I placed a couple orders this morning. One was for my favorite Clapton wire, hopefully 200 ft will be enough. I also placed a rather large BCF order. I actually included some fruits! Island Mango WF, Apricot, and a peach, as well as a couple strawberry flavors @ShowMeTwice mentioned yesterday.

I'm debating whether I need an Ursa Quest mod..
What is your favorite Clapton wire? I've only used the prebuilt Vandy vape ones. Never actually had a spool of Clapton wire.

How is the WF Shortbread? It's only my list for when I make my next order.
i like both SSA shortbread cookie and SSA shortbread biscuit. They're good.

I have WF SC Shortbread Cookies but haven't used it yet.

I was traveling through Louisiana one time and had some of the best chicken livers ever.
Good morning/afternoon, all. Oh man, you couldn't leave it alone! You had to bring up fried chicken livers. When we moved to SE Texas I took a job in a local stop and rob until something better came along. I think every Mom and Pop gas station in the south is required by law to have a deep-fat fryer. I really enjoyed interacting with the locals. One of our best sellers was a dinner basket of deep-fried chicken livers, deep-fried boudin balls, and deep-fried potato wedges. Are you seeing a pattern here? People would call us and ask how fresh the fried liver was or asking if I could fry up a fresh batch for them. When I worked the second shift on Friday and Saturday evening I never let the items just sit under the heat lamps. They sold out really fast. Thank you for bringing up a fond memory.

river supply has 25% off on their pure nic line....

I'm tempted to buy another liter of nic just to be safe....but currently if I did my math correctly I have enough nic to last me at least 4 years

but then with the upcoming vape ban, bs, I may need to make more diy for friends, so I might need to get more nic to be on the safe side for those that didn't stock up or don't diy.....

    I never did an sft on it but so far like the mixes I’ve used it in. I’m sure someone else could give you a better description.

    What is your favorite Clapton wire?
    I like and use a bunch of different wire types. One I like a lot is 26/36 316L single core clapton from WireOptim. They used to be Lightning Vapes. The 26/36 316L works really well in the Dvarw's BTW. ;)

    They have a cool page showing the resistance in ohms of single coils built with all of their clapton wire spool variations. Chart - Hybrid Wire

    Clapton wire, many variations. Hybrid Wire Spools - 25'

    ETA: They have good high quality wire.

    40 N80/ 30 N80 4x core fused from Wire Optim. I posted all over the forums that Clapton wire was overrated till I tried that one.
    When I first tried claptons I couldn't get over how much more flavor I got from my juices. My kanthal spools were put into a box that I labeled "For Dire Emergency Only".


    When I was around 12 years old I got busted giving a friend those dog treats that look like little hotdogs, the old style crunchy kind.
    Johnny came over one Saturday while my mother was home. He had been eating them for months and when my mother saw him reach into the dog treat canister and eat one she almost fainted.

    That was nothing though compared to the time I told another friend down the street that my dad's scotch bonnet pepper plant was a cherry bush. Whoa my dad had mechanic arms and hands, he could really lay a whipping down. It was one of the only times I actually saw him panic and scared... My father was trying every remedy on the kid to make the burn go away.
    Lol... I did similar things as a kid. My friends usually got me back in some fashion or other. And we used to dare each other to eat bugs and worms. The good old days and the things we did for fun. :D

    Thanks @Skeebo and @ShowMeTwice. I've got the site bookmarked now. I'll give them a look later on.

    I forgot to mention-- on a 3mm bit, with 4 wraps, a single coil is around .34 ohms, dual .17 ohms.. give or take. Just wanted you to know in case that was too low for you. It's not a heavy wire so ramp up time is fast... I vape at 50 watts on dual coils, 25 to 30 on single coil.

    Same here... regular round wire almost seems to give an empty vape compared to Clapton wire... I know "empty" seems strange but I don't know how else to describe it. When I first started using Clapton wire I was just grabbing this and that, it was rather disappointing. People would post in the forum how great Clapton wire is and I'd come in killing the vibe with my "Clapton wire sucks" posts. I have a lot of spools in the "For Dire Emergency Only" too..

    Which apricot did you order?

    I'm also working on what is turning out to be a large BCF order. The Island Mango is in my cart. Also added FA Indian Mango Special. WF Tahitian Vanilla Cream is in the cart too.

    Have you tried VT Passion Fruit & Mango? It's good. I think they did a really good job pairing them together.

    Ah man, there are already two tornadoes in my state (not near me) and the main line of storms is several hours away. My work let us off at noon so son and I filled up my gas tank, picked up some groceries and charcoal if we lose power, and we moved the pool table and pulled my son’s truck in the garage. Long day and night ahead.

    I have hardly used Clapton before, but for me it is too intense flavor with Clapton.

    Round wire 28ga SS316 8w ID2.5 is the only one I use. Very boring person I am. :D

    Haha, love the little mom and pop hole in the walls. You have me wanting some deep-fried chicken livers, boudin balls, and potato wedges now. When I lived in Tampa, Florida we had a gas station that served some of the best Cuban food I have ever eaten. That's saying a lot because I am from Miami. I've lived all over for the past 25 years. If you're ever driving through Alabama, and if you like catfish, check out a spot called Ezell's Catfish Cabin.

    I hope for the best for y'all. Fingers crossed. Did you stock up on bottled water too?

    We have five gallons of water in the fridge and bottled water as well. Thanks for the crossed fingers. Tornadoes have always made me nervous.

    I'm debating whether I need an Ursa Quest mod..

    One, no. Two definitely. Just don't order from Everzon. I'll never live down suggesting them for the Thelema. I like the ursa way better than the Grus but haven't tried the new one with the upgraded chip. The Ursa comes with both pods and the 510 adapter. I'd recommend grabbing a couple rba's for both of the pods unless you just want to use it with the adapter.
