Morning shinies

Hey Shinies, happy Saturday! Hope everyone is well <3 I've been slacking a bit on the handcheck SPAM lately but I'm hoping to make up for it with some non-vape shiny. I replaced my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 with a shiny new Z Fold 6 last week and it landed here yesterday.

Got it all set up last night and took it for a spin. I've gotta say that this phone is absolute butter. One of the things that was seriously wrecking my buzz on the Fold 4 was the hinge design. The timing on it was near perfect too, in that it started to fail within the first month out of warranty The hinge on this one is much more robust with less space for dust or gunk to get in and clog up the works.

The main issue with the Fold 4 is that it refuses to fold out flat now. This makes the crease in the screen way more noticeable. Everything else is fine, really. I'm in no way hard on my devices and the wear on it is negligible. It's always been cased and spends the majority of its time siting on a charging base. It's just that dang crease in the screen that really sucks the joy out of using it like a mini-tab as intended. The outer screen is pretty narrow, so that's really the compromise here. The worst is when you're streaming video and the actors' faces line up with the crease like so -

First world problems, I know

I want.

I want.

If you have something relatively recent to trade in on a pre-order, Samsung is heavily discounting them. I got mine for close to half off by trading in an S23 Ultra I was using as a second line. Go get you one

Good evening Shinies.

Good evening all. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend,

Been playing with vape gear all day. It was like a feeding frenzy on the classifieds today lol! I need to hire an assistant! But it’s been fun to deal with so many awesome vapers on here and other sites. Love this community!

I got vape mail yesterday again. It was a used black tomahawk squonker that I traded a Hellvape mod and attyfor. It had just been sitting in its box since I got it so it was a great trade for me.

Then I spent time cleaning several atties that I haven’t been using but had been sitting for a few weeks with the used coils in them. I was surprised how clean they still looked. I was almost tempted to just throw one on a mod and start using it but I’ve got so many different types of atties I want to use in my rotation I can’t have too many duplicates.

Right now I’ve been using the following RDAs on my squonkers in my rotation- dead rabbit v3 ofc, couple of reloads (beautiful attys) dr solo, THC solos 1.5 (really impressed with), I can’t recall the others off the top of my head. I’m tired. It’s been a long day.

But life is good even when it doesn’t always seem that way

More eye candy than convenient. Try living with cats and keeping the mod upright! First setups that just worked for me was the eleaf 30w/ kanger stm with .5 square coils and rbas both. Back then I usually had about 6 setups going. My first 60w was a bright yellow mod with 2 black stripes, can't recall the name. My uncle still uses my old eleafs, think he's has the last reliable one in rotation now. After that it was all about the therions until single 21700s came out. Can't remember half the tanks and rtas I've tried over the years.

I remember when you were really into the Theron’s. It influenced me into getting a couple. I have one left that I’m keeping for myself!

Is the Empire? I have an Empire skeleton squonker that looks like that. I find the hand feel somewhat uncomfortable with open ridges so I’ve only tried it a few times. I’m thinking of selling it honestly.

What do you think of the feel of that one?

I got a little vape mail. It’s a 50 pack of Gti coils from Sourcemore. I had gotten into the first 50 pack and figured I better get another 50. It’s tough having shinyitis.

Don’t we know it lol!

I got out the next two pods for review today. I’m seriously thinking about cutting back on reviews. It takes so much time to do each one. It’s not like I need more hardware.

New shiny stuff. Bought a load of store-bought juice. It is hard to take since I have a huge amount of DIY stuff but just cannot face doing it anymore. New Freemax Fireluke, a new Itank, and a Geekvape mod.
Someone recommend a good mod. I was into the Vaporesso Gen 200 for a while but I drop my gear and these did not hold up as they lost their magnets.
I am still using and loving my Lustros but need another. In the shiny mix below I have a Geekvape Legend that I hope is sturdy and will withstand me dropping it from time to time.

It's a huge job time wise. I struggled with how long it took me, and that was just for a SM review here and there. You have been doing these for years and doing such a good job of it. If anyone deserves to knock it down or stop completely, it's you.

I absolutely love it. It's my favourite 21700 squonker even with the funny fill port.

That is one issue with the Gens that I've noticed. However a drop of superglue fixes it permanently. They must use a cheap glue for those magnets.

I’d probably keep doing them for Sourcemore since it’s basically one a month and Hellvape sends stuff maybe 4-5 times a year. It’s one or two others that are constantly flooding the market with stuff every time you blink an eye.

same problem with the Asmodus Minkikins. I currently have a hair tie around my Gen. Maybe I will get out the superglue. lol

Honestly I don’t blame you. All those pods etc don’t sound like fun. I enjoy my vaping the way I like to vape. You do soooo many reviews when do u have time to sit back and enjoy your vape?!

Maybe if you just did a couple instead of multiple at the same time. Plus it’s A LOT of work writing up ALL those reviews after vaping the mods for a bit. Sounds like a pita lol!

Oh so it was the Empire! Mine is red as well. Maybe I should give it try again. Thanks. Now I’m excited to get it out.
