    Topside and the first batch of flavours!
    Do i really must needs should do sft's?? ah well.
    rda's not here yet though. toppie gonna waitie, which is good, coz otherwise i won't let juice steep i knwoses it

    Listen to those above my post - do 5ml SFTs first. But there's no reason why you also can't do a couple of 10ml test mixes of your recipe.

    If you use the recipe creator at ELR, it has a section in it for notes. I use this app as my recipe calculator, and I note down every little detail when creating a recipe

    As much as I hate doing sft, they really do help. Once you know what it tastes like singly, you’ll know better how it will mesh with other flavors. I hate doing them, my impatience wants to jump right in to a mix. But, you’ll have a lot less mixes to dump down the drain if you sft first. Public Service Announcement for the day....Don’t be a dolt like Mel, SFT!!! Oh, and take notes. Trust me, you really won’t remember which vendor flavor “x” was less sweet/more candy like/more sweet/weak/strong down the road
    what does SFT stand for and I am obviously not doing it

    yes that is a hair tie on my tank. The only thing that stays put and has saved me many times (with a bubble tank) from glass breaking when dropped.

    There’s a couple not far from here who know that Carole. They say she is exactly how she’s portrayed on the show. I can’t even watch it. Carole was instrumental in keeping Tiger Ridge from getting their cats back, or even being allowed to see them. It was a tragedy.

    Backstory: Tiger Ridge has cars and other exotics for decades.

    Law changed and they had to put up higher fences.

    They scrounged the money and redid the fencing. Got a fresh license

    Ohio sent them an updated requirement list days after the new enclosures were installed. They had a couple weeks to try to come up with several thousand dollars to do the enclosures all over. They filed for extensions, and were denied.

    In decades, they never had one incident. I’m no fan of people keeping dangerous wild animals, but these people were doing fine. The animals looked well cared for - you could see them from the road, driving past.

    So the state takes their animals that are like family and sends them off to be mistreated and killed.

    The whole thing was heartbreaking. I donated when I could. Their legal fees were crazy. They sold everything to try to keep fighting. Some of their cats died while in someone else’s custody. It just sickens me. So incredibly unjust and undeserved. Meanwhile there are horses starving and standing in mud, falling down too weak to get up, and the (expletive) state won’t do a thing.

    I'm puffing on my Fireluke 2 as we speak. One of my two favorite drop-in coil tanks. Like I said in an earlier post, it's a keeper.

    Good morning EVERYBODY! It's a rough morning already. On a good note I dug out the Lucid RDA, threw in a set of Killer coils and wicked it up with some rayon. I have some DIY Strawberry Lemonade ejuice that's been steeping for a couple days. DRIP IT & RIP IT! WOW! I forgot how good the Lucid is. Since it's cloudy outside I think it's going to be cloudy inside too.

    in july it'll be 3 years off the smokes for me. yay etc.
    if i'm going to treat myself (and it will be up to me as few others care about such things) there's only really one mod left on the list. sure there are others that i'd like to have. some mechanical...some regulated but the one i actually feel a need for (silly, i know) is a kennedy vindicator 25mm with the constant contact switch. black or brass.
    knowing my luck they'll be out of production by the time i have the funds (if i ever have the funds).
    excuse the rambling but it is a shiny.
    right now i have a timesvape saint and dreamer sitting in front of me along with the vert (and plenty more on the shelf) so i'm not at all unhappy with my vaping lot but there will always be...the one.
    oh and if you're thinking about using nasal irrigation spray on your eyes? don't.

    When you get a Vindicator you won't regret it. I have a Vindicator with the standard switch on it and it hits hard. It's a great mod.

    yeah, sounds like she had a grudge and just would not let us. Became more of a power struggle. I heard about it but had no idea it was on Netflix.

    What's the difference between the constant contact and standard switch? I have a Vindicator 21 clone, and I love it. It drives the Goon 1.5 I have on it like a locomotive.

    if i saw one at a decent price with the original switch i'd still be all over it. would like the constant contact for completeness but it isn't a deal breaker.

    With the standard switch there is very little arcing. It's a great design.
    Speaking of arcing - is there any way of reducing it effectively? 2 of my REOs arc quite badly (you can see the contact through the door when vaping). I've tried cleaning all contacts with alcohol, de-oxit and even de-oxit gold coating. That improves the conductivity and seems to help with the arcing a bit but I'd like to reduce it more.
