Hello everyone! Hope you’re all doing well and enjoying your shinies!

no new shinies for me lately. Working on getting a roommate first.

I’m looking forward to going back a few pages and try to get up to date which I know won’t be possible but I’ll try!!

Hi Fidola.
Hope you're in good form. We've missed you

Unfortunately, covid has stolen our smiles. Out in public, we can't see each others expressions now. I miss smiles.

You can still see them in the eyes.

 

[charlie1465]

Truth! Glad I've been too busy to catch now. Hope all is well with all of you. Between Mom, work, and critters I'm too behind to even attempt catching up.

Great to see you. Hope you're well Lets

Ok, now it is starting to click. I think I have changed my mind. The luna sounds like it would be good to have.

I knew you’d cave once SMT put the pressure on
On a regulated mod, I’m generally in the 13-15w range. On my mechs, I build a coil that will put me around there. So, yes, tootle puffers “mech” too

 

[charlie1465]

I hope you’ve been well Charlie!

And you Sara

Twice I started to reply to your questions, @Redbird11, and twice held off to see if anyone else had. And both times I saw that @ShowMeTwice gave you exactly the information I was planning to furnish, right down to the links. Then @AngeNZ came along and topped everything up with a tutorial. Result? I don't need to explain nuttin'.

tl;dr: Get a Luna. And consider a Pumper.

I am interested in thoughts regarding a paypal dispute for vaping gear. Technically, Paypal is not supposed to be used for vaping purchases from what I understand. With that in mind, is there a way to initiate a dispute, or am I just out of luck?

I just got my money back from PayPal for a vapeciga purchase that never made it out of China. All you have to tell them is your order didn’t ship/wasn’t received/was incorrect (pick one). The seller has time to respond to you through PayPal. If they don’t, you can escalate it, and PayPal contacts them. In my case, no response to either of us, so they refunded my money. Never asked what the purchase was, and I didn’t tell them

Congrats.....let us know the info then . How easy was the build with the new clamp system?

I've got two on the way and I'm on the list for the og when it opens. The coil clamp system on the Dvarw is my one grumble with my otherwise favourite tank

Your comments will be appreciated

I installed a clapton coil. Came out to .93 Ohms. First try I clamped it with the leads on top, it slipped out. Second try leads on bottom, clamped easy. Interesting thing about the Dvaw DL FL is that all the screws are the same, from the 510-the post clamp screws. I think all tanks should be this way, makes replacing screws so much simpler when their all one size. Very nice tank, I am enjoying it. I wish this had come out in the days when the Kayfun emerged, it would have been a contender.

Thank you, that was helpful. Science is confusing.

Pah! Science isn’t confusing, it’s the “mathing” that buggers everything up!

Good to know. I just chatted with someone at Sourcemore they said that it will be shipped out today. Informed that if not, I will be placing a dispute on the transaction.

I didnt manage updating everyone yesterday, but when I went to the doctors to get another home sleep study kit and explain all the issues I had, she plugged it in to see what was recorded and said it recorded 6-1/2 hours of sleeping, so we were good. She said the nasal cannula is finicky, but it still recorded so it was finished!

My husband and I assessed that was likely all the sleep I managed over the course of three nights.. lol.

I've slept most of the time since I got home yesterday and I'm feeling much better now. A good night's sleep tonight and I'll be back on top again...

As a beside, I've been watching the British Baking Show on Netflix, and I have to say the brits are so sweet! There's a kindness that has been lacking lately in America and it's been so pleasant to watch the show...

So - hats off to the British tonight! They've been good for my soul...

The great British Bake Off is a much loved series. I must see if I can get it on my Netflix. I have the French version though so it may not be available.

We've been watching feeding Phil which has been equally good for my soul. He's a very kind American as well

To be quite honest, I still don't fully understand any of it. But I am now confident enough to know that it probably won't blow my face off. That and I can ask you guys for help when my brain is in more receptive to new information. Right now, I am pretty sure my brain is just taking a break from absorbing knowledge.

 

[Zazie]

I have zero doubt you'll prevail, @Redbird11.

Thanks. That makes one of us!

It's one of my favorite RDA's.. for real (and I've purchased a lot). I have 4 and wonder if it's enough... I like it about equal with the KRMA..

(P.S. I'm not talking about the Galaxies RDTA though, I don't have one of those, only the Galaxies RDA's)

However, I've never tried the Narca or Narda though..

Both the Narca and Narda are superb RDA's. Small chamber with fantastic flavour and pretty over squonk proof..... @Katya

You know, I was strongly considering the Luna, but then I noticed that it was unregulated. Those make me nervous.

It's semi regulated as it's got a MOSFET so no need to worry.

It's an excellent vape although it works best with coils at 0.4 and above IMO. Get one you won't regret it

Ok, good to know. This is regarding a Sourcemore purchase. It has now been over 2 and a half weeks since I placed the order. I have contacted them a few times, and every time they say it will be shipped within 24 hours. But as of right now, still not shipped. Pretty frustrating.

What is really disappointing is that I was planning on making at least one more order from them to finish filling out my stash of backup mods. But now, I am not very confident in dealing with them.

Sourcemore are generally ok to deal with. They're probably waiting for new stock. I wouldn't worry too much. They've never let me down

That was my first thought about it being a stocking issue, but they confirmed last week that everything was in stock and ready to go. I'm not overly worried about it, but a bit frustrated.

Good morning shinies

May you all have a very excellent day.
