For me, it’s not so much the shows, but the news blurbs in between. That’s one great thing about streaming... I’m not limited to toddler shows when avoiding the commercials. I’m struggling to keep a decent attitude, and with the world the way it is, ignoring reality is the only way.

Thing is...there are more good news stories than bad, it's just that they seldom get reported. How jaded we've become.

I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist.
It's extremely frightening and disheartening when you see first hand what people will do to each other.
But I come here and vape.......all good again :banana:

I'll never forget the first time I folded sheets alone. It's simple enough. But, I had never done it any other way than with another person to hold the other side. It's hilarious to think about looking back.

Doing things alone is a whole different world. Some just need a little thought. Some are impossible!

Very true. If I can do it, anyone can.

@Possum64, you definitely can do it. It can be tedious and frustrating. But, not always. Especially if you keep it simple, have your tools all together and ready, and repeat the build on the same type of rba enough to get comfortable with it.

It's a wonderful sense of accomplishment.


You fold sheets? Just kidding. I do, not a problem. But if you fold them wrong the worst that’ll happen is they won’t fit in the cupboard.

I did okay taking my washing machine apart, installed a new drain pump with a little help from YouTube and eBay. Did some plumbing and learned to ride a mower. Worst thing was trying to restring the weed trimmer.

And now I need to run some gas line. That scares the heck outta me. I know how simple it is, but get it wrong and it’s bad news.

It's not as dangerous as it seems, you can do it easily. You can use soapy water or a match to check for leaks. Dealers choice.......

Yay! I set up my 2 ego mega tanks, I am quite happy. Two more mixes, one a French toast/rhubarb concoction. That may need sweetening, I always forget how tart rhubarb is and I may have added too high a percentage. I think sweetener will help though. The other one is a medley of mango, peach, toasted coconut and a bit of maple. It's not bad at all. I am admiring them, and the fact that the coils read. LOL.

I can do just about anything. I did that stuff for a living for the last 15 years. But gas line is one thing I won't touch. Get it wrong and it could spring a leak a week down the road while you're asleep.

I love pineapple but I've never been able to make a pineapple juice I could vape. It eats plastic as well. At least the ones I tried did. Couldn't even measure it with a plastic syringe, it locked up the syringe before I could push it out.

Yeah, I’d rather do electrical. If you goof that up, you know. Right away lol.

Why do people say that? Wrapping a wire on a stick is the easy part. Then you have to get it attached! Those screws are tiny. You have to make sure the wire isn't touching anything (like the top cap or whatever) so it doesn't short out. And, you have to get ALL that rayon through the tiny coil and trim as needed.

That is not easy! It's doable, but not easy.
Well, I did not get to wicking:), true. But it is not something to be frightened of, either. Women use tiny little clasps, on necklaces, behind their heads, sometimes! Or the wee little earrings. I have magnifiers galore, and use 'em!
I mentioned using regulated mod to check resistance, so you will know if you have a short.
Most people seem to be intimidated by the 'ohms law' part, not by the mechanical act of attaching coils to the deck.(from my reading, anyway)
No one part is particularly complex, or difficult. Just do one step at a time, and check your work. I agree that wicking can be challenging, as there is so much conflicting advice! But, what is the worst wicking 'disaster'?
A dry hit? A little juice drip?
Possum64 already doing DIY juice, and has come to terms with some hazard involved with making an error. Caution is needed for both, but should not be cause for fright!
Didn't mean to imply that no effort was needed. :) Just that it isn't a dark art, only known to high priests, and impossible for mere mortals!

Just thought I'd leave this here as well... ;)


I had a Quinpu A3 and a pair of Datyon B652's gathering dust in storage. Hooked them up today at the shop where I work and it's quite an impressive little rig running off the FiiO X3's line out.

Anyone have a pair of 5670, 6N3P, 2C51, 396A, or 6CC42 they might want to part with? Shoot me a PM.

Fresh from the "expo."

I was a little out of my element. Everyone was in uniform.

Even female members of the species were matchy.

I saw some drop dead gorgeous squonk mods. These were $100-ish but I think he may be negotiable towards the end of the day tomorrow.

20180519_124051.jpg

I really like this one.

If this booth doesn't win best of show, the contest was fixed.

20180519_124620.jpg


Pictures do these mods no justice. Just stunning.

And...

A cash bar. Cocktails before noon? Nahhh... He doesn't have enough.

EventBrite needs some schooling on doing conventions like this. First of all, the lead sponsor is supposed to provide a goody bag with their logo on it, with a few freebies from other sponsors. Then you take your goody bag from booth to booth, where vendors give you free stuff as a way of saying "thanks for stopping by, can I show you something?" And every 15 minutes or so, a sponsored door prize gets raffled off.
