And those hours and pay were from the factory that makes Apple products.

Applitists....

I have NEVER fallen for the Cult of Apple, and NEVER WILL. Back in the diskette days, their PCs didn't even have eject buttons for diskettes! If it got stuck, you had to dig it out with a paper clip! And now their phones -- "You can't customize this phone; you will have a phone that looks the way WE want a phone to look, and pay 5 times what it's really worth." Greedy fascist fuckheads.

Well at least you do not have to join an invite only FB group to 'win' the privilege of buying their products.

I did... more than twice what FT was charging, and 3F is also chinese, so they would have the interminable holiday and interminable shipping too.

Andria

I'll bet you could machine one of these into a mech mod in no time.
Looks like there's room for two 18650s.
Detach the gears from the hand crank and you got one fine fidget spinner.
derp
Could easily turn that handle into a stacked tube. And I'm assuming the 510 goes where the line used to spool out of?

And every year, they come out with added functions that Android phones had years before. :giggle:

I just wish it wasn't a choice between Apple and Google. *sigh*

To funny...I don't build on my mech tubes...it was just the first thing I grabbed to pull the cap off the RDA when I got it LOL...then I just left it there as I was test fitting drip tips.

I honestly use a HCigar VT-133 to build on...

Anyhow finally found the perfect fit drip tip for the Flave 22...

Just had to put a slightly thicker O ring on and boom snug.

It's the stock SOI Shorty Drip Tip

I haven't run the gambit of coils yet that I normally do on a new atomizer...I'll probably toss in the Alien next after this bottle...but in short I do like it more than my Flave 24. Can't go wrong with either one...

Additionally, if you're not opposed to Clones, you could pick up the Flave 24 for like $17 and probably soon the Flave 22 for the same...although I am sure they wont offer it in Titanium, but a 22 stainless version would be kick ass.


But if you're looking for a RDA that probably fits the bill across the board...I would probably say the Entheon is it...what they offer and the price is hard to beat.

Again if you're not opposed to clones, the Entheon is on the China sites ;)

I am not against them, nor those that buy them... their money and I am no one to say how a person spends theirs.

Maybe... but it's got side airflow, so the jury's out, till I try it. That's why I'm also going to customize my Magmas -- I KNOW I like the vape from those. :)

Corporate consolidation. It's eating away at the US. It's why we get stuck paying $200/mo for cable and shitty internet lol. Oligopolies are thriving these days.
Nah, that's the regionally mandated monopolies making the high price AND making the mergers inevitable. If they had to compete on an even footing they never would have gotten that large.

Nor that expensive! I've been cussing the various cable companies since they started, since they don't have to compete with ANYONE. At least now, there's an alternative with satellite. Comcast can kiss my ass.

Get yourself an Amazon Fire Stick and a good powered antenna and kiss cable goodbye forever. I haven’t had cable in four years and we’ve been fine.
I pay $60/month for internet, $9.99 for Netflix and $7.99 for Hulu. If you get a Fire Stick you don’t even need to pay the subscriptions. Plenty of tutorials on YouTube to set one up!

I'll probably be moving to YouTube TV with their unlimited DVR... Has every channel the both of us like plus with our Samsung KS9000 with all the built in suite Apps the few missing channels are there...and my Brother in Law works for AT&T/Direct TV and I use his log in for all the pay channels and NFL Sunday Ticket already lol

Forgot to add, has every local channel included

ALL the major networks come in crystal clear and in HD. Definitely not 1960. But hey, by all means keep paying $100+ a month for TV. ;)

I don't.... I pay $138/mo for combined home phone, DirecTV, and internet.

Now that is something that I haven't had in nearly 14 years... a land line. Service for land lines have to be absolutely dirt cheap now, like no more than $10 a month lol

It's really not a landline, it's a VOIP. We don't use it, but needed 2 services from AT&T to get the great rate on DirecTV, and no way in hell would we pay thru the nose for AT&T wireless -- my husband's is work-provided, and I use MetroPCS. So we keep the "home" number... in case my stepfather forgets that we prefer to use our mobile phones. :D (which I only acquired in May 2016!)

Man all this talk about Apple reminded me I need to go get my 2 8+s I ordered, already got my new Apple Watch! I buy all our phones full retail and haven’t had a contract in years and probably never will have another one. Sure dropping $2000 on phones is crazy but I save a ton every year since I sell the previous models for $500+ each and don’t pay for a monthly contract.

I always wondered about Smart Watches...not that I would own one unless gifted...but what is it that makes it worth owning? Is it a convenience thing? I never was one for watches, nor needing to check the time etc enough to ever own one...

Genuinely curious, what lets say your Apple Watch does that your iPhone doesn't?

I also buy my phones outright... last one was the iphone 6s 128gb for $99 non subsidized/contract nearly 2 years ago.

Got one, meeh! Not tight enough for true mtl....

Yeah? Damn. Wish you'd piped up sooner. Oh well, maybe my son will like it; he also likes MtL, but with a LOT more airflow than I prefer.

Or nationally mandated monopolies like the NBA and NFL?
who are exempt from antitrust laws.

For me it’s the ability to check texts, call people and other things while out and about or if I’m in a meeting I can leave my phone in my pocket and see texts. Also I can leave my phone at home and use my watch to call people even if I’m miles away.

How did you get a 6s for $99???

heck I just have a flip phone and hate it most of the time.

Cellular devices make people drive worse, removes any development of planning skills and creates textaholoics.
They are the precursor to the Zombie apocalypse.

That’s awesome!!!! I’ve never done a trade in with an old iPhone, I always get $200+ more from selling it unlocked online. I’ve been bitten by the iPhone bug for years and always get the newest one, trying my hardest not to buy the X when it comes out...... but I probably will :-/

The best part is I HATE Mac OS.

I don’t use mine while driving, have Bluetooth in my cars. I use mine for work and we also have a business so invoices/emails and various other things require us to use smartphones so we don’t have to bring a laptop everywhere we go.

The best part is I HATE Mac OS.

I'm not product loyal when it comes to phones, I do prefer the iphone over android, but in the end I get which ever one has the better deal at the time I buy a new phone.

I did have the 4s, then didnt have an iphone til the 6s, in between I had android phones.

The iphone X looks awesome, specs are awesome...but I still run iOS 9.3.3 Jailbroken when iOS 11.1 is active, even my old Ipad 2 is jailbroken on 8.4.1.

The one thing I hate about iOS is how they cram updates down your throat...with my phone Jailbroke, I set it so it doesn't check for updates...cause some of these updates are like 6-12g and that update is downloaded to your phone waiting for you to hit the "update button" additionally, they always push the new iOS and blanket it with false security updates and with my Tin Foil Hat, is just garbage code to slow the older phones down so you think you need a new phone.

My old Ipad 2 was on 9.3.5 and slow as hell, well a Jailbreak was recently released and I rolled it back to the latest still signed iOS ota which was 8.4.1 and the thing is snappy again.

I'll probably have this Iphone 6s for another 2 years honestly...Apples battery warranty ends on it in January, I'll probably take it in to apple care and be like, FOOS my battery sucks... and get a new one ( battery )

Only have 9% wear on a nearly 2 year old phone, plus I use a 4200mAh battery case with it.
