When is the big 3, Burns?

You got the ONE, huh? I'm anxious to hear your thoughts on it! I hope you're not put off by the difficulty in opening the darn thing. I used a letter opener ..... for the win!

And yes, it's single batt OR dual batt compatible. I shall prolly NEVER run it with two, but options...... we love options.
September 18th, 2013 was the start of Totally Tobacco Free (and I DO NOT consider vaping a tobacco product) :) I started vaping in 2009, but went back to smoking due to the crap equipment back then. I was having breathing problems in 2013 and put it in my mind I was going to make vaping work, which I did. When I started looking at what was on the market, I was happy with all the improvements, which has improved even more in the last 3 years. I have WAY too much gear (yea I know, no such thing), but I always spend a little to celebrate a vapeaversy. What I got at 2 years, turned out that I just didn't like it, but that's how it goes sometimes. I can't imagine with the deeming going back to gear from 2007, if there was any back then, I would be hard pressed to vape using something that old. I also have 2 iCares coming, one from FT (which will be here someday :facepalm:) and one from ecig-city which will be here Monday. :) All total this year I have spent less than $60, might buy something else as I normally spend around $100 on a vapeaversy, :D , just not sure what I want at this moment, as I don't Need Anything. :D

You have to love it mod $19.99 shipping to Australia $35

Shakes head :(

Yeah. I feel your pain. Some of the US suppliers use a third party shipper that really socks it to you with outrageously over priced international shipping fees. There was one where I wanted a 5 dollar part and the shipping was over 40 bucks.

Newp! Not gonna happen.

I am not too upset because I really need new gear (said in a sarcastic voice) :lol::lol:

So shipping costs put the brake on my spending. :p

    Are you talking about the Mako Minno?

    No, this one.
    Mako Midi V3 - Moju Republic

    You turn that center screw in for battery fit.

    @Burnie - Happy (Early) Vapaversary! Like you, I started with crappy cigalikes, and it took over 3 years to "find my way"

    I spend "a little" :lol: :lol: :lol: more than you per year, but this amuses me. I'm about 6 months behind you to reach my 3-year mark.

    I've learned a lot, met some AMAZING people, and NO LONGER SMOKE!!!!!! WAH-HOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    So, treat yourself - you deserve it!

    (I just did - x2 - one for me and one for a friend ;) )

    Ahh ok yes I remember those, never had one but have seen them around.

    That switch is so good that the only cleaning it has ever had was the week it spent at the bottom of a waterfowl marsh. :lol: (and I have been using it at least some every day for 6 years)

    More congratulations and early happy 3rd vaperversary @Burnie :thumbs:

    I'm sandwiched between you and @DingerCPA with 3 months to go to make it 3 years tobacco free, having also failed between 2011 and 2013 with crappy cigalikes.

    I've just realised that I've passed the 1,000 day mark and will use that to justify the Coolfire 4 18650 that arrived in the mail yesterday :D

    I feel your pain.

    I would have some prothingys but i refuse to be gouged by a shipping company.
    I'm with you Mr. Flakes, Prothingies are on sale right now and while there are some good prices (sigh) once you factor in shipping and exchange. ..not so great :(

    Tres Bien, Mlle. @Maytwin :) I certainly haven't experienced the vast changes as some of our friends on the thread have. I just didn't know ECF was out here, so I didn't stick it out - had I known, I might be around a 5- or 6-year mark myself.... But, I'm here, and y'all are stuck with me! :p

    The $100 is just for the vapeaversary present, I have spent over $6000 in the last 3 years on vape stuff, like I said, I don't really "Need" anything. :facepalm:
