I have typed that rant and erased it on multiple occasions. My signature is offending enough folks as it is. Silly people that they are.

Some people have no sense of humour

I used to spend a lot of time on a geek computer OS forum where it was customary to list detail of your hardware in the sig. It wasn't bragging, it was just useful if people knew what hardware you were using.

Cultural double take:
I was going to use the word skyte instead of brag, but then had a suspicion that it would mean something different to you. I was right:
skite: meaning and definitions | Infoplease.com
Have a look at the second iteration: Australian.

I think the etymology is from the Scottish: "one held in mild contempt" because that is the intent: a brag so vain and trifling that it is worthy of mild contempt. Not a particularly new word either, I remember it from the 60's.

So now you might have a new word for what they do when they list all their unnecessarily expensive mods: skyting :)

I dislike all 3 protanks and 2 Evods that I have. I may try a new version someday, but it's the lowest priority on my vape purchase list.
Other than polycarbonate cartotanks, they all seem the same to me. I have a couple of VVV pyrex tanks which are huge at 1" wide, but they fit perfectly on 2 mods that I have. The VVV polypro tank with the side fill screw is pretty convenient, but I don't see myself getting any more of those.

Isn't that strange? I love bottom coil devices, and find they work almost as well as my RDA devices, and probably well as I've been able to achieve with mesh and wire at this point, and I find the T3S, Protanks, and Evods way more convenient all round. All the top coilers and carto devices are in the bottom drawer. It seems to me people fall into one of three or four different camps and find nothing else works as well for them. Thank goodness we have such wide range of choices now. I'd really like to try a bottom fed device but the price is putting me off at the moment - another mod is a bit hard to justify right now but I know I'll get around to squonking eventually - keeping my eye on the Aussie classifieds for a second hand Reo or similar. There's a mass produced device by Boge but I think it's a bit ordinary, going on the reviews.

Congrats Ocey!!!! That is fantastic. Sorry I am a little late showing up to the party, spent the weekend tubing with some really good friends. Sorry no pictures but it was a blast. A little banged up but that goes with the territory. River = Rocks and there is very little steering on those tubes.

I found a couple Ocelots that would be nice to keep in the house (the figurine and the drawing) and one giving you a big old high 5 :)

Doh! I was kidding. :facepalm:

Seriously though: pre-18th century libertarian, modern American libertarian, outright anarchist... so many choices?!?

I've known quite a few self proclaimed libertarians over the years. Few of them would agree with each other on much of anything specific. The libertarians that run for office around here have extremely different views from each other. I'd rather not have a label of any kind, personally. It all seems so subjective.

Anywho, I don't know if I would want to watch a so called "libertarian" show with Nikki, vape related or not.

Edit: I was working for tips a few years back. A customer asked me if I knew who ran for governor from the libertarian party. I had no idea. It was him, or so he said. He did not tip me. I remain biased.

libertarian - definition of libertarian by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Nothing wrong with libertarianism, but as with all ideologies is dangerous when taken to extremes, such as asserting your own rights at the expense of everyone elses. I take it this was probably the unstated sarcasm in the question (I didn't tune in, so don't know).

I actually think the sarcasm was more along the lines of you don't hang out with Nikki do you? nudge nudge wink wink

Thank you! Tubing sounds like fun - worth getting a little banged up for.

I just looked at my avatar...
