ETA: you would probably get a good laugh if you saw me building coils, with a mini mag light in my teeth and a magnifying glass in my hand, lol
sounds like how I used to do it, with a small led flashlight tucked up under my chin squinting for all I was worth. Used to take me forever. Finally got a a great set of headband lights from Lowe's for cheap since I don't have room for a magnifying lamp. Still would be nice to have some extra magnification other than my glasses, but the light makes it so much easier. Plan to try some of those cheapo readers next time I go to walmart. Coiling my nuppin used to take me 1.5-2 hrs now it takes me 10 minutes or so.

Don't care much for paw paw the fruit due to the smell.
Never tried paw paws, but always wanted to.

I use the readers over my glases for really tiny close up things like my needlework.

that doesn't sound appetizing at all.

One of those things that if you can get past the smell. least i think as its been a while since Ive eaten one.

Mind you I can drink fish sauce and eat anchovies but yeah the smell of those is off putting.

do you like to eat mangoes? I love em, and really like FA's mango, it's pretty tasty.
Hey Deb Slots told me about 1 and it has been the closest to real Mango I have ever tried it is Hangsen. I think I got it from RTS. I liked it so well I got a 100ml bottle of it.

LOL...I posted a link from staples.ca. I never thought that the lamp would be a Canada only item. My lamp clips onto the side of a desk, it doesn't have a base and with some 2 way tape I taped the switch under the desk beside the clip. I would assume any magnification will help some of us old pharts who's eyes ain't what they use to be. :)
I must be getting old Im beginning to view the monocle (sp) as a practical device,

I love those headband led lights. Now if they just had a 510 connection on them....

Pawpaws grow on my property. Nothing special about them, better than starving and the deer like them.

I like the Hangsen Desert Ship tobacco, the Deluxe Tobacco not so much, threw it out. That is all the Hangsen flavors I have tried.

jup, and these were a 2 pack at lowes for less than 10.00 only 30 lumens I think, but it's not bad. Has the white light, a red one, green one, and a blinking red one. the green one comes in handy if I need to go potty when my SIL is sleeping.

I rarely do baccy flavors but I came across two that were really good. And of course... they discontinued em. :/
have only tried a couple of baccy flavors, but didn't like them. I mostly vape fruity flavors, but occasionally branch out a bit. Now vaping sort of a whiskey pudding which isn't bad. Doesn't really taste like whiskey which is good

I never cared much for them either, but loved the original RY4 flavor, so Im dabbling with tobacco, caramel,creme, and vanilla flavors hoping to get that fix someday.

What's wrong with using these? They work just fine for me

I'm not into the "grassy" "flowery" taste of some tobaccos. But, I've mixed up a couple with a lot of other flavors, and they weren't too bad. One is a Deadly Sin clone - RY4, Butterscotch, Cinnamon Danish. It's quite good. I've also seen a recipe with tobacco and peanut butter that sounds delightful as well....

If your liking the Desert Ship then you'll like Highway and No5, they are very similar in taste. I love my tobacs way more than other flavors in which I use the Hangsens tobacs as a base to pop the other flavors out. I do have a few other flavors mixed as standalones, HS lemon, HS lemonlime, HS coconut, HS grape and HS Italian custard. The mixes say Aug 26 so that gives you a relative idea to how interested I am in blending flavors, and just for fun I made them all 20mls at 10% with no nic. Just had a quick taste of all 4 on the back of my hand now that I'm thinking about them.
HS Lemonlime - really nice taste but a bit too much, probably 6-8% or less would be nice.
HS Lemon - great lemon at 10% but again a bit strong so IMO 8% would be ne next try
HS Grape - kinda disappointing as standalone but mixed with desert ship it tastes good but still generally disapointing.
HS Coconut - sharp acidic/chemical taste so I'll cut it to 5% and see how it goes
HS Italian Custard - I'm not much for vanilla and custard in a vape but if its suppose to taste like flavored sugar cubes then its good

That was the only one from them that I liked. Closest thing to a real Mango I've had.
