Got my bcf order in. Unfortunately the postal service can't hire competent delivery drivers. They crammed and shoved this box into my roadside mailbox. Now know why the mailbox keeps coming loose. Luckily most of it was intact, save for the alpine strawberry. Do hope this tastes better diluted than it smells concentrated. Like an old strawberry gimped off into the forest to die. Whole fuckin house smells like alpine strawberry as does my finger (from handling the bottle) in spite of washing my hands with soap, twice. Phew.

Maybe try alcohol? It got Cinnamon Red Hots off my thumb the other day when nothing else would. Thank goodness mine was CRH and not Alpine Strawberry!

Roadside mailbox here as well. Carriers will and have shoved whatever they can in there, however they can. We've had the same dude for a couple of months now and he'll actually pull in the driveway and set the shit that doesn't fit in the box on the porch. Novel concept, I know.

A lot of them do, no clue who the delivery driver is. Every time I try to get ahold of them to complain, it's a 'temp'. And never the same temp. Guess it's just a revolving door of stupidity down there. I realize they may not have trained specifically but at some point there are basic human skills that should come into play. If only common sense were common. Shocks me I can get all sorts of stuff from amazon, car parts, large 2ft long 7lb wrenches in oversized boxes with hardly any padding and shows up in a nice square box. Get a smaller box of juice flavors with big warning labels on the side and they used it to keep the semi from rolling backwards.

The irony.

I can't like that post!
That's total bullshit to treat someone's property like that!

I'm glad the damage was minimal.

I had a talk with my mail lady when she delivered my $1700 MTB wheels and I hear a thump at the door.

Not that they would of been damaged, the box is heavy duty rigid cardboard and molded foam inner to support the wheels from damage.

But, I heard her drop it, and I knew they were arriving, so I was stalking them anyway.

So I pull them inside, inspect… then flag her down.

I said to her, may I see your phone? And she looks at me weirdly… I explain simply that your $1000 phone if I just dropped it on the ground how would you feel? And what if I damaged it? Can I just say oh must of happened before I got it?

Then I told her she was recorded by two Ring Door bells anyway if she wanted to refute my claim (my door bell and neighbors directly across from me)

She apologized and now I get stuff delivered nicely and I suspect she does it everywhere now since our condos all have ring doorbells

This was the only reason I was happy to see the industry shift from the glass bottles. I remember one time I ordered like 20 60ml bottles of Grand Reserve (P Rocke) and the box arrived bent all out of shape and the corner was dark and wet and oozing juice. They did replace the 4 or 5 bottles or do as I recall at least.

Glad most of yours made it.

That sucks, what a mess. Plastic is definitely more durable in that regard. I get a lot of things shipped, it's more convenient and sometimes the only way to get stuff. Not really gonna knock bcf, they could've packed a bit different (maybe put the paper wadding in and nested the flavoring inside vs against the box side). However it was still decently packed and did have warning labels. They're not the ones who mashed it.

Just glad most of my stuff arrives ok, like the flat panel tv, grill, etc. Never know how things are going to arrive, I've had dumb stuff like a pack of post it notes (they split the order) show up padded in a larger box. Have also had way oversized boxes with loose tools from harbor freight show up with a dozen or so bar clamps and things just flopping around a box 4x bigger than needed. Clamp bars poked out every side of the box, like wtf. lol.

Been awhile since I've seen a tube mech with side fire. Aside from things like the slam piece, an actual side fire button. So many have gone to the bottom switch.
I have loved the button side-fire tube mech ever since I first noticed a new gadget entering the scene called e-cigs and the first one that ever knocked my socks off was a Golden Greek.

How about some old school side fire vape porn? I miss this rig. Poldi with the sub-ohm peek bits and MMV OverOne. It was a pretty great set up and one of my first attempts at vape porn, lol. Pretty sure that pic was taken with a flip phone camera.

They aren't cheap, but I have tried every strawberry menthol on the planet, including diy with every strawberry flavoring known, and nothing adds up to theirs, imo. It's $50 for a 145 ml, or $80 for 500ml. No brainer, it ain't gonna go bad

$A30 for 60ml in tasmania same price as 30 cancer sticks!

last couple of australian everday prices...a slab of beer,24-375ml x 24= $A50-60. mens haircuts around 25-30 bucks. ladies basic hair cut-60-70 bucks. average restaurant meal for two...$100+drinks, car parking in the city $4/hr...these are all average/rough pricings, but it means the australian dream of owning your own house is getting harder to do, if you consider an average houshold of mum dad 2 kids, as a minimum you need $1000 on the table/week. and that wont get you far...
300...food
300 rent
phone/internet 50
elec/gas 40
for b/days etc for friends 10..(500/yr)
petrol 50-75
mum and dad fags..1 pack/persom/day 400 (this is a 25pack of c ancer sticks/day) 400

total..$1100-1200/week
does not cover insurance.xmas..credit cards..car or personal loans..going out..clothes..kids
thats why the old "lucky country" tag is not quite true. its same world over i guess, hard.

Picked up a exo v2 clone, pulse rba and a clone prc integrated drip tip the other day. Going a ways out of my comfort zone with this juice. Supposed to be menthol but has a fruity flavor. Says it's supposed to be raspberry but it's not an in your face strong. Really not to bad.

We don't own ours yet, one is close.

I really am looking forward to moving out of California... 20+ years and I'm over it lol

Florida is equally stupid as California, but only 1/4 the price.

I'd rather move to Pennsylvania...
Too F***ing cold there for this old fart. Mizzery is bad enough. Lived in the Santa Ana, Fountain Valley and Anaheim area when I was in my teens. No desire to live there again lol. Last house we had was a contract for deed. Cost us $325 a month. I couldn't rent anywhere for double that. I kept my mom's house after she passed and remodeled it. I paid for it when my dad passed in 91. She had no income and couldn't let her give back to the bank. I took on a second job for 5 years to help her with the bills.

Pa it’s to bad rent there is still a little pricey, I pay $350 a month for everything including electric and internet, but I live in WV right at the very top. It’s nice being in the tri state area takes me 5 min to cross over to Ohio or PA. I go to the games every chance I get especially the Penns games I’m a hockey fan.
