Goood Morning!
According to my daily dose of USPS email 3 packages are arriving today. I'm hoping 2 are mine. Chuck has been waiting for a package from China that is just hang out in FL. Then it goes to say Oklahoma then back to Florida. I think it's beyond testing his nerves now.
I'm still window shopping. Need 4 RTAs, replacement coils and a AIO so I can use all of my sample nic salts and BDC coils. Luckily I already have BVC coils for the nautilus I traded for.
Hmmm. Looks like a pair of short from a back-order, Element Vape and something from Lexington KY. Tomorrow shows 2 parcels.
Thank got I'm not ordering mods and tanks!

yeah, those are nice. how are liking the finish ? what coils ?
The finish isn't bad. I did swap the drip tip and removed a magnet. The throw was way too stiff. I will say, for a mod that uses 21700 and lower, I am kind of worried. I placed the RDA on it, then placed the battery in, and crushed the positive pole on the battery.
As for coils, just some 22g 8 wrap 3.5mm 316...
Vapes nice, a bit wary of the copper top cap though.

if you could change it (not the colors) what would you want ?

One item of vape mail today, it packs a big punch. Blitz Intrepid from the cheap-o section at VapeNW, $13.99 I believe.
It's a flavor monster. I put two 3mm 26/38 SS Claptons in it, about 8 wraps, ohms at 0.6 for the pair, I packed it full of CB2, and now vaping grape bubblegum at 47.5W. Wow. It is amazing! Worth way more than I paid. Wicking well, smooth airflow, and the flavor is spot-on.
The only drawback I see so far is the damn drip tip. It has one of those slide-over deals like the original Freemax Fireluke, but the fact that it comes with three of the sleeves does help offset that negative somewhat. It has black, ultem, and a nice dark purple resin, so I won't gripe too much about it. Looks great on the iJoy Avenger I got within the last week or two.

No it didn't come with the red and black dt... That was a spare from my BONZA RDA.

Either black with red splatter or jet black! Lol
I'd probably like to swap the magnets out for that medium spring instead. Don't get me wrong, I love magnetic switches, but this one is a bit overkill imo.

" Hello iJoy"
Wet Vapes sale- I bought both of these Avengers for $16.50 each shipped batteries are included.

The Intrepid is very good indeed. I got mine like a year and a half ago. It was recognized when it was new as one of the best flavor RTAs around. I don't know what possesses a company to do a drip tip setup that way though
Not a deal breaker but pretty dumb. My colored one is purple resin swirl with white and blue I think. I've been running it on the Lyra recently.

That looks really good on the Lyra. I've wished a hundred times I'd bought one of the Modefined mods while they were around (but if I'm not mistaken, Wetvapes does have the Lyra onhand, at least they did last time I looked, of course now that I've had to crank down on spending). I liked the looks of the Lyra the best of any of their mods.

It doesn't use a standard drip tip, just a sleeve-type thing. Comes with three different sleeves. You can see it in this pic:

LOL! We chose the same picture! Oh jeez that just kills me!
thats is what i thought i saw. i can only speculate as to why. but i bet profit had a lot to do with it.
Excellent regulated mod. I think I paid 25 for that one, but I don't remember where now. I'll tell ya what. There are a whole lotta great older gems sitting around in clearance sections. In shops too. I am not addicted to the newer is necessarily better mindset. Some of my very favorite stuff is pretty old by today's standards. The og Goon for example way more than holds it's own among RDAs in it's class still today.

I totally agree with that. Most of my stuff has come from clearance sections. I've recently bought those few Smok RTAs that are pretty old, but I still think the TF-RTA is a beast, even the G2 deck. Doesn't look "modern" but it sure is a good vape. Think @Just Frank agrees with this, too.
Great minds?

Thanks for the heads up. The + for me is I could use a couple more big batteries and was thinking P42A but these 20700 will work fine for regulated in a diff mod and I can split a marriage of 40T if I want for single reg/mech. The mod will most likely get stashed. Love the free 2-3 day ship @ $30.

Awesome!
I did the same thing- I bought these for mainly the batteries, I have some mods that take the 20700 batteries- like getting the mods for free! Actually the mods look really nice- even the box that these come in is nice too,not cheapy cardboard.
I also thought these mods would be great for the higher wattage sub tanks that I have.
What RTA did you get?
What color Avenger did you get?

Nice!
I have the Kylin minis too- really nice RTAs I got for a great price at another sale somewhere, I bought 3 of them.
I think you will really like the Avenger and the included 20700 batteries , I was pleasantly surprised- plus you can turn the light show off.
Vape mail!
I got the Double Barrel from @Ms. Trixy in the hardware section and the Rig I scored on thevapetrader.

I'll go one further. Not just older stuff, but less popular stuff too.
The Unicorn RDA would be a good one in this category. I knew they existed, but never saw them talked about or in handchecks or anything just about ever.
Arkansas puts them on sale for 5 bucks and who can resist virtually any atomizer for 5 bucks right? I get the thing in my hand and I'm like, "Wait a minute. This looks like a first rate RDA right here." Got it built and it turns out... it IS a first rate RDA.
Like fantastically good and they got practically no attention. Not that I saw anyway.
Great bargain beater
I have a black TF-RTA if you want a back up!
I've got a SS and Rainbow, too. Really like them. I'm on the hunt for a bargain Black one.
Hot Damn! My Kylin Mini is pumpin' out some great flavor and vapor today!
Got vape mail today, but nothing worth sharing. Coils, wire, wick and a great AIO deal on the Mercury thanks to Nada.
I've got 2 RTAs coming; EHPRO Kelfie and OFRF Gear. Not much of a deal but I'm really looking forward to a massive build and flavor.
Grimm loves the Gear. Good review. @Pastorfuzz told me about the Kelfie.

I finally got my giant FT order from back in early February! I really wanted to share pics, but it's all in coronavirus quarantine for the next 48 hours or so in the garage, so I can't even play with it yet. So really, I guess it's more like torture than a good thing that it finally got here...
Hey, that's a great idea, 48hr quarantine. Is that for everything or stuff you order from China. Seriously, great idea. I'm expecting 2 parcels of goodies from China. Mice to meet you G and C!
Pleasure to meet you as well! Originally it was only packages from China, but these days, it's pretty much everything. They all get a quick spray down with the Lysol and into the corner of the garage with the rest of the Amazon boxes it goes.
I tend not to worry too much about what's in the package, mostly because it was literally shipped a month and three weeks ago. I don't think anything that was in that package is still living now. We're just doing what we can to keep ourselves as safe as possible, and sometimes it's just about what makes us feel safer.

aaahhhh so you got the D-Barrel. I was looking at that one several times! Nice score
Magnets arrived yesterday. A little disappointed that the big magnet doesn't fix in the MMXX. Oh well, just have to order a second set of magnets then. Either that or get the diameter and order from a specialized shop since vendors seem to be running out of "Purge Magnets". I am running 3 magnets in my MMXX and the throw is pretty sweet. I still have my silver spring as a backup though just in case another mishap should follow.
Now all we're doing is waiting for 14 bottles of juice and my 6 Samsung 30T's to show up...

I'm expecting a package from upstate NY today. Don't know whether to fog it for cooties and leave it in the yard or what.
May just spray the box with Lysol and leave it on the porch for an hour, then use alcohol to wipe down everything I take out of it.
No telling what else it's touched or who has handled it on its way here. Not sure what I was thinking, ordering more kit anyway.
Edited to Add text from my post in another thread:
IS THIS TRUE? New York Senate passed a flavor ban effective July 1? Going to Google.
ETA: All I'm finding on Google is from last Nov/Dec, when NYC banned flavors effective July 1. I do see where the state ban is in the NY budget bill.
This came in an e-mail from thezfo.com early this morning. They are located in New York state. I bet the state senate in NY has passed the bill for a statewide ban.
This bill apparently bans menthol, too.
I'm not in New York, just thinking about this as it relates to other members here.

Speaking of which, did you notice the Kanger bundle that shawn.hoefer has in the Hardware thread? Just fyi if you haven't seen it; it's kinda buried down in his large FS thread.
I finally got an emergency call for a job yesterday!!! Yes, that is an event in this season of covid19 everywhere. First job in a month. We were able to do it outside as it was this person's work laptop.
Anyway, I ordered a 24mm brass og Goon from 3F because who knows how long we'll be able to get anything from over there and I really wanted one for my Overlord. I won't be worrying about any stowaway pathogens when it arrives. Well, I might wipe the package down with alcohol or something just because.
