I almost threw up south of heaven and lets not forget the head bangers all them]

What's that noise? Comedy and thrash, lol. I remember when that was the theme music for Headbangers Ball.

For a stretch in my life all I listened to was the really heavy stuff. I was with a group of people walking past some older guy sitting on a concrete retaining wall with an old acoustic beside him. One of the guys (lead guitar player) I was with started joking about old fogies and acoustics and made some comment to the effect of "only real guitar is a shredding metal solo). I was remaining silent at this point because the thing I noticed about the guitar was the wide fret board you expect for a classical guitar. The old guy picked up his guitar and I watched as the metal head's jaw hit the ground when he saw what 1 guitar could do.

The song:

Sorry for jumping into this thread late, but I really don't like the bad-rap that sub-ohm vaping gets.

I run 0.8 ohm (dual 1.6 genny coils) 100% of the time. That's 5.25 amps on a fully charged battery.
Nowhere near the manufacturer's recommended limit of 10A.

The real danger lies in putting too much stress on your battery, not dropping the multimeter below an ohm.

Just sayin'

I don't know how many times I've facepalmed reading from the point where I left off yesterday.

Single points in themselves are only somewhat useless. It's great when you get an array of points for comparison and figuring the trend for subjectivity reasons. *cough* Since I'm working on a way to model this, I'm going to have to find out what is ideal subjectively. I realized that this will be rather hard without modelling the entire atomizer/tank assembly with airflow. It isn't impossible, it's just pushing what I know I can do in the FEA.

And what's currently on my Pandora. I really like it. It's different.

Passion, did you say passion!!?

Yes, I like Zack Gill (keyboard)
Jack Johnson ft ALO - Girl, I Wanna Lay - Vidéo Dailymotion

I learned this lesson back in my late teens a buddy broke up with his girl and invited me to go with him to Huey Louis concert. I went because the Robert Cray band opened but I enjoyed seeing Huey live I still would not buy his music and will most likely change the channel if hes on the radio but he put on a good show ant they poured their hearts in to their music so it was fun to see him live.

There is something about live music that when played well, almost regardless of genre, is very enjoyable. Not a country fan in the slightest, but one of my favorite concerts was Clint Black at Paris in Las Vegas.

Anyone who appreciates the artistry and creativity of music can do it no matter what the genre.

My favorite bass player

I'd love to hear that from a better recording.

Cliff was the man. I sometimes wonder what Metallica would be if he didn't die. I just don't think they would have gone the direction that has some people calling them a sellout.

I was reading some music forum where some people were blasting him. Their issue seemed to be he wasn't a true bass player, just a lead guitar player using a bass. If you look at metal at that time most bassist were really just doubling the rhythm instead of playing a "true" bass line. Cliff played all three, frequently all in the same song. Look at my favorite Metallica song, "Orion". He seamlessly moved from one to the other throughout the song but his "true" bass portions were just more complex than most bass lines.

I know the mastering of Metallica's stuff back then made it hard to really hear what Cliff added to the music so just look up "Orion Bass" on youtube to see some examples of people doubling a bass style unlike anyone before him.
