I was lazy today (have a cold) Really need to clean and put new coils in several tanks (drop-ins) and of course, my RTA was cleaned and waiting for a build for two weeks now. Oh well... I'll get a couple more days out of those drop-in coils, do the RTA and some mixing next weekend (I miss my lemon meringue cookie) and just spend the evening watching GimmGreen's vlog (from thursday) and making my BCF list ;) Oh no... just remembered... almost out of cheesecake (need to do that first so it can steep)

My wife is the queen of basement dumping. She’ll clean or put away stuff for holiday decorating and just fill a box and dump it in the basement. I still can’t find my sanding block she used for a project a year ago. I tried looking in the basement but couldn’t find it.
My Dad gave us his old pool table and it was fun at first but now it’s just taking up space. He made a space in his shop and he asked if he could have it back (nicely...you could tell it bothered him to ask but Mom already told him I wanted it gone). I’m so happy about it! It takes up one entire parking space down there. I can’t wait to get rid of it. I’m thinking of the storage and organization possibilities. My son’s truck will fit but barely and he doesn’t park inside.

    It's odd... the two original (square) drop-in coils that came with my subtank mini worked great, then I started using the newer round ones and they keep leaking. I just hope the RBA doesn't leak.
    I’ve never bought the round coils. You can still buy the square ones. The RBA’s don’t leak.

    You still could get one with the coupon. Like I said, I already had a silver one and knew I liked it so when they offered it for review I said yes. It’s easier to review something you know you like.
    The Hong Kong is preorder and the Russia warehouse only ships to Russia. Eciggity had one but I’m not paying that high shipping charge. I’m done! No more shopping! Man breaking that shopping habit is gonna be hard.

    Sorry about that. I didn’t realize they were on preorder. I’ve had it for review for a couple weeks. It was in stock when they sent it because I’m only allowed to pick from stuff in stock.

    I came close to getting one several times. I wish I had... As always, great review!

    Thanks. Like I mentioned, I have two now and really like them. Just a simple every day mod. Nothing fancy.

    I really like WF banana puree. VT pudding base is also great. WF flapper pie is nice if you like meringue also but it's kinda wimpy (the pudding base is much richer) OOO pie crust is fine (but very basic... almost boring) Cookie makes a great crust if you want more flavor (I have PUR but FA is very similar)
    I actually have a pretty good Banana Cream Pie recipe I stole from ELR a couple years ago. There's a couple on there I like.
    Just saw a Banana Moon Pie on ELR @Skeebo , that looks good and not as complicated as some similar recipes.

    Well I spent part of the day going thru my vape stash. My plan was to organize things better now that I have done the majority of my shopping for the time being. I've come to conclusion that I need some more boxes or containers to put things in. I am tired of having drawers full of vape stuff.

    I got some of those large Sterilite plastic under the bed storage containers back in the great 2016 stock up for all my gear/coils. It's working out great for me so I don't have to have a bunch of smaller containers, everything is well organized and out of site but easy to get to.

    I had the weirdest thing happen. I’ve been using a Kanger mini sub with a .5 coil. The coil is well over a month old and still vaping great. I picked it up and took a vape. When I went to take another vape I got nothing. Looked at my PV which said atomizer short. So weird. I’ve never had that happen before.

    I had this happen to me a few times with my Kanger mini sub tanks using the rba....sometimes untwisting it off of the mod and then twisting it back on, the mod reread the coil, and then it was good! Lol sometimes I had to build a new coil in my rba though.

    This was a .5 drop in coil.

    It's been a busy day.... watching and waiting because one of my gals was showing all the signs that she was about to lay.

    A new record, her previous was 6 eggs.

    Wow. So, I'm guessing those eggs are about the size of a fingernail?

    This is a CloudyMutherChucker recipe, little high on the %'s and I would leave out the sweetener but try as is. There are a lot of versions on ELR. @Skeebo do you have your own?

    Banana Moon Pie -
    6% Banana Cream TPA
    1% Graham Cracker CAP (I would sub)
    3% Marshmallow FA
    3% Sugar Cookie V1 CAP
    1% Super Sweet CAP (I would omit)

    The banana cream pie I have used a couple time was very high % flavoring, 18.5, and was great when I started DIY a few years ago but I don't know anymore...
    You can find it as a public recipe on ELR under my name, Banana Cream Pie, but I did steal it from another recipe on the site.

    Got my stimulus (card) today :) My wife will be very happy because if it was a check, I would have to get a ride way up in the mountains and meet her at the bank. I was so happy, I bought dinner for us (OK... I'm cheap Burger King but got 3 woppers. 3 cheeseburgers and three fries for under $15) Mom is happy she didn't have to cook... I made the joke "I'll do the dishes tonight" Everyone is happy and there is still some left for my lunch tomorrow. Next... BCF order :thumb: (and a trip to the local smoke shop for some pre-made juices... trying to support them)
    I appreciate supporting local vape shops, but don't have one nearby from which I've been buying. Wish I did. I have bought a couple of premades online recently, just to support those folks.
    That said, I'm curious which premades you bought locally, if you're willing to share.

    I have one of those for some non-vape gear storage. They are great. I will pick up a couple more to stash some of the vape gear. Good idea.

    Surprisingly, they are about the size of a thumb. They are big and will fill the entire terrapin from front to back. You can generally tell when they are close to laying because they can no longer fully inflate their lungs, which helps them float at the surface of the water. The poor girls basically sink like rocks...
