The part of Canada that doesn't get enuf Snow :(
How's the weather in BC? I've only been to Canada once and that was Ontario, but God, that's some gorgeous land up there. I wasn't there in Winter, though. Is BC on par with Pacific NW, like Seattle?

Where I am on Vancouver island we have some of the mildest weather in all of Canada. It's pretty good here were running about 77 f during the day here now. So warmer than I like but bearable.

Similar to the west coast of Washington for the most part.

if you are on facebook look up the ERA group. ask to be invited to join. there have been group buys [ co'ops ] and i'm sure there will be more. just as i'm sure there will be more co'ops on ecf. these attys are in high demand

Thanks. I'll have to check that out. I saw on the last coop here that, like 99% of the ones ordered were BF, so it seems like they are filling a much needed niche. Hopefully they will continue.

as long as people keep buying them they will be made. and there are still alot of folks who want them. and those who have them mostly want more of them

I was gone for a second and you guys go all Rebuildable. ERA is better IMO. Better in every way and I have both. I have a Phenix. Let me go see if it screws on a mini. Just needs to be drilled out. I am sure they will be coming out with a 13 dollar china version. But stainless steel lasts forever and won't poison you in the long run. Stuff from China who knows.

i got a set of helping hands with a magnifier at harbor freight for 3 $ have not needed them yet but they're here

I've got that same one. It even has a 2x led light built in. So far, the only problem is that I've burn't the edges of the magnifier surround with soldering iron.

I concur...we get about the same weather patterns....Seattle may be a little dryer, but not by much. I'm between Vancouver BC and Seattle. ...closer to BC actually. The interior in BC is really dry though...High desert much like parts of Eastern Washington. Super hot during the summer and incredibly cold during the winter.

dude you were gone for like 2 hours,
i dont see much diff between the 2 except for price. theres a thread about drilling a pheonix to bottomfeed and i think they decided that it was copper inside which would poison your juice. dont know for sure i dont have 1

Phoenix fits in a grand VVgrand 18650 and VV woodville and that's it. Just like the chalice. I screwed it in my 18650 Woodville for giggles. At 1.5 ohms it's not bad. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1346825636.393581.jpg
