I want one. I don't have enough top airflow tanks (that would be pretty much zero I think) to know what they're like and etc., so it is on my list I think. It sounds rather pleasant.

Oy, more kid dramaz. Must be the day for it. I am getting zero accomplished but I finally coaxed the kid into bed so I MAY get to do yoga. Here's hoping.

Favorite quote by kid, "Why is life so hard? Why is doing the right thing... How do other people figure this OUT? I mean, I have more to tell you I drank alcohol I had when I came home so I could sleep. F it. I'm gonna go to an AA meeting, I don't want to end up like YOU.... I mean, no offense. By the way, can I come back if Granmommy kicks me out?? ":lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Case of Not Quite Thinking it Through, but it made me giggle.

Yeah, I wish I could skip the spectacles too, but I’m not a candidate for contacts, and I can’t see without glasses. I’d do Lasix but my eye doc says my eyes are getting worse at a pretty quick clip, so it wouldn’t last long. Maybe they’ll stop declining so fast, and that’ll be a good option.

And Mom is doing okay. I brought her some soup I made, and one of those things that sit in the window and wiggle when the sun is out- a little Frankenstein lol. Some kids never grow up.

So no yoga yet, apparently. Have lost count of the phone calls, this last one I told him to go load up a bowl of water with ice cubes, hold his nose and breath while he submerged up to his ears a few times and to call me BACK, it's the most effective non pill anxiety option I know.

I'm not doing so well on the Ricolas today, I must say. But OH WELL. Just got to get the kid to the point where my mom (on retreat) can actually CALL him and like, "the worst" will be over.
Just a friendly reminder:

I bought hydrotek stick on cheaters for my sunglasses.( They adhere with water). Cheaper than prescription sunnies, and I have changed them as my corneas “matured” to need a higher magnification. I had lasix 16 years ago, was AWESOME before my eyes stopped reading labels, menus, etc.... <le sigh> getting old sucks sometimes ;)

Not to be "that guy", but I fail to see the logic in buying a styled version of an already low cost authentic. The low cost authentics are great for the community and allow more people to pick up quality vape gear.

Like the Drop Solo above, why by a $8 poorly made know off when the authentic can be had for $26?
Digiflavor DROP SOLO RDA

Not trying to be a dick, just curious. ;)

I understand what you’re saying but I buy clones because I’m on disability and don’t want to spend that money on just 1 item when I can get 2 or 3 items for the same price. A lot of people agree that these clones vape just as well as the authentics.

My everyday glasses are small, which is why they weren’t great as transitions. The sun comes over the top, around the sides, just not enough surface to block it. The sunglasses are a bit bigger and fit more closely to my face. And those I can get away with using for 4-5 years. Still a bit of a splurge, but they make my life easier.

I’m far sighted, and wear bifocals. And developing cataracts. So, my prescriptions are unlined with prisms, and I need both regular all day glasses and sunglasses. I tried transitions, but they don’t work for me. Exam and all, cost me over $1100. I think that’s kind of pricey, but the optometrist is good. Better to pay a little more than go to the chains and not get as good service and quality.[/QUOT
I think glasses costing too much is universal. I use cheaters for reading (didn’t really make friends with bifocal contacts), but need glasses to drive at night (why, hello middle age :().
oh, by all means do! I use Aqua Dailies Multifocals because I hate cleaning them. Those are daily. They're about 100 dollars for the 3 month supply, lasts me a little longer because I don't put them on daily. They're great, if you never wore, be a little patient and get some extra liquid in the beginning.

I agree on the clones personally, there are times using them is completely appropriate and useful, and not every person can purchase original very high end devices. I think we all spend our money where we think it will do us/our vaping the most good.

My first three RTAs were Kayfun clones, and it turns out I don't much care for them, and if I'd spent the money on 3 originals (I will not dispute the originals may be better) I would NEVER have gotten to some ORIGINAL RTAs that I actually COULD afford, etc. There are other areas where I want to support a maker, or splurge, or whatnot.

But I do think clones are just an area where each person has to decide for themselves, along with where else they are going to point their vaping budget. I'd love to support every fantastic original maker who is producing magnificent things and I just can't always afford to. I'm happy to have prioritized two Kabuki originals because I love them, I love the company, and etc. Plenty of folks who vape differently might consider that a waste.

And phew, kiddo talked to the grandparent, she was disappointed but not angry, so he called in relief to summarize, ending in, "OMG, not going to lie, yes I feel better but I am going to go buy a PACK of cigarettes now.... Seriously."

LOL no "addiction issues there," I immediately thought to myself. Even though the kiddo quitting vaping was my impetus to start, I really wish he hadn't stopped, it's been so much harder. Oh well everything in its time, I guess, and place and etc.

Including clones.

All good, I was by no means judging just curious.

That’s what I have! About once a year they have a rebate if you buy a years worth. I think it was around $250 or so. They’re good for reading or tv, but cheaters can’t be beat for close up work like coils or soldering etc.

Thinking about getting one. Not sure if I'd like it any better than the dpro mini.
It is really a squonk RDA as there is no juice well to speak of. FT has the complete kit for $17 so you can mix and match top caps/drip tips/beauty rings. :D
$17.72 SR B2K RSA V5 Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 304 stainless steel / 24mm diameter / w/ BF pin at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

The DPro Mini looks to have a deeper juice well and the B2K would have much more airflow.
