morning, willy! ;) all we can do is ride it out!

Morning tibs! :)

Yup, gonna be bumpy but we'll get past it. We are fortunate that we have our daughter and grandkids in the house right next to us. Later today when my wife is home we're all getting together for a meal and then we will be making lists, lists of things we each need to do and plans for the short term future. Once we get lists we can prioritize them. Having a plan with a starting point will make everyone feel better, no more "What are we going to do?" We can always adjust as we go.

I'm lucky I stocked up on vape juice just last month, I bought a big batch of my favorite juice to last me six weeks because USPS has been sometimes taking two weeks to deliver an order form CA to NY, they lost one package (just one 100ml bottle) that I never got! I don't know what the heck is going on with the postal system but it's got really bad the last six months or so, now I'm afraid delivers will be even worse!

Many of us have plenty of VG around. Also hand sanitizer is hard to find. So is aloe vera gel.

I got this off the WHO website, they had a 10L recipe for hospitals, so I scaled it down to 1 or 2 liter batches. I added a few drops of some essential oil for fragrance.

Well my wife called a couple hours ago and asked if I felt good enough to run down to the village and see if they had our brand of cat food, she can't find it anywhere in the city. So I ventured out, (whew, I'm sore now), it was an experience, to my surprise there was a lot of stuff not to be found in the cleaning supplies and they were very low on TP with a sign one package per customer. I did find the cat food, was going to grab one handi wipes only because I keep one on my desk and it's almost out, none, not at the dollar store, hardware or grocery store. But I remembered there might be a small one under the seat of my Jeep, yup found that and they are still wet after a year plus lol.

I grabbed an extra gallon of bleach, jug of ammonia and big bottle of generic dollar store brand counter top spray, wasn't sure what mama had stocked here at home so I figured grab it in case, if nothing else I'll use some if it in the garage. Between all that we'll fine, Mom use to mix up her own household cleaners when we were kids, I'm sure that info is out there on the web to be found.

That reminds me, my sister reminded me, "Remember when we use to brush our teeth with baking soda sometimes when we were kids?" She was right, we did, I had forgot. Old ways worked and we got by just fine, we forget those ways with all the convinces we have these days.

I like the VG mixture Mike, I'm gonna try that. I started using a little plain VG on my hands during the winter months and I haven't had that darn cracking skin around the nails since. That VG really does make your skin feel soft.

And to you, Mr SlickWilly.

I'm thinking of running back to the store to grab a corn beef brisket and a cabbage, my wife doesn't care for but I fix in for myself every year. This is the first year in a long time that I wasn't ready for it, between the back problems and all this virus mess I completely forgot.

@TrollDragon You in the testing group for this?
Looks like some nice tweaks, just wondering if it's worth the upgrade?

No I wasn't in the group but it looks excellent, I didn't think they could actually improve on the Plus but they did. Mix and match compatible with the OG Plus (decks and glass), more capacity, mesh deck, chimney reducer etc. With the JFC now above the airflow there is a squonk pin for the mesh deck for when you are in RDA mode.

I plan to pick up the advanced kit but it will be $100 landed in Canada, so I'll wait for the sales.

I alienated the fanboys and attracted the odd troll by this post in another thread about how over StreamCrave i am after they couldnt follow through on what they promised me years ago, and STILL make you buy the kit plus a separate deck if all you want is a single deck Aromamizer...which to me is the wrong way to do things, and shortening your customer base, but thats just me..... but no it wasnt because at the time other people were asking them for a dedicated single deck, and got fudging silicone plugs

I was always like shut up and take my money, oh you wont make a proper single deck

And now they do but you have to buy it as an option...wtf?? Who is doing your marketing?

Anyways to quote myself:

Meh Steam Crave are still dead to me from years ago when i asked them if they would release a single coil deck, as they were missing out on customers, "yes" they said, i said "i mean a proper single coil deck, not that silicone nonsense" (back in those days dual coil atty makers where sending silicone plugs in RTA kits to block off one side of the deck and airflow), they replied "yes a proper single coil deck". Months go by, and then, you guessed it, a silicone plug....

Strike one....

Even now, they make you spend even more money to get one, why isnt it the default deck, and anyone silly enough to want to blow through juice like crazy pay more for a dual coil or mesh deck. Madness, theyre missing on customers, whoever does the marketing at SC is failing them badly...

Thats the reason, as much as ive always wanted one, i aint buying a single coil one in the convoluted, and more expensive. way they make you buy one...

Strike two...

Theres only so many times you can point out to a company theyre missing out on customers by doing things that are bonkers

I'm having a bit of a hard time following what you're trying to say here?
SC is the only company that releases upgrades to their line! Everyone else will have you buy a whole new atty for every little reiteration!
I'v run big single coils on my Plus's since the beginning, I bought the single coil deck when it became available just cause it's easier to build a single coil on it! a single coil has & still does working fine on the postless deck :)


I plan to pick up the advanced kit but it will be $100 landed in Canada, so I'll wait for the sales.

I guess I'l pick one up also, after the whole Covid thing blows over. I'm very happy with my Plus's so unless there is a major flavour improvement? I don't see my self upgrading all of my Plus's.

What i was trying to say was that they still make you buy the kit, and then if you just want a proper true single coil deck, you have to buy it as an option

Why not make that "optional" tank the default one and make anyone wanting to chug through their juice at a million toots an hour fork out for the decks they put in there by default now...think they'd sell more....

Why would i fork out all that money for the kit AND turn around and fork out even more to get a basic single coil setup, is my overall point, thats madness, its not cost effective for anyone wanting a normal single coil Aromamizer

Plus they promised me that exact thing over 2 years ago, so you know, dead to me...

Always wanted one, but will never buy one until they sell it in a cost effective way

I can buy like 3 single coil RTA with proper single coil decks for that money, why the hell would i give them the same money....for a backwards package with components id never use

I don't like buying kits with extras I don't want or need! I would rather buy the accessories I want & will use! The whole "Supreme" line are cloud chuckers that use a ton of juice, Even with the single coil deck!
If your looking for a more economical on juice atty. the Supreme's are Not for you :)
