Just noticed the good 'ol CoV MiniVolt 40W mod is only $5 at EJS.
I already have one so probably don't need another, but ya can't get much more stealth than that. ;)

They also have the Coil Master 521 Tab Mini V2 for $6. I'm real tempted, but I've gotten along fine this long without one...lol.
Usually not much for internal battery mods but at 5 bucks I picked up 2 for me mtl....?

Haven't been to Mad Vapes in years. Got their "blowout" email today, not really much of one, but did pick up a couple things. Got an Armour Pro for right at $20, always wanted one, never snagged. Got a Loop RDA for right at $10. Element wanted $17.99 for the Loop in their clearance section, plus $8 for shipping. Nope.

Haven't seen a ton of sales for Labor Day. Who knows if they plan bigger sales next week, or none at all. Doesn't seem too many vendors are taking the PMTA thing very seriously. I'll happily support those I can, while I can, though.

It's not the Mini. It's the version 1. A hell of a lot better than the Mini.
I bought 3 of them and the Version 1 is what i received

The Armour Pro is one of my favorites, hell even in white! Thanks - I got the last one!

I got a shitload of the Wismec Notch coils back then also. Tried them in a Wake RTA but nothing since.
I'm sure they'll come in handy later
The thing about those notch coils is that they're 4mm. Oh if ONLY they were 3. That limits they're usefulness right off the bat. They're also a bit finicky to work with having to carefully straighten the legs etc.

However, in some applications they are really good. Like in the IM Elite V3.2. Humongous deck and and a pair of these 4mm coils comes in at .11 or .12 with low mass. Rock and roll with great flavor..

A little crooked, but I was in a hurry.

However, being 4mm does make them really good in some single coil situations too.

Eightvape has a bunch of tank coils for $2 a pack. Prince strip coils, Crown 3 coils and more. I let my gaurd down and missed out on more Nunchaku Mesh coils. I was going to keep an eye on those for the labor day sale. The regular Nunchaku wire coils are $2 a pack though.

Out of all my time shopping there I never redeemed a code until now. It was a $20 off of $90 code. 90 bucks worth of 2 dollar packs goes a long ways lol.

I grabbed 30 boxes of the Crown 3 coils at $2 ea.
I already had around 40 boxes i grabbed from Fastech years ago and the were $9 each on a sale.
I like the Crown 3 tanks. i have around 8 of them. Good flavor if you pin the coils and iv'e never had one leak.

I know. The photo is wrong. Someone else on here mentioned it a couple weeks ago when they were $7.99 so i bought 3.
I received the Version 1

Eightvape is going out with a whimper.
I got a Wotofo Sting and a Wotofo Cog for 5 each and they pulled some more Valaryian coils outta their hat from somewhere and put them up for 2 bucks a pack. A dollar a coil. I bought 8 packs. Those were always ridiculously expensive.

The very first vape I ever tried was an Eleaf Ikuun and the og Valaryian. Belonged to my niece who still loves that tank. I still have one around here somewhere too. The coils were always hit or miss though and didn't last that long.

I have 2 of the ones in the photo. They're useful. Great build stand and while not surgically accurate, will get you pretty close for resistance. At least mine do. They'll dry fire most coils too. They need to make a 21700 version already.

One of my favorite, if not my very favorite sub ohm tanks is the Uwell Nunchaku. I haven't got a Nunchaku 2 tank yet. I was thinking about ordering one from Breazy for $22 but didn't pull the trigger.

I was looking around Health Cabin and they have them for $8.99 plus a 15% off code: labor2020. I just ordered 3 of them for $35 total ($12 for shipping 3 of them). I have no experience with them but love the coils they use in my original Nunchaku tanks. The UN2 .2Ω Mesh coils are the best flavor coils I've ever used at 50W (for a sub ohm tank).

I'm still getting promo emails....

View attachment 168536
Yeah me too. Some of them are acting like today is the last day to order. It could be tactics but could also be true? I'm not really informed about the details of this deadline thing. So I'm still wondering if most shops are done after tonight or tommorow night.

Edit- I just read on Vaping 360 the actual deadline is at 4pm tommorow.

IMO, shops are gonna run until forced to stop. Every buck made is good for the bail/ legal defense fund ;)

Seems only a few US vendors have much stock and it's all full retail price.

Good question, no answers...
I'm not feeling very prepared and it's my own fault. ?
I'm feeling somewhat prepared but who knows what'll happen. Hopefully the FDA approves some actual good items and juices and they're still available.. If you hit any bumps on the road, let us know what you need and I'm sure some of us can help. I've been buying extra things in case someone needs it. Cheap things that I find useful or essential.

Yeah I know. I kind of knew the places that weren't budging wouldn't give an inch. Earlier this year, I thought we'd see more liquidation sales towards the deadline. Element can keep all of their shit because I don't need it and certainly not for top dollar. I might just hit up Arkansas Eliquid one more time. They have those Axials for ten bucks and that's a great value purchase. I have two but I'm thinking about getting more.

Spare 510 connectors, better have them. The only weak link in DIY vape-making.

FAIK, there is no other use for them other than vapes and ya KNOW all the approved pod/etc crap ain't gonna use them or will be disposables.

I doubt they can ban the tool and die to make them, however....it aint' rocket science and don't take a machine shop.

About the only place I found much left at a decent price was Sourcemore China. Even then it's a mixed bag.

I saw an email the other day from Oasis Vape and they have apparently done a bunch of PMTA applications. Anyone has trouble finding juice should check them, at least for a while.

Well, even when I was a kid and marawanna laws were still pretty strict and enforced there were head shops that sold every conceivable type of paraphernalia known to man. Just not the goods themselves.

How laughably ironic would it be if all that is now legal, but you can't buy a 510 connector.

So true. Stuff will still be around, If there's demand it will be met somehow. Probably cost alot more and not as many choices.
I sold a bunch of gear this year that I regret selling now. Always had a hard time letting it sit around. Wish I had more collector in me but I don't.

What is ironic, but definitely NOT laughable, is that many vaping businesses will survive because of CBD and THC, whether it's vaped or used in some other form.

I find it completely ridiculous to legalize M..J.. and at the same time try to kill the vaping industry.

Do they honestly think that kids who vape would be horrified at the idea of smoking a joint? Seriously? How fucking stupid is that?

Needed to clean the OEM Notch coil in my GV Lock RDA, so while it's soaking, I made this:

gImRIIz.jpg


Wotofo Ni80 clapton, 5 wraps, 3mm, for 0.33 ohm on my Sinious P80 running AF.
Had to space the coil slightly to match the holes, but not a biggie. Top of the AF holes is hitting dead center on the coil, so still some going under it...nice.

That RDA actually works pretty great in 'normal' mode...basically becomes just a postless deck at that point. Pretty deep well too for it's size. :D

I got in on that one, too, stuff showed up today. Got an OG Topside in gunmetal, and a Drop Solo in stainless. Been wanting a Drop Solo for a good while, they're just getting harder to find.

Ohh, I meant to ask, for those that have shopped at IVS, do you consistently have issues making your purchase? I got that little buffering looking thing every time I tried to place an order, so I just stopped.

It has been a while since I placed an order there at IVS- no problems like that when I did. You could try calling them maybe on Monday- the phone rang for a while, but finally was able to talk to someone. Their snakeskin covers for the Therion were not marked correctly and they kept shipping me the wrong one.

@SnapDragon NY you'd have been proud of me this morning. I just could not let those $20 Minikin 2s go by. I ordered the blue steel from VaporRange. Haven't yet decided what atty to put on it, though.

Also, thank you for your contributions to VU on the Swat Team and now in the Moderators' group. You're a Superstar! :)

I hope you love the minkin V2 as much as I do- I have 3 of them around 4years old each and they are used daily. Such an awesome price on those right now- unfortunately I can't order from Vaporrange any more, they can't ship to NY. The Lustro is an awesome deal there too, very nice mod too.

Awww Thank you for the compliments, being a part of the Swat Team has been fun as well as the Media area- and now glad to be a part of the moderating team here too. <3
You are so sweet- you are making me blush my friend! :inlove:

I thought about that one a good while, stared at it, looked at pics online, even, for hand checks. I've never been a big fan of dual batt mods, but that price! Are those big and bulky mods?

One of the smallest dual battery mods I own is the Minikin V2- I think it fits my hand perfectly - I have small hands-
great battery life on the Minkin V2 also! Love mine, I have 3 of them.
The Lustro is a little bit bigger and a little more square in shape, but still a nice mod, love the color screen- that one is bulkier than the Minikin V2, but not by much- the batteries are a little harder to get in and out at first but they loosen up. Both these mods are really nice and both are at an awesome price!

Great info, thank you! Though they didn't have the exact colors I wanted, I think I'm gonna be happy with both. I guess I needed a little more color in my life, lol.
