    Weren't we using aquarium sealant as some point for something? I have this memory of holding a vape in my hand and telling Dad it's what he needed to use for some reason or another.

    Also... I don't feel comfortable putting the !#Ω#! logo into my sig, isn't that like putting targets on ourselves? :matrix: Good tune though, wanna say Dad saw them recently but there's that memory... could easily be the wrong band. He's seen every classic rock band that toured recently though.

    Done stocking up?!? Not even close! Right now I feel caught up to what most people had kicking around during regular times, just with more bottles of nic. There are no devices drying out in my closet. But if we got shut down today... I'd make it work.

    They swim and jump in between ships that are doing underway replenishment. A number of times I was on lookout watch at ~40' with binoculars in the midst of a dolphin school (university?) as far as I could see in all directions. Many thousands of them. The first time I stood on the edge of The Grand Canyon was the only thing I've encountered that was even close to as overwhelming.

    That would be so neat to see.

    Love it. If you ever get a chance to do a whale watching tour in the San Juan Islands (WA) or at Depoe Bay (Ore), it is also spectacular.

    I've been on whale watch out of Gloucester MA.
    Saw over 20. Awesome experience :thumb:

    I got the last mod I wanted and am done for the foreseeable future.

    BMI v2.5 copper mod. It is a huge expenditure but I wanted it and I work my tail off.

    Hey bud. Can you send me the link for that mod please?

    We saw lots of humpbacks and even some minke whales (which I'd never seen before) in June while on our Alaska trip. Waited for hours at Beluga Point, near Anchorage, to see the Beluga come in with the tide, but never saw any of them. The orcas have been really scarce on our trips up there, since 2011. Saw a pod of 14 of them in the channel at Ketchikan then, and a couple on the trip down to Tracy Arm Fjiord from Juneau in 2014, only about 12-15' out from our boat then. Didn't see any this time up there.

    When I was still teaching school, we took several classes on a field trip to Sea World in Orlando. Just guess who was picked out of the audience (or rather volunteered by the students)...to go up on a platform, lean way over (while a SW guy held tightly onto the back waistband of the "volunteer's" pants), and told do NOT look down into the pool...for Shamu to come up andf plant a big kiss on?? Yep...'twas me! Still have the picture of it! Let's just say I did actually look down for a few seconds, and the next thing I knew...the biggest, wettest tongue in the world slurped all the way up the side of my face from my chin to the top of my head! My hair was sticking straight up when he finished. Once in a lifetime experience, I'll tell ya!!

    Be careful of the 510 connection on that kbox, I purchased 4 and all of them had the connection fall out of the mod (wires were still attached) with just normal use.

    I don't have a Kbox, but I had planned to buy a few. Should I rethink that? What did you do with them after the connections fell out? Were they repairable?

    The desk unit is new - well "old". It was a "gift" from work. There's a 2nd side with all sorts of file drawers. SO will use that for craft stuffs. I am moving goodies from my "vape cave" upstairs down here. Just gotta organize my flavors.

    I think this will work better for mixing and coil building - MUCH better lighting, and the basement is cooler than the old vape cave.

    30+ mods (Mechs 'n' regulated) and 50+ toppers. Over 1.75L nic, over 3Gal VG/1PG, coil cotton, rayon, SS, Kanthal, and Nichrome.... Yeah, I'm not even looking at anything anymore :)

    I went through a "freak out" stage about 2-3 months ago. I made a really big purchase from HeavenGifts because I wanted to get some clearance gear for a friend whom I'm going to try to convert. Everything has finally arrived, and for the first time in WEEKS, I have no incoming vapemail :shock:

    I'll replenish some flavorings, and depending on whether I mix juices for my friend, might wrangle some more nic.

    Virtually every topper I have is rebuildable. I wouldn't mind some "plug 'n' vape" coils for my STNs, rather than rebuilding the old OCC heads (but I can if I need to). Stocked up a BUNCH of Nautilus heads (mostly the Ni200 - they were dirt cheap, and I have a ton of mods on which those will work.)

    I have all the "fun" things I've wanted. Only one mod was purchased at "full" price (and that was over 18 months ago!)

    Yes, I've spent a bundle, but I ain't smokin' no more, so I don't care.
