    Not Yet, that I know of . . . Will be testing the New Sceptre I got from innokin to review this coming week, since I am still finishing writing up a review for the Kroma-Z that I was putting through it's paces (taking much longer then I thought it would) . . . Hopefully, you can wait until then, especially given I rather try equipment out for a few days before giving my personal opinion and not just rush to get something written up as so many others do . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:



    .

    Don’t rush it. I always give new stuff for review a minimum of a week before posting a review.

    Morning all you vaping celebrationists! :lol:

    Hey do you all ever turn off your devices? When I get a new one I charge it and turn it on and it stays on until I get a new device. I never turn it off! How about you that use only one device? Now I suppose that someone like @hittman turns his off since he has a bunch of devices going at once. What say you?

    Oh yeah...I know not "done" forever. :D That's why I said..."I think I'm now done with flavoring orders for at least 6 months to a year, or longer." :)
    Was just yanking your leg :)
    Seems to me there's always a pursuit of a new flavor or recipe that we want, despite what we need. I think my wife said to me after my very first flavor order, which was around 20 or so, that should be all you need for a long time. Ha! Well.. maybe I guess. But I love variety, and being able to have an assortment and try new things for better or worse.

    Actually no. I never turn any off. I do use the fire lock on some like my Jac dna75.

    Good morning Folks !!! :D

    Sunday, no serious plans. NFL football. Likely a movie tonight.

    Yesterday I received a couple Pico S mods. Solidly built. Can take a 21700, 20700 or an 18650 w/incl. adapter. I installed the Arctic Fox firmware which brings it to nearly the performance of any of my DNA mods. If anyone is looking for a quality mod on the cheap Artisan Vapor has the Pico S on sale for $17.70.

    Good morning random folks :) Have you any plans today?

    I’m going to watch some more of the mandolorian and get some coffee first. I need to go through my in use mods again and thin the herd. I’m really enjoying testing the geyser mods for review.

    I bought a swag that is similar in form I think and just didn’t care for the battery cap on top.

    I run between 6 - 8 mods all the time. About 50/50 regulated and mech mods. I pull the batteries before I go to bed. Especially with mechs. Our regulated mods electronics can, do and will fail (at some point) and the last thing I want is a mod auto firing. Auto firing can cause a battery to continue venting until it reaches an explosion point.

    Good morning :)
    No particular plans, make us a yummy skillet breakfast, maybe work on my desk again finally.. painfully wait and check order statuses/tracking of stuff I bought with gift cards :lol:
    Probably watch Wonder Woman 1984 tonight even though I heard it was bad. @hittman what do you think of the Mandalorian? We absolutely love that series, and my wife doesn't really like TV shows/getting hooked into them, but she loves the Mandalorian. Probably Baby Yoda is what hooked her. Another one I got her hooked on is Black Sails.

    what is the cause for auto firing SMT? Asking for a friend. Happened with a brand new Asmodus Lustro.

    I get all wrapped up in one holiday and I miss stuff :lol:
    Is it a new/v2 sceptre?? I saw a couple new colors out, but didn’t pay much attention. I love the ones I have now

    Yes - a "Sceptre v2" . . . Innokin sent me the NewInnokin Sceptre MTL Carbon Fiber Series to review - this one only comes in 2 colors right now a Carbon Silver and Carbon Black (aka as the --The Carbon Collection).

    BTW: Besides the original 5 colors of the Sceptre of Grey, White, Pink, Black, Blue - there are also the Vogue Green and Groove Black . . . :thumbs:

    I'm testing my new Strawberry Yogurt Cake recipe this morning.

    MF Strawberry 2.5%
    FLV Cream 1%
    INW Vanilla Cream 0.5%
    FW Yogurt 3%
    WF Fluffy White Cake 2%

    It's really good and pretty dang tasty. The yogurt brings tanginess plus a little sour and is very nicely balanced with the white cake. The strawberry is very much present but not at all in an in-your-face kind of way. It blends in like it should in a real cake. The FLV and INW creams bring what I would describe as a lite frosting element. As far as sweetness goes, on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the most sweet) I would rate this a 5 bordering a 6.


    IMO other strawberries would work well and could easily be subbed for the MF Strawberry. If I were to do this recipe with other s-berries I would choose FA Strawberry along with FA Juicy Strawberry (1:1). Together those two make a very convincing realistic strawberry. INW Shisha Strawberry would also work well.


    The recipe can also be made minus the yogurt and cake for a very simple three flavor Strawberry Cream. Or minus the cake for a Strawberry Yogurt. And minus the yogurt for a simple Strawberry Cake. I've enjoyed each of those individually.

    DIY freakin' rocks!!! :D

    ETA: @Zazie can you please add this to your Blog. Thank you! :wub:

    Good morning !
    Well, the strawberries and cream I mixed up was just ok...and as the bottle neared it's finish it lost it's flavor.
    pfffft !

    Now...SOMEBODIES have me back on Vanilla Custard :lol:

    It's been a long while since I made any but I tried a little tweak to it and of course make it not so strong.
    I used the Van Cust V2, the Dulce de Leche and I used a tiny bit of Vanilla Swirl.
    Messing with a 30ml bottle so I used 1ml VC, 1ml DdL and about a half ml of VS.

    So far, so good.

    Thanks for the advice . . . And actually, I have no intention too rush, never have and never will. Like you, it is at least a minimum of a week - if not more, especially when I am unsure of a product . . . No Matter, whether I pay for it or am given a product for review - it's always at my pace to give it a try/test and not forced by a vendor because they sent me a product to rush the testing, just get something written up in a day or 2 because they want to use it for their marketing . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    A fried chip, a failed (or failing) fire switch or bad wiring can each cause an auto fire and an increasingly dangerous situation. I am not willing to take those kind of risks. Removing the batteries is automatic for me. Our Skunk and a couple other folks were discussing this last year in the Shiny thread.

    ETA: You very likely know this... a battery with a ripped wrap, exposing the metal, can short and cause very nasty problems.

    Might have known it at one time and YES I bet that is it. Going to tell my cheapskate friend who is probably using well worn batteries that this is probably the problem

    So far I've heard about 50% like WW84 and 50% don't. I liked the first one so I'm sure I'll enjoy this one. And Gal Gadot, what's not to like. :D

    I haven't started Mandalorian yet. It looks real good.
