I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I own that - although I got the one with the gold rose inlay (same price). It's a workhorse and very nice. In the photo, I'm using a GoGo dual coil carto on an adapter, and a drip tip that I made for it.

I was thinking of getting one of those. You like it?

Really, I don't have any other VV devices to compare it to, but - yeah - I do like it. It's not something I use all the time though because it's just so heavy. 'Course, I'm used to using Volts, so ...

Why are you embarrassed because your collection is rivaling mine. lol It looks nice although a cone cover would look good covering the threads. I like the matching design on the carto and drip tip too!
:2cool:

Actually I do have a thread covering on it now. This pic was taken awhile back.

Which blueberry do you use? I've never found one I liked.

Sandy, a friend of mine vapes blueberry something. I don't remember. It's kind of funny. Whenever I visit him I can tell when he's been vaping the blueberry. It smells like fresh blueberries. He's a sucker for sweets and fruits. He says the blueberry vape is one of his favorites.

When I get back home I'll ask him what it is and where he got it.

I'm just going to keep doing random posts. (I guess I was a posting maniac last night). I have a good internet connection that I will be leaving shortly, because I have to get on the road. (Did anyone read "On the Road" by Jack Kerouack?)

Rave, for as much as I like a big batt, long time between charges, I do really like those 78mm Volt batteries. How did they do that? Great vape on every draw, no need for a primer draw, and they seem to last pretty long between charges. Who says bigger is better? I like SI's liquid as well. I'm going to be a regular customer of SI's.

Can I borrow your mail carrier?

I like the Volt 78's a lot too. The 65's are nice, but don't last nearly long enough. I love the X2 as well (enough to order a second one), but it lacks the lightweight cigarette feel.

Nope - No one can borrow my droopy puppy. Lexi is such a joy. She really takes her mail carrier job seriously too, and is very excited when she see the backpack come out. I'm convinced that dogs really like to feel that they are contributing. I'm going to build a pulling harness for her as well so that she can pull logs. I've already researched the proper configuration so that it will take advantage of her powerful chest muscles and not stress weaker areas. I'm also training her for Search & Rescue so that she can find me or Dave hidden in the woods. It could be a lifesaver if either of us were to injure ourselves. Yesterday she successfully found Dave hiding in an outbuilding a couple hundred feet away. This dog is amazing! :wub:

I have a dilemma. I feel like (for some unknown reason) that I should try to stay current with the political/social/legal workings pertaining to vaping (i.e. e-cigarettes). However, when I begin reading a thread on the subject, my head begins to spin. I never finish the thread, let alone all the links to documents they provide. Does anyone else do this?

You are correct, rave. Dogs want to do something. And not just to entertain us. Those who just have a pet are missing the joys of canine behavior. Sit, lie down, fetch, roll over, shake, etc. are all nice, but there's more.

Contribute is a good word. Dogs are not meant to be pets or owned. They are intelligent and can learn to do many useful things for themselves. Teaching Lexi to find you and do something to save your life is important to you, but it is really important to Lexi. And dogs like to work.

Good job, rave.

When I started in August of 2009, PV's were on the very brink of being banned and there were dramatic court battles and it was all very tense. It was almost a full time job trying to stay current with all of the pertinent threads. It was very stressful. I've given up. Frankly, I've reached a point where I have enough nicquid and equipment to get me through any ban or zombie apocalypse. ;) There are much younger, more vigorous, more connected folks who are on top of it. I e-sign petitions that I see, but I can't stay current anymore.

Point well taken. I don't know what to do anyway, except stock up on nicquid. Which I did even though I stink at DIY. I guess that's what scares me. I would have to vape my own liquid :laugh:

Besides I've never felt that the government/FDA/whoever were concerned about my health. I seem to think it's all about distribution of money.

I've no doubt that it all boils down to money for Big Pharma and Big Tobacco. They are taking a huge hit because of us vapers. There are far fewer of us paying tobacco taxes although that will change very soon. We will be heavily taxed on nicquid which is why it is doubly important for us to learn to make it ourselves. Our improved health means less medical expenses. The most patriotic thing that we can do in this country is get really, really sick, take lots of ridiculously expensive medications, be hospitalized for a long period, and then die before we are old enough to collect Social Security. My :2c:

Verrry clean. I don't care for the large tanks though because they just hold so much that the nicquid gets darker and darker and starts tasting blech. Just my :2c:

I couldn't agree more as I just crapcanned 2ml of my DK DS nectar because of foul taste and really ugly discoloring. It was from the original load of 6.5ml in the 3.0Ω DCT two weeks ago on my Lavatube. I'd have vaped that much in a couple or three days with my eGO-T and been happy. I never could get the Voltage set right with the Lavatube....weak at 3.7V, too hot above that, and strange tasting at any Voltage....so it mostly sat unused. However, the Lavatube does a good job with everything else 510....atty/tank combo, 3.0Ω Boge cartos (really shines @ 3.8-4.2V), and even with the atty/cartridge combo.

I do enjoy the 1.7Ω DC carto/4ml tank with the Inferno battery combination, and it's the wife's favorite. The Infernos fire all day long in the 3.7-4.0 Volt range, but that carto/tank combo isn't compatible with my eGO batteries that fire at average 3.3 Volts. I tried the 3.0 DCT configuration with the eGO batteries but they're too weak on vapor and hit; and, the Inferno batteries are just barely capable of firing them successfully.

My main go-to rig remains the same....eGO-T 2.5Ω SR atty with 1.1ml tank; and I most often switch to eGO battery with 2.0 LR Boge standard cartos.

For my own personal tastes, the Lavatube is overkill I don't need and I truly hate DC cartos except the 1.7Ω DC with the 4ml Volcano TubeTanks. They're just too danged hot and two of the Volcano-supplied Smoketechs died on me within 5 days.

Greetings and welcome to Rich and Purp....everyone have a great week.

Oops....almost let Odell fall through the cracks. A big WELCOME to another from my birthplace....I occasionally get to visit friends in Citra and always slow down each way to gaze fondly at the home on NE 18th Ave (used to be Anthony Rd) where I spent the first 6 months of my life.

I'm with you. Soon as my gallon of PG gets here, I'll have a little over 800ml stocked in that I've successfully cut our nic down to 12mg. I've ordered more flavoring and 100mg nicquid....going to check out FA DS flavoring to see if I can get closer to DS.

You nailed it, rave. I don't even know what to add. I hope your soapbox is big enough for two.
