Been rebuilding today, trying to find suitable dual coil builds for a single 18650 @ ~>=0.20 (for my CSMNT purple cap with purple plug).

Think I finally found one. Tried spaced vs non spaced and I think non spaced is working a bit better considering the low power output.

Also been playing around with low vs high resistance (~0.18 vs ~0.38) builds in single coil to figure out what I want to do when I get my EVM.

Was also sad to see I damaged my top cap ultem insert in my Goon 25 with my 175W shenanigans. Good thing I have an extra rda.

Haven't rebuilt in a while. Used to do it every day. It was pretty therapeutic.

Question for you cord cutter people. HBO has something I want to watch on Sunday. I do not have HBO. I can get a trial version for 7 days and 14.00 after that, cancel anytime. It says it is for streaming. Would I watch this the same way I watch Netflix? Says it can be streamed anywhere once I have an account. I guess I am not sure what streaming is. Can I watch it on my TV? I do have a smart TV and it has a built in thing to select Netflix or Hulu but I do not see HBO in the selection.

@stols001 as in laminate floor? The boxes are sort of heavy, but it’s not too hard a job. My husband and I did our whole upstairs when we found some on sale. 3 bedrooms and the hall. The closets were kind of a drag, and one of the doorways gave us hell.

Nope, large laminate countertop. It's not so much heavy as wieldy. I have practiced, now it is going to be coated in glue. Once it hits the glue, there is no going back. LOL.

I certainly hope it works. Also, you can build with a lot of things. I build with a fine motor tremor and there are times it is super not fun and it probably takes me 5 times longer than most folks.... But if you have a chronic condition, you should fight it. It's better.

At least in SOME arenas. I was replacing one of those gigantic water thingies and I dropped it.

That is a TON of water when it spreads out! LOL so embarrassing. One of the medical assistants came to my aid and very expertly replaced it. Then, they got me a mop. I am not so great at mopping either, I always make the husband do that, too. LOL. The medical assistants came to my aid on that too, probably thinking 'En Espanol" La mujer es un idiota." Or whatever.

I am never changing one of those again! It was super embarrassing! LOL.

We have Crave (includes HBO), Netflix, and Prime Video.

We download the app on our phone or browse on a computer and stream it to our TV using Chromecast.

We have a chromecast on each TV. We just play a video on app or on computer and hit the chromecast button and select which one.

In your case i'm assuming it's running some version of Android. You would need to download the HBO app from Google Play.

I hope Rudy feels better. I’m doing the same with Monkey. The rain messes with the arthritis in his hips. He’s laid out on the cold tile watching me wash and rewick (which based on a couple was loooooong overdue... as in legit dirty coil shaming hall of fame :oops:). I could have sworn I redid them all, but obviously I missed a couple!!! At least I’ll have tasty juice to enjoy for the mardi gras break.
Jaja, I had Carnaval on my mind. Here's a 4 day holiday and we were planning on taking the teardrop caravan up north (just 3 hour drive) and staying for a night. It's great fun, I hope I can take my husband to New Orleans some day. It's different from ours, as is the Brazilian carnaval from all the others!

That was my answer. I think my nails are too long. I’m going to saw them back and try again later. I even tried wrap and trap. Three different tanks, so I know it’s me. It’s just frustrating when something so simple turns into a hot mess
I can't do anything with long nails, specially cooking and typing. Soon my fingers hurt. Just 2 to 3 mm above nail bed.

@Old Greybeard - I’m sure you are aware of those spool tamers than can but used to mitigate wire unwinding it’s self. Another solution is a Velcro strip.. You can punch a small hole and feed the wire through.

I have no shiny’s to report. :(. My Five Pawns Castle Long did arrive yesterday. What a unique flavour. Might be an acquired taste for some but its description is spot on for a complex e-juice. It’s price however, at least here in Canada, does make it a difficult buy. However, I have no regrets making the purchase and I have something to go on should I entertain a DIY attempt. Found a few recipes. I do think this will be an excellent pairing with a nice scotch or bourbon (looks in liquor cabinet!!:D)
I absolutely love Castle Long & Black Flag Risen, it was a scandalous price for juice when I was buying. Is 5 Pawns actually still around? I thought they died out in the big Diacetyl hoo hah of a few years back...:lol:

Some years ago I bought a preloved Mac Mini (a i5 quad core), swapped discs for HDD and now has a home below our tv. To us is the best solution, specially when we're looking at something and both of us need to watch. It's a little slow, but I find it better than Chromecast.

I wanted to do exactly the same with a Mac Mini for our living room TV. Even found a place selling old ones for $100.

Just haven't gotten around to it.

I find Chromecast works extremely well. But there's some apps that don't have Chromecast support so I can't stream from my phone and video quality is sometimes dependent on signal quality. In the Bedroom we sometimes have issues with the stream quality going up or down in mid video.

But a chromecast, for 40 CAD, is a pretty easy solution to in home streaming.

Yeah, that can be hard on a bum shoulder, too. I will ponder a while before I proceed.
What about an inmersion blender? With a SS shaft? It's an overkill for me, but there are some underpowered ones that will do a lovely job in seconds.

They are referring to the HBO GO app. So you can watch it on anything that will run the app.

this is my system too. It is not working for me either. I have been vowing to find a new system for a long time and still I procrastinate and let everything go way too long.
I hate wasting eliquid. More or less I rewick one every sunday. The problem is to remember which one I rewicked last and how long has it been since last rewicking.

I'm waiting on those days to catch up with the PS4. Bought games for Christmas that I haven't opened yet, the weather being too lovely to stay in.
What games?
Grinding through AC Odyssey and God of War here waiting for Division 2 & SEKIRO to drop.

Fallout 76 was a complete waste of money, that is the last dime Bethesda ever gets from me.

Too bad that Prime Video won't cast. I'm stuck watching the Grand Tour on the computer as the casting it gets out of sync...

Im so sorry to hear that Zazie :( I never know when I wake up how much I’ll be able to do or how bad the pain will be. Sometimes I can go for days sometimes weeks where it’s well “controlled” then out of the blue all hell breaks lose. That’s why I like to build as much as I can when I can then I can just rewick as needed.

My vision isnt great either(mostly age related) but when 1 first started building someone was kind enough to recommend those magnifying glasses that have LED light on the front. It can really make an incredible difference in my frustration levels lol!!!l

This looks like the one I got. My roommate laughs at me and calls me the coal miners daughter lol!! But it works!!View attachment 801013
Have one of those myself. Diabetes makes your sight fluctuate, so when I'm high I have eagle eyesight, and when I'm too low I have to pile up glasses like my granny used to do!!!

Crash Bandicoot and Shantae for me, Oscar is more on shooters (I have to check what he's playing, we mostly buy online). I'm using a little more the Switch these days, love portable consoles better. More a Nintendo person.
