    I've bought an Alien 220W, HCigar DNA75, and an Innokin Proton in the last few months. More stuff for me to rotate. Right now, I'm vaping on the eleaf Invoke and occasionally I'll grab the iStick 20W or the iStick 40W here and there when I want a small mod for pocket carry convenience. The 40W is about 3 or 4 years old with medium usage and still holds a charge for a surprising number of hours. The 20W istick is a year older than that and it's good for yard work.

    Shinyitus kicks in and the urge leads to Credit Card usage. :) I have a few mods that haven't been used in a while. A couple have only been out of the box to test. It's all FDA insurance in my book.

    Well if anyone was interested in a VA spade 21700, looks like they were discontinued.
    No longer on va website at all and prying eye sold out of what they had

    Guess I missed that memo, but glad I got mine when I did.

    Still got the 18650 models though (including the dna), for how long I couldn't tell ya.
    Just figured I'd mention it since a couple people mentioned possibly getting one.

    OMG, you guys! The implant! (Dental)

    LOL so I showed up and the oral surgeon was all like Happy and said, "This is indeed the end piece I can screw it back in."

    Then he started muttering about SNIPPING through my "overgrowth of gum" and I said, very doubtfully, "Um, I have a REALLY important job interview tomorrow, you can NOT F up my face!"

    He kept saying how he wouldn't and busily numbing me up he was like, moving fast too so I swallowed a lot of blood cuz the hygienist like, couldn't keep up and also not with the numbing shot, it was agony." I was thinking, "Yeah, I NEVER leave here without looking like I have been the victim of some major domestic abuse," but doubtfully I sat there, gulping blood while he said .... like "suction!" and "lip retractor" and I was thinking "I bet my face is ALREADY F'd up."

    Then it wouldn't "do it's thing" like screw in at all and he kept wondering why and I kept noting how my oral surgeon has WRISTS like OXEN hooves, I mean oral surgery is a brutal endeavor so I spat out all the gauze (GROSS) and then said, "Do you think there could be a little bit left in there because I heard a snap." And he looked at me like I was the exorcist but checked and indeed there was, and he said, "Ohhh... that's not GOOD those we can't always get OUT, and tried to shove the gauze back in but I remembered other times he said stuff like that and I had to call all my family members and be like, "No the husband isn't beating me and etc." SO I spat it back out and said, "I bet my mouth already looks like a dead trout, can we address this in like a month and he was all disappointed because he loves to solve problems or hates his wife, IDK and he was like yes, and I was like "Anything special I should do with the gum you just filleted?" and he was like "brush it well" and all disappointed then asked me what I DID, like I DID anything other than live with my mouth and dentures and I said, IDK but apparently I am the one with all the tremendous FORCE maybe I should be in charge next time, (not really I don't think).

    Then I went out and puked in the parking lot and texted the husband for a while because I didn't really feel cool at all but not only drove home but ALSO stopped at Safeway for lip balm and orajel and whatnot and when I came home I didn't even sit down I just tried on stuff until I found the "right combination for my vibe of the general agency" which is totally a thing I do etc. THEN I IRONED IT ALL.

    I am so ready for tomorrow, and talk about initially pleasant news followed by bad news but yeah, I am also going to be on TV I guess because it's shark week, I'm really glad I am really careful with oral activities because apparently I could totally eunich the husband. I made sure he knew it, too, just a little advance warning.

    LOL sorry for that last bit well ALL of it, but hence went my day. Soon, I shall be printing stuff out and acting like my purse is ALWAYS this organized which is probably the worst lie I ever tell on a job interview. Etc.

    The old 20W iStick was great until the threads stripped on the plated brass 510 connector.

    Fat Daddy to the rescue. :D

    I remember I used mine with an ego adapter and collar so not to wear down the threads. I also lost my lovely Sigelei 40w to a stripped 510 threads. They were bronze. I loved that one!

    I had a couple of Sig Mini 30's. They were still working fine when I junked them. They had one bad habit. Normally the display would go to bright when you took a hit, then go to dim for 30 seconds, then turn off. But once in a while they would stay on the dim setting indefinitely. If I didn't notice they would sit there like that until the battery got down to 2 volts or less. They just killed too many batteries.

    I never noticed that happening with mine, it probably did but the mod was never out of my hands long enough. ;) I always shut off when not in use too.

    Dropped one of my iJoy 20700's tonight on the shop floor, now there is a substantial 45° chamfer on part of the bottom edge... :cry: That battery is going to the recycle people tomorrow, I don't like even having it in the apartment.

    Needed a replacement, so now I have 2 Molicel INR20700As and 2 Samsung 30T 21700s inbound. :thumbs:

    These are pricey cells...
