Yay I could finally place an order with Freeman Juice Co on Black Friday for my ADV Jungle King. They were shut down for months, moved to another state. My 1st shipment arrived wrong- they sent me 12 bottles of Jungle, ugh, but I messaged with pics the mix up and they sent out the correct 12 bottles of Jungle King.

Vapemail today.
Had to order 2 more Nitrous RDA since they aren't making them anymore,the Demo RDA is supposed to be a substitute of the of the Nitrous RDA.
I reviewed the Demo RDA and meh,it was good but it had a lack of airflow options,only 3 holes.
3 holes opened way too airy,2 holes opened and meh it was ok but still not that ''hit'' i get with the Nitrous RDA and 2 holes closed it was way too restricted.

So i had to order these just so i have enough,think i got like 10 at the moment,although these are the ones that have only the ''dual cap''.
Not a problem thou,close the airflow a tad more compared to the single cap and voila!! just as good.

I finally got the Billet Box Blueberry Jawbreaker. I always wanted one but I was always too slow to enter in my Credit Card info to buy one, and they sold out from under me, lol

A related but somewhat tangential question.
Vape Tax?
The search here didn't bring me anything about a vape specific tax so I'm wondering if MyVpro is on a gouging campaign.

Anybody order from them lately?

I haven't bought anything new in a long time, but I thought I'd grab some of the old Smok BBB Q2 coils, just to have and they're actually pretty good.

2 boxes of 5... 20 bucks.

Vape tax and shipping brought the order up to 59 dollars? WHAT!?!?!?

Did I REALLY miss something?

Here's the kicker. Just for grins I added enough to bring it over 75 for the free shipping and the vape tax went away too. Looks like a normal order from the old days.

I've ordered from Sourcemore several times before (and been happy overall)... so I don't blame them.
Once the order gets here (in my case CA US) it goes through USPS (and this has happened before... even with orders from the US before the mail ban) It passed customs and was in Los Angeles, CA. USPS mail in CA is supposed to go through Sacramento but no, it decided to tour the East coast first:
Los Angeles, CA to Boston, MA to Nashua, NH then finally to Sacramento, CA Keep in mind I live directly between LA and Sac. The order from a US vendor (in Florida) came to CA and then to Pittsburg, PA.
Oh well... I knew it takes a long time and everything arrived safe and sound (but cost me $16 shipping on a $50 order) Rant over... time to play with my new toys :)

I feel you. I've got a sourcemore order I've been tracking since 4/9 so it really hasn't been that long at all. Not for china anyway. The tracking drives me nuts. Everything I order comes into Chicago for customs and I'm not too far so works out. First thing I open the tracking link via the button in the email. I'm redirected to 17track and the first thing that pops up says 'Wuhan' - :oops:. Then it changes to 'wuahuan' or something, like yea, nice try.

So I'm checking tracking and I'm sure it got confused with labels being made. Had the typical order began, picked up, then says delivered to Chicago. That was quick. Then says left Chicago, went to Korea. Well ok. Then it said it left again and arrived in Chicago finally for customs. Good gried, Idk where Korea fit into all this. It was just the dead rabbit pro, a couple different color airflow rings and drip tips. And yet I got 2 tracking numbers, so not sure if they split that small amount into 2 packages or what they're doing. lol

Sourcemore order came in, waited to post until it arrived. Heavy hitter showed a week or so ago. Just waiting on the other half of my coil clout order to build some coils for it. Most all my typical builds are stainless cores and resistance is just too low for mech coil imo. Got a few different sizes of n80 coming, only n80 I have now are thin wrap gauges like 38, 40 etc. Nowhere near the right size for cores.

I wont be ordering from Sourcemore anymore. My adventure started March 3rd and ended April 27th. 22 days in customs in LA is just not worth the wait or hassle for small items.

I think it depends on where the items are, us warehouse or china. Stuff shipping from china typically takes 2-3 weeks in my experience over the years. Longer if it's chinese new year. Rarely does it show quicker. Not really sourcemore's fault if it spent all that time in customs, that's our lazy asses dropping the ball stateside. Most things clear customs for me in chicago in a week or less.

By far the worst was fasttech. I dicked with them after waiting nearly 5mo and no items showed, they never even arrived to the US/customs. Took another month and half a dozen emails and multiple public forum posts shaming them just to get a simple refund.

All in all my sourcemore order arrived in 14 or 15 days including customs. Pretty normal/decent time.

Coil clout order came in, well the rest of it. Jonathan was super helpful over there, they were out of some of the spools when I ordered. A large order from indonesia wiped out their stock and they had to run off more small spools. All the wire looks really clean and he tossed in a few extras. The bag of cotton, cotton shears and a set of 0.34ohm fused claptons.

Good gracious heavens.
Raymo would approve. Looks like I missed some of her progress. Also looks like she might have been putting that 60 year old high quality metal hand drill I sent her to use.

Has she been around at all lately?
Not for quite awhile. I haven't been on Reddit much, but she had posted there a bit when I was, 6 months or so ago. Was worried for a long time because one of her last posts here was around 2022 and she had the dreaded covid crap.

Voodoo's ;-) new rev 2 pod tank... Pro's: lots of air, inexpensive, the new PNP X coils are yes, better than the standard PNP's and last much longer. Setting a new standard. Pretty much leak proof bottom fill port, large volume of eLiquid. Could be a pro or con, top air flow. Con's... can't change drip tip, air flow is not very precise. No, not interchangeable (wont fit) with standard PNP coil holes as they are a bit wider.
MTL (most likely RDL) version is on the way. Will report back in a week or so when it comes in.
