my smok alien 220W. the second mod i bought after my first pico. it served me well with no hiccups (i know smok have a certain reputation but i've never had an issue with any of their stuff).
giving it free to a young guy at work who's trying to quit the smokes...along with some coils and a discount on some of my DIY liquid. hopefully he'll get some good use out of it...let's wish him the best of luck and welcome another to the fold

In order to keep this thing we have, we have to give it away.
elegantly put and quite right. paying it forward and all that.
have helped a few folks chuck the cigs...i'd like to think not in a preachy way.

Truer words never spoken, and yes, starting someone off on something new is always exciting, even if it's an ultimate fail. And I never know whether it's an ultimate fail... I first encountered vaping at LEAST six years ago, but it never "took." Not until I was ready.... So often INTRODUCING a vape, even if the person doesn't succeed, is very much food for thought down the line. I somehow knew that if I was going to quit, I'd have to REALLY try vaping, and I was shocked when it worked, but if I had not known about vaping, I'd probably be in really horrible shape right now.

So even if at first unsuccessful, everyone introduced to vaping or helped a long the way, even if you don't see immediate results, the option spreads outward in ripples (or so I hope). :)

What a lovely post... Until ALF. Is that some American beloved cultural icon, because I never could understand/get behind that show. And many others when I got here, like the "Bundy Show." How was that show funny, all the characters were horribly unlikeable.

Now "Malcom in the middle," LOL. My little brother was in love with the mom. I guess he liked her no nonsense attitude. That was a GREAT show, and the dad, the actor in that show? Really didn't get what an incredible actor he was until Breaking Bad. I've been meaning to rewatch that show, but it's so dark. But awesome.

I can say Jessie's catchphrase almost as well as him, though. :)

ALF...i mostly liked his feet... :rolleyes:
probably been 30 years since i've seen it...not from that side of the pond so unsure if he's held in high regard!
was a big fan of malcom in the middle though. that bowling episode where he gets all the strikes...classic.
ripples is a great way of describing it :thumbs:
i actually thought the other day if i'd even remember how to smoke...not going to try just to satisfy my curiosity.

Lots of American stuff is hard to understand when you aren't born here. Like Country Music, sports, comedy, politics, health care. Those are the ones that spring into my mind.

Love America though.

Now now, our foreign friend is right. Country music is often depressing and that can be confusing especially when you've heard how great America is. Then you pack up and move all the way over here only to hear suicidal love songs about a guy who didn't get the truck in the divorce?

Mick, you ever watch baseball? Yeah, this country actually thought that snooze feast is better than cricket!
