Beautiful Baldwinsville (CNY)
70 yesterday (gorgeous for CNY in March :) ), back to the 50s today (still really warm), then normal temps coming up.

DW and I have been very careful for the past year, since NY got hit by COVID19 early on, are looking forward to Pfizer #2 next Tuesday. We each had the one-day-sore-arm side effect, no biggie.

Quiet on the DIY front. The several new blends I tried last year have been fine, but I keep returning to my trusty VC2 and lemon cream mixes. I have been picking up some bottles of commercial, things I know I like to add bits of at times (direct drip onto similar profiles in a squonker), before shipping hits the wall. There were already very few shops I could buy commercial from, due to NY's flavor ban). My main goal is to dig up some air factory Treats Custard Craze, though no biggie since I know I can get close enough (basically slightly tweak my regular VC2, up the flavor % and add a tiny bit of sweetener).

    Happy Friday, frothers.

    Too many trees, too little time. Well, no, I do have time. Just too many trees.

    Did make another big dent, but still lots left. Although today might be for recovery... :facepalm:

    Good morning Everyone.

    Yesterday I received another Dovpo College SbS DNA 60 mod. The College has quickly become my favorite SbS. They're very solidly built like all the other Dovpo mods I have.

    Da plans are grocery shopping plus a couple errands. Beyond that, IDK yet. :D

    Hope y'all enjoy your day doing whatever! :)

    Good Morning Coffee Gulpers,

    This list is overdone and unnecessarily alarming. But I guess it's a good info for people who are trying to avoid anything even remotely and/or potentially harmful.
    Totally agree on both points. I got a good chuckle seeing some of the flavors listed. But like you said, it's good info even though it is alarmist in nature. :)


    ETA: Besides were talking PPM in a flavor. Like a very teeny amount. I'm not at all concerned when one considers the 1000's of additives smokes have. :D

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

    My plans are grocery shopping with Dd. She has an early hearing appointment and wants to shop after instead of this weekend.

    I'm going to the cemetery with my mother and my sister this morning to decorate my father's grave for spring.

    My boss never ceases to amaze me. He really is a good guy to work for but he's a die hard workaholic most of the time. However, he has been flying back and forth to CA since his wife is there for the winter and has been gone 15 days already this year. I'm not sure if she's still getting cancer treatment or not. Anyway, I told him I got an appointment for the vaccine and need to leave that day at 1:30 and he proceeded to tell me how one of the guys I work with that got it was in and out quick and was back to work like he wanted me to come back after the shot. My appointment is at 2:30 and my wife wants me to drive home and let her drive me to the appointment. I'm not going to say another word about it today. I thought about just taking a half day of vacation and not deal with him thinking I should come back. Either way, I'm not coming back after the shot. He can just deal with it.

    Hi in here! In the past week I did two orders from lightfire/kangertech, wire optium and heartland vapes for one more liter. I finally picked up a rba for the voopoo vinci x but forgot to pick up a few spare tanks! It looks like another order somewhere.

    I had no idea flavorah had a list of baddie flavors. :(
    Hi Koolkiz! :) Hope you and yours are well. I'm enjoying the nice weather we've had lately. Bet you are too. Personally I'm not concerned about that list. We're literally talking PPM in a flavor. BCF is really good about listing flavors that contain the questionable stuff. ;)

    Did you ever get your ability to taste flavors back?

    That's odd. I'm a low wattage vaper but, to me, 1.2Ω coil needs 10 watts. Even 9 watts is too low.

    I "hear" Ya' and generally agree . . . The difference is, that there is not just one setting for "Me" and finding the "Sweet Spot" - it all depends on the MOD/POD, Coil oHm I'm using, and the airflow . . . Generally, I vape anywhere between 10 - 14 Watts most of the time and on a rare occasion 20 Watts . . . I just find it very interesting now, with the Sensis I find the lower 7.5 wattage satisfying using the 1.2 oHm coil - not any of the other coils at any settings. . . . However, with the Kroma Z using a 1.2 oHm coil is has got to be 12 Watts for that "Sweet Spot" . . . AND - As for the Sceptre, using the 1.2 oHm it's 10 Watts (no Boost) is the "Sweet Spot" . . . Of course as with anything vape related - YMMV - this is just "mine." . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    Thankfully - Not to much . . . However, being inspired by @hittman, I really NEED to get working on writing up my review of the Sensis . . . Hopefully by the end of the weekend, especially since I am not a great writer/typist . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    are looking forward to Pfizer #2 next Tuesday. We each had the one-day-sore-arm side effect, no biggie.

    AH - Yep, that "one-day-sore-arm" side effect was not that bad at all (24 hrs), however the sore arm has continued for the second shot I just got Tuesday this week . . . Thankfully - No Other side effects for "Me" as there has been for others . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    The weather is fabulous here north of Milwaukee. I have to trim a tree today. I don't have a choice since it's casting shade on one of my gardens.

    I'm not concerned either. It can be alarming but with flavorah flavorings one uses very little flavorings. I'm more concerned about a allergic response than the baddies. :)So far with flavorah I'm good. The only flavors I try to stay away from are the ones that have fructose.

    Interesting about the QC. Please let us know how you feel about those .65Ω coils when you get them. I never thought I'd like anything this low, but they are surprisingly enjoyable in the Sceptre--not so much in the Sensis. They are smaller and tighter than the 1.2s, but have more oomph. But I don't care at all about that MTL/DL pod, too tight for me, after all.

    Maybe @hittman is on to something in his review of the Sensis. Innokin probably should have made the Sensis compatible with Z coils. :)
    Probably not possible, but I wish they could make a second zenith tank for the sensis. Ah, pipe dreams.
    What do you NOT like about the .65 coil in the Sensis? I’m really struggling with loving the mod. The 1.2 at 10w in power is about the best I can get it. I’m getting a water wet/ fresh cheap cotton wick flavor in F0, less of the same in coil+. I tried frequencies up and down without finding a range that made me feel the technology is an improvement. It seems to highlight fruits, but I’m not getting anything for cream/custard/cheesecake.
