The batteries in my tube mods get changed when they blink. The batteries in the mods that don't have lights get changed when I notice I'm getting less vapor. It keeps me off of tobacco cigarettes. The dictionary keeps me off of analogs.

Half the time the battery gets changed when I nail the button and the Vamo doesn't fire. Panic, mash button, panic, check voltage. WHUPS! 3.2v. Swap battery. The rest of the time it's check the voltage, 3.4 - 3.3 volts, hmmmm, about to head upstairs for some reading, swap the battery. :laugh:

Once again, getting ready to serve me a grilled sourdough bacon cheese sandwich she just made for me while thinking of Edd. Why she prefers to hold it in her right hand is open to speculation.

Whatever grilled cheese keeps you off analogs.

I forgot about the Vamo. It doesn't fire and says "Lo." Unfortunately, I often forget that means the battery is low and not the Vamo's self-esteem because it's sitting next to a ProVari.

I just noticed that the OP is from Mexico. I hope he knows that the taco thing is common if threads go...haywire...and get derailed. Also bacon, and waffles, and random stuff. This isn't the first time, nor are the thread starters usually from Mexico when it happens...

So...please don't be too offended by that.

It's just there's only so much people can or will sympathize with that particular rant. Don't give up though. Rant more. :)

A while back ago he commented about being happy to have created his first "viral thread" so I'm pretty sure he is OK. I was glad to see that since I was right there at the beginning of the derailment.

I think he will be an expert ranter quickly....now that he knows we love derailing threads.

I was just making sure he knows we don't disrespect him, but the topic got...uh...derailed.

I think there is Something in the ECF TOS that says if you start a Rant Thread, that any Food References (even if they are from your Country of Origin) will not be considered to be anything more than a Derailment Tool.

BTW - Where do Waffles come from?

Belgium?

Here, let me google that for you ;)

The word “waffle” first appears in the English language in 1725: "Waffles. Take flower, cream..."[2] It is directly derived from the Dutch ‘’wafel’’, which itself derives from the Middle Dutch wafele.[3]

While the Middle Dutch ‘’wafele’’ is first attested to at the end of the 13th century, it is preceded by the French ‘’walfre’’ in 1185; both are considered to share the same Frankish etymological root ‘’wafla’’.[4] Depending on the context of the use of ‘’wafla’’, it either means honeycomb or cake

I heard somewhere the word waffle comes form old Germanic (I think) and means honeycomb. My guess would be that area would be where they came from or where they were popularized.

Hmm, what about waffling as in indecision?

That Origin could be True.

The act of Waffling comes from Not being able to Decide whether to put Whipped Cream or Maple Syrup on it once it is Cooked.

If it gets Cold and you have not decided, you have Officially Waffled.

Somebody finally noticed that, eh?

I usually use "stinkies" or "cigs" but, sometimes "analogs". Meh. Traditional tobacco cigs aren't digital so......

You mean "Analogs" means a Cigarette? I thought this thread was about Analog Music.

Just like Waffles are better than Pancakes, CD's are Much Better than LP's.
