Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Good to hear you like your Floyd. I drip every day. Just saturate the wick without going overboard and you will be fine. You'll get the hang of dripping.

Hoping to get the hang of it myself which I never could before. Steeping while I think about it.

I must be caught somewhere between MTL and DL because I don’t like a tight vape. I love my air.

I enjoy MTL, RDL and DL. With MTL I can go as tight as 1.2mm but usually like 1.8mm to 2.5mm. I have my Dvarw MTL FL setup with the 2mm x 2mm AF insert which is 2.83mm total AF. For me, that's an excellent airy MTL or a decent restricted DL.

You can adjust the Floyd to make it a super loose MTL

Wide open the airflow on the Floyd rda is 1.6mm. The folks here who like an airy MTL, Fran, Mel, Katya (might be missing someone) would not like 1.6mm. Too tight.

I consider 2.5mm to be an airy MTL. Lot's of air.

FWIW good rda's for folks who like an airy MTL would be the Venna, FLVR, Hussar v1 or v2, NarEA or the Apex. All of those come with a blind pin (for dripping) and a squonk pin. All are single coil. I have those and any of them will do a very airy MTL to an excellent restricted DL. I have others but those were the ones that came to mind.

ETA: The Pocket v1 RDA as well.

That's me, I like the hussar2 the narca and the venna. Floyd is just a weird name for an atty.

I have put it on a JacVapor DNA, easier to drip with temp control.
After I got one, I understand where Vinegar Works has such a good reputation, maybe I will buy Antiquity V2 a little later.

Everyone who has a Vinegar Works Floyd RDA loves it. I'm in the Vinegar Works FB group and will likely buy the new Antiquity v2 RDA.

I'm back. We won't be buying this horse. She's beautiful, a stunner. Very friendly and a real sweetheart. 6 years (very young).

We thoroughly examined her. When my little Lady put pressure (hands only) on her back she reacted in the thoracic down to the lumbar. I did the same thing and got the same reaction. Back problems. Sometimes that's from improper saddling or riding (or both).

We asked the owner what age he started riding her. 2 years! Ummm, just no. That's way too young. Ideally a horse should not be ridden until 4 years. Their knees and backs are the last to fully develop. A horse doesn't reach full maturity until 6-7.

Bummer. I feel bad for the horse. Stupid owner.

I thought the horses in the Triple Crown races were only 3 years old.

Oh dear! I bet Butch has frostbite in the brain today.

Nope I have enough sense not to go around bashing into trees on an eskimo motor scooter ...........!!

Almost there. Time to shut down the computer and get ready to leave. I have to post a review after dinner since I promised it would be up today.

I like 2.0 or 2.1 the best

Good call on using it with temp control. No dry hits.

If you end up enjoying dripping you will eventually want an RDA with a bigger juice well. The VA Apex has a deep juice well and bigger build deck versus the Floyd. The Floyd has one of the smaller build decks even though it's a 22mm RDA. The actual build deck is something like 16mm or 18mm.

The deepest juice well I know of is in the Atmizoo Creek RDA. It can hold up to 2ml depending on coil ID and thickness of wick. I have a couple Creek's. It's one of my top three RDA's. The Creek is also the only other true bottom airflow design that I know of besides your Floyd.

I supposed I'd better go scrape off the front stoop again. Sigh.

Just curious, would those issues ever go away?

Possible but not likely. I have heard of that being overcome by judicious physical therapy but it takes years & diligence on the part of a knowledgeable trainer

Yes. The Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, Belmont Stakes) are for three year old horses only. I could say much about the horse racing industry. And much of it would not be positive but put it this way, $$$$$$$$. I am no fan.

There have always been very hotly contested debates about when a horse should be broken to ride. Some vets say it's ok at 3 while others say wait until 4. Some old school trainers broke horses at 2-3 years. Some trainers still do. Most of the trainers we know, who have adopted more humane training methods, will not put a rider to horse until the horse is 4 years of age.

My lady friend here worked with horses out west many years ago with Mia Lykke Nielsen (from Denmark). They're still close friends. Both train horses the same way. Mia developed a training method that is very loving, humane and the least stressful for horses.

More and more people around the world are using her methods. Many folks bring her so called "problem" horses they "claim" cannot be ridden. There isn't a single horse that she hasn't been able to train to be ridden.

The videos she posts demonstrate her methods.

She is a "true" Horse Whisperer and very much in demand. The Horse Whisperer - The Horse Rider's Journal That article is from 2016 and describes her methods in detail.

If I was a horse I'd want Mia to work with me... And when I left I'd be bad again just so I could go back to her.

That all depends. A vet would need to look at her. Depending on x-rays and whatnot it could become very expensive. In this case, because she was broken and ridden at 2, we were not willing to risk it.

If a horse, not ridden until 4 years, had this then there is a possibility that it's from an inexperienced owner/rider with improper saddle placement or riding. If that's the case, then generally speaking, yes it does go away. But sometimes not. In either case a decent vet should evaluate the horse. Not all horses with bad backs can be fixed.

Ummm, no comment.

Mia is a wild one. Every time my little Lady has her on the phone it's always on speaker. Mia loves giving me a lot of **it. She's a firecracker Bro!
