Might as well talk to all you folks about my new toy since I can't watch TV. Looks like all I'm going to get tonight are weather reports. Oh well, guess that's just life in Tornado Alley.

Got home tonight to find my new Lea Kross in the mailbox. Only had it a couple of hours, but so far I'm impressed! My other PVs are pen styles, RN4072 and DSE801 so I really don't have a lot to compare to, but I'm very pleased with this. TH is great, in fact a little overwhelming. It draws much easier, and I'm deliberately drawing on it for less time while getting better TH, more vapor, and better flavor than I'm used to. The strange "new" taste I've experienced with my other PVs is so little I'm not even really sure it's not entirely my imagination. I think it's very attractive and also quite comfortable to hold.

This is my first experience with both cartomizers and manual batteries. I did also order a syringe for filling it, mostly just to up my order to qualify for White Stag Vapor's free shipping. I'm glad I did. It was fairly easy to fill and seemed to hold a good amount based on how much I took out of the bottle. The manual battery still throws me sometimes. I go to draw and get nothing only to realize I haven't pressed the button. I think I will like the manual battery better once I get used to it since I've noticed some, not much, unintentional activation of the automatic ones. I'm thinking that should make this one last longer.

Also my first experience using a pass-through charger, which I'm doing now. I plugged the battery in to charge and the light went green immediately then turned off so it seems the thing shipped pre-charged. I think I will really like that the battery signals its strength. No more guessing how close I am to needing to recharge. Since most of my workday is spent at a computer I figure I can leave it plugged in while at my desk and just unplug it when I want to take it out with me. Should be much better than carrying around 2-3 spare batteries, especially since I walked out of the house one day last week and forgot my spares! I think I will look into getting a second battery once White Stag has them in stock again. Currently they show out of stock in all colors.

The hard case it came in will fit in my purse, even though I really don't need to take much besides the unit and charger. Don't really need the adaptors and extra cartomizers, but it will make a good way to keep it protected. I'm really very pleased with this so far!

Sirens just sounded so guess I should take a look at what's going on outside and pay attention to the weather reports.

Hey there DevilWoman...are you still with us? And in what state this morning? lol! I know it's a serious thing when sirens go off....hope you're ok. It shouldn't take you too long to get used to pushing the button to get a drag...took me all of 5 seconds. What my problem was I kept forgetting to take the condom off the carto before trying to take a drag.:oops:

Hang onto your PV, both hands! and if you do end up somewhere else by morning just remember to close you eyes and click your heels together 3 times and repeat, "There's nothing like Vaping..."

I love it! I'll remember that! They're telling us to expect another round of storms tonight.

Still here in the heart of Tornado Alley. We had a couple of mesocyclones that never touched down, and at least one tornado that only made contact with the ground briefly and in an area with nothing much to damage. The news did report two people injured by hail. One station showed a hailstone in someone's hand that spanned the entire hand, from the base of the palm to the fingertips! I've never in my life seen hail that large. I stayed up later than normal waiting on word that my area was clear of the dangerous part of the storm. Then when the alarm went off this morning it was raining and hailing again! News reported at one point 80,000 people without power, but luckily I was not one of them. They did report 80 mph winds and the very large hail. Hopefully the storms tonight will pass through early so I can some sleep.:D

The other issue I had this morning with adjusting to the manual battery is that this one has a shut-off to prevent accidental activation in a pocket or purse. I'd shut it off to put in my purse then got it out again while waiting on the rain to let up and tried to draw on it with it off. Duh! I do think I will definitely like the manual battery better once I'm used to it. Pretty much though I'm still very pleased with my new toy, although I am thinking it might be nice to have some sort of container for the liquid that holds more. This is a bit more time-consuming even just to check levels as I have to remove a little plastic stopper. Anyone have any ideas what else I might try with this?
