Yup iPhones can make a WiFi hot spot & share the LTE connection with any other WiFi device.
Save my .... many times when our internet goes out!
Teenage kids just can't survive with out WiFi not even for a little while

Not sure which OS offered hot spot first, Apple or Android. We got it as soon as AT&T offered it for our Androids.
As a former Dell-Doh I feel compelled to continue in my disgust for Apple, so no "I" anything in our household.

My kids showed me Apple makes superior products! I reluctantly switched to Apple computers & now after a few years. I totally agree with them!
I just upgraded my sons Mac Book, the old one is 7! years old. Only thing that ever went wrong was a fan. I changed it my self with a bit of help from "Ifixit"
We have had iPhones since the 3G, Rock solid!
You may not like their product for what ever reason, but you will never convince me!

Yeah, Ive heard that from a lot of folks, dont doubt it. I still like my Androids and Windows boxes better nonetheless. I guess its all in what you get used to. I think the Apple is harder to break, but its also harder to customize, and no Escribe unless you jump through a bunch of hoops.

When I got a new laptop a couple of years ago I plugged it in...
Had a friend remote in and transfer stuff from old.
Done

That be all I know

The limited knowledge I have about PC's was all Windows. I really didn't want to start over from scratch.
I'm glad I did thou. To be clear I never spent a lot, I got a Mac mini for as much as or less than a good Windows PC. I doubled the ram & it sits silently on my desk top & works!
No anti virus software, no blue screen of death, no constant updating, slowing me to a crawl when I just want to check my sites!
I had my fair share of bad experiences with PC's over the years, thats all over now

To be clear steamer, I never said I had a problem with their products, it's their business model that I didn't care for, the whole closed source code thing.
These days most Macs and the whole of the PC world are being manufactured in China anyway so I can't see quality being an arguable point anymore.
Back in the day before our Test Engineering group was closed at Dell you could count on your PC to live up to what you paid for; today, not so much.
I advised the higher ups that they were making a huge mistake by allowing China to create their own test platforms and warned them that Dell would be offering products no better than any other computer company if they adopted their business model. Long story short, they did it anyway and their stock sells for the same price as when I left them 18 yrs ago. <thumbs nose at Dell>

The constant quest for the newer and shinier.

Meh. I'm still using my KF5 and KM3 on DNAxxx mods that are 1-2 yrs old now. Every time I try a new atomizer, I'm not impressed and go back to the KF5. The Aromamizer Supreme works well but it's 25mm so it sits on one of my ERM+. I bought 2 Supreme Lites and they both leak at the o-rings for the JC. I replaced them and it didn't help.

I started on Macs and taught myself PC (dos and windows) when I started working on computers. I knew having only Mac troubleshooting skills would be limiting. I'm not a fan of the Apple ecosystem and have been screwed by iTunes once. I will never buy/own another Apple product again. It does nothing better than Android or Windows.

Thats what keeps them safer & working more trouble free.
To many cooks ruin the soup

Oh but it does! If your an advanced user, it does not, windows works just as good,Now!
But if your just Joe average computer user Mac's are more reliable & trouble free.
Mainly because of the whole closed source code thing.
Windows 10 is a huge improvement over past operating systems.
But if you were around in the M.E & Vista days, every os upgrade was a night mare!
Incompatible drivers & softwares

Ok So maybe some one has an explanation for this.
After 1 day of running the pharaoh with a single Ti 6 wrap 3mm coil @.24
Versus a Dual Ti 6 wrap 3mm coil @ .12 in a Supreme.
I'm using identical mods with identical batteries & identical E-Scribe settings
I have no scientific test just the same hit off each one repeatedly.
But after 1 day the battery voltage is identical on both mods!
It would seem the rate of discharge is the same, but how could that be with such a difference in coils?
The only noticeable difference is the single coil ramps up way faster.
I'm a little confused here, I thought for sure the single coli would equate to better battery life, But does not seem to be the case

 

[xpen]

yup! and while some products hang on longer than others it seems i finally have to break down and replace my laptop - now, if my name were steamer this would have happened 10 years ago [emoji38]
i've been surfing the web without av protection for years now relying on ff to keep me safe alas, comes september ff will no longer protect xp! with that in mind i've been looking for a replacement and was wondering what exactly is the advantage of getting a laptop with 4g lte connectivity? while i use a hot spot atm to get online data plans have been changing rapidly and it might become feasible for me to connect a laptop directly in the future. but how much speed is gained if i can bypass wifi? would i really notice a difference in my everyday browsing?
hoping somebody here will know! also, would those who keep an eye on sales remember me if/when they come across a deal and post a link?
your morning coffee depends on it!

Personally, I'd install Linux Mint (or Ubuntu) on that laptop and keep on using Firefox forever [emoji2]
Built-in 4G connectivity shouldn't be a deciding factor with a new laptop IMO, any vaguely recent smartphone will allow you to use Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/USB tethering for connecting to the 'net

Just watched it on iTunes
Powerfull! a lot more people should be able to see it!

I enjoyed it, I'm going to watch it again tonight. Most of it didn't have as big of an impact on me as it will with someone who is new to vaping or those who never vaped but that's to be expected, we have lived and talked this since vaping's early days. The main point that comes from the movie is what impressed me, it shows how BT, PH and the government is all in bed together and it's all because of money, they don't give a damn about people, only themselves. In that aspect, it was better then I thought it would be. I hope EVERYONE gets a chance to see it at some point, no excuse not to now unless you can't afford $10.

Yes they tell the truth! After they made their money off it, It would be nice to see it on a free platform like YT or even network TV! That way it would reach more people, even those who don't vape, mite want to know the truth! It could go along way to helping vaping's image

but i have no smart phone!
and unlimited plans are making a comeback att offers a stand-alone unlimited plan for their connected car at $20/month the mobley plugs into the obd port but, lo and behold, adapters are making an appearance!

I'd vape at a mirror and see if the wattage is approximately the same when the coils are at your setpoint temperature (and I'm assuming you are TC, same temp, same max watts). If the watts are similar, I'll guess the air flow on the Pharoah is better than the Supreme.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Steamer861]

All settings exactly the same in E-Scribe. The pharaoh has top & bottom Air Flow , I only use the bottom Air Flow.
The chimney is shorter & wider on the pharaoh, I would say it has more Air.

Personally, Steamer, if you like them just enjoy them...until the next "new shiny" shows up.

Speaking of "new and shiny", I'm still using Fogger 4.1's, Fogger 6s, 'FEV V3's, Bachelor's and Aromamier's, original and V2. They all work fine, for me, and I'm satisfied with all of them.

 

[Steamer861]

until the next "new shiny" shows up

If some one is happy with their set up, Thats great!

New & shiny isn't good enough! It has to be, Better.
I'm all ways on the look out, for some thing I think will be better than what I'm using now.
I don't buy expensive authentic's, So if it's a flop, in the drawer it goes & it's no big loss

I know this industry moves fast, there are way better products out there, than just like a year ago!
If there is some thing out there better than I'm using, I want it!
