Well, my nicotine and VG came in. I am now waiting on my flavors, which will probably be in today. I don't know if I'll start right away though. I have other juice to get rid of.

:banana:...I got my pg and vg about 10 min. ago.......waiting on nic and flavors, and...I'm diving in as soon as they arrive...tomorrow...or Monday. In the meantime, some yiddle angel :wub: sent me a bottle of pre-mixed creme brulee....so happy to have some good juice to vape.....flavorless, it turns out, just doesn't do it for me...:blush:

Interesting... another set of numbers to ignore on caller ID...

I use a type of an answering system - does not ring in the house - computer takes care of it - if they leave a message - it emails me the message - if not nothing shows up. It costs about $25 a year and for me it is worth it... I even set up an special email account for receiving them - I check it in the morning and at night.

Thanks for that - with no opt out provision - that only leaves leaving them, which I have no problem doing. As long as Amazon does not adopt the policy I am sure they will pick up a lot of new customers.

Exactly.....I have caller id and never answer if I don't recognize person or number......don't get enough messages on my cell to worry about over usage. and I've never given them that number, though reading through that they may obtain it from elsewhere :-x I don't give out that number for a reason and resent my privacy being invaded without my permission.

Same (non)action here. Funny how telemarketers don't leave a call back number... :spammers:

Of course, they will say that you DID give permission, by accepting the new terms of service. And that may actually work as their "legal" way out of the do not call registry. But I still don't have to pick up my phone.

Wow - no body on the porch all afternoon. You folks hanging at the hangout instead?

We use a system that doesn't ring in the house too. We have no land-lines connected. Caller Id flashes on our TV screen. Once every couple weeks I check calls / messages using my iPad. No one we care to talk with uses our land line number. We only have it 'cause our monthly bill is less w/ a package for phone, internet & TV.

The ideas being thunk out loud for making PVs sound amazing. I know very little about the hows, whats, whens and whys of ECF rules.

I hope that everyone will take care, though, to avoid posting anything that could be construed as an offer to buy or an offer to sell, no matter how friendly, innocent, informal and non-binding.

If my concern has no basis, I'll happily accept being straightened out and I'll replace this post with a picture of a cat.

The problem has been rectified, and we are minding our P's and Q's. Keep your cat for another time.

Is the cat for sale?

Dang, I posted the message on the wrong Porch anyway. I meant for it to be out Back.

I got my Heatvape Invader Mini yesterday. It works fine with Kanthal coils but I have no way to try it in temperature control mode until my nickel 0.15 ohm pre-built coils arrive, hopefully tomorrow.

Got sum worthwhile road mileage in today!

@2legsshrt, @MattB101 ... looks like Evolv is doubling down on the Asian chips. They're about to release a new DNA board w/ 200watts, firmware upgradeable temp controlled board, works with Ni, Ti and other wires. It will require a 3S Lipo batt (whatever that is) or 3x 18650s to power it.

Will this be for vaping or a pocket sized barbeque? :D

That's a compact looking mod. Let us know how it works out for you.

3s = Three cell, IIRC from my R/C buggy days. I think the packs I ran in the big buggy were four cell. These are very high discharge, high capacity type LiPo batteries. You have to be careful charging and discharging them with the power they have but I doubt a couple of little coils would push one near as hard as a 1/8 scale RC motor.

I was wondering when we'd start seeing the hobby grade multi cell packs in vape mods. A little 18650 flashlight battery is a toy compared to these big LiPo packs. They'll probably require more sophisticated charging equipment as well if it's anything like we ran in the cars. Each cell needs to be monitored while it's charging. If one goes bad and you run it, the pack can start puffing up like a roasted marshmallow and they get very hot.

Another part of the pre-announcement I saw said "balanced charging" but until I read your post I had no idea what that meant.
