Today I made an online deal (Reddit) for a used, but mint Paranormal 250C. Excellent price. Not too good to be true, but almost. I really shouldn't have, but I've really wanted one and I doubt I'll ever find one cheaper in that condition. I set a firm limit on what I would spend on one and the guy let me talk him down to that. Should be here next week.

You wouldn't believe how much time I once spent driving deliveries in the Bronx. From Throgs Neck to Riverdale and everything in between.

Yes, I drove deliveries of non pharmaceutical medical supplies out of Nassau county to Suffolk, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Westchester (New Rochelle, Mt. Vernon, Yonkers, White Plains etc), eastern Jersey and all the way up to Hartford on occasion for 5 years.

Edit: One stop very occasionally on Staten Island.

Put a coil and wick in the clone Reload S, put it on the VS Raptor.

Lovely, smooth airflow and good flavor. The Reload, even though it's a clone, is a damn nice bit of gear to have. Love the design of the cap, the way it locks in place makes it super easy to get adjusted like I want it.

Airflow at half open, clouds everywhere.

I forgot to post yesterday. I rewicked 4 RDAs and cleaned another 3. I ordered batteries for mech squonks two days in a row. I would only allow me to put 1 OEM in the basket so settled for that with some 20S' and VTC5D's. Then yesterday Gadget said it was fixed, so I ordered a dozen more.

I like using a Couple of Feedlinks. The way I vape, they draw a lot of power. It will be nice to have more backups.

Got some vape mail from MrMeowgi and SirRichardRear. Cleaned the atomizers from SRR and then vaped my tots off.
Put the Rebirth on the Basium, awesome flavor but meh on the build deck...twisted a set of 26g 3mm id .4 round wire coils for the Rebirth too. The Dead Rabbit rta went on the Vindicator clone tube, perfect just like I figured it would be.
The IPV from MM got a fresh set of 25r’s and was topped with my original Dead Rabbit rta, really digging the color and function of this mod.

I'm finding only good things about the clones sold by knucklehead vapes, though they're a bit more expensive than Fasttech on average. If I knew it was the same clone as could be had for less on Fasttech, I'd get it from Fasttech.

On the other hand, this ol boy is known (or alleged at least) to be an authority of sorts on clones and it's a pretty good bet that one gotten from him would be the best one available. I want a vindicator real bad, but there's no way I can drop for an authentic.

OVERLORD too.

OR, I could just be happy with all the crap I already have.

yeah right :giggle:

See that's just it. If the clone at Fasttech is the same one or just as good as the one at Knuckleheads, then it's a no brainer to pay 45% less. If it's a piece of garbage, it's not even worth 18 bucks.

I have high confidence that the knucklehead clones are good, but they're a lot more though a fraction of the cost of an authentic.

I need to remind myself that there really are more important things in life to worry about. :wait:

I have that same problem. this hobby is a drug in and of itself.

FWIW, the one that said "arriving late" is now saying on time for Monday, so no worries. :)

Far be it from me to be a joy kill, but if my recent history is any indication, I wouldn't bet the bank on it until it's in your hand.

Maybe, but looks pretty simple from here. Most problems are on the East side of the country, usually.

Built my second Triton RTA. Doing old-school stuff today.

Have been gradually transitioning all atties to rebuildables, but then, there were my Geekvape Illusion Mini tanks and my Triton. Sigh. Found the Triton RTA kits at Eightvape for 99 cents, so I ordered three to try (Illusion Mini uses Atlantis-style coils and does not need top threads).

Have built two of the three and they work beautifully, although I do have to say that flavor isn't quite what I've become used to since moving to rebuildables. They're just a little muted, but tolerable. I'll probably use mostly stronger flavors in them, cinnamons and fruits, and the difference I hope will be negligible.

@Just Frank @Countrypami don't you have Triton and/or GV Illusion Mini tanks? You might want to try one of these RTA kits while Eightvape has them cheap!

Also, I just reamed out my cheap Veritas clone RDA to 3/32" (2.4mm) using a conical diamond bit and my rotary tool. Handheld it with a thick leather work glove against the 3/4" thick built-in plywood cutting board with some paper under it, worked out pretty well.

I didn't wreck the glossy black finish one bit. (pun intended)

Much better now. :D

Cleaned out my tank and put in a new coil. Still have 3 bottles of the 6mg in different flavors that I was going to get rid of to a person at work, but sadly they still seem to have an affection for the stinkies, so I opened one up to begin the disposal process lol. Not really a fan of this Nector of the Gods, but it is better than that last one I tried, albeit not by much. For the last couple of days I've been using my new Polar unit at 35 watts and it seems to be easier on the juice consumption so I switched the tank over to the vape pen which burns through juice to get rid of this stuff quicker.

Troy is about 20 or 25 minutes from here. I know they're in the neighborhood up there and it REALLY bums me out that they won't let me come and pick up orders.

Do they have a B&M too? If so, I'd think they'd want the extra business, eh?
If they are Internet-only, then it kinda makes sense.

Internet only, but what would be the crime in handing locals an order instead of sending it?

Well, they'd lose money on not shipping. ;-)
Unless a biz does 'ship to store', I don't know of any that'll just let ya walk up and get stuff bought online.

I have a Lowes a couple blocks over, but they don't stock for shit. And, most items from the website can't be picked up there.

I wanted to place the order online and then drive up there and get it when it was ready.

That would be handy for locals, ya. :)

At least, Troy isn't a high crime area like most these days. :rolleyes:

I saw a smoke alarm on Lowe's site I wanted since I thought I could buy online and pickup and/or just go there and buy it. Site SAID they had one, they were wrong. I walked like 6 blocks there and back for nothing.

So, I bought the fucker on AMZ for $2 less and shipped free in two days to my door.
Sorry Lowes, you suck.

I don't know what prostar is, but I had one "out for delivery" all day a few weeks ago and I got it two days later.
