    I don't think we are supposed to ask for free gifts on here (but don't really know and see no harm in it) Anyway... I asked if anyone would do me a favor and try the (FA) Pomegranate I got (it has no flavor, no sweetness, just a very slight floral note) I am quite sure it's a defective batch) I got (FA) Kiwi at the same time and it's fine. Anyway, I will send it to you just to confirm my suspicions if you are interested. or... anyone else? PM me if interested. I'm sorry but don't have a lot of flavors myself or would offer more.
    Free is fine. No money can be involved.

    You haven’t made your stimulus flavor order? Better hurry before you spend the money on.......something else.

    When I tell the machine to brew a shot of espresso it grinds a certain amount of beans and tamps it into a "puck". Hot water is then forced though the puck resulting in a shot of espresso. It all depends on what pressure the machine is (mine is 15 bars), the grind size and amount of water used. I make a double shot and use the frothing wand to add hot water.
    I don’t really understand all that but I just like my regular coffee so all is well.

    I got a little done tonight, two new buildings in my two new KFL'21. It's fast and easy, SS316 - 28ga - id2.5 - 6wrap - and Rayon. I like Rayon better and better, and will buy more of it. I have tried clapton wire before, but it was not for me, at least not right now. Maybe I would like Clapton better if it was in SS wire.
    Happy to hear you're enjoying your kayfun's. They're pretty tough to beat. Totally love mine. :D

    I use rayon (Tidi medical grade balls) and cotton (Cottonman's) equally, always switching off between them.

    I love ss316L claptons, they offer very clean flavor and a rich vape. 5 of the 8 rba's I'm currently running have ss316L claptons in them. I also use simple ss316L round wire and NI80 aliens. Have a bunch of kanthal but haven't used any in quite some time.

    You might be interested in Zivipf.de , they're in Germany, close for you. They offer high quality wire of all types. Also WIREOPTIM - Precision Winding For Optimal Performance , USA based which used to be Lightning Vapes. And Advanced Vape Supply , also USA based. I buy wire from all three and each offers very high quality wire.

    (FA) Pomegranate I got (it has no flavor, no sweetness, just a very slight floral note)

    Very curious... what percentage did you use FA Pomegranate at?

    The vast majority of FA flavors are more highly concentrated when compared to many.

    I realize everyone is very different with flavors. In my experience FA Pomegranate is a great flavor. It's very authentic. I've used it in a few recipes with great success.

    From HIC's notes: Like fresh pomegranate, this is both sweet and tart, with a hint of the bitterness of the actual fruit. This is a very authentic flavor that will stand out in most recipes. It blends well with all the dark fruit and berry flavors. Orange makes a good sweetener. Lime and Coconut contrast well. FA’s version has a realistic bitter note that’s missing in TFA’s sweeter pomegranate flavor. The two are interchangeable in most recipes.

    IMO his notes are spot-on for Pomegranate.

    ETA: 0.5% is a perfect starting point.

    Good morning D-I-Y'ers !!! :D

    No plans for today. It's an improvisational kind of day.

    My neighbor ladies (sisters upper 80's) had me over for dinner last night. We had fresh salmon fillets and rice with a very tasty Italian sauce plus fresh veggies. It was perfect, awesome in fact. They spoil me silly. :)

    Michigan lawmaker pencil pushers should all go jump off a cliff. They are effectively destroying my and every state fisherman's livelihood.. and their families, and the processors, shippers and their workers and their families. I was working on a career change, but now this is really going to accelerate that. Can't fish October.. there goes half or more of my yearly earnings. Can't fish 80 ft or deeper.. well there goes the other half. We only fish 80 ft or less in.. wait for it.. October.
    Ugh sorry /rant

    Happy hump day, all.

    More rain, although maybe a break yesterday. That's been in the forecast all week, so it will probably rain then, as well.

    Yesterday's mission accomplished, I think we bought out Costco.... Due to not wanting to face the too often maskless hordes, we'd not done any significant town run since early December, so lots to stock back up on. (And they did have tp ;) ) Not sure which was harder, writing the check or unloading the car.

    Happy birth-a-versary, Skeebo!

    What triggered that ruling? I don't know much about commercial fishing but have to think like you said that it's going to hurt the entire economy there.
