Prize winners announcement thread!

[Aurora-Oblivion]

I also received my prize liquids from Vapingzone, big thanks to @louielouie and everyone at Vapingzone for their extended generosity to the top 20 winners!

Does anyone know if VZ's liquids are freshly made to order, or have they been premade weeks or more in advance and do not require additional long steeping? I ask because butterscotch, butter rum, and hopscotch all are nearly tasteless, so not sure if they just need steeping or these would be ones I'd definitely need to add additional flavor shots to when I ordered.

Thanks again to Vapingzone and Louielouie, and all the staff at ECF and the generous vendors (And 15 million posts by users) that made this contest possible

Your story sounds incredibly. I dream of that type of life often. My husband on the other hand has had to travel constantly for work all his life so RV same appeal. I am hoping that we can find some middle ground if we are fortunate enough to do these things. I could deal with just a couple of months of travel thruout the year and the rest of it being near family. Thanks for sharing and continue to enjoy!!

FAMILY - that's one of the things on my 'con' list when talking RVing... it hinders the grandparents being nearby to help when needed! In our case, our two boys were not 'producing grandkids' but marrying into relationships that gave us a few - so we were less 'tied to a home' or a 'stick built' as we RVers like to call normal homes. But is a big deal to most folks (mom's) when it comes to pulling up stakes and hitting the backroads. Many keep their homes in the north colder climates and winter in the southern warmer states - it's then we have oodles of things to keep us busy (grin). This will be our first summer we've spent 'year around' in Arizona, and I'm not looking forward to the heat (this week is forcasted to be 7 days of over 100) which means 7 days of 24/7 listening to the air conditioning which is loud in an RV and hinders normal conversation immensely while inside, then there's the 'cabin fever' you get when spent in an 8' wide residence for more than a week (grin).

So, RVing to see specific places in good weather times is also a 'very good sense possibility' for many - it's an expensive "part time" residence to own an RV in our books with a home also - whether a motor home or a 5th wheel - both are pricey, but a 5th wheel you only need one vehicle with an engine to get around 'and' do your shopping/traveling - with a motorhome, mostly you would need two motorized vehicles - one to shop with, one to travel with and pull the shopping 'cart' behind. Everyone needs to make their own pros and cons list that fits their needs, basically. But it is enjoyable to see all this great country has to offer us, and it is fun to stay awhile in different parts to get the feel of the people and their specific quirks to their areas, etc. tis fun to learn about such as you do it!

No snow here, so we do urban mushing with carts. Now is a good time to start training him with a mushing harness and weighted objects. They are working dogs, born to run and pull. Max LOVES to mush, he's happiest when hes dragging a cart behind him. He knows the difference between his mushing harness and his regular.He still is learning directional commands...lol... He knows play time vs working time.

That sounds so great! I just know my buddy will love it He runs a little over 7 miles when we run him, and we take him running 3 to 4 times a week. So he runs around 21 to 28 miles a week, and that does not count his roaming adventures! Lol He would run 7miles everyday if we let him, but we tell him he is still young and must take breaks He loves running! I used to run with him when he was little, but he has surpassed me now and I cannot keep up....haha
We plan on getting him mush gear when we get the extra money Him and I just got back from a hike

The very last winner should get loaded with prizes lol

When I was 4-5, our neighbors got a few. The rooster was EVIL!!!!

Now, I will agree with you on roosters They can be mean, and then I have met some that are sweethearts. I have not had a rooster until recently. We got some Ameraucanas this past spring, gave 3 to our neighbor and kept 3...2 of the 3 we kept turned out to be roosters! Lol so we gave one of them to the neighbor and decided to keep the other one. So I only got 1 hen of those beautiful breed of chickens She is a gorgeous lil hen too The rooster is still a baby pretty much, but he was so calm and pretty. We will see if he stays that way I will not keep something that is mean and terrorizes me! Lol
This is Mr. Owl

As you can tell they are not a very big breed, and that is also why we kept him.

 

[redrebel821]

He looks ready to attack!!!

 

[wvducklady]

Oh and one of the six kittens I mentioned earlier is laying on my lap

What a pretty little baby

 

[wvducklady]

I make custom collars and leashes, so I could pack up supplies and just hit craft fairs and shows. If I plan my routes well, I could just drive in circles...lol

That is too cool!!

 

[redrebel821]

we're starting a caravan of vaping crafts-people to drive around and be gypsies...lol...

I want to join! I have a need to travel. I get antsy if I'm stuck in one place too long.

We'll add you to the list!!! Every time hubby asks what I'm doing with the insurance money after he drops dead at work, I tell him the same thing....selling/donating everything, buying a small RV and hitting the road with the dogs.

They gave one each of the Five Pawns collection (Garnd Master, Gambit, Queenside, Perpetual Check, and Bowden's Mate). Everything works great!

I really like the small size of the SMOK. The only thing with the SMOK is that it doesn't have temp control (TC). All of my builds are setup for TC, so the Atlantis sets on top for now. It tops out at 45W which is plenty for me. I have two DNA40s and rarely go much higher than 20W. But the SMOK's size is what I really love. It fits very comfortable in the hand and Is smaller and narrower than my Hana DNA40.

The Atlantis is a really nice tank. This is the first Aspire tank I have ever tried. It is pretty airy and reminds my of the Kanger Sub Tanks. Unlike the Sub Tanks, the Aspire doesn't have an optional build deck. This is no big deal to me, but thought I should mention it. I was surprised at how good the flavor is from the Aspire right out of the box. It definitely tastes as good as the Sub Tanks I have.

I have always been a big fan of Five Pawns, but since I DIY my juice I don't purchase much ejuice these days. Out of the five I received the Grandmaster and Gambit are the ones I have tried. I have DIY recipes for these and wanted to see how close my brews compared to the originals. I will try the other three flavors here soon.

I believe that you can use the RBA coil from ANYVAPE SEGA tank for the Atlantis. I bought one but have not had to use it yet but it looks right!
