Is it wrong of me to be sitting in my car outside the mail room? The leasing office is closed and my .... hasn’t been delivered yet!

LOL Sickbxy vapes "casual" and then "high end." Hehe I guess my dicodes counts me in maybe.

I for sure earned it today. Another day, another total crisis management situation.

At least I have an extra 10 days to go in and avoid math. I finally went to HR to get the life insurance buy up paperwork (due Friday) and was actually able to voice my displeasure to someone SMART. I was like, "Look I don't MIND getting open enrollment notices, and then MYSELF asking because like, I was somehow FEARFUL, then being told that despite being told in orientation I could not enroll until my 60 days and benefits seminar, like, I was told (AND ONLY BECAUSE I ASKED) that I had to do it "now" and that I had to "figure out the program myself, that is not what is in the class. Only to run in to my friendly pal who was like, "THEY TOTALLY went over the enrollment program. Do you want me to help?" when she was all like, figure it out and if you don't too bad, no benefits for you." (Head HR lady).

So, he showed me, I have done most of my benefits, and they were all "empathetic" and I was like, I don't need your empathy I need you to LEARN from your mjistake and a) make sure that the other 19 people in my class were smart enough to ASK HR lady (I am benefit scary) because I bet not all of them are enrolled. I am. But if I had not asked, well, I would have been SOL. SO you should make sure they are NOT."

And they were like, "Oh yes, missing out on benefits for a year would suck."

And I was like, "It would suck, because I consider them the other half of my paycheck. So, it would have been a LAWSUIT.

All of a sudden, I have 10 more days to do it, and I am enrolled in a benefits class. LOL. I am almost done but I might go so I can have my time scheduled out, and do notes on the sly and do my math then.

I love being right, so there's that. I hate incompetency, so there's THAT. But REALLY now HR that is your entire JOB.

So also everyone is being all lovey dovey at me and it's nice to like my coworkers. All the docs are telling their supervisors I have to stay at Sierra Vista. I'm more or less okay with that, as long as my supervisor is. Can't get too competent too fast, etc.

Fortunately I think I have some diagnostic stuff to like, work out. Apparently. Per my supervisor. LOL.

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.
Valerian Root has the same effect on cats. I have a bottle by my bed and take it almost every night. My cat never misses the experience and sits and waits for the ritual of me opening the bottle so she can try to stick her head in the bottle and even bites at the bottle. She goes crazy. She does not like catnip though. I should say she is indifferent to it. My boy cat loves it.

Love the Juggerknot clone too, although it’s a little weird to assemble and I’m on the fence about that side fill. It’ll either grow on me or become a real frustration. But I will say this, the flavor is enormous
I have two from FT on the way. Christmas gift to my daughter (I will have to build it) looking forward to them

I kinda dig that rda.it's called a Yup?
From eightvape. BF sale came with a couple bonus surprises. I got that (it does have a squonk pin) and some disposable usb type unit. Reviews said it could be built dual or single. Not much of a juice well

Don’t get me wrong, I think his, and many more, online persona can be annoying as hell. But like I said I am not watching them for their theatrical performance. If an RDA, as example, comes from the manufacture looking like it was a dog’s chew toy, I would like to know about it. I take value in knowing this information and he is one of few that does point this out…..in a dramatic annoying way.
He just recently put up a topside review.
He obviously didnt watch tvc's intro video because several things he said made me want to choke him lol.
His biggest complaint was no puff counter, I mean really. And said the magnet to hold the cap under the mod is stupid, it's to keep it from flying off when you unscrew it. Anyway I digress.
Short version is he annoys me too.
I watch the vape team and their individual youtubes and get most of the info I need.

I trust Mike Vapes for casual vaper level stuff, then I have a list of four high end reviewers.

Yes, Mike is one of the less dramatic reviewers but I feel he can also be little biased. For many, reviewing on YT is their main income (or part of their income) so pointing out the extreme negatives with a product is not in their best interest. Jai, on the other hand, approaches the products with a different take and calls it like it is. Case in point the Vandy Vape Phobia RDA (this just stuck out in my mind). It didn’t receive glowing reviews but many of the reviewers did not address the main flaw with this RDA in that anything more than a single drop of juice, it will leak. Jai was one of a few that pointed this out. He also took it outside and beat the **** out of it which I will admit was unnecessary.

If I am interested in a product, I try to watch as many reviews on said product as possible. I don’t pick and choose a favorite reviewer and make a purchase based strictly on their review. The more info I gain, then the more likely I will make a smart purchasing decision. I can look passed a reviewers online personality providing they offer content that I feel is of value – and pointing out flaws or poor designs, even in a childish dramatic way, I take with great value. This just doesn’t apply to vaping products, but any product I maybe interested in. This also doesn’t guarantee I will always purchase something that works for me, but it does mitigate that risk.
 

Skunk!

Cool little freebie. If the seals are good it should be fine for dripping. I don't fill the wells on RDAs personally. I usually just saturate the wicks. Probably would be best for squonking. With how the ears are slanted It would probably work well for single coils. You could center the coil pretty easily.

For the record I am not trying to promote Jai Haze. We have to look at a review and find a value within it. A puff counter may not be of value to you but to someone else this could be of great value. That individual would like to know if there is a puff counter or not. Yes, Jai is a complete d*ck online…no argument from me there. But he offers what other reviewers do not. Some of those offerings I take with value.

The most complete review said it was best for squonking, the decks are angled a little more and a little roomier than the dead rabbit( easier to clip legs). I want to build the ammit mtl rda first though

It's his holier than thou arrogance that I can't stand, not to mention that he's not funny but thinks he is. In one of his more recent reviews he was bragging that a Chinese company has to pay him 20k just to talk to him about a product idea, he kept repeating, just to talk, nothing else, get over yourself dude. Even if true, I really don't care. Either way, he's in my very small group of reviewers I'll watch before buying something, I jump to the table unboxing to avoid his ramblings 99% of the time.

But it was his arrogant attitude that made him popular. Without it he would not generate the hit count he has, therefore his videos would not be at the top of our search results. Rip Tripper is no different. His giddy immature personality is what made him the most popular vape reviewer out there. We can criticize that, but we can't deny that he offers one of the best video production and lighting out of all of them. You want to see the intricate details of a product up close….cue up a Tripper video. It’s taking advantage of what these reviewers have to offer.
