Stupid of me.....good point but I think the posted videos show how excellent Alex's finishing work is.

My burl wood set from Maddox customs were just sent sanded to 1500 grit so no real finishing at all. There should have been for 120 dollars. Don't get me wrong they were nicely done...I just think the extra work should have been done at that price...it's made me a bit wary :D
He just lost his dad. I think that has things kinked up a bit. According to his posts on fb

You're a gardener Delores? My wife and I love gardening. This is our garden. I look forward to spring every year. Therapy for me. Also a picture of an okra flower. Beautiful flowers in the veggie garden.

I was, for many years. I only have flowers lately. I can’t keep up with all the lawn work, something had to give. I do miss my veggies though. Maybe if I can hire a lawn service, I’ll plant some stuff this year.

This is my pride and joy, a giant hardy hibiscus I grew from seed. It was over 5’ tall and had almost 2 dozen blooms as big as dinner plates. I planted another sprout last fall, can’t wait to see if she makes it!

feck it - I think this is my 5th reply catching up. Sorry for the ANGE SPAM :p

No one on my ignore list either :cry:

and some ppl have said it helps condensation in an atty if you use a drip tip with a bore larger than the bore of the chimney. Correct me if I'm wrong @JustWondering1 :wub:
Ummmmm. No lol. I love my horde of regular 510 DTs that I have carefully amassed from China! I guess I will just suffer the indignity of condensation. I have a lovely wider DT someone surprised me with, but its stem is a tad too long for the dot. Just as well, it looks particularly smashing on the rta I put it on first.

Man, I'm getting really tired of these vague, generalized BS usps notifications. Been in California for almost a week now.

In Transit to Next Facility
Your package is moving within the USPS network and is on track to be delivered to its final destination. It is currently in transit to the next facility.
If cali is like here, it’s because the postal workers are all hunkered down at home. If mine were normally competent, work oriented people, I’d be less suspicious of their motives. I’m guessing “free vacation” not home sick. They better deliver my dotaio tomorrow, or it’s going to get spicy.

One unexpected side effect of Coronavirus is how clean everything is now. It has also rained quite a bit lately which has helped. The litter is almost all gone. I have lived here since 1979, and I have never seen the air so clear. View attachment 875305 View attachment 875307
Isn’t it creepy feeling? I went out today to ship Mom’s hand sanitizer. It reminds me of the week after Katrina. Eerily empty out. Especially with all the businesses closed. Even the grocery down the block only had a few cars out front. I expected them to be packed.

I don't think the 40 box is the lifetime supply. There is a much larger box that would be more like "salon use" that some folks bought in the beginning before we discovered the smaller boxes. Graham Professional CelluCotton Beauty Coil | Perm Rods & Cotton Coils | Sally Beauty

ETA: the big one is $17 now instead of the $15 it was a few years ago.

well then that would explain it. I was thinking maybe my lifetime was just shorter than every other rayon user :shock: !!

You own too much stuff :)

Even at its largest, my collection of tanks ran to 3, any box of rayon would last a lifetime for me back then, rebuild every 6 weeks at earliest vaping unflavoured on TC, with one tank (soon to be joined by a Ulton Tripod clone, FT and COVIS-19 not withstanding, supposed to ship in 3 days, its been sitting there for 7 days waiting on a restock of the Tripod...)

Is there really a thing of owning too much vape gear :lol: !

Seriously though, I developed a chronic illness over a decade ago and no longer can do many things from traveling, skiing and horseback riding to simple things like going out to eat. So when I found vaping it became a hobby and something that I loved to do and most of the time I’m physically able to do.

It had been a long time since I had found something I enjoyed “doing” and being interested in. So in my head I figure it still doesn’t make up for over a decade of mostly being a shut in but I love it and it keeps me busy. I’ve met so many awesome people here that I enjoy so it’s given me a social outlet as well.

Sometimes I have to remind myself why it’s ok to own so much gear and spend money on it and not feel guilty. Must be the catholic school girl in me lol! Guilt Guilt Guilt!!!

Vaping has become so much more for me than not smoking cigarettes and I appreciate all of you here for the comradeship, the help especially when I was a newcomer and just being here to share with :wub: !!

Have a great night everyone;)

My roommate is a letter carrier and she’s expected at work everyday. No days off for them at least yet.

They just shut the whole state down for the next month. I do deliveries also so I think I will be busy with those. It has been really creepy quiet here. If they shut down the Strip lights it will be spoooooky. I worry that crime is gonna get bad. I think we may be in for a rough ride.

School is out till mid April, but there’s already talk that the school year is over. The mayor said today, possibly 6 months before everything is done and reopened. Makes me want to pack up my food and vape and go to the lake, but Himself’s stressed from work and needs me to keep it all together here. I’ll just smile and stress inside my head instead.

I looked all over to try to find what thread I should ask this under and this is as close as it comes.

If you ask the United States Postal Service to please locate your mail via the online form what do you report was in your package? They have very specific like content listing and if it doesn't fall under any of those (which it doesn't) then you have all these other questions about the very specific items in your package when as far as I know I'm not missing items I'm missing a whole box LOL I'm assuming that they didn't open my package and send each individual 10 bottles to a different location along with the two packs of coils to other places.

I'll probably also contact the company I bought it from because they're the ones that suggested I go ahead and fill out the online form to ask them to please locate not to report it missing because you can't do that for 15 days plus and ask them what I should fill out. But I know that we have some mail Savvy people here and I thought I should get y'all's opinion or experience

Outstanding post.

There are vast multitudes like you, but who need to be more honest.

Vaping is far FAR more than just smoking cessation.

If you'd like me to share her unedited response to my pm with you in a pm, I'd be happy to. You may be right, and it may not be the whole story, but it's what she shared with me. You can make your own judgement Jay. :)
Rob please PM me?

I didn't see that.... That's sad. You do mean Alex Gaevskiy?

Edit. @Terri McVeety I just realised you meant Maddox. No my panels were way before all that sheninigans :)
