What factor(s) make you favor that one? I know you are very thorough when you research these things. :)
Just getting started looking and liked that it’s intended to be refilled. The idea is less fiddling, not more. I’m already over the search. Got bored and the idea of a flavor search got intimidating, so for now I’m sticking with what I have. I’ll let you know if I revisit the idea again.

April, I've been over the flavor search for a long time now. I may try something in the future, but I am not on an all out hunt for them. Once I found HHV, they pretty much took up all the top spots for me. I rarely vape anything else.
I have to say the flavor search was the most discouraging aspect of switching to vaping. Most of the pods use salts and I don’t know any of those flavors, not do I want to try to find one I like. There’s probably a good fit out there somewhere but I’ve got enough on my plate right now :)

Most commercial flavors are too over powering for me. My flavor search ended up with 90VG/10DW unflavored. I tried it a short while and grew to like it, I find that the highly complex recipe that I have works well for old brains. Sometimes, when feeling real rowdy, I will put a drop of some HHV Heavenly Tobacco down the ole drip tip and, oh my, takes me back to my finer days.

Robin has been doing unflavored too.

Im just waiting for the aliens to move into our neck of the woods and consider us a threat and decide to get rid of us... ;)

You would have a hard time finding someone more soft-hearted than me when it comes to animals. I'm not a hunter. I get no pleasure from killing God's creatures. The only reasons I will kill an animal are (1) for food, (2) as an act of mercy if it's injured, and (3) protection of person or property.

Should my neighbor instruct his kids of the dangers lurking in that woodpile and order them not to play around it or climb on it? Absolutely, and he probably has. But since when did kids become perfectly obedient?

Same here. I haven't bought any other brand of e-liquid in several years.

My arms are a little sore! Step one of M&P is to “season” it by grinding rice grains until the powder comes out white. That cleans away any residual granite dust from manufacturing. Suggestions are that it takes about 3 batches to get it there. No problem! I’ve got lots of nice short grain white rice on hand. Let’s do this!

Um. Wow.

I get to batch 4 and my arms are feeling it. Thankfully I’m ambidextrous. Both get a good triceps workout. But it’s getting tough to keep going.

THEN I finally realize I should have used the basmati. And most people probably use Minute Rice. You know - softer and easier to grind.

:facepalm:

Same here. Except I never vape anything else. Nothing has tempted me. And like April, I can’t be bothered to do that again. :)

Good Morning Army. Lawn Mowed, Gutters halfway done. Mamaw is calm, for now.
My old Dell is really on its last legs. Battery dead, sound card failing, 120V plug-in weak ...
Might be time for a MacBook ?

Have a Safe and Blessed Day :)

I loved my Dell laptops. Both lasted a few years. Neither one outlasted my MacBook Airs which are still going strong. Had to replace the battery in one of them. $130 - which wasn’t cheap, but was less than any new laptop at the level I’d need.

I did have 2 MacBook Pros go wonky on me though. It was a later known flaw in the Intel graphics card. Unfortunately mine showed the issue after their recall/repair program ended which was when I learned about the whole problem. By then I had the Airs and didn’t bother fixing them. I still have them because there was a home hack you could do and I intended to do it sometime.

Filing that under “someday” projects I’ll probably never get to. :)

Bottom line, the Macs cost more but I’ve never had a better laptop.

Just got off the phone with Apple Sales. $1332 for MacBook Air. 128 GB Storage, 8 GB Memory, I-5 Processor. Whatever that means. The Sales Lady explained that an I-7 Processor would be $250 more, but no more than I do would be unnecessary.
Still, that's a hefty price for ECF, Fantasy Football and occasional research/ shopping.

I told her let me think it over ....

So in others words you figured out the easier way to do it after you did it the hard way...……(been there:blink:)

So I got a little motivated and cleared stuff from the spare room to the curb. Couple flat panel tv's. (broken..the 50in was heavy) Along with a box of circuit boards, a box of cables ,an electric heater, a small lamp , two monitors (one flat and one crt) , 4 chairs on wheels from the dining table I don't use. With some other odds and ends. Just over two hours later only the crt and a glass in the frame for a 50in remain. (If they are still there in the morning I'll bring them up to the house till trash day) I saw three different cars stop but could have been more. The city doesn't like people picking through trash but don't seem enforce it. Which is fine with me. If some people want to pick things from the trash to take to the recycle center to make a few dollars or fix to resale or use it's better than the stuff going to the dump. More power too'em.

When the snake comes lunging out of the woodpile and takes a swipe at them. :)

I'm thankful for the EZ ways I can dispose of stuff here in Wake County. There are all kinds of waste disposal/recycle facilities here. The county does a fabulous job with that. Not every facility takes everything so you have to look it up. But even stuff like TVs and electronics is easy to drop off...about 10 miles away. I recycle everything possible. Batteries, bulbs, spent oils n chems, appliances, etc. in addition to the weekly pickup of standard recyclable items. I'm no environmental extremist but I do try to recycle everything possible or have my disposables processed correctly.

    128gb of storage is too little IMO , the operating system will take up a chunk of that , hard drives are cheap these days , ask her about a bigger hard drive .
