I was thinking of how to make my own wraps from my fiber art pics, so maybe print the image on a full sheet of sticky paper and cover it with mod Podge or clear finger nail polish?? I may try it :)

I 'skinned' a couple of our Pico's with clear carbon fiber wraps. I was able to score a 'sample' piece for a couple bucks on Amazon. I carefully covered the pico with pieces of blue painters tape. Then removed it in 1 piece to use as the template for cutting the final wrap for the sticky back carbon fiber. Turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.

I am truly tired of shopping. For vape stuff that is. Now I have an amazon cart full of Christmas gifts. :facepalm: My son is almost 20 years old and loves legos. It is tradition every year for him to get two sets of legos, one from me and one from my Mom. We get those expensive thousands of pieces sets though. Of course he sits there after Christmas and can have them made in a few hours. :blink: So this year I found one that is almost 3,500 pieces! HA! We'll see how long this one takes him. :laugh:
Has he done the historic building ones yet? Those are sooo cool!

The squirrels, nuts or coils?

Yep, just go real safe, 24 .... or perhaps 21.
I learned that at around 15-20 years into our 39 yrs of marriage. I was tired of getting slapped upside the head. :D
I can remember in the days of the old console tvs, if the picture went wonky my dad would go and slap the wood top of the tv. Poof! Picture was back. Perhaps we ladies learned as children that was an effective “reset” method :lol:

Are you kin to Jack Benny? :) (showing my age).
My dad threw my mom a “sweet 16” “39th” birthday party ( in honor of the 16 years she had stuck at 39 :lol:). The theme was 50’s diner (when she was actually 16) with the ladies in poodle skirts and the guys all looking like Fonzie or Richie Cunningham.

I don’t care if someone knows my age. It’s just a number

I remember that. Also when our Dad's had us kids moving the rabbit ears around for the best signal reception. "There, no there, wait, go back". And had us get up to change the channel when there were only a handful of channels. Fun times.

Sitting here in the dark. When it rains it pours. My overhead light went out. Amazon to the rescue. Bulbs will be here Saturday.

Yes and my Mom got to watch the program and we kids had to stand there holding hands so she could get reception.

What's your recipe for KK? I've tried 2 so far: one from All The Flavors and one from Do Or Die Vaping - neither is very close to the orig (my ADV for years)
I have never made it or vaped it but I was going to try this recipe:

Killer Kustard
1% NY Cheesecake CAP
2% Vanilla Cupcake v2 CAP
2% Vanilla Custard TPA
5% Vanilla Custard v2 CAP
5% Vanilla Swirl TPA

I also just found this one that looks interesting:

Killer Kustard (DMC version from elr):
0.25% Acetyl Pyrazine 5% TPA
1.00% French Vanilla CAP
0.25% Marzipan INW
0.25% Super Sweet CAP
2.00% Sweet Cream CAP
5.00% Vanilla Custard CAP
1.00% Vanilla Whipped Cream CAP
0.25% Vanillin 10% PG TPA
0.75% Vienna Cream FA

They both sound good to me. I don’t think I have everything for recipe #2.

Not the Pico ... but some other iSticks I covered with clear carbon fiber sticky back 'stuff'. I though it gave 'em a nice look by breaking up the solid color of the factory finish.

Reminds me of an old family story.

My grandma was always a walking, talking blooper. She and grandpa are watching tv, and reception gets really bad. She says "Do you think birds are on the antenna, Tony?"
He says "For cryin' out loud, Lorraine, if they were, we'd probably NOTICE!"

Their TV looked like this:

Boring Pico??? Say it isn't so.

I have 1 like that and several of the other color combinations. Picked them up a year or so ago when they were on sale or clearance from a US vendor. I like your white tank with the lime green flat acrylic drip tip! I love those drip tips, too, and so does my hairdresser that I've gotten hooked on vaping. Some more bags of them are ordered with most every FT order I place, because hers just sort of go missing or get broken really fast! I haven't lost or broken 1 yet.

send a check to Marines, Toy's for Toy's ... let them p/u what's needed for who. :thumbs:

I ran into 2 Marines doing some shopping for Toys for Tots in Walmart 2 years ago. They had a large amount to spend and needed a couple hundred toys, games, etc. and other types of gifts. They both looked really bewildered about picking out the age appropriate toys for the kids, especially ones that were some of the better buys. Same thing with choosing the other stuff. There was lots of indecision going on. I told them I was a retired elementary school teacher, and that my students and I used to adopt multiple families, with kids of all ages, for Christmas every year. I'd continued adopting them since retirement, too, so if I could be of any help I'd gladly do it. They both smiled really big smiles and said, "Ma'am, we'll gladly take you up on that offer. Whew!" Spent the next couple hours with them choosing stuff. Was fun for me, too. :)
