One day, when the prices don't scare the hell out of me, I may get a REO and see for myself.

One way to save money is to surf the Classifieds. But I always look for, or ask for, a picture of the REOS with the door open. I always look for the condition of the spring (it collapses in a dead short, designed that way as a protection) and the firing pin. Don't know that I am allowed to say anything more than that about the classifieds.

I didn't know we could/ were to post pictures. Might send someone into relapse

on it's way from China.

I've looked at them. I'm going to be honest, I think they're just ugly. Except for the Walnut, but I can't see dropping over $100. I know they're durable and good, just not hard on my mods to the point where I have to be concerned with durability.

That being said, I accept they're damn good mods, just not something I have to have.


So, we're off to visit my mother. My mod should be delivered today, it's updated and in town. Not holding my breath.

You know this thread is moving faster than the tootle puff thread. Just say'in

One SHINYITIS thread to rule them all. LOL. Eskie, I do kind of think shinyitis of varying degrees unites everyone on this thread.... The enablers, those needing encouragement, those needing a tap to the head. Those needing to laugh. Etc. Tootlepuffing is not everyone Shinyitis is endemic to a lot of vapers here. The ones who aren't afflicted find this thread funny and most likely post a time or two....

My motivational enhancement strategy is still working LOL, no time on "sales" threads and more time on meaningful activity. I was always kind of "meh" on motivational enhancement as a strategy, but it actually appears to be working for me ATM. I mean, I'd USE motivational enhancement (everyone gets trained in it these days and whatnot, it's the "newest" treatment of addictive disorders) but was always kind of meh. Not so much at the moment.

Now I will have to decide on a nice balance between achieving mah goals and going real slooowww so I don't buy stuff. Decisions, decisions.

Fighting the urge today after getting an email notification that a squonker I want is back in stock.... Obv if I buy it I can't buy just one and then I would also need a new RSA for each squonker. Must resist........

 

[stols001]

Good luck, Fozzy71! I'm confused, is there a reason you can't buy one? Are they sold like eggs by the dozen?

Also, my questions are entirely rhetorical, I'm sure you have a good reason like saving on shipping costs and whatnot or whatever. But either way, good luck

I have 2 mech squonkers so to keep things in balance I need to buy 2 regulated squonkers.

 

[Beamslider]

No purchases happened yet I have two RTAs to set up and a mod/tank to fix today, so there will be plenty going on.

Anna

Anna.....Finally the PO shows the eVic Primo 2 mods out for delivery today......

Not to bad for delivery time. 24 day or so

 

[stols001]

As long as it keeps your bank account in balance .

I am glad I don't formulate things like that, I'd have to go on a mad purchasing spree. Of course, you do have some wriggle room with "backups" there, if you are confident you will love them that much and you need an "exemption" code, but if I told my branch manager that, I am afraid that she would laugh at me.... Good luck

@jfcooley turned me onto this stuff back in October.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VHA3ZXQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XYv3zb3AKKSBE

The stuff is A-freakin-mazing. I used to use cotton yarn, cotton balls and cotton bandage gauze and the first 672,005 hits tasted like a fresh, clean, white... dishrag. This stuff has maybe a half dozen cottony hits and then it's all juice. They say 20 left in stock.

OK, what the big diff between Mugi and KGD ?

Muji's fibers aren't as aligned. I prefer KGD for simple ease of use, but Muji is easy to work with and gets the job done as well as KGD. Preference is the only real difference, tho Muji is harder to scottish roll due to fluffiness.

 

[Walter_Sobchak]

Again?

couldn't they find a way to throw a couple of trampolines in? Just one or two?

 

[Zutankhamun]

those needing a tap to the head.

Anyone in particular?

Thinking you might need a club for some of us.

 

[jfcooley]

At my mother's.
Claims vaping is as bad as cigs.
I ask her why.
She said because "they" say so.
I ask who they are.
On TV she says.

I then explain all the health differences now that I don't smoke.

Unconvinced she brings up Trump in an attempt to change topic.

I'm now about to go walk into traffic. Would have to be far less painless.


Hate coming home.

I can help with that.i'm going to avoid temptation and get everything in order this year.see yall next year.hope everyone eats enough greens and black-eyed peas.just need a little traction to move the house.

I would say JFC might need a bat to the head, but it would BOUNCE OFF his helmet anyway, and then I might lose an arm.

ALSO, I have NOTHING but sympathy given he's visiting his momma who is giving him grief for switching to vaping.... JFC you should buy all the mods you need during this difficult time. Try not to take that TOO literally, but yeah, I was so happy we couldn't "afford" Christmas with my mom as HER plan was that we would put the kid's dog in storage (okay, a kennel) despite my little brother bringing HIS dog, and that we would drive there and then squat in her basement for 2 days of Christmas "poo" as my sister and I call it these days.

She came to visit us instead a bit before Christmas, and we had a nice visit, and I was happy to see her approach... and happy to watch her drive away. LOL.
