    Just storm prep for the house.... move everything outside inside onto tarps. Yee haw lol. Pain in the patooty, but better than flying planters or patio furniture coming through a window.
    What a pain that must be.:(

    ok so out of the 4 mods I've gotten in so far...

    the capo 216 is a dud for me..it has the same issue that the capo squonker had, it's like auto set to hard mode or whatever...they tried to overpower it so that even at 10w it's not an enjoyable vape at all for me...it's entirely too hot

    the ipv v3 mini was a surprise....I really didn't think that I'd like it that much...but I'm rather enjoying it...still don't like the fact that it's not a 510 so you are stuck using their elf ada's (basically just a disposable atty) and I'm not sure what the tank is made of so tank cracking juices might break it....but overall I'm enjoying it, I wish that the temp went lower on it, it only goes down to 356F but it's pleasant enough....to be honest I would feel totally comfortable giving this to someone trying to switch from smoking to vaping....there's no real menu options to confuse them with...it's an internal battery so no batteries to play with....it holds 3ml of juice...it's really more of a mtl device but gives a good restrictive dl which I'm really enjoying...it's small, lightweight, and pocket friendly, and surprisingly has really good flavor....

    the battelstar I'm liking well enough, just my ocd on the gold pin instead of all black...and the pin unscrews, I see myself losing it....but it works fairly well....it will probably be one that I take out and about with me...I wouldn't feel heartbroken if I lost it, I'd be mad at myself but ya know....

    the mach on3.....eeehh.... design flaw....it's a nice dual battery mod....but major design flaw on the squonking aspect....it's extremely difficult to actually squonk.....very disappointed, I wanted this bad boy for so long but....meh....you gotta really want it and really work for it to squonk it....making the mod really obsolete for a squonking device...

    I meant to ask yesterday...
    The FA Madagascar, the Irish Cream and the Tiramisu flavorings I got...
    They are like expresso dark....are they supposed to be ? I have never had a flavoring that wasn't clear.
    Classy girl, there are many flavors that aren't clear.

    Yikes! Stay safe!
    Thank you. I think we’ll be fine. If it looks like we’ll be out of power for several weeks, I may pack dog and I up and go to Moms. Himself is a first responder, so he’s stuck here and can sleep in his office if he has to. Realistically we should be able to run off the solar, but I’d be stuck in the house with cabin fever. Mostly storms are just a giant bother.

    Thank you - in all my years mixing I have never received something like this. I have had Green Tea go dark, bit it didn't arrive that way.




    Good to know !
    I don't know if it holds true for all dark flavors but My TFA Vanilla Bourbon is a clogger if I use as much as I'd like. It's such a good flavor.

    But you could stay and see just how good the solar works plus you could get lots of juice mixed.

    I can only speak of the Irish Cream FA, mine is very dark.

    True. We have a backup generator, so power isn’t the issue. But, no stores, cable, internet.... because of the water table all of our lines are above ground. A few years ago we had a cat one that stalled over us. Flooding galore and everything was out for three weeks before they could get the lines rerun.

    TFA Vanilla Bourbon is a very dark flavor too but I love it.

    Same here, I think it's a very nice vanilla that was missing from my life. When I bought retail juices most vanillas had me thinking I didn't like them. Waaaaay too sweet. However, I know now that's just the way retail juices are. I just started using vanillas probably in the last two months. I increased my inventory of them with my last two orders.

    Turns out cleaning my basement has been fun. Lots of treasures. Here's an ink and library paste bottle from the 30s

    I'm more into creams but have a lot of vanillas also. I will no doubt piff some of them when I go through my cases again.

    Well I am glad to know the dark flavoring is ok...especially since I went ahead and mixed with it :lol:
    And...that bottle I mixed up...I am liking it so much I filled my CC with it about an hour ago !
    I don't think that bottle is gonna make a few weeks steeping :lol:
