My packages are finally in my hands and unpacked! Here is the haul, with my Zeus on the Aegis Mini for scale. I got all little bitty sizes of flavours, so I could just try them out without feeling committed. And there's a nic tester, and the VG & PG, a scale, some bottles, and a little beaker (with which I am less than pleased as its markings are sub-optimal, but as I'll be mixing by weight, shouldn't be a big deal.)



More next week! Actual nic! Wires! Other bits and bobs!

I wish my truck was that deep with color.

Do you have the Ford? We just ran to Home Depot, and the truck next to ours was a bright blue F150, not as deep as the blue of the Aegis, but really snazzy!

I have three Aromamizers Supremes V2. I hate two of them and they are the ones with the post-less deck and I love the one with a velocity deck. Not sure if it is just me or what but I really feel like they vape differently. This being the case I had to order a fourth. Velocity deck from 3F. Not $10 but only $28.

I ended up doing the opposite and ordering the post less decks for my Supremes V2s lol! Honestly I couldn’t tell the difference though.

Oh I almost forgot that I bought a single coil deck as well and was able to put some big azz exotic coils in it.

Shiny stuff:

Got vapemail - and it's an absolute beauty. Same size as my colossal (not as gorgeous as the colossal but close)

Meet the Vaporesso luxe nano

I'm really impressed with this mod. Vaporesso: please make me one just like it but with an external 18650 battery

It's awesome in the hand, awesome screen, menu system is touch buttons - like your home keys on the phone and the omni 4.2 chip vapes fast and is awesome in TC mode.

TC mode was a pita to figure out - but after I had written an email to vaporesso asking for help I had one more play (can't let the mod win) and figured it out. You use the left menu button to delve deeper into tc settings. For SS it already had a TCR of 102, so I just lowered the wattage a tad - from 70w to 15w

I have the reg Luxe and I love it but its bit heavy now compared to other single battery mods that I’ve been using.

I would LOVE a single battery Luxe! I’ve loved every Vaporesso product I’ve bought.

Just ordered a Bonza rda. Got the copper and black crinkle version.

Edit: v1.5 Bonza

Did you find a good deal on it? It’s the one RDA that I keep hearing about that I don’t have yet.

 

[Fidola13]

I own several Pico 30w, 40w, and 75W. Recently, I bought another 75W at a good price, but it has a slight protrusion in the wattage adjust rocker switch on the bottom that makes it not sit completely flat on a table. As soon as I find a tiny Torx bit I'm going in to see if i can adjust the protrusion on the rocker switch. I have a large set of assorted hex and Torx bits, but none are tiny enough to fit the Torx screws that secure the bottom cover. The switch makes it rock slightly when you set it down on a table.

That would drive me bonkers. I’m not ocd well maybe just slightly about things lining up and being level

Oh I do like shiny. I've yet to build my coil and use this new RTA and mod but thought I'd take some pics.

 

[Fidola13]

All this RH talk makes me want to dig mine out for a run.

Never mind, that moment of foolishness passed.

I never much liked the vape of that RDA but I have the RH X which was my 1st RDA. I got it on clearance for $10 and haven’t stopped vaping since. Now it’s in the stable with 30 other RDAs. Really flavorful vape.

Delivery/postal people make questionable decisions all the time.

My friend just had a coffee table delivered yesterday ... she's handicapped and by the time she got to the door, the postal delivery guy had left the long, heavy box propped directly against the outside door so she couldn't even open it to yell at him as he jumped in his truck and drove off. Took her about half an hour to work the door open enough to lower the upper end of the box to the ground, push it to the side to open the door all the way, and eventually drag the box inside ... just in time for an exhausted cab ride to her doctor's appointment. Boy, was she .......

Sounds like what happened to me last winter (I’m also disabled) except it was a 60” flat screen tv in a monsoon. The fedex guy just left it leaning up against the house and of course it blew over. The cardboard was soaked and soggy so was a biatch trying to grab. I finally got it in the house but I had a few choice words with fedex cust service.

Any tricks to get the barrel off an rda that seems stuck from the get go? I have a new one that I cannot get off and I don't want to break anything.

Do you have one of those plastic vape tweezers that act as a tank gripper. If not get a couple. Not a day goes by that I don’t use it for something or other

Updated flavor stash...307

Are you concerned that some may get less potent or go “bad”? I worry about the few I have 190.

 

[Fidola13]

I started with 6 flavors, oh so sure that is ALL I would ever need . I’m at @250 now.... I’m pretty sure this is endless. There’s still flavors I probably need.

Omg I totally know what you’re saying. I thought I only needed to buy of each flavor I liked and that was that. HA!!

 

[Fidola13]

Phew.... 45 minutes later I think I’m caught up. God forbid I miss a shiny that I might want to buy too

 

[Heartsdelight]

I put half my flavors in the fridge & big sized back ups in the freezer.

Ok. I keep all my backups in the crisper draws. My freezer is occupied by 5 ltrs of nicotine.

I wasn’t sure if keeping flavor concentrates cool would extend their shelf life or not although I know this has been talked about at some point in the DIY thread.

Yes, I have those. I tried everything including vise grips and I cannot get it off. I am ready to take a hammer to it but will wait for the vendor to see what they say. I hurt my hands trying to pull that cap off so I am a little ticked about it.

 

[Opinionated]

Oh almost forgot my shiny came.
Sorry for the pitiful pic, didnt feel like getting out of the recliner....

Thinking about you and Abby, @AngeNZ. A lot.

This lil fellow has been helping a lot. Come home from work to this welcome sight the last two days:
