I would never ignore my fellow ginger seester. I have been here all night trying to catch up and I'm almost there! I need to just skim and not reply next time I miss a couple days.

I was feeling pretty good yesterday, but the ankle's bugging me pretty hard this morning
I just did that last week miss roonies. Thankfully the glass is cheap, too. I bought 2 replacement tubes so when I inevitably do it again I won't have a tank out of rotation for a week. How are you feeling this morning? {{vHugs}}
Like I've been up all night and need some coffee.....and you? Is the ankle any better since you first posted this?? I hope so. I am having worry about your ankle!

Yup, I have the same mixed feelings about assimilation. On the one hand, what strong people they were to go through all of that in an effort to give future generations a better life... on the other, in the case of my family, their other option was quite literally to starve to death (not through lack of food, but because all cattle/corn/fish/fruit/greens went to England for taxes, leaving them the potatoes to subsist on, so when the blight happened....) so, not much of a choice.
It's the loss of the language that bothers me the most, particularly because in this day and age, it's not as simple as "go to Ireland and learn it"... Irish has only been legal to speak *in* Ireland for about 50 years (from 1801- ca. 1960, it was illegal to speak Irish *in Ireland*), so even there it's a language on life support. I wish it had survived assimilation *here* so that the language itself might be in a little less danger of extinction overall... but it didn't, so now it's down to the Gaelscoileanna (Irish immersion schools) that have popped up in the last 20 years or so over there to try to keep it from dying completely. Countless dialects have already been lost for all time... three survive. In another 50 years or so, three may well become one... and that would be a tragedy, because it really is a beautiful language.
There's a poem by John Montague that was my inspiration for learning Irish in the first place - It's long, so feel free to skip it, but it might speak to others who have no knowledge of their ancestral language, so I'll put it here.
A Grafted Tongue
(Dumb,
bloodied, the severed
head now chokes to
speak another tongue
As in
a long suppressed dream,
some stuttering garb-
led ordeal of my own)
An Irish
child weeps at school
repeating its English.
After each mistake
The master
gouges another mark
on the tally stick
hung about its neck
Like a bell
on a cow, a hobble
on a straying goat.
To slur and stumble
In shame
the altered syllables
of your own name:
to stray sadly home
And find
the turf-cured width
of your parents' hearth
growing slowly alien:
In cabin
and field, they still
speak the old tongue.
You may greet no one.
To grow
a second tongue, as
harsh a humiliation
as twice to be born.
Decades later
that child's grandchild's
speech stumbles over lost
syllables of an old order.
Free time continues. Girls are still at the sleepover and the boy had a wrestling thing at 7 this morning that SO took him to. I don't know what to do with myself (not complaining). I"m free until about 2pm today. Wake & Bake (biscuits and gravy? you decide).
GOod Morning.
In the interest of full disclosure, I never bother trying to catch up from overnight. I hope it was all amiable and that everybody is feeling awesome this morning..

Oh and I'm vaping the very last of my butter pecan. It was like a little treasure...I had been overlooking it for about a month, because it was really just the dregs of a 30ml bottle, but the dregs of a 30ml bottle are more than enough to fill my mini pt.
single coil vs dual coil ..... I was going to buy a few more glass tanks last night (the Davide dual bottom coil with the aspire heads are WONDERFUL btw), and almost accidently bought the single bottom coil versions rather than the dual coil versions.
This got me thinking what exactly is the difference between the two (besides one has an extra coil) what characteristics makes one better than the other ... does it really MAKE a difference ..... is it simply a "I have TWO coils, therefore my head is TWICE as good as yours kind of thing" Like in Spinal Tap where his guitar went up to 11.

I always love a spinal tap reference.
two coils should provide more vapor. My PT3 has twice the amount of wicks as my PT2, I'm guessing to keep up with the coils.

Dual coils give more flavor/vapor, but they burn through twice the juice in order to do so. For me, the difference in the quality of the vape isn't worth the increased juice use/expense.
Ya - I'd agree with that. I never bought replacement heads for my PT3...I just use the single coil heads. Kind of gimmicky, IMO.
Oh I ended up watching (some of) Europa Report...it was kind of boring. Sad - I'm always looking for a good deep space movie, and Hunger Games 2 (I fell asleep through patches of it)
I wanted to watch 12 Years a Slave, but I didn't have it in me. I've heard a lot of good things about it.

imo, Sean is wrong! *no wait, he didn't say that, did he?*...*yup, he sure did!*...*OMG*...
t hunk the texture of the vape and the "thickness" of it are wicked pissa for the right juices. cinn roll, peanut butter, sticly bun, van cup cake, ie, bakery juices are phenomenal in the bdc. cooler vapes may not be, root beer is better in a ptank2 and my coffee liquere tastes best in an ARO. i heven't made up my mind on dulce de leche yet, but it's been in a bdc for a month now.
in the aspire bdc, there are no wicks, hence no wicking issues. when i soak bcc coils, the wicks need to be changed and the rating of the coil goes up. in bdc coils, after a toke or 2, the coils go right back to their previous rating. not sure how many soaks the bdc are good for, but for many juices, they rock!
and that makes Sean wrong!
Dual bottom coils do burn thru the juice. But not as fast as the KFL and Russian. 1/3" of wick in the PT coil vs 3" of wick in the KFL and Russian.You want intense flavor, I guess you have to pay.
I do like the warmer, more intense flavor of the dual bottom coils. When they are done right. Kanger did not do them right. Aspire [Nautilus] did them right. But those Aspire coils are crazy expensive at like $3.50 each. I'll pay for the extra juice a dual bottom coil burns thru, but I won't be spending $3.50 per coil.
Hmmmm I'm not sure Sean is wrong .... he just said the difference wasn't worth the extra expense, and in that he may be right for himself.
But, I enjoy the texture/thickness of my vape .... and I've gone from the iClear30s to the Davide BDC, so I've never tried a single coil. As far as the expense ...... I'm old .... my kids don't NEED an inheritance (I got mine ... they can get theirs .... lol) so damn the dollars full speed ahead!!!!!!!!!
As far as juice consumption .... I guess I don't vape as much as I think I do ... I filled my tank yesterday morning, and I still have almost 1/2 tank left.

I vote for shakeyWelcome former lurker and new friend! I really like the cuc mint too. It's subtle with 2 flavor shots. I might add more flavoring when I do my own mix. It's very nice in the summer on a hot and steamy day.
Welcome, also, to Shakedowncircus! Do you have a nickname you prefer?
i'm just playing with Sean!
the advantage of bcc coils is that you can re-coil or re-wick them. they are cheaper, 6 bucks for 5, vrs 10 bucks for 5. alot depends on how many re-uses you can get out of the bdc. if you want a nice, warm, luscious vape, only RBAs and the pricey Nautilus are better.
JQ is talking about the Nautilus, they use a different coil.
I think I'll put myself in the Sean camp with the Nautilus .... I don't think the vape experience difference between my Davide with an aspire BDC head and a Nautilus would warrant the expense.
and there ya go....hahaha.....that's pretty much the bottom line for that "rodent" like fuzzy creature.....he's about to lose his nuts....and to keep things on topic...for the person seeking savory flavors.....Udderly Nuts is quite fabulous, along with Toasted Almond, Peanut Butter and Graham Cracker. Have a groovy morning. I may need to sleep sometime quite soon.
Hard for me to say without knowing what kind of birds those are to put size into proportion, but the prairie dogs are definitely bigger than our gophers - other than that they look pretty much identical. They're both ground squirrels so it doesn't really matter anyways, the poor thing is about to lose his nuts!!
Good morning. 
Sean, that must be it - there must be a 'shelf life' to Boom Choco-Latte.
Sure didn't have much of a taste at all to me vaping the entire bottle.
As I had mentioned it was not bad because it didn't taste like anything.
Maybe the faintest hint of latte.
On another note - vaping midwest tobacco. Got it as a sample with no
shots. And it's not bad at all. In fact it's pretty good, and if it had a coupla
shots it would be even yummy.
Whodathunkthat?
Onward.
