Well I have hearing like a BAT myself, but I don't hear anything... except the click of the fire btn. :D One thing I love about my Achilles is that the full-metal body keeps it from being so loud with all the sizzling sounds. :D


At 85% PG, do the coils even need to be energized? Or does it just evaporate like a Vicks inhaler? Now I understand how you get 2 days battery life. he he he.

10w is all it takes baby. :D And don't forget the 2Ω coils, those help that battery life too. :D

Back in 2014 when I first started, the way I vape was fairly normal, even the 85% PG -- that was MFS' default ratio for their "regular" ejuice. I just never found a reason to change to anything with megawatts or microscopic ohms or thick as honey. My husband and I both like that my vapor is GONE in about 10 seconds flat.

Perfect example, when you see a BM clerk sell someone who wants a strater kit (to start vaping) a hybrid mech with a subtank, and an older style purple Efest battery. Or when they say these are the absolute best batteries on the market, two for 30 dollars for some dull purple Efest batteries. Or when they sell you citrus eliquid with a polycarb tank. Or when they argue that there is no actual Goliath v2, and that it is an RDA and not the name of a tank. Or when they tell you Loaded Glazed Donuts only comes in a 30ml bottle made in China. Or when I ask for Cotton Bacon v2, and am told there is no such thing in existence. Oh, and for god sakes, when you say 'hey, isn't $60 for a Geekvape Tsunami a bit expensive?' Seeing as I bought mine for $19, and they tell me if I buy it online then it most likely a fake, and to trust everything they have is authentic. The list is just exhaustive.

LOL, I actually got that last when they quoted me $90 for a Topbox Platinum kit. Dude, $50, 60 tops, online. You REALLY think they're spending money counterfeiting authenticity stickers that actually pass? Oh, I got lucky? You do realize that online resellers are virtually 100% honest upfront about whether or not it's a clone? Have you EVER even looked online to study your competition? Run profitability projections for increased sales by marking down to an acceptable level (i.e. online pricing + shipping)? Oh, and that's another one, "well you don't have to pay for shipping..." Um, if I order a $60 kit and 2 $10 batteries, I pass just about every site's free shipping threshold, so no, I don't usually pay shipping either.

Haha I purchased my tsunami 24 online. And when I went into a local shop asked about the tsunami 24 they had which the boxes looked fake, there $50. I said wow, pulled out mine from my pocket and said this was $24. I left the shop and will never buy there again. They also offered to sell me Prebuilt coils after I already have my own. $20 for a pair of kenthal 2 inner core, Clapton. Sorry that is just not a good deal at all. God honestly albeit these assholes running these shops make the vape community look bad. There's always these Drug reference removed in there hanging out. Distasteful. Time to find a new place and DIY

My local BM said they weren't allowed to build coils anymore because of the Aug 8 regulations taking effect. I only go in for emergency items that I just cannot wait on through USPS. A great way to get pricing ideas of what you should be spending is myvaporstore. So my car blew up on the interstate today, my tire exploded, and shot my bumper off, but not before ripping it in half. A VDOT worker pulls behind me, makes me move to a safe distance from the lanes, and as I looking at him with tears rolling off my face, eyeliner smeared everywhere, he says 'vape on'.

I actually had to look up what QTH was... This was a few hours ago, I had to hobble to an exit to change out my tire, and tied up what was left of my bumper with a scarf. I thought maybe the VDOT guy would maybe help get my spare off, but he seemed busy so I was too afraid to ask. I am home now, but thanks for asking, that is really nice of you. It looks like the tread of my tire just exploded off of my tire, although I really have no idea what caused it.

Check manufacturer recalls on your tires....

That's exactly what happens with "bargain tires", and they don't always tell you that they're retreads. Friend of mine had an old Bonneville back in the 89s/90s that he had to go "bargain" on. We were driving on the GCP in Queens, NY when all four tires shed their threads at once. Wherever you had your last tire change, go back. And, sad to say this, but bring a man who knows a bit about the legality of retreads with you.

Impossible to tell from text... was this an expression of vaper-solidarity, or his smartassed attempt to blame your blown tire on your vape?

Funny you should mention that because there's a bill in NYS that would make eliquid possession illegal AND the penalty would be higher than than for possession of ********, which is patently ridiculous. Then there's another bill to tax eliquid 40%. What? Completely illegal or State sanctioned product generating State Income? Is anyone daft enough not to see the agenda and hypocrisy?

@Droogbc and @KDodds a response with a drug reference to a request to stop with drug reference is unacceptable.
Seriously? The word is forbidden even in facts-only legislative discussion? Okay, wasn't aware the words themselves were banned, I thought it was only discussion of them that was banned.

I have noticed that 3 out of 5 vaporers (sp) smoke ***. That bothers me. I think that it ruins it for those like my self you have been able to eliminate cigarettes from our life.

Yes, and then again, some of us do a great many things behind the closed doors of our homes which are nobody's biz but our own. Civil Disobedience means doing what you will, that hurts no one, regardless of the asinine laws. "If a law is unjust, a man [or woman!] is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so."

Nah, there's no wonder there at all. Propose a complete ban making eliquid illegal to the point of being "more illegal" than other things, along with another proposal to leave everyone alone and keep things as they are, but tax it. The hope is that advocates concentrate on one and not the other. When/if the tax thing goes through and they still find that they're in the red with regards to their lost tobacco income, the next step will be the same they did with smoking. It is illegal to ship cigarettes into NYS. When they instituted a new tax some years ago, oh, probably a decade, that pushed cigarettes near to $10/pack, I started ordering online at half that. Then USPS insituted a policy not to carry into NYS. No problem, UPS is golden right? Shortly thereafter, NYS made it illegal to ship cigarettes into the state. So, now, if you're a smoker in NY, you either have to pay the tax or buy American cigarette brands made in foreign countries (who don't care what our laws are). Last I tried them, some five years ago or more, they were definitely NOT the same thing.

Like I said, we don't want vapers setting back any of our hard work anyway.

Censorship is fucking lame.

Happened so many times..... It's fucking unbelievable... You can tell when the owners are just in it for the money and nothing else...

One shop I went to the girl was running the shop after 3 days of training on how to use the cash, she didn't vape, she knew nothing at all about the products, I asked for some wire that was in the display case and she immediately said "oh sorry I don't think we carry that" I pointed at it..... The juice selection was pretty hilarious as well... They only carried tobacco variations... Best part... They didn't carry any tanks or rda's that were rebuildable but they had Wire/Cotton/Coil Jigs.....

Just to give a little love to B&Ms the one by my job is pretty cool. And their pricing can be really good. Everyone in there is cool and not pushy and for instance my friend went there today and got a 200w limitless box mod, tfv8 tank kit for 80 bucks plus tax and they threw in a pair of batteries free and 2 50ml of juice free. That's better pricing then buying that off ecig.com

One couple owns the only 3 vape shops in three counties of me. They all carry the same exact thing, they will no longer build coils or put your new mod together for you at two of the stores due to new regs, and the supply is limited to only what the owners like and rather high on some things, but they do have a chick that's both hot and knowledgeable. I'm not sure if I buy stuff In there because I believe in supporting local small business owners or if I just like looking at her (I'm bi, what can I say lol). I do occasionally struggle with their juice selection when I run out early, as I live in Arkansas and online sales of liquid are banned here, but thank the heavens I live very close to state lines and have a P.O box right over the state line lol. I guess our 3 closest shops aren't that bad reading yall's descriptions though. They do actually try to be helpful and know their stuff despite the few shortcomings they have at their stores.
