According to your banner you were wasting your money on smoking in 1999. :lol:

Not really,,, my smoking:

1) saved me from a ricochet injury once-stepped out of the way to get a cig just in the nic (lol) of time - yeah I know 'nick of time')
2) saved countless brainlessmorons from death and reality moments

I read about the May 2020 summit, and my basic premise still stands. If all you were able to get after May 2020 was PG, VG and flavors and have to mix your own, there's no way the government can stop home DIY mixing at the worst. At best, they won't do anything.
But what about the people that use nicotine??? You're forgetting about them. And what do the people who's mods die or run out of coils do? Where will they get their hardware?

I am building that NEXT then I just spent an hour trying to build and wick my (cloned) Kayfun light. I HATE TOP AIR TANKS. Except the v4 Expro but even that is a bit iffy.

I have questions ? How on GOD'S GREEN EARTH are you supposed to know what is going with y our JFC when you cannot SEE IT? That is just OBNOXIOUS.

WHY WHY WHY is the airflow so tiny.

Why do I have to suck on it like a straw and nothing and then MOUTHFULS of juice? Like ALOT like EWWWWWW. I gave up. It's pretty. I hate it. LOL.

The Silverplay? I can get a rdl with it. No judgment... it’s recoil/rewick time, but this is about where I set the “U” trap for the wick. It’s trimmed flat with the “cage”. Af on the bottom is wide open since I have a lower ohm coil, at @ 0.8 I have it 1/2-2/3 open

hope you realize that people who rely on tip earn less than min wage. It is their tips that actually make their wage not their hourly.

Coffee shop worker are not considered wait staff, .and they do earn minimum wage.

I was a waitress through a lot of HS and college, I know how it works. If you are good (I was good, in fact I was mentioned by name in a review of my rather expensive frenc restaurant in the Washington Post, back when it actually mattered. Everyone was like, "Are you leaving? You could take that review ANYWHERE like the Four Seasons, and get hired," but I was like, "Nah, it's fine."

I know how it works, I made OUT because I was good at it, and it is a great job.

I am also an excellent tipper... WHEN I get good service. When I don't I have to let the husband do the tipping because not only will I tip poorly I will state the reasons why and invite the waitstaff to do better next time.

JUST because there is a tipping OPTION does not mean a person is getting paid less than minimum wage.

And guess what the busboys WERE making minimum wage and they STILL got a portion of our tips which I ALWAYS declared an I STILL made out.

Unless you work in the coffee making vs . restaurant industry please don't tell me what I do or do not know.

"Tipping" industries almost never have the "TIP" invitation and since it is LOGGED, my understanding of it is that the person receiving the tip gets 10% if they are LUCK and the rest goes to the owner/operator. I also tip my hairdresser.P

Kindly do NOT tell me when and how to tip, you do what YOU want but you are pretty under educated. JMHO as always.....

I always tip well,, & leave a positive comments on the ticket. On the few times the service was bad, I left $1 & told them the other $10-$15 will stay with me since they didn't want it.

I give huge leeway on reasons for bad service,,, place was crowded,, customer was fighting with them,,,, but when you watch them stand around chatting with other servers while you can't get a drink refill or order or are served cold food- that really ticks me off,,, food is my thing not shoes

Here's an example of the latest coffee order placed (it'll probably ship tomorrow):
NICARAGUA RED BOURBON NATURAL
Cupping Notes: Milk chocolate, Dried Fruit, Almond

It'll get a fairly light roast, likely City+, so all those notes (background flavors) can be tasted.

The one I'm roasting today is from Costa Rica. Cupping Notes: Milk Chocolate, Balanced, Marshmallow, Molasses, Nutty, Sweet

If you roast too dark the flavors disappear.

Ive only tipped bad once and thats because the server yelled across the restaurant for the cook to put down more all you can eat shrimp because "these girls are big and are gonna want more."

    Not really cause I know I have enough. If something like the adapter comes up, I will just have to live without it, if need be.
