Wow! If I keep mine inside during the warm months will that save it?? I’m in NE Texas so humidity can be an issue.
Not sure Terri. Mine was kept inside but no air con. I'd never heard of this happening until Mel mentioned something about stabwood not doing well in New Orleans.

I absolutely adored my green pumper 18 until last summer's humidity warped it. The photo doesn't quite capture it but the wood expanded and the resin stayed as was. Instead of the perfect hand feel that Ange raves about it now feels weird and bulgy.

Maybe with more time . . .

Well I guess that’s why my stab panels warp. Didn’t even think of that.

That’s why my poor Luna lives in a baggie with desiccant packs :(
Eventually I’ll find someone somewhere with lovely weather who wants to give it a home.

No one’s seen Delores anywhere yet?
Monk got a reprieve. The vet gave him acupuncture for his back, and added another med. She said he probably has at least several good months left, so that’s positive. She couldn’t aspirate the tumor, but it’s not attached to the muscle, so we’ll just watch it for now. I hope Rudy is having a positive day too.

Happy to hear the news with Monk! I've been patiently waiting, tapping fingers and toes. :wub:

Haven't seen Delores in what, at least a couple days now. I do hope she and Rudy are ok. :wub:

    @charlie1465 hang in there. All you can do is take it one day at a time.

    So I restocked my tracking number queue. June 1 you're supposedly not going to be able to get flavored juice other than tobacco in NY State. As I'm liking some of these commercial juices, I put in one order scheduled for this Thursday, and another kinda large order today. I got off my .... to get caught up on my stockpile. There's a red Topside dual landing today by FEDEX. Some RDAs from 3Fvape which will get here when it gets here. Got a Poet styled I wanted to try, and a replacement Gas Mods GR GR S for the GR1 I manged to break dropping onto tile floor. Well, I broke the cap. But the DT is integral and the way it broke wasn't repairable so I tossed it. I guess I could have hunted for a replacement cap but was too ...... off to deal with it. Also ordered in some more drop in coils just to build a little inventory.

    I finally decided to go with the SQ 2017 with a black frame and red doors. I got it from Signature Tips I was upset about is the lousy currency conversion PP does as it's that or a wire transfer. They took out about $11 for the currency conversion. I know my credit card would have given me a better rate, but it wasn't to be.I'm glad the Chinese vendors already price in USD.

    That should hold me for a while, and just snipe going forward as I'm feeling pretty well stocked up across for now.

    Good Afternoon Shiny Ones !!!

    On my walk with Dog this morning I noticed someone wrote "What Are You Grateful For?" in very colorful chalk on the sidewalk. I smiled and chuckled. My initial thought was … I am grateful for this very moment as it is the only one I own.

    Honestly I am grateful for a great deal like ya know my whole life. Also grateful for whoever wrote that on the sidewalk. Very Cool.

    It's all about the little things with me. They mean the most.

    On the vape side… I haven't been able to put the Clutch down since I received it.
