    If you talk to mine then you better have some time on your hands. Boy it sure is Monday. The paypal mistake first then the florist called the home phone to confirm my flower order for my Anniversary Thursday which ruined the surprise, and then I got a bad circuit board new from the manufacturer for a machine I'm working on at work.
    Better just go home.

    Curious question, do you use drop in coils or build your own.
    I use strictly drop ins.
    I have wires, just in case....but na I buy cheap already made coils ;) but ever since I got the profile na.... mesh strip....so much easier :pervy: :lol: actually used an rda today that I had to use coils in, I mean I was never great at coils but :lol: I forgot how much of a pita they are
    took like 10 minutes to get the rda setup....
    put the coils in, trim the legs, reposition them, straighten them, fidget with them until they both are glowing evenly....pull the cotton through without messing the coils up :p

    I've really been spoiled by the profile.... grab a stip of mesh bend it around the tool into a U shape, slide it into the the clamps, tighten it up, make sure that the U is in tact and that it glows evenly....pull the cotton through and you're done....

    On the new scales I've tried everything.

    Honestly, l tried mixing by weight, and I hated it. I mix by volume and depending on how intense my recipes are (they're all around 10 ml though) I just freaking mix up some base pour it into the bottles and then get a 10 ml syringe and like line up all my flavors with number of drops rarer these days) and/or shove them bit by bit, (I write down the amounts) and then empty the syringe into the bottle.

    I find it infinitely faster and there is a LEVEL of precision you aren't going to taste, honest. Well., I won't.

    I get you are invested in the scale I was lucky to hate mine immediately.

    How are you doing the MF sft’s? One drop of flavor? I’m still on the fence about getting any. Still very pricey at half price. It’s looking like I may have some extra Christmas money. Soooooo maybe.

    I use strictly drop ins.

    Strictly home wound :)

    I like not being bound by what comes in the mail, or what may go out of "style" and hence out of stock. Being a tootler, all single coil toppers, easy action.

    Heaven knows I don’t NEED anything but those profile mesh coils look easy peasy.

    I love that dish... eggplant parm is the dish I use to judge how good an Italian restaurant is. I love me some good Italian food.
    LOL I’m Canadian French and Indian and I love Italian.

    I got vape mail today. My two FT orders made it through Chicago without delay. One was 25 Aspire coils, and the other was my blue Taggerz. That makes three I own now. I only have two more FT packages to go, one has shipped, the other...I don't know what they are waiting on.

    Other news is I went to get my eyes checked today. I lost a contact and it's been two years. Bad news, my eyes have gotten so bad from the radial keratotamy I had back in the 90s that they couldn't even get a refraction to get a new contact lens prescription. I being sent to a cornea specialist to see if a procedure called cross-link therapy will strengthen my corneas enough for cataract surgery. That enails numbing up the eye, scraping a layer off, putting riboflavin drops in, and exposing it to UV light. Followed by poor vision for up to 3 months. Then they can do cataract surgery. Three months of not being able to see! My vision is worse right now due to the lost contact and having to wear an old one (forgive!any typos). I'll have to buy a bunch of bottles and mix up 3 months worth of flavor a head of time, and use drop in coils only.

    Hopefully you will end up with good eyesight after going through all that.

    Ya'll so posty! I can't keep up! I must do yoga. The husband's mom is on her way out. She had lung cancer (environmental not smoking) and now she had a stroke. A small one. Sigh.

    I really hate funerals but cannot let the husband face it alone.

    To be fair, l can cope, I hate her, she is incredibly hatable bossy and rude. When she visited the husband got this insane needlepoint thing I got crocheted dish rags. I had to actually ask what they were. Then I said, "I would rather have nothing than these. Maybe you could have another DIL to give them to or someone else you hate." You can't beat about the bush with her. Granted I am hatable at times but I ALSO took care of her PTSD psycho son for five years until he got better so she should be THANKING me.

    Also, at the wedding, she yelled at my kid for being barefoot. He, being a smart kid, RAN barefoot away and never approached her again. I did. I said, "Listen MIL, I have given MY soon to be husband permission to instruct my child, but I have TRAINED him and LET ME JUST SAY the amount of negative programming I had to REMOVE was insane. You do NOT have permission to instruct my son in ANYTHING besides how to escape a crowded theater on fire but that is IT. I don't like you, you don't like me and we can live with it. But you stay out of my kid's life FOREVER or I will make sure as your son's wife he never speaks to you again. And, let me tell you, this wife ALWAYS wins because *I* am the vagina he is attached to, so I have a GREAT advantage, that and I am not so nice. But, you are WORSE."

    She took it. To be fair if I told that story at the funeral people would, ah, agree. She is the WORST.

    Oooh I don't want to have to deal with the manic sister and the brother in law who .........es surreptitiously. Just NO.; Sigh. So, of course I am praying hard for her continued survival dude, and I don't think the motivation matters THAT much.

    Work was chill. I HAVE to do yoga now. I realize that was a mean story but I have about a billion of them and I avoid her at all COSTS. GOlly.

    I have no clue how the husband will react SERIOUSLY. No clue.

    If I had a dime for every time a person of French decent asked me if I knew my last name meant glue in the French language I would be rich. My wife has a French first name so it all kind of worked out.

    Translated she is young glue.
