Sorry for off topic but I feel so strongly about evil greedy breeders of animals for sale that I just have to post it here. Sorry, sorry. Yes, there are responsible breeders out there, but many many are just...

Agree with you a thousand times over. My beautiful russian blue cat was dropped off at our vet’s office as a wee kitten with her litter mates for euthanasia because they were “unsalable”. They threw a long hair gene, so couldn’t be shown or bred. He whisked them away to the back, gave them all their shots, fixed them, and found them furever homes.
He was the best vet, forever taking in unwanted animals from horses and goats, to a flock of out of work wedding doves, and even a huge three legged snapping turtle with a cracked shell he had repaired. He once put a pin (made out of a bit of hypodermic needle) in our rescue baby guinea pig’s broken leg. Truly a kind, kind soul

Back on topic. I love the form factor, but that middle finger firing business makes me nervous. Don't you find it awkward? You and other Mixx users?

I’ll let you know tomorrow (hopefully!!!). I vape left handed, but with this button placement, I don’t think that’ll make a difference.

A middle finger is middle finger.

Please report! It's still on pre-order at Sourcemore. Oy.

Kat I thought I would but it's really comfortable for me. I fire naturally with my second finger (next to index finger). Thumb is also easy

Good to know. Added to my list.

I think Element still has them in stock here in the US. Pretty sure it was in their email today.

China? I thought you were buying from KHV Mods, locally. I was thinking that the DL FL with a 2.5 mm single hole insert (sold separately) might be good for me. In the meanwhile, I'm waiting for the FL MTL. It may take some time.

I am buying from the OG guys but I've got to wait for a list to open on FB. So in the meantime it's the clone I'm afraid

I'll let you know how the both fair when I've got them. What is your preference? True MTL or fairly restricted DL?

 

[charlie1465]

Congratulations!

Thanks Letitia.....it's a relief i can tell you.

Ok, so having tried the Coppervape Dvarw for a few days now, and comparing it to the Ares 2, I have to say that I think I prefer the Dvarw.

No it's not awkward at all. I sometimes use my index, middle and also my thumb. The biggest risk is covering up your atty air intake....a common problem with side by sides. Ergonomically it's actually really comfortable

I was in a rush this morning, and didn't do all my replies - so prepare for an angespam

I'm doing fine. Really pleased actually as my nurse pursuaded me to try taking my oxygen off and I've just done a whole day without any bad effects. So looks like I'm off the oxygen which is a fantastic feeling.

Also got two Dvarw DL FL's on the way from ft so looking forward to that. Yes a combination of browsing and an easy access credit card is never a good combination

Take care mate

Seriously brilliant news . You are back to being an unchained Charlie/Melody

Good morning shinies

It's the wee small hours so an extra nap on the sofa is in order

Thanks Ange.....it's the best thing that's happened in a while and now apparently my body may respond by making more heamoglobin.....my Friday blood results will show any changes

unfortunately they are inbreed far to often causing all kinds of genetic problems that the cats have for life. All in the name of money. I work with several rescues that take in from breeders. Cats that have problems and the breeder was never able to sell them. No animal should be used for monetary purposes and it always leads to a lessening of the animals welfare

Totally agree. And you know better than most, there are zillions of cats in shelters/rescues and humane societies who desperately want love and to have a real home. I've told you this before, but it bears repeating, you are an Angel for all that you do. I know how rough the last few have been on you. Breaks my heart.
Thank you for all you do. You are a sweetheart.

Thanks for sharing about Sal and his brother Kat. Right, there are breeders and then there is the majority... ers. I know you are familiar with the laws/regs in Germany, and a few others, regarding breeding. They are very stringent and exacting for good reason -- the welfare of the animal not the greed of evil simpleton peeps. Those laws ought to be implemented across the US. If they were we would not see the problems we have. Truth and Fact

At least 90+ percent of so-called breeders here would never be allowed to breed an animal in Germany. They would fail to meet the most basic of requirements. And I can't even get started on the low life backyard basement scum.

Ok, I must stop now. Sorry.

Minus the FA Forest Fruit it would also make a fine ice cream base for trying out other flavors for your very own Baskin-Robbins variety of ice creams.

Awesome! I will be mixing that one tomorrow.

What SMT said If you end up liking an ice cream base, it's a quick and easy way to test out different flavours - eg I stuck in some FA Caramel to my ice cream base, and HEY PRESTO! I had a new fave recipe.

I'm crap at doing SFFT (single fricking flavour testers) so that's my method of trying out different flavours, and comparing them

PS: I forgot to add sweetener into your suggestion. Which was dumb as I've never ever done a single mix without sweetener
Revised recipe:

Redbird's Original Sin
4% Vanilla Ice Cream
2% Whipped Cream
2% Vanilla Swirl (TFA)
0.5% Super Sweet (CAP) or similar

2% Forest Fruit (FA)

Back on Topic... I don't use my middle finger. Mostly use my thumb and index fingers. And in life I know I don't use my middle finger as often as I should. I try my best to be reserved.

I like the gold too but if you ever get sick of it you can order some silver and/or black caps from Aspire for 3 bucks each. Postage is a bit expensive so maybe we can join forces?

Absolutely - we'll call them silver Anzac caps I'm in no rush, so they can go to your addy first. 2 x silver for me. I was already signed up at Aspire if you want me to purchase them. Let me know what you want

I stopped doing SFT's years ago. I dive right into making something. IMO doing SFT's is a huge waste of time (and flavoring).

I mean who buys flour for a cake and tries it on its own before baking the cake? No one ever, never. IMO creating juice recipes is no different than baking.

I have a few different bases that I know very well. Those are my test beds for new flavors. Just makes more sense to me.

Twins!!! My second Tux Mixx came today. View attachment 901085

I'm trying to resist twins. Not easy when I see this
BTW is that a MTL 3.5ml dvarw on the left and a MTL 3.5ml FL dvarw on the right? I'm playing spot the difference, and could see the height difference

Natural as anything. I'd happily use my middle finger to fire every mod if I could. Instead I'll use it for ppl that annoy me (everyone here is very much excluded )
