    I've looked at those before but never tried one. So I take it that you like it?

    Yes. It's the only squonker I've got in rotation, and I find it easy to use. I'm not using the rda that came with the kit, though, but a Dead Rabbit.

    About the only squonker I used for any amount of time was the Aegis squonk. I'm going to start doing reviews for sourcemore and put the topside lite on my list for items to review.

    I finally got my car out of the shop today. Transmission works well and the oil leak is fixed. It cost me $500 instead of $1400. Too bad I can't drive it due to my eyes, although I cheat and drive around town. I'm fine if I don't have to read any street signs. Next week I go in for my procedure then my vision may be a lot worse. To make things worse, my chauffeur, aka my mother, is leaving for Florida the next day. I'll be stuck at home fo sure then.

    I don't use regular coils so can't help much with hotspots, but I'm sure others here can give you some tips
    all I can say is keep fidgeting with the coil...make sure it's fairly straight...maybe press the coil together instead of spaced....
    hahahaha that's usually a complaint about high vg ejuice, I don't have that issue so much....lowering your flavoring % might help but I'd say lower your vg if you don't have issues with pg that is...
    I do, I haven't vaped any in a while though....hazel but :lol:
    I'm on my second batch of Pina Colada & lowered VG from 60% to 55%, I'm still playing with a little H2O dilution. I have No Hot Spots Issues, just runny & sticky nostrils. Waiting on drip tips with Smaller Bores to Test a theory I have:lol:

    I haven’t even really thought about it yet. My wife did tell me not to buy any big expensive gifts for the kids this year like I did last year.
    My Mom, is watching Christmas Movies already & got angry with me for bringing up the state of our Country & World whenever we talk. So she has a lot of years behind her so I Don't push when she says "I don't like thinking about that stuff." Never mind how that makes me feel. I won't be contributing to the commercialized version, its lonesome out here. Nov 3 will determine the strength & amount of Islander Egg Nog I make & consume :pop: :banana:

    First, Thank you, for your concern and I really do appreciate your suggestions, especially given your personal experiences.

    However, as a FYI - I am very lucky, I do have an exceptional GP (Who is quite experienced & a specialist) who worked with me to maintain my A1c below 7 & my general overall health for the past 11 years.

    As well as a very good Endocrinologist, who I started seeing when my A1c went up to 9.6, because of a leg infection (only started insulin approximately 6 - 8 months ago).

    Thankfully, I am still Type 2 diabetic (A1c 8.3), just need to get my daily numbers down.

    BTW: As a "retired" LSW - I am very much an advocate, especially when it comes to my health - as I have for others for years too, particularly as a counselor in "HBMT" . . . Just Sayin' . . . :D

    .
    Wow, I used to LSW, in the state of texas I couldnt handle it. You stay well.

    Hey y'all, good afternoon!

    I finally got my car out of the shop today. Transmission works well and the oil leak is fixed. It cost me $500 instead of $1400. Too bad I can't drive it due to my eyes, although I cheat and drive around town. I'm fine if I don't have to read any street signs. Next week I go in for my procedure then my vision may be a lot worse. To make things worse, my chauffeur, aka my mother, is leaving for Florida the next day. I'll be stuck at home fo sure then.

    I hope the vision issues sort themselves out... you are now an honorary member of Skeebo's list of daily anxieties!

    I went to my first appointment with my primary care physician. She was not willing to prescribe me antiviral medications, but she did put in a referral in to an ID specialist. It's been two weeks without my meds and I worry a bit. It's all in the mind, right? I did get the flu shot and have been feeling crappy since... my low Cd4's are to blame probably.

    I really need to mix tonight. I am running low on my favorites.

    She wasn't willing to give you enough to get you through until you see the ID? That's not right. How long until you get that referral? Two weeks without meds is too long in my book. You are now on my honorary list, too.

    She put in an urgent referral so it should be within a week I think. If they don't call by Friday I'll get on the phone and try my best to expedite it with my charming ways. I just don't like seeing my wife worry. I have lived with this now for 25+ years so I tend to take a relaxed approach... Evidently being bestowed with a good mutation means the night sweats soaking the bed comes on quickly without meds.

    Good evening. My wife took her car in and they couldn’t fix the tire so we ordered a new set of tires for it. She was due anyway. I was going to have to get some before winter anyway so now is as good of a time as any. She will just have to deal with the donut tire until Friday.

    Don’t forget to dilute the chocolate

    lol the only reason I have 2 large tvs (I forget their sizes but both are over 47" if not closer to 60") is because of my ex...he always had to have the biggest/latest/greatest...and yes these 2 were the smaller tvs, he kept the bigger ones...these were his hand me downs...I made all the money, he spent all the money and I wasn't allowed to any of it...yeah we're not going there, he an arrogant control freak...but I was stupid and put up with it because it was the first non physically abusive relationship I had been in...but abuse is still abuse...
    Progress is Progress :thumbs:

    My stash is definitely stocked with more than enough mods, tanks, kits, RTAs, coils, building supplies, etc...and only 1 final small order is on the way. But...I'm starting to work with 2 more people, to help them hopefully transition from smoking to vaping. So, after finding out what types of DIY eliquids they might prefer...I just had to place another order for more flavorings from River Supply's Clearance section and get Free S/H while I was at it. :D So, while I won't be buying more hardware, there's always flavorings, more PG & VG, bottles, etc. to keep buying. :thumbs:
    You get tobacco flavors from River Supply's?
