And let's not forget Tesla's plan for free electricity for everyone.

Wireless electricity, if I remember correctly. Basically, there would have been power transmitters and receivers, the electricity would have passed through the air.

Thru the air or thru the ground. Don't really remember either.
But that would have put a plethora of industries out of bizness.
Electric companies
Wire factories.
Pole factories
Component factories (insulators, relays, etc)

Yeah, through the air. Can you imagine everyone walking around with their hair always standing up on end. Vitalis would have been the company to buy stock in if it had taken off... :lol::lol::lol:
Heh, pomade or vaseline.

That is a 2016 Dyna lowrider, it replaced a 2000 fatboy, that replaced a 96 sportster, that replaced a 1988 softail that replaced a.............well you get the drift my screws have been lose for a while.
SCHWEET! My first was a '79 LowRider. My currewnt scoot is an '07 Softail Custom. Even the twin cams will still vibrate some screws loose, ha, ha! Great to have ya here!

I have the cherry but haven't tried it yet. I was thinking about using it with something chocolate. Have the Lucky Shot, & need to raise the % I think. Got the Bluerazz, but can't like raspberry, so mix it for family.
There's a tipping point on the Lucky Shot, Kenna. I started @ 8% and thought, Mmmm, more would be better so I bumped to 10%. IDK, maybe I over breathed it or something but it seemed to actually have LESS flavor so the next batch, I bumped again, to 12% and it got almost a burnt smell, right in the bottle and vaping it was almost the same. I cut it back with some straight base and that seemed to help and just did a new batch, back at the original 8% and so far, it smells great in the bottle, it's still steeping while I finish off the last of the cut 12%. It's a fantastic flavor but I think it's one you can go TOO BIG with. It really does pair well with all kinds of flavors and makes great Banana Cream Pie, other pies and Cheese Cake recipes come alive. It's also my go to ADV as a stand alone. :) :thumbs:

@LittleBird , Ya, very cool spacer Myrany found! :thumb: If you have a contact tang to bend down a little bit, that's definitely the route to go. ;)

Damn I didn't get a gun. I was going to do that but it's hard to remember the 3rd Wednesday of the month only day you can get a concealed weapons permit without having to drive 120 miles RT.
In Texas, you don't need any kind of license to keep a gun in your home or car. Only to carry it on your person.
But, But, But... :D
It's ok. We understand. Boy, do we!

Haven't pushed the button yet on the Pico - not sure I need a 75w device and I think I am getting more and more where I do not even take my PV into the store anymore unless it is a big shopping spree in the mall...
A little extra power doesn't hurt. But, isn't the Pico close to the size of the little iStick that got this whole itty bitty trend started? What a perfect little thing for carrying anywhere.
Ok. :)

- Everyone agrees that reading the Stockpiling thread is expensive.
- That said, people are still buying stuff that they need, want, or that is shiny.
- They're also buying nic. Still. But not synthetic. Although there's been some conversation about it. But peeps aren't sure...
- The K5 is good, but Legs was mad at SVM, but he's over it, now.
- Diver likes his new mod. A lot.
- Deb left and came back. But you knew that.
- Mike and Janet just left to see daughter and son in law, and to be there for the birth of their new grand baby. This is the best news!

I'm sure I left stuff out, but this really about covers it. Go read the BP. :)

Muah! :wub:
Thank you, Little Bird. Of course, I had to be caught up in order to read this.
Got my package from DFW. No signature asked for. Maybe the email was an automated thing that only applies inside Texas...
I just got a package from them. No signature required. Just left it in my mailbox.
Speaking of preparedness - is everyone comfortable with their stocking up efforts???
Yes and no.

I've been vaping for 5 1/2 years. I have PIF'ed a lttle here and there. But, that still leaves lots and lots of stuff left over. Plus, I've been DIY'ing almost from the beginning. Also, I've picked up a mech here and there and stockpiled nic.

I could probably live the rest of my life on what I already have. Yet, there are a few more things I'ld like to have before the Dooming Date.

I don't know that I'll ever FEEL prepared enough.
Where have you been Miss Missy?
Working, trying to sleep, and feeling overwhelmed. By the time I get caught up on all my threads, I'm usually way past being coherent enough to post.

the Pico is a little shorter (well, the battery cap makes it about the same height), but it is wider and heavier. I do love mine, though!

I tried Lucky Shot as a stand alone when I got it a month ago & wasn't impressed. Itvs been sitting gor a month so, taking a chance on steeping, I just added it to the last of the Lotta Latte in a tank. The LS smells better than it did. Gonna try it.

Holy Crap ... Flamingotutu was right and I was wrong. Pennsylvania vape shops are doomed. Our Democratic gubner is tax happy. He already raised gasoline tax using the justification that oil prices had come down. Now included in the new budget package he got this included.

"ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES: Imposes a 40 percent tax on the wholesale price of electronic cigarettes, including vapor producing devices and liquid cartridges, to generate $13 million."

I'm not sure yet if it includes Vape Shops having to pay the 40% tax on existing inventory. It might.

It does and they have to pay it the 1st of July, as I understand it. Here's a dedicated thread CALL TO ACTION! - Pennsylvania: 40% tax = game over for vape Pay attention to the important posts on page three.
