Random DIY mixing and More

Cat to the vet at noon, leaves after that. And try to get a friend to take a look at my roof. Part of a shingle blew off in the storm! I'm going to worry about it until it's fixed.

The latest is roofers going around to homes with discontinued shingles and offering a free inspection of your roof. They always find something wrong and you file a claim with your insurance company. They have to replace the entire roof due to it being a discontinued shingle. All the homeowner pays is their deductible.

There are a lot of scammers out there, people have to be careful.

Yeah, a possible leak is a big worry.

Yeahhh, no. My friend is a contractor. It's one tab off a shingle. The roof is old and will be replaced in Spring/Summer next year anyway, by someone reputable! Claims to insurance are not good. They get whatever they paid out to you back and more, or they cancel you altogether. Unless it's something catastrophic, you're better off just paying for it yourself.

Speaking of stocking do you folks feel you’re done or you need more? I have my FLA flavors coming today and 1 4ml Zenith coming slow boat. I have a handful of flavors to restock.

The only thing I can think of is if I need more Zenith coils. I have been using these coils on 3 different set up for awhile now. I just like them. They tend to last quite awhile. I will be 72 in a matter of days and I have 27 boxes. Do I need more?

Are you sure you're not going to be 27 and have 72 boxes of coils?

We got our latest insurance plan details this morning at work. It's not good!

I didn't get anything done with putting my stash into my new containers this weekend. I did get a few sft done. I've got a couple recipes I want to mix for the first time.

Yes indeed

I'm pretty sure I'm not 27 anymore. No opinion on the coils?

Mixing-wise, I've been playing with RF Blackberry Jam Toast. After a good steep, and the addition of a little raspberry, it's pretty good!

Zenith coils, IDK. I think I have enough, but I always just throw a few more in the cart whenever I'm ordering something. I think I have about 25 boxes once they all get here. It's a balancing act. Will I have boxes of coils left once all the tanks die, or tanks left with no coils?

But it's working. Two neighbors already had new roofs put on for the cost of their deductible.

I felt that way too for a long time. But I've talked to people who have had their roofs done in this shady way and their premiums barely nudged up. I asked around. What the insurance companies do is raise all premiums in the region. Explains why my home insurance premiums quadruples the rate of inflation.

Well, I'm planning to replace the roof anyway, and I want a company that stands behind their work. I don't go with fly-by-night types. That's interesting though. So basically, if your neighbors submit all kinds of claims, you pay, too. Insurance is such a racket!

It could be aa good thing if your deductible is low.

Just figure out how many you use in a year like 2 per month=24. Then figure how many years you want them to last??? and multiply # of coils time that.

EX: I use approx 2 per month and want them to last for 20 years so I will plan on"
2x12=24 coils per year x 20 years=480 coils, 5 per box=96 boxes.

Regarding the flavor ban, I do have one final order of pre-made juice coming, mostly for old times sake. Should get it today. I think if there is a flavor ban, DIY will fall soon after. Too many uninformed people will start mixing, and bad things will happen. In this climate, it won't take much for the spotlight to fall on "dangerous" DIY.

Auto insurance is the same, partly based on how others in your area are driving/claims.

Well, I probably won't be around in 20 years. My coils generally last more than one month but I guess I could use some more coils.

Yeah, mine last longer but I was being conservative. I only have about 40 boxes but oh well. I have other things like the ego one rebuildable coils and stuff.

Got my FLV stuff today and the Bourbon comes with that tall cap I hate. So I have sft's to do but no labels made so that's not going to happen right now.

I mostly use RTAs so really have no idea how many coils to stock. I would guess that I have maybe 20 boxes. I also wonder how many tanks you should have to last through 96 boxes of coils. Probably at least five I would guess.

I have other things also but having several devices that take the Z coils I really don't want to run out in a hurry.
