Sadly one of the screws holding the button assembly is stripped. Need to go to my dad's this weekend to mill it out. Otherwise the front side is more or less complete. Waiting on a black boro tank.

Sadly no... dual use with my plug yesterday. Dual use with my hexohm day before yesterday and today. Probably using it ~50% of the time. So i'm probably at 2700 puffs over the 2 and a half days.

I need to get some of that stuff you blow bubbles with. That's a hoot with the animals.

I gave my cat Gracie catnip flavored Bubbles for Christmas last year. She just sat there with a catitude look on her face. Not impressed. At all.

Good morning shiners! I've only got the duplicate Recurve arriving today. First time I'm not thrilled with vape mail as I'll have to turn around and go to the post office to send it back.

I have to watch that Drone video this morning. I'm starting to toy with other mod ideas, but the Drone is still the most cost effective option for dual battery DNA squonking. However, I'm finding the battery life on a 40T so nice even at 50W that maybe a single 21700 75C might be another option. It will have Replay and preheat can still hit 100W, which is something I don't even need. Even with my dual coil 0.13 ohm triple fused Clapton I'm only vaping at 50W in power mode on the Topside, so needing dual 18650s might not be as big a deal as it used to be.

Jai haze drone review is up. Watching to see if he says anything about the door




And I’m with you. In a post profile world I’m like why did I even need a dual battery dna250c squonker.

Morning Shinies,

Good to see all the deliveries turning up.

Suffering a bit of an vaping existential crisis today as I look at my collection of standard mods and RTA's. Once you have been seduced by the smoothness and flavour from a 3mm macro coil on a 22mm dripper, you realise you are in the same territory as the difference between a freshly baked loaf of bread, a lump of decent cheese and a McDonalds. Both satisfy hunger, but the bread and cheese, like the Mustang, Apple pie or Jim Beam, will always be a classic.

I can't remember who said here that it will be a long time before we will get the same flavour from an RTA as the smaller drippers, but I get it now. It is not that you can't achieve the same flavour from an RTA as a dripper, it is just that you can't get the same flavour consistently.

I look back to about 2 weeks after I purchased my first mod and the Cleito 120 and being astounded by the flavour of some commercial juice I tried. It blew me away. No matter how hard I tried, and the different permutations of airflow, temperature or technique, could I recreate that experience regularly. Sure, it was OK, and some experiments really shone through (like twisted wire coils), but depending on the time of day, temperature, what I'd eaten or drunk, mood - these variables all had an effect and changed the flavour experience. I was beginning to think it was just me, and I was not sufficiently disciplined.

The Wasp though, was fundimental in helping me discover what was going on. I'd dripped using the Nautilus previously, but it was a bit clanky and messy. Flavour was, again, a real eye opener. It fell down at the practical hurdle, and so I carried on with RTA's, and splashed out on a few. While good, to date they haven't totally scratched where I itched. What the Wasp did was draw a consistent baseline. Or to put it another way, I didn't know what I was looking for, but I would know what it was when I found it. Like the alchemist or the magician, once found, to the untrained eye, the skill would appear to the uninitiated, almost as witchcraft.

I get it now. And the whole shinyitis thing. We are sojourners on not only the path of experience, but also self discovery. I realise my next goal is to develop my own style, to find a way of tuning and taming those RTA's to squeeze every last ounce of flavour out of them. But to also listen to my inner "vape voice", and not accept anything but perfection.

Vaping is truly evolution in action. Anything else is just second rate.

The Halady clone is superb BTW, not as "moist" as the Wasp, but a bit crisper and slightly better defined.

I bought some catnip treats recently, and I'm still to work out what the deal is with cats and catnip. Some go completely mental over it, some are confused, some just ignore it.

Pearl will do anything for it. Rico, on the other hand, goes crazy, bashing my hand with his head, purring, but can't seem to join the dots between the treats and the aroma. I've literally got to feed them to him - then he gets it. OTOH, he will eat ham, cheese, anything out the palm of my hand.

Weird.
