It's a blemish.... I can get a Polished Silver that's on sale because it's blemish... which to them means the slightest of scuffs... Or I can get a Satin Finish for the same price anytime.
Satin finish looks better IMO and doesnt show fingerprints. Polished is gawdy and shows every fingerprint. Go for the satin if u ask me... And get it now, lol. Youve been wanting one the entire time Ive known you, so just do it, lol

What I don't understand is why the Satin Silver is $159 and the black of the same model/etc is $179.... then all the other finishes are $179 (gold is even more)

Because the black has to be sent away for anodizing or oxide coating or plating, whichever it is they do. Those processes are almost never done in-house, and they tend to be expensive. Wish Rob sold oxide coated rm2's, Id buy one right now, lol. I keep checkin his site, still only brass and steel.

That's what I did with my REO bought a blemished one! I honestly don't see a blemish on it and I dropped it from standing onto the pavement yesterday all I did was loose a drip tip...I eventually found it. I did the same thing to an MVP and killed it and that was from sitting. I

ok I just want an opinion. do you think a small dripper and a regular size dripper are different vape wise. You know the small ego size ones vs regular size?

Depends. If your intent is to build multiple coils, bigger is probably better. With single coils, smaller chamber makes better flavor. Try several cheapies before you invest good money on one. Is your RM2 not to your likin?

You can do it Lav, you dont strike me as a quitter. Dont let it get you down, Ive been in so many jobs that I let get to me, and it just isnt worth it.

Im not a quitter, the hours are really the best I am going to get for the family for the summer but the stuff around work is just getting ridiculous, nevermind the people!

Satin finish looks better IMO and doesnt show fingerprints. Polished is gawdy and shows every fingerprint. Go for the satin if u ask me... And get it now, lol. Youve been wanting one the entire time Ive known you, so just do it, lol

I prefer satin to polished as well

Its the rm2 Im talking about, I swear it vapes different than my other two drippers or I just cant get it together with the mech part idk all I do know is its frustrating. Its user error!

I think if I ran my reo over, Id be more worried about my miata getting the rougher end of that deal, lmao. Definitely a mil spec device:)

Do you know how big the stock hole is on an rm2? If hole is smaller than 1/16th, itll respond better to slower draws and higher ohms. Vice versa with a bigger hole. 1/16th is perfect for an A7. Maybe Rob should look into makin a 2 peice cap like a kraken so airflow can be adjusted. Im lookin into a cyclone AFC from vicious ant, darned if I cant find one now though:(

Vaping Nicoticket Radioactive and I am actually having a hard time doing a review on it. I haven't had h1n1 but from descriptions I believe this either has the same tobacco in it or at minimum the same tobacco absolute. I say that because you get some of the similar flavors here and there, its not a changer per se its just that every now and then you get a little spiciness. The tobacco is a good earthy one backed with NT's very popular in house made vanilla. I get a creaminess but I think this may be the base that is used I have described it before as (to me of course) similar to VCV the way it feels when you vape it, the mouth feel but its not as heavy as VCv's full vg. This is a 50/50 but feels like its heavier on the vg which personally I really like. I don't know that it is THE vanilla tobacco Im looking for but I am pretty well convinced at this point that there isn't one. This one is very good though... its really good. This is actually the third time I have vaped it and at first as with the others it was super sweet to me but it has mellowed out. It is a sweet tobacco vape, earthy, great vanilla flavor. If that sounds good to you I suggest you buy it. I am really enjoying it this morning with my hazelnut coffee!

I think that's part of the problem my other drippers are dripped out and I think its making a warmer type vape but for the price it costs I don't want to take a chance on drilling it out. I am already using it at around 1.8 ohms that's pretty high. I went a little lower at first and it made things taste bad so I bumped it back up to where I typically vape at.

Burnt taste at lower ohms, havin to run 1.8 ohms to get things to taste right is an indication to me that the hole is too small. I like mine at 1/16th, those who lung hit usually like bigger. Get a small kit of drill bits, and start with the next size up from the one that fits the hole the best. Test it out, drill bigger if necessary. If its stainless steel, turn the drill slowly, like 2500-3000 rpm. Take your time and be patient and itll come out perfect.

So I just loaded my reo up with royal tease from AHL. Spot on ambrosia salad. I usually dont do coconut, but this one is really good and the coconut is very subtle. Its fruity and pleasant without being cloying at all. Also, overall flavor is very bold. Lots of maraschino cherry and mandarin orange, coconut in the background, just like the real thing. I doubt this one will be getting swapped out and capped up, it suits the weather we're havin here in KY:)

i believe it is 1/16th.


and lav, if you're getting a burnt taste, possible you're using too much cotton and the wick is choking it? i've had really good luck with micro coils and a little bit of cotton. i've never even made a normal coil on my reo..



and. i was bad. i ordered more honey pearry, and some unicorn poop.

How exactly is planning to torture someone any better than him doing what he did to your friend? Not trolling, being serious here. I never understood the math in violence resolving violence :/
Resolve? Not to resolve anything Em. That guy was/is a predator. No telling how many times he has done that. Or how many times he will do it again unless he is caught. he used a fake name so no, they haven't caught the guy. I was and still am angry at what he did to my friend. I want revenge. See, I said I knew it sounded awful.

Lol, it frustrate sthe crap outta me too. Its not a disorder to get repulsed by gross behavior or lack of manners, its just bein civilized. Which a lot of folks have forgotten how to do...

Very interesting. I thought I was just over sensitive to it. Turns out, I have a mental disorder :laugh:

Nope, Rin is right, it's called misophonia (was too tired to think of the name last night) but it's an irrational reaction of fury when people chew too loud, among another noises. I also am sensitive to the loud jarring noise of those public rest stop toilets that sound like a plane is taking off. Sooo loud!

I think many times it can be traced to their mother. I found this to be true when I was young and dated a couple guys who started showing tendencies to be abusive. I got out before it ever got there, thankfully.

My girls roll their eyes at me but I advise them to pay attention to a mans relationship with his mother. If he hates her...RUN. If they are too close, he's probably going to be a whiner and you will never be as good as her in his eyes and you will never be good enough for him in her eyes. There needs to be a healthy balance.

There are always exceptions, of course.

This. is. so. true. I was in an abusive relationship and the guy and his mother had very very bad relationship as well. Apparently he grew up with a lot of violence in the home.

Yes, the reputable online dating sites will warn that on the first meeting, only do so in a well frequented place & part ways there the first time. If that's a problem with anyone, then the person likely isn't worth meeting.

Also, both parties should agree on background checks, it cost only $50 (less for one search) & may save your life. Or one may have something to hide, like paying alimony/child support or may be known as a scammer. Lots of stuff can be found out for free, it's just best to get the data all in one nice package.

Of course, it's safer to date locally, there's places to meet good people, but still do a background check.

Thankfully in my state I can just go to a website and search court records. I don't think all states have that though.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I met my wife when I was eighteen. I had lied about my age to get a job running a nite club. Met her and did not tell her my true age for months, and by that time we were all ready in love so she could not dump me lol. We have been married for 20 years this August. I have never ever considered leaving her. Not to be a jerk but I honestly don't know what she would do if I was not here. She needs a lot of help doing normal things and I don't resent her at all for it. We said for better or for worse and we both really meant it. Never really have had a big argument. We ..... and moan and can be snippy with each other all the time, but I have never once gone to bed angry with her. We talk, we communicate our feelings and we accept that neither one of us is even close to being perfect.

I know that when we have a busy day that she is going to be grumpy the next day because of pain. She has such a positive personality and even though she is in constant pain she finds a ton of joy in life. I met my soul mate when I was young and was smart enough to grab a hold of her and not let go. Watching her in pain is the hardest thing in my life. I will support her any way I can, and always will.

We had run out of options with no one wanting to touch her back and was told that opiates were her only option, but we have finally found a great Dr. even though he is two hours away. He has tried things that no one else was willing to and has made her quality of life much better.

Alright now, I want to cry. I guess love does exist (although I think it's quite rare). You are fortunate to have found it.


Good morning all :wub:
