I call "BS" on the money saved

Lol, rough estimate of money spent on mods is around $500.

Guessing at rdas, stuff bought and sold I'm still well under that total, if correct at 1 1/2 ppd @ 4.58 a pack.

IF I had to, I could just buy wick & wire now along with juice and be miles ahead.

My wife and I find it nice I no longer stress about having cigs handy, having to stop here and there.

Still feels odd to go into a gas station and not buy a pack .

Weird isn't it? I went into a gas station awhile back and it was the first time I had been inside one in quite awhile.

Been using readers for the last 3 yrs and last week the Doc mentioned the "B" word. Yep. Bifocals. She said it's a matter of time. I hoped when I married a wonderful woman who happens to be 13 yrs my junior that I would start going backwards in age. So much for that idea.

Cradle robber eh?

Who?

Rock band that did Tommy the rock opera

 

[Walter_Sobchak]

Cradle robber eh?

I was fortunate. I found a lovely lady with bad eyesight who's ability to judge character is lacking. If she ever gets glasses I'm screwed.

 

[jfcooley]

Cradle robber eh?

I did. Beat him by 1 year.

However my wife is far more mature than I could ever hope to be.

 

[Coastal Cowboy]

Are we talking actual chronological ages here? Or real ages as in the way we act?

I haven't acted my age since I was about 18. My wife's the grown up.

 

[jfcooley]

Well I was speaking chronological.
As far as maturity, only kicks in when I am at work.

No. I saw it originally posted and by whom. I have found that particular OP a little challenged in the past so avoided that thread .
Read the last page and am very happy I did .

 

[jfcooley]

Holy crap.
I did reply. Completely forgot .

Eh....sorry.

Didn't follow it though.

I was overwhelmed with it all. I had no concept about how ohms law worked so I asked questions and watched videos. There is so much help available to people on these forums. They just have to take the time to read. Read then ask questions. Repeat

 

[KC0YNU]

someone has smilietitis

yes, yes I do lol

 

[jfcooley]

That particular topic is one that the OP struggles with.
Cloud chaser, dunno if he's admitted it yet. Well and good, but I honestly wouldn't want to be around if/when he builds on a mech.

@Letitia The Crius II is up and running. I'm currently using the included Ni80 coil, although I think that might be a mistake. Has anyone noticed a metallic taste to the vapor using Ni coils? This is my first and I'm noticing a distinctly metallic flavor. The AFC is better on the Crius II than my EXO (I'm now wondering if there is something wrong/missing on the EXO, but I'll have to go watch a tear down video and compare my own atty to it). Sadly, I like the draw to be a little tighter than DL, so my sweet spot on the AFC causes a whistle. I currently have it set a little looser than I would prefer to avoid the whistle.

So far, the flavor is far better on the EXO...however, I think I should try a SS coil in the Crius II before I declare that as a certainty (By the way, I'm using the same juice in both the Crius II and the EXO as a flavor control).

I also have not experienced any mystery seeping/oozing from the Crius II (yet ).

Notes about being a rayon wicking noob: 1) I feel like the world's worst barber trying to trim down the tails and keeping them even. 2) Lots of little fibers are floating through the air in my home after my meticulous marathon tail trimming sessions

Glad you have them up and running. I haven't had any seeping or leaking either in Crius using KGD or egyptian. No experience with the EXO, but know it is popular. Get a lot of fibers with egyptian cotton as well, not so much with KGD. Fatter coil will help a bit getting a tighter draw in Crius, might also help with the whistle.
I used to like Ni80 until I started using ss, now I'm not wanting to use anything else. Took me a couple of days to get used to the kanthal coil in the Fireluke. Will use ss when I get around to using the rba; actually pretty pleased with the drop in on my third week and wick is barely discolored. Impressive even at my lower watts.
