Hola ..

I would not mind a brief travelogue .. miles made in day, where you stopped, hotel review, what you had to eat .. .. any photos you care to share

Second leg done, despite 500 miles of rain. But no snow, so doable.

OK Although I've just been bombing down the interstate, no pics. (Heck, from what I've seen so far this time, just turn on the shower!)

Left home about 8:30 Monday, takes about an hour to hit I5 just south of Olympia. Then it's haul assets south on the interstate. Goal for the first day is always to get south of the Siskiyou range (Mt Shasta), where I'm most likely to hit snow. So some ways south of Redding. Made it to Willows this time, a bit more than normal (usually I crap out around Corning, so I made it an extra hour this time, about 11 hours on the road.

Slept poorly last night, but that worked out well? On the road again by 6 AM, so got to Needles earlier than norm. About 11 hours. That was I5 south to CA 58, which cuts east to Bakersfield, when it joins US 40. Up over the Tehacipis and Cajon pass, over to Needles. And spend the night here.

Tomorrow, short day, only about another 200 miles to go US 40 over to Topock, AZ, then south on a couple State roads, to I10 and clear sailing to Phoenix. (Actually, Glendale, a major suburb indistinguishable unless you know where the signs are )

Yeah, I could do it in 2 days (well, once upon a time!), but I'd have to wake up my brother when I got there, and probably collapse on the doorstep!

Alexa says….Goodnight. Talk to you tomorrow.

I don’t know. Hope somebody knows.

I mix bases in 1/4 L bottles. I only do 200ml of base in the bottle so there's plenty of room for shaking to get everything mixed up good. Mixing multiples of 100 makes it easy to figure out. 6% in 100mls is 6 mls. So in 200mls it's 12 mls.

Thanks for the info.

Real Mods Elipsium Ultem Koi mech squonk with Real Mods Nisshoku RDA (on the left) is my current favorite. Ennequadro Flexy V2 black aluminum with Real Mods Nisshoku RDTA (on the right) is a close second. Have a hard time putting these down.

Uh, collapsing? Heck of a drive, but at least it was in liquid form. For 500+ miles... along with some dandy cross winds. But tomorrow is the short leg, only about 200 miles



I've had one in my rotation for quite a while, and it started doing the same (or similar.) Guessing it was a battery connection issue, I pulled the o-ring off the battery cap. No problem since. Maybe? IIRC there had been some issues there?

Glad you’re almost there.

The next time I use the Aegis I’ll try that. Thanks.

Personally, I won't have anything charging overnight, especially vape gear...unless I'm awake and right there by it while it's charging.

Your kit should have come with a little user's manual or instruction leaflet. Did you read through it, to see what it says about charging, lights blinking, etc.?

Click to expand...

I sure did. Nada about the light being on or off. Just that it should take one hour to charge.

I was out of nic in the fridge so got one out of the garage freezer. Now I have a problem cause my 60mg nic is gone and now I have 100mg. So now I need someone that's good at math. @hittman @ShowMeTwice or anyone else. OK, here's the problem. I have 100mg nic and I have a 240mg bottle. How much nic do I need to put in the bottle to come out to 6mg when bottle is full (pg/vg)??

This Geekvape Aegis Solo has been driving me nuts every time I use it. Charging a 40w stick to use. Tempted to toss the Aegis but it will probably go back in the box. If I put it down for awhile it screws up and will ask if I have a new coil or old. It does this over and over, every time I pick it up to use.

It’s hard to pick a favorite but this one gets used daily.

I think you have to remember that you are doing them a favor. And with that, I think it's okay to have a preference and a little say in what you're reviewing. If  they want to burn that bridge, then they're losing a good reviewer and potentially anyone that relies on and trusts you for quality reviews. If they want to pay money for a Rip Trippers-like person to promote their products, then they can do that, but I will not be filling that role without proper compensation. I'm not sure what side of the fence you sit on in that regard.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at but I am always trying to be honest and up front on my reviews. I am not paid to do reviews and if I have issues or think something sucks then I’ll say so. At first I turned down disposable reviews several times before finally agreeing to review some for Zovoo and Lost Vape. I’m surprised Zovoo still contacts me since I constantly complain about the menthol in all their flavors. I definitely get tired of pods but Eleaf has sent as many mods as pods. Also, Hellvape and Dovpo even jumped in with pods of their own. I do use pods for work so am not totally against them but feel like companies like Voopoo are just bombarding the market with one after the other.

As a reviewer, I feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place with pods and disposables. When a company you like and have reviewed for a long time asks you to review a disposable or pod do you refuse and burn that bridge? Sometimes I just get a message saying I was sent a new unreleased product and don’t know what it is until I get it. Also sometimes samples arrive with no warning.

I was bad and skipped exercise while my daughter was home but got in a good workout tonight.

I found out both of the review samples I got from Eleaf haven’t been released yet. It’s too late now but guess I shouldn’t have posted about them yet.

I doubt if they will see your post. Besides, you didn’t say anything about them.

Forgot to download firepit pix. Tomorrow.

David made it another year!
