    Hey, guys, I'm here, and not dead yet, and not lost - sorta. Thanks for thinking of me. :) And the dogster is no worse so far. Hanging in there. I just changed my schedule. Have a lot of medical stuff to take care of, so I'll be mostly absent during the day from now on - but I'll be...

    Funny stardust review by Phil Busardo

    Oh, I know what this is. Heh-heh... Is it going straight into the wild, or are you going to Alpha it first?

    Reviewing and Taste Buds

    Wine gives me a headache... :( Vodka, on the other hand... :party: But writing a review with vodka in me - I just don't know. Doesn't really sound like a good idea - vodka shuts down my taste buds to everything but herring, it seems.

    Funny stardust review by Phil Busardo

    I think it was a new Stardust... I was never sure about the filtering theory that some folks propose - because I don't feel any difference in the flavor. And it only happens in Stardusts. Magic, I say. LOL

    Funny stardust review by Phil Busardo

    Yeah, me too. Now. When I first came to the world of the clearos, I vaped vertically. I had that habit from the time I used the little 510 with an atomizer and a tiny fillered cart. The wicking on those things was not so good, so I held it vertical to assist the procedure. (Incidentally...

    Funny stardust review by Phil Busardo

    Yeah, and I still don't get why that happens. I filled one with Boba's a week ago - haven't vaped it at all, forgot about it. Now the juice is black. Still tastes the same... This is just weird. I don't toss the juice when this happens. I just vape it if it tastes the same. IDK if it bad...

    Reviewing and Taste Buds

    Well, my taste buds are back. No more fish. I drink Coke 0 when I vape a lot. Seems to work fine. :D

    Mountain Oak Vapors - Premium Tennessee E-Liquid

    Now that my taste buds are back, thankfully, the flavor isn't going away all that much. It is delicate, true, but very, very good. Love cheesecake. All kinds of cheesecake. :D

    VERSION 2.5 Vision ViVi Nova Is IN STOCK Now, VIVI NOVA Review Thread

    Well, as long as the liquid is below the juncture of the post and the head, you can change the head "on the fly". Just take tha hat off the head, and unscrew the head using wick slots for either a screwdriver, or, as I did, a fingernail. Repeat the procedure backwards with the new head. Just...

    Yeah, cleaning it is probably a good idea. Someone found some little bits and pieces in it or something... There are no loose wicks in this one, thankfully. :D

    VERSION 2.5 Vision ViVi Nova Is IN STOCK Now, VIVI NOVA Review Thread

    OK, no prob. See how the little metal doohickey is completely flat on one side? Put it into the rubbery "hat" so that that flat side points towards the open end. When you put it back onto the post with the coil, it will end up face-down. Don't worry about it squishing all the way to the...

    VERSION 2.5 Vision ViVi Nova Is IN STOCK Now, VIVI NOVA Review Thread

    If you want to cut the wicks, cut so they are just touching the walls of the tank, or a little longer. As for your "dogged" head - it sounds like it should be fine. It's the white rubbery "hat" that came off, right? And the little metal doohickey inside it that fell out?

    Funny stardust review by Phil Busardo

    LOL The beginning was kinda funny... This, of course, is coming from a person who really liked v1 best, and hopes like heck they don't do away with short wicks. I suppose wicks on a Stardust could be cut - but it would require some determined fishing, I think. He does have a point about...

    I just wanted to say thank you, guys... I went away, and had myself a good cry, and now I am just focusing on the moment. For now we are still ok. Myst can still walk. And it's not like she is in pain, and there are things to help, like doggie wheelchairs... For awhile. And not yet. Not...

    I don't really think you need to know anything much... It works right out of the box even with straight VG like Boba's. For most folks, the flavor and wicking is better if you cut the wicks to the walls of the tank, like the Stardust. But try them long first - if you are not quite happy, cut...

    Alright, experimented with the second Scorpion... Can never leave things alone. It seems that the big difference between it wicking well, and not wicking worth a durn, is how long you let it sit originally. You need to let it sit until the wicks absorb as much liquid as they are going to -...

    On Sale Now Innokin Itaste VV² Squared Kit with 510 and 808 magnets with tidy CLEAROS in 3 colors!

    Bad two things: A sleeve like was discussed earlier, but make it an inverted cone like they have for eGos with tanks on them, and make it gradually go from square to round - this would prettify a regular tank on an iTaste. And, two words: Square ViVi.

    Mountain Oak Vapors - Premium Tennessee E-Liquid

    Miscallaneous offerings: I'm still vaping the old GP. When I originally ordered it, I was surprised that it was "cool" - and I really don't like anything menthol-ish. Strangely, it grew on me. I often have it as my morning vape, it wakes me up, it's so fresh. The peach component is terrific...
