Do you have any issues with wicking on your Dvarws? I've seen some pictures on the other thread--scorched wicks? Didn't have time to investigate.

Trying to catch up... Sorry about those random posts. Babysitting DD's cats. Two very curious rascals.

No real issues with my Dvarw wicking. I still can't seem to get the hang of exocet wicking like some folks like on their Dvarws. But I can wick just fine using other methods. That reminds me, I need to buy some cotton.

At this time I’m glad I never had a desire for a second Sensis. It was dead again and took several raps on the bottom to turn on again.

I just couldn’t convince myself to like it. It’s an “ok” vape, but nothing mind blowing, or even above average. I didn’t want to waste my sceptre coils on it, so it’s in the drawer. I’m glad I didn’t invest more into based, based on your experience.

I ended up with three of them. One I bought, one from the review, and I won one. I haven't even used the one I won and the other two are seeing almost no use. I cleaned one tank out so there isn't even a tank on one of them and I'll probably pack it up this weekend. I'm slowly going to finish the tank on the last one and probably put it away too eventually. I have a few packs of different coils for it and still have ten packs of the .5 coils that I bought for the sceptre that I'm not using either.

Me 4. I bought one, it's nice with my 1.2Ω coil, but not all that much better than my beloved Sceptres. The tank is almost empty now and the Sensis will be temporarily retired. I'll probably use it with my Z tanks and coils in the future, but I love my two Kroma-Zs to much to go back to the Zlides--for now. BTW, that pink Kroma-Z is such a lovely color--not baby pink but rather salmon/peach/nude shade. Matches my current nail polish.

I generally am not much of a tobacco flavor vape fan. But I do have something from WF called Vanilla Ruyan Custard that I need to try.

Your basic classic R(uyan)Y4 is a blend of tobacco, vanilla and caramel. There are about 200K variants of it.

I have both TFA and FA apricot. I don’t think I’ve ever had either. What goes good with it outside of peach?

Green tea.

I ordered Callipitter Chow just to see what it was like.

I looked it up. Everything from Rice Krispy's Treats to sugar cookie, cake, vanilla custard and even peanut butter. Let us know!

Poor Red...

That reminds me. Cats and dinner.

I'll try to catch up later. Be good and be well--TTFN

BTW, my cake is (JF) yellow cake. Considering several raspberry flavors (keep in mind it's for a cake so don't mind syrupy):
(VT) shisha rasp, (INW) shisha rasp, (SSA) rasp syrup.
Also want a more standard one for other recipes: (INW) rasp, (FM) rasp
And finally ( because I'm getting low on (PUR) boysenberry preserves ) (WF) boysenberry raspberry. I can't order from River Supply anymore because of the crazy CA extra fees they add.
Will be adding (WF) bavarian cream or (VT) pudding to the cake.

Does Sourcemore do paypal? What are my options for ordering from them?

Well this is different...forest fruit, vanilla and fresh cream. I used vanilla cupcake and vanilla bean ice cream at 1% each. Forest fruit 2.5% and 1% on the fresh cream. Probably could stand a tad more vanilla but I'll let it steep a few days before I do anything else to it. Off the shake, its pleasant and interesting.

(FA) Forest fruit, Custard and Fresh Cream is good, too. Or just Forest Fruit (or any fruit you like) and Custard.

Sad, but true. Conversely, we get most of our meat from a local butcher, and produce from "farmers' markets" in season. Yeah, rest of the time, cardboard strawberries.

We have a lot of good stores and farmers markets and farm stands that carry local, often organically grown produce, fresh fish and humanely raised meat. Year round. And tons of small ethnic markets (every ethnicity ), which import foods made the old-fashioned way from all over the world. Probably the last good thing about living in California nowadays.

I have good Anna news. She will get what she considers to be her dream job. The Iris recruiter called her and confirmed she will be hired. Is just a matter of a month or so to place her in the best job for her. She will keep working at her current job while she waits.

Happy to hear that! Say hi!
Goodnight, Mixers.

I've got a new lemon cream variant that looks promising. 3 Lemons and 4 vanilla/cream flavorings.

FA Custard and a drop of Lemon Sicily or Lime. Works for me. But I'm not picky.

I live right on the border of Centerton and Bentonville in Arkansas. Bentonville is considered the town Walmart built, so the Walmarts are very nice and much different than the ones I suffered through in Florida. It's a shame they can't all be this nice, Walmart's reputation would be much different.

We have a couple of Farmer's markets in the area that we go to often and now that Spring is taking hold, we finally have access to really good produce.

It seems strange admitting I actually like Walmart now. The ones in Florida were full on sensory overload in the worst way.

My sister lives in Bentonville and yes your Walmart supercenters are a lot nicer than my local ones here in Ohio! Really different clientele there versus here though. I like the Walmart Neighborhood Markets they have wonderful produce, a lot is locally grown. I wish they would build those here but the unions stop that from happening.
I am fortunate to have quite a few butcher shops, poultry farms that retail, several large farmers markets and pop-up farmers markets near me that I buy from. I live in a very mixed area of farming, co-ops and urban.

Busy day with household chores but I'd promised myself to carve out time to do some mixing. SSA Ice Creams, Apple Strudel (SSA) SFT, ShowMeTwice Custard, Lemon Cream Wafer, and Banana Moon Pie are now steeping along with a peach/apricot/mango mix. I was running out of defrosted nic and energy when work intruded (help, help, emergency! It's an emergency because someone didn't plan in advance, argh).

Now cleaned up, feet up, and DH is cooking dinner. Time to relax before Monday madness at work. I already know it's going to be a long and difficult week.

Please think positive thoughts - I did an @*RJ* If my extra effort last week bears fruit (twice what the owner expected), I may get a much needed new laptop out of it as a bonus. I'm looking at nice ones I couldn't otherwise afford . We're waiting on confirmation from the accountants and probably wont' get that until the end of the week. It might get shot down or reduced, but it was definitely worth a try.

unless you really need a laptop, you might want to check out some all-in-one pcs....
I needed to update my laptop but man the price to do better than what I had was outrageous...
so I found on amazon an all-in-one 2.5TB HD 32GB RAM for about $1,400...I paid $1,200 for my laptop and it was only 1TB HD and 16GB RAM...now the laptop was touchscreen but I didn't really use it much and mostly it annoyed me so I opted to not get a touchscreen (took me a minute to get used to not having one lol) but the screen is 21.5" basically a smallish tv
so I mean depending on what specs you want/need in a laptop and if you don't really need it to be portable, you might want to check this out instead

Hey @hittman, since I'm pretty sure you order more stuff than anyone on here, I have a question. Between Sourcemore and HealthCabin, which do you prefer? Or do you have a preference?

Besides FT, those are really the only 2 overseas dealers I have much experience with and just wanted to see opinions.

I'm not hit, but personally I'd go with sourcemore over healthcabin just because of the shipping costs...but it doesn't hurt to check them both out and then add them to your cart and see which is cheaper in the end but typically sourcemore is cheaper (just watch what they actaully charge you because twice now they have overcharged me and it's not something you'd really notice, once was almost $5, the last time was like $1.70 and both times I had to go back and forth with them before they refunded the difference)

I really like my dell xps 15, I got the one with the touchscreen only because it had 100% adobe rgb color gamut. I don't think I could afford it now with this mortgage to pay off before I can retire.

Or, if you have no qualms about refurbished, and you need a beast, you can get one like my latest PC. 128GB RAM, dual Xeon processors for a total of 24 cores, 48 threads, for about a grand.

Big box with lots of room for expansion, like my old repurposed NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960.
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce...0+2GB+SSC+ACX+2.0+,+2G&qid=1618238368&sr=8-10
It shipped without an OS, so I spent another $65 for my choice OS, Win7Pro.

That's great. Did she say what the job was?

Same kind of job.
