The vanilla pudding I have is like that. And the plastic bulb split so it leaks when using. Poor design

Rats. I just received 4 or 5 Flv flavors in those damn bottles. Grrr!!!

Thunderhead Creations Tauren Solo from Vaporl and squonk pins from @nadalama Thank you very much. That was very generous and I'm grateful. I'll try them out next week when I get some time off.

I really like the Tauren Solo. Lots of airflow, and I get awesome flavor out of it. Hope you like yours. Setting it up was a little challenging until I watched a video.

FYI those bottles are old, like 2018 is when FLV was using them. The newer ones look like the Wild Melon @Synphul posted. FLV got a lot of shit about the glass with the cow teat top.

Well ain't THAT just fun to know. No wonder Gremlin had them for 40% off. Glad I wasn't intending to become a regular customer of theirs.

i was just so generously PIF'd this lot from @Pastorfuzz . he bought a bunch of the Unity's and offered me one. these are one of, if not Thee, favorite rta's of mine. the juice, for some reason he did not want it. maybe he bought a really lot of it and got tired of it. idk.
but, i am So Greatful to have it ! i tried one, the sublime, lemon pastry, the verdict is still out on that one. right now i am using the Revive, blueberry and lime. i like this one. when i get low on it, i am going to start a DIY of it.

So this is the murdered out version of the same mod. It came immaculate. The folks where I ordered it from are going to be sending me a replacement for the copper one due to my inability to get the top cap off. Plus the gentleman who I was talking to over there said that he was going to send out the tools that I would need to get the top caps off of these as well as the firing pin. Because it is a spring-loaded system, the throw on it is silky smooth although heavy - it is a heavy throw - it feels somewhere in the range of 3 to 5 lb, And it's still hefty as you'd come to expect from a Rig, although not as heavy as the original. The fact that I can put a 21700 in this mod and vape continuously for about 8 to 9 hours before needing to change the battery out is what made me go ahead and purchase another one.

Like I said knowing that the original guy had passed away, and things that their site is no longer available, you have to go to another site to purchase their products now. Makes me wonder. But everything on the murdered out version was completely different than the copper collaboration version that I originally purchased. The button is different it's got a different engraving on it. The copper one had just the liberty Bell, This one has the phrase "you can't be a pussy your whole life", and the guy's face is engraved in it. Other than that I am extremely happy with this mod. I was not very happy with the copper one because when I get stuff I like to clean it, check it for bad threads check it for debris caught in the threads, And when you turn your mod upside down to look inside of the tube and you see what appears to be grinding dust or burs from the machining process in there, that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Well the company is fixing it once I get the replacement, I will give my full sweep through both of them - so long as I can get the switch on the murdered out version disassembled... Which I might not even bother with it because both of my other rig mods taking the switch apart I very rarely have to do.

Other than that I love this mod.

I made such a stink over it all, that they did finally update the image on their website to show the correct version now. He did say he never intended to mislead anyone and that he would be changing it right away. I am glad they did that, so now at least anyone that goes to buy this will know which one they are getting. I still would have liked to get the rings it was pictured with when I bought mine but that's the way it goes. So if nothing else, at least I feel better knowing future buyers will know exactly what they are getting. Yay me!

Glad you received it. It's not that i don't like the juice, I just bought a bunch on sale. I still have some.
I just figured it would start going bad before i could get it used up. I have a bunch of DIY made up also.
I wouldn't use that Sublime with stock coils though. It's gunks them quick.
Enjoy

yeah, bullshit. i bet that 99% of those that got the blacked out were pissed. even if they fully intended on changing the rings.
andd those that diddn't buy the colored rings were REALLY PISSED. and if they initially put up the full black, they would have sold more rings.
just say'n. and good for you Deb :thumbsup:

Actually I want to thank ALL of you. I don't do all that well with big companies as far as what to say and how to approach them. You gave me the courage to stand my ground. I wont ever get the mod that was pictured ( where the switch can be serviceable) etc etc but that's okay. I will at least get the squonk pin and the screws I am supposed to have with the RDA. They still didn't list about the change in the switch but hopefully others will look for reviews or video's and will see that is the case with the V2 Vert. I do really like that one that has the big unicorn on it ( big logo? ) but I think I better cut my losses and run here. I'm not going to order one.

Edit: never mind, couldn't even if I wanted to, they are sold out of that one.

If I had ordered that, thinking I would have those pink rings, and ended up with solid black, I'da been severely pissed. I think Deb was severely pissed, and the way ArEliq reacted hasn't done a thing to get her un-pissed.

I really think if Deb had documentation of what the product listing looked like when she placed her order, and a record of her communications with ArEliq, she has recourse with Paypal on this, too. Product is "not as represented," and as Paypal demonstrates quite regularly on eBay, that is all it takes for Paypal to take the money back from the seller and give it to the purchaser.

Even when a thing is on sale, they don't get to just send you whatever they want you to have. You buy an item, you're supposed to get that specific item. Not some approximation of that item, or something someone decided they needed to get rid of before they start shipping out the item you wanted. That's just utter bullshit.

i wonder just how long it takes juice to go bad
. i am guessing a few years, if even then.

thanx for the tip. i don't use stock coils.

thank you. i am, and i will. :ejuice::cloud::cloud:

I bought the pink rings separate but I bought the one RDA to match the rings that were pictured coming with the mod which were these. So same idea really. I do have all the pictures saved from their website and all the documentation but I am not going to take it that far as it's just too much for me. All I truly wanted is to make sure that others knew of the bait and switch and to at least get the items that were supposed to come with the RDA. I got all that accomplished so good enough. Finally. I may try and paint in the etching on the solid black rings I have as I will never use them the way they are. Oh one final note as I really got a chuckle out of this. When I told the guy the whole reason I bought that one color RDA was to match the etching on the rings. He actually said to me. " "Oh well, they are not really the same color anyway" . Jesus, really?

so true. but just to clarify. it came with black rings, but the letters/logo had etched out to exposé the brass = vastly nicer.
and i am sure there were many folks that wanted "just that".

I store all mine in a cool, dark spot.
I've had Uncle Junks juice last a little over a year before it started to taste peppery.
On the other hand, i had some juice from OM Vapors that lost some of it's flavor and started to look like used motor oil after 3 months.
I guess it partially depends on the quality of the nic and flavors used to make it.

Well I am glad to know that you have the pink rings. If you send those black rings to @Jinx'd I bet he can dremel the black finish off the design and branding, so you'll have metal-colored fanciness there. Right Jinx ole buddy? It's copper underneath, right? Purty purty purty copper design on black ground!

Please forgive me, I am being gender biased. Deb, for all I know you may be a genius with a Dremel tool. I am not. Somebody can do the Dremel work, tho. :)

"and" you could make them about any color you want, for what, 2-3$
I might be able to do it. My hands are not that steady. He said it was painted in so it's not the exposed brass of the mod underneath. AND for me it is still the point of it. Don't send customers something they are not expecting to get based on what you have listed on your website. it's just that simple really. I need a nap. lol

Wow a lifetime supply of everything!!!!
Yeah, had to show my UForce tanks some love with the Freemax coils.
The Smok shit is actually for friend of mine.
He went up to my moms place last year and hung 2 new doors.
He wouldn't let me pay him for the labor.
He buys his coils from the local shop for his BBB and V12 Prince and pays like $5 a piece for them.
So i'll surprise him with these.

yeah, i can do it. as long as she doesn't mind it looking like a cavemen with a hammer and chisel did it. and reaally, i doubt that much of anybody could do it, with a Dremel. that shit is just so small and exacting. an engraver would be a much better choice, and even then, idk.

some gold testors model paint would make it look just fine with minimal effort and a far higher degree of success.

I have some very tiny brushes from Dave's D&D mini painting days but he does also have an engraver. Hmmm, well, I will see. Nothing I am going to tackle now. Maybe after my injections Thursday and my hands are hopefully better. Might be something for a rainy day which here in Nevada is kinda rare HA HA

ummmm .

who said it was painted ?
Hmmm, let me go see now if it was Alex from AR or Trevor from UV. brb


Here is one of his notes below it was Alex


Alex (last name blanked out for privacy) (Arkansas eLiquid Co)

Hi Deb,

Trevor told me he was speaking with you. I will look around the shop today and see if I can find a pair of the gold etched rings. I do want to warn that the paint on those original rings was not good, and chipped away fairly easily. Which is why we transitioned to the new version of the mod. I am going to get the picture on the site updated today to reflect the proper item as pictured. I do apologize for the negative experience you had. It was never our intention to mislead anyone.

ok. i thought that maybe someone misinterpreted something and thought that "I" said it was paint. i figured it was laser etched . seems odd it was painted.

you don't need, or even want, tiny brushes. a small one, yes. if i was to do it = clean the rings with soapy water and a toothbrush very lightly. let dry overnight.

Testors enamel model paint. 1 gold and one yellow. test each color on something to see what you have. then, if you need to.
pour a very small amount of gold into a very small container, a beer bottle cap would work. then use a toothpick to add in tiny amounts of yellow. stir well. do this till you get a color you like. brush it on the rings, work it in the engraving. then using paper towels, like the ones from a fast food such mcdonnalds. and wipe off the excess. if you can get some acetone or paint thinner, that much better = very lightly wet the towels after you have most of the excess wiped off.

disclaimer. i do not know what the coating is on the rings. i assume Cerakoat . you should find out first.

My liter of nic arrived from River Supply. Damn!!! That was fast!!! I was a bit surprised as I thought a liter was a lot and it very well may be. I just may order another liter or 2 when I can find it on sale to be on the safe side.

Update on my outstanding 8 Vape order. I received an email from them informing me that the juices I ordered are now out of stock. They offered a refund or order something of comparable value, I chose the refund. Bummed as I wanted to try those juices especially since it was a buy one get one deal.

hmmm, I guess that's a thought. I don't know. I was hoping to match with this rda possibly. Hell, it's not that big of a deal anymore. I have that nice silver rda and the silver rings, plus the pink rda and pink rings too. and no @Jinx'd you can't have the puppy treats LOL
