Ugh. Sorry - I was really, really hoping you hadn't taken it apart already, or had missed something when you did. To quote Oz, gaming level PS's aren't the cheapest things out there.

I have to open up one of my servers this weekend and replace a failed hard drive. I'm going out to the hardware store for a dust mask first. That box has been running without issues (or cleaning) for over five years, and I'm slightly scared at what I'm going to find.

yah i think i need a dust mask before i go back in Lol.

My vape mail from MBV should be in today, ordered a 30ml Lightspeed (just finished my 15ml well steeped sample) want one more go at it before I start buyin' biggins and a couple Hawk Sauce flavoring, not a big order, just kind of a fill in ;)

Have a decent sized TFA order comin' as well, lookin' forward to givin' watermelon and grape with a little menthol a mix :)

I did a test batch of a Thug juice inspired DIY. Grape juice, Hawaiin Punch, Watermelon and menthol. Sadly enough I only mixed 10 and it was gone in a day. I will need to order more TFA Grape Juice to give er another go.

You wanna talk about overpriced housing, I live in a three story 2100 sf house, very tall and skinny, we in tha hood refer to them as bird houses, way out in the burbs of Vancouver, would $450k startle anyone?

Computer Cleaning - Uhg - I finally broke down a few years ago and just set a reminder to break it down and blow it out once a month. With the ever higher and higher clock speeds and the need for either a LOT of fans or liquid cooling the things just suck in way too much dust these days. I let my current build go for 3 months at one time and fogged the entire front porch in when I took it outside to blow it out.

Now I just take it in the shop once a month, set the air pressure at 30 PSI and blast it clear. I do put a finger on the fans now though. I actually spun one to screaming state using 90 PSI air one day. Was not a happy day, it was the fan on the CPU cooler.

Helps to have a compressor :)

@.@

That is why I live in the country, a few acres with a house, 150K. Cheaper than silly city tax rates as well.

Not at all. Certain areas of Montana are downright ridiculous, thanks to the Californians.

I looked at moving to Montana or one of the Dakotas at one time. Anything that I wanted was either owned by the Government or priced as if I was buying a gold mine. Really beautiful country up there though.

OK so... Long term storage of Juice and Nic base.

Argon or Nitrogen to displace the oxygen in the bottle?

Heads off to DIY section to repost this :p

Never even thought about it, let alone tried it, but there's a reason argon is favored in the wine industry - it's heavier.

It's just in select areas. Gallatin Valley is the worst, followed by the area surrounding Flathead Lake. Most of people who move in from out of state are from California, Texas, & Minnesota/Michigan, in that order. The Minnesotans & Michiganders aren't much of a problem, the Texans are probably the least problematic of all of them, but we like to make fun of them anyways... then there are the Californians. There is no dirtier word than 'Californian' here. They decide to sell everything & move here, not caring what they pay when they get here. I've seen a pole barn with 250 sq.ft. converted to a living space sitting on a few acres of a flat rock garden... sold for just under 400k. Then when they move here, unlike the midwest folks & Texans, they try to change this into the liberal crap they just left. It doesn't sit well with the locals since this is by far the most libertarian section of the country - we don't give a crap what you do, just leave us alone & leave the government out of it. A lot of the state hasn't been affected by it yet, but Bozeman is the worst of it. That city hasn't been Montana in decades. MSU doesn't help either.

OK so... Long term storage of Juice and Nic base.

I would guess nitrogen but never tried. Hops are flushed with nitrogen before long term freezer storage, though. They're both inert, so I don't think either would create a reaction.

Living in a box of CelluCotton
Good morning all. Had a couple beers last night, feeling it because I have zero tolerance anymore. Old lush me is laughing at new, not such a lush me. Drinking coffee, feel like I need to guzzle a couple gallons of water. Beers and chain vaping, I'm a walking Sahara.

Have I shared my Thug Juice knockoff with you guys? All TFA, but for 50ml I mix 3ml each of Watermelon, Grape, and Honeydew. Then add 1ml of Koolada. Add menthol to your preference and mix it at whatever nic level you like. Not sure how that works out %age-wise, but I will tell you what - it's tasty!

Ok, water....

We have a bad problem with californication as well. They do not like living there because of the expense they created with the endless stream of government overhead and regulation so they move here and promote more of the same... Not all of them are bad people though.

I was thinking the same on inert gas. You can get either in preservation grade fairly easily, they are available as home preservation kits for food and beverage. I have a few large nitrogen bottles, they are filled with medical grade because the place I buy gasses at does not want to stock several grades and it is cheap. I have a large bottle of argon as well, it is definitely not food or medical grade. Just the standard welding grade. Argon wine preservation kits are cheap though.

I figured I would bag one less deer this year to save room for nicotine reserves :)

True, but a lot of wine makers use nitro simply because of the major cost difference.

Oh, absolutely. I don't think there's an appreciable difference in the actual function between the two - either of them will keep the O2 out just fine. Was just pointing out the reason why argon is considered an alternative at all.
