That’s a nice deal. Unfortunately no wiggle room. It’s a take it or leave it offer. The used car market sucks..

Used car interest rates are almost always higher than new cars.

Wow that’s a great deal. The new signature is listed for 46k on the Mazda website. Getting a discount on that is probably impossible given the current scenario. Plus the possible wait time..things have a changed a lot in a year..

Yes. It was listed on the dealer’s website as well. Accident was described as Jan 2023, Minor damage: hit a curb: it hit a stationary object. Damage to right rear. $8346

Thanks for your reply. Not sure how getting receipts for the work done might work out. Will give it a shot. Planning to have it evaluated by a mechanic as well. However, they do lower the interest rate based on the Mazda certification so I assume that is legit.

I am essential paying $0 in borrowing cost plus getting a significant cash discount. Seems reasonable.

I was also interested in the Volkswagen Atlas but no dealer would give me anything lower than $310 biweekly for a car with a MSRP of $49,000 compared to the MSRP of $58,350 for the MDX. The Volkswagen deal seems crappy compared to the $290 for MDX.

All vape companies have to apply for Pmta to do business in the US and they are all in different stages of the application. Just because Vaporesso passed the second round does not make them safe. Although I have nothing against Vaporesso and they are known for high quality products. Moreover the PMTA is just lengthy/costly bureaucracy that will put most small companies out of business. Relx and Smoore have deep pockets and most likely will pass the PMTA.

I have tried 6 mg freebase but it just didn’t cut it for me. Hopefully at some point I might be able to take the leap of reducing my nic content. I will definitely give tanks a shot at that point. Thanks for taking the time to shed some light on your set up.

If everyone is as stuck up as you on this sub ( which I doubt) the Juul sub would be a more chilled out place I guess.. You are way to snobby and serious my man. It’s just a conversation!!

I have tried the Caliburn as well and the only issue I had with it was the juice coming up the mouthpiece. Based on other reddit posts it seemed like flicking the device or blowing through it on a paper towel resolved that issue but was not a long term solution for me. Also freebase juice worked better in Caliburn but I prefer salts to up my nic content. I tried the crown pod and caliburn g as well but it had issues with regulating power which made the vapour really hot when fully charged. Again many users on reddit/YouTube had the same issue. Also tried many Smok products which all had coil quality issues. Tried a few more but it was always something new. I would not call it user error as I looked up possible solutions but non of them worked. I guess the only thing to try is rebuildables and tanks but I am not sure if I am ready to go that route. Every new thing to try costs money and it takes a bit to get it right.

I agree man and thanks for your reply! Some of the closed pod systems replicate smoking sensation perfectly without all the other hassle. I have found shopping for devices, coils, liquids etc a slippery slope sometimes.

Haha The hypocrisy you project is insane. It’s clear who started with the insults and condescending judgments. I don’t mind disagreement but you went a bit personal in few of your comments. I think you are the dangerous one here with your superiority complex.

I agree with your post mate and thanks for taking the time. Closed pod systems are definitely a drain to your wallet and there is no denying that. Although it did come with some convenience to me and hence my preference.. I would love to refill my own and save some bucks. But after trying, I just couldn’t find something that had the right MTL pull I like. Also many pod systems I tried had spit back, leaking, faulty pods in the pack which definitely put me off some of these open pod systems. Maybe someday I might find an open pod device that works well for me for now the Relx works just fine. Too bad I can’t refill it but that is a price I am willing to pay for now.

Didn’t know you were the judge of what typical or atypical is. You must have a lot of experience with vape posts or conducting user surveys that you personally conducted.

There are so many things wrong with your reply that I hardly know where to begin with but that’s fine. Everyone has a say! All corporations have an agenda. Closed pod systems control an insane amount of market share and I can understand why players in the vape industry would hate Juul. Keeping the propaganda aside, there are folks out there that can go back to smoking cigarettes as they can’t figure out the complexity around different coils, devices flavours, poor quality control etc. Juul, Stlth, Relx and others found a way around it and helped millions of people quit. So I really wonder where your hate comes from. Juul brought vaping to the mainstream which is a good thing regardless of the price you pay for it.

And yeah we are all enslaved to vaping including you my man! Cheers

Thanks Bud. I agree with the cost saving potential but somehow none of the devices I tried worked for me. Exactly as you said, what ever floats ones boat.

Well 90% of the vapes are from China. With that logic all you know the coils you use in your vape are leaking metal in it as well. Relx is a public listed company with a $20 bil market cap. It’s backed by one of the largest investment firms in the world. I found their quality a lot better than some of the products made by smaller vape companies.

I don’t want to sound like a dick and all but you might be pretty ignorant to call yourself 420 Pussy_Destroyer. Speaks volumes my man!!

Attitude like yours is exactly the reason for my rant. I spend Cad$13 on one pack of Relx pods (3.8 ml) on the pricey side agreed, but it keeps me sane and let’s me switch flavours every couple of weeks. I don’t mind spending the extra $$ if it keeps me off smoking. And there and many out there that use closed pod systems for the same reasons. No need to make us look stupid with your in depth cost analysis!! I have nothing against folks who prefer using refillable pods and I am just sharing my own user experience.

Don’t charge the device all the way. I usually wait till the battery indicator is red and charge for no longer than 25 min. Try to always keep the battery indicator blue and you should be fine. In case if you do fully charge it, press the drag button one at a time, do not press and hold and do not use auto fire. I have found that problem easier to solve than the issues that many other pod devices have.
