Oh I hope you can get pics of him!! And with his goodies too.. it's a great thing you're doing for him. I was over checking out the classys.. and then I thought, what are you doing??? There really is nothing I need right now! I've got enough stuff to last for a month, at least! I'm a little irritated with the fluxo's.. I think I need to do some reading cuz I think there's some modifications people are doing to make them work better.. which is what irritates me! It's all so subjective,, I know a lot of people are hating the Vivi, but I just love it. I think Glen likes his too.
It's funny,, I was just reading a thread by a guy that said he always orders stuff based on rave
reviews he sees here, and inevitably when he gets it, he starts finding threads where people hate it!! Geez, me too!!! Those fluxo's got rave
reviews,, until I bought them!
Boy, must have been a tough Monday cuz it's quiet around here.. just us nightowls up
Speaking of which, if I don't go take my little pill I'll be up all night!
I really dislike the majority of the clearos I've tried, the exceptions being the Acorns (using CE2 guts), and the Stardusts - in every other incarnation I either tasted hot plastic (yuck), or they leaked no matter what I tried. The CE3s (smokymizers) were a little better, but still had leaking, and some dry plasticy hits - I could be wrong, but I think the reason I dislike them is because I'm a chain vaper, and they didn't have sufficient time to wick enough juice to keep everything that needed to be wet completely saturated.
Yep, I'm diggin' Vivi. She's definitely a keeper. I do occasionally get just a bit of that "rubber" taste that others are talking about if I take an extended drag and heat the coil too much, but under normal conditions that doesn't happen. I'm sure the issues people are seeing in the review thread will be addressed shortly and the new heads will be made available.
When you say "fluxo", I assume you're talking about the CE2s that everyone has a love-hate relationship with. From what I've been reading, those aren't a out-of-the-box ready type of item, and they require a bit of work to get them to their potential. Even then, they have their issues such as leaking under the right conditions. For those that love them, it's worth the effort and they say it's still the best vape they've had (next to dripping, of course).
Oh well, back to work for me. Vape on!
I think I'll be trying the ViVi based on the raves from you & Luv!
Hey thanks glen! I'm ginna try those LR stardusts, I have no idea if te ones I have are LR or SR.. I really need to pay attention! I've seen those longer wicked ones and been "this close" to trying them. I might have to give em a shot.

Love the family you have going!! I really do think the juice plays a huge part in whether the stardusts are a good choice - for example, I love my SV101 dripped, but don't like it in a carto or tank - it's good in the Stardust! I like my RY4 dripped, but love it in a tank/carto, and dislike it in a stardust. My CantaMelon from Deej is AMAZING in a carto, but meh dripped or in a stardust - I now have it in my REO with a carto on top & am in love again! I'm not finding any real rhyme or reason to why some do better in the stardust than others, but it seems to correlate to whether or not I like them dripped!
The longer wicked stardusts are on my must try list! I'm wondering if there is a way I can replace the wicks in the ones I have on hand - maybe pull the wicks from some of the CE2s I kept for the Acorns & swap them out? May have to try it with my LR stardust since it has a crack starting on it (after almost 2 months of all dark, sweet, chocolate juices, many with mint!) - I won't be completely bummed if I accidentally kill that one
I looked at a really nice one... BIG and on wheels, kinda like a suitcase for vaping supplies... And then my senses returned and I bought the little one

OOOOH! Big suitcase of vaping gear!!!! If I didn't have to keep my total lifting weight below 10lbs, I'd be all over that bad boy!
I'm still really drawn to this:
Amazon.com: Akro-Mils 10764 64-Drawer Plastic Parts Storage Hardware and Craft Cabinet, 20-Inch by 16-Inch by 6-1/2-Inch, Blue/Grey: Home Improvement
I saw it live & in person at the last vape meet, and it is a good deal sturdier than I thought it would be based on the description and reviews, but I'm not sure that I want to give it a place of honor on our dining room wall! I think I'll be filing that idea away for when we find "the" house, and I have a spare bedroom/office/vape room to put it in.
I currently store juices not in the days rotation in 2 blue sterilite boxes from WalMart ($0.96/ea, I have a 3rd for misc & lg bottles of VG/PG and Nic - I think they're shoe box size), with an additional large container reserved for DeejStuff - it's full, so it will be getting it's own sterilite container soon. The juice in rotation is in 2 bowls and a snap-on tray Iron Monkey bought for computer parts but didn't wind up using - I have something like 25 juices, 9 tanks, 4 stardusts, and a variety of atties, drip tips and drip shields on the table next to me... I have the attention span of a gnat when dripping!
New cartos, atties, drip tips, tanks, etc are all in a 5 drawer Sterilite container, which works well, but it's very nearly full. I may just wind up buying another 5 drawer for the co-op buys.
Typing all of that up just reconfirmed my vapaholism, didn't it....
