SteamTuners gave the nautilus and nautilus Mini a long-awaited face lift!

HB those are gorgeous! What options did you select to get that look?

Received my Radius today. Goodbye VS dna 30's and 40's.
I ordered a few more to solidify my commitment!

For you folks that have had them for a few months, how are they holding up as far as scratches, dings and whatnot? Any drops to a concrete floor stories?

While I haven't yet dropped it on concrete, there is no evidence that I've dropped it at all, anywhere. It gets dropped at least once a day, as do all my mods.

I think ECF must have partied too much last night. It seems to have a hangover.......
Maybe it's going out of business too?!?

Excuse me?! I have severe arthritis in my hands, and other places that don't affect my vaping.
I thought perhaps you were like our Robin who drops everything. We affectionately call her Spazz. :)

I'm arthritic myself...though not severe...yet.

After a bunch of unsuccessful treatment lately, I'm a bit sensitive, sorry. :)

No apology needed. My comment could have been phrased better. Just an innocent banter. I know it can be frustrating to live with arthritis. It's a cruel condition with seemingly few or inadequate remedies. I was told I had arthritis when I turned 40 years old. That was awhile ago and it hasn't improved. Fortunately, it isn't severe. More like a nasty nuisance than crippling. So I can somewhat imagine the frustration living with severe arthritis and do not wish it upon anyone. What are some of the latest treatments (that didn't seem to help you)?

This all started to happen about when I turned 40 myself. I'm 48 now. Cortisone shots help, but didn't last that long, so we tried something called a rooster shot. That could take up to 3 doses to start working, and I've had 2 so far. And no, I don't cockledoodledoo at daybreak, much to my husband's relief.

Originally, Dr. said it was osteoarthritis, but then thought it could be psoriatic arthritis. I told him on visit number 1 that I had psoriasis, but I guess it didn't register. So, I'm getting shots for that as well. So far all I am is itchy for the psoriasis starting to clear a bit. Too soon to see if this will work.

Then of course, we have pain killers that don't work, but make me nauseous. I know they don't work because I stopped taking them while I had the flu recently, and nothing changed.

To tie this all into vaping - I check my vapemail tracking online rather than walking to the mailbox because it's less painful that way. I stopped rebuilding and use clearos now. And I really want to go to Vape Bash again this year, but I really hate asking for special treatment (i.e. not waiting in line). Although, I'm well known in my vaping circles, and can get away with stuff like that.

So, that leaves me feeling like a bitter pin cushion. :)

So in other words, there still isn't anything that REALLY helps beyond minor relief. You'd think with so many people inflicted and advances in medicine we'd be further along. Vioxx seemed promising at first but then all the problems that brought on.

Yep, that's about it.
