Evolv-ing Thread

I'm on day 11 on my first FreeMax Mesh Pro triple mesh coil and it is doing fine. I probably put 30ml or more through it and running it at 60 watts. I also ordered some SS mesh coils for it to use TC with the tank.

I got bored, so I vacuumed the house, can you tell? After vacuuming, still bored. So I watched some kayfun videos. Okay I'll trying Kayfun once again. Hopefully I'll like them this time. Ordered v5, one SS and the other in black.

In some ways I'm a bit disappointed with my DNA75C. It's not that important really but on the home screen the temp,ohms and wattage are not displayed in real time when firing. Of coarse it my be on another screen or theme. This is something I really like on the non C bards. Like I said, not really all that important.

Edit: Oh, the diagnostic screen.....not quite the same but it's there.

My wife says don't buy it, give me the money.

Two things against buying this other than the price, logo on bottom and plastic.

I canceled my $32 order at FT, it wouldn't ship for another week anyway. I'll order it again tonight at work and get the Hello2019 10% discount.
See, I am cheap after all.

I seen an ad in the classifieds this morning, some old fart is trying to sell a tube mod for $200+. Good luck with that.

Ah... I waited almost a year for someone to mention this. Yes this is true, but 75C/250C does show what happened after the fact. And to be honest, if I could have either a live display or what just happened all recorded, I'd take the latter every time.

Don't get me wrong, I love that live screen update and wished every mod worked that way. Luckily more and more are as time is marching on. And having a live screen update is really handy while you just stand there pushing the button. But it is practically worthless while you're actually vaping. Why? 99% of the screens are not in view while you are vaping. So you don't know what was going on during the live display anyway. So at the moment of truth, it tells you nothing!

Ah, but those 75C/250C actually records what happened. Even recorded what happened many puffs ago. This is far more valuable than a live display that you can't read anyway. That is one thing I really appreciated about EScribe's Device Monitor. But even that falls flat if a computer and an USB cable (in my case a working USB cable) isn't handy.

So here is where I really appreciate those 75C/250C features what the default theme calls Puff Info. My theme (Frank's) calls it Trend instead of Puff Info. Yes, I still do miss the live display. But if I could have one or the other, Puff Info is far more valuable. Don't worry, it just takes time to really appreciate it.

Well I'm too old to learn new tricks, I have been known to hit the fire button without taking a hit to see whats what.

You can do that too? Hell I ordered from both Gearbest and Fasttech on the 24th. Gearbest shipped my order just 12 hours later. That Fasttech order still hasn't shipped. How you people put up with this nonsense from Fasttech, I'll never know. I really hate ordering from FT as everything takes forever. While Gearbest ships my orders right away.

No doubt, me too even after all of this time using 75C/250C too. But having everything looking fine without airflow is one thing, but it all can go to hell while vaping. Don't worry. Live display is still there, it is just on another screen called Puff Info. You just have to stop firing to see it.

Live display is fine IF you happen to have a mirror handy and like to read backwards in the DaVinci method. I'll stick with Escribe or the recorder results in the C series if I'm really that concerned. Besides, that way I avoid having to stare at my own, ugly phizz.

Happy New Year, Evolvers!

So this high end mod that I bought didn't have the thermals done, I'm working my battery down to 25% so I might give it a go. Might end up doing it tomorrow evening so I can leave it set all day while I sleep (try to).
Made some peppermint juice tonight, not too bad.
My son's health care premium went up $60, I paid it for January already. Yesterday he enrolled through his work with the same provider but better policy. I had to provide them with written cancellation request, did that today (FAX). Told them I want a refund for January '19.
Was paying $363, now $69, Starbucks pays the rest.
