My friend in Yucatan just had a US guest bring them down some eGos. Shipping anything to Mexico is very risky and purchasing ecigs and such is "illegal' in Mexico. Lots of vacationers vape down there, though, and smoking restrictions are much more lax than in many countries. I have a REO set aside for him when he commits to vaping. Anyway he set it up and started using last night. Here's message he sent,

"these are e-go C2 and Ego T - im not sure why but he got each of us 2 kinds of batteries, and then they have clear tanks and atomizers with these wicks inside them. i think i might have caused the leak by screwing it shut too tight - after i got some barely decent internet i started searching around and saw all kinds of warnings not to over torque them.. anyway hopefully the other 2 for mom and joel won't leak. but anyway it smokes great - like you predicted i vaped my way to a near heart attack but i didnt smoke a cig all night. today when I found it leaking i had a cig though"

I'm so excited for them. He's been smoking for 20+ years and his Mom has been a smoker for 50+ years.

Hugs, Feisty Alice

I, also, need to get them set up with RBAs as soon as possible. I know his Mom and Step Dad will not do much fiddling so he'll have to be very supportive for them to succeed. Only makes sense for them to use RBAs as getting most supplies is going to be nearly impossible.

DH, who had to get some emergency juice down on border, and is suffering because the only juice he could find that he could even vape is way too harsh for him, sent me a text, in CAPs, "PLEASE BRING MY JUICE WHEN YOU PICK ME UP (at airport). I'M SUFFERING!!!!"

Hugs, Feisty Alice

Alice tell him to get some glycerine. Here it doesn't always say vegetable glycerine but it is. Any good pharmacy should have it.

Already told him about PG and VG. They should be able to get PG from farm supply. And they have a very good friend, a Veterinarian, who is basically on call for the Spider Monkeys (the have a govt licensed Rescue and Habitat for endangered Spider Monkeys and Toucans) and other animals so he should be able to get PG for them if they want that. Friend said their visitor, who brought the eGo and supplies, assured them that everything should last the three of them for six months but we know how that goes. I

I think main issue is going to be concentrated nic juice for DIY. Luckily they do have electricity most of the time and back up generator so they can freeze it.

Hugs, Feisty Alice

Good morning all! I am sorry I don't have the time to read the posts, and I jumped to the end. I am going to a hospital to have my MRI. I have had no problems with other PV's going through security. But never with a REO. I am wondering if I should take the kick out since I have an idea I may have to open it up and/or demonstrate it if they have never seen one? I am thinking it might be best just in 18650 mode.

And thoughts on this? Thanks!

Hi Alice...Wizard Labs seems to have good prices, and a lot of their flavorings are on sale.

Second Wizard Labs. Their prices are very good, and their quality is great, second only to Box Elder (who I won't do business with any more, even though I love their product). The 48 I have in the deep freeze is from RTS, the 100 will most definitely be coming from WL.

Good morning & Happy Friday, everyone :)
Just getting my day going. Landlord is on his way over to take a look at our plumbing. :( It needs to be fixed, but I don't need the extra drama today....scratch that. He just left. :)
Welcome back, Tim! Your trip sounds wonderful and I'm glad you had a great time! Doesn't matter in the long run what device you're using as long as you're vaping. :thumbs:
So glad to read you got your box back, Chris! :banana: What a relief! Too bad they couldn't be more precise when updating you. I'm sure you could have done without that stress. I had a feeling they made it out to be worse than it was.
Hi Clyde :wub:

Hi Val!
The kick may confuse someone, but usually when folks see electronics, their brains turn to mush anyway. If it were me, I would keep it simple and easy for the outing. Its only temporary anyway. :) If you were going in for some time, then I'd carry extra batteries and the kick. Adjust to taste once inside.

I was refering to DH's harsh juice he could easilly tone it down with a little VG

Hi Val! Perhaps you could take out the battery and the bottle, take the door off and put the Reo/door and a capped bottle of juice in a baggie and the Reo bottle and battery in your purse. That's about how i went thru security on a plane flight. Or maybe put the juice bottle in your purse also.

I am so ...... right now I could spit tacks!!!!!

Scott, all I received from you today was a ripped open, and I mean practically ripped in half, envelope with, of course, no doohicky!!!

The destroyed envelope was in a clear large envelope, that large stamps are put in, with stamps all over it that said " received in damaged condition"!!!!

I have to force myself to stay in this house...I willgo hurt someone....

I called the U"S. main gov'ment line and complained loudly, tole her I was going to go to the local newspapers, make a Youtube video, so on and so forth...

This is becoming despicable, too many people lately have their mail destroyed, so-called lost and damaged, sent to the wrong place., and WORSE stolen.

Itseems like the carriers are punishing us for whatever crap is going on there.

Just tried them and they aren't taking new orders right now. :(
