Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
today is rewick. Vapesnail finished, stole 0.8mm air pin from Tripod 2 for test.
Next up is Mobb 2, I never got it 100% perfect, one day I will.
juice wise, I have found a place in Norway that sells MB Milkshake and Belgian Waffle, I am a bit in the thinking box if I buy with a couple of old kits, Kangetech subox Nano and Smokjoy Air 50.

Morning, mixers.
Yep, more rain, but temps still over freezing here at the house.
Well, Seahawks early afternoon, and then hope the Lions can beat Green Bay, or it's all over.
Still, a lot better than what the "pundits" said the team would do this season.
Uh, just for juice, right?

On the older iPhones it wasn’t bad but I looked up the directions on her XR and it sounds like a real PITA. I bought her the battery but was hoping her and the boyfriend would do it.
Good morning folks. Rain and cool here today.
Mornin Randamizers - At high 70's mid 80's with no humidity it's a good day to take a drive, well to go food sholping that is.
I’ve replaced batteries in older iPhones for the kids three times. The newer XR is going to be a pain because the way it’s laid out inside makes it harder to replace the battery. I have to think that Apple did it on purpose. I buy the battery kits from ifixit and they provide instructions online.
About 3-4 years ago all phone makers mentioned they were doing away with ways to replace batteries . . .
Why Most Smartphones Don't Have Removable Batteries Anymore
Though modern smartphones offer a wealth of features, one con is that their batteries are usually non-removable. Let's explore why.

Need more power? An Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider near you can replace your iPhone battery. See the associated cost by coverage type.
I thought it used to be quite a bit more expensive to have them replaced. I might mention to her to take it somewhere.About 3-4 years ago all phone makers mentioned they were doing away with ways to replace batteries . . .

After looking at how cheap it is to have Best Buy do it, I’m going to try to talk my daughter into taking it to them and ask ifixit if I can return it.
I've been putting off writing this because, well... I didn't quite know how to describe the flavor. But what the heck... it's now or never. 
Not long ago, Nov 2022, Flavour Art released several new flavors. One of those was Sea Buckthorn.
I immediately knew it would require a SFT. The scent and knuckle taste test were unlike any flavor I've previously experienced. It has a very strong scent. When I did the knuckle taste test I was met with an explosion of flavor...... from a very tiny drop!!!
What is Sea Buckthorn? It's a berry fruit that grows on a small tree.
The fruit is shaped and looks more like a grape than a berry.
How is the taste of sea buckthorn described? Three different folks who are very familiar with sea buckthorn describe the taste as follows......
1) The berries are quite tart, sort of like sour orange with hints of mango. Some people also liken them to pineapple.
2) By nature, they have an intense tangy and citrusy taste – something hard to describe unless you try it. They have, however, a delicate sweet side taste once you develop a taste for them.
3) They are incredibly tart and taste like a sour orange mixed with hints of mango and the sweetness of pineapple.
I SFT'ed FA Sea Buckthorn at 2% on 22 December. I've been vaping it for three days so as to get a good handle on the flavor.
I've never had sea buckthorn before so I don't know how they're supposed to taste IRL. Using the three folks descriptions as a guide... FA's Sea Buckthorn has a tart tangy note, a citrus note and fruity sweet notes. The fruity sweet notes taste like a mashup of fruits.
The tart note does have some sour but IMO not a "yuck" kind of sour. That hits you right up front. As far as a tart to sweet ratio flavor-wise, I would rate it like so.
Perhaps if I SFT'ed this at 1% it might be less tart.
There is a citrus note but it isn't a heavy kind of citrus. It's more of a mild tasting citrus. On the backside a nice sweetness shows itself. The sweetness balances the tartness very nicely. It's not a sickly sweet. It is more of a pleasing type of sweetness.
When I take a decent hit and let it roll around I do taste something similar to orange, mango and something almost like pineapple. As I said previously, it's like a mashup of fruits. Truly this is unlike any other flavor I've experienced before.
Do I like it as a single flavor? Yes. It quickly grew on me. There is much happening with this flavor.
Would I vape it as a single flavor? No.
I tried FA Sea Buckthorn with a creamy sponge cake mix. The cake mix helped to balance out some of the tangy aspects of sea buckthorn. It worked nicely with my cake mix.
FA Sea Buckthorn is a very strong and bold flavor. I would use it in a mix as an accent 0.25% - 0.5% and as a main note 0.75% - 1%. Beyond 1% you run the risk of FA SB overtaking other flavors.
It could be used to add tartness to sweeter fruit juices or fruit mixes. I think it would pair nicely with any of the cranberry flavors or other berries (raspberry, strawberry, blackberry etc.). Off the top of my head, it would make a nice accent to an orange, a pineapple or a mango mix (or a combo). I'm sure there are more.
I think it would be best served in bakery, beverage, jam, yogurt or ice cream mixes.
If you are not a fan of flavors that have tart and sour notes then this is not a flavor for you.
Overall I think it's a good flavor.

I’m trying to slowly get back into exercise. Still kind of weak but got in two walks and some free weights this weekend.
My daughter is coming over for dinner and to visit. I assume the boyfriend and dog will be with her. It’ll be good to visit but I hope they don’t stay really late.
