Random DIY mixing and More

Well, our forecast thunderstorm just went through. Was in the basement doing a load of laundry, and crrraaaccckkk BOOM! Power momentarily went out. Temp went from 82 to 73 in about ten minutes. After the initial downpour, it's settled into a nice gentle rain that should last an hour or two. Lows tonight in the 50's.

It wasn't a long lasting storm, but it was a rowdy little bugger.

I have small orders to FT, SM and 3FVape made within a few days of each other. Wonder what will get here first. I know it will be a wait for all of them but still wonder.

Only 59 here the first day of June. No t-storms but we do have off and on rain.

12 years ago today I took my first vape. Doesn't seem possible it's been that long.

Félicitations, Fran!

Happy Vaperversary!!! So you were vaping for a while before you found the forum. I found the forum to learn more and then ordered my first kits.

Anyone else here use the full size Brunhilde rta? I just have one and have noticed if I chain vape much at all that it gets very hot. I wonder if it's coil placement or I'm just over using it?

Yes,I was. I don’t remember where I found the carts and attys I started with. I know hubs had a habit of burning out the attys that got pricey. Then I found Greensmoke that was good for awhile. I ended up going into a smoke shop to see what they sold. They didn’t have anything but told me about Vermont Vapor. I bought egos and tanks and a search for info brought me to the forum.

I bought some menthol liquid from Vermont Vapor before. I had almost forgotten.

Long time ago. I don’t know if they’re still there.

Oh dear, I am so very confused! Sorry for the many questions, and length of my post, but I am not a very smart person. Nor am I the sharpest bulb or brightest knife. Many people consider me to be, ummm, slow in the mind.

So please be patient with me and kindly answer my numerous questions. I am 100% confident you will clear up any confusion with your answers.

I am not using their service.

That is really confusing to me. Just so I am very clear, you are not watching any programming on Prime, Hulu, Disney+ or Paramount+ etc. yet you have their services??? And you don't pay for any of those services yet you are watching their licensed content, copyrighted material, via those services??? Oh boy, I am really confused now.

So you are not watching any copyrighted programming, TV shows and or movies whatsoever, that are streamed via Prime, Hulu, Disney+ or Paramount+ etc.??? Correct??? If true, what kinds of programs from these premium streaming services might you be watching??? Examples: Jack Reacher or Yellowstone??? I mean, those are copyrighted programs, aren't they???

And the way you are doing this is 100% on the up-and-up, and fully legal per the letter of the law, via the Amazon FireStick instructions and legal department???
I mean, Amazon must be telling you this is all legal because you did it right???

Jeepers, I am really confused here. Hoping you can help me.

Earlier today I read the online FireStick instructions and could not find where they state how to download, or sideload, some app, that is not an Amazon app, in order to freely watch all the premium streaming services.

How is Amazon legally able to do this via the FireStick???

I just don't understand this!

Help me to understand this please. Explain it like you are talking to a 2 year old. In soooo many ways you kinda are.

I am only viewing legally their content.

So you have a legal document that states all content streamed by premium services is free??? Oh now I get it, silly me, that must come with that app you downloaded and use, right??? Told ya I was slow!

To my knowledge Prime, Hulu, Disney+, Paramount+ etc. are premium services that require payment in order to view their shows.

I guess those evil clowns are lying to us with all their TV commercials and marketing saying we have to pay for their services, right??? It would make me angry if they are all free! Where do I get my money back???

Can you please provide SOURCES that state what you are doing is 100% legal by the letter of the law???

I mean, jeepers, you said this is legal. Golly, I am so confused.

I would love to read anything you find that states not paying for content streamed via premium services is 100% legal. Those will be very helpful to me. Thanks in advance!

Like I said I am not a very smart person, so I truly appreciate all your help in clearing this up for me. Thank you Rat.

I have 2 KFL's on Provaris. All the rest of my vaping gear is now set up with TC. Last night I converted the last one, a Colossal.

The Colossal seems to be the best TC vape, smoother than the Pico or the Solo. It was a pain to set up though. You set up the temp and watts via the regular menu. Then you go to a different menu with the mod turned off to set the TCR value, where you had to set each digit of the number separately. At that point it gave a really bad super hot vape. I finally realised that the resistance showed as 1.75 ohms. My SS coil should have been around 0.7. The manual is kind of minimalistic but I found yet another menu where there was an option called detect resistance. Went there and pressed an ohms sign. It detected the resistance as 0.72 and I was finally there.

So it only checks the resistance when you tell it to. I know the room temp resistance tends to wander a bit over time so I guess I will need to detect the resistance from time to time. It seems a little odd but it works.

I was never a big fan of the Colossal, it's slippery and I don't like the touch screen. But it's a really good TCR mod.
