Small package today, got a Taifun build stand and a Taifun drop kit for the GT4. The Steam Tuners drop kit for the GT4 is not good at all, nothing but problems, to the point where Enushi refuses to stock it anymore. I've heard good things about the Taifun kit so looking forward to trying it out.
My package from Enushi that went over 2000 miles to the West for no apparent reason is still sitting out there, keep waiting to see a scan that it's on it's way back to Ontario, but nothing 4 days later ?

Woot! ORD is O' Hare INTL airport. CRW is Yeager in Charleston. It is a 3.5 hour flight via shuttle. I ought to have two new Geekvape Athena mods and RDA kits no later than Monday.
It should get dispatched to my PO box & arrive no later than Friday. Saying Monday as we all know transit can still be wonky, or we may not get in to check PO box until Monday.
Hey @vendors in China, yes you @FastTech.com. Here's how you do it. See ORD. ORD, O' Hare airport is centralized in America. Start drop shipping to there care of USPS. USPS can then more efficiently get orders out to Americans waiting on them.
You could also do the same to reach Canadians. ORD is central to Canada as well. Dispatching postal air shuttle flights is the most logistically efficient way to get stuff delivered. Shuttles come into district distributions centers, and from there can be dispatched over land to localized areas.
USPS will gladly hand off parcels and mail to Postes Canada, working in happy cooperation.
Besides I am exercising an ulterior motive. People here need work desperately. The USPS needs people to work desperately. Put our USPS back to work! Quit putting stuff on boats to Flushing, NY. Even if local orders are for NY, they'll get quicker delivery coming into ORD, O' Hare International airport. Why does that work that way? Well, you should understand centralized hubs of operations very good. If not, ask your People's Republic of China leaders. I'm sure they will happily explain.
(No offense or political commentary intended. Simply stating what is for being what is.)No, I'm not a logistics operations specialist. Why then listen to my voiced opinion? I'm a valued customer who knows a bit about logistics from working food services/retail. I also served briefly in military service as did much of my family. We tend to understand logistics. Also had a sted-dad that drove tractor trailers all over America. You learn how to go places the quickest routes listening to and observing sleeping truckers.

Got my mods in from artisan vapor. They cancelled one of the pulse v2's, naturally was the black obsidian (wanted it to match my swell). The only other color they had was red, but it's kinda growing on me. The real lift colors are much nicer than the box art of the red. Not g10 but has a nice rubbery feel. The luxotic nc250 is also prettier than I imagined it to be. Not stabwood or anything fancy, pretty sure it's resin. And the fit/finish of the body lines where resin/acrylic meets the metal isn't seamless like a high end but for like $13 can't bitch. The color depth is what impressed me. Sort of like a cat's eye or something.
First squonk mod, will see how it goes.

I believe and hope you will like squonking. Think if you give it a fair chance you may. Also
on the luxotic nc250. I'm almost green in envy. *sighs* But it's not a squonker, dag nab it.
Yea seems to be going alright so far. Only over squonked once. And yea the color on the nc250 surprised me. I expected it to be a flat color swirl, not have the depth that it does. In natural light the body looks three dimensional in terms of swirl/color. Usually I like all the gadgets, vw, vv, tc etc but for cheap it looked nice. Originally added it to get the free shipping, then artisan cancelled one of the pulse v2's I ordered and refunded me. Let me keep the free shipping, so ended up with the luxotic and the one pulse.I believe and hope you will like squonking. Think if you give it a fair chance you may. Also

The Luxotic NC is quite a beast with a couple of good 20700s in it, in either mode. You know that's the one you can run either parallel or serial, right? I've told people before about that mod - thing will blow yer hair back if you want it to.
I've had two of them, PIF'd one and gave one to my son, but when he quit vaping, it worked its way back to my house. I rarely use it, just a little too much power and a little too bulky for me. I hate to generalize, but it seems more like a man's mod, considering the size of it and all.
Hope you enjoy it! (I like the new Pulse door design, am itching to get one of those, but I don't use the Pulse 80 that I already have.)
I got 8 RTAs from Wet Vapes for $25.14.
The average price per tank was $3.14. Can't believe that, and I got free shipping somehow. I'm not going to open any of the Griffin's but I looked at the Conqueror.
It's a weird looking tank but I bet it'll vape nice. They must've used VG on the o rings or something because there was plenty of crud on the inside.
I also got some mods from Wet Vapes. I never had any of these-
Here's some other mods I got a few days ago-

That's another one I have trouble with. Can't get it to not leak.
Never had that issue with mine. I guess I was lucky. Back then I had trouble over stuffing my cotton though so that may have been my saving grace.

There isn't much of a wicking slot with those Griffin's. I push some in each hole but make sure not to over do it. The rest of the ends either get trimmed or just hang out around each hole. I haven't had one leak in a long time.. My first try with a Vaporesso Gemini leaked. They're just about the same tank as a Griff 22 so I don't know how I screwed that up lol.

Oh way cool. I need a OG griffin tank, I read somewhere that the glass can fit the Taifun GT3 (The phrase someone else said, and I loved it...." yes I am still chasing that Unicorn") I figure for the $10 it cost me with shipping I will find out. The dimensions listed elsewhere on that glass are only like.5 off. I might be able to make it work
If it doesn't fit oh well. I had a griffin way back when and it wasn't bad.The conqueror was not a bad tank either, back in the day, you may like it.

I put my stimulus to good use...
Yea seems there's parallel, series and another mode to do with pressing and holding the fire button or something when the mod's turned off and the switch to the series side for like a series bypass. Don't plan to use that, will likely rarely use it in series. I need to get some 20700's for it maybe but that means a whole new charger. Just like I'd like to have 21700's for the pulse v2 but the 18650's I have will work in either. The luxotic is a bit bulky but mostly I liked the looks of it. Just kind of plain, clean lines, pretty color.
Never used the pulse and I agree the v2 design/style looks nicer. What sold me was the chipset being like the swell and I really enjoy it. The bottom fill is nice though the threaded cap is a bit fiddly with the flip up ring to grab it. I like that it has no major flaws, no internal leaking and even if it did the chip is sealed so no issues other than rinsing it. Nothing like squeezing the bottle popping the door off or anything weird.
Damn. I knew I should have listed mine last weekend. I've got a baby blue and white Topbox Mini kit I won't use.
I also have a white mini tank and a red nano tank. Jeesh! Good score though.
EDIT: Never mind. They're Subbox Minis.

Nice find. Looks like a shrunk down version of JK V2, including the deck probably. Hopefully it holds close to 5ml but I think it would have to be bigger than 25mm, which would be fine with me.
Yeah, makes sense, the original mini was a shrunk down version of the big Juggerknot. 5ml would be nice but if I had to guess it will be 4 to 4.5ml with the bubble and 3ish with the straight just based off of the capacity of their recent tanks and this being a mini.
Loved the og Griffin. My first rta moving along from the amazing Crown v1 subohm tank.Oh way cool.

Often wondered why there's no stocky looking 28mm single coiler in the world (that I've seen) to get juice capacity + top af wouldn't look top heavy. To be a single coiler, if QP wanted they could just shrink the build space and chimney on the JK V2.
Parallel, series unregulated and series with a mosfet possibly. God it's been a couple years since I had one.

When I posted that I bought some Kidney Puncher mod/atty protector discs, @Ms. Trixy reached out and offered to send some much thinner ones that her husband makes. They are great! There is hardly any noticable gap between the atty and mod. I need a lot more of these! I appreciate the gifts bunches, very sweet!
Got in my two Griffin 25's i'd picked up for like $15, they frickin' rulez.
Built one...looove it. DIY'd twisted 32awg K1 wire, 3mm ID.
/OT
Also got in an extra 8GB of Sniper RAM from Ebay for my olde 2014-era CM HAF PC tower, it needed a kick in the azz.
Waiting on these:
Super deal, IMO.

I'm blessed.
Is that where the inners are going? They finally moved a bit today, Canada Post ?Boom!

That's going to look good!
Nothing wrong with that. My first one was an SXK DNA60, wanted to make sure it was for me before spending that much cabbage. The fire button on my SXK went, possibly user error while learning to build bridges, I gave that one to @gsmit1 . Not sure if he ever got it working or used it for the board?
Same here,so much so that i stock piled 14 of them because it was my favorite.Started squonking about a month after,and never used them again,so now i have 14 sitting in the boxes collecting dust haha.
I still have it here with all the parts. Well, I bought a couple spare large DNA 60 screens because i ruined the one in my first Rat Black and had to take the one out of the one I got from you and put it in there.
I have an authentic membrane switch and those spare screens. I just haven't been able to get up the courage to try to solder the teeny thin joints on that switch yet and I have other working ones.
I will get to it sooner or later
I can't remember if you ended up trying the Pico S yet.
I felt kinda bad. @nadalama had no end of woe with her Lyras.
I only still have the one ultem and black, but mine has always been good to me.
Contact coils, like2.5mm small ones for the Conquerer....fit the build to the atty and the time they were made......they work amazing.
It's one of the best atty ever made, IMO. The Serpent, it fell apart...two Conquerers still running strong for nearly five years.
Wotofo made good shit, IMHO. Their CompWIre coils were and are bulletproof.

Grabbed this on a whim and boy I love this guy. Smok Thallo. Smok sure has stepped up the last few years. The mesh coils for this guy ( rpm 2 coils ) are excellent. When they come out with the 510 adapter for it ( hopefully they do ) I am grabbing that as it looks like a 30mm will fit. I love how lightweight it is and that it takes a 21700.
I did order the pod that will take RPM coils as I have quite a few of those along with a RBA. I didn't see where there was a RBA for the smok rpm 2 but with the pod I have coming the other will work fine. The colors are vibrant and it has that rubberized finish
Yes, I think it's a cat hair lol. Meko ALWAYS has to rub up on the new toys and check them out. lol
Also got the Rebirth RTA in today and ya, it's not bad at all. I have better, but this one is still pretty nice and I love the color I'm really digging these pod devices that have a 510 adapter. Prefect fit for me.
