Good evening everyone! I hope you all have a great long weekend for those in the US w the holiday Monday off. And for everyone else too of course!

Vape Mail came and went. I guess I need a new doorbell because the package needs Signature Authorization and I never heard the doorbell. I was here all day about 40 feet from the door where the mailbox is located. It wasn’t my usual carrier because my guy will sometimes scribble my name for me and knock and wait knowing I’m still having a tough time getting around.

I mean how hard is it to freakin knock on the door. I can pick it up before noon at the post office though. Grrrrrr!

I believe it’s the red Topside I purchased abt 3 days ago. 4 at the most. Great shipping time from vapordna!!

Good morning shinies :wub:

Thanks @AngeNZ and @Eskie for the good night wishes. Overall it was a great first night back at home although I did end up getting up at 05h15. Managed a four hour block if sleep which for me is a huge win:)

I'm going to open my packages today and see what we've got. I'll report back later :D

Nothing new and Shiny on the horizon for me so I'm living vicariously through you guys and enjoying familiar gear here at home.

Tickets with FT and 3fVape 12 days and 9 days respectively without reply.
They are in serious turmoil in Shenzen and now HK with the Covid19 mess so I don't blame them for being slow.

Hope all you guys are having a great Friday night or Saturday wherever you are.

@charlie1465 I'm so happy you're home.

Thanks Pigs.... yes the covid 19 debacle is kind of worrying. Still I expect they'll get on top of it eventually :)

I had a pm from Chelsea at Vaporesso yesterday saying that they were back to work now. Not sure where they're based but probably Shenzhen. Things will slowly get back to normal I expect but you're right everything will be slower when you factor in the extra checks and stuff :)

Hope you've had a good day and are heading for a relaxing one tomorrow :)

    I watched a Utube video yesterday about a guy driving through Shenzen. Went into some popular shopping malls to. That place is still very much a ghost town. Going to take some time before that place gets up to speed i'm sure.
    My biggest worry (i'm sure theirs to) is that virus has a up to 24 day incubating period. There surely is A simptomatic people moving around everywhere that might have the virus still incubating....

    Just to give you an idea of how much I love this atty- I found dripping about a year and a half ago and never looked back. Until the Zeus. I stopped using and buying RTAs because the flavor from dripping was so spectacular. And I had been using some very nice RTAs such as the Steam Crave Supreme 2 etc. no slouch for flavor. So I ended up dripping 95% of the time.

    Then the Zeus came out and I read & watched all the great reviews it received so I bought one. That was about 10 Zeus’s later plus 2 Duals and a handful of the Xs. Still kept coming back to the single coil Zeus. I’m totally in love with it.

    It got me on an RTA hunting spree to find on that exceeds other even matches the flavor. And although I’ve found a few awesome RTAs both single and dual coil I keep going back to the original Zeus.

    I’ve stocked up on them and extra bubble tanks to last a lifetime. Well I guess that’s the point at the moment anyways.

    So I’ve become a silly Zeus fan girl of them. I still drip but I use the Zeus far more than any other atty I have.

    Obviously I see you have one from your photo. Are you a fan as well?

    Did you see any of the videos of the “police” dragging people out of their homes kicking & screaming? It said that anyone seen not wearing a mask in public was taken into custody.

    I think this virus is much worse than the world’s governments are letting on for fear of panic and what it’ll do to the global economy. I’m sure other factors as well but the bottom line is money as usual.

    @charlie1465 hi Charlie! How are you feeling today? I haven’t yet scrolled through all the pages to see any of your updates but I was wondering if you had been released today (yesterday now) and if you’re home yet. I really hope so.

    Edit: just saw that you’re home now!! I’m so happy for you!

    I don’t thin the cotton too much. Just a bit. The most important part to me is making sure the cotton goes just past the opening to the juice well.

    A little longer than I go, but this is good.

    Two good tutorials





    Thanks for posting these tutorials. I’m going to build a Serpent this weekend. I’ve been REALLY lucky with my building RTAs. The only one I had problems with was the Steam Crave Surpreme V2 but that was more a case having a hard time getting the deck installed correctly into the base. Ended up with leaking from the airflow holes. I really dislike those kinds of build decks now lol! I still am lucky if I am able to get the deck situated correctly.

    Thanks Sara....yes I've had my first night at home which was bliss. I managed a four hour block in one go...hoorah...a big thing for me :)

    Still on oxygen at home for the moment. Cripes you should see the two huge tanks I've got in my office :rolleyes:

    I have a huge long tube which allows me to go anywhere in the house so just having that is getting back some muscle tone as after six weeks in hospital I've become quite weak.

    How's your hip. Hope that you're getting there slowly. Slowly, slowly catchy monkey as the saying goes.

    Have a great weekend :wub:
