im very sorry to hear that man, glad you found a job thou
last i heard he is, i think hes just been busy lately is all
Hes just trying to justify his actions by lashing out hence the "butt hurt" comment he's directing towards me and lashing out make momabear a villian when honestly she was just being a good person point is we've known her for alot longer than we've known him so which side of the story sounds truthful that's why me and RZA posted our sides of the story so you guys can make your own decisions on what happened
Exactly @Vaperjim, and he thinks that was creepy.
you mean to say using a number someone makes public is creepy
When you say "we became impatient" your talking about the group as a whole because them wording about the boxes where abouts is what made me and RZA worry about your status but regardless if you had all this stuff to do and collect then when RZA said "are you ready" when your clearly not you could have responded " nah man I need a week or so to collect some final gear for the box" and in return we could have skipped you letting the box continue on its way and when you got ready we could have sent it then and you could have filled it
I'm sorry if I held it up. I had the same plan as you. Just wanted to add to it. I'd just opened 25 Kanger Subtanks for the Expo and was going to see how much Juice and Mods I could fit into a Large box but it takes time. Anyway like I said I apologize if I held it up. Tbh I never thought of this like a mad rush to take and add stuff in a day.
I appreciate what you tried to do but that is what I tried expressing to you is there us a weird enigma with these pif boxes most people don't care about the gear their excitement comes from receiving a box if unknown gear and picking out anything they want its almost like Christmas morning opening gifts so when holding up the box your basically holding up their Christmas morningI'm sorry if I held it up.

For some people paying $13 could be a lot and that's just for the medium box. So I was trying to think of a way to not have to send a Large box plus a medium around but I couldn't. So I'll try to figure a way to hook you guys all up.
I know that's not the point but the vaping community (around me at least) is just such a cool tight knit group of people that we always go a little overboard for each other.
I personally am using my SnowWolf 200W Temp controlled with a Deadmodz 28mm clear atty and a Vaporshark DNA40 with my subtank with nickel coils or a Darrenger with a single 12 wrap 28 awg nickel build in it.
I have a Sigelei 150 with a 28mm Tobh and a ABS dual 18650 mech with a 28mm Plume Veil that travel with me as well. My tubes stay in my vape bag.

This is when you decided to stop communicating with everyone. That is why Momabear took it upon herself to contact you, and you didn't answer her, so she called YOUR shop!
Now, please just get the tracking # posted so the next person in line knows when to expect it. I really don't care if you put nothing in it and leave it as it was at this point. I HATE FUCKING DRAMA!! I have kids and a television if I want that. You're done with the box....that you're right!
Well if you were here and read up and the situation as RZA stated before we had a few bad apples and rough bumps 2 people have already had to be removed before you even received the box and back then RZA stressed the importance of people communicating with us if you popped in from time to time and let us know what's up or even texted us with updates that would have been fine you could have taken that long but all we got from you is ....I'm sending it...I'm sending it again......I'm sending it yet again......he's stressed for a good reason its the 3rd speed bump for his boxI'm a single dad with Sole Custody of my 12 year old son. I run 2 businesses and prioritize things in my life. I apologize that my #1 priority wasn't sending the box. It was up there on my priorities to fill it up and send it out when it had some cool new toys for everyone to have. I'm laid back and don't stress over a little PIF box. The fact that you do makes me wonder why you do it at all. The simple fact that you guys were worried that I wouldn't send it at all explains a lot.
In our vaping community there's no betrayals, no insecurities, we all just have faith in other. So this has been a complete culture shock for me. I talked with @MOMABEAR for like 3 hours at work one day. Had told all of you what I do and simply said "Sure I'm in send it my way and I'll hook it up"
For us that's all that would ever have needed to be said. But somehow a lot got lost in translation. I was planning on it taking a week or two and wouldn't have had you send it to me if I had known it is such an urgent, structured, stressful thing. Imho it should be fun... Put a reasonable time limit on it and just let it roam around.

As far as laying 13-20$ for the shipping most all items in the box can easily cover that cost most juice bottles run 10-15$ drip tips are 2-5$ mechs run 10-20$ everyone can find something to justify spending 13$ to ship it out again
That being said to many look at these boxes and they they will upgrade their current setup... No you won't but you will add some tthing you may not have tried yet
Nice setup I almost exclusively run my SIG 150 Oni with turbo v2 and my wolf hammer mech with Velocity

Yeah I clearly had no idea lol. I just got a new phone on the 16th? Whenever I asked you to resend his address. I replaced my LG G3 with the G4 and didn't even have your number in the new phone. I hadn't looked at this thread since my last post a couple (few?) months back so I was completely in the dark.
Its hard to express what I was trying to say in text but all this back and forth I'm a little upset having to deal with it like this but more so I'm just trying to explain that to you but I'm glad your seeing what I was trying to say shit happens I just wish we could communicate better... Doesn't help I'm dealing with the same thing in my job right now a bunch of drama due to lack of communication between departments and in stuck in the middle

Don't blame yourself momaB. Nothing you did or could've done impeded or sped up the shipping.
One tiny clarification not a big deal... brandondurr was the fist person who left the box in a disrespectful manor and bgaulding was the one who spent all her time cleaning up the box didn't even take anything from it and added a bunch of stuff and sent it on its wayDon't blame yourself momaB. Nothing you did or could've done impeded or sped up the shipping.
I can't speak for everyone but I appreciate your concern and actions.
I have no beef with where the box is or how long it takes to get to me but I can understand the possible frustration of those that can no longer participate due to the situation.
I stay out of it because it really doesnt concern me but from what I've read here,blame can't be placed on one individual. The communication between the admins,box holder and thread could've been a little better but let's look at what this really is. We each gave up a small portion of our unwanted stuff to send along to a group of complete strangers in hopes that they would all be honest and considerate.
the first person (Bspaulding I think?)grabbed some stuff and left the box in shambles and I wrote it off because I didn't really care. Then this stuff happens and TBH,I still don't care. I don't feel that I'm owed or deserve anything (especially appologies)because IMHO we aren't really "paying it forward",we're just getting rid of stuff in hopes of different stuff...
it's a neat idea and a good way for a group of people to get to know each other but none of this should get under anyone's skin save for the admins that continue to invest their time to make sure it's on track.
and one last time,I can't speak for anyone else but I appreciate the fact that obsidian tried to pad the box with extra goodies. I also appreciate the admins for the time and dedication aswell as everyone that contributed to the initial box.
SNAFU's happen.
it's a part of life and should almost be expected when there are 20 people from all walks of life and schedules participating in what basically boils down to a group trade.
Sorry for the long winded reply but that's my .06 on the subject.
cheers,
Thanks for clearing that up and I apologize to @bgaulding for my mistake.One tiny clarification not a big deal... brandondurr was the fist person who left the box in a disrespectful manor and bgaulding was the one who spent all her time cleaning up the box didn't even take anything from it and added a bunch of stuff and sent it on its way
I just didn't want her to not get credit for all she did for us
