I agree and, yes, I am.

You're hooked now, before long you will have several in your daily rotation. It can be done on a budget. Buy one dream setup that may be pricier and a couple of budget backups when you can.

Yes, yes I am completely hooked! I have a kangertech kbox 60w coming, with 4 coils one is an rba. This is actually because my brother loves me and he doesn't use it any more. I needed a reliable mod with a tank that doesn't burn every coil I put in it! I am excited and nervous about the rba!

Good for you. I've absolutely worn out a few flavors. It got to the point where there were still great, but I just couldn't vape any more of "it." "It" being any one of about six different flavors that made go tank after tank after tank of them.

Yes. I started out loving ruthless slurricane and finally reached a point to where I love it and will reccomend it, I seldom vape it any more! Currently I am stuck on Vanilla Custard Tobacco by RipeVapes.

Maybe you will and maybe you won't. We come in all varieties. I love mixing and playing with flavor combinations - esp. the challenge of creating a better version of someone's favorite commercial juice. I appreciate the aromas. I love the complexities of a flavor - inhale and exhale. All of that said, I do it for others. When I try something that is very appealing, after less than a tank, I am back to my favorite, loving it more.

I am already playing with flavor combinations using all the retail juice I have. This I love doing and so far haven't mixed anything I don't like. I can't wait to actually create my own unique flavors though.

I like Matt Damon too. Anna saw "Downsizing." Stinker I think on that one. I also loved "The Martian" but thought the book was better. I am a selective Stephen King reader. He is a brilliant author. Books like "Pet Cemetery" and "Cujo" he says he wrote in a blackout and I believe him.

I read all of the GOT books and am the point I don't care if Martin ever finishes the books. HBO is wrapping up the story the way he wanted it wrapped up and doing a fine job. The books are, IMO, bloated. I like the more streamlined story in the HBO series. They left out a lot and changed some things - all for the better. It is rare for me to prefer a movie or TV series to the book or books, but in this case, I do.

I'm an avid reader too (Kindle) and totally agree with you about GoT. It has been sooo long since Martin's last book that I've forgotten where it left off. He really is too wordy. I may still read it "IF and WHEN" it finally comes out. Of course I'll probably be close to 100 years by then.

Also agree about the HBO's series and I like the direction that it's going... except the "ice dragon". I hated when that happened.

Not many screen adapted versions of books are better but this one definitely is.

Whelp, I got my Kayfun Prime clone up an running. It's a cute little tank, I must say. Got a 1.1 coil in there and rayon. I can't speak much to flavor yet because my rayon is still breaking in... But it's not leaking!

LOL, that normally would be cause for delight and surprise, but since rayon, I no longer expect my RTAs to leak at all. Right now it is sitting on my steampunk and I may give TC a shot in a bit.

Anna

Just curious. What build (wire gauge and # of wraps) do you use for TC on your MTL setup? I'm wanting to try TC out in my Berserker Mini but still just new to dealing with SS. I have the TC working well with my Zeus but there's plenty of room for about any coil on that deck

 

[stols001]

Well, you CAN use a contact coil for TC although my understanding is it doesn't work as well. I actually used 28 gauge SS and about 6 wraps, spaced, 2.5 mm, came out to about 0.8. But really, if you want to use TC, you can go down in diameter and or wraps if you so desire, with TC the resistance is less important. 2.5 was a little hard to do but it did work...

My friend does audio books. They put me to sleep. Due to my oh so old eyes I finally started reading on the computer. Hard to get used to, miss the actual book.

I'm a kindle reader. Got tired of having to find new homes for the many LARGE traditional books I have/had.

that's good to know. many thanks

My friend gave me a kindle, but I prefer to use the laptop. I don't like holding the kindle.

I swear every time I read about him making an appearance at a comic convention or showing up in Mexico for a Tequila launch party I just want to scream "take your old ... back to New Mexico and finish these books!" It's not like he's getting any younger. Pretty sure when he goes to the store he's not buying green bananas

I started with the kindle keyboard and just recently got the kindle fire. Both have cases that can stand-a-lone but really both are like holding a paper book and in some cases, not as heavy.

I've read that he is starting a new book. I believe he has given up on the GoT series. Maybe he can't top the HBO series and he knows it.

Many mods have a low resistance upper limit in TC mode. The Smoant chips are limited to 1.3 Ohms. Joyetech/Eleaf/Wismec chips have a 1.5 Ohm limit. Those are the only ones I have that are TC capable.

Most folks won't have a problem with that but anyone used to 1.8 Ohm and higher builds will.

I could not agree more on the "ice dragon." Maybe they thought we wouldn't mind so much since it was Viserion. I have a feeling that the ice dragon was Martin's idea all along. Old Nan alludes to mythical ice dragons in stories she told Jon growing up. There’s also a constellation called the Ice Dragon, complete with a rider with a blue star for an eye that always points north. The World of Ice and Fire, the companion encyclopedia George R.R. Martin wrote to further detail his fantasy world, describes unverified reports of ice dragons over the Shivering Sea north of the wall. Sailors claim they are bigger than regular dragons, translucent, and breathe cold that “can freeze a man solid in half a heartbeat.” Still, not a fan personally.

Probably. He went ahead and told them how he planned to end everything in the books and said "Now pay me". Every time I read an interview with him and he talks about how much of an honor it is to be considered the "Tolkien of America" all I can think is TOLKIEN FINISHED THE LORD OF THE RINGS. George really bothers me

So, Purge.....I dunno.
Oddly the order that had me ...... at FT arrived today, 3 1/2 months late.

I would be lost without my Kindle. Lifelong book lover, but they were taking over the house. I love my Kindle Paperwhite. I could never read on the laptop @Letitia. My daughter has a Kindle but reads on her phone. Whatever works as long as we read.
