I realized that I had not had a basic black satin Provi in place since late 2013. I used two of them almost exclusively for two years, beat the pants off the paint, then left the brand news ones intact because I didn't want to do the same to them.

Well, it's time. This is one of two I have left (not counting Stealths), and the other is wrapped (but in use). So, I beat it up a little. It won't be like before because I want take it out with me, or double carry it (which is probably what caused the majority of paint damage).

This one (on right), I'm treating "kindly". Welcome back, old friend.

My first Provari was the 2nd version of their 'shiny black chrome'. I was so 'feared' of scratching it I kept it in a sheep's skin case. Shortly after getting this one I bought another because I wanted one to take with me when I left the house. It's been safely in storage for a couple-few years. You inspired me to get it out today and put it to use again. Now-a-days I've got plenty of others for out an about so this one will surely be a 'house queen'.

Also, you neuter any animal past a certain age, it's not going to change its behavior. It just Won't. Our (desert living for 2 years animal POOPS and pees in the house and we've had it like 14 years. You can train it to do some stuff (if you are lucky) but some things won't change.

An elderly widow,living in an old house in the Scottish Highlands, was given a puppy to keep her company. The wee beastie would pee and poop all over the house.
To train it, she first laid old newspapers on the slate floor at the back door, then, whenever the wee beastie did his business in an inappropriate place, she would rub its nose in it and take it to the newspapers and set it down.
It learned fast, whenever it let one drop or dribble within the house, it would run to the back door, sit on the newspapers and wag its tail as if to say "see, I'm a good learner".

The chrome ones had come and gone JUST before I began vaping, and everyone was all excited about "The New Black" (who knew...). The satins came out about a week after I ordered my very first great mod, the Provi satin silver.

I was only about six months in at that point, but I guess I was already a "vaper", because I proceeded to order another (but not immediately). It was maybe another month before they added the blue LED, and that was all it took for me. Deal, DONE!

Yours looks GREAT, Mike!!!!

The Very Moralistic Code of Gene Rodenberry would not permit it. I mean, he thought gayness was a disease, they would never rob a bank.

I can only see that happening during an episode where Data's evil brother with emotions like, swapped himself out for like, Data and the cash would be returned at the end of the episode.

They would all drink synthahol to celebrate. I will say synthahol is SUPER appealing really. It's like such a great idea.....

Ugh. This is reminding me of the episode where they found like, that alien pod thing and Jean Luc Picard got swallowed up and lived this WHOLE lifetime where the planet was dying and he learned to play that annoying flute thing.

The whole episode I was like, THIS IS JUST LIKE SALVIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I felt really super bad for Jean Luc, I mean alien rape drug Salvia, having to play the piccolo and spend an endless lifetime where there were like, no washing machines.

The episode itself was a bit like TAKING salvia they really pulled it off.

Ahem. Pardon.

Anna


Welp, I guess I need not watch that episode now. 'Sides, I'm out of Synthahol.

given a puppy

You are proving my point. Look we did everything you are supposed to and possibly some things that NO one has tried to housetrain that dog.

He was the Napoleon of indoor pooping and ....... Fortunately, as a desert dog, he likes being outside. We built him a castle of a dog house and he is happy.

LOL the only time I saw him scared outside was when what looked like a ten foot vulture landed on our fence. I have never seen him enter like, his dog house so swiftly.

To be fair, I was a bit worried it would carry ME off.

But really, he's fine. Sometimes I wish he could talk because being in the desert forever I bet he has some cool stories. It took the rescue place like, 2 months to trap him that sucker was crafty.

He's a great dog, and I love him dearly but he is NEVER going to learn to be housetrained. We let him in when it gets too hot or cold, and we confine him to our laundry room and just deal. LOL.

So far, he likes Douglas quite a bit.

I'm one of 'those' that think the 22mm nKFL vapes warmer than any of my other atty's. Do you notice a difference between the 22mm and 24mm version with respect to warmth of the vape?

Mike, my 22mm is an original and my 24mm is made of Chinaseum. So, apples and oranges maybe. But anyway, airflow is the same on both. Temperature? ... there is a subtle difference. My perception is that the 24mm MAY be cooler. And if so, I think because the larger size is a greater heat sink. However, I vape at such low wattage ... 7W on both ... warmth really isn't a factor.

ETA: I'll get an original 24mm just as soon as they become available again. Soon I hope.
