Since I never wanted to quit... numbers don't matter to me. Just enjoy vaping more than smoking. Which iz da only reason I quit. In fact, don't even feel like I quit. Just changed to somethin else.

Yes it does. This is the first time in 26 years I've gone more than a few days. I spend a lot on vaping but I'm still saving money.

Have a good Friday, my friends.

A lot of the shinyitis goes away... well, some of it, maybe :lol: once you find what setup keeps you off 'em.

SWEET and enjoy da new 'gifts'.!

Still miss da #20. Sure wish da spring issue was resolved.

Y'know, that should be my next vape project. And now that I have some more-modern gear and don't use mechs as my daily-drivers anymore, I can get around to that... as a "hobby".

I went for a long time depending on those 20's, and some other mechs (clones). But with them, it seemed like daily "it's always something. If it's not one thing, it's another." (thanks Rosanadana). I spent so much time tinkering and maintaining just to have a good ADV, I didn't really feel like 'playing' with the broke ones. My wife is still using the same VV3/Kanger T3S for over a year now, so we were both just coasting along.

These new toys changed all that. The ST Mini (RTA deck) and Lemo have been virtually maintenance-free for a few weeks now, and the iSticks are plug-n-go. And now, the Ego ONEs and Nano are just icing on the cake.

These days I feel like I'm vaping in high cotton. :w00t:

I'm sending this from my phone but not because I want to. Just after I hit submit on my last post, I dumped a full cup of coffee on my laptop! now gotta let it dry out for a few days before I can figure out if it's permanently dead or not, so guess I won't be seeing y'all for a while... don't like using this phone for websites.

Yep - my 1st week w/ an iStick 50 was a positive one. I vaped it a lot on a daily basis and the batt lasted me 5 days. I got used to just grabbing it when I left the house w/o even checking the batt. Most of my other gear, I usually change the batt before leaving the house. Of course I still took a backup or 2 with me.

Oh no! Good luck with that.

I was good for about 6 months...happy with PV/clearo/juice. Somehow I happened to find out about all the new megawatt-miniohm stuff and that triggered the Pavlovian response. I am not a sub-ohmer by any stretch, but I am very happy I found the eGrip. I learned a little bit about rebuilding and got the RBA base for it. Best vape and pocket-pocket friendly device so far.

When you don't see me here, I'm trying to save some money :vapor:

I think we are, Uman. Compared to just a few years back. whether or not one rebuilds, the advances in toppers alone has brought vaping closer to being as "easy" as smoking.

NOT good... You did pull the battery out? If it was black coffee, probably have a better than even chance of it being ok. Cream and sugar, not so good. :glug:

as you can see from above, the thumbnails appear at the end of the message... Just like with the previous version.
I've got to test that statement by trying to insert a thumbnail somewhere other than the end of the message. If the thumbnail doesn't appear after the end of this sentence, then I failed. sloth1.jpg

I've called the uh-oh squad. Uh-oh!

And that's when you're only going out to check the mail, right?

Last night I had to recoil one of my toppers. Great plumes!! This morning I rewicked two. And will check the only one left that hasn't been rewicked recently, soon as I empty it. Been complacent lately.

WHAT?! ONLY FOUR!?!?! :lol:

Hey this ain't so bad after all. After being 'forced' to, I downloaded Firefox for Android, the native browser is... well, not too good + I'd already read that the new forum software is mobile friendly. That, plus speech-to-text on the phone, makes it much easier. Y'all might not be rid of me after all.

Pavlovian, I like that. Especially because it makes it sound less like a character flaw. Like something that I just can't help.

I loved the look and idea of the eGrip right away when it came out. But, it didn't originally have the RBA base. So, I chose to ignore it. I'm thinking or re-visiting it now. It's just such an incredibly compact, pocket-friendly package.

There are pre-built coils/wicks for the eGrip RBA. I'm at 6 weeks with one coil. I change wicks (Japanese cotton) every 4-5 days. There is also an adapter available that is only about $5. It holds the RB A and has a 510 nipple. You can hook it up to another PV and dry burn or check coil wattage. Easy Peasy.

Yay!!!

well there was something else I was gonna comment on, but had to answer something in another thread and forgot to copy it. SO I lost it. But I did find out that if you're answering your +quotes, and a thing pops up and says there are more posts, click here to view them, you can add them to an already quoted + quote in your reply.
