Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[DaveP]

TBH, I'll still be a bit surprised if it really shows up in the mail at that price. I'm half expecting a "oops, we had a website glitch" email on that order.

Mine is showing as Shipped with two of the Squapes listed. I don't have a tracking number yet since it was a weekend order. That should happen today.
(EDIT: I now have a 7-14 delivery date from USPS tracking.)

There's been crazy deals on older model RBA's lately. I picked up two EHPro Kayfun Lite Plus V2's for $4.95 last week. I bought 3 EHPro KF 3.1's a couple of weeks ago for $9.95 and later found a $7.99 price.

I tend to use two or three RBA's in rotation most of the time, but with the FDA nosing in I want vaping security for the future. I've picked up deals on VV/TC mods lately. I have a Wismec Releaux SX200S coming that was $43.95 plus shipping. That's an average price, but still a deal. I don't need 200W and triple 18650 power to vape at 10W, but it should get me 3 days of vaping on a charge.

Like they say, you can never be too rich, too healthy, or have too many mods and tanks!

I have a 3X18650 Triade, and at 10W it was about a week before recharging. And even then, they weren't dead, I just was missing using my charger.

I have a Nitecore i4 and an Efest LUC4 charger. I really want one that shows voltage to two decimal points to check battery pairing more closely. Xtar makes one that uses a gas gauge metaphore and that allows you to compare the "needle gauge" on the LCD screen to see if they are running closely in voltage.

I've relegated my Nitecore i4 to LiMn battery charging. I use the LiMn batts in my guitar wireless belt pack transmitter.

I use a Nitecore D4, and believe it only displays to one decimal point (not plugged in right now so relying on my faulty memory). I believe the Xtar can. There's a sale on Xtar's right now on IMRbatteries with 20% off coupon code XT20.

Edit: @DaveP Charging up some batteries that USPS just dropped off, and I was mistaken. The D4 does read voltage to 0.01. Nothing against Xtar though.

Check out the Enova Gyrfalcom All - 88 charger. It's got eight bays all of them configurable for up to one amp simultaneously. Each day has its own independent LED display. The display will show you the charging amperage the charging voltage and the actual voltage. It is to two decimal points.

What amps will that one charge at.

 

[Shawn Hoefer]

What amps will that one charge at.

All 8 bays at up to 1 amp simultaneously. The bays can be configured independently to charge at .1, .25, .5, and 1.0. It will handle Li Ion, liFePo4, and NiMH.

Hexohm 3.0, somebody ask me to post a pic, forgot who it was..

This is the final release, powder coated but I had it polished

 

[Eskie]

My $2 Squape actually shipped! If it works well, it will be the best bargain I've found to date in anything. And I wanted a pack of mod guards anyway.

And two FT packages inbound on US soil so even more vape mail to play with (today it's only a boring liter of nic with a bunch of brown glass bottles to transfer to)

Strange! Mine is saying "Arrived at USPS Origin Facility - Phoenix, Arizona". I didn't elect to use anything but the lowest priced USPS shipping, though. I'm in GA, so it has to hit Atlanta and then ride down on a truck to Macon.

What's your average time from order to arrival using FastTech? How do you ship your package from China and what does it generally cost?

 

[DavidOck]

My last order from them was just over 2 weeks, using the first USPS option. Pleasantly surprised, as in the past it's been closer to 4 weeks.

Not bad at all. My stateside vendors seem to take 1 to several days to ship and it's a few more before it hits my mailbox. I get some orders in 3 days and others can take 10. I try to order from closer vendors, but I use California and New York vape shops at times. It depends on the deal and the availability of the item.

Do you use Paypal for added security? I'm not fond of the idea of having my credit card in a Chinese computer database.

 

[DavidOck]

Yep, paypal. Wish I could use if for domestic orders, for the same reasons. Not convinced security is really any better here than there...

I use Paypal for electronics, Ebay, and other purposes. I have used Paypal for ecig juice and hardware in the past, but those days are pretty much gone in the U.S.

I use the bank's gift cards. I don't trust any security, way too many are being hacked.

 

[Eskie]

I use the USPS "electronic packaging" option, which seems exactly the same as regular USPS, but it sounds faster. And one to two weeks seems to be their average of late. Payment, Visa. My bank is good about fraud protection, including calling me if there's any activity that looks different from my normal pattern, and if you really want to grab someone's information, all the protections won't hold them off.

Obviously, my bank figures I like lots of stuff from FT. I hope they don't think it's stuff from one of the questionable 'adult" categories they have. I really prefer buying that in person. With cash.

 

[Krisma]

Not sure if this helps any but I found a bit of a loopholes with quite a few of the USA vendors. You can buy a gift certificate/gift card with PayPal (it's not considered ecig related) and then use the gift card to buy the ecig product.

Not sure how this would work if you have a problem with the product but it's a way for us international folks to get around the credit card transaction processing problems we encounter.
