I used a mac for 5 years but switched to PC after college and never looked back. Android phones are preferable to me as well. I really was reluctant to get a smart phone at all, and mostly don't like it. BUT, it's useful on vacation for directions, researching places to visit etc. Other than that, I'd be happy with a flip phone with texting disabled. Call me old school but I hate texting! Call me or bug off :D

I wonder if Google will follow Apple's lead? Hopefully not...

:thumbs:

Now - I get very confused (nothing new) trying to find what batteries I NEED on "Mooch's" List . . . o_O So any recommendations for 18650 ? :?: I would like get some more for the "Stash" box so they would NEED to last for a awhile in storage . . . :pop:

Oh Yea - Anyone find an addition discount code ? :rolleyes:

I wouldn't worry about batteries for your stash as you will always be able to get them. They will lose some of their life in storage, so best to get them when you actually need them.

I'll watch a bunch of videos before I plan on building one... but that won't be for a long time, it was a last resort purchase. If YouTube decides to drop vaping content we are seriously going to be in the dark on a lot of this gear we purchased though.
I downloaded some videos for a couple of my RTAs for just that reason. I need to do it for all of them.

It just got absorbed into the budget. I suppose it has gone to my daughter's college education. Still paying on that and will be for some time.
You could NOT afford to send your daughter to college because of the stinkies.

  • 1 Liter of 100mg/mL nicotine: check
  • 1 Liter each of PG/VG: check
  • Dozens of bottles: check
  • Blunt tip syringes: check
  • 15 flavors: check
  • 5 mech mods: check
  • 10 RDAs: check
  • 4 regulated mods: check
  • 3 tanks: check
  • 1 pod system: check
  • 6 Samsung 30Ts: check
  • 6 Samsung 20Ss: check
  • 8 sony VTCsomethings: check
  • 550 feet of various gauge Kanthal A1: check
I think I should be good for a few years unless another wave of "shinyitis" hits me or they make sales of PG/VG and flavors illegal.
Not sure about your usage, but just looking at your list, you probably did not need that many batteries as you can always get them. I would focus on getting more nic, enough for a lifetime (this should be priority #1). Also, replacement glass.

When we started vaping we had one in college and one two years away. We saved enough by vaping to pay for nearly half of the second one's four year degree while he covered half with work, grants and scholarships.

I think it was smoking karma - he was the five year old running around the yard ripping up a pack of cigarettes he grabbed from my hand - he always hated us smoking. He's now married with a bigger house than mine, and welcomes us vaping there. Gotta love 'em!

My son hated me smoking too. He used to complain the kids at school picked on him for smelling like smoke. I blamed him for not showering. (which he didn't) But the fact is I smoked in the house and everything smelled like smoke including his clothes. I was in denial even when my sister told me my clothes were what smelled like smoke.

I actually have been doing that with a premade bottle for years because I just don't want to argue with local cops. LOL

My first 2 years of vaping I got pulled over and my eliquid tested 3 times. They just wouldn't believe I wasn't doing something illegal and had never seen nicotine vaping before.
Wow! That’s insane! And harassment!

Mine is now in grad school. She had over $80,000 in scholarships but she went to a private college so the tuition was through the roof compared to a state university. We told her we would pay for the first 4 years, but she had to pay beyond that (she is at NYU now).

She was pretty expensive, sometimes I had wished she was dumb like my other 2 kids were that way I wouldn't have needed to pay for college. :D

We smoked in the house/car too. In 4th grade, my daughter's teacher asked her if she had smoked a cigarette (because her clothes smelled like smoke). After that we started smoking outside. I remember when we moved to a new house after that (which had never been smoked in), I could smell cigarettes on everything, aside from clothes things like my computer stunk.

I just informed my hubby he can get what he wants but I will NOT be getting another iPhone and I will stick with my fitbit. To heck with the apple watch I am not going there.

In my case it is the principle of the thing.
I found the watch annoying as heck! I endured it for a year then put it aside. And I’m “tethered” to my phone! I was surprised that I felt over-connected lol

When and I say “when” and not “if” you pull the trigger on those Serpents you will NOT regret it. Never in my vaping life have I ever made such an easy transition from using a drop in coil subohm tank to an rta. The design on this thing is really foolproof, myself being the fool. :D

Which serpent are you all referring to? The elevate, or the smm? They both look fairly simple to build, but look like the decks are quite different. They are both on sale on Wotofo’s website for 19.99.

I separated my mods from my tanks and accessories. Putting it all into two tubs helped me realistically understand everything I actually have stored.

I also took a few mods out of the plastic so I could handle them. It is better to see the mods than a bunch of boxes. I am particularly impressed with the Squid DB. I chose Army Green. Forgive the obvious pun but it is heavy as a tank. I like that in a mod. Feels incredibly durable.

Also for the first time I held my Drag 2. It is truly a beautiful device, and the tank it came with, while I will likely never stock on coils for it, will be good to have in the stash as one of the many backups. Perhaps I may see if there is an RBA deck available for it.

Still have a Topside, Luna, and Jackaroo (will be my second) on the way. The Topside I plan to put into rotation ASAP. The Luna and Jackaroo will go into the box.

Now that I am so pleased with the Wotofo Serpent I will pack away my FireLuke mesh and all of the coils I have stocked for it. The FireLuke will be good for times when I don’t feel like I will be able to maintain a build on the Serpent.

We are having some really heavy times with my MIL’s health right now. She has taken a stark turn for the worse. Still holding out hope that treatment may work. Having my vaping stuff and this site is an amazing distraction, and knowing she supports it makes me feel good about it.

When the rest of my orders come in, I will likely reorganize again. I think we here all knew I was bound to end up with more than one tub of stuff. :)
I had to giggle when that tub ended up in my fb feed right after the conversations about it here a while back. I think it was your tub. Anyway, since I clicked on a link to look I guess big brother thought I needed one.

I'll either get it or I won't. But as long as its usable is all that matters.


I have faith that you’ll get it - I mean if I can do it, anyone can.

The curve can be set to 5 wattages, so you can customize your hit. I love it, and have been using that more than the other settings. I set it high for half a second to heat the coil up, then lower to where I’d have it if it were in power.

It’s sort of like the S, N, H adjustment in power, but a lot more specific.

Apple, as most of you already know, banned vaping apps... but there was discussion here a few weeks ago about apps in the Google Play store for coil building. If Google has not banned them, does anyone have any suggestions for apps?

EDIT: I had no interest in them when people were discussing them, but now I want one now that I know it's possible I may never be able to get one (if Google follows suit, if they have not already banned them).
