Yikes! As much as I vouch for Asmodus products, two of my Minikens are on the fritz. The raw has the sticking fire button (probably my fault and dripped juice down in it) and my pink one has a rattling door causing my batteries to come loose every couple of minutes. Had to pull out my Lustro and one of my Lost Vapes. Like usual I have not learned how to work the Para properly and hate to try to read manuals. Why am I always stuck in the mode of 'must hit fire button four times to fire it"

Food here is almost always the same: roasted meat. Yeah, it's the favorite dish, and almost every house is making asado today since it's sunday!
Come think of it, we don't cook much. We love picada, a variety of cheese and ham, turkey and other stuff before the main course.
How's your spanish? I have to dig and see if I can find some english vids about argentine food.

Between Argentine beef and Malbec, I'd move there in a minute if I could learn Spanish. My daughter is fluent, but I have an absolute tin ear when it comes to languages. I guess I could just let her do all the ordering for me.

And good morning shiners! A sunny cool day here with the Marathon set to start this morning. Needless to say I'm not running this year. On the downside, I got a text from my card company asking if I was trying to send money to Cuba. :confused:

Now I'm waiting to pick up a replacement card. I have to update all my autopay accounts which is a pain in the .....

Why not a Pico Squeeze? Limited to 50 W, with a NarDa on top your wife should be happiest! Works like a charm and it's very very tiny.
Oops forgot about that one. Pico Squeeze would probably be good for @Philabos
She is using one of my Pulse BFs at the moment.

Afternoon all,

It has dried out somewhat after yesterday, poor pooch is still recovering from firework shock and won't leave my side. Not quite as cute as playful kittens, but sweet nonetheless.

The only Dulce I have come across so far is the stuff I throw in my ejuice, and funnily enough, have now run out of due to extensive consumption. I understand you can make something similar (to eat) with condensed milk and a pressure cooker, but it is always an item I forget to buy when out shopping. Must try harder.

I now have a whole stack of stuff on my "Saved for later" Amazon list. Debating weither to be sensible and order some battery wraps, insulators, isopropyl alcohol and a heat gun etc. Or be reckless and purchase another couple of atty's and maybe an Aegis "just in case". Have pretty much blown my birthday vaping budget now, so anything else will have to be rigourously accounted for. After my mammoth mix session on Friday, realise I will soon have to top up on even more flavours just after placing a big order. Like an awkward, indecisive teenager, I'm at that difficult expensive stage where I don't know what flavours I need or what to buy in bulk. Oh yes, and some more batteries would be a good idea. Some Muji as well if I start experimenting with some new fancy coils. And the scissors in the coiling kit are as blunt as anything. A strong heavy base for coiling atty's on would be useful, those dual o-rings on the Loop are stronger than any professional Mig welds.

Is it actually possible to have vaping as a hobby and not spend money every month? Or even just save some of the money not spent on cigarettes? Have yet to break even since August, and am beginning to wonder if I have just replaced one addiction with another. And a really bad one at that. As a Scotsman, spending money is just not good for the image.

It is going to be a good week for delivery drivers and postman thought, but only if they are paid by the package :).

Yes I really liked the Luxotic and haven't administered last rites yet. ;)

The iSiwtch is a little single cell mosfet board from Big Al's Mods.
1200-2T.jpg

You can get them with or without the tactile switch soldered on the other side.
Has low-battery detection, 3 click on/off, battery voltage display via the on-board LED.
Maximum recommended current is 40A, so it can drive builds down to 0.09Ω with the right battery.

It's has an N-Channel FET so it fires the negative instead of the usual positive connection. This makes mounting it in a metal enclosure a little more difficult as the battery ground cannot touch the case or the 510 connector like in most metal case mods. You either need to insolate the 510 from the case or the battery ground.

Fallout 76 is still in Beta until Nov 14, if you've played any of the Fallout's then this one is going to be a little different. Take place in West Virginia and there are no NPC's in the game, just robots and other players. You can play solo, team up co-op, do some PVP or bounty hunting and a ton of other stuff. I can't wait for the release.




They say Red Dead Redemption II is great as well, it will be my next play after Fallout 76.

Thanks for the info! Hopefully my Luxotic doesn't take a dump anytime soon. I like that little mod a lot. I would probably end up replacing it. They are very cheap now. I am really interested in Red Dead Redemtion also. Christmas shopping starts soon...

My cylon is dying but it's not the screen. I lost a screw up top and it's getting all wobbly. I set it aside for the husband to deal with, and I selected a couple more mods to bring up with me. Almost brought the Hohlm Tech but eh.... Got an Evic Primo or whatever, some Eleaf thing. I just need the mod. I have decided to keep everything in rotation. My one DNA mod (steamtuners) is also sitting there waiting for me to use it, but like, why not try something new.

In a bit here I am going to be doing yoga while budgeting. My suggestion. Since the husband likes to go on... and on.... and on.... I can be standing on my head and like, not interrupting.

I hope it helps. I actually need to know what the budget IS because I usually budget quite well enough if I'm making enough money and paying attention (I came up with the down payments on BOTH of our houses together, as it happens) so I really DO need to make sure he's not doing something incredibly idiotic with the dough. I mean.. he has developed this PTSD paranoia that I'm going to "leave him" or some nonsense, since I am all set up in an apartment etc.

I mean okay I am a catch (LOL aside from my many flaws) so apparently the solution seems to be to give him any/all extra dough that I have, so he doesn't think I'm stockpiling to flee.

He's an idiot I have a ton of money tied up in THIS house, plus I am so done with husbands that if THIS one flees or dies or whatever, that's IT. I'll date you, but live with you nonstop? NO WAY.

So yeah, I better be certain he's not a twit. He gave the kid money and then demanded I repay it, as if it were somehow MY decision, which it wasn't.

Egh.

I like the battery door on the Kodama much better than the regular Minikin. Mine is very picky about what batteries it will hold. Samsungs are too small and fall out. It is my fault I dropped it a few times and it hasn't been the same since. Which is why the Kodama doesn't leave the house. Except on special occasions. I may take it to VapExpo next week. Still deciding... My SL Class has become my EDC. I know it's gonna get beat up eventually taking it everywhere but I love using it more than any other mod I have had. I bought it to use it right? If I ever broke the SL Class I would definitely replace it. I wouldn't replace the Kodama at retail price. I love the looks but it is too expensive.

You do have a few workarounds. Go for a hair dryer instead of a heat gun. Works just as well for rewrapping and is a dual use item to present to the Mrs. And the muji can always be something you thought she needed for her makeup so you're covered there.

If you now have several mods and attys you like in stock, buying the assorted and sundry supply stuff makes more sense. That and batteries. Those are always good to have extras of and spend the extra dollar or two on the good ones rather than trying to cram an extra mod into your budget.

Also the Stabwood Kodama is light and delicate. The SL Class with metal grip is built like a tank.

I highly recommend the Juggerknot mini, I've been extremely impressed!
I looked at the mini but it's capacity was too small for my liking. I run a big single coil in the regular JuggerKnot and get to keep the 6.5ml capacity.

Add the recurve mod to the unregulated list.
Takes up to 21700 batteries and has short protection. The rubberized paint holds up well and has a 8ml bottle (I think). I've had no issues with mine, unless you count seeing a penguin every time you look at it lmao.
We need to make a consolidated list for Philabos. I don't mind the penguin. It looks like a tough little mod.

Damn it looks sexy though.
There is a ton of tiny gear out there and it all looks excellent. I always wanted a Microstick and a Spheroid back in the day but way too much. ;)

The problem now, is I can vape the Limitless Plus dry with a coffee... :lol:
