I haven’t tried one but I think the geekvape creed is 30mm.
Looked up dimensions on the Creed, and the base is 25mm, 29 at its widest point. Which might be the glass. Might still look good though. It is a nice tank.

Good morning @FranC and all you random lovely mixers.
Plans are to take advantage of the relatively good weather and get some outside stuff accomplished. I'm making a new compost area with some steel posts and chicken wire. I'd prefer to build it with cedar, but cedar lumber, or lumber in general, is so ludicrously expensive right now. Then there are more raised beds to be built, and along comes with that some excavation. Tomorrow it is supposed to be raining, so I'm going to take advantage of that and get my desk materials. I also need to clean and wick some RTAs.

Good morning random folks:) Have you any plans today?
I have nothing planned. No work to do. No errands to run. Nothing exciting to accomplish. And, unlike @barkfunklerbunk, I don't have the skills required to build a bunch of cool stuff. So no projects. Basically, this day is a blank canvas.

How bout you @FranC?

    Same here in Canada. A lot of the pressure treated in Ontario comes from Quebec, and since Covid the last time I checked prices were close to double. A lowly 2 x 4 x 8' is $10 CDN ($7.60 USD). I still need to build 10 feet of gate/fencing on each side of my house. Here's a funny story, my snowblower gas tank developed a crack at the base of the tank where the gas hose attached to the nipple. USA price $35.90+shipping, no tax, CDN price $84.99+tax (13%) My Jack's Small Engines order is at the border :D

    Sounds like you have plenty to keep you busy :thumbs: Lumber is ridiculous here too.:(

    That's about where it's at here in MI with even lowly 2x4x8s at my local hardware store. Home depot is a little better at, i think, $5.

    Yikes!!

    My plan is still to vape down my stash and I’m finally seeing a bit of progress. Two mixes in use are almost empty and I’ll get to choose two more soon. It keeps my mind off my last mixes which are still steeping. I’ll need to work on some new recipes also.

    Good morning everyone...

    yes, it is that good.
    I just went through my files and I can't find the creator of this juice. Do you recall who it was?

    It's by VaporAlchemist. Him and TheJuiceFairy have a few recipes I have tried and liked.

    Bought 2 Lost Vape Grus mods last night, @hittman . Black Marine and Black Walnut. Now I'm trying to decide what I need to go with them. Like an RTA, or RDA.
    I like getting large attys that match a mods size and that one is 30mm capable, but I'm a little concerned about the wattage that may be needed to support a tank or dripper of that size. I know it's a hundred watt modd, but I don't want to blow through a battery every hour, so don't want to go above 70- 75 watts on it really.
    I already have an Aromamizer Plus that's 30mms. Next largest things I have are a Zeus X rta and a Troll v2 25mm.



    I like the Dovpo Blotto Mini, but the regular sized one may fit the Grus, not sure. I vape mainly dual coil attys, however the Blotto (IMO) doesn't really shine when using dual coils. Where it really comes alive is with a 3.5 mm single coil. You can't go smaller than that because there won't be enough cotton to fill the juice channel. I use Nichrome when I wrap coils, so the ohms come in low, and I vape it at around 32 watts. The flavor rivals some of my favorite RDAs.... The single coil and low watts really helps my single battery 21700 mods last all day.

    My own disclaimer, I won't say it's the best RTA out there, it's the best one I have tried though. Being mainly a dual coil RDA user I have not tried many. I do have the Aromamizers and think they are good too.

    Good Morning All,

    I ate so much stew last night (3 bowls) I thought I was going to bust. LOL Can't wait for more, but I did put some in the freezer. I use V-8 juice in my stew and just love it.

    No plans today, but we may get the grandkids again. Fun times.

    Cleaning the tanks and ponds today. I need to clean the two filters on my biggest pond so I can start dropping the temp on the terrapins. It's getting close to time for them to take their long Winter slumber...

    All you folks carrying extra weight can send some of your "unwanted" my way. <<<please>>>

    I have trouble keeping weight on. :blink:

    I did too, until last year. I joke that my playing weight is 165 to 170, and I generally look really slim at those weights. In all honesty, MJ for some reason keeps me really slim... I know it's not like that for most folks who smoke MJ. Since moving to Arkansas I quit and the weight just piled on quickly. I was 220 in June. I am now down to 197 and want to get down to 180-185.

    Medical MJ is legal here in Arkansas and I may try to get a card here soon. I just haven't felt the need for it psychologically, but I have noticed all my health parameters have gone south since quitting, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc..

    My BBF that died in a motorcycle accident last year was a MJ smoker most of his life. He was a thin 6'4" and had a great appetite.

    V-8 juice in stew? I don't think I have heard of that before. I can see that working pretty well. I might steal that idea this winter.

    I know that MJ gives everyone the munchies, but I don't think that is true. I mean, I'm sure it is for some folks, but I never felt that way. It does make me thirsty though.
