Some might be wondering abt that "Grandmaster" title....not to be taken too seriously. But I've done the following.

Martial Arts Studied: Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Chung Mo Quan, Hapkido; and the Filipino Knife/Machete Arts of Inayan, Serrada - Largo Mano - Dequerdas(SLD), Bahala Na, Mata Sa Bagyo, Headhunters, Defensor Method.

Man that's a lot of work.

What do you do for fun?

I have also been awarded the title master in several martial arts, and a grand master in Magnussa Phoenix, and created my own form of Qigong especially for senior citizens. Been practicing Ba Duan Jin, Zhan Zhuang, and Nei Dan forms of Qigong 43 years.
Cool, all these masters here :) I have some Tia Chi and Qigong DVD's but master of none :)

I am on ECF, Twitter and read news all day unless I am working. I like martial arts(I'm 56 and have been in martial arts since I was 9), vaping, sports cars, mma, nhl, and I have a pretty sweet setup for systems (an Alienware Area 51 that I bought fully loaded in 2015 w a 30" monitor and a Dell T-410 server) that I practice programming/VMware/Linux and Microsoft administration of.

For a living I install PCs and servers...not 10 at a time, but 200 to 500 PCs at a crack, and 200 to 2000 monitors at a crack for those systems.

Quote from ECF @schismz

...caffeine and nicotine are what make consciousness and coherent thought possible. Who would ever want to quit either one?!?!? That's crazy talk! If you don't nurture your addictions one day they'll just BE GONE and then what will you do!?!??!?
@Tommy-Chi I'm deeply honored :cool: my inebriated honesty bows to your innate understanding of our shared life's experience. [making aum sounds].

I-ll sell you a couple for $3,000 - 25% off sale... :w00t::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
Not a bad deal.
It takes 1.8ml of nic to make a 60ml of 3mg juice.
1 liter of nic makes 555.5 60ml bottles.
Sell the bottles for $20 (figure 1/2 price of B&Ms)
Weak profit after including the price of flavoring, bottles, labels, bottling machine, etc.

I like $40 per liter for VT TH better. GLWYS ;)

Tommy you and I are much alike.

Put into martial arts at 10 by the school system after leaving a teacher in the floor. So they decided i needed martial arts so that yiung man can learn self Control and discipline.

They had me study Aikido, Jiu Jitsu, AteWaza, i hold purple belts in those, Karate (brown belt), and Tae Kwan Do second Dan.

Then at tge age of 19 taught by a Qigong master that was a disciple of Wang Xiang Zhai the founder of Zhan Zhuang.

The stance holding tge baloon starts with tge horse stance used ectensively in Shaolin kungfu and he Brought the arms into it.

First time they are asked to hold the baloon sometimes called hug a tree they can only hold that position 2-3 minutes. Well i'm stubborn i was not going to let it beat me. When Tsang said I was ready to teach i had stood in that position for 65 minutes.

In the 1990s i was into anti-virus research and PC Security,

November 1996 had my first out of body experience and my life turned 180 degrees.

Course, I can tell my ProVari is about to flash too. :laugh:
Just really subtle changes you'll find the longer you use a particular item.
The only thing I dont like about the provaris is not having it display the percent charge thats left. I'd love to know how you know. The best I can do is when it has about 3.2 left I have about an hour.

That's one of the advantages of being a tootle puffer - batts last 1.5 days and I just change them up every morning - no worry about how much batt I have left...

Yup. My 18350s last about 11-12 hours - not quite a whole day but close.

    I am sure someone probably knows how to figure percentage from the check batt reading on the Vari. I just check it like you do and it works for me.

    I don't know, it could all be in my head as far as knowing when my battery is getting low.
    I used my mini 2.5's exclusively (99% of the time) since 2013, running 18490's with the extender cap.
    I usually change out the battery in the a.m., so if could, in all actuality be more that I am fine tuned to know about how long it lasts, and just subconsciously *know* at a certain point in the day.
    I just thought that with cartos I could tell when there was a battery drop at 2.3, but in truth, it's regulated all the way down to 2.3, so on paper, I shouldn't be able to tell.

    One reason I really like Radius, it has a batt icon and shows battery use with every push of the button. It's very handy :)

    With a ProVari I know I'm close to flashing because the taste of my vape will change & vapor will decrease. I dont even bother checking what the batt is down to.

    ...so, I'm not the ONLY one. :laugh:

    Don't really need no stinkin' battery display. I know when It's getting close to a battery change by the amount of juice in my tank.
    Well, then there's THAT too. :lol: (if everything were as EASY as the Reos and the RM2 :laugh:)
