I hope to get one of those IGO-L's in a week or two, will you have plenty of stock on those around then, or do you think they'll run out quickly like your AGA-T's did?

Thanks!

well.. I have no idea. I'm closing from the 20th to the 26th because I'll be on vacation. I'll be making a restock order while on vacation so... we'll see. I honestly have no idea how they'll sell, thats why I only ordered a limited number the first time around.

Alright, well I guess I'll have to just check stock and see what's left when I have funds to spare!

Will you ever bet getting any of these tips in blue?
Anodized Long Aluminum Drip Tip

Speaking of tips, any plans to get the knuckled ones? Not sure that's what they're called really? I mean the ones that are adjustable angle.

I'll see if they have the long tips in blue for my new years order, I was REAL close to ordering some knuckleheads, they got bumped by a couple SS models I wanted.

I have a very defined method of ordering products. I only order a limited number the first time around and try to limit the "weird" or unproven items so I don't end up with some duds sitting on shelves forever, I see what goes well, up the stock on those items, keep the slow guys around for one more round and if they stay slow, eliminate them from my stock. The knuckleheads are in that 'weird' category but I'll grab some next batch just cause I wanna try one.

ANd now... steam monkey sleeps!

Thanks, I know I'd want a long blue one for sure.

As for knuckleheads, I'd like a blue but black would be OK too. Of course though, since those are in the weird category, don't order them just because I asked! I can grab one sometime from other places, no need to leave you with stuff that might never sell. I do want a long blue tip though, and you're the only one I've seen carrying tips like that too, so I'd have to get it from you.

Night Monkeyman!

Thanks for the detailed description on the new carto tank. I was looking forward to these but the description with the details of the screw issues changed my mind. It seems the Chinese get crossed signals in their duplication efforts and mix and match ideas without regard to the consequences. As you pointed out, the screw fill hole is not necessary with the ability to easily remove the tank lid. And the screw I interferes with some drip tips.

I think I'll wait and see what version two looks like. Meanwhile, some new ViVi Novas and drip tips in the pipeline!

Thanks Lance!

honestly, even though I'm not using the fill scew... I Like having it there. 1. it looks neat :p I'm into machinery and stuff so.. 2. I noticed something last night which is sort of a 'duh' moment but when you take the cap off and fill up the tank then screw the cap back on, it sorta floods the carto just a little. not much mind,.. but a little. If you take the fill screw out before putting the lid back on that doesn't happen.

also... You'll notice I 'do' post negatives about my own products. I need folks to know what they're getting into. The tank isn't flawless but I still think it's freakin cool ;) I've been using one since the shipment showed up yesterday. I'm biased though, I love me some carto tanks lol.

I am new. I have been monitoring your thread and what folks have to say about you and your store before jumping in. I am impressed with your attitude as a supplier. I made my first order this morning and have already gotten a reply from USPS about a shipment...at least I think it is from your store!! Wow impressed with how fast you are getting orders out!

I have read how you don't mind using knock off products - I agree and am impressed that you tell us and charge accordingly. I don't have to have a "V" or whatever stamped on it in order to vape it...as long as it works!

I am encouraging some new vapers to check you out - your Twist kit...this is a great kit and at a great price!! I love the Boges for a starter - FANTASTIC idea and with charger! Easy to use and with 5 Boges they can try different juices using a small amount of juice. Great starter kit for newbies! I am suggesting this plus add another twist - can't beat that price for a great starter kit!

Thanks for being an honest vendor!

And thank you for the kind words and patronage. I'm honest about what I've got in stock. I rarely sell something I havn't used or tested myself before putting it up and when I do, it's only after some great reviews from people I trust or just because the demand is so high it's stupid to ignore it.

T3's are a great example. I read about them, wasn't interested because I don't like the required ego thread to make them work but I got so many messages about them I went and bought one for personal use, been using it a few days and am pretty impressed with the lil guy, so next re-stock I'm going to pick some up as a trial, see how they sell, then if they do well, get a big order.

I blind ordered the igo-l, agr carto tank, and aga-s because after talking with the supplier/manufacturer and using the aga-t, I was really impressed so, I took a leap of faith and I think I landed safe. These lil guys are awesome.

I sorta want to try the knuckleheads myself. I figure even as a weird product enough people might be interested to make a trial run worth it.

I am currently building goody bags for the igo-l and aga-s.

10sq meters of SS mesh starts off as 2 1mx5m rolls, one each of 400 and 500. I then cut that into 12inch wide 1 meter long strips, which I then cut 6, 6inchx12inch strips and one 'scrap' the scrap then gets cut into 2inch wide strips for my samplers.

I then take my spools of kanthal and cut ~8inch pieces from all three and make tiny little wraps with them.

Then I take 1 of each little coil and tape it to a card with a label for each awg, then on the back of the card a strip of 400 an 500, also labeled.

Then I open every RBA, inspect it for missing parts or major flaws, repackage it with a generic drip tip and pair it iwth a goody bag just waiting for your eager lungs ;)

Enjoy!

I am not a reseller. I am a store.

@napdog. Lance has updated pics of his wares in his store. So much better than other places that use pics of the first product they carried and never update to *show* you the changes in different revisions. I got one of his last AGA-t with the screw on cap. He did great work matching the cap to the body for airhole alignment.

I got one also, and yes he did do an excellent job matching the airholes. I thought I had read he was getting some new ones, and they would have the o-ring top caps. No more threaded. I could be wrong. I'll have to back through the posts, and check.
