@Two_Bears I've been sticking to my Eggrolls, not had it long but it cost me less than $20.00 & it's better flavour than some of my rta's. I also recently discovered I can get pre built CLRs then rewick them so now it's even easier for me :) $5.00 on a CLR an some cotton & I'm going a while

Image captionSeveral items have lost their product images on Amazon
Thousands of images promoting goods sold on Amazon and other shopping sites have been removed after a photo-sharing service changed its terms.

Ebay and Etsy have also been affected, in addition to many forums and blogs.

The problem has been caused by Photobucket introducing a charge for allowing images hosted on its platform to be embedded into third-party sites.

The company caught many of its members unaware with the change, prompting some to accuse it of holding them to ransom.

Denver-based Photobucket is now seeking a $399 (£309) annual fee from those who wish to continue using it for "third-party hosting" and is facing a social media backlash as a consequence.

The BBC received an automated response when it tried to contact the company and is still seeking comment.

Sometimes, all it takes is a different coil/type of wire to improve flavor. Usually it comes with a cost, most often using more power. I'm thinking of claptons, fused claptons and twisted fused claptons. If you want to give them a try, give a shout. I make my own so I can make what you need....besides, us bears have to stick together.

Thanks for the offer but dont think you want a job making coils for me. I will just stick to my round wire.

One other thing i didnt mention for MTL the kayfun wins. I closed the doggy 75% and still can take a restrictive lung hit

You should like the SXK then, the airhole is 1.5 mm compared to 2.3 mm on the SJMY.

I was not going to buy anything either and found a new toy for hubby as a shed vape

Eleaf Ikonn total Full black. Found it local for just a bit cheaper than fastech (even with the coupon) and free shipping so will be here Thursday. :banana::banana: (of course I needed a girly blue one just in case I like it as well)

Wow, something local that's cheaper than FT. Good find!

I'm very much the same, in fact a new member got offended & reported me so I don't say anything anymore!
Someone would have to go to extreme lengths for me ever to report them. Thick skin, ya know. People need to toughen up, this is the internet, it isn't for the faint of heart. Spammers I'll report in a split second.

Brats and Babybacks... see you in 4 hours my beauties... Happy 4th to everyone!

Oh that looks fantastic! About to go whip up some biscuits and gravy myself.

A diatribe about two SJMY doggys then a blow by blow comparison between the new doggy and my Kompact Kayfun

SJMY doggy vs SJMY doggy.

A few months ago i got the SJMY doggy and totally DISPISED the. Thing

Old one leaked like a sieve UNLESS it had a 2.5 mm coil. New one has a 2 mm coil and hasn't leaked a drop in 3.5 hours.

Old one the AFC was so loose the AFC came off every time i filled or wicked the doggy. The new one the AFC ring is so tiggt i thought i would break the tank before i got it off.

The old one had HUGE screw heads i could barely get a 2.5 mm coil in it without shorting the coil on the screw heads. The new one the screw heads are slightly snaller. Im not crazy about needing a regular screw driver to build the doggy. I wish i could replace the screw heads with screws that use the Phillips screwdriver.

New SJMY doggy vs Kompact Kayfun

Flavor. The Kompact Kayfun wins hands down. The flavor in the doggy was muted.

Ease of build the larger screw heads makes the doggy a cinch to build. I built it the first try. The Kayfun often takes me 10 tries to trap the first lead. BIG WIN for my messed up left hand.

Capacity. The doggy wins. Holds 3.5 ml. Kayfun only 2.5 ml

Height (pocket friendly) Kompact Kayfun wins. 2 mn shorter. So close almost a non issue

Assortment color replacement tanks. Kompact Kayfun wins. ASST colors. Doggy only has translucent tanks

Replacement parts. A slight win for Kompact Kayfun. There are no spare Doggy bases available. You can get spare tanks, abd chimneys. No spare base or tge nut that holds the chimney and tank together.

Im glad i gave the Doggy another chance. I have placed three SXK doggys in my cart.

I will be switching to the Doggy just because it is so much easier for me to build. However i WILL miss the better flavor of the Kompact Kayfun
I am very fond of my doggy. I've found flavor good, building easy and it's never leaked on me. I like a restricted lung hit so it really fits my bill. That being said, I just ordered more parts for kompact kfs because who can say no to 3 more attys for $14.

I received my prize yesterday! I love the fancy screen! And the buttons and charging port look like a smiley face!
