Good morning everyone!
Another fine day in slightly-too-sunny CNY
Weather's been absolutely gorgeous, so of course I'm tied up on a proposal -- it keeps me from getting a sunburn
The SDNA will be in tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, want to try an SS 316L coil with something that handles TC well, see how I like it. I've been very happy with my twisted kanthal coils, which also work great on mechanicals, however trying new things if part of the vaping game.
Enjoying a cup of hot cold-brewed coffee. It has a notably smoother taste than a hot brewed version, almost like it has cream and sugar added to it. It's basic chemistry -- hot brewing releases acids, cold brewing doesn't.

Thanks for the info fellas.....I've been looking hard at every mod available...Pretty sure I'm gonna add a couple of SMY SDNA 75s into the cart as soon as I get the funds into the account later today...The Dagger??? It's dang sure a great looking and well built mod....that chip though......Who made it???? It's 80 watts.....Sunday when the screen would try and turn off it would flash and then stay on....Somehow it rectified itself....Then a couple of times after a battery change it shot to 80 watts from 15.5....You gotta be fast on the inhale for 80 to not burn your sheet too the ground...Overall I like the Dagger but not confident enough in it to add another to the cart...I've had DNAs in the past but I prefer mods with removable 18650s....so SMY....
Coffee....I swill 40 ounces a day from the Keurig....I don't use pods....I would but plastic toxins and such are not part of the plan....When dieting and that is most of the time I use Stevia in the Raw...I know it has erithroyl or whatever that chemical is to bleach the stevia....harm reduction and it's available....off diet I use coconut palm sugar....Today I forgot the stevia and there was little difference....I use organic half and half....All hot brewed and the acids??? well I like the bite....Cold brewed??? Well currently I'm not capable but it's intriguing as I've really enjoyed cold brews in the past....Trust you will break a sweat with a 20 oz in your hand and temps near 100*...again thanks for the info Markus............
The sheet I get myself into....half way through the Ranger upgrade I'm kicking the idea that O could have just sold it....the labor...parts cost....what I could have pocketed from the Ranger....add some savings and I could have upgraded....I know my next 4X4 will be a Tacoma....My hopes with the upgrades were to ride on past house payments and far enough into savings land to cash out on a low mileage Tacoma....that required sweat equity....Happy to say that all turned out well...The Ranger sits a little higher....rides a little stiffer....steers a little lighter....and stops a whole lot better....It will command a better price when sold and I return to Toyota land....Next it will enter the shop and I'll lay down an El Dee spec finish on it....It's black and that last fella that painted it.....well......guess there's a reason everyone wants me to look at their ride when they need paint work......Compromising ain't what I do..........

Battery sale at My Freedom Smokes 20 % off get the LG2's for $6.36 for example use code 20BATT. Sale started Aug. 2, I don't see an end date.
The cold brew is super easy to make. Coarse grind. About 6 liquid ounces (volume) of coffee with 32 ounces of water. 12 hours of sitting time in a covered pitcher. Strain It to get the liquid concentrate.
I'm just finishing off my late morning hot cup of coffee -- 1/2 concentrate, 1/2 water, microwaved. It tastes sweet as is, nothing added.
A "breakfast blend" generic coffee works well for this.
If you'd like to try some of the stuff I've been roasting, PM your address. I can grind it, or send whole bean.

Okay, I just unboxed the IPV 400 an half hour ago and now we're talking. I can't imagine a more perfect form factor for a 2 battery mod. This should make the D3 obsolete its just that small, perfect out and about mod or anytime. Barring any functionality problems I don't know why anyone wouldn't like this based on size.
The only cons that it might have is the screen is teeny and the batt door seems chintzy but not a huge deal to me.

Mark that is a most gracious offer but I don't wanna put you out....I am interested in the cold brew though...6 ounces of coarse ground coffee....32 ounces of water....12 hour steep and strain....Couple questions....Steep at room temperature or in refrigerator ???? How long does it store in the refrigerator....Pretty sure I could kill a gallon in less than a week....I shun commercial beverages....Might just pick up a grinder and actually use it for coffee this time.....Thanks for all the useful info !!!!!!!
Batteries ?????? I just snagged a couple of 2 packs of those LG 18650 2500mah for $10 a pop...Less with the Ecig10 code mark posted....I scored 2 more Crown IIs....4 LGs....SMY SDNA 75....E-Fest 6 bay charger{not the blue tooth}and 4 packs of Crown II coils....I put the funds in to throw down pre the 8th.....decided the Hell with the 8th but still ordered some sheet....I got my 2nd KF5 today....With the deals at Ecig.com I was gonna order 2 SMYs but only got one to have a look see...I stated I didn't like the Wismec grippy surface....Over time it turns white and falls off....The SMY has grippy so I'm taking a look see...Black only in stock and that is my default color but the camo or stainless could get order #2 should I like it...I'm good with my past DNAs and I saw some guy fully dis-assemble a SDNA 75 on the toob last night....Looks good to me...

El Dee, the offer's always valid, I roast for fun . Good quality green beans cost only $5 - $6/lb.
The 12 hour steep is sitting outside on a counter top. Alternately you can steep in the refrigerator, for 24 hours.
The filtered concentrate stores fine in a refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
I keep topping off the jug in the refrigerator, give it a cleaning every couple weeks.
The SMY is a sweet price point
For a cold coffee mix the concentrate 1:1 with water. For extra punch pour the concentrate straight over ice (that has a good dose of caffeine)

Perfect timing on the DNA 75
There's a new release of the escribe sw, supposed to improve 316l tc performance.
DNA 200 Watt

Last week I said I couldn't justify the cost of the Therion. This week I told myself I'm worth it! Already downloaded the Escribe sw, but thanks for the link, Mark. Too tired to play with the program tonight.
Katie has been cycling through rage and paranoia the last week or two as her dementia progresses. She has also become very resentful that I spend my Friday afternoons at the vape shop, so she was primed and ready for me when I got home this eve. She's finally gone to bed. I'm a little rattled as I wonder how long I can do this caregiving thing on my own. It's hard to stay calm when someone is screaming in your face.
Nice haul on all the new vape gear, Dee! I'll just be right over here stroking my new Italian leather

Glad to see Escribe carrying all DNA's on one site !!!
