    I'm curious, are like a semi-professional reviewer? You seem to review things on a pretty regular basis. Not that I am complaining. I have really enjoyed reading your product reviews.
    They like his thorough reviews so they keep sending stuff.

    I'm curious, are like a semi-professional reviewer? You seem to review things on a pretty regular basis. Not that I am complaining. I have really enjoyed reading your product reviews.

    A couple years ago I was approached by one company here on ECF asking if I would do a review for them. At first it was just two or three over a long period of time for a couple companies. Then Geekvape contacted me and I did many for them and really enjoyed it because I was already using Geekvape equipment and thought it was very good quality. After that, I was contacted by a couple other companies. Just over the past few months has it gotten to where I constantly have something coming in from a few different companies to review. I don't get paid anything. I simply get sent the gear for review and get to keep what is sent. Recently, there has been a surge of new devices from the companies that I have been reviewing for. I try my best to give an honest review and if I don't like something then I will say so. If the companies don't like it then they can ask someone else to do it. I've watched video reviews of people tearing up a device sent to them for review. They don't like it then they tell you so. I don't want to do a review and then someone get something that I recommend and hate it. I know everyone likes something different but if it's a quality device then it should work for most that like the things that I do. If it's a piece of junk or very difficult to use then I won't recommend it. It's not usually as busy with new stuff being sent as it is now. I wonder if it's got anything to do with deeming regulations. I have to wonder if they will be able to send stuff for review once the regulations take affect. I simply do the reviews because I like testing new equipment. Some of the stuff I've been sent doesn't fit my style of vaping but I am flexible and will try to test it to see if it does what it's supposed to.

    You do excellent reviews. I’m sure they know that.

    Morning, mixers.

    Time for a nap. We hit 96 here yesterday (and about 85% RH), cooled all the way down to 62 overnight, hard to get much rest.

    So, filter and coffee in the water reservoir, water in the pot and

    @JustWondering1 @Katya - I used Contact Us on Atmopedia's website late last night and sent them an email asking where they actually ship from. Got a response really early this morning, which was: "Hi, we ship from Hong Kong and transit time usually takes 2-3 weeks."

    Well I am a fan of your reviews. I was just curious on how you started doing them. Thanks for explaining the process to me.

    So much cheaper. Pods--we'd need 4 or 5/; They are a good option for college kids. Easier access to our stuff while we store it if needed. We are getting help (cheap) with the loading and unloading. Yeah, it sounds unwieldy but I think it will actually be better ESPECIALLY if we have to camp for 4 months OMG forget offing the dog I will KILL MYSELF. My mom gave us extra money to help with like paying people she is tremendously sweet.

    Yeah, if you're moving all that I guess the truck is a better option.

    The tool assemblage.... The husband sold off like half of it but he has been assembling tools since he was like, 10. So yes, I am not making him thin the herd further. I was kinda shocked he gave up as much as he did. Tool for every occasion, that guy.

    I bring him my broken things; he fixes them. LOL all houses need maintenance ALL the time.

    My mom is very left brain she was a computer programmer and like, math and fixing stuff oriented. She tended to attract guys who were hopeless at that stuff. LOL I was always lending her my poor husbands. One day, she was like, "HOW do you attract such competent husbands?" LOL I was like, "Mom you gotta act ditzy and when something goes wrong, you need to LET them try to fix it and like, see how they do."

    She couldn't. She is too control freak oriented and that's why it goes how it goes. I do not stand over the husband going, "You want to dig a ditch, this is how it is going to go." Even when doing concrete, I just shut up and did exactly what he said.

    I am super lucky the husband has saved us COUNTLESS amounts of money over the years. Also, probably certain death by like, cleaning out the dryer well it has a name but I will call it "tube" in all houses of my family members. He was like, "I am amazed at how many people don't know that but your family wins."

    I set up my next VAPE! A new SS precisio. It is almost TOO flavorful may have to dilute. Heh.

    Soon, it will be suffering time. Man.

    I am always thankful when there are minds sharper then mine.
    Based on these calculations then, I shall mix up a base of 35mls VG and 18Mls PG and 3.5mls of NIc (100% in all VG)
    Thank you very much Zazie and everyone else
    You are most welcome.

    By the way, that adds up to 56.5mls, but I doubt if you'll miss the .5.
