    Yea I guess you did pull a Burnie.



    Just do what you need to do, We'll Keep the Light On for Ya.

    Anyone tried these from Nicoticket, The Virus (H1N1), Wakonda, & Custard's Last Stand, I just ordered 10ml of each to try, need something different. I have been reading they will need steeped for a while, how long is the question and how did you like them? I know taste is subjective, just wanting to get an idea. I won't get them until the 1st as I'll be out of town from Thursday to Sunday on a short break (fishing).

    I was not a fan of The Virus, but not into bacco vapes, so can't help on that one, Wakonda I really liked, and found it good fresh, I didn't get a large enough bottle to steep it though, Custard Last Stand is a long steeper, minimum of 2 weeks steep, but really best on a 4-6 weeks for me personally, once turns a nice dark amber color, then it is really coming alive.

    Some NT juice already has a head start in steeping, just depends how old the batch is.

    Virus is my fav e liquid. Love CLS, too. Haven't tried Wakonda yet.

    Thanks for the input. Guess Christmas would be a good time to try them out. Will let you know what I think once I try them.

    There's a rule against lurking? :(

    "36 hour days" triggered a completely off-topic chain of thought. Look into polyphasic sleep cycles. It is borderline crazy, but done with moderation can yield great results. For about a year I slept 4 hours a day and never felt more awake. 1 hour after work, 3 hours before work. Takes some getting used to. You'll be a zombie for a week at least. Then 'something happens' and I was used to it to the extent I did no longer need an alarm clock. Wide awake all day, every day. When it was time to sleep, it was like someone flipped a switch. 20 productive, wide awake hours every day. Not like on my more regular schedule where I tend to be awake 17-18 hours a day and feel sleepy for at least 4 of them.

    I would keep doing it if it wasn't for my daily schedule getting shifted around. Mess up just a little for a few days in a row, and the whole system falls apart.

    Unless you're a glutton for punishment and possess the discipline of a zen master, skip the fabled 'Uberman sleep schedule'. Theory is that if you deprive yourself of enough sleep, your brain adapts to dropping straight into REM sleep. Uberman schedule is roughly 20 minutes sleep every 4 hours. People who stick to this schedule tend to sleep for 20-plus hours once every few months.

    I was totally pulling a page from your book by going into "lurk mode" :p .. I pulled a Burnie, and you pulled a Nikki :D

    Sigh .. just trying to keep my head on straight, and my schedule organized. I am in serious research mode right now and feel like I don't have enough time for anything. I am secretly wishing for 36 hour days :laugh:

    The Billet Box is really nice looking, and I love some of the color options available for it. But its bad on battery life eh?
    Glad you're doing well and just being like one of us (lurkers), I was beginning to think you didn't love us anymore. :cry: ;)

    Well, since she's not around I'll post a quickie of something she would never approve of. I've been using this FC combo a lot since I got it and allowing the Vanilla to patina naturally. (Translation: I'm too lazy to properly take care of copper/brass, so I just let it do its thing.)

    Sorry about the quality, the lighting is terrible at this time.

    This actually makes sense to me because I noticed that I wake up feeling fresher when I have slept 6 hours or less .. when I sleep 8 hours or more I feel like I just came out of anesthesia.

    You have told no lies because there nothing that I like about the tugboat RDA .. You have broken my sexy porn rules, yet I am too tired to even threaten you with a Pow Pow :laugh:

    That flag is so obnoxious :facepalm:

    I'm just the same. When this schedule worked for me I was more like "Hello world!" when I woke up. Which is extremely out of character lol.

    Thank you for at least thinking of Pow Pow. :D

    Here's something a little less obnoxious to make up for it, and a little something Darth Vaper might like.

    Does Focal have a GP Paps style mod?
    Hopefully one that has a good firing button!

    I'm looking for a SS Paps style to hybrid onto the SS Heron clone that I have. I searched focal but didn't see any.

    Once I find one , my brass Quasar can go back on my brass Paps.

    They do, type in paps and it should come up but keep in mind, you get what you pay for and I bought one. I still haven't been able to use it, threading is terrible and not quite right to hybrid.
