Guess I won't be doing any vape shopping with the debit card tonight! I'm amazed how much they were able to spend in the store. While I wait for reversal of charges. I still have my divers license, so they must not have asked for ID at the store. They cleaned me out!

Please don't use debit cards on line. Always use credit cards or those money cards you can buy in Walmart. Credit cards have additional guarantees that debit cards may or may not have. Plus its easier than restoring what was lost in the debit card.

Debit cards offered by Mastercard or Visa are SUPPOSED to have the same protections credit cards have... just saying...

They are in the process of reversing the charges.

The four or five times my debit card has been hacked the bank has always refunded my money and any insufficient fund fees I've occurred. Now my bank offers a money market account card. I transfer purchase price to it, then use that to make my purchase. If someone hacks that number then tries to use it, the purchase will be denied because I only keep a penny in that account unless I'm using it. All of my card hacks have occurred since I started buying vape gear online. That's why I like using PayPal.

Personally, I use the Walmart card for on-line purchases and gas stations. I usually keep a few hundreds in that account and reload funds as needed.
Feel bad for all of you that got problems with card numbers being hacked, sadly it is the reality of the times we live in.

I guess sometimes vape stuff just goes bad for no apparent reason...? I'm convinced that at least this time, it's not operator error[emoji4]

I'm back on page 125 and read this, so If it has been figured out already, then just ignore me. Did you flip the base upside down and check to see that the 510 pin from the ST was sticking out, if it is pushed in then it will not register any ohms.

Yep, I tried that. Plus the base worked fine with other coils. But thank you though!

I'm also seriously impressed with Dish tv by the way...we didn't lose service at all! we recently switched, and I was nervous because we had satellite growing up and lost service when a plane flew over! lol

When I switched from Direct TV to Dish I experienced the same thing, Better service during a rain or hail or even snow storm, as a rule.

Oh my... a youngling! We had rabbit ears with tinfoil and got 5 channels on a really good day! Beautiful black and white, too. Satellite was science fiction when I was growing up.

Rabbit ears and 5 channels huh ? When I was a wee little boy, I remember our family being one of the first to have TV in our little town in Ohio back in the mid 50's. Black and white, 3 channels. I used to watch "The Mitch Miller" band on TV and Walter Chronkite on the news, and yes, the rabbit ears. The TV came in a nice wood console, no remote control though, Dad had one, my brother and I.
