I received hands down the best vape mail I've ever gotten. Two members of this here little vape world sent me care packages to help out while I'm out of work and on the mend from upcoming shoulder surgery. Thank you! @gadget! and @debinnv y'all are classy, amazing people. I'm ever so grateful and humbled.

That is amazing! Good on @gadget! and @debinnv but also good on you, @DonBaldy , for being such a nice guy who is now in a bad spot.
I'm sorry I did not know you were injured. Hope everything goes perfectly with your surgery and you are all healed up and back to normal very soon.

Lets not forget this beauty that @DonBaldy sent to me...........Just cuz he's a stand up guy. It's so hard to find non hybrid mech mods and he knew I was looking for one.
Yes, I do still use the one I got from @bx10r and there are some I got from @gadget! too. But I do still get a bit nervous
I'm getting there but it is so lovely to have this and I didn't have copper anyway. I might try some hydro dip on this to see how it comes out! Not sure if it will stick to this surface but it won't hurt it if I need to remove it either.

Hit up jwill about surface prep. He's the master when it comes to coating metal.
Forced patina. Videos on YouTube for help. It's super easy though. Ammonia, sea salt, a small Tupperware thing to do it all. You can also use mustard to keep the copper or possibly go red and yellow. Ammonia and salt will go blue and green. Here's a pic of mine. Had a 26650 smpl mech that I gave to a friend. The little one in the pic is the next I'm gonna do. When you get it like you want, just clear coat spray it to keep from going any further with patina. And get rid of the penny smell.Lets not forget this beauty that @DonBaldy sent to me...........Just cuz he's a stand up guy.

Man I swear if I met any nicer people than here, my head would explode. The camaraderie here is amazing. And good luck with your surgery. Hopefully you'll be throwing fastballs like a champ before too long.I received hands down the best vape mail I've ever gotten.

Crazy chef did the two on the right. I did the one on the left and another I gave away. Was mainly showing for reference of looks. But thank you. It's actually kind fun to watch it change as you fume it. If you do go this route make sure to put vasoline or something on the threads to keep them clean.
Wow they look great!Forced patina. Videos on YouTube for help. It's super easy though. Ammonia, sea salt, a small Tupperware thing to do it all.

Thank you. I slipped in the shower a couple of weeks ago and fell out of the tub and landed over the edge of the tub and onto my side. Tore the rotator cuff and bicep tendon.
Hell I couldn't throw fastballs before getting broken. If I could maybe I could afford some of the shit yall have. Fortunately I'm a righty and it's the left that messed up.
Well good luck all the same.
Thank you kind sir.Well good luck all the same.
Ouch
oh my goodness!
What comes around goes around
I made a trade with you about a year ago and when I recieved the package there was a complete other mod included, box, spare parts and all!
I still have the Slim Piece and use it regularly.

Can we see the drip tips all set up, Rob? You always have gorgeous matchy rigs.

Plus their prices are great for authentic cells, and they ship right away! I just got my first order from them and they’re really good 3000mah LG HG2’s —and they were like $5-6 a piece.
The reviews on their site are pretty excellent, too. It helps to have other vapers’ opinions about batteries, instead of people who use them for flashlights or other things.

How do you like the 5AM WTAs? I didn’t like that juice when I first bought it and then broke it out about three weeks later and it was pretty nice. I started really liking the smoky flavor.
Nice care package! Hope you heal up fast!

But I have to agree about the kindness and friendliness here, and about the surgery healing up perfectly!

Nice man! You just get that?Slim piece for Monday. Can't believe how small it is(not what she said). With the goon25...omg.im in love

I used micromesh sanding pads (found on Amazon), I started with the coarsest 1500 grit pad and worked down to the finest 12000 grit. Then I polished it with Renaissance Wax Polish.
I tried to link it here but Tapatalk tries to insert the link as media, just search Amazon for "Micromesh Sanding Pads"

I gotta tell ya. The quality on this SXK mod is better than I thought. I've never held an authentic, but this doesn't look or feel like what you would think of when you hear the word "clone." Clean and solid.
Yeah, there is endless crap available just begging you to try it.
That's one way of spinning it.
Thanks! I'm not in a position to buy one right now. It worked out well for both us.Nice! You finally got the BB you wanted
Just what I needed lol

Sorry to hear about that for sure, but awesome of these guys to get you hooked up like this. 
Yea they already didn't have a huge selection. For a juice co their hardware was decent, now that they're going in a different direction cutting back on hardware and focusing on the vuze pens, it's gotten worse. Their customer service is usually pretty good, I've run into a few dweebs I wouldn't let pump my gas. Never relied on them for hardware though, they have like one or two batteries to choose from, a little tin of janky chinese coils, overpriced cotton pads. Really phoned it in on a lot of stuff that I imagine they could have sold well if they actually carried stock. Not like that stuff takes up a ton of room in storage.There are too many good places to do business. No need to mess with someone who won't help when you have a problem. Pissing up a tree is pretty darn difficult for us ladies.Gravity doesn't cooperate, if you get my -uh- drift...
I wish VapeWild had more hardware and better prices on it. Their customer service is stellar, and everyone I've talked to there is just so nice!
They ask stuff like 'what would you guys like to see more of' and lots of people are like 'rebuildable coils'. They come back with fun-kee-vape chinese bullshit probably made in a paperclip factory. Like ugh, yea, not what people meant. Lowest common denominator products, why bother.

GV Nova and iJoy Captain Elite showed up last night, plus a black-and-grey swirly acrylic drip tip for the X-Baby that I'm currently not using. No idea where I lost the damn drip tip.
Brought the Nova with me this morning for my drive to work, with an Intake on it, Nutella Crunch juice. It's a very nice vape. Nova is a little edgy and big for my hands, but at this point I've just resigned myself to getting used to whatever. @Bigrick says the Nova has the same chip as the Aegis Legend, and if that's the case, then I'll get used to it. Wonder if I need to upgrade the firmware? Haven't tried TC yet.

I am really impressed with 2fdeal.com my last 2 orders arrived quickly and this was a preorder slated for August 8th but shipped way before.Ulton 1:1 of Atmizoo Tripod Rta with 3.5ml extension kit. I haven’t used it yet. Just received but the quality is amazing & based on Youtube vid from Todd this looks bang on.
I picked up a Nova kit and am pleased with it. I've read the chip is the same as the Legend also but not sure it is. Menu and actions are the same but firmware versions and dates are different (Legend is V1.2 2018 0710, Nova is V1.0 2018 0705A) which I believe are current for each.
I have to say the Cerberus tank with the Nova isn't half bad either if you do subohms.

I just got a tracking update that the OBS Cube I bought is out for delivery. I love the mod, but am not crazy about the Damo tank it comes with. But I’ll give it a try again. That mod is excellent, even with an internal battery. 
Now I have doubles of everything I love, except the Aegis Solo. But it’ll have to wait. I still have to pay estimated tax and am late!

Thanks Gadget! I ordered both those items Friday. The micro mesh on eBay & the Renaissance Wax Polish from Amazon.
It really bought out the shine! Did you move quickly between each size or did you spend some time on each?
full stab Paranormal.
it still needs some work=sanding a little more, and/or, fixing the messed up finish I put on it (you can't see it, I hid it in these pics).
I'm not totally happy with it, as the side panels do not match the round panel well. oh-well, I know what i did wrong and I ain't doing it all over again just for that.
but one thing that can be said,
it's very original. if anyone ever see's another full stab Para, can you
nice

vape mail yesterday from two wonderful guys. Trade with @MrMeowgi and the Luna I bought from @gadget! Naturally they BOTH tossed in some wonderful extra goodies for me. The sweethearts they both are. Thank you so much. I love them.
Had a few new flavors from Bull city come in also
Luna close up

Since I came to the epiphany of "ya know what man, you've got enough gear", this is my first vapemail since the middle of May and so the vaping adventure continues with new eliquid vendors.
@Countrypami has a great spreadsheet for vendors. If you're looking for gear and liquids, you should start there. Some of the vendors even have VU discounts.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...vlGNUVM0sM3ucgHWq1d/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true
I referred to the list back in May and got a good deal from
https://www.omvapors.com/.
For this round I chose Ejuices.com who has more options than you could shake a stick at.
360 mls for $36 AND I got free shipping.
Thanks CP
Wow, I have that pudding base in a cart at Liquid Barn. Nice package, Deb.
