So is that something new than? Because if I remember correctly, I just used Paypal's credit card pay now thing, I had no issues with the transaction at all, it was only about 2 months ago. I have no clue what bitcoin even is. :?:

KAS

If you're buying Aspire products there, you have to go through the bitcoin process. Kat's an expert.

I leave it to her.

Everything else can be purchase via PayPal, which is where I come in.

I don't know what the deal is with the large vs small hole coils, but is there a concensus on which ohm is best? 1.6/1.8/2.1?

I bought 1.8 because if was in the middle.... Haha - they perform fantastically, but just came help but to wonder if I'm missing anything. :) Haha

The small holed BVC coils were first generation and had a unknown wicking material. The market was moving to higher VG and organic cotton so aspire took the plunge. To get the cotton wicking properly they had to enlarge the holes. I don't like the taste of cotton so I struggled with these new coils. Once I found I could rebuild with rayon I fixed the cotton issue but I vape high pg 70% so the large holes are a bit big for the viscosity of my eliquid.

    So I've been doing a little tinkering with nickel builds in the Uno for the Rev 4 (dna 25) and having a hard time getting up to 0.1Ω to avoid the "low ohms" warning, and also to encourage longer battery life.
    What is anyone's favorite Ni200 build for best flavor and battery life? I'm ordering some higher gauge wire from KP (currently, all I have is 28ga Ni200). Also hints and tips on spaced versus contact and any other wisdom appreciated!

    The best solution to the "No free sampling" rule popped up today at a local shop. They charge a dollar for sampling, but donate that dollar to advocacy campaigns.

    Many local folks have offered to be the "knowledgeable customer" who will help a newbie. I will always do the same if I am present. I have discussed this with my local store and they are happy with my offer.

    Several of my local stores have reported already being scoped out by "undercover" FDA shoppers... being asked leading questions, pretending they don't have ID etc.

    The sad thing is that this deliberate behavior leads to skepticism about every customer that comes in with little knowledge.
    Love the first two parts of your post!! The last part sucks of course. I'm not surprised though..........geeze, they got nuttin better to do than try to entrap vape shops.

    What de furk? Are DPL and KD DOING the pummeling, or getting pummeled!!?? :shock:






    I saw a klever shoppe asking for a huge TEN CENTS to sample. :thumbs:

    Sca'ruuu U, FDA.
    I'll say y'all are the pummelers. I don't think KD had that many muscles, and I'm certain DPL would look much better than that in a dress!! hehehe

    How are you in high heels, KAS?

    Thanks. However, their actions were to be expected, they have a lot of kickback from big tobacco/ big pharma to protect after railroading us with the deeming and control regulations :(

    It made me try to use the Bitcoin... It confused me so I gave up. Not sure if it's just certain items like it said? I've never had to use Bitcoin before.

    This was an order on fasttech for the Aspire BVC's and some other odds and ends.

    What other purchase options did you try? Paypal, or the direct credit card options? I have not tried it yet.:?: When ever I have used paypal, I have only used it for the pay now with credit card, they have no link to any of my personal accounts, and the transactions have always gone threw. My last purchase from fasttech was for e-cig supplies, and I was still able to make the transaction.

    You have to buy a gift certificate or something. Kat can explain it later, if you want.

    If not, Discount Vapers' prices on the coils are pretty good, and they're good people to boot.

    Yep! I got 150 coils from Discount Vapers already. I'll just stick with them for any future orders. Haha

    On another note - below was an Instagram post from JMK tips, and I'm curious of two things...

    One: how would one replace the button on a rev 4 (seems like just a few screws to remove - but makes me nervous...)

    Two: what panels are pictured on the Billet Box below?

    I am not sure about the new Blue check that they are using now, I kind of want to avoid that.:|

    I got 20 boxes just a couple of weeks ago. LD must think we've all lost our minds.

    I'm willing to deal with it for certain vendors' interests. They're one of mine.

    There are only a few.
