I am up, with the new dog. We had visits from 2 different grandkids at different times, and both times the dog came to me and sat by me in my recliner. This is huge! So we spent a lot of time together since the youngest GD is staying with us until Monday. Hopefully we'll get back to sleep sooooooon. :)
Progress !!! :thumbs:

Good morning EveryOne :w00t:

71° partly Sunny with a nice breeze. Really nice out. Windows wide open.

My daughter and I had a nice long walk/jog/run with our GSD's very early this morning. Not yet sure what is in store for today. She mentioned wanting to do a few things, we'll see. I'm game for whatever.

Just finished breakfast (couscous, fruit and OJ). So... time for first vape + coffee. Although, I likely do not need the coffee, but ...ummm... coffee good.

Morning, mixers.

IF they guessed right (it does sometimes happen...) we'll be in nice mid to upper 70s today, and maybe for the next few. Rumors of random rain, but the maps don't show any of that randomness coming close to us.

I get the error even without an atty :greengrin:

Not good!! You probably have already (but I'm known to occasionally miss the obvious) did you look into the 510 connection on the mod to make sure there isn't some little bit of conductive material in there? Yeah, that error with NO topper, the problem is in the mod. :(

    Good morning folks,
    still into my morning coffee, may or may not do anything today !

    Not good!! You probably have already (but I'm known to occasionally miss the obvious) did you look into the 510 connection on the mod to make sure there isn't some little bit of conductive material in there? Yeah, that error with NO topper, the problem is in the mod. :(
    Will thoroughly check the 510 connection, but if there had been material residue there it should have shown a short in the power setting as well.
    Have also changed the batteries, works perfectly in power but gives the error message in TC even without atty.
    I am going to build an atty with dicodes's wire, may take an unknown atty for me so that it becomes one project out of it.

    Okay, I'm thinking you have the Sunbox Game Over 360 N squonk mod???

    If so, take the allen key that came with the mod and try raising the 510 pin. Per their webpage it is adjustable.

    My thinking is the 510 pin might be a little too low. Yes, I know it works in wattage mode but perhaps the 510 is not making a solid enough connection when you are trying to run in TC mode. There is a lot more going on with a mod when running TC mode versus using simple wattage mode.

    Good luck !!!

    It is correct, Sunbox Game Over 360 N, 510 pin is adjustable, I have adjusted it in just about every possible way.
    I will send them an email on Sunday and see if they have any suggestions.
    Without the problem in TC as it is now, the mod itself is lovely, 75mm high, 30.5mm thick, and 45mm wide, pretty good ergonomics too.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I got out early before we got up to 85-90 today and finished putting the first coat of stain on the deck floor. I have enough left to do a second coat so plan on doing that in an hour or two.

    I got six tanks cleaned out earlier and want to make a solid effort to pack some stuff up. My vape area in the garage is total mayhem right now and I haven’t even opened the samples I received yesterday.

    Tor... as I recall @ducasse and @Aerodan each have a Nucleo Game Over 360 and the DNA version. Not sure which version @Technonut has. Perhaps one of those guys might be able to help you. Ducasse, Aerodan and Technonut, go back to page 7518 for a full description of what's going on with Tor's Game Over (thanks).

    Tor, see this thread (you posted there previously)...


    Maybe consider posting the 'short out protection' issue in that thread. The problem you are experiencing, and its eventual resolution, might be very helpful for other users too.

    Just a thought. :)

    ETA: I've been thinking about buying the DNA 60 version ever since Ducasse started that thread. Still thinking... :lol: :lol:

    And... another new mix...

    Creamy Cucumber

    FW Yogurt 2.3%
    WF Frozen Yogurt 1.3%
    FA Cucumber 1.3%
    SSA Natural Lemon 0.4%

    This, cucumber yogurt, is a very tasty and totally refreshing Summer vape !!!

    Tested off the mix it is smooth and very vapeable. Give it 3-4 weeks steep time, suggested, and you will be rewarded.

    I can't say anything more about FW Yogurt and WF Frozen Yogurt than I've already said in my previous posts. They're two great flavors that simply play off, and work well with, each other excellently in mixes.

    FA Cucumber - - - HIC's note (partial): This tastes like fresh cucumbers - actually a very appealing and intriguing flavor to vape. It’s light, refreshing, and slightly sweet.

    Flavour Art created a Winner with their cucumber flavor. It is very highly accurate when compared to eating a cucumber in real life. I eat many cucumbers, love 'em.

    To enhance the cucumber profile I chose lemon. SSA Natural Lemon was a perfect choice. It's a very accurate lemon flavor. And also one that doesn't fade. In this mix lemon is used with a light touch (much like it's used in a cucumber salad IRL).

    In my mix the lemon is there to add a light tartness and a slight lemony flavor to the overall mix. Cucumber and lemon pair very nicely together. I have the lemon set so it backs up the cucumber. And... it does that nicely.

    I couldn't find my bottle of FA Black Pepper (found out my younger brother has it :facepalm: ). If you have black pepper, add 0.25% - 0.5% (or to taste) same as you would with cucumbers in real life. It is a perfect pairing with FA Cucumber.

    Interesting thing about mixes where FA Cucumber is used... over our lifetimes our brains are very conditioned to expect a cool to cold cucumber when we eat one. With this mix your brain will be tricked into believing your sense of taste is experiencing the 'cool' factor of a cucumber (along with the yogurt).

    @Zazie can you please add this to your blog? Thank you.


    ETA: Worth noting... SSA Natural Lemon is a strong concentrate compared to some of the other lemon flavors I have.

    Have two new mixes done using some of the new flavors - Butta Nutt Cookie from an ELR forum thread and an expanded random seed, Choconana Milk. (was thinking maybe 'Nanas For Chocolate Milk if it turns into something)

    That's a good idea, I had forgotten about that thread there.
    That's where this Nucleo issue belongs.
    Should have a post made in an hour or so.

    The Game Over 360 design is good, for me the deciding factor was that I had bought a few crappy 5 squonk bottles, when I went through the box it turned out that I had 6 spare bottles and 4 complete. It was this with buying extra of extra, something we learn in this thread.

    Question, would the two yogurts make for a good base? Cucumber does not appeal to me, but a fruit yogurt does.

    Angel cat loves teasing both German Shepherds. They're like a couple Marmaduke's chasing her around the house right now. Crackin' us up. They love cats and get along well with all of ours up north.

    Tried to shoot some video to post here but those didn't turn out well. So that ain't happening. :lol: :lol: I need our GoPro camera (up north) to shoot clean video.

    Yes. Those two make an excellent yogurt base.

    Also, SSA Whipped Cream ...or... FLV Whipped Cream, a small amount (0.5% - 1%) will further enhance the overall yogurt profile.
