See.....that's why I try so hard to find US vendors. I'm just not constitutionally capable of waiting that long for my stuff!

That's how I wound up with 2 SIDs... and paid 19.00 more for one than the other... I got tired of waiting.... (but hey.. you need back ups... right?)

Dude! I checked the tracking that many times, and that is shipping from a US vendor! I'm not real patient, either. Really. Only One vendor in US carries what I ordered. Oh... hang on. Got to check FedEx again. There may be an update...

That's why I have that e-mail me immediately thing going on whenever it's available.

Absolutely! I'm at this very moment agonizing over my next mod! I've been sort of "sponsoring" my friend as he gets into vaping and off cigs. PIF'd him my ego kit and clearos, donate the juices I don't like (he'll vape ANYTHING if it's free), etc. Well, the ego finally gave up the ghost, so I lent him my MVP till he can buy himself a new rig. Which, of course, leaves me with just my SID!!! No backup!!! THE HORROR!!!! Except it gives me an excuse to buy MYSELF a new rig! :evil: Sort of necessary anyway, my SID is doing this weird thing where the display goes out or it shuts down for no reason. Works fine after I take out the batt and put it back in, but makes me nervous. There are a ton of B&M's around here, but all are WAY over priced. I'm talking almost $100 for a Vamo. Not even the v3. The old one. Not gonna get stuck paying that if the SID kicks out, so a-shopping I go!!!

This is what I'm waiting on, just because it's purty :)
You should pick up a could VamoV3s for back up... they have been solid for me.. but then, so have my SIDs...
If worse comes to worse you can go pick up a CTwist for around 30.00 or so locally I'm sure.

I LOVE the looks of that one! The only thing that held me back was I read that the threads scratch the finish when you screw the telescoping tube up and down. Let me know if you have that issue, cause if it's not a problem I'd love to get one!

I run 18650 only, so I don't plan on having that problem :)

It does look nice. I have toyed with getting a mech, but am trying to save up for either gobs of DIY juice supplies, or a Provari. Every time I save close to enough, something zaps the funds...

Hope you have it by the weekend, and let us know how it performs with the RSST. Should be a good combo.

Got an Octopus RDA that I'm playing with and enjoying as a project more than an all day vape tool, mainly because, while I enjoy the definite taste advantage, frankly dripping is a pain in the ... while doing anything beyond sitting in front of the TV or computer.

Octopus = Smoktech RDA, right? I've got one on the way right now. I've used cartos and clearos up to this point but wanted a more efficient way to test juices, 'cause God knows I've been buying a lotta different liquids lately.

I definitely will! I'm pretty excited to see what all the mech/genesis fuss is all about! Gonna spend the next couple days till it gets here reading up on building mesh wicks and how to be sure I don't blow up my mech! :laugh: Got good batts already, so at least I know I'm covered there!

Yuppers, same one! Was super easy to build, too, after I wrapped my first coil/wick for it I was like "Man, is THAT was I was so nervous about?" Vapes good, too, but once you get past the crazy huge wick that comes with it it's easy to flood. Probably just my inexperience as a dripper.

I dripped for about a week when I broke the plastic tank on my RBA. COnverted it to drip until I got back in town. Dripping does take a little practice. I flooded mine a couple times each day. That is how I will sample juice in the future.

Oh. Pull over to drip... It was an interesting drive to the airport. Pull over. Drip some juice. Pull back onto highway. Vape a while. Repeat.
