YEPPERS!!! That too on mine!! Mine even ordered his "dating" site "hookup" FLOWERS on ME!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Awww, so good to hear that chivalry is indeed not dead...



I have yet to find some solid info, and if anyone else is in the know, please do post. I believe that this epidemic has actually been spawned by credit card fraud RINGS. I think there are major illegal sales of credit card numbers going to the highest bidder in the crime world. I have heard that often these numbers are sold but not instantly used. Some of us may have been hacked long ago, but the resulting theft is now just appearing.

Need more info. Oh, and coffee. ;)

Any reason my tank is splintering? I don't leave it outside in the car etc. always with me. Never dropped it. This tank sees only one e juice. Never seen anything else other than MBV cinnamon roll. So it is not a tank craker. Never touched the screw heads excelt to put in the BB or wipe down, or anything else on the tank for that matter
Kind of worried.
See near the bottom middle. Hard to get a pic.

I have a question for carto users and 100% VG juice. I use carto tanks and 50/50 (until I can get my hands on a BB) and want to switch to 100% VG or at least 80% VG juice. I currently punch 3 holes on my cartos, will I need to punch 4 holes or will 3 holes do the job????

I apologize to Doug for the off topic (non BB user) question, but I cant think of a better thread to ask my question.

Than you!

Sorry for the tank.. but cinnamon is not always safe...

I guess itis always a possibility BUT, I have used this liquid in many tanks much more prone to juices than the BB for many months and never had issues. This is a bakery juice and have never read where it has caused issues. I even contacted the supplier and they have never had a report of it. The cinnamon used in it is not like the cinnamon used in tank craker juices. I assume their are different kinds from what I read. A friend of mine has been using it for a year or more in cheap plastic tanks with no issues either. So I don't think it is the juice. Plus it is right at one of the screws branching off of where it joins the tank.

My Amex was compromised a couple weeks back as well. 4 purchases in 2 days they started out with $3 then eventually worked their way up to $300 then my CC company canceled the card and phoned me

Add me to the list as well. I have 2 cards I use just for e-Cig stuff...Both cards got hit 3 months ago, with charges totaling over $1,500.00 at Straightalk Wireless split between the 2 cards. Cards cancelled, new one's issued, now I use a single card for e-cig purchases. Well, a month after the new card came, and after 2 purchases from 2 different vendors from me, 3 additional charges show up, 2 from Sears.com totalling $1,200.00 and 1 from StraightTalk Wireless (again) for over $700.00. Card cancelled again and a new one re-issued. Now I use disposable numbers, that are good for single purchases only that are generated through my CC Bank's website. I'm 99% sure I know which vendor my info got ganked from, as I only used 2 specific vendors on these cards the month's that I got hit, but I won't list them as they're a pretty big, popular vendor both on these forums and elsewhere. There was enough time between my 2 purchases and the thief's to lead me to believe I know, but there's that 0.001% chance I'm wrong, and I don't feel like wasting another card by purchasing from them again, waiting for the bogus charges to show up, just to prove it 100%.

I would like to know which one you think is the culprit because I to have been hit and would like to investigate the matter...could be that their servers have been hacked and they know nothing about it

My bank froze my card a couple weeks ago because someone tried to charge $7.49 at a hotel in CA (I'm in PA). I have no idea what site could be the problem, since I've made several small purchases from all over.

I got hit a couple times before, and now use a separate card just for online purchases. I keep about $100 in there, and just add more if I need to for each purchase. My bank is very good about cancelling and re-issuing a card, I can get a new one in about 10 minutes by going into my bank. They did say that 2 places most people with problems have in common are iTunes and Amazon. I have never used iTunes, but do shop at Amazon now and then. So who knows? :unsure:

Loving my billet box ;). Wish I knew why the tank has starting splintering though. Sent an email into Doug though and Karen has been trying to help me out, she has been awesome in responding to me! She is going to see what Doug's thoughts are.

So only a couple of weeks or so until we welcome some new billet box family members!!!!

When they got mine I was shopping at AV. Couple of charges to UK gift card sites. My bank actually called me while I was at the hospital with my wife giving birth to our daughter. If the timing was different I'm sure I would have been more upset about it, but I had other things to stress about.
Now I'm stressing about finding some aw 16340's out of stock everywhere! No battery's and a BB coming in a couple of weeks that's stress!
