I understand that, but I also know there’s a lot of overhead for a B&M that doesn’t apply to a website.

Where I live, the vast majority of people will not shop online for anything. The just don’t trust the internet. It’s not that they don’t know it can be done, it’s that they think they’re going to have their identity stolen, as if that’s the only way it can happen.

Speaking of all this, I need to vent. I went to the PO to pick up my Dot yesterday and - I used to get along fine with the woman who works there - she read me the riot act again!

For ordering stuff online. For being out on public. I said, I came to get my mail, otherwise haven’t left the house. Most of my stuff comes right to my house. So she gave me what for about buying from Amazon. Supporting a billionaire, who treats his employees horribly, and killing local businesses...

And I don’t disagree with any of that, but, I can’t get my dog food local. They might have a couple cans in one store, and I have to drive 20 miles east for that, then 35 miles west to check the other store, and 20 miles north to a third store- how many people will I come in contact with like that? It’s absurd to think that’s a better idea, especially now.

If I don’t have to be in public, I’m not going. I’m sick of the judgement.

Some of you have to go out. You should not have to be exposed to me if I can avoid you.

We are, for the most part, all doing the best we can. All of our circumstances are not the same, we have to do what works, what makes the most sense.

Sounds like she has it in for you Delores. Some people need that in their lives - makes them feel important. Nothing you do or say will probably ever change her mind. Please feel free to flip her the bird from me next time you see her.

Edit: Just read Rob's post. What he said !

I am going to list some stuff on the class's so I do not have so much guilt about all the stuff I have bought and do not use.

Morning shinies

I am not expert but after reading the love some have for squonks and AIOs I recognise three of them but not your two on the right neither the silver one

The 2 on the right are wismec luxotic bf mods - brilliant wee unregulated mods, but some need a pin siliconed to make them safer. Other silver one is the Hippovape kudos mod. An awesome tiny regulated mod, that people have been having major problems with - so I wouldn't recommend it

Exactly what happened to me.
Dismantling it is very tricky. The internals are so tightly packed that it's very hard to re-assemble.
The main design flaw is that there is no insulation between the steel 510 pin/squonk tube and the board. Literally mm between them. Screwing on an atty causes the whole squonk tube to move and the slightest bump can cause a short to the screen.
I spent hours over mine with bright lights and tools. It beat me in the end.

and @Fredman1 - can you coat anything in there with silicone to prevent that short from happening?

Your PO lady needs to far cough You are doing everything you can to be safe, and that is all you can do

Since we went on full lockdown a week ago, I've gone to the supermarket once, and that's been it. Need to go again today, and to the pharmacy to pick up scripts.

I kept a diary in Word since before I quit smoking. Five and a half years now. Early on I was making half a dozen entries a day. After I quit it was like therapy, along with obsessively reading ECF. Later on I didn't write so much but still something most days. Every change to my vaping habits, every vaping stand I built, every time I ordered anything or mixed anything. Photos. I don't do social media except for ECF so I do other things on my computer. I have a whole folder of assorted vaping files.

Anyway, over the last few days I read through my entire vaping diary. More lockdown activity. It's like reading a medium sized book now. Quite interesting to see how I figured stuff out along the way, and see stuff I had forgotten.

I kept a diary of raising my daughter. Gymnastic years, Cheerleading years, boyfriends, etc. Just notes about her. What she liked and disliked. I gave it to her last year. (she is 38)

I always get an alert when someone posts something for sale. Did anyone get an alert that I posted? Because I did not get one

Haven't got one.

 

[virm]

are there shipments going out of the states at all? i've been waiting forever it seems for my axial..

btw, what's this mean from their confirmation email, was a greeting quote:

when filling a tank. please snip the tip.

joke or something?

 

[Letitia]

I just invested 300 dollar on a mod kit,dozens of coil and some spare battery...Now waiting for shipment,excited and can’t wait for it to arrive.Do you guys prefer to buy online or retail vape shop?

Online, better deals and I have enough that waiting isn't a concern.

Good morning Shiny's
Interesting couple of days.

Morning all, hope you’re doing well!

I really would like a blue dotaio and the white se, but I’m going to hold off a little.

Made this mini notebook cover yesterday. I thought it was hilarious, posted on my FB, and not one person got the joke.

I don't get it either

 

[charlie1465]

that would explain a lot. DHL etc have their own planes but i seldom get anything delivered by them.
my bb panels are still in HK...have been for three weeks. next day delivery from ecigone (via amazon) is taking two days but i'm not at all grumbling about that (do want my dotaio se quickly however ).
work network is basically broken so there's little remote work to be done.
morning all.

Yep I've got some wire that's been sitting in Hong Kong for a week now....

 

[charlie1465]

those with the dotaio...how are the 0.7 coils? the 0.3 are sold out at all of my usual haunts. ta.

The 0.7 coils are very tight on the draw. If you look closely the holes giving access to the cotton are tiny compared to the 0.3. Great if you like MTL but unusable for my style although I do like some of my MTL atties.

Sorry I was too late with my response

In each of my dots they came with a spare .7 coil so I was able to try before buy

i'm seldom impulsive but as i had some money in my paypal balance i went for it. probably obvious why all the 0.3s were sold out. will give them a go regardless but will start with the included 0.3. my se left liverpool at 2pm (it's not the leaving of liverpool that grieves me, but my darling when i think of thee).

Could always try to modify the ports.

Oh geez... I’m feeling less optimistic and leery of mine. I’m afraid to go google and find out y’alls aren’t the only two lemons. Are there are a to. Of known flaws with the kudos? Crappy, cause I really like it

Maybe quarantine has sucked their senses of humor dry

I think people are just whacked out stressed out right now. I had to go out again too. Out of distilled water for my CPAP and, most importantly spinach for smoothies. I am ultra careful, gloves, mask, hand sanitizer hanging on purse, peel the gloves and dispose outside of store, hand sanitize before getting in car. The you get home with your bags in your car and then what? Take them in, without gloves on? Put more gloves on?
It is a crazy world right now. The most disturbing thing is the people out and about, with kids, no wiping down of the cart, no facemask. I stay as far from these people as I can

When I went to pick up my grocery order (they bring it to the car, no contact) I was shocked at the people elderly/moms with littles/ groups going in with no gloves/masks, grabbing a cart without wiping it down....Honestly, I’m just jealous of anyone that can actually go inside the store... so take my cranky take on their behavior with a grain of salt. Out of the 6400 cases in the state, 1400 are in my suburban area, 2300 in the city proper. You’d think people would take it a little more seriously.
