Should I message and ask why they have my fucking mod for sale on their site? Lol. There was another site a while back that had tons of posts from here just on their site. Like Wtf.

Caliburn pods I ordered from FT just hit Chicago exactly one month from when it was sent. God only knows how long it will take it make its way here. Good to see some movement but it looks awfully fishy to me...

That goon 22 I ordered sat there for almost 2 weeks... then took its sweet time once released.

Eh. I can deal with that. IDK why it didn't go through JFK like it normally does. Probably the Rona.
I don't know who used to ship ePacket for FT, but it was much less of a shit show before China Post got involved.

Heard recently that LA and San Fran are backed up for months. Probably went there to actually get it through. Damn people discovering Wish during quarantine...

Snail Ordered :D

ordered from VapinArt... but what a shit show this morning...had to call WF and authenticate myself (Weird) and the location, kit and kabootle etc.

For posterity... if you bank with WF as I do... VA does a two part charge... one for $0.10 then a second for the remaining balance... this triggered my fraud protection and it was declined (Absolutely weird, for I have had previous charges done like this and it goes through)

Anyway... it will be shipped out today and do the Right to Left coast journey

Ugh that is some Grade A BS right there. Especially after all the waiting!

I know, that's the worst part. 15 bucks, no biggie, and I did want a few more anyway, but the whole experience sucked for me. Guess I better figure out how to put the color in the checkout, or whatever I F'd up last time :facepalm:

Well hot dayum! Those Caliburn pods from FT hit Chicago on Thursday and they just arrived here in Rochester today. Just a hair over 5 weeks in transit isn't too bad considering how long some others waited.
Maybe China shipping is starting to recover by now.

Did I miss something?

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Nope, just saw you using the track17...

I normally don’t bother with them til week 3, and before Rona... that’s when I’d just check the tracking on USPS.

2.30.38 2.5/3mm 5wrap fused
3.30.38 2.5/3mm 5wrap alien
2.5/3mm 26g 6 wrap plain

Start with the plain...

Has anyone else been on Vape Smugglers? Need to reorder the Green/black dt, and sadly a few others, but I am not seeing where I need to specify "materials" at checkout like they said. I don't wanna go through all the BS I did last time?

Curious your appeal to it over the shell? And others it seems for that matter. For me, and I could be totally wrong, but I see pulling the deck no bonus at all. Once I had how to build and wick the shell down, all good every time. I don't ever need to access the deck until it is time to rewick and build, in which case I can stretch it until empty, or just dump a ml or 2. I also see being in it's own "boro" as no bonus, if you have a BB, you have at least a boro, probably more. I would think I prefer to slide the glass down to fill vs that plug. I know I do using the Dot RBA. I'm not downing it, and honestly want to try one, just wondering.

The vapesnail fixed some of the things I didn’t like about boro+whatever.

Being able to just remove the bottom without losing a majority of juice or having to buy that stupid rod was a major QoL improvement to me.

Next the snail aesthetically was much more appealing than the factory white boro, then if you wanted a black boro and not buy the clone... it’s $40...at that point you’re nearly to the snails price point.

The seal on the factory boro is the bane of this type of device, the snail with its larger more robust bottom seal eliminates the stretch one can get when having to rewick... and you can easily over stretch the factory one... plus slide friction is greater at stretching than pulling out as the snail does.

The customization to fine tune is a step forward even over the shell and it’s multitude of airflow pins(more with the chimney inserts)

I’ve more than once pinched the seal upon sliding the glass back up after a refill... and once in a blue moon, you think you put it all the way up, looks like it’s all the way up, but really wasn’t and you get a leak... hard to do with the snail and it’s lil fill tab/port flailing about to remind you to pop it back in.

It just had many QoL improvements over conventional boro/atty combos to give it in short.

Now in all honesty with the Snail... I might find it total shit

It’s been longer than two years since I’ve had a BB...

But then I was going from mechs and RDAs at .10 on 5As to these tiny baby coils in bridges and what not trying to find a decent vape... wait... sort of the same thing now

The Xeta has some pretty versatile airflow options though too. Chimney and deck. In fact. it actually has more chimney options. I know you know that, but just a reminder :D

Yeah, but then the QoL things I liked with the snail are still present...

Now when Haku releases their all in one boro that has similarities to the snail...

Speaking as a Billet Box lover, you will not get the same full juicy vape as with a mech and an RDA. I just have to be honest about that. For me personally, the BB shines from very restricted dtl down to tight mtl.

I agree, it does. I guess the reason I am such a fan of the shell is I don't want or need options. I want a pretty restricted mtl at 15-20 watts. So far for me, it does that hands down the best. Since I set up a Xeta for Dl, .4 clapton at 27 watts, it is fantastic. I just don't like vaping that way :(

Also very much agree.
