Doesn't sound inhumane at all, based on the care you're giving them in shipping.
I encounter many animals as I bike along a rail trail through nature preserves. Squirrels and chipmunks are everywhere. And they seem oblivious to me. On these trails, when you pass another cyclist or a walker/runner, you're supposed to yell "on your left" to alert them, both for their protection and your own safety.
Damned squirrels and chipmunks don't much care, and I have to yell really loud "get off the damned road" before they do. 'cept for that one chipmunk who I did my best to avoid...my first roadkill I'm sad to say.
But, the turtles are different. Granted they don't move as fast (LOL), but they certainly are far more aware of my passage. This one was the biggest I've ever seen. What variety would you guess?View attachment 952287
Snapping turtle,male, I believe.

    I have most of the 4 oz I started with lol
    Well, if I end up really liking the Honeysuckle I can take some of that off your hands.LOL. I’ve never bought a 4oz size but I have 3 2oz and one 1oz.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Good evening. I’m heading up to bed soon and am dreading the start of another work week. The weekends seem to go by in the blink of an eye.

    I’ve been trying the Schmidt one shot I got from chefs. It’s a really good cookie. At first I wasn’t sure but it has grown on me.

    I started mixing 3mg for reviews and instead of my normal 12mg for everything else I have been mixing at 6mg. I just don’t think that’s going to work for me. I’ve been vaping a lot more and more often. I may try mixing some 10mg and see how that goes.

    Do you mean the little white insulator on the bottom of the 510 threads?

    Well, sort of. Only the open edge of the insulator is actually sticking out. The insulator itself is inside the 510 threads...with the bottom pin going through the center of it. :)

    Would you say that is sweet?

    If the insulator is inside the threads wouldn’t it be difficult to fall off?

    Yes, if the bottom pin was still in place, it couldn't, unless it was ripped or cracked and pulled out or fell out. That's why I asked if the little white insulator was still intact...meaning not damaged, torn, frayed, etc.

    I hope tonight is better. And that the smoke clears.
    It is a little better today (but still not good) I saw a satellite video today (it was really depressing... day view was entire valley filled with smoke, night view you could actually see the fires... from space!) Mom is coughing and having issues because of this (I said I would just talk DIY but thought I should mention that)

    It’s the first build on it, but you never know what might slip through QC. It appears to be in good condition, but ty for suggesting it as a possibility. Honestly, I wouldn’t have thought to check it.

    That's what I was thinking. It might've been cracked or otherwise damaged during installation at the factory, during shipment, etc. I can't think of anything else that might cause your whole tank to become hot.

    I’ll strip it down tomorrow and put a fresh post coffee/hopefully good nights sleep build in it. I’m tired, and that never works out well with tedious tasks for me. I’m sure I missed something obviously off when I did it.

    I just put my jeweler's headset on and used a bright flashlight to look inside the base...through the big airflow slot. I can see the bottom, intact part, of the positive post insulator, in there. Maybe that has broken or is missing on yours??

    What were the six flavors that were supposed to fulfill your every vaping desire?
    Let’s see… honeysuckle, peach, pear, apple, cucumber and jasmine. Jasmine I must have partially come to my senses, I only have 30 of it. LOADS of recipes available using just those flavors
    :lol::lol::lol:
