    What a pleasant thought - especially for summertime. I'll make a note of it. :)

    OK, why all the ProVari hate?

    Well then, perhaps they should proselytize a bit less. I can't say I've ever seen atheists ridicule Buddhist monks, for instance, since they're sensible enough to mind their own business. It's the Holy Rollers that get the grief, and I think its pretty easy to see why. ;)

    OK, why all the ProVari hate?

    Yes, it is. My point is that ProVari owners often seem to see simple preference for something else as "hate," and then generate something resembling real hate by pushing and pushing and pushing their point until the other person runs screaming from the room. :)

    OK, why all the ProVari hate?

    But do you honestly think people "attack" the ProVari? I very, very rarely see that. I think it would be much more accurate to say that people sometimes say, "No, thanks!" when the ProVari is recommended, and that that, all by itself, is construed as an "attack," which in turn results in an...

    OK, why all the ProVari hate?

    Actually, my main reasons for not choosing the ProVari were (1) I wanted a simple, mechanical mod, (2) I dislike clicky buttons, and (3) I think it's ugly. There's nothing particularly mysterious or technical about any of those reasons. But it never seems to occur to ProVari people that...

    Ridiculous setup thread!

    There must be something terribly wrong with me, 'cause I think this looks pretty awesome. :)

    OK, why all the ProVari hate?

    Funny thing. When I first realized that I wanted a real mod instead of another eGo, I started looking around and, of course, the ProVari came up early on in my search. I immediately rejected it for several reasons completely unrelated to cost, but, at that point, I certainly didn't "hate" it...

    This is magic!

    Congratulations! :) Three months . . . that really feels like quitting doesn't it?

    Glass Pyrex Tanks?

    What kind are you using? Seems like there's a new Carto-Gate every five minutes!

    Glass Pyrex Tanks?

    I love glass tanks, but, really, they're only as good as the cartos you put in them. They can, however, be very cool to look at. Hotvapes has unusual, colorful, hand-blown tanks. TheECig has lovely simple ones that are pretty much indestructible. IB Tanked has great prices, and Phiniac is very...

    Don't think of it as "selling out." Think of it as "facilitating the grand cru lifestyle that 'interesting' academics can only dream of while poring over freshman essays that would make any sane person fear for the future of our once great nation." :) Anyhow, I happened to be in a wine...

    NEW! SMOKtech DRUNKER RBA 5ml Rebuildable Atomizer - Its Here, Its FUN, Its Affordable, Its Hot Looking, A Great Way to Start Down the RBA Path!

    Oh, I'm glad to see this post, Zippersnapper, as I'd planned to use the same setup. So. Is getting the P and C through the wee holes really a major pain the ...? I'm pretty good at wrapping coils at this point, but those holes . . . hmmm.

    Ha! I knew it! I'm a Frankfort School critic myself, so yes - equally red of hand. VERY glad to meet you, Comrade T. :toast: I understand your point. What annoys me, I think, is the fact that they appear to be using scarcity - real or manufactured - to ramp up an almost obsessive consumer...

    Well, that's a very interesting answer. I'll be sure to keep it in mind if this mysterious package ever arrives. (Which, of course, I hope it does. I can't say I'm convinced, but you've piqued my curiosity, certainly.) Thank you for your forthrightness. I appreciate it. :)

    Do you honestly think eliquid is equivalent to rare wine, Moueix? This isn't a rhetorical question; I'm genuinely curious.

    But we're not talking about Virginia Woolf, Comrade Tezcatlipoca. We're talking about little bottles of flavored nicotine. Surely it's possible to get just a bit too precious about all this? But please tell me this is Walter Benjamin reference! (I'm a Critical Theorist - at the very...

    I understand and respect connoisseurship, I think. (I'm an academic in the Humanities, and nuance is what we do best.) And who knows? Maybe Serenity or Surrender or whatever it is will change my entire world in a nanosecond, and I will instantly forget to wonder why such a wildly successful...
