Just picked up Chunky Monkey from the vet
Xrays were negative for tumors, but he does have fairly advanced spinal deterioration. Waiting on blood work. And, he’s chunkier than normal .... 115 pounds. Poor old boy is going on a diet. Ten pounds will buy him some time before he totally loses control of his hind end. Thank you all for your thinking of him, brought him very good luck!!!

Just been catching up since this morning, and I'm so happy to see this. You must be so damn relieved

Yeah being over weight is very bad for dogs. Luckily they loose weight rapidly.
Interestingly here's a graph i saw yesterday about the newest research study relating to dog/human age comparison.

Have you tried the additive/flavor called Flash? It’s supposed to give th. I have some, just haven’t needed to try it

I’m not looking for more th I’m just surprised I didn’t think about the fact the juice had so much more th than usual.

 

[NolaMel]

No I haven't. Personally I really don't need to but thanks for the info. I'm down to 1.5mg nic as it is. I have plenty of nic in the freezer but I'm trying to get to 0nic.

I haven’t found anyone (in person, not reviews) who’s actually used Flash. When I’ve had to go zero nic, I picked a strong flavor to cover up the lack of th.

Y’all distract me please. I had to leave Monk at the vets. He either had a seizure, and is having spinal problems effecting his back legs. 100 pounds of please don’t leave me here Mom as I left

so, tell me everything you have in your carts for BF. What did I forget to put in my cart?

Praying for Monk, all good wishes & thoughts for a fast recovery & he’ll be home with mom real soon!

I love the original single coil Recurve. It has amazing flavour. The lack of juice well means you're squonking a lot but that's easy to get used to. I'm vaping one right now.

I'm vaping my Recurve a tad differently to you normal ppl

But even with a teeny 510 drip tip on it, it is flavour galore.

I agree completely about the juice well. In fact I turned it upside down looking for the juice well But my solution was just to make huge shoulders in the wick, and I tuck in as much tails as I can:

Excuse my old build

My lab made it to just about the same. Seems pretty usual in larger dogs. my smaller ones generally made it to 14-15 years old.

And as to old dogs, there's this story of what may have been the very first dog 18,000 years ago (maybe, that or a domesticated wolf dog or something) A 'remarkably well preserved' 18,000 year old 'dog' found in Siberia | Daily Mail Online

I'm thinking about getting one just because.

You can still get them at Sourcemore for $26.90 ($2 more for the blue and purple) Ultroner x asMODus Luna Squonker Box Mod Single 18650 Cell 80W

Gentle hugs for Monk and a big ole bear hug for you Mel. Glad to hear he got to come home!

He’s almost 12, pretty old for a large lab. He’s really lean at 100 lbs. But, his increasing spine issue has pretty much cut out any exercise. He so much wants to run and fetch, and he just can’t. I’m just glad today wasn’t the day he had to cross the rainbow bridge. It’s almost a year minus a week that we lost his mom.

Enough being pitiful.... I have the countdown clock going for FT. Aggravatingly, a couple things have already gone from in stock to ships in x days. Guess people are jumping on the 10% instead of waiting.

@Eskie great catch. Thank you.

 

[Heartsdelight]

I hope you like it!!! I'm not familiar with the Ulton version but have heard good things via reviews on FT and elsewhere. I recall @Heartsdelight and @Mordacai having one too. The Tripod RTA is one of my favorites. Great flavor and easy to build on. Tight MTL (using SS AF inserts) to DL.

Yes I have the Ulton version from 2fdeal & I enjoy it! You have a great memory!

There are some slings on amazon that have handles. They make them for front and rear. He’s a big boy but if you use now it might relieve some wear and tear.

Trying to decide which of my 3 RTA's is my favorite. I like all 3 of them, but I think the Profile is my favorite for flavor. Probably because it's mesh instead of coil? View attachment 854665

BTW. Pretty sure I need one of the new Aspire Mulus AIO's. I have a ton of Nautilus AIO, S2, and BVC coils, and this thing looks sweet!

Gear, Profile, Serpent Elevate

I won the Aspire Mulus & it is pretty sweet! I just wish they would make a rba for it. I asked Aspire & nope they have no plans to make one, yet anyway.
