As its quite old now I wondered if anyone had one of the original Kraken genesis tanks kicking around collecting dust that theyd consider selling on or trading (dont have much gear but you never know we could find something to trade)
I'd prefer it with the box, but if not then dont worry.
If you do please let me know & perhaps we can work something out
Must be authentic !!

I'm not going to tell you what you should & shouldnt believe, thats entirely up to you, but the last people you want to believe are the media & esp the corrupt BBC ! I would have thought you'd known that from all the missinformation they & other media corporations have published about vaping !
I have an advantage of getting info about the war on drugs from the people living there, I personally value their opinion 100x's more than any story printed in the media, im quite aware that youre entitled to believe what you want & have youre own opinion on whats happening, but im sure you agree that only a tiny percentage of what the media do say is the truth as they adjust it & twist it to make a better story.
As for vaping, the last time I spoke to them via skype I was asking about e-cigs to try & find out if it would benifet me sending money over for them to buy stuff & post it to me, but it turned out to work out the same & in some cases even more expensive, I also had my mod with me when I was chatting to them, they knew exactley what it was.....personally I'd have no problem vaping in the philipines....you dont put a weapon up to your mouth & blow out vapour so I wouldnt have thought theyd confuse it for something else.

You'd be fine, they do know what e-cigs are....they'd know your not from the philipines & just see you as a rich person...lol....which may or may not be a good thing, but as long as your bigger they usually leave you alone...lol go over there with someone thats 6ft tall....see how much you get stared at then...lol I am more concerned about their latest drug enforcement, I am not sure that everyone who has a gun knows what an e-cig is, and being western may not keep you safe:- www.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/19/daughter-of-late-british-peer-killed-in-philippines-drug-warI take anything the media say with a dose of salt, but reading that it says.....A dual British-Filipino citizen, Maria Moynihan was also accused of involvement in the narcotics business. She had been on bail following charges of possession of illegal drugs in 2013 You know as well as I do matey, there will be more to it than what that paper has printed. Its not really got anything to do with e-cigs ! So I'm guessing aslong as you dont get involved with the drugs trade you should be ok to vape ;-) |

Not sure I would want to openly vape in the Philippines just in case anyone thought it was something else. Just my opinion. You'd be fine, they do know what e-cigs are....they'd know your not from the philipines & just see you as a rich person...lol....which may or may not be a good thing, but as long as your bigger they usually leave you alone...lol go over there with someone thats 6ft tall....see how much you get stared at then...lol |

Cigarettes are dirt cheap over there so that removes one motivating factor for Vaping. I'm afraid not, theyre only cheap to us, they certainly arent cheap for most filipino's, which is why you see people on the streets selling them singularly....but like you say things are improving, wages getting better & alot more can afford to buy a whole packet now, which I guess isnt really a good thing..lol ghostrider1971 Part of the problem is that the government has been very corrupt for decades, taking payments from tobacco companies....just like theyve been taking payments from drug king pins & that corruption goes from the police force right up to all the previous presidents. The price of e-cig stuff is not much different to what youll pay from chinese companies, which for people in the philipines is crazy prices & still 20+ times cheaper to smoke cigarettes....& that is the reason why you wont see hardly any people using ecigs or see many egic shops....its just too expensive for the majority of people living there, but like HaroldTheBarrel has said, things are improving......go to the big citys where the wages are slightly higher & there should be some there. I'm hoping this new president will be left alone by the western media, I'm glad drug dealers are being shot on sight, when you see the drugs theyre pushing (and we're not talking cocaine or weed, we're talking about drugs made from battery acid) and the damage its causing to people & families & the amount of crime its creating....it needs to be stopped & the only way to do it is to be ruthless. I only know all this because my step mum is from the philipines & she obviously has family living there & regularly has skype chats with them. |

I get mine from Efun.top & never had any issues, infact the one I'm using now is already 2 weeks old & still going, did the ones you bought not come with a scratch code ?
The RBA coil is good & easy to coil, (i'd take a pic for you if I hadnt broken my phone!) it comes with coils already pre-installed & you just have to wick it, although I would recommend getting the bigger 5ml glass as its not little & will reduce the amount of juice in the tank dramatically !
give coil making a bash, one you get the hang of it, its childs play & youll wonder why you didnt try it sooner ;-)

Sorry peeps, I didnt post it to promote doom & gloom, but alot of stuff that I've read about quitting kinda implied that after a year or so the damage youd done to your body from smoking was virtually reversed & i'd never seen anything that said it affected our DNA !
I kinda saw it as a slightly positive thing too, I'm hoping it will encourage more people to give up & maybe even stop some from even starting in the first place
