Well that is interesting, and awesome. Thanks for telling me that. So you can do that with Win10 too? It sounds too good to be true.

Yeah , he covered every setting in record time , The linux installation program has an option to install alongside , you click on the drive and a sliding bar let's you adjust how much disk space you want each to have , the installer set's up the dual boot based on those settings . The only reason I dual boot is for some games I have on Windows , everything else get's done under Linux .

    It can be done with W10 , you'll have to disable fast boot or secure boot whichever your system has before installing linux , if you're using UEFI you'll probably have to reset it to point to the linux bootloader at some point , W10 updates tend to reset everything , W10 wants total control . I keep W10 on a seperate hard drive and use the linux bootloader to make my choice , I keep the linux hdd ahead of the windows hdd in my boot order so W10 can't pull any stunts .

    It's 10 degrees here right now, with the windchill making it feel like 2 according to the weather people... however, our thermostat is saying its 12 outside here, so maybe our holler is a little warmer or not as much wind..

    All in all its not too bad, although for some reason even though I have the heat set at the same temperature as always it seems colder in the house atm.

    I need to shower, but I haven't come up with enough courage yet to brave what it's going to feel like stepping out of the warm water to dry off.. lol.

    I'm sure there are others in much worse shape though. .. as 10 isn't so bad really..

    Good Morning Army. Been looking at some new vaping gear, and I am thinking Squonkers and Electronic Boards maybe not so good. Might look into tanks, but the good ones cost more than the mods these days.
    As far as cold goes, if you do not know what a "Frost Heave" is, count your blessings. A frost heave is where it gets so cold that underground water freezes, and lifts the soil above it. This make driving on two lane surface roads very uncomfortable. Now imagine the underground water freezing,and when it lifts the soil above it the City Water Main ruptures. Of course, this all happens after a 'warm front' has passed through and dumped a foot and a half more snow on the ground. I used to drive in the Northeast a lot, and there is a area in western Vermont even the local drivers call "the ice box". It could be -10*F, with a wind chill of -35*F, and they would tell you "You should have been here last week when it really was cold !" The term "grill cover" refers to something that goes across the front of your truck to keep the engine from freezing.
    And in the Carolinas, anything below 60*F is considered cold.

    Have a Safe and Blessed Day :)

    Hello... why do you think squonker and electronic boards are not so good?

    I was on the waiting list for one over at VapeAMP (short for Vaping American Made Products...its a RIG Mod) but it came through when I really spent all I could spend at Christmas so I didn't get it yet... but I do really want it still...

    So I am curious why you think the two dont mix?

    I have some REOS that leak at the 510 connector, and some that don't.
    After looking at the video of the Lost Vape Therion (yes, I actually watched a vaping video), I noticed that to change the battery you have to remove liquid bottle and feed tube. Only a removable spacer separates the two. Then the electronic board is behind the battery. Inside a molded plastic plastic body.
    Removing/ replacing that feed tube is going to eventually cause it to stretch. Where as the feed tube on a Grand/ P67 is glued on. There is a refill bottle system, and I suppose that helps, but you still have to remove the onboard bottle to access the battery.
    Maybe today I might look at HCigar VT Inbox 75C....

    Interesting... I don't have a reo and have never squonked so I dont know all the potential problems with having a board in the same mod as a squonk bottle...

    Someone once said they might send me a reo they didn't want but that didn't pan out, and of course I can't afford one myself atm.. So I don't know much outside what I've read.

    It's not that I feel uncomfortable with a mechanical squonker, I'll never stress a battery God knows, but a good mechanical squonker that doesn't have problems with a hard short is a bit out of my price range (such as the reo) - this year anyway. I spent all my extra vaping budget stocking up on provaris this last year and 2018 is not shaping up to be a great year financially. ..

    I was still hoping at one point to get a squonker though and the regulated ones are a bit cheaper... but if the board is going to fry because of ejuice then it's not worth the investment in one.

    Anyway, let me know what you find out as far as deciding which regulated squonkers don't have that problem. ..

    I guess it depends on what you are looking for. Kanger makes a VW Squonker called the Dripbox160, and it can be had, RBA and all, for about $50.
    I am looking more into Temperature Controlled Devices. And I've been told that the TC function on the Dripbox can get a little wonky. There are a couple of Reonauts I've seen posting how much they like the Dripbox, and I am guessing they just set up the VW feature and go with it.
    I am looking more at the Evolv chip combined with a squonker. They cost a little more (because the Evolv is better) but I haven't seen a mod design I like yet...

    The HCigar gets good reviews. My only advice is get a DNA if you're going to do TC. I still love my JAC.

    The Lost Vape Therion gets great reviews, and the DNA chip is part of it. I just don't personally like the design. The Kanger Dripbox has a Great Design, but a lesser electronic board. The HCigar Inbox puts the bottle next to a vented chip compartment, not a fan.
    I am sure there is a happy medium somewhere.

    EDIT : Lost Vape Drone BF 167C looks good...

    The JAC looks really good. But, to get a top-shelf vape you spend $70 on the mod, then over $100 for a Svoemesto Kayfun or a HoH Kabuki.
    Keep in mind, as a squonker I am not well versed in tanks.
