It's a good day to dress up as Doug & Wendy!
Not that we're not normally "Whiners" anyway.

My Dad suffers from macular degeneration. His eye doctor told him to he had to quit smoking (occasional pipe and cigar). Told him to vape 0% nicotine (said it was nicotine that would make him go blind). His family doctor agreed, vaping was ok as long as it was zero nicotine. Don't shoot the messenger.
I do kind of remember something about Nicotine thinning the walls of veins, at least I think so. If that is the case, this would be the one thing that would get me to reduce my Nicotine.

All 17 clocks and 2 watches moved ahead. I hate daylight savings time, HATE IT! All you who want an extra hour of sunlight, GET UP A HOUR EARLIER! Or geez, if we're gonna set our clocks ahead, why not leave them there all year 'round?
Willy, Duane and Anna thanks for your help and Willy thanks for the eye glasses link. DH needs new ones so I think I'll give them a try.
Speaking of tolerances. Here’s 2 Kabuki clones. One on right is early version, manufacturer unknown. One on left is newer version by Steam Tribe.

Here’s the box the early one came in. Had a round sticker on it that said Kabuki. Had to remove it to open box.
The manufacturer of the newer version was Steam Tribe, not Steam Crave. I corrected the previous post.
Probably made in China.
I don't understand Fsat tech, they will have an item, and in the description they will list a whole bunch of the same item at different prices. With the Kabuki clones, I always ordered the most expensive ones listed, and they have all been serviceable, except the Titanium version, after a few months the threads got all buggered up on the base and the chimney, so coils either won't thread in, or will thread part way and bind. JUNK! The 316 SS versions with adjustable pin 510 threads ( Unobtanium from HOH) all work just fine. Who knows where they are made, probably in a small batch shop using old milling machines and lathes that use to be run by machinists in the US, before the companies outsourced and sold all the MFG equipment abroad.
I have to say I got my clone after an original and I was not impressed. It also had some weird (non P3 connection but SOMETHING weird shoved on there) and after a while it stopped reading my coils. The flavor was "okay" and honestly though, I had to turn the wattage up and it's really not a very "clone like" clone.
I usually say to try a clone first due to the cost of the original, but I really think I might stop that practice. The clone I got (no idea which one) was NOTHING much like the original. I have two originals and I will say, I don't plan on getting more but I will sometimes use the ZFO as my vendor for USA even if it's a bit more, just to support that particular business.... Which is so awesome. LOL

I did some research. I found the one with the round box, the one on the right in my pic. Amazingly, fast tech has several versions, it looks like 4 different manufacturers by the different boxes. All different prices. I never knew that. The one on the right in my pic is a better tank. Longer chimney, longer glass. Holds more liquid. Also on that one the chimney is long enough to completely shroud the wicking holes in the coil.
As to clones, I am very happy with the Kabukis, and see no reason to buy the real thing. I just can’t see the real thing being $75-$85 better.
Never heard of it KAS. Good luck!Have any of you guys heard of Retinal Vein Occlusion? I guess it has happened in my right eye, I went to Eye Glass World to get a new prescription yesterday. They could not give me one for the right eye. I am going to a real Eye Doctor on Monday, that can hopefully give me some better answers. I basically have blurred vision in that eye.

Here's another online joint. Been around for a long time.That is a great site, I have never ordered my glasses online before, if and when I get this figured out, I might just order from them. I have worn Bifocals for about 2 years, really made a big difference.

Thanks, never heard of it either. I kind of expected something before I went, the vision in my right eye basically got worse over night. I am going to hold off on any new glasses till I know what the deal is with my right eye.

10 years ago (when I was 41) I had to have my left eye lens replaced due to cataracts. I have reading glasses whereas the right lens is clear glass.
One Saturday morning I woke up and thought I had sleep in my left eye that wouldn't go away. It was literally a overnight thing.
I'm not offended
(That'll throw a cat in the works) < mwah hah hah >
CREAKY VOICE!!!!!!!! Only one tiny step above UP TALKING. (up talking? Oh like I'm an up talker?)
They should ban it as it's bad for your throat.
Want to throw.........
Please gin, choir preach. Don't EVEN get me started on this UTTER NONSENSE called DST.
Florida legislature votes to remain on Daylight Saving Time year round
This is what I'm talking about... Why not leave it on DST year round? All Florida needs is the governor's signature, legislature passed it - "Sunshine Protection Act."
As goes Florida, so goes the country. It was Florida that started the "Shall Issue (Conceal Carry)" movement that swept the nation. Let's hope it's the case with this as well, sooner rather than later. God bless Florida!
EDIT: I just want to add, I'd rather not see DST at all (vampire) but this is a compromise I could live with.

I prefer DST, but, I just want em to leave it one way or the other, I'm tired of having to make the change twice a year.
