    Who here has been vaping longer than 12months??

    I've been using the riva t since early december and they work great. I drip when at home or sitting somewhere but for going out I like the tank for duration and simplicity. just over 13 months without a cigarette now.

    Ya, I looked at preamps. it was only $25 more to buy the mandobird. I'm going to sell my epiphone... I had feedback problems with just the piezo. I considered trying to mic my "The Loar" mando as it is a sweet instrument, but again volumes. we had another guitar player jam with us and I had to...

    I tried to convert our lead guitarist today at rehearsals. He nearly hacked up a lung. should have handed him the tank setup but handed him a lr 510 I drip 28mg 555. haha. I take small vapes off that and satisfies. Having a ton of fun with this band but I tell you I have tried every form of...

    Got my second jam with the new band and we picked 2 tunes each to add to the list. so looks like we are doing a mix of covers and originals. 3 vocalists so we are sharing the load and harmonies.... man I am in heaven. I miss having so many singers to work together. the drummer sings a bit too...

    I can't get over how god awful my mandolin sounded being plugged direct into my keyboard amp. I'm going to try it through my zoom pedal and see if I can't get a better sound. was okay doing chugga chuggas but the high notes were shrill to me. I never had to play volume loud enough before, trying...

    well guys, I went and jammed with a new band today. What a blast. lots of old blues. I know the progressions so the actual songs didn't matter so much. I played a lot of keyboards (hammond b3) and did guitar fill stuff. we traded off solos too though I have to admit the guitar fretboard felt...

    4 bolt Squire, nothing special. I played the electric after Tom left. The width of the neck almost surprises me after playing the octave mandolin. well awake an hour and a half earlier today. just have to wake up a tad earlier each day now for sunday's jam. I can't believe it's snowing like...

    Interesting instrument. looks pretty lethal. I wonder how many cuts those wrists have endured. Man I am counting the days down to the jam. 3 days away. I pulled out my strat last night and tweaked the intonation. I was going to lower the action some more at bridge and nut but the midi pickup...

    I solo on guitar and understand scale positions, but this mandolin family everything is different. it's almost like solos go horizontal on the fretboard rather than vertical like a guitar because you can stretch 8 frets fairly easily the one thing about mandolin I don't think I will ever be...

    My theory sucks. I have a good ear. I can listen to most stuff and just learn it aside from complex pieces because it's a lot to remember. not knowing where stuff goes will help bigtime. and I need some understanding of cross picking and cross string picking. I read and know the difference but...

    I have a tough time sticking to one type of instrument let alone one instrument hehe. I want one good instrument of each type I play. I don't need a collection of each type. collecting instruments is actually cheaper than collecting 5th scale rc cars and way more fun. I found out for my...

    I asked the drummer for a list of songs and he replied, blues rhythms, and play keys, original new tunes... so looks like I am a guikeyist and I'll figure it out when I get there. my favourite thing to play is organ on it too. it's a busy instrument. I actually like not always being the front...

    So much for not playing with drummers. My old drummer just stopped by. He has put together another band. They are a 3 pce doing blues stuff and need some fill. So I am going to play the midi guitar and do keys, guitar etc and also get to play mandolin and do some vocals with their singer. First...
