Could go to vapewild and get a funky 160 and extra resin panels.
Heard for the money it performs well, but the panels are thin.
You could get every panel color they have. Oops screenshot cut off panel price, 9.99

Yeah, I checked out resin mods for a while, the ones I love are too expensive for what they do. LOL. I also already bought a mod today, so I distracted myself with MOAR editing, which was far more productive. I will probably get some flavors tonight, but it's not like I have to not ever buy anything, the consolidation will give us more income, not less. I decided I was being a whiny little brat and should just.... Edit myself. It's a part of the story where I WAS a whiny brat, so it's not like it was super difficult..... :lol::lol:

Thanks for casting the net. Had no idea what a premium "resin" would be.... :)

I have had bad luck with picos. My first (internal) I got off ebay but it was used, and had to be returned. Never again. I got the rainbow external battery pico and disliked it enough to sell it. IDK, they're just not for me. I get why they're well liked, but I don't need another pico to sell again, just because it's resin. It's really fine, I considered the Voopoo and some of the others but they just didn't do much for me. It's not like I "need" a resin mod to live or anything. They are pretty, but pricy, and I don't want to go low budget, I'd rather save up and get something nicer....

IDK about the pico, it got poor battery life, in my estimation, and I was hoping the tank would be fine with the EUC coils, but I just somehow didn't like it. I appear to be still breathing, though, so I imagine I will be Just Fine. :)

I got dentures at age 33 because lithium is a salt, and it ate away (visibly) my teeth. I had to get like 11 cavities fixed and a couple root canals in my 20s when I was on it. After literally NOTHING else worked, I decided to have 24 teeth pulled (so yes, all of them) and get dentures, because frankly, brains matter more than teeth. I did fine for about 10 years, but your bone does wear down over time, and I had to get implants to "save" my remaining jawbone. It was horrific and vastly expensive, but if I hadn't done it when I did, well, I would have lost all my bone. Denture implants snap TO your dentures, and they are embedded rather deep in your jaw. I had 8 inserted, the process took about a year, as one went bad and well, a lot of stuff happened. I think it wound up costing about $15K, and I was lucky as my ortho doc cut me a break and stopped charging me for stuff, like drilling out dead and infected bone after a massive infection.

But, I can chew celery now! You have no idea the thrill.... After cutting stuff up tiny for about 4 years. Because the implants are deep in your jaw, they function like "tooth" roots, when you chew and stimulate bone health.

I had 5 surgeries (awake) and then had to get them all exposed and hooked up. Denture implants look scary, so I won't link a pic. I was thrilled to get through all the surgeries using novacane and advil, not sedation and opiates. My ortho surgeon told me I was the "best" "awake" patient he ever had, as I just lay there with my eyes closed, praying, and did what I was told, to the best of my ability.

Just saw a video for the new Evolv DNA chip. Comes with a Replay function that copies a selected hit and makes adjustment to deliver the same result with each and every hit you take. Looks pretty damned cool. And probably pretty expensive.
FYI this new technology will be available via firmware update for older DNA chips.

Really like that Funky 160. It's funny how it says welcome back! I just had to get a full uppér at 43. I am getting the hard reline next week. My focus now is on saving the bottom teeth. I heard those are worse. The first time I could eat a cheeseburger again was the best thing ever! I am going to look into implants but my insurance doesnt cover it and the dentist I have now is expensive.

I didn't understand the first joke - and I'm lost on the second. ..

Maybe I'm just in too much pain to get jokes today..

That's my story and I'm sticking to it... lol.

Does the pain shoot down your leg, or is it only in the hip? Does the doctor suspect sciatic nerve involvement? I had a herniated disc four years ago. The pain came on suddenly and was the worst pain I have had to suffer through in my life. I just ask about the sciatic nerve because that was my problem - the herniated disc was pressing on the nerve. Unbelievable pain. :(

@stols001 - I love the Lost Vape Mirage. A single battery wouldn't suit me, but would probably suit you. Element Vape has it in stock now and they seem to run those $10, $20, $40 off sales every now and then. That would put it at just above your $100 limit. If you could combine with a new customer coupon, or if you have any points with them, that would help. Nice mod.

The software that's not available in the US is the portion that enables a device to exceed 150 or 200 watts. Sounds like this is easy to get around by getting the file from someone else and downloading it. The update that allows the Replay mode will be available worldwide and is compatible with 75C devices as well as others. I've never owned a DNA device but this feature looks so useful that my cheap a#@ is actually considering getting one. I'm interested to see what some of the TC pros say about it
