Love the colossal with the Zeus, but I topped it with the mesh pro yesterday (a bit of overhang, but oh well) for a side by side comparison. Impressive flavor, very much like the vaporesso nrg. NRG seems more durable though. Still, not sorry I bought the mesh pro.

Went for my eye exam yesterday, new glasses coming in a week or two. All out of pocket so I need to contain my shinyitis for a while.
Do you use glasses just for reading or far sightedness too? Glasses here cost a fortune, specially multifocal ones, and since I'm wearing contact lenses. I've never felt better not to carry glasses with me all the time!

You'd be mad too if they used your hair for wicking :D

Saw a car today I've never seen before: the Nissan Quashqai. Rofl. Nearly peed myself. First you quash and then you qai?
They don't have a lucky hand at choosing car names, I think it was Nissan as well with the "Pajero" back in the day and wondering why spanish speaking countries wouldn't buy it...
Specially true in Argentina where it's a VERY heavy word... We'd laugh that they had named a car that way.

It was Mitsubishi though, not Nissan that came up with that genius name. Don't think they sold a single one in Argentina :lol:

I STILL haven’t built the Zeus I bought 2 months ago!! Maybe this weekend.

I think glasses costing too much is universal. I use cheaters for reading (didn’t really make friends with bifocal contacts), but need glasses to drive at night (why, hello middle age :().

I’m far sighted, and wear bifocals. And developing cataracts. So, my prescriptions are unlined with prisms, and I need both regular all day glasses and sunglasses. I tried transitions, but they don’t work for me. Exam and all, cost me over $1100. I think that’s kind of pricey, but the optometrist is good. Better to pay a little more than go to the chains and not get as good service and quality.

I refuse to learn to use bifocal contact lenses and I can't imagine how they cost.

Phone call from the kid upon awaking. Questions dealt with: 1) Am I a bad person? 2) Why do I do dumb stuff 3) I feel so terrible, I am so stupid!! (That one was more declarative, I guess. 4) I knew it was wrong, why did I do it anyway? 5) Etc. etc.

I patiently coaxed him along, and although there was a part of me that wanted to say, "Look, the answer to all your questions is clearly bad parenting, you are not at fault!!" (LOL, mainly because I thought it would make him shut up, not because I actually believe it). But it would have been less tiring compared to a moralistic yet optimistic discourse I had to endure, although parts of it were funny.

The good thing is like, he found his truck keys in the midst of being returned to sanity so he doesn't have to like, search on foot or whatever. I forgot to point out that he probably shouldn't drive it BACK (also illegal) but man you can only parent SO MUCH, wait no, F that, I better text hi encouragingly and mention that, he's dumb enough at the moment to Do. It.

Not to be "that guy", but I fail to see the logic in buying a styled version of an already low cost authentic. The low cost authentics are great for the community and allow more people to pick up quality vape gear.

Like the Drop Solo above, why by a $8 poorly made know off when the authentic can be had for $26?
Digiflavor DROP SOLO RDA

Not trying to be a dick, just curious. ;)

I bought some knock offs a couple years ago, mainly because the originals were in the $60-100 range. I wasn't sure about shelling out so much on a device I didn't know I would enjoy using. The quality of clones back then wasn't as good as it is now and I ended up tossing them and buying the authentic versions. In retrospect, I'm not sure if that money was well spent on the clones. It's personal preference, though. Buying multiple authentic devices really adds up and not everyone has the budget for that.

    Morning shinies :)

    Built the fumytech gotank this morning. Really easy deck to build on. I love how it's as top fill - but I just found it too restricted compared to the sjmy doggy.

    It's a 1.8mm diameter, sjmy is 2.3mm and sxk doggy is 1.6mm

    For those who love the sxk doggystyle and want a top fill tank - @stols001 - you will LOVE the gotank

    Here's some pics of the deck etc: (28ga ss316L 6 wraps 2.5mm)

    Okay, LOL, kid located car as the cops were in process of towing it away, thankfully he did not incriminate himself, plus this is not Tucson where they would've arrested him and devoted 20 hours to interrogating him as to "what he did wrong." (LOL, I will admit I feel a bit like Tucson police only it was 20 hours of "What have you learned,") and my poor mommy who is on retreat is gonna come home to an impounded car.

    Part of me wants to go, "Heh hehe!!! I TOLD you he was like this and needed consequences, so I feel BAD for you but only SO bad because kiddo only moved in with you because he had worn out his welcome here! So, suck it!" (My mom has consistently maintained that my kid is angelic and like, just "learning" about life, while I've at times beaten my head against a rock demanding she consequent him, and failing.)

    Part of me just feels really bad for her, and etc. I also feel bad for the kid, every time I tried to get him to chill or figure out what he could DO to calm down well, like, he would start freaking about concerning his terribleness. I finally said, "Look, regardless, the car is safe for now and you have your first FULL time WORK WEEK on Monday, you need to sit down and chill with your dog, and eat something, it would be STUPID to keep on with this, and then lose your very first job so do that, realize you aren't a hateful person trying to get "better' you are a kid with some blind spots trying to lean to navigate. So DO IT and call me in an HOUR." Click.

    Mainly though, glad I'm not being presented with the hypothetical of saving my kid's dog or some stranger because I might pick the dog, wait NO I wouldn't but I AM glad he has his dog around today.

    Aww, mainly I feel bad for everyone although I am glad the car is "safe."
