I’m cheap and always go for older android phones. Serves its purpose and they do the same things as an iPhone most of the time.
yeah well this is going to mean I will have to learn to use my phone instead of handing it to the apple loyal hubby and say "HONEY FIX IT"

ok I think I have this hellbeast rba (In the cerebus) figured out. You need enough wick to fill the coil barely. If you tug the ends of the cotton it should slide easily back and forth through the coil without moving the mod/base. So just enough to fill not enough to stuff it. Hopefully that is a good enough description to give someone a ballpark.

    I've had two iPhones in the past 5 years and I just got my second a couple months ago. I'd love to say "Screw Apple" and go back to Android, mainly because of this vape thing, but I can't. I've had a game of backgammon going with one of my best childhood friends for 5 years straight and we play every single day. Him suggesting I get an iPhone so we could play was literally the only reason I even bought one. I'm a PC/Android kind of guy in reality. But I can't screw up our game now, we've been playing too long.

    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.

    Naw most builds are basically the same or close enough to figure out. I rarely have to to watch build videos any more.

    Caveate there I have been building/rebuilding since 2013. There are only really 3-4 setups and pretty much everything is a variation on those.

    The hubby dragged me kicking and screaming into the whole smart phone thing. I was perfectly happy with my little flip phone. In fact if I didn't need to be able to text him (never figured that out on the flip phone) when its pickup from work time I probably would get another flip phone.

    Well, even the term "phone" is a misnomer nowadays. Those smartphones are powerful portable computers, not phones. :lol:

    I use it for calls, texting the hubby once a day, and scanning foods with the WW app at the grocery to see how they fit the diet. It would not be a huge stretch for me to go back to a flip phone.

    I probably wouldn't go back to a flip phone, but I use maybe 20% of what my smartphone is capable of. :facepalm:

    I need a new phone and couldn't decide between the iPhone 11 and the new Google Pixel. I've always had an Apple phone, but a lot of people really like that Pixel. Hmmm...
    Depends on which ones operating system meshes with your brain I think. Oldest just switched back to Apple from Samsung. I have no comparison, had Apple phones since they came out (also syncs everything to my MacBook and iPad). We just upgraded to 11s (our old phones were about obsolete). To me, Apple is very intuitive. My best friend hates it. Can’t make friends with the OS. The right answer is the one you like. If you know someone with a Pixel, ask if you can play with it for an hour, see how it works for you

    Wait ten years and flip phones will be the new retro thing. Or else we’ll all either be chipped or living in caves

    After the recent spate of vaping being ambushed by those who currently hold offices, I have unilaterally decided not to make any further declarations about being “done” with stocking up. I’ve got four orders still en route and I’m only feeling more confident about each purchase being a good choice. There is absolutely no reason for any of us to feel insecure about our vaping futures if we don’t have to.

    I asked my husband if he would help me with a second box for my supplies. So, for the record, my “one tub” situation may very soon grow an appendage. :lol:

    I know--my family is pretty much evenly divided... One kid is all Mac and iPhone, the other hates Apple and is all Android (now Pixel, Samsung and blackberry before) and Lenovo laptop. :) DH is all android, too. I have a PC, an iPhone and an iPad. :facepalm:

    I'm so used to my iPhone.

    *sigh*

    I copied and saved a bunch of YouTube videos in 2016, think I will have to do more now. It would be a disaster to loose the info out there.

    Jeez I missed the comment you quoted in this post. :shock: Fortunately there are other venues. I hope that the creators save all their content and might consider uploading them again.

    Can anyone recommend a good "Lemon" flavor ??

    These I've tried, and they all fade on me.
    Lemon Cake TFA-VZ-HS-NF-INA
    Lemon Cookie-TFA
    Lemon Meringue Pie TFA-CAP-FW
    Lemon Sicily FA
    Even the Lemonade wasn't good LA-FW-RF
    I absolutely love lemon, and some start out yummy, but then it's downhill from there.
    I haven't bought any flavoring for a couple of years, and I'm hoping they have a good one out now days with all the new company's that jumped in.
    Thought I should ask now ...while I can still buy flavorings
