I was about ready to put your on a milk carton

Hey! How did I figure you would be the one to do that?

I need to own that shirt, too. Glad to see you back!

It's like my favorite shirt at work. Close second though, my friend got me one for Christmas with the crew of Supernatural as chibis with their catch phrases.

Welcome home JoJo!

Good to be back. How's the road?

Oh, I'm always around, just sometimes I hide so good I can't find myself!

No adulting allowed here. You are totally safe.

Pshew! I was worried there for a hot minute!

It's a little smaller. Not sure about the direct output and voltage output thing, though. Does the 25 do that, too?

 

[wvloony]

Yes, it does. I will post a couple of pics if you like

Sure! I don't know a lot about the franchise. I know the people who have them absolutely love them, though.

When we were in San Juan, we bought her a ring from the Effy store there. 1.3 carat trillion cut Tanzanite stone with 0.25 carat diamonds. We overpaid and she swears that they somehow swapped it out for a different stone or different ring when they were sizing it since the stone wasn't as deep blue as when we originally bought the ring. When we were in St. Thomas, we were at the other Effy store and she found another ring, 4 carat trillion cut Tanzanite stone with 1 carat in diamonds. They gave us a price that we agreed to and then when we said that we were going to trade in the other ring and pay the difference, they started to balk on the price. They tried to say that if we were trading in the ring, then the price would be an extra $600 on top of the extra we were going to pay. That ...... me off and I started .....ing that we should just return the ring for a refund. The shopping consultant from the cruise ship happened to be in the store at the time so he had a little chat with them and they agreed to exchange the ring.

When we were in Diamonds International in St. Maarten, they tried pushing us to get this gorgeous trillion cut Tanzanite tennis bracelet with a total weight of 26 carats. The GIA appraisal certificate showed the value of the bracelet as over $15k and they went down to $8k. My wife told them that if we had seen that bracelet before we had already bought so much jewelry we would have bought it. Maybe we'll get it the next time we take a cruise down there.

Here is where the magic happens

That part that has the s on it is removable, flip it over and it has a p on it for parallel, and while in series i can set it for direct output or adjustable

The pair I picked out were simple 2 carat studs. Maxwell needed to use the restroom, and ex stayed to have them boxed. When we got back to the ship, I almost crapped...tiny itty bitty flawed stones that are 2 different colors and sizes.

That's some bull. I woulda shot me a sales clerk.

 

[faeriekitsune]

So, I've been back for about a day or whatever....

Big question.

What the heck happened to the forum? It's almost like it's populated by ghosts... did the regs screw everything up that bad? There's vendors missing, big names I haven't spotted, etc. It's like going home to visit your parents and noticing downtown got ran over by a bulldozer.

Wow, good for you for sticking up for yourselves! Sounds like they are running quite the racket. That bracelet sounds gorgeous. Well, tanzanite jewelry in general is absolutely gorgeous, lol. I remember when it first started getting popular. You could get it for a song the first year but after that the price really escalated. I wish now that I had bought some pieces back then.

That's so cool! Have you run it both ways? Do you get any difference in battery life with one or the other? I still see lots of discussion as to whether running batteries in series makes them last longer but I don't know for sure that it does.

 

[wvloony]

I have and running in parallel i can build lower, but i wasnt impressed with the overall output of it, so i keep it in straight output mode, i keep my builds between .4 and .5 ohms and i am happy. As for battery life, its not to bed, but its what you would expect from a series mod i guess

That's horrible. I would be so mad!!!

I have always wanted to get a Breitling watch for years, so I finally bought one for myself in St. Maarten, and also bought another Tag Heuer. We also bought my son a Tissot watch, and my wife got a ton of jewelry.....two Tanzanite rings, two Tanzanite bracelets, a Tanzanite pendant and matching earrings, and a set of blue diamond earrings and pendant. Spent way more than I had originally planned.

I love me some watches. I have Rolex taste on a timex budget [emoji38]

I think it's the holiday lull. Most of the regulars are still around but things have quieted down a little bit lately. The lack of the mega contests has sent a few folks into lurker mode but they seem to pop up when summoned.
