I agree 1000%, hence why I used the word "illusion".

Nonetheless, as you said, that ship has already sailed. So why in the world would I want to make it even easier for them to track me by voluntarily sacrificing even more of what little shred of privacy I might still have.

Staying under the radar is a good thing in my book.......

Now, if I put my tinfoil hat on, this forum is most likely being monitored, and all of this is searchable to them if they choose to look for given keyword or phrase. I knowingly risk that and still voice my opinion!
Agree completely, so I fail to understand the incentive of trying to hide my attendance at a protest. I would rather it be recorded to show my support and simultaneously discourage fellow attendees from harming my cause by acting in a stupid & criminal manner that causes others to believe my group is not worthy of the change we seek.

We have already signed petitions to fight the FDA Deeming so the ship of privacy sailed already. You wrote your congressman daily for months, I fail to see why you would be reluctant to participate if you have to present ID at a pro-vaping protest. It is counter-productive & nonsensical IMO since your already on the ATF list from you previous advocacy.

I dropped the idea of Ti. Don't really need any more wire. My ni200 and ss coils last longer than my attention span and end up replacing them much sooner than I really need. I do have a few that are more than 6 months with no issues.

When I was 10, Pops bought a Honda Z50 MiniTrail for us 5 kids to ride at my Uncle's 2.5 acre wooded property. Beat the hell out of that thing most of my childhood, but it ran like a champ.

Gave it to my nephews when they came of age. Last time I saw them riding it it had a canteen strapped on it for a gas tank. Looked at my Brother in Law and shook my head and decided not to say a word. Some people just don't know how to maintain anything. They destroyed it in no time & ended up discarding it shortly afterward. Shame.

My friend had one and we would putt around his back yard (about an acre). He's the one that found the YZ80 I bought. It was from a friend of a friend and he threw in a Bell Moto3 helmet, gloves and a bunch of other stuff. I remember cutting a trail and there was a tree stump in the middle of one of the trails that he painted it yellow. A couple of hrs later when we started riding, he crashed into it :lol:.

Not mine but exactly like this. It was the first watercooled 80cc and the radiator was mounted in front of the triple clamps.

The 30mm Supreme is in the house :)

It fits wonderfully on my DNA133, The front over hang is minimal to non existent :)
It's huge! The deck is oriented a little different, the wicks cross, one coil tail on each side.
Not both tails on the same side like the 25 & The Lite
It seems to have more Air flow & the air flow is a bit smoother than the Supreme 25 & the Lite
I built 3mm coils in it & it's obvious you could go a lot bigger :) The JFC/Shut Off is on the bottom cap now.

I got it from FT for a bar-gin @ 29.04, but it's not the whole kit. It's just a 10 mil version, it came with no 5 or 20 mill extensions.
It did come with an extra glass & plenty of spare O rings & srews :)
First impressions are Great so Far!

Finally got my FT package 3.5 weeks from ordering.

The 25mm Aromamizer Supreme fits perfectly on the ERM+ with no overhang. Doesn't fit any of my other mods w/o overhang. The gunmetal color is beautiful. I cleaned and built it with 430ss single coil 3mm ID. Love the top fill and juice control. The AFC is nice too. There's a notch where the drip tip o-ring sits so the drip tip moves around a little. Vape is great. I've become a lung hitter lately and this works great for me. I've been vaping my KF5's at wide open and they've been great for slightly tight lung hits.

The Nitecore TIP flashlights are pretty awesome too. Highly recommend them for crazy bright keychain lights.

FT sale starts tomorrow. I might have to order another Supreme and a couple more TIPs.

Had my eye on one when I outgrew the z-50, but places to ride around here started succumbing to progress by then & it never happened.

They make a 23mm version to :) The Supreme Lite, FT has them.
The fit nicer on smaller mods :) They work as well as the 25mm :)

FT codes are live now, but ringing up at 15% off. Apparently they decided 20% was too much.

Going for a couple of Merlin's as per Steamers recommendation myself & maybe another Battlestar.

Defending "Vaping" is not the issue.

I take issue with the implication that if I am not willing to voluntarily give up my privacy - then I must be a criminal. I see a large distinction between "trying to hide" and "need to know".

Another concern is if I keep voluntarily giving up shreds of privacy, where does it stop - Moscow?

That never stopped me :). I grew up in River Vale (ny/nj border) and we had plenty of places to ride until the cops came. One cop stopped me 3 times in 1 day :lol:.

2ml. Too small. If they had a 4+ml tank I'd be in. My Supreme came with a 4ml and 7ml option. I don't think I'll ever use the 4ml section.

Just looked again and they have a 5ml section included!!!! Woohooo!!!! :D. I just looked at the title for capacity at first. FT sale starts tomorrow (might be tonight).

Fair enough. Not trying to tick you off nor to imply you were a criminal, quite the opposite actually. I hope you know that.

I got the email this morning, first 2 days 15% & then down to 10%
I can't find any thing I really want to buy :( I have an Air mouse & a knife in my cart, I searched the whole site last night. 15% off a 30.00 order isn't much :(

Who knows about sharpening stones?
Whats a good one to get just for general knife sharpening.
A 1000/4000? they have them on FT, I just don't know what # to get.

I use diamond whet stones for my pocket knives. Natural stones are far too easy to plug up with SS blades. The nickel in the stainless smears into the pores and renders the stone useless in minutes.
I've had this one for 5yrs.
