How to spend a Saturday

[Poeia]

I decided I need to give my hand a rest and I bought a Riva.

When I leave my apartment, I bring my Chuck.
When I'm doing things around the apartment, I use my Chuck
When I'm sitting at my computers, I use the Riva.

When I'm sitting at my desk, I look down and think "when did I pick that up?" Even when I don't vape from it, I'll have it in my hand. I'll play with it and hold it -- a security blanket. And for that, the Chuck is just too heavy for me. I was developing pain in my hand. (I was the same way when I smoked. I'd light a cigarette, turn to put it in the ashtray and find another one there that had only been lit a minute or so before. Or I'd realize I was holding a lit cigarette when the ash fell on the desk.)

It was the right move. It's only been a few days and my hand is feeling a lot better. And I'm impressed with the Riva. (I went from stock 510s and 801s directly to the Chuck.) But it has also reinforced in my mind just how superior the Chuck is. The Riva is a very nice PV that produces a lot of good-tasting vapor which is sufficient for me a lot of the time. The Chuck is a great PV that produces a delicious cloud.

And this isn't really a question of voltage (I have a Little Chuck and have never vaped at above 3.7V.) And it's not a question of stock batteries vs. AW or Ultrafire (I have a Screwdriver that I hate.) It's simply that the Chuck results in better vaping.

I'm glad to hear that your hand is better, Poeia.
I don't have a chuck, because I think they are big, bulky and some are downright ugly. I like my eGo, because the size is like a small cigar, it's not very heavy and the battery lasts all day. I vape at 3.7 volts too, I don't want to go any higher in voltage, because I don't want to get spoiled with more vapor and throat hit.

It's not the Chuck's fault if the owner ordered something ugly. I love the way Chucks look and feel. Junior is gorgeous but the fact that he's built like a tank also makes him heavy. (My Chuck is named Chuck Miro Jr.)

You tell him Poeia!! Nothing like a proud Chuck owner.

That's a new avi. It's interesting to see what you will come up with every time!!!

 

[Poeia]

It's the last day of the daily costumes. I couldn't think of a scarier look for him than this one.

Happy Halloween!

 

[notsoogood]

LOL! Happy Halloweenie to you too Poeia!! That is pretty scary but I thought that one the other day was scary too. Which one are you going to pick for full time use again???

 

[Poeia]

What, the lamp was scary? That was from a SNL sketch. Here's the ABOFAL sketch this one is from. Everything about it is frightening.

I have a sweet one picked out for the next few days as a respite. Then I'll put your favorite up for a week or so.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Halloween.That is by far the 'scariest' pic I've seen of the dude Poeia! LOL!

Gee Jerry, nothing ugly about my chuck! I like bulky brawny toys. I am all girly under the jeans and t's but my choice of vehicles, boots, outerwear and yeah, pv's ...built tough and rugged and I want something that can take abuse. Though you've made me think should I ever order another chuck, I'll have to get an uber girly looking one! LOL! I have a plain one and a gunsmoke theme.
I do wonder if going to six volts totally screwed me on giving up the habit. Big throat hit and vape, more than any smoke gave me so I am just as addicted.

Poeia, bummer on the hand. I think I have the opposite problem, mine acts more as one of those stress balls. I do a fair share of heavy work, have tons of stress etc and you made me ponder when and how I just hang onto my chuck, yep, aside from just vaping on the run and setting it down during the day, I find that when I am just hanging on to it, I kind of use it to loosen up my finger joints.

I discovered a flaw with the metal drip tips. They are freakin cold when you first start vaping. As in I need to switch to delrin in the winter cause I have visions of my lip getting froze to it! LOL!

I do that with the little PVs. My ultra-long 801 was great for that -- I twirled it around my fingers like I was a magician rolling a quarter. The Chuck is the perfect diameter for me to clamp my hand around it in a tight fist. But this combination is working quite well.

Here are all 20 avatars that I used this month. When you put them side-by-side, even I was surprised at how versatile his looks are.

Congrats ScaGin. Hope you enjoy immensely. Did you bribe? Just wondering cuz you ordered 10 days after I did and I haven't seen pr0n yet. Doesn't take away from congrats and good wishes to you.....just wondering.

Hmm, no, I didn't bribe Maybe Jeff just likes me better...............LOL I've had my Little
Chuck for a year now.

 

[sheryder]

ScaGin: I am almost certain that he DOES like you better since you already have 1 chuck and just got another! This is my first little chuck...probably not my last either. He does great work doesn't he. I only asked about the bribe cuz it was mentioned in another thread that the wait is much less if extra is paid and you got yours so quick. Which one is yours? Sorry if you said in another post....if so I missed it. Are you going to post in the "pics in hand" thread? I love to see the users with their new chucks!

 

[ChuckDragon]

Well all you Chuckleheads, Today is the 1 year anniversary for me. It was Halloween last year when I smoked my last analog. This accomplishment could not have been attained without Jeff and this fantastic device he calls the Chuck. It was also all the help I received from everyone on this thread that was here for me in the beginning answering all my inane questions. I am still vaping away on my little Chuck and my 6v bad boy Dodger Big Chuck.

Jeff,
A heart felt thank you from me, my family and all my friend who wanted me to quit smoking. We all love you. If it were not the fact that I am a fat man, I could confidently RUN down my street without my lungs wanting to explode.

 

[notsoogood]

Hey CD!! Congratulations on that accomplishment! Where the heck have you been?? Missed ya buddy!

 

[Poeia]

Congratulations, CD


NSG, try this

 

[notsoogood]

That worked great this time Poeia! You know which one is my fav. But they were all good ones. And he is a 'pretty' versatile man!
