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.

If it helps you, this is the one that I got. LowPro
This one doesn't appear to have any problems at all and everything fits very well. Not a bad atty that is ready for squonking for $5.45! :lol:

Yeah my Pom is the same way. I love the fact that she thinks that she is like a big dog, when really I could punt her quite far when she acts up. Still love the little booger.
Haha,we have 2 of them,and they both think they are the biggest dogs around.There is a guy in my neighborhood who walks hos doberman past my house every day.These 2 little nuts try to jump the fence while barking and growling at that doberman every time he goes past.They think they have a chance,i don't think they would stand a chance haha.
The best one though is our yorkie/cocker spaniel mix.He is a bit bigger than the poms,he weighs probably 20 pounds,but has got through the gate to chase after other dogs,and a few people.A couple years ago,our neighbors german shepard jumped the fence into my back yard.Our little dog went toe to toe with the shepard,he was growling so much he had drool running out of his mouth haha.The shepard is very friendly and wanted to play,but our dog was protecting his territory and wanted blood,so he bit the big dog on the leg.The shepard wasn't happy anymore,and had to show him he was bigger,he grabbed our dog by the back of his neck and was shaking him around like a rag doll,luckily i caught him in time or he probably would have killed him.It worked though,our dog never barked or growled at him again after that haha.

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.
i find myself 'batting clean-up' lately - going back through old juice - a lot of it stuff i bought before i was diy'ing and just working my way through it - the plus is that it gives other stuffz time to steep and satisfies my ocd need for FIFO rotation (lol - way too long in restaurant biz)

I did that last summer when I had no juice and no money.

Missouri...or the state of Misery.
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!

It is really good! And I don't like the tobacco flavors at all--but Mark's I love :D

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.:(

My throat hates TFA Orange Cream too....Try FA Orange or Mandarin Orange--lots smoother on the throat. I actually have a creamsicle to try tonight--it's the last of my mixing spree from a week ago. If it passes, then I'm mixing samplers for all of ya this weekend and getting em out in the mail finally!

    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.

    Only "like" the first bit... not the second bit. :( This oilfield situation is making it tough for a lot of us here in Texas.

    Me too! I love orange, but I've yet to find an orange vape that I care for.

    Take it easy Sister. Hope yesterdays storms left your area unscathed. Looked like lots of tornadoes were reported from Kokomo to Ft Wayne.

    It was ugly around us, but it seemed to split and go around North and South. It's headed this way again this afternoon/evening.

    We hung out in the basement. BDD found her spot under the stairs.... cat didn't care :lol:

    Tornadoes always freak out SO. One of her nephews was killed by a tornado about 15 years ago. Still kinda raw.

    Good news, for all the rain, nothing has seeped into the basement. Just keeping an eye on the water, but I think we're okey-dokey!!!

    Good Morning Krewe! Hope you all have an amazing Thursday! I certainly plan to.
    Good morning all!!:wub: Thank you Kevin for telling me what day it is. When you work 7 days a week they all tend to run together and you're left wondering if it's Monday, Tuesday etc...
    @Kaezziel I'm so sorry about your pay cut! If you want to move to NC, you can come to work with me and work 7 days a week at least now till the end of the year. :cry:

    Thanks, Darlin'. :wub: For now, I think I'm gonna stick with the devil I know... I've got too much time in here to walk away just yet. 11 years so far, and I'm the senior tech in the department and second in charge. The pay cut should only end up being about $200 less a month, and I think we can handle it as long as I start paying more attention to how I spend. Besides that, I'm only 6 years into my mortgage... if I walk away from that money-pit right now, I'll lose my shirt! :lol:
