Random DIY mixing and More

[DLKnives]

Morning all,

Doc appt went well and he cleared me for surgery, although I had to wait in a hot room for an hour past my appt time. I hate that!

My Element vape order will be here today - Kroma-Z, Sceptre pods and coils. Ordered a new-fangle wallet off of Amazon, RFID blocking and very thin. That will also arrive today and we will see. The money clip isn't needed - the wife won't allow me near cash lol. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FPVR858/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Supposed to be 104 today, may need a jacket after last weekend!

We all have a lot of stuff.

Cuz, we are Professional vape Hoarders.

Just wait until the ECF Retirement Community opens.

Everyone will be swapping stuff from their collections during Bingo night.

Well, there is nothing I've seen that I have the slightest interest in.

Speaking of being done buying gear. Have plenty, but not done. I'm waiting on a VA Apex RDA from the Philippines. It's being shipped via UPS, which I thought was no longer shipping vape gear. UPS tracking says it will be here Friday.

I managed to mix up some of my vanilla, butterscotch and caramel bases earlier. I left my mixing gear on the kitchen table just in case I come up with some new stuff to mix. Still looking around foodie sites for ideas.

What are your favorite foodie sites?

What are your favorite foodie sites?

Off the top of my head there's Yummly, Epicurious, SimplyRecipes.

I have very many bookmarked in my browser. I need to organize them someday. Not looking forward to that.

This one has the top 100 baking blogs and websites. https://blog.feedspot.com/baking-blogs/

Found this one recently. It has 50 of the top bloggers sites.

@FranC, also... many times I will just type in something on Google, Bing or Yahoo like "what fruit goes with Amarula" and/or "what bakery can I make with Amarula" or simply "Amarula recipes".

Besides looking at the links and text I click to see the images and photos. When I find one that looks good I go to that website. You can find a lot of good stuff (and more sites) that way.

Good idea.

I had an appt with a place to pick up a CPAP machine 7/23 at 9am and that was a problem because they are way far from us and rush hour traffic would be insane. So I just called and got a appt at a location in Henderson which is way closer and it's at 11am. Sweet. The nice lady also told me which machine I am getting and I'm going to look it up now - it's a Resmed S10.​

Happy to say I've never had much of a desire for expensive mods.

I think it is difficult to justify but many have a lifetime guarantee which makes them quite desirable....as always YMMV

That doesn't matter much to me. In 11 years of vaping I haven't lost many mods. I think all but one were 20w iSticks.

I do like looking around ELR, ATF, Reddit etc. to see what folks are doing with their flavors. And use those places for my research. I enjoy seeing how they're using flavors and the ways they've put things together. Good ideas and tips are always found. I like the folks who include detailed notes on the 'whats and whys' of how they put a good mix together. For me, with DIY there will always be something to learn.

I would give each kid one of these. No instructions.

What could go wrong?

Tell them it is hair gel ........

The only downside to that is when a mod maker quits. No more warranty. We've seen many of those over the years. That's why I've always bought mods that I can purchase spare boards for. Like with my DNA, Yihi and even the cheapo Pico 75's. I have spare circuit boards for each. Other mods, like the Aegis Solo's, I bought several. If one dies it becomes the spare parts for any of the others that might need something. I is a Vape Prepper!

I love Mark's reviews and tutorials. My only wish is that he would, once in a while, say something is not quite right about a product. Hmmm, maybe we should send him a few Smok mods to review.

IMHO he does point out shortcomings/faults where necessary but hey he does invariably review faultless stuff....
I do agree that no reviewer gives more than a six week appraisal and long-term faults can appear after that point. You just have to bear that in mind when you watch any reviewer.....as I think it was Opie that said she rarely watches them except for build videos. Hell you can buy a 500$ mod and have the board fail on you in the first week....it just depends......

Well .......that didn't work out too well.
Went out back to mow , got about 3 feet from the back door caught my foot on something. 20 minuites later I managed to be back on my feet but not moving too well. Banged my left elbow, managed to twist both ankles, and landed hard on my left hip, plus threw my back out royally.

OUCH

I don't have a lot but have a spare board for a couple dna mods. I love the replay feature on the dna color mods. I wish my Jacs did that. I also have two spare Jacs and a spare odin mini dna75c.
