Oh, Oh. I did it again

[super_X_drifter]

How about snagging the package from the mailbox, swaggering purposefully down the driveway to the house, going into the kitchen, defiantly plopping the box on the table, shooting a John Wayne look at the Mrs., and saying, "I think I'll have a fresh cup of coffee, before I open my new REO" (Hey, we all have our fantasies, right?)

That does sound like a scene from a great movie. I like it. I'd revise it slightly:
"Hey hon, go pick up the box that I just tore off my new REO - it's out in the driveway. And when your done with that, make me another latte and bring it to me in the office while I set this bad boy up".

But my wife is 100% Colombian, highly educated and very proud. She has little tolerance for heroics or any signs of defiance. I'm cool with that. I'm cool.

All wrong. This is the correct method:

"what's that you have?" "oh the vapemail" "what is it?" "oh - it's a grand for me and a mini for you - i figured i'd get you something you are comfortable with that has a decent battery life"
"awww - ik hou van jou"

This is the incorrect way:
"Hey - wasted all the food budget and rent money on the newest stuff i could find - so we're homeless next week, so make the coffee while you still can" "what did you buy? a new car?" "not exactly - i have a few bucks left - i'm off to the Saloon to see if Tyler can put me up for a few days".

She's an architect -- ruled by logic; no nonsense. You know better than to mess with that dynamic.

Yes, we met at work I'm the same way she just happens to be awesome enough that I tolerate her

Hey Super X, I heard I can use different battery configurations in the Grand; what do you use and why?

I think you might be referring to the 4.8v batts some used to use in there REOs back in the day along with the lifepo4 123 some would stack as well. For 5 and 6 volt vapeing. But this has really become unnecessary with the rba's and kicks, vv that are used for/with the REO now a days and is much safer imo.

I dunno - architects are ruled by form and ideas - cooks are ruled by who peels the vegetables - engineers fix knives and materials.

Oarsmen get to work when their cox gets hard!

Someone tell me what politicians do.

Politicians are ruled by Id -- they want what they want when they want it. Just like 2 year old children.

Simple Texan? No such thing. You know what it means -- the pleasure principal. Good ole' Freud.

Supe, the third battery . . . . . the one in the drawer . . . .. The way I understand it, you'd be better off throwing it into the rotation. I think the lithium batts age just sitting there. Use it while its young and vibrant. Then, when you buy a new one, it'll be . . . . . new.

If they kick anything, it's usually the Grand. Then they use an 18490 battery with it. With the rebuildable attys these days, and the capability of building a coil with as low ohms as you need, I hear about fewer kicks all the time.

I kicked mine today. Just a test though. I used some copper foil tape (used on electric guitars). Cut it so it slipped between the coils and put it in without taking off the backing. No changes to the reo at all. Working great so far.

What I like about the kick is that I don't have to worry about the ohms - it can adjust up and down to match the atty/rba -- and it keeps the vape consistent over time.

Ordering REOs is easy - it's trying to hide the box when you're walking down the driveway from the mailbox and smuggling it into the house that requires careful planning and balls of steel.

I wish it was that easy. My wife is home when the mail comes and she has to sign for it!

Filling a tank for 1ml of liquid?? pfft - i'd have just drank it! Tanks are a tedious exercise that pits futility against patience.

The one thing is tanks make it easy to change up flavors. Not that changing in the Reo is really hard but wash, dry, clean/dryburn rba, etc takes time. I keep several (6-12) different flavors on hand. Some I could change the bottle and go but many are not very complementary and it would taste awful.

Don't get me wrong, Reo is my favorite. Better vape than the others but some of my other stuff comes fairly close.

I know the feeling...my wife works from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays and it seems like all my deliveries come on those days

I hate when she leaves town, which she has to do every few months, but now I try to order during those windows. But my kids will narc me out if they see anything so I still have to be covert

This stuff is hysterical. I have friends who will hide purchases from their husbands (under bed, trunk of car, etc). I had no idea that men do the same.

Remember... the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys!

I haven't hid a purchase from my wife but I have considered having things delivered to work
