Puff - OH the images that conjured up! A chihuahua shivering on the porch contemplating the leap over the fence watching the pack leader blowing away the only chance he/she has for escape.... LOL!

Malaga - with a name like yours, I shoulda known! Are you puti? Cano? Ah, the joys of marriage... Congratulations and watch the weight! My asawa always seems to have napaka maraming pagkain flowing my way!

Ah, there's Whiskey - you're back!
Haha magaling ka sa tagalog! Pagkain ni Pinas = masarap talaga! Haha im still learning their language, and it doesnt help she also speaks a completely different dialect in her province...but I couldnt gain weight if I tried. While I was there I always ate 3 times a day with a huge serving of rice with every meal...and I'm still a buck 25...oh and im not puti or amerikano...ako ay Giliw! haha thats what she calls me...hey by the way, do you order blank cartos from bloog? Everytime I start using a new carto, the first like 10-20 drags taste strange...not exactly burnt, but strange...

Malaga - yes, I do order blank Bloogs -and pre-fill Kamels since that's what my wife likes.... Strange taste? Hmmm, generally, all new cartos taste a little off at first, until they're fully wicked and the capillary action begins... for new cartos, you should put one drop down the center hole, blow it out and let it sit for a bit. also, not sure if you're aware, but these Bloogs hold so much liquid compared to others, like 36 drops (best guess from actual practice) - or about the equivilent of 1.5ml. You should top off, shake, batt end away to 'compress' the juice, top off, shake - once wicked, the taste is very good... I've heard that some people underfill their carts out of the bubble wrap and this has a tendency to deliver a dry burn taste initially until wicked.

Hmmm, I've been putting 20 drops in...maybe that and giving it a little more time to wick might solve the problem...maraming salamat po! :)

you and me both brother

Confused about the filling-a-cartos discussion or confused about the Tagalog (language)? :)

I have a pack of older cartos and some of the newer CE2 (but rev3 not rev4) that I haven't used yet. I guess because I got hooked on dripping and also use bottom feeders. I really do need to try out some of the newer cartos (including the clear tank ones, etc). If anything, the regular Joye 510 ones were too airy for me.

Well, I said "My Wife" keeps tons of food coming my way, and he said, 'haha, you're good at tagalog' followed by pinoy food is VERY good but, he still doesn't gain weight -- sorry for the confusion...! During the last post, he said 'Many Thanks, Sir...'...

Just thought I'd have a few laughs, I am fluent in about 8 languages!.... '-)
