Love the pics DJ. Nice Gold glow. :)

And for anyone interested in a back up, check your email (or sign up for newletter) to get this week's discount code. Mine said you can get an "al la carte" for about $50.

Yes indeed! And with some fancy footwork (long story) that is exactly what I did. Well...my friend did. Like I said: Long. Story. Getting a black one this time. Hopefully it'll get here quickly. I suspect I'll be waiting awhile on my warranty repair one. No idea how long they take for such things at Vapage, but given the fact I STILL don't have the shell I ordered 11 days ago...my expectations for a speedy return are pretty low.

I got my replacement Vmod XL in the mail today...and am once again happily vaping away. BUT...when I sent in the chassis from the original Vmod XL to have it repaired/replaced I screwed up. I knew I was supposed to take off the adapter/collar thing AND the cone. But now I'm checking my supplies and apparently I left the adapter/collar thingy on the chassis when I sent it in. :( I have the shell and cone. Just no collar thingy for the 1st Vmod XL. Of course there is one on the new Vmod.

I'd feel SO much better if I had a spare collar thingy and have NO idea if Vapage will send it back when they send the repaired/replacement chassis! Does anyone have any first hand experience with that?

Anyone have a spare adapter/collar from an old XL (or v.2 if it'll fit) that they'd be willing to sell and mail to me? The new version type. If so...please PM me? Or if you know Vapage will send my collar thingy back...can I get some words of encouragement?

Home, Home on the Range...

Where the dear and the antelope play...

And the skies are not cloudy all day.


:)

It'll work out, fourth!

Actually...lots of clouds! Vapor clouds!

I do hope it'll work out. Would kind of bite if I have to buy yet another Vmod XL just to be sure I have another collar! Arrrgh!

Boy did you mess up !!!:facepalm:
No, they will never send you back the collar...
But- you may buy another vMod XL ...at any time.
(How's that for encouraging words???)

So glad that you are back in business Forth !
And now, the bad news....
My package from MadVapes came...
And I have purchased the entire inventory of 2 ohm super shorty cartos !
If you want some now...you will have to deal with me !!!!:evil:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really, I bought 30 of them, so I have about 75 cartos now (30 of those sunrise 'sunset' ones...the doomsday edition !)
I also ordered 8 more Vapage attys..
But I pulled one apart the other night...I think I can rebuild those...they are not as bad (tiny) as my eGo-c attys- and I have done a bunch of those. I am using the cartos on #11, and the attys on #12. I like them both...the cartos are easy and quick...the attys are great at home for the flavor and clouds of vapor.

Tell Emma the letter is in the mail !

Ah DJ..you nefarious rascal you! But you failed to foil me! I put in an order today for some super shorties at Madvapes...and they had a 15% off coupon, so I cleaned up! Bwahahahahahaha!!!!

I played with the ShiFu atty some more this afternoon. Meh. I don't know. When it works good it's okay. But I vape too hard and fast for it, I think.

EDIT: Well...If I decide to get another XL it's a good time right now with the 30% coupon off. But...should I? Or not? And which color? I already have the silver and now a black. Hmmmm.

That 30% off is what I used for my 8 attys and four o ring kits.
If nothing breaks..I should be ok for quite some time.
Forth...you only have two hands...correct ???
But....I'm worried if I'll get my adapter/collar back, and I need another one! I can't be comfortable with just ONE! Was thinking about getting a mini V2 for fun...IF the collar/adapter is the same as for the XL. Anyone know?

Hey all you little bottom feeders you. :)
Said with love to all. I got one today. It's not the vmod but I did get a Reo. Please don't hate me for that. After using it for a couple of hours. (I had a COPD exacerbation attack today so it's not been a great day, hacking my lungs out at work. My love is having the house painted on the inside and it's slowly killing me). But any who. I now understand why people love their bottom feeders. These things are fantastic. And for the first time I've not picked up my Provari or Legacy except for a different taste in flavor.
BOTTOM FEEDERS ROCK MY WORLD.
And a special hello to Fourthrok and Dragonbone.(sorry for spelling Ladies) The special Ladies of ECF just make this man smile sometimes with their humor. :)

tnt, welcome to VMODia. Yup, Reonauti are welcome here. :) Welp, sort of.

J/K! Everyone is welcome (except that nasty woman I met last week who glared at me for inhaling nicotine...).


I firmly believe in multiple vape love. A VMOD and anything else is just beauty in motion. And take it from someone who has fallen in love with a few a lot a bunch many several.... a MYRIAD of mods! :D

Fourth what happened to your vmod? I've been gone a while and really would like to know..............

A slight malfunction of the firing pin...it ceased to fire! Being under warranty it was sent back for repair..or replacement. Stuff happens sometimes. I was just unlucky I guess. Vapage was prompt in handling my ticket, and I expect I'll get my Vmod XL back sometime next week. Meanwhile I got another, and am contemplating getting the mini version, too!

Don't feel alone on this one.... I did the same thing when I sent mine in back in January. It took an extra week to get it back, but Vapage made good on it and sent me a new one. You do need to contact them right away though.

I just got a mini as a backup as well. I will most likely carry both with me, as they are both very pocket-friendly.

The atty and collar are interchangeable. I just checked.

Congrats, DJ. Welcome to "Vet" status. (the status you attain when you finally realize you can no longer say 'no' to shiny shiny bling bling) (or... an alternate KD meaning: the status you attain when you realize that buying ciggies saved you a LOT of money! :D)
