Random DIY mixing and More

[hittman]

I’ve tried four different coils on the ares 2 and still am not getting very good flavor. I even watched Phil build it on his review. Either I’ll use this with my menthol where flavor doesn’t matter or more likely it’ll go into storage. I’m glad I didn’t get this one for review.

That’s too bad

@FranC I made it quite clear to the kid if he ever used that word again he would be very, very motherless. There is NO excuse for that. Actually, I think making him apologize to my husband is going to be the worst for the kid. It's hard with a stepdad but it really bugs me because like, yeah, the husband was not perfect but he tried his best and he was TOTALLY clear on how out of control the kid was with drugs way before the rest of us and he just was TERRIFIED for the kid an they argued a lot growing up, and NO ONE in my family would back me the hell up. It took legal action (serious) to get him better.

But, because my ex was so evil, like, any time my son acted out everyone but me and the husband would be "poor kid."

The thing that made me the maddest was when the kid wanted to leave. He had "safe spaces" but he was abusing it and I was like "No you may not leave we WILL finish this discussion. I stood my ground and he SHOVED me and fled to my mom's house and she and my little bro were all, "Oh you should have let him go, blah blah" and they WOULD not send him back. I almost called the cops but he shoved me out of the way so hard I had bruises all over my arms, and I didn't want hik to end up in Juvie. When they came over it was all, "Apology apology oh he blah blah."

I was like, "We are all going to family therapy." I found a chick who specialized in homeless and evil youth. She was late to the session and the first thing my kid di was complain. She was like, "Oh I am sorry I was running late from the shelter dealing with children who do things like you just did to your mother, only THEIR parents were not kind enough to NOT KICK THEM OUT.." He shut up real fast then.

Yeah my mom across the street was a blessing and a curse. She just could NOT understand that a traumatized kid allowed to act like a horrific person is NOT helping the traumatized kid, but actually making their life WORSE.

Sigh. She cost me a ton in legal fees, therapy fees, etc. But like I told the kid, "I will bail you out ONCE." I knew he was gonna go and I hoped it was just ONCE. Fortunately it was a felony but it got suspended and the kid had enough grief he is mostly socialized now.

He still could have had some worse times if you ask me. but does anyone ask me the mother of my own child, specialist in that kind of children and SMART enough to JUST be his mom, not his therapist? No, nope they do not. LOL.

Your kid isn’t socialized enough til he learns to call you and apologize. You should not have to make the call.

Sounds like you made good decisions with him. There are times when a firm hand is needed!

I have the Zeus x mesh. The flavor is fantastic but the bad thing is that standard mesh strips don’t fit it. They made it so you need to use their mesh.

Thanks. Maybe I will just stick with my Zeus X RTAs. Probably a safer bet. I do appreciate the feedback.

Your kid isn’t socialized enough til he learns to call you and apologize. You should not have to make the call.

Oh, he called, he texted, he emailed. He seemed to genuinely be sorry. I was letting him stew a) because I was worried he might be drinking and I wanted to check with my mom if there was any weirdness.

I also was not ready to take the call because I had not decided the terms I wanted to bring to the table and I think it's good to know your terms and prepare (and let the other person know) before you accept that call.

It doesn't always go how you want, but it does seem to help to a certain extent if there is a bit of prep work. He seemed genuinely upset at calling me a "c" but I am more annoyed at his lack of gratitude and thinking WHERE IN THE WORLD I would off his dog to make MY life easier like ANY of his pets have ever made MY life easier.

Oh God, the ferret. That was partly my and Lamictal's fault that drug did not agree with me but a very unsocialized ferret is like the WORST pet you can ever own. The only good thing it ever did for me was eat the budgies.

I'm sorry but they are GROSS and I did not mind no longer cleaning the cage while trying to avoid getting pecked.

Also I had a premonition the Ares was not gonna be All That. No offense Phi/Dimitri/Innoken but it sort of seemed like a tarted out whorish sort of Ares One, The Suck 2.

Even the bell shape not changing. After my first two it reminded me of a Nuclear Mushroom Cloud type deal. Maybe for some it was the bee's knees, but I knew I wanted 3 more precisios than 2 Ares, although I won't turn down the win, but nor will I eat my words unless they deserve to be eaten.

I mean, the got THE drop in tank of the year, it would have been a lot easier to just write a blanket apology for the Ares One and say they would try other stuff, or something.

I mean, it's not anyone who gets Number One Anything, and something GOOD not like, "Mouthy Brat."

But... I just had a feeling. It did not sound like any fundamental changes needed to be made although I hope everyone but those of you who already hate them have THE best experience with the Ares, Tart 2.

Crazy like a FOX @FranC .

In Tucson, I was crazy like a coyote (not the human kind) but IDK I always loved Tucson coyotes. I cannot wait to find out what animal will adopt me in like, Clarksburg. It should be interesting.

Douglas, it did not happen. When I showed up, a couple coyotes talked to me but they were very no nonsense and they were like, "OOoooh you are from Tucson, you can forget hanging with US."

If any animal adopted me, I have no clue I was so busy coping with various disasters of all types, but like probably a VULTURE in which case I am glad I was not listening out. I sort of imagine vultures say stuff like "Death... maggots.... rotting flesh..... mmmm…. Die die die, we will fly overhead and DROOL."

Yeah I guess there were times I sorta felt like that.

I want to be adopted by something cute and fuzzy but NOT a squirrel. Oh there will be squirrels I am sure. I will have to cope.

Maybe @Ricky Vapes has some bunny connections in West Virginia and could hook you up.

 

[hittman]

So you are saying I shouldn't have bought 8 of them?

You may have better luck. I like an airy mtl and cannot get that with what I think is acceptable flavor. I know it’s not going to be like a mesh coil but think it should be better. I did notice on his reviews that Phil used stock juices and I only use Diy. I tried different recipes in it that I use in other devices and none of them tasted good in the ares.

Well, that sucks. I had high hopes for either the Ares 2 or the Hellvape MD so I bought a couple of each. Hopefully I will have a different experience than you did. I don't like a really tight MTL either.

Did you just start mixing or are you just trying sketching new?

 

[hittman]

My BCF order replacing the one that was messed up was supposed to be delivered by fedex yesterday but wasn't and now they don't show an expected delivery day. I swear someone doesn't want me to get those new WF flavors.
