I just mean in general, not Amazon especially.;)
Ever since I've started vaping and ordering stuff online, every seller has USPS as the shipping option and while UPS is available, it is very price prohibitive. For years, ordering stuff online the majority of shipping has been UPS, with Fedex coming in a distant second, and USPS nearly nonexistent. I think with the recession and the increase in fuel prices, express shipping services with their fuel surcharges has gotten so expensive, and the USPS has been marketing their package shipping services so aggressively, we are seeing more and more USPS shipping. Although major retailers like department stores, etc. has the volume where they can negotiate deep discounts with Fedex or UPS, so they can still ship primarily with them. This is something your small mom & pop businesses like vape sellers cannot do, so it is cheaper for them to ship USPS.

Warning..... LOL
Well, I just looked down the chimney on my TFV4 and the inner hole is about the same size as the Ego ONE drip tip I am using on it.
The very first thing I did when I got this tank, you guessed it, replaced the drip tip.
The TFV4 have 4 air inlet holes and the airflow is massive. The supplied drip tip is also massive with an included additional air control. Could not tell any difference with this fancy drip tip compared to the standard one other than a VERY airy draw with the tip's AFC fully open.

Well, if your inner bore is matched your about right. I have a few slightly larger, but do not use the real wide bore tips. Just don't care for them.
I keep the stock on the TFV4, but never open the AFC - Kills flavor for me.
I also have a random mix of Ming's. Really like the feel, but a few are narrow channeled and strictly MTL. Big tanks start getting flooded if I use narrow ones.

Lots of checks and balances on Tanks.

I noticed one Louis uses, looks nice and open - bigger Vase/Ming. Sometimes you have to pay a little more, but there are some really nice ones out.

So I was thinking about some of the clone rdas that people have bought in black. I keep hearing the paint chips off, so I wonder if maybe painting the outside with a clear nail polish, like the top coat...if that would help prevent the color from chipping.

Lol, I mean for example a company has a low cost or free USPS option, and for $6 more you can get the 2 day priority USPS shipping. You pay the 6 bucks and it ships the next day or you don't and it sits on a shelf for 5 days before ALSO shipping 2 day priority. That to me means the $6 has nothing to do with shipping costs for the company!:eek:

I've literally done nothing but vape, read threads on vaping, play call of duty, watch videos on vape related thing, and talk on the phone today.
Gah, Christmas break is amazing. I've been so burnt out from school that it feels wonderful to do absolutely nothing but what Curleeee wants to do. Which is essentially nothing haha.

I would advise against it. Nail polish reacts to heat. What RDA are you talking about? I have a black Tobeco Velocity, and have experienced no chipping.

Yup...I places 2 orders being shipped 2 places on same day. Got free shipping on one to me, paid a lot extra to get priority shipping on the other. Mine came before the priority one even left.

"Priority" never means anything with the USPS. Whenever I order and they ship it 2 day priority, that means I will get it anywhere from 3-5 days. The only place I've ever ordered from where I actually get it quick is if I order from My Vapor Store. They're located in NYC and I live about 75 miles from them. I always get it the next day whenever they ship. The USPS marketing makes it sound like you will get it in that time frame, but the fine print says that it is not guaranteed. It is only guaranteed if you spring for the most expensive express mail overnight option, and then it is only guaranteed that they will get it within two days.

As far as I can tell, I've never received a confirmation email. I've gone through the entry process three times, and assumed it was ok... But kind of concerned since I can't find evidence I've clicked to confirm entry on any email. Checked all mail including spam. If anyone sees this and could suggest what I should do, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, congrats to winners, and good luck to future winners:)

I wouldn't, nail polish is not that chip resistant!

I would say your not entered! If you can still get up the entry page (3 times) your not entered.
I went to the 1st page and clicked enter here and the only thing that came up was the page that has the points.
