    Good morning shiny people. For some unknown reason I was left off the list to review the Dead Rabbit 4 rda for Hellvape. I’ve gotten every new item in the past few years. I’ll probably get it from sourcemore next time if my current review item ever makes it out of LA. It’s been stuck there for 12 days.

    My favorite feature is how her eye color matches her fur.
    that is awesome considering most cats' eyes are either yellow or green. Except for the rare orange cat whose eyes are pumpkin colored and of course the meezers with their blue eyes.
    I do not think I have ever seen any gray-eyed cats and hundreds of cats have passed through my hands.

    My earlier sourcemore got stuck in LA for several weeks as well but seems to be moving again. Looks like my latest order will arrive before the earlier order. Unfortunately it is the first order I'm particularly wanting to get delivered. Suspect the jkmrs will be benched in favor for the dr solos.

    I had one sample a while back that never got delivered. They had to reship it which took forever.

    Do your review items come from China or US warehouses? Maybe the De Minimis tariff changes could affect that stuff.

    Supposedly first order is on its way to elk grove il but still haven't gotten any tracking. I'm thinking it is more about a LA issue rather than sourcemore.
    Yes, I’m assuming it’s a customs issue but they haven’t said.

    They have always come from China but that may change.

    I think a lot of the problem with imports to the US is related to the new regulations Trump & co put into effect on August 23, packages that have a value of less than $800 and are not business to business shipments.

    As far as I understand it, the US removed an import code set that had been used without replacing it with a new one. The requirement for advance collection of import fees can be very problematic when returning packages, as to who covers what, etc.

    I haven't studied the details, but I know that the Norwegian post office doesn't ship to the US right now, that's about 130k packages annually.
    I think there are about 25 other countries too.

    Also it would require the shipper and importer to state the contents of the package. Vape gear is sort of legal or not depending on whether it has approved, and nothing much has been approved. Doubt "filters" would work anymore. Then down the road that would make it easy to stop imports.

    Morning shinies ;)


    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is the difference between them?
    More efficient build and wick imo. My only 2 cons for the dr solo are the the top cap doesn't come off therefore harder to clean efficiently and lower volume; would much rather have a wider glass width wise. I do appreciate the shorter chimney/glass and don't mind glass overhang (as long as the base itself has no overhang). Flavor is a tick above better than the mr and wicking is so easy, no thinning required at all. The way the deck is set up you can nearly vape it dry before filling. I still enjoy the mrs but the sheer convenience of the solo build/wick knocks the mr down a notch (with the exception of cleaning). Honestly if all I need is a dry burn and rewick on the solo it takes half the time; of course the trade off is I spend a bit more time filling more often. Wordy explanation but I'm sleepy and probably repeating myself too much.lol
