Beautiful pooch. Looks like just absolute sweetness and fun. Of course looks could be deceiving.

I think we all said this about @Kaezziel and look what we got.

(A zinger for the Dinger!)***See Yah, ZZZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!***

Hey... don't go outin' me like that... lookin' sweet and innocent is my hook!! :p :lol::lol::lol:

Thanks for the suggestions!! That may be the ticket. I'm like Kodak in the flavorless gags me!

Better news...Maggie aka Houdini dog is back home. The animal shelter had her. She was picked up last Friday 1 street down from mine. $60 later and she's home. This time all the hardware has been tightened. She was 1 day from being put down. :(

AWESOME that Houdini Dawg is back home.... that was a darn close call!

Missouri...or the state of Misery.
You and @LynnNC might think about a mostly flavorless, but just a couple of drops of a single flavor. Again, I'd suggest a mint. Really, maybe only 2 drops/10-15 mL
Takes the edge off "flavorless", but not a whole lot to overwhelm?

I've done that before, but mint tends to seriously dry my mouth out. What really seems to work for me is to use a drop of FA's Coffee Expresso in a 30 ml bottle. Gives it just enough of a taste and doesn't clash with my regular coffee :D

Yay on Houdini dog being back home! I'm so glad you found her in time.

Yeah, just suggesting something not "sweet". I bet the coffee would be nice....

YAY Houdini Dog!!!! Sooooooooooooooo glad she's home :)

I've been struggling with my vaping journey for the past couple of weeks. It's not an equipment problem as I have plenty of good equipment but more of a taste bud problem I think. I'm tired of sweet, fruity, desserty and so on. It's almost like I just don't like any of the liquids I have and no time to mix anything different. Hopefully, with time, it will get better.
Want to try some vanilla tobacco? I've used it for years without hitting the blahs. I just need to know the mg. (My standard mix is 6 mg, about 50% PG)

It's a relatively light flavor, I think it tastes kind of like a vanilla custard. Just vanilla plus tobacco blend (the TB adds depth to the vanilla).

That would be great Mark! I really think tobacco flavors are what my taste buds are looking for. And your standard mix is my standard mix too. Thanks!

Oh so I get outed for mini skirts and leggings and you are not suppose to be outed. Oh no brotha. A friend will bail you out of jail when the time comes. A good friend will be right besides you in jail, saying "Man/Woman wasn't that fun!"So if I go you go down!

    Bummer, I think I found a flavor that I can't vape. Not 100% sure yet, but but I seem to be getting some throat irritation every time I try to vape it, switch to something else and it goes away. TFA Orange Cream. This was supposed to be my starting point for a Creamsickle recipe too. I'm bummed.:(

    Hahahaha! I prefer the phrase "A friend will help you move; a good friend will help you move a body." ;) It's all good, though... I'm pretty sure that most are on to my game by now and know that I'm not nearly as sweet and innocent as I would have others believe. :lol:

    On another note... and not a happy one... I was just informed that I will be taking a 5% pay cut for the rest of the year. :( We haven't gotten a raise in over 3 years, and are down to 40hr weeks with no overtime. I guess a 5% cut is better than getting cut back to 32hr weeks, though... apparently that was their other option.

    That's a real bummer. Sorry to hear it brother.

    Me too... we'll survive it, though... Just gonna have to make some cut-backs at the grocery store (or actually stick to the grocery budget that the wife had in place... I usually ignore it and get what I want). Aside from necessities, we don't spend a whole lot. We almost never go out to eat, or go to the movies, or anything like that. It's just work, doctors, home... we're pretty good at keepin' each other entertained. Most of the time, she either thinks I'm hilarious, or I've completely lost my mind... she's probably more correct with the latter. ;)

    I only "liked" this because I read it. Yeah, been there, done that before. I'm so sorry, Darlin'. Ours hit back in 2009 - right in the middle of all the financial schiz that was occurring. I'd just come back from my Father's funeral, and my best friend/supervisor pulled me aside and told me what was coming. Ours was a 10% hit that year. SUCKED ROCKS....

    Sending you :wub: and hugz, Brother....

    It can be hard to tell the difference between the two sometimes.

    Thanks, Darlin'... it'll be alright. I'm already making less this year than I have in the past 4 years, so we're already tightening up the belts pretty good. Credit cards are all paid off, cars are paid off... the only debt we have is the mortgage and medical bills, plus standard living expenses. There are still a few things that can be trimmed... I certainly won't be picking up any new vape toys after these last coupla FT orders roll in (already ordered and shipped). That's fine, though... I ordered more than I "needed" and should be set for quite a while. Should have enough flavors and nic to get through a coupla years, at least. I'm just nervous about how much deeper they're gonna cut before this whole downturn is over...

    Kinda like that fine line between madness and genius, huh? ;)

    @LynnNC glad to hear little Ms. Houdini is back. Yay! :thumbs:

    Thank you, Sweetie! I'll always take hugs! :D :wub:

    Believe it or not, just single strand 26g NiChrome 80. It seems to have grabbed fine on all four legs with no issues. And so far, no sign of the drip tip melting, even at 0.25Ω. No dry hits yet... I've been paranoid as hell 'bout that with this atty. The rayon wicks like a champ in it, though... two decent hits, and it's pure white and ready for another squonk. I'll probably swap it out for one of the Vertex Jr. Minis soon... just need to drill out another 510 pin.
    A coupla washers may be just the trick to get yours sorted out... either that, or stuff a small bit of wire down into that little "leg channel". Just use a gauge that barely fits so that it'll stay snug. I dunno, I'm thinking that might help...
    Sounds like you got a better quality clone than i did,i got mine from Focal though.I really do like the size and design of it,so i'll probably grab one from Fasttech,maybe i'll have better luck with that one.
    On the washer idea,i think i'm going to play around some this weekend and see what i can do.I have a good sized sheet of copper that is just thick enough that it shouldn't flex any with as small as the shims need to be,so i will probably try that out,then i'll throw the white chuff top on it since it hasn't been compromised like the black one haha.
