What'cha having? :?: We're having nothing :p It's a DIY night :D

DH forgot to take his meds last night so he is not feeling too well. Most likely grilled cheese and soup. I wanted the potatoes for a roast I plan on putting in the crock pot for tomorrow. Hopefully it will clear up before I need them.

Off to put clothes in the dryer.

Hi Glam :)

I'm baaaaack also. The lambs were precious....just wanted to pick them up and cuddle them. Some of them were only days old. The baby bunnies there were so cute too. Granddaughter loved all of them.....but....but...but....we all came home with straw, mud, and poop on our shoes/boots. Had to take them off at the door and bring them in and clean them.....what a stinking mess. A farmer's wife I could never be. :laugh:

Well, we let granddaughter pick out dinner.....it is hot dogs and macaroni and cheese here. :laugh:

And for once, jj.....I think you are going to get more snow than us....it looked like south of us was going to get quite a bit. We are to get 1-4 inches. LOL.....how is that for a precise weather forecast. :laugh:

And VG.....I have been vaping bottom coils for months....and never had a leak. Do get the gurgles, but never a leak. And my iClear 30 bottom coils never gurgle, or leak, and taste great.....but they do not produce the vapor of the Aspire BVCs. Seems there is always some little drawback to any of them. But in the ever changing world of vaping....there is always tomorrow. I see the new eGo one tanks are getting rave reviews. I think they are brand new. And I checked them out....you cannot see the amount of juice in them very well at all....that would drive me crazy. Always something!! :closedeyes:

It does seem that the quality of tanks is catching up to the quality of PVs. There are some of both that are close, but nothing is perfect yet.

PBusardo had little bad to say about the iStick 50W, but the two 18650 batteries are internal (soldered in) and cannot be easily changed. Make that with two replaceable 18650s, and we might be near perfection in a Box Mod. :)

Dale,

I saw a video about how to replace the soldered in 18650 in an iStick 20W. I think all of the iSticks might have a very similar procedure. When yours go dead, I can replace the battery for you. We'd just need to find high-quality 18650s of the right mAh and Amp rating with solder tabs.

Hi Glam, sounds like everyone had fun :)

Hey, Dale....yes it was fun. I enjoyed them too....there is nothing cuter than baby animals....in all species. The lambs were especially cute....one of the older ones is being bottle fed because its mom rejected it (painful breech birth causes some moms to reject the babies)...anyway, it was super friendly and gave us kisses and actually smiled a couple of times. :)

The Nautilus are bottom coil. Except how I got to put juice in, I like them and I got use to that so no biggie.

I don't have much trouble with them until they get really low on juice.

Hey hot dogs and mac & cheese sounds good!

My Aspire Nautilus coils never have given me any problems either....but for some reason I like the Aspire Vivi bottom coils just a little better. Both are much better than past coils.

What a nice gesture:wub:.....and a great idea. That way she will not have to throw it away. :thumbs:

The Mini iStick battery is 1050mAh, so that's an 18490/18500, but it is made the same as the 20W, so it would come apart the same. The iStick 30W is made the same, too, and should have an 18650 inside. The iStick 50W is made a little different, but probably comes apart in a very similar fashion.

ETA:
I don't know if the Mini and the 30W have fixed the Over-Powered issue caused by AVG Regulation instead of RMS, but the 50W has.

    :ohmy: REALLY???? :?: That would be awesome!! :wub: Only I don't have the 20W anymore, sold it :unsure: I do have several of the mini's and a couple of the 30W's :)

    Yes, they did! Otherwise I wouldn't have them :)
