RIP "Ol' Sparky" :(

[BigJimW]

Today, my best friend, who's been through with me through thick and thin in the war against the ban on the e-cig, my dear friend, Ol' Sparky, passed away in a final plume of vape that would have made even his papa atomizer proud.

Ol' Sparky was my original atomizer that was shipped in my Sophomore (DSE103) kit over a month and a half ago. Sparky made many vaping videos and in his last appearance, appeared in a part comedy, part drama video.

Ol' Sparky started to feel a bit ill yesterday and today, after exhaustive resesitative efforts, could not be revived. Sparky was briefly revived yesterday, but the metalic taste and the rapid loss of vapor stated otherwise.

Good bye, ol' pal. It's been a great month and three weeks. His video performances and vapor will be missed.

The memorial service will be held in the Staples Center. Free tickets to the event will be drawn randomly. Contact TicketMaster for details.

I'm sorry for your loss BigJim, sparky was what so so many atomizers try to be, but so few achieve. He touched so many, and inspired so many more, the strike clan send their deepest sympathy to you and yours at this grievous moment and are prepared to bring 5 gallons of potato salad to the wake, sparky woulda wanted it that way.

SHOE LEATHER? Yeah, came from the shoe I used to kick you in the ***.

Oh, and THAT mamby-pamby bit of food on that Titanic like pristine plate? That would be an appetizer. Try beef stew. You only need a crock pot, this

And you can have something a MAN would eat

And how did this thread get hi jacked like this? We're in national mourning over Ol' Sparky. LOL

Well, actually, with all the money saved from analogs, not only can you keep your supply of juice and accessories on hand, but you actually save money to get the good steaks once in awhile.

I miss Ol' Sparky.

My condolences, Jim.


What IS the average life expectancy of atomizers, anyway? I have a penstyle and mine are doing OK about a month and a half in.

 

[PTJD]

Yeah, I see why Ole sparky died, bad food!

Need some Maryland crab cakes with a spicey chipotle Bechamel sauce!

Bring it on!

 

[PTJD]

OOPs, Sorry Jim not sure this was a serious subject, sorry did not mean to hijack this thread!

 

[Jayhawks]

I hope to see a USPS Stamp soon, in memory of ol'sparky

My condolences, Jim.

Well, it depends on various things. Most say about a month or so, but it depends on how to take care of them, nurse them, let them sleep in your bed, build amusement parks for them...

Oh, atomizers. About a month average. But some have died within days, some are vaping strong for months with the same one. Mine lasted 7 weeks, so that's not bad considering they're about $7.99 each. And as I have 7 spares, I should be good for a few more good vapes.

Lots of tips on cleaning and maintenance of atomizers to be found here. But not in this particular thread. 8-o
