I don't know KAS. I think SVM and Kabuki were the only ones to offer a P3 connection. Someone can confirm as I'm not sure. I know there were 510 to P3 adapters which defeated the purpose. It was a failed attempt.

Agreed. I bought all 510 Kabukis because I wanted to be able to use them with whatever I chose, and not have to marry a tank to a mod. I'm VERY glad I did that now.

Jan did a lot of videos back in the day. Is she even around anymore?

Unfortunately not, and it's a "not good" story. Some idiots caused her to leave everything "E-Cig" (it wasn't "vape" back then) behind.

I wish I had more ProVape rings so I could throw out the others. Instead I save them just in case, but only actually use the couple of ProVape rings that I have.

They pop on on occasion, DH, on The Bay and some other places too.

Are they a thing? I gave them away. Dang it!!

Forget threaded connections. I'd like to see more magnetic connections ... I think. Not just magnetic adapters like Aspire has out now (that adds weight and height), but atomizers and mods designed that way.

Ever wish you could index the atomizer airflow opening (or some part or feature of an atomizer) exactly with the fire button or screen display or a particular orientation on a mod but can't, because well, that's just where the threads stop? ... not a problem with magnetic connections. Position the atomizer to the mod any way you like.

So wouldn't magnetic connections come apart in case of accident or mishandling, more easily than a threaded connection? ... yep ... not necessarily a bad thing in all cases. Bonus ... switch atomizers (think different flavors or nic levels maybe) on one mod or battery, virtually instantly. Yeah, but how hard is it to unscrew one and screw on another? ... except when one atomizer is 510 and the other is P3.

Threaded connections are cheaper than good strong magnets, so there's that. And the fact that some folks can't be around magnets for medical or other reasons ... and electronics may not like being in close proximity to magnets ... so nothing is perfect I guess.

I just returned from Clarksville TN and can't get Last Train to Clarksville out of my head. Now another Monkees song to stick in my brain, geez.

Here. I'll send you a towel that you can cry into.

I got them for free.

YOU have BATS in your house? Burn it down. Don't look back. Tell the insurance company it was a "pest control incident."

I'd love to talk caps and all, but really I have so little experience. I will say I am happy I got to 510 connected Kabukis and Radii... They're never moving from that space. It's perfect... For me anyway.

I feel cruddy. Once I finish coffee it's gonna be the mad note writing incident, then the mad cleaning incident. Husband gets here at some point today

Thank goodness because the dog is stress eating as he pines for/prepares to go find his owner.

I am too, but the dog is WAY better at it. I'm just letting him at this point. I mean, if it works, it works. Dog has accepted me as his "current" human and we interact. It's jus that neither of us love it.

I am plumb EXHAUSTED. But, also ready to clean. Heh.

Notes, not so much but they will happen. Our note software is being "worked on" from 7 pm last night. Our IT really sucks and I say that with fervor. I would not be shocked (or unhappy except oh, well I would) if it was not up until Sunday night or something.

They were supposed to give us all new phones over a MONTH ago. Still no business card.

NOT burning THIS house down! It's the second oldest house in Caseville! Been here since 1875. We had to buy 1/2 has the other half was given to me by Grandma. Other half was given to my Dad's Wife (yes, Grandma's daughter-in-law, technically my step-mother) and she gave us a great deal for a wedding present. House inspector we hired before deciding to take it off the market and move in said he has built over 150 houses and been inspecting them for over 20 years and has never seen anything like it. Said it will be standing long after a new house that is built today and will be here long after we are gone and if there is a tornado, he's coming over! Exterior walls are lined with concrete. He is also a mold and allergen expert, said there is no place for the mold to grow as everything is plaster and real wood, NOT pressboard or drywall. Nothing for mold to eat. Anything that may have to done is strictly cosmetic. Said he would have no problem moving in as is.
Grew up in it part time. When I wasn't in school, I was up here. The attic is a 3rd floor with it own door and real steps. It's why the bats like it. We will win this war, trust me. Didn't kill any last summer. We just need pest control to tidy up the chimney and come back every two years for a PMC.
Garage has a attic and basement and we are on a corner with 4 lots. Iron fence just has old.

Well, someone in the near neighborhood has declared war on squirrels I think. Didn't see but one squirrel yesterday and zero (0) today. Usually there are a dozen or so playing around and eating grass, berries, nuts and shrooms. The only one I did see yesterday was either very sick or injured. Looked like it had wandered up out of Pet Cemetery and was suffering. I had to humanly put it out of its misery. Really don't know what's going on but someone likely put out some kind of poison or something. Haven't heard any gunshots here in the neighborhood. Well, not dozens anyway. There are 3 free roaming cats around here that I know of and they get a squirrel every now and then but, here one day and all gone the next, isn't cats. I miss the squirrels ... if they're gone. They never bothered me, my house or my Jeep.

Gee, I can't disagree if that's how you feel, they don't bother you and it's not my neighborhood. I must say, if they wouldn't have messed with my Jeep, I just would've kept them out of the garage and not went all Al Bundy on them.
Take a little trip and come get ours, you can relocate them to your place! Lol

I seem to remember some comments about Provapes P3 connector and the threading that they choose to use being a custom thread per inch, and not any standard tap on the market could cut the threads.
Why in the world did they choose a thread that was so hard to reproduce, has always bewildered me. It was the main reason that very few atty makers made a P3 threaded tank, they had to make custom taps & Dies in order to produce them. If they had just made it a standard metric thread, I think the P3 would have been accepted worldwide.

Darn rocket scientists...too damn smart for their own good!

This evening, sat out in the sanctuary and watched one lone wary squirrel cautiously approach and drink from the miscreants outside water bowl. At least it was healthy looking. If someone is targeting squirrels around here, the ones left will be the smart ones.

I know some folks in the neighborhood don't like squirrels. Those folks generally have fruit and/or nut trees. Squirrels wreck havoc on pecans and seems they take a few nibbles out of every single dang Asian Pear on the tree. Not like squirrels can eat half a pear and refrigerate the rest for latter I guess. Yep, squirrels seem downright wasteful in their feeding habits but where found in sufficient numbers, are quite efficient in destroying agro endeavors.

A few weeks back I came across a mid 80's Schwinn World Sport road bike...12 speed, 27" tires, this thing probably never got ridden. The gears were all looking like they had zero wear, rims had no signs whatsoever of having had the brake pads applied, the tires were rotting and I had to scrape the rubber from the inside of the rims with a wooden stylus... upon starting to ride her I found that the shift cables had never been stretched in, and after about a hundred miles had to do a minor tune up to the bike. The paint is a beautiful light blue with a few dings/chips here and there from it's many years of sitting, but there are no signs of rust anywhere, so this bike was stored somewhere dry, probably climate controlled...

Today I set out on a ride in somewhat rainy conditions, with my phone and wallet secure in ziplock bags, and about three miles in I went down HARD on a bridge, approached the wooden planked bridge after a series of hard S curves, and had way too much speed and lean when I encountered the wet bridge with greenish brown, very slippery wooden structure.

The bike shot out from under me and I went down on my right side bouncing and then rolling onto my stomach after skidding along to a stop, the bike was about ten or so feet ahead of me on the tarmac. The skin on my right elbow was gone and my right hip has a bruise about the size of a softball with scrapes going down to my knee...felt good rinsing that elbow with the iced water I had in my bottle.

Got out my tools and straitened out the handlebars, and then continued on my way Ironically, I just happened to wearing my crash test dummy riding shirt today

Not many other nutbags out there, but there were one or two I saw, waving to each other with that knowing...maniacal look in our eyes All in all it was a good day, once I found my P3 that was flung from its holster and rolled along into the grass...luckily, no scratches
