Double post, whatever sue me. Its shiny, well it's not, but it is a shiny. I added this to my need to get list and I think it moved to the top. Gonna start a savings jar for it. Always wanted to get a Kennedy but you know...money. I think it's high time I make an effort to get it.

You won't regret it. The quality is top notch and I'm kicking myself for not getting one before I bought my Brizo.

Due to the bottom airflow that isn't a beginner rda. If you don't consider that in your build you can produce something that leaks every time you drip.
I'm not saying it's a bad rda (which would be untrue) just that it isn't as simple as side flow bangers. Best to know exactly what you're getting before spending $100 then sit in a puddle of liquid and curse.

Btw what's all this talk about horses but no recipes?

Another shiny... now i'm officially done.

In the mail I have a black delrin plug, this new orange g10 pin stripe plug, a bolt with stab wood door, purple stab wood doors for the plug, and a guy in california making the stab wood for my final stab wood doors.

I went in with a friend to pick up this entire package. He paid the most of it, but my part got me the orange G10 pin stripe plug (on the right). So excited.

Allow me to pop your balloon: You're never really done. You might be done for today!

Good day all.

Crappy, cold and overcast here in Toronto. Perfect for staying in and binge on food, Netflix and e-juice and perhaps a cocktail or 2 (or 10!). Currently watch the qualifying for the Mexico GP. Any Formula 1 fans in the house?

We're also having crappy weather down here. I'm freezing in my spring clothes, had to fish out a cardigan and some long sleeve shirts. Weather here is very much like San Francisco, winters are relatively short, we mostly have mild weather (16 to 23 C) for 9 months a year. But this time it's too cold, I haven't turned off the heating yet.
We're more into gaming, rainy days find us playing something, e-reading or gardening. My tomato and strawberry planters are dying to get out, but it's still too cold at night, better safer inside.

LOL no time for contests any more.

Horses are SO EXPENSIVE. I have no clue why my parents bought me one other than the whole "Noveau riche" thing. My mom made it so, my dad muttered darkly about like, "hobbies that eat."

I truthfully the only desire I have for a horse is when I become Joan of Arc for the vaping ban and ride up that long grassy stretch to Congress or whatever that building is called. And I plan on stealing one because I am fairly certain that I will be dead or jailed by the end of that protest and horse stealing will be the least of my worries..

LOL, I love that the husband snuck it in though, as if 28 acres isn't ENOUGH to worry about as it its, as if it would be some sort of motivator for me to allow him to own 28 acres or something. I will not be the one stewardessing it , let me put it that way. He'd have had more luck with me (although he got 100% luck anyway) letting me know he could own one of HIS dreams like a tractor.

Really must go shortly. God, I am TIRED. Yoga must be done.

I would have loved to ride. I was born with congenital bilateral hip displasia, so that was on the nono list, and I could never get someone to teach me how to ride legs on the side (more dangerous but still valid).

Howdy, havent been on for about 24 hours. Halloween stuffs with the toddler here. I've been walking around gathering candy in the cold rain for the last 2 afternoons. It's for the kid though, he loves that kind of stuff. Oddly though if theres a choice of a little toy or chips instead of candy he will take that instead. His aunt gave him a little baggy of fruit today and he was super excited to eat his apple and banana. Kids weird lol. Gimme that chocolate! I'm glad though, with the wife being diabetic we all limit sugar and unneeded carbs. Keeps her alive and me healthier win win.

I've skimmed through the last 7 pages and the only thing that stuck is a drink with clam juice in it... Just give me a 4 finger scotch or some whiskey with sours, and syrup or syrup, orange bitters, lemon juice and more whiskey. A good glass of disaronno works too. Hell gimme a yuengling or rolling rock too.

Vape mail came today, got the nibs for my fountain pen and glass for my smm serpent. I dont remember who was asking for pics of the build but I forgot...I went back and referenced Matt's video on his rta and built it to his standards and it seems to be ok so far.

The SMM is a greatly underappreciated atty. The shorty type, the raised airflow, I love the little fellow to death..

Nibs are always a great idea. I got one of my Pelikan 400 nibs turned into Itallic by a local nibmaster. My flashy, girly pen that I love so much! What pen are the nibs for?

 

[FranC]

I really freaking hate how my having less time makes me exponentially more organized and I do things faster. If I could do this sort of thing for MYSELF, I would OWN the world. Well, be at that Steve Jobs level, etc.

I have done MOST of the stuff scheduled for tomorrow, today. I MEAN. I now know when every med next needs filled. I have a grocery list and a shopping list AND I did yoga, AND cleaned all clothing.

Pretty much all that is left is like, shopping. Which is such a novelty I am almost looking forward to it. Thank God the provider I share an office with doesn't mind a full spectrum desk lamp (also on the agenda for tomorrow) because the building was an old cancer center of some type and it's mainly a bunker, they had to boost all the internet signals. Not so much light in there due to radioactivity and whatnot.

LOL, am just actually killing time waiting for my little sis to call. I could be rewicking some ego one coils, but lets face it, I have done ENOUGH.

Good to hear about Old Navy.

Anna

Sounds all good to me

Good morning Shiny's. Fur babies eyes are starting to open. Can hardly wait.

Reassembled the pharaoh mini this morning and installed an AVS four core fc. Will wick it up after work and give it a go.

I think you are going to love the mini, it's one of my favorites.

 

[Letitia]

I know, your comments are what caused me to take another look. The OG pharaoh had so many complaints I didn’t pay much attention to the mini when it came out.

 

[Eskie]

Good morning shiners! I have the full size Pharoah and have to say while it's not my usual style tank I was really pleasantly surprised how good it can be. Sure you get clouds, but with the single coil clamp deck and a large coil I get very decent flavor. It just so damn bulky. Hope the mini performs as well and is certainly sleeker than the original.

Uggghhh....again I have missed so much but cannot bear to try to catch up. I am on an IPad, but I identify with a desktop so everything is hard. I broke down my desktop around October 12, I am in my new rental house in Georgia and am happy to find it is bright and airy and has good energy. That is a plus because leaving my beloved Burbank CA to come here to Georgia was pretty depressing. Both cats and my dog made it safely and for that I am grateful. It has rained everyday since I have been here and I got here on the 17th. Big Uughhhh. It only rained once in the last year I was in California and naturally it was the day The loaders came to pack the truck.i have a question. My Miniken topped by the original Zeus, single coil, has a tendency to keep firing long after I have let my finger off the firing button. Anybody have any idea what causes this?

 

[stols001]

Ugh. Sticking to 5 a.m. schedule and not much to do but like shop and etc. I still woke up with this vague sort of free floating anxiety I have regarding waking up and doing things "on time."

Now I feel "at home" man, and like, going UP will be hard. .This is gonna be weird for awhile.

Played with the Mi One, with the right juice I think it could be stealthy but I don't need that. No pics, sorry.

Recipe for horse: turn into me as a 9 year old loving horses. Move to France. Go to a fancy French restaurant and your brother is going ON about loving his DISH. The entire family eggs him on. You, thinking, "My older brother is being strangely nice to me," take a bite. The entire family then tells you it is horse. You start crying and run to the bathroom and try to puke it up.

I can't remember the braising method or the SEASONINGS it was traumatic. But, I hear horse is delicious, under the right circumstances.

God, my family was mean sometimes. Not ONLY to me but fairly OFTEN. LOL.

I got a pod win here now, and it is the Mi One. I was figuring it was my OTHER win, the vapefly Galaxies RDTA but it's not.

I feel bad for not even doing much but opening the lid going, "I bet that is super easy to deal with but I am TOTALLY fried." I wouldn't have done much with the vapefly either my brain hurts.

I still want it, for future purposes. LOL. It's just I've been doing everything here and am about to do yoga and I filled a MED BOX for the first time in a couple years (totally hateful, totally useful) and frankly I am not equipped to do much more. Oh, I paid bills.

So I could take a picture of my med box it is NEW but like, uh, it's also boring unless you are the one USING it. Etc.

I am going to attempt to get 2 Weeks of business casual up there tomorrow and that might invite purchasing. So, not to derail the thread, but like anyone know a chain that caters to the terminally short and skinny without like, having dancing unicorns on the pants? I can't buy from Walmart (usually, I did this past week but it appears to be a fluke) plus like, Target here carries nothing small enough I am thinking maybe Old Navy I want some grey and some green pants and some boring sweaters, also cheapish?

Also, I am "home" and it no longer feels that way. I am officially a resident of the apartment in Sierra Vista, and like, I LIKE IT. Although man, winters gonna be COLD. I don't mind.

The husband wants to buy 38 acres in St. David (super cool town) and put a new manufactured home on it. I am not opposed. He tried to talk me into it by telling me I could "achieve one of my dreams, own a horse." I was like.... "Dood, buy the land if you want but I already OWNED a horse as an adult (2 actually) and I got rid of them because they are TOO MUCH WORK. Since you are scared of horses, I assume we won't be doing that and/or someone will have a dead horse on their hands." LOL one or the other.

Anna

If there is one in your area, TJ Maxx is your friend for clothes. At your size, the junior section is also cheaper. They receive new shipments twice a week. Name brands at discount prices. My wife and all her friends are addicted to that store.

Ejuice or some kind of debris in the fire button. Get some isopropyl alcohol and spray some around the button. Let dry completely (overnight or better) before trying again.

 

[stols001]

I wish I had time for TJMaxx or Marshalls but around here juniors is super skimpy and most of the over stock is in plus sizes. Thanks for the suggestion and if I had the time I would go there first. Maybe after if I don't find what I need at Old Navy.

I guess I could wait and find the stores in my new location but there is an equal obesity problem, although it may be slightly less. IDK.

Due to the bottom airflow that isn't a beginner RDA. If you don't consider that in your build you can produce something that leaks every time you drip.
I'm not saying it's a bad RDA (which would be untrue) just that it isn't as simple as side flow bangers. Best to know exactly what you're getting before spending $100 then sit in a puddle of liquid and curse.

Btw what's all this talk about horses but no recipes?

I'm up for a challenge, I don't own any rdas that are similar to a kennedy 25 but I'm no stranger to the wick and wire dance. I've been perfecting my rta wicking lately. I messed up and started building about a year and a half ago on an rta, didn't like it, bought a few rdas to drip and squonk, and I've been digging rtas again as of late. I'm getting close to the perfect vape with my rtas. I wont waste so I use the current build until it needs love then I tweak it. Probably why I've been using the same bag of cotton bacon since January. I still have another, then a bag of puff cotton squares after that.

Also I feel like my matte black dead rabbit would look killer on the black cerakote vindicator as well. I can always resell the Kennedy 25 pretty quickly for only a small loss if I so choose to. Which I doubt I would.

 

[untar]

Just make sure the coil isn't too close to the airholes or the center line and that the wick is well away from the airholes as well then you should be fine. You'll maybe swim in juice just once

Yes, I forgot how much I liked the smm even having it over wicked before I knew what I was doing. I've had the the little thing for quite some time. After having an ah Hah! moment, I fell in love again. It's short, compact and looks great and works great. My toddler found my pen, hes the stabby stabby kind of artist....so my Pilot Metropolitan needed some love. Did research and found out the pilot 78g gold nibs fit the feed of my $15 metro. Happy discovery. I'll be sure not to leave any of my pens on my desk again..up up and away they go.
