Offer a 50% discount for Black Friday, then jack your prices up nearly double what they were before the sale. Nice practice, former fave vape vendor. That's just backward and greedy AF. Plus, contact me 10 days ago to let me know that 2 things, of 3, that I ordered were not in stock. "Yes, I still want the other item, since you don't intend to restock." ZERO movement on the package and they're USA. Email sent, never replied to. Lost faith.

Fuck 'em.

I saw that too- just so wrong!
Not very cool at all!

Yep. I did a Google search earlier on "Asmodus Luna." A listing came up from the place you're talking about, price listed was $42.49. I went to the website front page and saw the announcement for the 50% off sale, and got all excited. Searched on item "Luna," and item came up. Price? $61.95 for the 50% off sale. Not $42.49 like it was last week. I said fuck that. Dishonest. Would not have expected it from them, but there it surely is.

Asmodus has them for @ $25 for the Mosaic ones.

Pet peeve....
Trying to sell something for dirt cheap, and someone comes along and offers you $7.50 for a mod I'm asking $25 for. Are you serious? So I'll just give you a free mod since I'm going to spend $7 or more on packaging and postage... I'll get right on that!

Could be the mod start thread also is off center,, ,,, i don't think mod makers have an exacta setting when they press fit the 510 fitting,,, some attys may have more thread than others creating an extra 1/2 rotation as well,, my point is that the reasons can vary,,, but if its a pet peeve for you,, then its a pet peeve! :). Not a big enough deal for me to reject a great atty :)

@f1r3b1rd good applications for beauty rings, if they don't obstruct airflow. This bugs me, too. @debinnv and I have fussed about this before - there are few ways the OCD comes out in me, but this is one of them.

I can live with "alignment" at any one of the four cardinal points on most mods, but anything other than that just makes me nuts.

Logos? I don't need no stinkin logos.
Why would I pay good money for something and then advertise the company that made it for free?
Capitalism works with consumers as well as with corporations.
They want me to advertise for them? Pay me money or give me free product.

I do not wear clothing with logos nor hats/caps.

No, your right. Which is why I end up buying another mod, or playing musical attys until I get everything lined up again.

if the mod has a spring 510, spacers would work.
But then you get a weird looking space under the atty and it doesnt look seamless.
The ocd struggle is real.
Seriously, I've already bought mods for the sole purpose of having alignment.
Thank God, my favorite attys are logo free.

Ahh but the SS versions are very subtle.
Only SS tanks and only white or SS mods.
Gave away all the white tanks that came with white kbox minis.

and my Blazer says Chevrolet on it.
Can't get away from all of it but do what I can.

Back when I wore genuine levi jeans I cut the label square thingy off of them.

when people come into the shop and ask if we have "special glass" or "good pens"........You're a grown ass adult, just tell me what you are looking for and I'll point you in the right direction if another shop around here sales what you want.

Yep. You can still buy Subtank Mini V2's and a latest variant of the Kbox mini.
the toptank MIni is a good tank as well.
Alas but the Pico Squeeze is no longer made....
the Subtank mini is one of the longest selling tanks out.

debadge it. thats what i did to mine. but its a pita.

Once upon a time I could have loaned you a goat. Our mama goat, Rosie, would nibble all the trim off a car. Nibbled the whole word "Oldsmobile" off my 98 Regency one time. I found the letters strewn in the sand at the back of my car one morning when I went out to drive to work.

This is a Google photo, but looks almost identical to our Rosie. She also loved dead leaves and honeysuckle and cardboard boxes. :D

This is the version I have (clone) and I think it's a knockoff of the V1.

The 1.1 is different, but still appears that there are no markings. Thing is sexy if you ask me.

I will just smile and vape as I read the posts.

I hope all those still seeking find as much vape enjoyment as I have :)

It’s a rebuildable tank? I just had a coil scare but it turned out that it wasn’t ban related.
NY’s ban goes into effect July 2020!! In case Deeming doesn’t get us with hardware, they’ll make sure they get people with flavors!

Do they eat letters off cars? If not, then you still need a goat.
I keep the wife distracted with large loads of groceries and such.
The EX might though if I let her near it.
Especially if she figured it would aggravate me.

I think that I may have spent around $175 this past year on vape stuff.
And that includes 4 mods 3 attys, 1 tank and all my consumables.

The one single thing I have myself that I wish you'd try is the Elder Dragon RDA. I'd hush then.

Looked at it but sorry swore long ago that I would not get any of those postless deck things.

Must resist temptation from those who would cause me to stray from the true path.

I'm just the opposite,,, no way will I use an atty with a beauty ring,, I want a finished product top to bottom :)

I went quite a bit heavier this year,,,with flavors, gear + bits& bobs.. the goal is to buy no more hardware,,, only vg& pg,,, maybe toss pg for distilled water in a year or so,, lifetime supply of Rayon & nic,,, even started looking/buying more glassless tanks/attys,, noticed today that my stash is 9 mechs & 2 regulated mods,,,, 2 years ago I would have figured I would have 9 regulated & 2 mechs.

I bought a Reos P67 this year in their going out of business sale. $100 +$50 spare parts +2 extra doors.

My very first vape set up $65-75? Aspire stick thing that I replaced the next day with a KangerTech 18650 mod for about the same price at different vape store-back then I didn't know you could buy online,,,, since going online 95% of my buys were 60- 80% off what they were when released. Let a year go by,, people start talking up or down a product,,, then you decide if you want it or not when these sales heat up.

I bought one new car off the showroom floor and they told me they had to put their dealer logo on it. I told them the deal was off then. No logo or I go elsewhere. I got it with no logo.

i did the same exact thing. i told em, don't bother, i'm just going to take it off.

Yep virtually all of my vape gear was bought on good sales or clearance. Just this year i found 2 Kbox mini mods for under $25 each and one came with a tank. Brand new.

Most of my best buys were for $5-$10! It got the point i had start aggressively piffing stuff out,, i i felt like I was becoming a hoarder.... Not cool since I prefer minimalist ,,, even now I feel like I have too much,,, I am meeting more vaping-people and helping them out,,, but its weird, because I run into people who turn around and give me some of their older gear that I do find homes for.

If push came to shove I could cut my stash in half,,,, my stash is what I like- fits in a shaving bag lol,,, i have another box full of stuff I don't like,, got given to me ,, vender sent wrong item & didn't want it back kind of stuff

Some of the reject bag I hang onto just because I keep thinking of building mod out of the parts,,, gonna name the mod "the couch potato'

Just recently, my husband came to me and told me some guy at work bought vape juice with no nicotine. He then asked me if I would put nicotine in it for the guy.

I had to tell him I did not want anything of the sort becoming a habit, because once it starts, it won't stop. Today, I found out the guy was going to give hubby twenty bucks. Hubby was going to give me nothing.

That's beside the point. I bought nicotine for our use, not for every Tom, Dick, and Harry. He didn't buy any of it. It's not his to sell, and none of us are licensed to sell it. He just can't get it through his thick head that shit like that just don't fly these days.

The old give them an inch they take a mile. I just a few days ago found out that a guy I was having pitty on a buying him the odd thing, not vape related things, was actually using me and giving the things to others as gifts he'd got them! :mad:

Lazy people are a pet peeve. I know it's not solely vape related, but it happens there too. Was trying to help a guy on reddit (maybe it was a gal idk), asking about a gold mod to do a full gold setup. They said if it was in EU that would be awesome. I don't know what's eu, uk, lmnop over there. I assume UK is close, found a site selling a gold minikin 2. No links but spelled out the site name (they could look it up). I get this response back that too bad there aren't any available in europe (never specified a country).

I'll be the first to admit I've asked my share of questions. But not without some input and work on my end trying to figure stuff out. At least a basic google search ffs. Some people just can't be helped I guess. Like idk, did you google 'gold mod'? That's a start. Sheesh. And while I didn't go add it to my cart, it said it was in stock at the site name I gave them. Like I can't put it in the cart FOR you, shit. Make an effort.

I see a lot of that going on. "What tank fits this mod?". Me. Hey google - what maximum size atomizer fits xyz mod without overhang. Google - answer. Drives me up a wall. Waiting for people to start posting 'hey guys - am I thirsty? Should I get some water?' How the hell do I know, ARE you thirsty? Breathe in, breathe out. Wipe, then pull your drawers up. Fml.
