No questionnaire ahead of time. Judge gave a very brief description of the case and that from her experience it may last around 10 days. She then listened to our reasons for possibly not being able to serve and took notes but didn't excuse anyone yet. She had us take the questionnaire back out to the waiting room to complete then could leave, but have to return on Monday. So I guess after those are reviewed some may be excused right away and others will be interviewed before deciding.
The questionnaire was 9 pages and you answer free-form. Lots of questions, page after page about whether you could be impartial or uncomfortable about illegal aliens, sexually explicit talk/pictures, do you have personal experience with victims or perps, etc... and then the last question was: What do you like to do in your spare time? :blink: Guess they wanted to lighten the mood after all that downer stuff.
Went through that with an asbestos case once. Got selected after the questionnaire, but got excused by the plaintiff's atts after 2 days of questioning by both sides. They ask really bizarre questions sometimes, because they're looking for something specific (probably referring to a weakness in their case) and seeing if you're "one of those people" that would go there. Just speak your mind and be totally open with your opinions. You never know what that "something" is (I sure didn't).

Just stand up and say, "I really have no problem with this case, your honor. But you and your high and mighty attitude... Well, that will just have to stop, right here and now!!!"

...And I guaranty you will be home before lunch. :)
...or be at her "home" (jail) for lunch! :)

Answer to the bolded. I stay home and clean my guns, like the voices told me to. Never know when you're going to run into one of those child molesters.

LOL, well I don't know about going home after that -- unless my new home is the county jail.

SI's RY4 is really good and I'm not an RY4 fan. The 24mg has a hearty flavor and good TH. Just throwing that out there.

Totally agree with you there. In fact, there is another thread on ECF that compares numerous RY4s and the SI version ranked in the top 10 (last time I looked).

p.s., sorry about your father :(

That was awesome, rave! Yes, I'm stalking the mailman, TODAY! I checked on my order and it's out for delivery, already! :D

Ahhh - You're playing one of my favorite games: Stalking the mailman! View attachment 67343

I think we need a replay of Vapian's Mailman Blues for all the new Volties.

Wow.....I am thoroughly impressed. I have always been impressed by SI's quality, and they are my fav blank carto, a MUST-HAVE for us who use our own juices, but now I'm even more so. I have been stalking the site for a week or more, in need of blanks, cause I let my stash get too low. When they came up 'in-stock' on Friday, I placed an order for 6 boxes (& a battery!), and I couldn't believe I got a tracking # before I ate dinner that evening! It's almost here, due by Monday! I am just so thrilled! These blanks make my juices taste sooooo good, and add vapor in my opinion.
Also, I have the Mega PCC, love it, and I saw a post where someone said they understood it being discontinued because the cartos fall out when opened. Well, I just wanted to mention that you have to leave the rubber condoms on the cartos. Then they fit snug, no problems.

Do not expect any less from SI - they are on top of Customer Service IMO!

And if they say there is a problem with their delivery or something of that nature you can trust they aren't just trying to pull one over on you and they WILL come through.:):evil::)

The cartos are pretty good. Being one who hates filler cartos, the SI cartos work well and give a clean flavor due to the design. They are very similar to a regular atty with a built in drip design in the way the center tube and filler work. With the coil on the bottom and no filler coming in contact with coil, there's no burning filler taste.

I think that another reason the Mega PCC is being discontinued is because of its poor charging performance. See steeljan's Channel - YouTube. Before you jump on me as a SI basher, remember Steeljan has consistently praised the Volt as the best PV on the market.

I came across this video while I was researching the Volt. I am someone who has a ton of mods and am looking for a simpler method of vaping while I am out and about. Any advice from Volt owners about the best package and/or combo of parts to buy as an intro to Volt vaping would be appreciated.

Nobody thinks you are bashing -- in addition to Jan's review I did my own experiments and found the charging capacity & times to be terrible for 78mm batteries, which is all I use. And we all posted our findings here. The specs were misleading (if not down right wrong). The 'mega' was only added because people wanted one, but SI didn't invent it. I have the same one from another source but usually recommended that people not waste their money on it.

But the new one that is coming soon is supposed to have a better battery that can actually give multiple full charges. I am anxiously awaiting to see how it looks.

oh sorry... to answer about advice on combo packs & equipment....

Buy at least one of the Sampler packs to figure out what flavor(s) float your boat. A 78mm battery - I prefer auto, you may prefer manual if you are used to using mods. The USB charger if you don't already have one to fit a KR808. Those will give you an idea if you want to dive in further.
