Had a little tiff at the pack n ship this afternoon - because I used brown tape on the boxes, the guy advised me that I couldn't ship priority flat rate, I had to pay full prices of like 15 per package... um. No. Not happening!!!! I bought a roll of clear tape as well (Walgreens was out when I bought tape there a few weeks ago, so got stuck buying brown then), brought everything home, carefully removed the brown tape & replaced it with clear - packages going out tomorrow... Sowwy!!! (I almost bopped the guy in the head with my cane for being unpleasant - he actually yelled at me for coming in just before they closed I got there at 4, they close at 4:15!!! Um.... sorry, will take my business elsewhere from now on! Shame, too, because it's conveniently located, and I like to give my business to local shops when I can, but not if they're going to be unpleasant! Sheesh.)

K...Sorry...the guy was arguing over and extra $10 in shipping because of brown tape vs. clear tape...what???? I don't get it?!?!?!?!?

That's actually not very much money-wise. Less than $35 for the lot. Considering the list is supposed to be for the entire family (sister, b-in-law, adult nephews, etc.) I need other suggestions. What do y'all think of glass drip-tips? Empire has some great ones.
Glass Drip Tips

Trippy's...Second to NONE!!!! http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modder-accessories-supplier-forum/184358-art-glass-drip-tips.html

There is a picture thread too....http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...785-new-trippy-tips-pictures-only-thread.html

I've looked there. Unfortunately, it's a lot like the Reo site. Apparently, they're made a batch at a time. Registered users are warned about the upcoming sale, and they have to scramble to get them. There's actually a couple over on the classys. I think they've already sold.

True, but I picked up 2 my first sale, not my top picks but definitely beauts....I have 5 or 6 now...(ugh...I just thought I how much that equates to thank you very much Reidus) including a donut...so yes, its a scramble but, its fun and exciting too. I kinda enjoy the "thrill of the hunt!" Which is probably why I have so many...and you can always find a couple hanging around the classies...a good time to look there is either just before or just after a sale. Some of the "old timers" will sell off a few of their stash to make room for new ones if you don't like the free for all. But I'm pretty good at the sales now I can help or give you some tips if you'd like to try. Just don't get your heart broken if you don't get exactly what you want you first time out.

Right!?! Brown tape apparently voids Priority flat rate boxing in his opinion. Whatever - I'll take my business straight to the post office from now on I guess, even with clear tape! Oh well. Crappy attitude & horrible customer service = lost business, no matter how convenient the location!

You guys always do this to me...chitty chat away all day..then I come home at night and try to catch up and end of talking to myself for hours...if I didn't have a complex before...

Come on, you can tell me, is it because you like to make fun of the blonde from So Cal???

HAHAHAHAAH!!!!

:wub: you all!!!

Well.... :D
Really though, we :wub: you too - you should come visit us! (okay, by us I mean me & Glen :smokie: )

That's how a lot of the really popular vape gear things are - Trippy Tips, REOs, Lavatanks, Bella Tanks, etc - they're all hand made in small batches, and they are very much loved by vapers the world over. Much love = fierce competition when sale time rolls around!

Actually, it looks like only one sold. I just requested the second one. This is it:

I can't speak for Mythus (though I know she uses hers!), but mine is mainly for decoration right now - they are wonderfully functional, stay cool, and have good mouth feel, and while they're fairly durable, my dropsies have me too afraid to use mine or buy more. If ACDF fixes the dropsies, I'll start using the beautiful tip I have, and I'll buy more - they're great tips :)

Hoosier actually is selling Trippy tips! Just so's ya know!

There are currently a few vendors selling trippy's, including Hoosier and MsT's Bakery - I think there are 5 of them right now? Mythus, do you know the others off the top of your head? I want to say Kallies, too...?
