RVers...

This is the forum I use for all my RV knowledge. I have never seen an argument on it - not saying there are not any - the people are real helpful - some times to technical, but real helpful...

Not nice semi...but funny

What do you mean not nice - that is what she said (LOL)... and I played it up a bit also... tonight I am eating Tuna Fish sandwiches for dinner... She really was looking forward to lobster (LOL)...

I have one 18650 mod - more of a dust collector... To big to carry in a pocket and I am always on the move. My Ego's and my Volts are easy to carry around. When XMas gets here or when I hit one year I plan on upgrading, but I want something around the 14500 size - like the Provape 1, but it is not variable and it does not have a control on the voltage. I want one or the other or both if I can find it. I want interchangeable batts, but not give up the size factor...

ProVari Mini??? LOL.....coming out in black end of the month. I'm lusting after one, but the budget definitely won't tolerate it after the V2.

I have looked at it - several times, but it still has the fat batts... I like the 14500 form size - do not know why, but it is the largest batt I would want - well maybe a 16??? would be okay. Everyone has gone to the fat 18650 batts and I still want pocket size... I guess I could go out in my dungarees - they have large pockets, but I do not think my wife would agree...

Oh yes, Semi! He loves it. And when I ask him what he is working on, I get an answer like "something for mobile". Or "Sorry, I can't talk about it". He says he does mostly "back-end stuff"; again, I have no clue what that means. I gave up understanding after he took "Indiscreet Equations" when in high school

Geez....another new thingy coming out next week from Vision.....Scorpion (at least that is the name at GV). Can't tell for sure yet.....but looks kinda like a 3ml Phoenix that toploads like a Stardust....that would be pretty cool....I could live without the syringe very happily. Also new stardusts coming.....and then more new stardusts that are rebuildable. All this new stuff is actually pretty cool.....things are getting easier and better pretty rapidly right now. All I want is easy to fill, tastes good, no polyfill, and minimal fiddle.....but it is looking more possible than it was not that long ago.

Sigh... minimal fiddle. Bliss.

Me too... and form factor... I have read enough about box mods and I like to work with wood that I have thought about building my own, but I do not know enough about the electronics side to get that part the way I would want and I do not want a plastic box...

No! No! No! I haven't even put the new Phoenix stuff through their paces yet. For 45 years I smoked the same brand - easy-peasy. All these new gadgets, must get control of myself and resist.

Likely the best guitarist you've never heard of .. the great Tommy Emmanuel channeling Les Paul ..

Thanks Willie - very nice. Had to wait until I got back to my good Internet connection to listen to it.

He definitely had some mileage on that guitar...

It's been raining all day here and my connection is crappy.

I know.....but the constant quest for vaping perfection is kind of fun....definitely helps me not think about the old cigs...lol. It is pretty tough on the budget though. I'm looking at my purchases this month, and starting to get a little panicky about the payments that have to be made before the next payday

I have also been trying some new juices. Ordered some stuff from Mrs T's Bakery.....other than one, I'm feeling pretty disappointed with them. They have steeped for over 2 weeks, but I'm still getting really muted (or weird) flavors. Lots of people rave about them....maybe just my taste buds. Anyone else tried them??

We have been getting rain also, but it has been major drops for 20 minutes and then the sun comes back out and then rain again (back and forth)...

Yeah, wtf is wit that?

1. Smokers are dumb. We all know that. So they can't figure out complicated stuff.

2. Smokers stay with the same brand. I did. I stayed with Salems forever. So shoot me.

3. Smokers don't like innovation. They just wanna smoke.

4. So why the eff do we want to jiggle all this stuff so badly?

5. What's with that?

6. What the eff?

We have obsessive behaviors/addictive personalities.....or we wouldn't have smoked all those years...lol. So now, we have to find something more "positive" to be obsessive about.

Anyone hear from Tx today, I didn't spot any posts from him today in the thread, hope he's doing alright.

 

[harleydiva]

So...I tried a new thing. I cleaned my Stardusts, and a couple of Phoenix XLs, using a friend's ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. Just used plain water.....and then changed water for rinse cycle......worked like a charm!! They came out all sparkly and clean, and worked like brand new. Ordered one from Amazon today. Some people use white vinegar first, then water....but just plain water worked great for me. Ordered one that also has room for my glasses, DVDs, and my roommate's dentures...LOL.

Anyone else tried this method?

Not today, he checks in when he is at the hotel. He must be spending more time at the hospital. Our prayers are with him and his family...

I'm back for another infrequent visit. I haven't caught up in the forum yet.

I feel for you man. I went thru similar with my mom several years ago,8 months bedridden at my sister's home with the last month incoherent and Hospice assisting.

Thanks for the help, by upping my nic level I had my last cig on April 24th.

I received my latest and greatest order last Friday, a Kgo kit and some Ego Vision Clearomizers. I am in vaping heaven now, no more constantly charging those dang little batteries and the flavors are much better also.

 

[Semiretired]

You are more than welcome Richard. That is what we are here for - to help fellow vapers... When I first got here a lot of good people helped me so I like to assist where I feel I can...

Thanks for dropping by. Do it more often - we enjoy new yarns anytime any day ...
