 45 bucks including shipping to get one delivered.

    I was wondering if anyone knows if there are other rta's that might have the same dimensions.
    It's unlikely (23mm diameter RTAs aren't all that common) but thought I'd ask.

    Do you know the glass height? And I've seen styled GX's on Aliexpress cheaper than the cost of the glass tank, if you wanna go that option.

    I have that and like it. I like that there’s an adapter for a tank, too. Although I am not in love with the Zlide… but it’s not horrible. Not sure it’s enough battery for a long day. I guess could be for some. I should grab coils for mine.

    See this is why I was absent so long. Every time I pop in I ‘need’ to buy something.

    Found my squonkers! I have another downstairs. The blue and green one is messed up because the magnets are in the door wrong way ‘round. Amazing that I can find anything in that mess. And that’s maybe 1/3 of my stuff.

    Also found my Lost Vape pod and I have a few boxes of coils for that. There are just times when pods are easier to cope with. Not heavy, don’t take up a lot of space.

    Would you ship from South Africa?
    There's a glass manufacturer here that cuts to size. If your interested I'll go look up that info and send it your way.

    That’s a good start. You’re obviously getting low on hardware.

    That's a great offer mate. Much appreciated!

    Good evening folks,
    I have stacked a pallet of firewood, and am deep in the order list.
    One company that was cheap only took companies, found out that I have a farm with a company number, so then lol What can you not harvest from a farm !!

    I'm also wondering if I should go with some Eleaf Pico 75 in color dazzlin. Don't like the color at all, but I can loot them for the micro usb chipset.

    Artchanic (Articulate Mechanics) in Korea released their SBS mod, the Arti Archetype, about a week ago. First batch was 30 mods. All sold in a literal "blink of an eye" via their FB group. Second batch will be released in a couple weeks. Folks have been receiving theirs over the last couple days.

    Construction: Aluminum hard-anodized body, SS plates top/bottom + battery cap
    Battery: 18650
    Chip: DNA 60
    Max diameter: 22mm atty's
    510 drop: 31mm
    Weight: 91g
    Dimensions: 23 x 46 x 71 ( ~the same size as an Eleaf Pico 75 )

    It ships with the engraved battery cap on the right. The engraved revolver cap is optional.

    Artchanic is a small shop, so small runs is the name of the game.

    Personally, I think it's one of the nicest looking SBS mods I've ever seen. I just might............ :greengrin:
    It's a pretty sbs, very classic looking.
    The Up/Down button appears to be a separate chipset panel.
    Looks much better than the two buttons that sit vertically on the dna 60.
    That's a great offer mate. Much appreciated!

    Thanks Ange
    Then at least you get GX up and running again.
    The next time I have something from CdV (will certainly raid the store in November) I will buy a 4ml glass for you mate. Then it will be mail from Norway -> Australia.

    I haven't really followed this but do some of the newer Pico 75Ws come with a USB C connector and have a chipset that can't be upgraded to Arctic Fox firmware?

    Good morning Shiny's
    Kittens are eating food and out & about in the bedroom (Mama San guards the doorway much to their dismay lol). Going to make my Gracie's appointment to be spayed Monday; I don't want her to go through it all again. I suspect Pretty may have heart worms so holding off on getting him neutered until fall.
    Have the new itank 2 going and loving it for a home setup; the new spring lid works well but not sure I would trust it for a carry mod. The new design seems to have smaller wicking ports but so far have'nt had any saturation issues; should mention I don't chain vape it due to higher wattage. Really a smooth lovely vape at 60w.

    I’ve been thinking about trying the new itank but haven’t. I’m still pretty happy with the original.

    I actually like the og but the cap is difficult for me to open, my thumb just hate it. Of course with the itank 2 I keep forgetting to move my finger so the cap can actually open. lol

    Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
    I have finished the work with the firewood, and will start with the kitchen walls tomorrow.

    In between I will write a piece to the Norwegian Parliament, we have received links so that we can give input and our experience to the changes that they wish to introduce to us vapors.

    You are too kind sir!!

    I haven't really followed this but do some of the newer Pico 75Ws come with a USB C connector and have a chipset that can't be upgraded to Arctic Fox firmware?
    Yup, all Eleaf with USB-C are non-upgradable firmware.
    This also applies to the Pico 75, which has had usb-c for the past year, and it is mostly the one sold in China nowadays.

    I just got an odd email saying that Authentic Brands is buying Rockport out of bankruptcy. I used to wear a lot of Rockport shoes and must have bought directly from them before. I had no idea they were in financial trouble. I switched from Rockport a few years ago when they decided to change my favorite work shoes. I do still have a couple pairs of their shoes that I wear in cooler weather.
