The masculine/feminine thing confuses me no end. How am I supposed to know if a wall or a table identify as male or female?
I know the answer. The wall has no Brunhilde's in its pocket and she has AC sockets, so female. The table was born with four legs to walk away from a bickering wall (also, selective hearing), so male.

Then again, for example later in life, if a wall has an identity crisis and decides it's masculine or the table determines it's feminine... all bets are off. :lol: Thinking we end up with a HeWall and a SheTable. :facepalm: Betwixxing isn't it? :D

I’m really glad SMT has your contact info and we all should have a buddy or two who can keep in touch, for things like this.
Agreed. I even gave my brother my info to login here in case something happens to me. The whole not knowing (Eskie) is a bummer. I've exchanged info with Mel. Same with @Opinionated. Fran and Anna have each others info. Not sure who else has done this. If you want we can exchange too. Just a thought.

If in doubt just go with which one strikes your fancy. The French still understand....it just annoys them a bit :D

I suppose it's a bit like "not talking proper like what I do" :pervy:

Nothing logical about genders in language. Just learning and memory. Probably why kids pick up languages so much easier than adults
Tbh....I think it's a bit patriarchal. Eg une femme, un homme but ses femmes (plural).....the ses being masculine. So all plurals revert to the masculine :cry:

And when you start dreaming in the language you're completely there!! French is exactly the same except the grammar is much more complicated :)
You mean English grammar is more complicated, right? French is pretty straightforward. Not as straightforward as Italian or Spanish, but still a breeze compared to English.

But viewing "ses" as masculine is sexist in itself. The singular forms are "son" and "sa"; "ses" could follow from either, since all it shares with them is the initial s.

Just chillin' with some GS Thin Mints in vapor form today. Looks like my recent vape mail orders will be delayed by the holiday because of course they are :rolleyes:



(My theme music for today :D)

    Morning shinies ;)

    With my tobaccos nothing gives me flavor...and a good ol thump as the URSA rba.
    I have one deep and dark tobacco that gives me my morning fix..and I prefer the Dvarw for that.
    Then ofcourse there's Mrs Controversiality...she makes damn good flavor Angie ;)
    The old adage...You'll never know .. ... .... ... :w00t:

    That's why I can't wait to get my fave boys flavour, then I can truly do an Ursa vs Dvarw face-off. The Ursa really seems to shine with berries.

    As for the Brunhilde! If it was an actual RTA with the deck at the bottom, and still kicked every other RTA .... flavour wise - I'd be looking at it.

    But for chain-vaping me, I find RDTAs get warm too quickly compared to an RTA. And then there's the rewicking thing.

    The Brunhilde is my most flavorful RTA..no doubt. But I suppose because it hasn't got an chimney it technically isn't a RTA. I just did some chain vaping on it, and it don't feel that hot....maybe because my head is zooming...and yeah, then there's that rewicking thing :D
    But the flavor being soooo good, I forgive it for everything.
    My problem is..I'm worried that it might've been your best berry bomber...but because you didn't have it, you never knew :w00t:. I don't know if I can live with that Ange. I just want your life to be as complete as possible :wub:

    Tell ya wat....it's only $58...that's about your monthly spend on driptips :p

    Get one...give it a whirl...you don't like it..i'll buy from you...i'll pay the postage to ;)

    The other option is the Arise. According to everybody it makes very good flavor...and it's a proper RTA with a deck at the bottom, and a chimney. I've ordered the YFTK one from 3F.
    I still don't see it making better flavor than the Brunhilde though. My opinion (for what it's worth) is a chimney mutes flavor. The Brunhilde makes that beautiful flavor because it don't have the chimney.
    I think the reason the Dvarw and Arise makes such good flavor (even though they have chimneys) is because their liquid flows down to the coil...keeping the coil saturated to the max....dunno, just my opinion.

    Yes. I think another reason the Dvarw and Arise produce great flavor is the chamber is small (like an RDA) where our juice is vaporized before going up through the chimney. Same with the modern Kayfun's and a few other RTA's. It's a more condensed vape which means more flavor. Newer RTA's have gotten closer to an RDA like vape in that way, not exactly there, but closer I think.

    And I totally agree with you. The Brunhilde is not really an RTA, IMO. It is an RDA or RDTA more precisely. It's very tough, to near impossible, to beat an RDA design for flavor. I have yet to find an RTA that can match my RDA's for flavor.

    Give it a go @AngeNZ. I mean, drip tips or a Brunhilde? One is like a decorative ornament while the other screams flavor.

    I know you are a flavor chaser. ;)
    aren't we all???

    I see it as a RTA with RDA flavor. Because of the st st ropes, I don't have to stick my cotton in the holes (I hate that with RDTAs), but yeah technically it is a RDTA.
    I think to eliminate any confusion it can be called a RDTARTARDA :lol:

    That’s incredibly brave, moving to a new country, learning the language on the fly.
    I remember when I took my seat on the plane I was shivering like a leaf....thinking what the hell am I doing.
    Now I don't want to go back..even for a visit....well maybe some day.
