You guys have that PMTA thing going on, right? Currently over here I’m not so worried about gear. But maybe there’s going to be a flavor ban on everything but tobacco. Which is based on 0 science. Not that flavorings can be banned, but we might not have our favorite juices anymore. Everyone’s positive that we’ll be able to still get them in neigboring countries, but they just might follow suit. Except for the UK, which has been the most sensible about vaping, but they’re leaving the EU and import taxes are probably going to be a thing.

@Shadav Better show some pics when it’s all dropped off.

    so did anyone splurge on the vaparmagedon?
    sadly to say that I did, but not complaining, spent way more than I wanted to but got a lot of things I have wanted for a while and at some really great prices...
    I haven’t spent money on vape gear in several years now, got more than I can use :rolleyes:

    Smoant Battlestar
    iPV V3 Mini
    Ijoy Capo 216

    Whoa, yeah, not a unnecessary luxury it sounds like. I'm a tootlepuffer. A single VTC 6 on a mech lasts me like 3 days. If I build right on an 18350 it would last me the whole day. The downside to which is that I don't get to switch juices very often and they last me a long time, so no point in stocking up a lot.

    Whoa, that is awesome @daleron! I remember when that Joyetech eRoll was released the first time, I wanted it so bad, but I was already neck deep in mechs and rebuildables and I knew it wouldn't satisfy me. Still, it looks so much fun. And my first experience with an eGo wasn't great either. It was the b-type (I think?) with the juice in the mouth piece. I've never had a carto or anything, so I'm not that oldschool. Switched to CE4's pretty quickly, but before I knew it I had all kinds of gear.

    Maybe if the shinyitis gets a hold of me, one day...

    Although for the OG's here this is probably not a real cigalike.

    Good afternoon lurkers :wub:

    Another round of salsa going, sauce is up next and then hopefully we can get to our peaches. But I think that might be a tomorrow project. I keep saying we are done and then DH comes home with more xyz :lol: :facepalm:

    Spot on with the quotes, Dale and breakfast looked scrumptious.

    Nice haul, Shad! Unfortunately with the ban on online ordering in NY, it’s been awhile for me.

    yeah well...... you can't really even call what I do as chain vaping anymore...that's pretty much all I do all day now, just vaping away like a maniac...
    before I used to work a lot, like 17+ hours a day so needed dual battery mods that would last all day
    now with this covid bs, I'm stuck at home (I have several autoimmune disorders)...so pretty much all I do is vape and goof off online, my company doesn't offer work from home and decided that I wasn't needed so they fired me but they lied to unemployment saying that I quit for personal reasons....I'm just now getting unemployment after fighting with them for months, it's not much, doesn't pay the bills, but I guess something is better than nothing...

    loved the cig-a-likes....greensmoke and mark10 were my favorites using 510 adapters...but there again battery life sucked....which was what brought me here to these forums and most of the people in this thread were very helpful getting me started and with things that worked for them.... it was a lot of trial and errors but I've finally found what works best for me :)
    and it was another learning curve as there really wasn't much for mtl there for a while, so I had to learn to dl...I'm more of a restricted direct lung hit now

    I'm more of a tootle puffer but with the profiles unfortunately I do have to use them between 20 and 30w
    my daily setup is the aegis legend with a squonk adapter and profile rda with mesh....it's been my setup for over a year and even with my new toys I still fall back to it....
    58756854_10157152962125970_4345303797313044480_n.jpg


    while the new mods are nice, they're not the same....the mach on3 is a design flaw....making a squonk mod that's extremely difficult to squonk kind of defeats the purpose of the mod....
    the capo 216 is crap, it has the same issues that the capo squonker had, they like overpowered it so even at 10w it's way to hot of a vape for me to enjoy....
    the battlestar is nice though, it's a pumper not really a squonker so well, i'm notorious for over squonking and flooding my rda and with it there's no way to draw the juice back into the bottle...so gotta learn that one....
    the ipv v3 mini was a surprise, I bought it thinking I wouldn't like it because 1) it's only a 1400 mah internal battery 2) you are stuck using their disposable atties as it's not a 510 it's a proprietary size, so that still sucks but really it's a nice vape, flavor's good on it, and it gives a pleasant restricted dl hit
    but I'm glad that that one turned out nicely because I also have the IPV Revo on order, waiting for it to ship...it's the same concept, autosquonker, but it is 510 and external dual batteries
    and then because I've always wanted one, got the F-30 pipe mod hehehehe
    and then a handful of drip tips, another squonk adapter, some batteries, and diy stuff :)

    there really wasn't much for mtl there for a while
    Yeah, once the 30 to 40 watt mods started taking off and almost every RTA and RDA was dual coil stuff got real crazy real fast. All the tanks and drippers that claimed to do both MTL and DL always sucked for MTL (still do, unless they have inserts or you're really into loose MTL).

    It's a wild ride getting to your personal preference, that's for sure.

    I’ve got big ole heavy clunkers too :laugh:
    Had a bad case of shinitis there for a long time ;)

    Poor Sara, you’re going to be plumb wore out ;)

    No cig-a-likes but I like my mods small.
    Meee too! :D
