aaand, they're oos now...
These are awesome. Nothing works better from taking o rings off tanks as well.
Whoops did I just quote an old post? I'm still waking up. Don't mind me ? .
I've been looking at the Druga RTA also. Healthcabin just got the SS in stock for $17.08 with code but it's $10 shipping. Thanks for the FT reminder. I haven't shopped there in a while. I'm getting ready to purge some of my rebuildables for just a few of the newer, old faithful ones.
I also have my eye on the new Profile M RTA. I love the size + mesh and Healthcabin shows it at $18.98 with code but still showing pre-order. FT is double that price and pre-order.
Finally a deal I could live with.
They're $13:99 now with code EDMEPS and they dropped the shipping by 4 dollars and change. $23:71 shipped. I think they finally got the message on the obscene shipping rates they were charging.
This kit ticks a lot of boxes for me, but I wasn't paying 14-15 bucks to ship it from the U.S. warehouse.
Yes you're right. A lot of Chinese sites charge way to much for shipping. Especially from US warehouses, they need to cut that shit off. I got a few of them to get it over $50 so free shipping.Finally a deal I could live with.

That's not only the only attempted trickery going on here with some of the Chinese vendors lately.
You may have seen. The latest is to send an email with an irresistibly low price on something, but when you get there every available color says "+11:99" or some amount of additional cost.
I can't stand that kinda stuff. It's insulting that they think Americans are all stupid or something. If you want my money, just make me an offer and gimme a straight deal so we can interact like a coupla grown ups on equal footing.
Cheap marketing tricks turn me off and make me not want to do business with that company.

This is a single coil RTA?

$20.42 at Fasttech with code: FASTTECH
https://www.fasttech.com/product/9733599-authentic-augvape-druga-rta-rebuildable-tank
It's not saving you a bunch but FT has free shipping options. I pre ordered there along with a nexMESH Pro RBA.
I already had 2 in my cart. Since you frequent there, when they have the sitewide 10% on Christmas would it exclude already marked down prices? I have other things in my cart and may have to break it up if they do. Damn. They raised the price of the SS by $3.00 since last night.

I think holiday codes are for everything. I could be wrong though. I don't think codes are stackable either so you just pick one.. It shows discounts for each item in your cart.
Have any of you been following Eightvape's daily sales for Christmas? I ordered two days in a row, but not today though. Yesterday they had 30% off coils. I got some more Nunchaku mesh coils (the best there is for 50-55W). I also got some mesh coils for the Crown 3 tank that I've never tried. Uwell makes some of the best coils for their tanks. They've mastered the mesh game it seems like.
There's new a new Crown 5 I almost ordered but I'll wait until it comes down on price. They have a dual mesh coil for it that's best at 50-55W. I really want to try those. They got a Valryian 2 Pro coming as well. Valryian 2 tanks and coils gave always been expensive. Most places charge $30 or more for those tanks. Eightvape has them for $23.
I'm a sucker for cheap Smok mods. I ordered 4 of them between Eightvape and Breazy.
***High Alert***
I'm looking for a Prism Blue A-Priv mod. I knew I should've got one last year. They're almost impossible to find now in the US. I see them in the UK sold as kits and places still have the Blue ones. Not sure which places are reliable over there though. If you ever see one, can you let me know please?

Is the V2 a non-mesh tank? Stainless steel wire like the Crown 3??? Pretty pleeze..
The Crown 4 use SS904L wire coils and mesh coils. The Val 2 is all mesh coils I think.
Here ya go. When I find something is hard to get I look at the Google images to see who still has them in stock. There are only 2 left at VC.

Edit- Yay! It went through. Thanks again, again! I would've ordered one last year but I didn't know I could switch colors around on them. I kind of have a collection going on now. I already have a Black and red one taken apart in preparation ? . I hope the people at Orleans vapor company come through for me.

FYI - Fasttech has active pre-orders for the Profile M RTA of 1/9/21. It ships in 2wks. I ordered 2 Drugas with the code Fasttech, too.
Although they have it listed for $37.95, use code MAP and it brings it down to $26.98 shipped.
The Grus is $29.91 shipped with code Fasttech. Also, today is the last day for their 10% off sale.
Hope you all scored something vape related for Christmas.

My Druga RTA from Fastech shipped on the 22nd or 23rd.. I paid $20.42 or something like that with the FASTTECH code. I also got a nexMESH Pro single coil RBA base. Health Cabin sent me the tank to review but didn't send the RBA.
I had a cart going last night but decided to not check out. I'll keep adding to it. I'll wait to see how the slider tops are on the Profile M. I usually try to avoid those. If it's on a railing, it shouldn't be too bad. If it's Freemax-esque, they can keep mine.

I got got a shipping confirmation for my Blue Smok A-Priv! I thought I was gong to have to find one in the UK. @Ms. Trixy to the rescue! I thought it was funny that Orleans vapor is in Memphis.
Wow, I was on Reddit a bit ago. The people and their Smok BS are just ridiculous. They shame people who innocently post their new Smok devices. They act like you should be embarrassed if you buy anything they make "Because it's so horrible". The thread tonight was someone asking for a Smok warning stickies to the side bar. Bunch of people who don't even know what they're talking about. People love to exaggerate I guess.

Yay!
Oh. I meant the Profile M was at $26.98. My Drugas were 20 ea. like you with that code.
I'm shifting toward anything 21700 and RTAs. I'll keep 2-3 RDAs but I'll be selling what I know for a fact I won't use in attys and mods the coming month. Including the only squonk mod I have - the Topside Lite. I don't want to give myself something else to love and spend money on. Time to be practical. This isn't a hobby for me but I do like having my stuff match.
I've talked about this alot. Don't even get me started.
Someone turned me on to a deal at artisan vapor in the u.s. Never used them before, they had the pulse v2 for $19.50 and shipping was like $6-7. Thought well, does shipping increase for more items? So added another pulse. Nope, same shipping. Cool. Then they had the wismec nc 250 for $13.50 so I added that. Shipping disappeared, thought I exceeded the sale items or something and it was rejecting it. Nope, free shipping over $50. So for $52 scored 2x pulse v2's and the nc 250.
Those are great prices. They also have red Smoant Naboo mods for $19.50 and silver Pico S mods for $17.50. I made an order.
I have two Pulse V2's already. They're pretty decent. For that price, it's tempting to get a couple more.
That naboo looks pretty cool, not sure about the touch screen though. Anything I've had with a touch screen makes me homicidal. Never can get it to work, don't know if I have derp thumbs or what. For people that can get them to work looks cool. These pulse's will be my first squonk. Only grabbed 2 cause of the price, normally not one to buy multiples of the same thing. But I've been pleased with the vandy chip. Almost 105k puffs on the swell. I like the sealed chip, don't have to worry about a little rain drizzle if I'm outside or in the case of the squonks, some dripping. Once I seen the free shipping adding the nc 250 to it, for like $6 more knock off the shipping and get an extra mod, I'm game. If the squonks work out ok I'll see about some extra bottles for them.
I got two myself. I've never had a Pico S. One time I seen them as kits for $14.99. I didn't buy any because I'd been spending like crazy. I've always wanted to get one. Artisan only has silver listed so I just got two of those too.
I won a black Smoant Naboo in a contest a couple years ago. They're pretty decent and nice to hold. The up/down buttons need to be unlocked to use them. I usually just set my wattage and lock it. I like using it sometimes. I have to admit though, I like the Cylon better.
That's when I bought my first one. When you posted about that sale. One of my all time favorite mods.
I like the silver. That's the color I got way back then
Another one of my all time favorite mods. In the dual regulated category.
I just checked my email and I got a tracking number! The Pulse V2s are sold out now.
Yea idk what's going on with them. I believe they're sold out at that price. Gal that posted the link mentioned it so I went there. Ordered and all. Today I see mentions of people finding them out of stock, one or two said they'd been refunded and told they were out of stock. The gal who initially posted it (how I found out), they said something about processing her payment then sent an apology they were oos and refunding her.
She submitted her purchase 12-26. I submitted mine 12-27, they were still showing in stock. And I received a message they'd been shipped, but the usps tracking so far only says a label was created (no item in hand). Which not sure what to make of it, if I'll be getting a refund notice as well or if they're actually getting sent. All orders typically begin with creating a label. She never got the shipped notice though. Guess I'll see what happens.
This is incompetence or negligence in data entry and or site administration.
Somebody got a hold of some commerce website software, put up a site, and is winging it as they go about how to use it.
You have to have your inventory properly entered and updated as well as the settings properly setup so that when an item runs out, the site reports it at that time.
There are few better ways to lose customers or turn new ones away than having them order something the site displays as available and then having to tell them. "oops, it's outta stock.Sorry about that."
This can all be avoided by having a competent and conscientious site admin.
I agree though I don't know the whole story. Since it never made it past processing payment for her. But then if it hadn't there'd be no reason to refund. Sometimes I wonder if sites/stores don't work through their orders backwards or something. Not the first time I've seen where someone orders over the weekend and someone who orders closer to the following monday ends up getting their order processed/shipped first. I've had that happen with other things where I've ordered on a friday late or earlier on sat morning and seems like it doesn't get processed and shipped until like tuesday. Meanwhile other things I've ordered on a sunday afternoon or evening get processed right away on a monday as if I'd ordered right then during business hours. Weird. All different stuff, different places.
I agree with all of this. It could also be shady tactics possibly. They lure you in with a crazy deal in hopes that you'll order other items. Then they pull the rug out. That's just a theory and they're probably just negligent. When it happens to me, it sours the whole order a bit. I usually demand they cancel the entire order. I still want the other stuff this time though. I guess we'll see soon enough.
I've wondered about this too. A lot of times I wonder if I post a deal like the one you did, that I might shoot myself in the foot. I have no idea how they fulfill orders but it should be first come first serve. I think the amount someone spends might influence it sometimes.
I just check my tracking and my stuff left Irvine TX and bounced through Coppell so it's on the way. Thanks again for posting.
Well in answer to the uncertainty I had with several people getting refunded on that order from Artisan Vapor.. my 'label has been created' status with usps turned into a shipped package. It's currently in transit, so the order went through and the items are on their way.
@Just Frank I totally agree, should be first come first serve. Unless there's an issue with the payment method or something. I could see that being a delay. But yea people coming along a day later shouldn't be able to bump ahead of the line. Just like stuff on preorder when people buy it ahead of time and often pay a slight premium. Only to find out others who just bought it once it became available are getting their items meanwhile 'pre-order' items are still stuck in limbo. They should get the priority they signed up for.

Kidney puncher wire and coils they make are 40% off for the next 3 days. Discounts appear in the cart so no code. They don't have smaller rolls of 26ga N80. I might buy a 1000 foot roll. I bet that'd last my lifetime. Even if I send some coils to friends, that roll would last several years. I should get it out of the way while a sale is going on.
I use 26 and 28 gauge N80 the most for alien claptons or fraliens. Life's had me really busy so I haven't even played with my wires in a while. I want to get back to it though. I enjoy my spinning sessions.

So does everybody else. That's why they're out
It'll be interesting to see what I actually get in the mail. Ordered 2 of the pulse v2's and a luxotic nc250. Was worried it might get refunded like some people, it shipped and started moving. Watched it move to the last main hub in my state so cool, should be getting it like tomorrow or the day after (holiday). Just today get a notice from paypal, you've been partially refunded. So they waited to inform me I'm not getting my whole order until it's almost at my door? Best I can guess from the price, one of the pulse v2's got refunded. Guess on the bright side the whole mod amount was refunded and they didn't keep part for the shipping. Since it took all 3 mods to get the free shipping. Not sending one of the mods would've resulted in like $7 shipping for just the two of them, I guess they could've been asshole about it and just refunded me part of a mod sans the $7 and kept it for their actual shipping.
I looked in my emails spam folder. Turns out all of my Wet Vapes promotional emails were going in there. They're having a 30% off everything sale right now... I'm very tempted to get stuff I don't need from there. Griffin 25 RTAs are listed at $5.00. That's $3.50 with the sale code: BYE2020
That's incredible. How do you even find these deals?
Oh.... and Happy New Years kids!!! 
I guess I look around a lot. I always organize sections by sorting : Lowest to Highest
Kayfun 5 clones - I have several of the $10 Steam Tribe clones still available on Fasttech and 1 SXK. The steam tribe is just as good as the SXK.
Probably one of the most underrated RTAs, especially in the Kayfun line. Got a bad rap right off the bat because it didn't follow it's predecessors as an MTL vape. But it's a damn good RDL tank: solid, easy to wick, good JFC. Sure, it has some minor faults, but all in all it's one of my favorites, maybe even my favorite.
Sorry, no pic.

You fargin' rock!!
?I got one of the original Griffins awhile back and love it, but the newer one I never found at a price/shipping that I liked. I got two...one of each color for under $15 shipped. Best part is these come with the ceramic block for single coil builds, which I tend to prefer. w00t!!!
And all done just in time for football readiness.
