Okay - Random question for those in the know. . . Got 4 different basic "wall warts" plugged into a power strip and not all of them work as well as they should, especially give that I am using different types of USB Chargers from 2.0 - 3.0 and now Type C . . . So my question this, Anyone have a suggestion what "USB Prowerstrip" would you suggest I can get, especially at a reasonable price to handle at least 6 various USB Cords. Any I formation will be appreciated.

I have no Christmas present budget this year so giving people my photographs (in a cheap frame) Actually, I have many good photos and have got lots of compliments on them before (people are impressed when they ask "did you take these" and I say yes) Also making baked goods.

That works too.
So I am going through some cream-type flavors to mix with Raspberry Syrup. I have it narrowed down to TPA Whipped Cream, TPA Vanilla Swirl, TPA Marshmallow DX, or FA Fresh Cream. Thoughts? I am looking for one that won't mute the flavoring too much.

    I don’t have a lot of money either but I save what I can all year for Christmas because I love Christmas. I hardly ever drink so I don’t have to worry about that expense. My stocking for ecigs is done and a flavor order now and then isn’t much. I sell some tools once in awhile that gives me some extra spending money.

    Dang, nothing comes to mind. The big problem is that so many with multiple ports max out at 1 or 2 amps for the whole shebang, not each port. So, while they may provide fast charging with one device plugged in, if they're all in use, well, crawling might be faster.

    Although this is one "maybe" ;)

    I hope so too for your sake. That did not sound like too much fun yesterday.

    I was able to get in touch with the top engineer at the factory today and got everything figured out so that is a huge load off of me. Turned out that one of my problems was that windows 10 won't let me hot sync my palm pilot that I need for changing the software in the machine I was working on. So the engineer taught me a work around for it and I have the pain in the .... machine finished besides putting the covers back on.


    So as I posted earlier, I have several new WF flavors. I am thinking Crumble Topping or Cobbler plus Bosenberry Raspberry might go well together. Or I have Flapper Pie and Crispy Wafer now too. I welcome anyone's thoughts on how to test these out. I have never been all too big on SFT.

    I haven't gotten around to trying the crumble topping yet but definitely would pick one of your favorite fruits to pair with it. I know you don't really want to do sft but I'd almost recommend it for the crispy wafer. I recently did a bunch of two flavor tests and even afterwards felt like I didn't have a good feel for the new flavor.


    That syrup is one I’d never buy.,,LOL.

    Just throwing in a thought. INW Rhubarb and TFA Acai should both be used at no more than 1% for a new user. Specially the rhubarb. They will both make your mix less sweet. Used in excess they will make your vape sour/tart. It’s best to experiment to find your best %.

    The raspberry syrup isn't supposed to be very sweet and not really a syrup either. It's still on my list of flavors that I need to try either in a sft or mix.

    I would probably go with the FA fresh cream or vanilla swirl. I think I'm going to do my test with it solo when I get around to it.

    I so wish I was closer. I definitely would have bought some tools from you.

    For the second year in a row, everyone is getting handcrafted Christmas presents. Last year, it was paint by number paintings. I brought all the paintings I had done, and everyone chose one to be framed. This year I'm giving everyone a diamond art painting framed ring a hanging frame. I don't know about next year's craft. Anybody got any ideas?

    Homemade knives? :lol:

    I don't have one but this one sounds good. It's 2.4A per port.

    So Crispy Wafer at around 3% solo? Does that sound like a good percentage?

    I would say 2-3% so you're right in the ball park with 3%. It might be a little strong at that but I think it will give you a good feel for the flavor.
