So back from being helpful dad. As I hugged my daughter who’s been under the weather she tells me she saw her doctor this morning and tested positive for the flu. I have roughly four to six days of life remaining before feeling like I want to die. This is what I get for helping. Took a handful of pain meds so I’ll probably forget about it for this evening. I’ll draw up a last will for my vape gear before the full effects hit, so put in dibs early if there’d anything special you want if I don’t make it. You all know what I already have so no need to list it.




I’m a big fan of my Flave. Great little performer and I don’t mind the DT. That and the Wick’d are among my new faves. Nothing is as quiet to vape as the FLVR. It really takes top honors in audio stealth.



First it was NoLaMels package that led mine astray at the airport, now it’s yours? What do you all do, get together in PMs and plot how to seduce my little FT filters?

Oh that's horrible!

Did you need my address? haha..

nah I'm just kidding, I hope your feeling better quickly..

btw I meant to ask, did your daughter's show end up turning a slight profit? Or did she just break even on it?

Thanks for that Ange. Yeah got the mail to. Good people them. I've been buying from them from the start and always had a good experience. Unfortunately my vape spending has come to an abrupt halt last weekend. Some lowlife got over my fence and stole some of my best developed bonsais. Now i'm splashing out on infra red detecting lights, cameras, beams and alarms. Costing me a small fortune. I hate thieves

sorry to hear about the theft? Hope you reported it. Maybe the thrived will try to sell them locally. Keep an eye on local Craigslist type sites.

Good morning Shiny's
Finally got around to plugging in the mini freezer this morning. Now I just need to remember to buy a funnel si I can fill the 32 oz growlers for the nic.

@Fredman1 so tragic to hear about the theft. Labor of love lost there.

which freezer did you get? I’m seriously considering buy one since my nic takes up the top two freezer shelves and I just bought another liter with no where to put it.

It would be nice to have the freezer back too.

Many of the flavors your juice contains is originally sourced from China.

Stop you guys....

Visions of melamine baby formula keep popping in my head.

 

[Fidola13]

lol...you're fine. I, on the other hand, am not. I have no clue where 2020 came from, but in about six weeks you'll feel so silly for doubting me.

Good morning shinies

How are you doing Charlie?

 

[Fidola13]

Good morning shinies ...

snow!!!! Please don’t send it this way! I’m scared enough to go outside even in the rain. I’m afraid of falling with my crutches and breaking my other hip. So I’m terrified of the upcoming winter.

 

[DeloresRose]

I took it. It was very detailed. There were questions about when you quit smoking, how long it has been since you had a cig, if you are a dual user, what type of flavors you like, etc. There were a lot of questions about what type of devices you like to use, whether they were pods, refillable tanks, internal or external battery mods. They ask how satisfied you are with your current vape gear. They want to know what you would do if vaping were no longer available -- would you make DIY juice, buy black market juice, go back to smoking or quit. They also ask how far you would be willing to drive to go to a vape store. This was the gist of the survey. I am sure I am forgetting some of it, but this is what I remember.

I know, lots of detail everywhere else. But they obviously are not fearing this towards people with every form of device I have. It asked what type of device you use, and what you started with, but it never allowed to answer ‘I use them all, at least five kinds a day!’ Either this kind, or that kind. Not even a word about squonkers. I had to default to open, VW device - I’m not quoting, btw. I’m not sure why my pg/vg ratio is more important than the variety of my mods and RBAs.

Is something going on and I’m missing it because I’m not watching network tv? I just got buzzed by a bunch of low flying jets.

I don't DIY as I work in a vape store , but I would hope that major commercial juice labs vet their nic sources.

Maybe I should have said I would never order nic from China or juice for that matter.

If that concerns you, many medication's active ingredients, especially for generic meds, are sourced overseas, with China and India being the most common. It's imported and "assembled" in a US/Canada/EU pharmaceutical plant into the final product you get at the pharmacy (depending on your location). Only the high margin biological meds get made by the actual brand name pharmaceutical firm. It's like car parts.

Oh that's horrible!

She ordered in sandwiches for lunch today for us. That was the profit. Could've been worse, I'm relieved she did that. Besides, there may still be some trickle down sales after the show so all in all, a success.

 

[jandrew]

What, no coffee?

My apologies ... there was snow on my chair and I retreated rather than brushing it off and fetching my coffee. So, here's a late afternoon one just for you (since I just brought home some new beans to try out)

Do you have a military base near you? The USAF has been doing training maneuvers here over the Mississippi River this week.

Good afternoon Everyone!!!

Real nice day, sunny and in the 50's. Dog and I went to the park to play frisbee. I managed to get the rest of the leaves raked. Now it's time to kick back and relax.

Lucky you - just several days of raw dreary rain. The dogs need some sunshine as do I!! They promise it’s coming tomorrow. I really hope so!!

 

[Sloth Tonight]

What's this talk of "snow?" What's that?

*looks outside his window*

Oh, right. That stuff

 

[Opinionated]

She ordered in sandwiches for lunch today for us.

Well that's a good profit! Sandwiches are lovely!

For her first go I'd say that's a total success!

 

[Rob B.]

Until the first dry hit... Mesh can be NASTY!

Mesh is not the only thing that gives dry hits. My Gear RTA has given me nasty dry hits multiple time, and that's just kanthal wire coil.

Thanks @Fidola13
I did call them so they know. No need to come out, but they did. Next day another department called and asked if we're in need of victim support (gotta love Yew Zealand).
Yeah we're keeping an eye on the sites. Worst of all is they ripped them out the pots and just left the pots. Those trees are like my children. Some of them I've been caring for since they were seedlings. Its not about the art for me. I just love trees and care for them with a lot of love and passion. Its like losing a pet. My biggest concern is if they're cared for.
Strange...I have loads of other ones, but I keep thinking of them that's somewhere out in the wild world out there...

What kind of low life people take trees out of somebody's back yard? How did they know that they were even there? People and their lack of courtesy, manners, and respect for others just never cease to amaze me.

 

[AngeNZ]

I’m with you on that.... you know how DT picky I am. I have a ton of tabs open. None are that expensive. I may just order a mixed bag and see which ones win when they get here!

That's the best way - and what I've been doing

When they are all so awesome on flavour and the airflow you like, it comes down to little things - how they are to build with your fave wire etc. And then what type of flavour profile they suit. Plus it is fun trying them all out

 

[AngeNZ]

The "fix" for the proprietary drip tip per DJV at FT is to use thicker o-rings on a standard 810 DT. Or on an 810 to 510 adapter. He did that with a couple Flave's and it worked nicely (see his pics).

These are the ones he said to use $2.25 Rubber O-Ring Seals for E-Cigarettes (50-Pack) 50-pack - 9*1.5mm (D*T) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I have some on the way to try out. I also ordered the 24mm Flave RDTA.

I'll be trying those o-rings on my 22mm Flave. The proprietary DT size is the same across all the Flave's at 13.5mm.

AllianceTech used to sell a 510 adapter for their atty's ... too bad they sold out real quickly.

My 22mm Flave is an excellent lil flavor banger and great with a squonker.

Let me know how you get on

 

[AngeNZ]

Thanks for the heads up Ange. I just bought a Recurve for $17.40. That's such a great deal and they're quite hard to get now.

I keep forgetting about you guys over there - but yes, they were already on clearance at $30nz and 40% off that made them frickin rediculously cheap

Thank you. I had to give up coffee a couple of years ago, so I get my fix vicariously through you.
