Hottie! I was just thinking about you...

View attachment 231242

ooh phab...someone nearby that can execute (that for) you?

I think it was when nikki had her meltdown about us protesting mods winning contest. The hosts of the shows already get plenty of free stuff, and many of the Mods are host on other shows.
so you said something and she went all ban happy? what did you say? SirSteve...i think you forgot some of us are girls and want/need deeeeets! (details)

i personally think that they *should* remove their names from the list....i mean heck...how many commercials do you hear that say "employees and their families are not eligible to participate" or whatever....
while they aren't "employees" that would be like me planning/hosting a fundraiser and winning all of the raffle items just because i bought the most tickets......

If one of their names comes up, they could just randomize again. And they hardly type anything in chat anyway, so maybe they don't need to be in there if it's so hard to keep 4 names out of the drawing. I don't think it's rigged, but it's annoying for them to talk about all the free stuff they get, then whine about not being able to exclude themselves from the drawings.

they CAN exclude themselves...if they can remove the word "viewers" from the randomizer...they can remove their names....they just do not...

ETA: i can see it useful for them to be in chat to share links or reply to someone while someone else is talking on the mic....
there are also a lot of chatters that are hosts of other shows....in the "after hours" google hangout, tiny couldn't get back in and everyone was like "they need to change your status to mod so you won't have that problem again"
you too can be a cool kid with a camera and an internet connection.....

did you guys hear joe say that nova is at someone's house off of a cable modem? what the french fry?
I also really wonder how all of that works...how does nova make money? do the hosts make money? (aside from being sent stuff "for review")

oh...i totally forgot to share this with ya'll
so i am driving to work yesterday morning..."late" (i have a time cutoff that i give myself to not rush but i always miss it..so i am not late to wherever i am going...just in a rush LOL)...me in the right lane, a pack of bikers in the left.
we are all cruising along happy as can be and then all of a sudden i see a big puff of dirt on the left in the sky around the small bend in the fwy and brake lights...the lead rider/road captain and i saw this at the same time and slowed....and this is what we saw

e3645f15-6769-48e1-9889-702604ffecb9.jpg


the bikers and i pulled over (it's kind of an unwritten motorcyclist's code on top of good person-ism LOL)
i was shaking like a leaf even tho i didn't even see it happen and called 911...the system was too busy and there was a woman already on the line with them so i hung up.
random irrelevant sidenote: the silver truck in the left of the frame happened to be a former co-worker from when i was a systems administrator.
I asked the lady that witnessed it what had happened; the driver who was in the left lane had somehow gone off into the dirt median and hit the cement divider thing which shot him across rolling like 3x and landing upside down on the other side....
scary stuff...had myself or the bikers been driving a little faster or had i not been late....we all could have been taken out in one fell swoop. seconds DO count...and not just in racing.
i can only imagine the horror for the drivers a few seconds ahead of us. I hope the lady that called and her 9ish year old daughter aren't too traumatized.
the driver was alive but trapped when i left....(there were enough ppl helping that i would have been in the way and emergency responders were on the way)
I was still shaking once i got to work and about 30 minutes later (gotta love adrenaline)
ppl i showed the photo to all said "what kind of car?" and i was like "uhm...white upside down kind?" LOL mercedes?

I hope the driver is ok...nothing in the paper about it this morning.

Hi everybody. Firstly well done chelle on your 5er.and well done dolphin on yer 3 month anniversary. Keep it up.welcome back becks glad yer feeling better. Well that's outta the way. Lets' get started.

The vanilla swirl is not an overly strong vanilla. The problem I am having is finding vanilla flavors without daicetyl or Acetoin. Neither of which are particularly good to be vaping. It is the custard notes that seem to require the nasty chemicals.

Edit: Just looked up the vanilla you use I will have to try it. It looks to not have the nasty stuff.
I accidentally discovered a vanilla custardy type flavour you may be interested in. I was attempting to make creme brule and ended up with something that tasted like apple pie and custard without the apples. You know. When you've had a bowl of apple pie and custard and you've nearly finished the bowl and all your left with is some pie crust and some custard. well that is the flavour i accidentally made. It was so yummy that i vaped it constantly for a solid week and doubled my ml count for the week. I'll try and find the recipe on e-liquid-me-up and post later, but basically it's hangsen caramel 14% hangsen cream 5%, 1 small chip of menthol crystal, and 4 drops of koolada. Now, i don't know if it contains any of the nasties you are trying to avoid. I did a search of Hansen ingredients but couldn't find anything, although i never searched for long. You let me know if you want the recipe

I don't really like butter or creamy flavors in my vape. I have yet to have a great commercial vanilla, and I really want to try the Bourbon Vanilla.

Myrany, the Koolada is nice, but I have noticed that the longer it "sits" the more "kool" it gets. I am not sure I like that aspect of it, because it is very strong to me. Maybe it is my taste buds or lung buds, but a little goes a loooooong way. I think this is one of the reasons I don't like FuZion anymore, too much Koolada. I feel like it expands in my lungs or something. I am not very articulate this morning...more coffee needed.
The very reason i started to use koolada was to try and emulate the fuzion range. especially krankberry and pixie dust. The trick is to use very very little. Only 1 or 2 drops per 10ml of juice is sufficient i find.

For a personal setup the biggest outlay is the nicotine concentrate. The flavour concentrates in small sizes are normally only a few dollars each. The only other things you need are PG, VG, some bottles in various sizes, and something to measure accurately with - and most of use syringes which the suppliers usually have in their DIY sections.

After that it's all savings. A 50ml bottle of my ADV probably costs me around $3.50 for all consumable items.

Mistakes made by new DIYers:

* Expecting to just mix one concentrate and get a perfect flavour
- Sometimes true, but that's more likely to be the rare case. Most often you will have to use your knowledge of flavours to really make the base concentrate shine.

* Making up a 100+ ml batch first time.
- Umm no. Make small batches first. Learn what the concentrate is and it will suggest ways it can be used. You might write something off as being unvapable at any concentration, but what it can bring to the flavour as an adjunct might be really important. I make maybe a 5 ml once I've got some idea of the dilution. If that works I might make 10ml and put it in a clearo for a day. Many never make it past this stage, something to have around when you need a change, but not something you'll ever use a lot of. If the flavour is worthy of being an ADV, only then do you make larger batches. I make 50ml batches of Light Horse, and have one steeping while another is in use because the optimum steep time is about 2 weeks.

* 20 drops = 1ml
- Complete horshazz. You will have a lot of trouble scaling recipes up if you use this assumption. Drops per ml depends on a lot of things, but mainly the the size of the dropper tip and the viscosity of the liquid. After testing it under my conditions I found that I get 46 drops per ml for VG, and 54 drops per ml for PG. If you want to do accurate testing and get consistent results you have to do the test yourself.

* Writing off a flavour as useless.
- Also no. I think you have to vape a concentrate at least to the 5 ml level which means that you find out how powerful it is, and what it's main characters are. That's how I came to use the vanilla the way I do - it's useless as the only ingredient, but it's indispensable in my ADV at 0.3%

It's a lot of fun playing with flavours, but you do have some interesting experiences along the way. Hop over to the DIY sections and do some reading.
some nice tips there fabricator. tried to push that information into my memory banks but i just know some other useful information will get pushed out the other side to make room. This is why computers are so useful.

lol Oh, Atty, life was easier when one could say --- just buy AW.

Those Panasonic's with the CH at the end are the "hybrids" that have been the rave for quite some time now and have been extremely popular. The grey label has Li-ion and also MH12210 next to it in smaller letters. I also heard panasonic was discontinuing making them......but they are everywhere. I have no clue what happened with that. I don't know anything about the other panasonic #'s....and I have seen opposing views on at least some of them.


And -- Hi lounge people! A search somehow got me here, so I thought I'd check in.
After some misadventures with tabbed topped batteries recently (ask atty) i've decided to leave the battery problems to the experts on here (atty again)Oh! and (fabricator)so can you let me know if these will be o.k for my vamo? 2x SenyBor (Panasonic inside) 3100mAh 18650 protected 3.7v 2C (5.6A drain)+case | eBay
I like this seller and have recently read his blog. I thought i would share it with you guys. He seems like a trusted seller and seems to know his onions. I'd be intrested to know your opinion on this seller atty. Here's his blog.Torchy the Battery Boy

I lost all of my multi-quotes...grr. .............. Gonna just move forward instead of trying to go fetch the lost quotes...apologies.
Did the self same thing a while ago becks and came up with the same solution. Just moved on. What i can remember is that you were asking me for the destination of the toker vacation spot. Well i can tell you that it is in Haines City. We are staying at the southern Dunes golf complex in a nice 6 room villa with a pool. We chose this particular villa as it's right by Lake Joe and so i can do some early morning fishing before we go play in the parks.:blink:We'll be here for three weeks but i've managed to wrangle a couple of days fishing for before we fly out and a couple of days off playing golf for when we arrive home. It's been a long haul waiting for this holiday but at the end of the day I've managed to wrangle a whole month off of the buses:D:D.
By the way Becks I've still got a lump in my throat about the explanation of you moniker the other day. I do hope you are o.k.I like you and wouldn't like to think of you breaking your heart. Like. Ever. You are such a soul. :blush:
Here you go secret Empress. You have been immortalized and can now post anywhere you like.

Wow. I hate stuff you can't unsee, I'm glad you didn't witness anymore.
