    So you must not be a big fan of squonking if you never use them.

    I am not a big fan but have a few on hand in case I need one to review an rda or something.

    Hope everything goes well at the eye doctor. That reminds me I need to order some new contacts.

    Thanks. I'm going to see what he has to say about the soft contact he prescribed for my left eye. The cornea specialist thinks I should be in a hard lens, which means an expensive, hybrid lens.

    Good morning random folks. :) Have you any plans today?
    Just working. I'm now starting to get caught up on my normal work. Feels good to have the bulk of those projects behind me. Still things to do, but at least the grunt work is done.

    I have multiple squonkers and I haven't squonked (excuse me...:oops:) in years. I'm glad I have them in my stash and hope to pull one out soon.

    I took Friday and Monday off. They gave us Wednesday as a day off out of the kindness of their hearts. So I will get Friday this week, and two days next week. Boy do I need it. I haven't taken much time off this year and I've been full blast.

    I'm having issues with my solo not connecting to the battery. When I get it connected it works most of the time. But sometimes it doesn't and it shows the wattage going crazy when I mash the button. This scares me as a lot of my stash contains solos. Most of the time it works, but when it doesn't it drives me crazy. When I start back to work I'm going to have to bring backups just in case.

    It's getting hard to find good squonkers, especially dual battery mods.
    It seems like most of the ones I have been reading up on are single battery. Like the Vandy Vape Pulse ones have a lot of reviews out there, but at least they have the option for the larger battery size.

    Morning all.

    Nothing special on the agenda, see what develops. Always yard work if I get bored. :facepalm:

    Do need to start thinking about some new, "change of pace" mixes, lots of my "regulars" on hand, so not critical. Yet. It is occasionally a small challenge to keep 12 different flavors going ;)

    Meanwhile,

    Almost happy with a strawberry biscuit. Thought of a couple catchy names, just have to pick one. Might get mixed tomorrow.
    I have been vaping what I call Strawberry Biscuit but I used OSDIY Succulent Strawberry and Inw Biscuit. Made a huge batch and its one of my favorites. I think I did the strawberry @7% and the biscuit at 2-3 % but can't be 100% sure until I look up my recipe. Its in Kansas and I am not.

    :)

    Sticky pin? Does it happen with more than one tank?
    I thought about looking at the 510 pin. I'll do that after work. It seems to depend on the battery type. But lately it's happening to every battery. I only use one tank on this mod. Will alcohol on a Qtip work?

    MA taxes vaping products at 70% starting a few months ago. It was weird because this is such a left leaning state (and don't get me wrong, as I've been one for most of my life until not long ago) that it wasn't even in the local news, since it's become true that if you're on the far left then you tax.
    I only found out about it when I placed an order online and when I went to check out, there was a tax on the order which just about doubled the price. It was marked as state excise tax. So, I went looking and, sob, it was a law passed by the legislative fools here. Unbelievable. Clearly they do want to encourage smoking.

    So far Ohio only taxes eliquid 0.10/ml effective 2019, distributors are responsible to pay that tax, which I'm sure is passed along to consumers. At one point they tried to pass $1.00/ml consumer tax but there was enough pushback at the time to stop it. Local municipalities have been pushing for flavor bans for years without success. They have a good/active Vapers Trade Association in Ohio.

    Uh, Dorothy??

    Yes, alcohol on a swab is a good way to clean the pin and 510 area. I like to pull the battery out when I do that, just in case I hit the fire button while cleaning. (Or at least turn the mod off.)

    But now I'm confused. First thought was, yes, the 510, but you're saying it happens with every battery? As in 18650? A poor connection on the battery would make the mod toggle on / off...

    I'm going back to square one with a biscuit recipe. It appears I have already overdone the strawberry. I have Strawberry Biscuit, Strawberry Biscotto and Red Touch Delight. I need a change of fruit. Possibly a mango wafer.

    I have to admit to strawberry flavored eliquids, (strawberry daiquiri) being my favorites right behind apple pie, my ADV for the past almost 10 years. I never found a strawberry cream type I liked though, I should try a strawberry, biscuit.

    You never know. Have you already checked Zazie’s blog ?

    I evidently didn't sleep well last night and am experiencing what I would call mild symptoms from my second vaccine. My arm is pretty sore and muscles are achy. I have a bit of mental fog but am not sure if that's because of not sleeping well. I feel like I could get a headache. It's kind of lingering but not really coming out as a full blown headache.
