Eight years in, I still have to point out to my wife that she's vaping on an empty tank and that's gonna be a problem...
This is what happens when a perfectionist marries an ADHD gal.
Gotta love 'em!

All you gotta do is hold the thing up to the light to be sure you have enough juice! I'm not complaining though, I'm just thrilled he FINALLY switched to vaping. My not nagging him, but gently reminding him that we need to be healthy for our young son and to keep trying at vaping, finally worked. He quietly made the switch around last Thanksgiving. He was dual using and then I noticed that he was only vaping. YIPEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoops, I meant to tag @TheProphet in that Cloud Chemist sale post ^^

Also, I need a Memorial Day sheepdoggo sale.

Have you had their Cereal Science as well? Is it pretty authentic to crunchberries? Wife's friend's husband is looking for a spot on crunch berry.

Vape Mail!!! Surprises too!!!!!

Does anyone want to buy a GV Ammit? I somehow managed to buy 3 when I only wanted 1. I already own one ss one!

I need a life manager or something or other !

So now I have a total of 4 Ammits.
But on a happier note, I received the GV Solo and a few drip tips. All of which I did want to purchase.

Each Ammit came with a tin of Coil Master coils and some type of cotton. At least I think they came with the RTAs. I don’t see them listed separately on the invoice or charges for them. It lists them at $16 on the same line as the Ammits.

I did order the Aegis Solo and 3 drip tips. So there is that.

The husband of one of my wife's coworkers vapes as I found out when we were invited over to their place yesterday for a BBQ. He mentioned he absolutely loved a Caramel Butter Pecan liquid a friend used to make but he can't get it anymore. Was thinking about throwing together a batch for him to see what he thinks, but I wanted to throw my own spin on it.

Was thinking Butter Pecan (CAP) and Caramel (FA). Also wanted to add a slight creaminess but I don't have an ice cream flavor so I was debating between vanilla custard (CAP) or Buttercream (CAP). For my own twist I'm thinking a splash of Kentucky Bourbon (TPA) and MAYBE Banana (CAP).

I think I'm just worried about overdoing it since I'm so new to mixing and definitely don't want to drown out the core Caramel Butter Pecan flavor I wanted to mix.

Do you have FLV Cream? Thinking it would go very nicely + add some full mouthfeel to the party. Just a thought. Good luck!

I don't, but I do have CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream.

It's closer to Berry Kix, IMO. It's his original flavor, so it has a pretty big following. I'd say it's pretty accurate for Berry Kix and it does have his excellent cereal base. It's lower on my list of favorites from the line only because I love that Frosty Science and Alchemist so much but it's still damn good.

Vape mail woo.

Got my new custom fire engine red Vindicator 21 with the new constant contact switch. Photos don't do it justice. This thing is gorgeous.

A very red Kubi pod system arrived this afternoon -- it came with a lanyard/holster (shown), a usb cable, and an extra pod:

The specs say it has a 3.5v output, and the pods are 1.8ohm, so I figured I'd better load it up with some 18mg for adequate throat hit (which is what I use in my minifit, which is 3.4v/1.6ohm). As it turns out, it vapes quite well and 16mg might have been sufficient.

It is a cylindrical device (a nice change from the many flatter, oddly shaped pod systems out there), has a 500mah battery, is draw activated, and the pods are refillable. Unfortunately, while it can be held in the mouth/teeth for hands free operation, the bluntly tapered mouthpiece is not ideal for this purpose. The finish is nice, with a soft, rubberized feel --- I have my doubts it will last long though.

Here's a size comparison with a Nexus and a Minifit:

Damn. I just ordered an Ammit yesterday.

Good morning Shinys!!! So much to buy, but so little time!

I tried using MAP as the code on FT but I doesn’t work. Is CHERISH the code? They’re waiting for me to send them the correct one before fulfilling my order.
Kudos to Fasttech!

I think MAP only works for rebuildables and mods. Cherish should work being the 20% off code.

Can't wait to get my juice, got an email saying the order was on the way.

 

[jim_87]

@Tralfaz did you figure out who sent the mystery package yet?

 

[Skunk!]

So glad I wasn’t the only one with this problem. I tried the freezer- no go. I soaked it hot water- no go. Finally, I wrapped electrical tape around the deck and then on the tank(mines plastic) and used an eagle claw & pliers to finally to get it unscrewed.

What a pita though.

Thanks for the help. I'll mess with it a bit later. Can't believe how well it's stuck on there.The fill cap is what got stuck on mine. If I can't get it at least I can get to the coil and wick. Removing the tank to fill takes me back to the not so good old days lol.

Interesting. Asmodus, and Vapor Range both are in Paramount, CA.

Nope. It was accepted by USPS today but no delivery date, yet. The mystery continues...
