Glad you like my idea. And NO the Cookie dough doesnt stay around long enough to be freezer burned.

I want cookies 1-2 times a week and can bake 6-8 cookies in my toaster oven, and works great for me.
What a great idea! I freeze all my goodies, I buy those tiny little cupcakes once in awhile and freeze them, so if I want a treat it has to be unthawed before eating, great for diet control :)

Yes the old tractors were made to last and last, my hubby has an old Farmall and an old John Deere 70, he loves his old stuff :) I guess that's why he keeps me around, I'm a classic vintage myself LOL!!!!!!:lol::lol::lol::lol:

something on the cub breaks it will get fixed. i have a good spare engine if i cannot afford to rebuild it when the time comes. i think my tractor outlived its original owner and think about it, when im running it, its 33 years older then its owner. she's almost double my age but the old gal never complains when it has to mow 2 acres per week, never complains when it expected to plow over a foot of heavy wet snow. tough, extremely reliable, and simple old machine. people seem to like their zero turns and their sub compacts. they can have them, not only is a cool old vintage machine it will also have lower operating costs then something more modern. i will never have to replace it, it sips fuel and almost never breaks down. they knew how to make stuff back then.

i also have a 1961 IH cub cadet with a nice condition 38" timed deck. it also runs great and still very capable of mowing the lawn. that's my backup tractor. she's a little slower but mows and runs excellent

i couldnt agree more. there products were no longer satisfying me and i didnt use them very long, however they were the first on the market.... they did use the FDA and won. we would not be where we are today if it was not for them. god bless them. innovation would have been stifled before it has its chance to get its feet off the ground.
They do offer ego type batts now and refill clearos, plus their artistc collection is good for juice. They had a 60% off sale and I got Samba Sun and it was really good. I liked it so much made a clone LOL I can't belive they are going under.

i think my next step is to eventually buy some more RDTA's. i want to check out that billow V2 nano and the limitless i have on the way. i do want a few more aromomizers while i am at it. what a nice performing tank. im thinking the billow V2 nano for my wife. she likes a smaller form factor, and for reasons of protecting our right to vape, she needs an RDTA.

how is the billow V2 nano anyways?

Cool! Hubby has an old antique sickle mower on the Farmall and mows the property with it. Well I think the long lasting vape gear we have will be the Farmalls of vape!

realistically if you treat your cells like gold, not loose them or short them out what is the longest you could used on in a PV?

I have 6 I have been using in semi rotation for over 4 years. I pretty much try to follow the battery university on care for them.

they might have to be the farmalls of vape if FDA has its way. im glad the quality on vaping gear got better and better because the early stuff, allot of it just fell apart. i think allot of manufactures got the quality right in the last couple of years. that's what competition does. drives up quality and drives down price. its amazing the kinds of mods that are on the market for less then $40 with the sales. i remember paying $100 for a el-cheapo POS lava-tube which was only variable voltage.... but i thought it was the bomb because it functioned like the provari for less then 1/2 of the cost. stuff in the last 2-3 years blows that stuff away. too bad if FDA has there way it will all be for not.

Hubby just finished restoring a 1948 Gibson. When he got it it looked like a pile of rust. This is it now. The only parts that needed to be replaced were the carburetor and the brake bands. They don't make things to last like that any more.

I am afraid most of my vape gear won't last as long but I am very careful with mine so expect it to last as long as I need it to. BTW:That tractor and I were made the same year :D

edited to correct a mistake: Hubby said it is a 1946 model so it has a couple of years on me :D

are those the same batteries, LG brown 3000 MAH that we use? damn that's allot of batteries. what's the lifespan in a vehicle because i know in our devices if you get two years that's pushing it. they have something like a 3-500 cycle life i think.

realistically if you treat your cells like gold, not loose them or short them out what is the longest you could used on in a PV?
Not sure about the brand, but I would doubt Tesla would use anything other than Sony, LG or Samsung. They are definately 18650s though.

500 cycle life is stated on most 18650 batteries IIRC. So 1.5 years if they are charged every day? 2-3 years for most batteries we would use for vaping would be my guess though as many of us rotate batteries.

It's sad about Njoy. That court case years ago was the best thing that happened for us.
I've stockpiled some, and instead of throwing old stuff out like coils, etc, I throw them in a box. It's kind of like saving the cigarette butts-just in case.

I think that we have begun a revolution. I don't think it will go away. We may lose a battle but we won't lose the war. 40 million people in the world vape. BT is not going to down without a fight. Fortunately they will take the FDA down with them.

They should be focusing on exploding cell phones , not 18650 batteries.

they are trying to create a prohibition. black markets will emerge. the biggest thing that i find comforting is how BAD and EVIL the FDA is going to look in 20-30 years when we dont have a morgue full of vapers but still have morgues full of cigarette victims.

they might loose their day in court, either way they will loose in the end when the technology vindicates itself. they will be exposed for who they really are. crooks. until then im still going to vape, i will have enough hardware to last decades.

I bought some new flavours... Cinnamon Danish (CAP), cinnamon sugar cookie (TFA), blueberry (TFA) and glazed doughnut (TFA).

For the first time in months, I am excited to try something other than Apple pie, green tea ice cream, grape candy, vanilla custard and strawberry cream. My wife actually did some research and sent me over a dozen recipes she wants to try out. :thumb:

These arrive this week with about a litre of our ADV flavours.... Grape candy, sweet strawberry, vanilla custard and cotton candy.
