Anyone a fan of the show Ax Men? See tonight show? There was a 82 year old man been cutting trees all his life still out there working side by side with all the younger guys, work I couldn't have done in my 20's! Trekking through some really rough area with a big chain saw slung on his shoulder, they were cutting down HUGE trees then he was climbing up on top of them to buck them up. And get this, he lost his leg cutting trees in his younger days, would have never known if he hadn't told the story. What an inspiration! Amazing man! Man he puts me to shame.... If you want to see it, it's on the History channel, season 10, episode 8 titled "Man Down"
Watched "Charged" last night on Prime, the story of Chef Eduardo Garcia who was hunting in the backwoods of Montana and came across a dead bear in a metal pipe. The pipe was a electrical feed box that was unsecured and still live, he got hit with 2400V. He lost a hand, ribs and had many entry/exit wounds from the electricity, quite the road to recovery, worth a watch.

A friend of my wife it going to go to Tahiti in around 8 more days and ask me to buy some vape related stuff for her nephew over there. The main item is an Ijoy Captain Resin 234 watt starter kit. I could only find 3 places that still had them in stock. $75 at Element Vapes but only $60 at StrikesUSA so I ordered the one for $60. I'm thinking "how much was that at Element again" and I go check and they had lowered the price to $45.

About three years ago when I saw one of our China suppliers selling those silicone balls I wondered what the heck they used them for, that's when I discovered this "wax". I found a video of a guy showing how he extracted and made the wax, he stuffed a glass tube, about inch and a half in diameter with the green stuff, poured in solvent, solvent like used to thinning auto paint and let it soak. Then he dumped the liquid into a baking pan and let it set for 24 hours, it bubbled as the solvent evaporated leaving the thick goo, I can't believe people would ingest that stuff thinking it's safe, there is no way all the compounds of that solvent would just evaporate, but hey some people will spray paint into a paper bag and huff it so I guess there are people will do some real stupid stuff just to get high. What happen to rolling your own?

Big tobacco is padding pockets in government (FDA) and the media to make vaping look bad, then they'll swoop in and claim only their vaping products are tested and proven safe, which is what they claimed about cig's 50 years ago. Remember when BT used doctors to endorse their cig brands? I do.

It seems to me to be more the one type product than the other.
But they want to make sure that we get our black eye before one reads the whole article.

What I heard on the news yesterday was these were ALL people who vaped THC <--(Edit, blocked me but yeah, that stuff), not some but all cases.

I ordered 3 items from Element Vapes a little after midnight this morning and got a tracking number for that order number around noon. Just got another tracking number for the same order number. Could it be they split the order or did they mess up and send me double merchandise. Nothing there interests me though, it's for someone else. Just stange, it peeks my tracking OCD.

Remember the Sigelei zmax minis ?
Well...maybe someone in here can help...
I searched the Forum like crazy and Google too.
I got some Smok zmax minis on clearance for $3.99....just cause they were $3.99 - and colors !
One of them doesn't work
It reads 0.0o no matter what I do and no matter what I topper put on it.
I can go through the menu...reset things...supposedly set at 7.5 watts...nada
Won't fire. 0.0o



...and yea, it's a girl thing...the pretty blue/lavender one is the one not working :cry:
