Blue is my favorite color, been wanting to get a mod with nice inlays or whatever like that. I got a black/marine(blue) and a black/walnut. Now I need a matchy blue atty to put on it :)

    I've been dealing with a slow leak with my Dead Rabbit rta and today I finally wanted to do something about it. I thought I'd try out some of my other gear, starting with an Unlimit. It took me a bit to figure it out but I got it up and running. I tried it with Falcon coil, figuring I'd build on it later. It had great flavor, but it leaked worse than the DR. Too bad, maybe i can get it to work in the future. I then got out a DR clone I got from FT. What a disaster! The clones are not built anywhere near the specifications of the OG. The chimney isn't even threaded, but supposedly latches on to the deck with little hooks. Even with the chimney latched the glass just rattled around, not making any kind of seal. What a piece of garbage! Once Christmas is over, I'm going to have to purchase some more RTAs to replace all the clones in my stash. I finally ended up just replacing the glass in the one I had been using. So far that seems to be working.

    Wow. Glad you got something going.

    Good afternoon/evening everyone. I was pondering something today. Do you all keep a record of all the vape gear you have acquired?

    I was having a creative block today, so I decided to do some home organizing today to clear my head. I find it helps. While I was cleaning out and organizing a closet, I got to thinking about maybe documenting the stuff I have in my vape stash. That way I can easier keep track of things.
    I have a rough idea in my head, just enough to know I don’t want to see it all listed in neat little rows. I could pare it down, but I’m sort of attached to my hoard :blush:

    I started out with good intentions of making a complete list of everything but there’s so much that I got overwhelmed and stopped. One day I’ll go back and finish.
    I wouldn’t even attempt with all that.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Just a quick comment on smelling DIY flavors: Chocolate chunks/hazelnut smelled like over kill on the hazelnut, and cheesecake/graham cracker smelled like overkill on the graham cracker... just tried them both and they are spot on :thumb:

    You should smell VT blueberry milkshake. It smells horrible.

    @Vaperer please stop analyzing me, forgiving me and trying to interact.

    You have been doing it for a while now, I am not interested in your assessment and I think you would get the hint by my constant ignoring you and your statements.

    NOW, I am going to politely ask you tot STOP if you wouldn't mind. Thanks. I am really disinterested in you and your "thoughts" about my :"issues,"

    did you mean @vaper1960 ?

    Don't know if you were being serious when you asked that question . . . But I'm going to try and answer it from "My" perspective anyway . . .

    Nope - You're not the only one - I really like getting "Free" Water too . . . However, since the water around here is not great, I have a filter next to the faucet that I use . . . Also, some people ("Me") are concerned about being prepared just in case there is an "emergency" when you can't get water from the faucet, especially if there is any water contamination or if the water is "turned off" (electricity goes out - like during hurricanes ) . . . Personally, have 4 cases of Bottled water stored at all times. AND - When there is early notice of water being turned off or no electricity, or a weather event coming - I fill at least 6 buckets of water and the tub for if and when the water is NEEDED . . . So YEA - I use "My" water faucets . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:


    .
    Yes, i was serious.
    But, I was referring to the lockdowns which prompted the rush on certain goods in shops.
    I do understand stocking up for weather etc emergencies.
    But, I don't see how a virus would cause my faucet to stop dripping.

    I've been really digging Kind E-Juice "Reverence" - it's got a honeydew melon and cucumber taste. Searching the databases, nothing for a melon/cucumber DIY comes up. Would anyone be willing to share their ideas? I checked TFA and found melon options, but cucumber not so much. I usually mix 100% VG or 5%/95% due to PG migraines.

    Have great evening Shiny friends :)
