They’re also useful for blocking open doorsWelcome to ECF
Finally ,something Smok is useful for!
Welcome and glad you joined.I would like to thank Smok for the short lifespan of their replacement coils. I have now changed over to RDTA. Much better flavor and clouds and P/U a much needed hobby of coil building. Only a month or so and I am making framed staple coils with no sweat.
Lucky I get 2-4 months out of Smok Prince coils. Welcome!
My stepmother grew up in rural Germany. Real candles were required for a proper Christmas. It’s what I got for most of my upbringing. You were right though.Congrats and welcome.
They could make good Christmas tree ornaments… on a fake tree. The real ones burn up fast. My mom went through a "real candles" phase. I think she thought my habit of sitting near the door with a fire extinguisher was not in the Christmas spirit. We had to agree to disagree.

that’s cut trees. It’s why you need to use a live oneYeah yeah I know the darn precautions.
But just like a smok mod, even if you do everything RIGHT it's just all fun and games and shadows...……. Until your whole family DIES in a fiery inferno.
It takes 3 MINUTES for most trees to combust ENTIRELY. THREE. That's all the tinsel and flying shrapnel ornaments and everything else.
Hmmm... Germany would have data on fires from candle based Christmas trees. They still use em.Good luck to Germany.
Of course, I always wish Germany luck (we adopted the habit while living in Strasbourg France) they really had a Lot of BAD luck for a long time.

They are ridiculously heavy. We had a small two wheeled sort of wheelbarrow that they lived in even when lit. You can’t plant them till spring but they will stay alive dormant in their root ball for a good long time if they aren’t exposed to temperature shocks. They’re still pretty delicate. It’s a pine tree thing.My mom never got live trees. We got one once for the kid's sake because he thought it was "cruel". It weighed eleventy jillion pounds. It wasn't even super big. We planted it in the yard and it had snowed, so the ground was like concrete.
it died.
So tree environmentalists.... You can do that again if you want. When we got to Tucson for many years, we had a Christmas cactus and it was small, easy to deal with and SO much better (the boy got obsessed with cactuses (no candles) and it was fantastic.

that might have been true. It’s a breed and temperature thing. Some pines don’t go dormant, and most of the rest need to be below a certain temperature for a certain amount of time to do it. Rarely a problem where I liveYes we knew little about live trees, actually the TREE dude told us to plant if after 3 days or it would die.
He probably wanted us to buy cut trees in the future.
To be fair "cut your own Christmas tree places can be kind of magical." My choice never one out. I always wanted the lopsided one with moss and stuff on it because it looked dada.
I never got my pick
The good news IS, unless my kiddo presents me with a kid and then dies, I never have to deal with one of those suckers again. Let us face it, they aren't fun to deal with.
