Morning - Way to early . . .

Another cold front working its way down here - last night got to the high 40s and today will only get up to 70s with intermittent rain . . . Just Sayin'. . .
I know I've mentioned this before - "tank Bumpers" ! ! ! They usually save the tank glass and are can save you the expense of having to replace the glass. You can get them very inexpensively on FT (when you get the replacement glass - if I remember correctly a bag of 12 for under $3) and come in different colors, also vape related sayings. I got 4 packs made for 22m tanks - 1 Black w/Red stripe, 1 Black w/Blue stripe, 2 packs Black / Blue. They work great, even when tipped over or dropped from 5', especially on the Zenith, Zide, Prism T22. And - if you don't want to spend the money, before I got these bumpers, I was using rubber bands - the ones that come on produce are the best and the coated ponytail bands will work too, particularly for smaller tanks like a Prism T18.

Hope the information is helpful . . . .

Yep, I had the Innokin bumper on it and it still broke the glass. I guess hitting the tank on the porcelain god was too much for the bumper. I had two backups just didn't bring a spare tank glass with me. Now I need to order a few extra tank glass. And a couple more of the Ares 2 tanks while I'm at it.

BTW.. I've called Gracie twice now and she hasn't called back...I really hope that she n her hubby are alright!..

Got an PM from Gracie on Thanksgiving (shamefully haven't responded yet), it seems her & "Hubby" are fine and she is trying to stay active during the pandemic. Still plan on calling her myself, however I'll leave anything else for her to say when she's back posting here.

Great information, thanks for sharing. I will be ordering more in the future. I saw one thing I haven't seen before.
$1.87 Authentic Vapesoon Silicone Mouthpiece Cap for Atomizer (2-Pack) 2-pack - for 18-25mm dia. atomizer/drip tip bore diameter within 15mm / dustproof / anti-skid / anti-drop at FastTech - Free Shipping
These would be good for a spare set up to help control any leakage and keeping foreign matter from getting inside.
I just finished ordering 3 more of the Ares 2 tanks. They didn't have the LE model but I can't tell the difference between the Ares 2 and Ares 2 LE, I think the differences are mainly cosmetic. I'll keep them in the stash drawer as replacements when needed. I'll be ordering the replacement glass next week after I get my check. Gives me plenty of time to search. Who knows what I'll find that I just can't live without.

I like the ones you have pictured. I think I've only seen ones with advertizing, vendor names, or other stuff written on them and never liked 'em for that reason.

Now that ring/drip tip cover would sure come in handy for me when cutting the grass. I keep a PV deep in my pocket but still when I take it out there's all kinds of dust and clippings inside the drip tip.

Oh, did you order from Fastech. A couple days back I read in another thread the person's order was rejected by China Customs and sent back to Fastech. Fastech's response was they were going to try to re-ship it via air and hope it makes it through customs.

I may be getting dicey ordering from China. Also Fastech no longer accepts PayPal. PayPal pulled their account because of ecig shipping. You need to buy a gift card (I guess PayPal allows that) then use it to pay for your order.

"We've" already had a couple of cold fronts come through were the temp got down to almost 50* overnight (Some people were actually wearing parkas it was so cold )

Hola ..

Folks down there actually own parkas .. ??

 

[Janet H]

Good morning. I almost missed it, but it's not noon quite yet.

I'm already returning 2 games I got for the boys. Thought I still had them in my cart on Amazon so when we went to the toy store yesterday I bought 2 of the games. Then I got home and found out those games are no longer in my cart - I'd already received them. At least I'm not the only one confused. My daughter even said she was getting confused between the 4 boys and the birthdays for 2 of them so I'm not going nuts. Sheesh.

 

[Anise]

Good morning everyone!

 

[Uncle Willie]

Hit 2 local Casinos, one on Sunday, one on Monday .. lost $80 bucks Sunday before I walked away .. Monday, different casino, Downtown STL, they gave me $10 free for getting a players card .. played a penny ante slot machine for about an hour and walked out $90 to the good .. I know when to quit ..

Fact is, there is little if anything to do, I've been bored as hell lately .. I can't just keep cleaning the house ..

The Casinos have no dining, Downtown STL has no indoor dining and it's like driving thru a Ghost Town at 4:00 in the afternoon .. the freeways traffic is mild .. Casinos still have smoking areas open as well as bar service .. so, I sat in the smoking section ..

But, get this .. every 10 minutes or so, a canned announcement would come over the PA "City and County Health Regulations require the wearing of a mask in all indoor public gathering areas .. this includes if you are holding a drink or a cigarette .. "

Really .. ?? What do they expect you to do, suck the drink or smoke thru the mask .. ?? Maybe somebody needs to invent a mask with a velcro mouth hole .. ??

I just pulled my mask down and vaped and drank as usual .. wiped any machine down with a sanitizer wipe before using, used hand sanitizer after touching anything .. and, when I got home, sanitized my money ..

YEP - Quite a few do and even have Leather coats too (I still have a Leather Bombers Jacket) . . . Matter of fact, today you would have seen a lot of summer/winter clothing mixed on people . . . Another cold front came through last night . . . Dropped to the low 40's by morning and has been mid to upper 50's with a very brisk wintery breeze all day (I actually had a fleeced Olympic jacket on with a pair of jean shorts and crocks) . . . There is even one more cold front coming again next week. . . See "We" do get colder . . . Can't wait for Christas Eve/Day when it usually will be around mid to high 70's or low 80's . . . Just Sayin' . . .

[Janet H]

Good morning. My weather app said there was a chance for flurries this morning. I'm still waiting to see them.

 

[FranC]

Good morning to the young at heart

We have a chance of morning flurries also but none to be seen. Is a chilly 22.

Same here…only a little colder than you. 37 Monday night and only 50s high yesterday. Last night 34. We can thank the north for sharing this cold weather with us. But in true Floridian way we just added a sweatshirt on top of Ts/shorts/flips!

 

[Flowersoul]

Good morning!
Sorry I haven't been around!

Kay, I checked my phone messages just yesterday and so sorry I didn't respond......I know that's not like me, but my plan was to catch up on my 'stuff' at night, but nighttime came and I didn't follow through.......I do apologize.

Uncle, not to worry about responding to the PM! I know you love me!

We had 35o this morning, with a promise of 60 later on, but I'll believe it when I feel it.

Yep, I brought my down jacket out and will be wearing it this morning when I go bowling.......

Lots going one here.........all good......but sometimes, I do look forward to a 'do nothing' day.

Oh, btw, I use the Lamp Bergeres and also the essential oils.....two of my favorites are Melaleuca (tea tree) and lemon grass.....my dil is a DoTerra distributor and I usually get them gratis......very fortunate.

Gotta run, and @oldbroad I promise a phone call later this afternoon! I miss you

What you couldn't block and keep the colder air - did ya really have to let come further south. . . The least you could do is post some of your magnificent flowers to take the chill off . . . . Just Sayin' . . .

[DavidOck]

Morning, all.

What you couldn't block and keep the colder air - did ya really have to let come further south. . .

I keep getting the opposite message from the south, blaming me for not sending the rain that way... uh, sorry, above my pay grade

But, get this .. every 10 minutes or so, a canned announcement would come over the PA "City and County Health Regulations require the wearing of a mask in all indoor public gathering areas .. this includes if you are holding a drink or a cigarette .. "

I've heard that the "recommended" procedure is to keep the mask on unless actively shoveling food in. Of course, you can always stuff the drip tip under the mask, and just exhale through it

 

[FranC]

We got our little dusting of snow.

Well - Isn't it true, that up where Ya' live, a "dusting" means 2-3 inches ? ? ?

Way to go Fran ,,, you couldn't be nice and keep 'it' up there.
