took my cat to the vet today to get her .... squeezed. Her .... glands were drippy. It was...bad. Anyway the critter is still ...... at me.

When I was in my early twenties I dated this woman who had a cat who could not stand me. He made sure I knew, and remembered that he didn't like me. The scar runs from mid forearm to my thumb. And, that wasn't even the worst part of it, I had to be admitted into the hospital 2 days later. I got out and 3 weeks later was back in with a staph infection. Fun times!

In his defense the doctors thought I might have got the staph infection from being in the ocean. It's a known risk here during the Summer time if you have an open wound.

    So got around to building the dvarw dl clone. Not crazy about the coil I installed, twisted fc, and not happy with the rayon wick but the flavor makes it well worth investing in the authentic and vv mtl clapton wire. First time I've been able to taste the rayon so strongly and I primed the wick like usual; half a tank later and still a strong taste. Thankfully the authentic will be a 6ml straight glass as the bubble looks awful.
    View attachment 812863 the height will take some getting used to.

    Tried to read this post with my eyes shut, but they peeped open :rolleyes:

    I've had a dvarw RTA on my FT wish list ever since I made a wish list there. The teeny wicking ports put me off, but that's fixed by v2. Now I just need to decide between the 2.5mm id MTL version, or 3mm id DL version ;)

    morning all.
    page 2882. i like that number.
    my first box mod was a smok alien. never had any problems with it and PIF somewhere along the line.
    the first real shiny i coveted, and got, is one i won't get rid of.

    sure i've posted it relatively recently but in my opinion it's a lovely thing...and it is shiny.
    great chip and board and fires coils that are too low for many.

    I believe the authentic comes with a polycarbonate tank section and you have to then buy either a glass of ultem replacement as well if you use juices prone to damage plastic. I still can't understsnd why a $100 or more rta should make you pay extra for a glass or Ultem tank when that should be standard. Include the plastic if people are afraid of breaks with glass but I can't understand the current reasoning of reversing the two.

    @Eskie the current situation is you choose the deck and then you choose which tank you want.

    Last months buys included:

    4 Wotofo Profile Unity Mesh RTA's (Gunmetal, Gold, SS & Black). The WPU's are mesh and I love them. So I brought back out of moth balls TC mods bought 1.5+-3 years ago when I ran on a foreign forum that I had stopped using to run them on. I have a lot of RTA's that I also bought back then too. But I didn't like them much, so they have been out of service since soon after bought up to around when I left the forum around 1.5+ years ago. I had avoided RTA's since until these came along (I only vape mesh now days, that was the lure).

    I also bought a supply of Vapefly Firebolt Cotton bolts to use in these RTA's, my 9 Wotofo Profile Mesh RDA's, 9 Dovpo Mesh Pro RDA's and 3 VV Mesh RDA's that I run on mech squonk, mech dual para batt squonk and regulated 21700 squonk mods. Have enough for up to 120 builds, so these ought to hold me long enough.

    Think life time, like the warranty on a Provari.

    Good thing that my V2 was made so well. Still looks like new after 8 years of ocassional use. Lifetime warranty only lasts as long as the owners are there to back it.

    Clones are only 11-15.00, get both.

    That was one of the funniest things I've seen in my vape journey. That warranty made the decision to buy three of them easy.

    Good morning Shiny's
    Woke up to a baby possum climbing on the inside of my screen, not much bigger than the kittens. Unfortunately George saw it right after I did so poor thing bolted. It will probably take days to trap it now.
    why trap it,got plans?

    Good morning shiners!

    You could just mix everything in the syringe, then just shoot it across the room into your favorite bottle.

    When I won an EQ, I got some blackberry 45 mg nic salt. Coughed myself blue on the first draw. I had some other 6 mg blackberry something so decided to mix the strength down to around 12 mg mixed. I did it right in a 10 ml syringe. Left a little room for air for shaking, and the 14G blunt needle was perfect for filling the pods. I'm down to my last 10 ml.

    @Eskie the current situation is you choose the deck and then you choose which tank you want.

    Thanks. When I saw the order page I skimmed it and saw the whole tank at about £90 then underneath the ultem and glass at about £20. I saw it say if you use tank crackers be sure to get the ultem so I just assumed it was in addition. Assembling it the way you describe does make far more sense. Something to think about.

    So it’s the first an I can buy stuff!

    Things I kinda need before I can look at pure toys:

    A liter of unprotonated 100mg/ml nic base
    A couple or 3 liters of VG
    A half liter of PG

    The big variable is the base. The last stuff I got was junk, and almost degraded by the time I got it. I’m throwing half of it away.
    The question is what’s good reliable and cheap? I’ll probably cut it into 250ml bottles and freeze em, and get the PG and VG from the same place for simplicity. I don’t normally use PG at all, but it occurs to me having a bit of it around could be useful.

    So any ideas on a good place to go for clean nic?


    My last batch I got from ECX and it’s really good. I’ve used them before, although I’ve bought elsewhere when there was a good sale. And they don’t have salts, so I’m still looking for that.

    This was very clear, no smell. What I’m mixing with right now is from them and I’ve been using this bottle over a year, in and out of the freezer, seems almost the same as the day I got it but smells a little peppery.

    I don’t get my pg and vg from them though, I’ve gotten that from Amazon or Bulk Apothecary.

    I forgot it was a fresh month! Most of the shiny stuff I got last month I’d bought in March and it took that long to arrive.

    In April I got that 3rd Luna, some nic, two Bunkers. I don’t expect to buy much in the way of vaping this month, because I blew most of my budget on summer clothes and a pair of sandals.

    That’s interesting because my last couple of orders their delivery of ground only items has taken almost 2 weeks for it to arrive to me in Boston.

    Is this new - the warehouse in NC?
    Had to go check this out because I thought I had heard it before but sadly I am wrong. No warehouse in N.C.
