I'm a Brady fan, I think he is the G.O.A.T., but the other team has a wizard playing QB. Should be a fun game to watch!

I think, for the first time in my life, I'll have to root for the goat. He's now in "our" conference. :facepalm:

    If it doesn’t have good air flow I may not bother trying it. Must have air.

    I just couldn't get very good flavor from it. I tried several different coils and even bought some superfine clapton wire just to try in it and it was mediocre at best.

    I think I’ll go 6% White Coffee and 1% FA Fresh Cream. Any thoughts?

    That's a good start I think. I don't think the white coffee is very strong. I'm going to try it at 7% when I have another go at it.

    I just had some fun. I had 2 broken Provaris. On the first one the battery contact on the board broke off, on the other the button stopped working. I'm waiting for a replacement button. Decided to try taking the working button off the first one and putting it in the second one.

    Took the tops off both of them. There isn't a spring under the button, just a rubber boot that provides the outward force. On the non-working button that rubber boot had broken in half. I replaced it with the boot from the good button and now I have my purple Mini working again. Apart from the tiny size of the parts it was surprisingly easy.

    I don't think I would have been able to replace the actual switch. As far as I could tell it's held in place by solder and the solder points would be very hard to get to and just a couple of mm from other components. Way beyond my skills.

    I was hoping I would be able to make a new battery contact for the other one but the missing part was tiny and a complicated shape. I'll just keep it for spares.

    I’m loose mtl/rdl and I just couldn’t get enough af. Which is odd because the zenith tank, biip and kroma z all are fine. I like an effortless draw, and I couldn’t quite get that

    Anyone here have a True tank. I bought one quite awhile back and never used it
    That one I PIFed. People who like it, love it. It was too fiddly for me. And it leaked. That’s one thing I don’t do. Guy I gave it to said it worked just like his other ones.

    I didn’t care for it either. I tried drilling open more af, but no dice. It’s just sort of meh to me.
    I have it full open and it suits me fine. I use my Prime and Berserker full open and use them as my go-tos.

    Won one of those a few weeks ago :thumb:
    That's how I got mine, I won 24mm Ares 2 and the 24mm Ares 2 LE. I fell in love with them and I'm increasing the number I have when I can afford them.

    I think I'm the only one that I've talked to that didn't like the Ares 2.
    When I won mine was also when I decided to start using flavors again. I have 3 in rotation and 2 are in the stash drawer and I'm waiting on a couple that I have on order.

    I destroyed a berserker rta trying to drill it out enough lol. I’m at the edge between mtl and dl, so I end up being hard to please. Oddly, the beserker rdta and I get along fine.

    Yeah. I chose the 24mm LE in flint. I think it works fine. I like the whole kit that comes with it and the top fill set up is kind of nifty.

    I assume you folks are talking football which I haven’t watched in ages. Who’s going to the Super Bowl?
    Speaking for the minority here: The last time I watched a football game I was on the clock, covering a local game 45-years ago. It really pisses me off that I am forced to pay Comcast $90 per year for regional sports coverage when I'm more interested in basket weaving.

    Pre-pandemic, I used to make a point of being seen in public during the Superbowl, go shopping or whatever, just to verify that not everyone is completely insane.

    I'm don't think I'm in between any part of DL because I rarely vape over 10w. I too am happy with the biip, Zenith and Zlide.

    In all fairness, I had just finished reviews on the Freemax Maxus 100 and 200 when I got the Ares. The flavor from the tanks that came with those was phenomenal.

    I'll be setting the rabbit ears out on the porch this year. Did I tell you I'm cheap? :|

    What a convoluted work week and I’m glad it’s over...for now. There is a huge lack of communication at my job. And I’m always in the middle of it trying to do my job.

    Dad has an appointment to get his first vaccine next week since he was a patient where he was taken for his heart attack. Mom, still nothing. It’s ridiculous! Then I read they are opening it up for the 65+ group and there are 75+ folks that still don’t have a vaccine. Maybe next week we can get her an appointment.

    My son is in a wedding this weekend and I’m tired of spending money for that and him getting fitted this week and running here and there. He’s at rehearsal tonight so I finally have peace and quiet. He’s worse than a girl about his hair and beard. And I get to hear all about it.

    I’m a little ill I guess. I think I’ll go take a shower.

    :vapor:
