Had a day with the JuggerKnot and I like it, for me it's a solid replacement for the Zeus. The JuggerKnot holds 6ml in the bubble tank and 4ml in the regular ultem and glass tanks. It has top air like the Zeus but on the deck it's an angled side coil air only no direct botom air. Top cap pull up fill like OBS tanks and leak proof.

I have had it flood on me while filling but that could be my wicking, it basically has an Ammit Dual type of deck without the bottom air bits. This is another reason why I am a big fan of a JFC control, I am OCD about heading out the door with a full tank and top up attys quite regularly. tanks that have no JFC will usually flood if you fill before the tank is empty. A JFC adds more moving parts and more of a chance for seepage but there is no flooding during a fill.

The KRMA is a sweet little squonk RDA looking like a charm on the Luxotic with it's new ultem panels. I just need to find a build that will work for me since its a single coil RDA on a non DNA device... :yawn:

The Furyan never made the truck from Halifax so it won't be until Monday before I get to check it out. I was really looking forward to using it this weekend. I'll have the VLS prebuilt and ready to go for when it gets here.

Pics will follow when I get a chance. :D

I disagree mildly. I sometimes have to close off the airflow but as long as I have a tank wicked right, flooding isn't a problem. I don't touch the airflow on the Battlestars. After a little more than a week, I think I can trust the similarly designed Solomon (that one needs more conservative wicking).

If I leave the top off and open the airflow, then I might get some seepage. I'm not a fan of juiceflow control because I tend to forget to open it. And I kinda resent the design issue that requires the juice to be shut off.

I'm a high VG content guy. The minimum VG I use is 70%, with most of my stuff 80/20. I could play with that now--I gravitated towards max VG because I was doing the MTL thing with 12+ mg/ml nic. Less PG = milder throat hit -> more nicotine.

Still, very cool that we can go different paths and still get to vape heaven.

Holy goodness I just went and got cigarettes, but I'm smoking them this time. Life is currently, intolerable (it does not escape me that I could've gotten batteries for the cost) but currently in need of some tar, life seems somewhat intolerable frankly. It just... Is.

So I got through background paperwork number one, and I was like, "Surely, there can't be anything worse, really?" I mean, I, after some more counseling with my sister means I've opened a can of worms, kinda, but I mean, I can't lie. My first supervisor got back to me (such a win, I love that dude, he was like "use my cellphone, and yes, whatever you need.") LOL I was like, "Thank you, if we even MAKE it to that point," but I love that guy a LOT. He was an awesome supervisor. I sent him pics, since I've seen him on that provider website. I'm sure he'll be happy to see me and the kid, who was like 6ish and I always had stories.

So I finally I completed THAT part but there is a second background check some HR person sent, and like, HOLY GOODNESS, I've kind of given UP on this job, although I'm still trying.

a) it contains a polygraph test including questions like, "Have you ever shoplifted more than $5?" No, no I haven't but one time I forgot to pay for a watch from Target, and like, I didn't bother to go back in but planned to pay for it, does that count? I think it cost $13."
"Have you ever taken.... whole bunch of list of drugs follows," "List isn't long enough frankly."

I was pretty horrified but I guess later I read that "I" don't have to take a polygraph which is good as a) they indicate nothing and b) even if I did take it, ANXIETY LEVEL so high probably nothing would read. I'd spontaneously combust if they even started attaching leads, frankly. Those were SOME sample (adapted) questions, but I still have to answer them. LOL. They are also CRAYZZEE. (in my opinion).

I am also supposed to "bring my HS graduation certificate" (I have never, ever once like, had to supply that, I don't even remember what it LOOKS like.) Man, I emailed the east Coast lady about it (HS registrar or whatever) I have no clue how long that will take, not to mention WHY????

Anyway, like mainly they want to do a UA and a hair test. That goes back 3 YEARS. I'm going to have to get on this with the lady, frankly. I HAD to for oral surgeries (yes, I had a card, yes it is like, expired, yes I can pass a UA test, YES my license was on hold during that time so it was NOT EVEN a crime.)

But, I just don't get it. I mean, I have no choice but to email the lady, but frankly, it's humiliating. To be quite honest. Not to mention all the crazy references and stuff. I really don't think it will happen, although I'm still KIND of hopeful and WANT this dang job but DANG. I mean.... I'm not a habitual drug user I am IN RECOVERY and it's just.... GOD. I think employers should do blood tests honestly, that's the only thing that "more or less" has any hope of telling you what the person is doing NOW.

Anyway I'm done for the day and I feel TERRIBLE and I'd love a hug from the husband but he has like, decided I'm traumatizing him (pretty much I've only yelled BACK and as little as possible, honestly) and I need to "stay away from him," except when HE wants to get in my face. Man, I'd even take a hug from my mommy but she wasn't that great at them, and to be honest the nicest part of my day has been when I went out and purchased cigarettes. The attendant called me "sweetie" and I started crying. I am also doing that now, I'm PATHETIC, the worst possible outcome is that I don't get this job and all I can do is be honest, and my family has been super helpful and I talked to my little bro for ages. He will be in Tucson in two days. Which is actually pretty cool to be honest.


Okay, I'll stop now, I'm back home and I have the phone collected to my Bluetooth and trying to find that nice balance between songs I like and songs that don't make me sob, uncontrollably. LOL.

I am smoking "unapologetically". The husband is I guess, apparently "Quitting" and direfully talking about 'the last time he quit something he left the woman he was with." I hope he quits and I also hope he MAKES UP HIS MIND, cuz I don't much care ATM.

Of course the gas station attendant also told me "Things can change." When he asked how my day was, and I answered honestly. He also then told me, "Well, except for death and taxes, but with death you should see how they tax you THEN." LOL kinda like that dude, actually.

But yeah, if this is how the husband treats women when he "quits" (I don't think he will except maybe out of spite, IDK) I now understand the poisoning fears. I would never, of course, but anyone who acts that way probably SHOULD feel fear of poisoning because it's crossed my mind frankly and I'm pretty NICE. LOL.

Welcome to my sandwich....

Well I'll be. The Cylon I ordered Tuesday from eciggity in HI arrived today, a day early. In the meantime, some coils from AVS in Denver due today are now sightseeing in Seattle. I doubt they'll still get here by 8 pm as USPS still has posted.

The Cylon is actually quite nice. Had to get used to the menu system, but have it set up with the correct time and everything. TC is surprisingly good out the door. Turned the tcr down to 88 and it vapes real nice at 420F 40W. Essentially the same settings as on my DNA mods (other than the tcr tweak). For the price I'm impressed.

It’s a decent mod.

Be still my heart. Fast tech order actually, fiiiiiinally delivered!!! Of course I have no time to build either tank :(. And, why did I order ss wire? Does it last longer, or have better flavor? I don’t do tc... I’m sure my intentions were for a reason :blink:
I think most people forget what they ordered until it shows up because it took so long. Then it's like a surprise opening a birthday present.

So a lot of y'all talked about it, who ordered the pico squeeze 2?
Mehh... still thinking about it. I really like the idea of an Arctic Fox compatible squonker. I really don't like the fire button placement.

I like the looks and I'm sure it performs like an Eleaf.

I just don't see it being worth what they're askin' for it.

For single battery VW/TC squonkers, the Pulse 80W is the one to beat in that price range and as fond as I am to the Pico, I'd get another Pulse first.
