We do have a B&M here JC, but the last time I was in there their idea of LR was a 1.8ohm Vivi Nova. They mostly specialize in Ego batteries/clearos for new converts at twice the price. No worries, the low wattage vape w/the SR atty ain't that bad & I'm getting in some squonking practice (much easier than I thought it'd be, this lil device really handles beautifully). Plus I have lots of other devices here @ home if needed. That said, come on RM2!!!:p

Well, so much for me getting my Grande today! I think the post office here was listed in the top 10 WORST in the nation (not a joke!) All last weekend and even early today it said expected delivery June 17th, so when I got home and checked the mailbox I was very suprised to see the mailman had already come, that was until my wife told me no one ever came to the door for her to sign for a package! Now the tracking has been updated to tomorrow. Apperently they've been passing it around back and forth to a few local post offices. It wouldn't be a big deal, except for the fact that my daughter has a Dr.'s appt tomorrow and there may not be anyone here when they come to deliver! Now I'm frustrated, to put it mildly!:evil:

Can you get to the P.O. and pick it up today? Just take your tracking number. You can call first and see if they do have the package.

Well that was a no-go. I just went down there cause it was getting close to 5 and it real close. Interesting factoid, there are 2 post offices within spitting distance of my house, but as it turns out, my mail is delivered from a location about 5 miles away! Not a total loss though, cause I got my Nimbus (clone?) in the mail and set that up with some 1.5mm Ekowool and a 1.7Ω coil. I gotta open the airhole a little, but it real nice. Almost nice enough to calm me down about not getting my Reo, but not quite!

You think your freaked out now...
Wait until you have your REO. You'll start freaking out that you need another as backup. It usually happens when your trying to fall asleep at night.

It's funny, for something as bulletproof as a REO, where one would easily suffice, how we go into panic mode at the thought of not having at least 2 around.

Now go take that baby from your wife's arms and let her get some sleep :)

Ha, well here in Va, our mailmen are too lazy to even leave a card, lol. After all the rigamarole I went through yesterday I finally gave up. This morning before work I went to double check the tracking and it said it was delivered yesterday at 5:15! I ran out to the mailbox and sure enough there was my Grande just sitting there! I was happy and p.o.'d all at the same time. I had just enough time to stare at it, fill it up, wrap a new coil in my A7 and get to work, but without having to carry so many extra supplies, my pockets feel so much lighter. So far I'm loving this thing. Took me about 2 tries to master the blind squank, and now I'm a very happy camper!

Yay yay yay!!! Doesn't it just make you furious to think that it sat in your mailbox from 5:15 last night until you found it this morning??!! It could have been stolen!!! And they didn't even make you sign for it? I'd be raggin' on someone! You could have played with it all last night. But then....you may not have been able to sleep, so maybe it worked out the way it was supposed to.... :)

Congratulations on finally getting it! Enjoy!

I am glad it came and you are happy!
But,
Robert pays for that signature confirmation. Your mail person would be in big trouble if he signed for you. If it happened to me I would file a report. The mail delivery people need to provide the service that is paid for by the customer. One of these times an item could be stolen when just left.

Yeah, I was pretty upset by it. I mean, I'm glad I got it when I did, but anything could've happened with it just sitting out there. But anyways, pics to come shortly!
