i forget, FT ? damn,. thats FAST. did you pay for faster shipping ?
mine still says pre-shippment.
3fVape; all were 24hr ship items, and I paid an extra $1.99 for "US Express-Line 1". It was a totally different tracking progress than I've seen with my other 3fVape orders. No "Sorting Centre", went directly to the Air Cargo center in Shenzhen.

I didnt join the list, but I do enjoy twisting the knife

Fasttech is so slow! My 3Fvape order showed up in less than 2 weeks. I'll be shopping there from now on.

I switched a while ago. I had all sorts of "tickets" opened with FT, always got everything but nothing but a pain. And always took forever. Huge fan of 3f over them.

Just some rba thoughts, from a fairly new user, and picky in taste. Kanger rba, ok. Just like rba in the tank, really hard for me to get right, and when I do, just ok. Exocet, I really like everything except the af. That rules it out for me. As it performs well, I have found no way to get the draw I want. Insider, I have yet to wick it right, so total disappoint so far. That said and with Don's advice, I think I can get it, and think I will really like it. Xeta, as you all know I ruined one before a use, and through re-wicking the other, I fear I have already weakened the positive post on it as well. That said, I can't wait to get my third, because with jf screw slightly up, I am absolutely loving the vape. Man, I can't even explain how much I will baby that next one lol. Vapeshell, was really disappointed in the begining (again af), until I was told about Kindbright af plugs. Since I have put that in, this is it for me. Nice tight mtl, no leaking and no dry hits. All you can ask for right? Going to massively depend on your build, imo, but favoring single round wire, I'm gonna say vapeshell for me (with af inserts a must). Anyway, just my thoughts, and keep in mind they could change and usually do ;)

oh, i put the "vape dude" wraps on last night. i'm dig'n em, and i almost didn't buy em. they look much better in hand.
oh, and i would have sent ya more, but i was thinking the reason Rhianne didn't get hers was cause the envelope was over stuffed = i may have over protected them. so for your i went minimal.

Yeah they really do look good, and you sent me plenty, appreciate it. Maybe due to size or weight hers needed extra postage? Idk much about how mail/cost works. I just go to a pac n ship and they charge me whatever they want lol

:cool: . i just started pimping the vape dude. pics later.

i thought that. but they didn't seem oversized, idk. and if they were, they used to send the item back insufficient postage. so.......
and she may have just been full of shit, idk.

@BrewBear these are civivi knives...

I am going to grab one of these lock backs when they become available.

Odds are it will be D2 steel, but also probably under $69

Probably grab one for myself and grab 3-4 others as gifts.

Really sharp looking (pun intended) knives

Does anybody know what the rat black finish is on the SXK units and their panels? Is that black anodizing? Cerakote? Something else?

What's SSPP? Brand? Keeping with this theme, I know the blue are MUMS, what brand are the smoke, or ones with the f and reversed f? Just trying to get all this straight. @BobsHere , do you know what brand the Ultem panels I got from you are. I like that they are kinda rounded vs the Mums and ff ones. Not a big deal reallly to me, just wondering for future purchases ;) Also, is it wrong that I am about ready to trade mods for panels and burro's? :gaah:
Is this the normal progression into the wormhole?

Are we at the mercy of whatever they want to send us for burro's? It's really hard for me to tell. My first BB was an SXK via trade, and I got a black and white one. My second was Authentic Dober from Bobshere, I got a white and Ultem (love that bad boy btw). My third as you know was the Kurbis from BBV, and it came with white. I have to say I was a bit disappointed with that. How could it not come with black? Or, does BB only ship with white new, and Bob bought and included Ultem I'm guessing?

SSPP is Arlo Troy's (@troydestroy) group on FB. He does all kinds of nifty panels and other accessories at great prices, IMO. He has a website too. supersecretshop.com I believe.

The panels with the 2 F's is Friendly Flipper. Personally I think most everything they make is overpriced, but that's just my two cents.

Mums makes nice panels too and pretty reasonable. He just released some new boro tanks too.

Ultem panels and boro are SXK.
Authentic BB only ship with 1 white boro.
Think Shady covered the rest.... (? )

Thanks, still trying to learn and this is helpful. Someone here lead me to Troy for dry plugs, still haven't gotten on that, but need to. No clue what the FF panels are new, but I was ok paying what I did for those and the Mums used from Mykeign, so you guys just keep buying and selling :)

If it is anodized, oven cleaner sure doesn't take it off. I want to chemically remove the black finish on the panels..

I have AC-55 Acid or Synergyx at work. I was thinking about trying this on the standard black panels just to see what happens?
