EVERYONE is taken! Isn't there substantially more women on this planet than men? It's not fair. That's starting out with a disadvantage

my wife never appreciates the quality of vape i give her. its one of those relationship things where you take it for granted i guess lol

she can't be bothered to keep her hana mini charged, let alone change her cotton or clean her taifun tank out. i guess im just weird and enjoy it

you talking crazy girl...

haven't had a problem with my taifuns at all. it's only when ive been using the magma for a day straight or longer do I realize the taifun flavor i thought was great just isn't good enough for some of my juices. this pineapple/grapefruit is a very good example of this.

if you like the protank you should rebuild those heads with micro coils at about 2 ohms and cotton

Well, I just got the Taifun so yeah... The problem I'm having with RBA's in general is the wicking material. I have yet to find the perfect thing... Everything has some issues with it. ReadyWick is good for reusing because you can burn it clean again but it's not absorbent. Cotton is great for absorbing but causes issues with my throat and lungs. Bamboo is good but only in Protank heads. (it's thin so it doesn't work so great for things you need a thick wick for) Hemp has a strange flavor and doesn't wick well. Silica, I don't care for the flavor (mutes it).
Like in my Taifun, ironically my best build was my first build but when refilling juice, the stupid sleeve that moves up and down, moved. When it moved it messed up my coil... so I had to redo it. The second coil wouldn't even fire on my Provari (OP error). 3rd build, I'm not sure about. I tried it right after I built it and it was bleh... So I figured maybe the wick needed to saturate a little. I haven't tried it since. (that was with ReadyWick)

the magma and quasar can both be set of for single coil

actually, both of mine are setup now with single coils. the magma has 3 air holes. the quasar uses the cyclops air hole that gives you a lot of options.

I will have to look it up.
I visited a little B&M I didn't even know existed today. Super nice flirty guys, and the better choice of Juice in the area I think. I don't know why none in our are do regular brands but oh well that's what the internet was made for lol! I understand they are trying to run a retail store but $80 for a magneto is pretty steep. I did however get to handle one and that fire button is like butta. I'm leaning more toward the brass now after seeing them in person. None had seen a REO in person though and one customer got the name of the company. I think after the prices in that shop the REO looked like a steal! I saw a very common sold $100 mod there for $180! No authentics either all clones that I saw. Most shops at least carry a couple. The only 2 I saw was the magneto and the Kamry epipe, but I may have missed something. I did not like that they had herbal vaporizers also

Our organization is "No Kill" and we petition our commissioners to make our county a NO KILL shelter. We educate people on spay/neuter. We educate people on who they are voting for and what they stand for as far as animal shelter reform. It is mind boggling how many animals are put to death in shelters because somewhere, sometime, somebody decided it was alright to euthanize.

The place i was at was no kill... so we had people "foster" the pets in situations like that. It's really sad because there were so many cats I wanted to take. I swear I'm going to be that old lady with 1000 cats and no man.

beautiful boy!

Just because I don't want to feel left out from the animal discussion, :) I present to you our new rescue cat, Sutter (yes, named after Kurt Sutter of SOA fame). He's mostly Russian Blue but we believe he has some Maine .... in there too! About 9 months old so we still get to experience the kitten playfulness before becoming a young adult. We LOVE this freakin' cat. Too much, possibly!

Cranky taught me something that might help here-bottom fill your Taifun

today a coworker said "is Lisa out smoking her radio"? lol (my MVP)

nick's blissful brews-smoked custard, it's pretty good, kinda what you'd expect, a custard with a little tobacco, nice throat hit, don't know if i'd get it again though. they also sent a free bottle of must vapes pencil

I got Pencil too! It's fantastic...wow!

My other kids all rescues in one form or another. One cat was a shelter the tuxedo one Jack. The other cat Cairo the blond calico I found as a kitten all by itself outside. The Russian tortoise Tuck my vet I used to work for gave to me knowing I would take care of him and could give him the extra care and attention needed. The previous owners didn't take care of him correctly and it led to some issues most of which have be resolved now.

aw....i'm so jealous! I love turtles, and your cats look like such buds ;)

Dan1boy's cat is so beautiful too, so silver

so i put the battery back in the nemi, i hadn't touched it in ages because i hate fiddling with stuff, it works! I think i just didn't press the switch hard enough before :facepalm: :oops:

It's heavier than the MVP though with this 25600 battery-kinda wish i didn't have to press the button this hard to hit it though, is that normal?

next i want something smaller, like the stingray

Thanks!

Have a good night, all. I'm off to bed.

Jonathan. Is there a fast food place that you and your gf don't like? Hehe

Yes, until they got cantina bowls, my GF hated Taco Bell. Zaxbys is pretty high grade fast food, I dunno what to compare it too. We arent much on indian food, love chinese and thai and japanese, but I dont like mcdonalds or those kinds of places. At 4:30 AM its one of those "any port in a storm" deals, lol. Cant stand white castle, that place is gross. And if your palette doesnt freak out on you, your stomach will let you know that white castles arent really food, lol

I definitely prefer the SB over space jam line

Yep. I got there right before the store closed. She let me try all the SB and SJ juices. While all were good solid juices, only Derailed and Mother's Milk were in my wheelhouse. So I picked them up. Could see both of these being in regular rotation from here on out.

She's trying to get 5 pawns, AVE and a few others to add to her store. As of right now she has:

Acrae Vapour
Ben Johnson's Awesome Sauce
Caterpillar E-Juice
Central Vapors
Evolve Liquid
Freemason's Elixir
Halo
Mr. Good Vape (love Dabble Dooyah)
NiQuid
The Vaping Rabbit
The Vapor Room
Virgin Vapor
World's Finest Vapors

I didn't get to try them all since there's so many choices, but if any of you Gourmet pros can recommend which I should try next??
