I was mystified, too. I think it has to do with sprucing up junky houses.

Often, people sell their house furnished before they move. Realtors say to do this because it hides all the dreadful blemishes and etc. that you notice, otherwise.

Remediating a house just means moving everything out, and restoring it to new.

This can (and has) been done by me and the husband on multiple occasions.

The first time, when we got tired of like, renting the house across the street from my mom and there were various ISSUES and like, well, I sort of bought a house without telling her because a) she lied and I knew she would NEVER sell it to us, and I wanted EQUITY and stuff, and also not to look at her front door every time I went out. (There had been serious STUFF too long to mention, forgiven but hard to forget.) I LOVE the house I am in now, but if I were to stay there, I would never leave its protective bubble.

We need our stuff in Douglas. And, (don't forget the husband almost burned it down, too) it is far from perfect. The master bathroom should really be set on fire, or made invisible, but even THAT can be improved.

Anyway, I told my mom I would return it to her like she bought it (she did not believe me and was quite angry as well, but it can be done.)

Keep in mind we raised a 7--14 year old kid in there. I kept it clean, but it was Not New.

By the end of week two (I took a couple weeks off) I think my mom was actually feeling GUILTY because there is NO paint you cannot match, and NO stain you cannot remove with the right cleanser enough times....

By the end we both bled enough that I was like, "Okay, I need not feel guilty any more" but then everyone knew we could DO IT and so it was, ah, requested on many occasions.

My mom's REAL house (not the one across the street) looked SO BAD empty (my dead stepdad had untreated ADHD and did stuff like Coffee Colonics) my mom begged us to do it.... And once again, we did.

My house is like half the size thankfully and there are jacked up things we will not be able to fix. But, we can do a LOT with what we have left. I'm just dreading it completely. The last real estate lady begged us to come work for her but me and my husband said, almost simultaneously, "We only do this for family." LOL.

It really IS the WORST.

I need a high powered squonker for my low dual coil builds. I don't mind picking something up low end, but between the pulse dual, topside dual, and LV Drone i'm not sure what to get.

I really like the Reload S. It's my go to recommendation for single coil non facebook lists/high end/etc I think. From what I remember (it's been a while), it's pretty similar to the recurve in performance. I liked the recurve but the finish and shape put me off, it looks and feels so cheap. Reload feels really good and looks really good.

Aside from tasting like the recurve, it actually has a lot similar to the entheon (aside from the Stanley Cup look). Has very similar airflow so you can squonk up to the top of the coils and not need to worry about it leaking out.

I'm very aggressive with my squonking and it's the only rda i've managed to never make leak.

Another bonus over the recurve is that it drips fine too. And the 24mm means it'll fit nicely without a beauty ring on pretty much everything.

I think $70 CAD is a fair price. But for whatever reason people go nuts over paying an extra $20 for quality.

Ya not much choice with dual cell squonkers – either buy into a proprietary bottle that may become troublesome to replace, or spend more on a LV or Rebel which also has reports of jancky battery doors.

But good to know about the Reload. Thanks for sharing.

Yep an empty house will show all its warts.

Didn’t think about the rebel. Not a huge fan of alumine but I need 120W+ squonking so bad.

Reverse Shiny. Took my brass vortex and cerakoted it antique white, distressed it with stealth gray and dusted the edges whith a shimmer blue. Its sort of shiny. Howdy everyone.

You could wait for the upgraded dual Topside now for release in April. Supposedly upgraded "premium" build materials and a Yihi chip. No idea beyond that info on it, but it's worth considering as it's only about three weeks from launch and I'm sure there will be specs out a few weeks before it's up for sale. Same setup bottle wise as the Topside single, and they're compatible with both mods.

Could add Boxer to that list of 3D printed dual cell squonkers as well. I don’t mind 3D printed mods if there are done right. Sketchy battery doors is not what I consider right….especially at their asking price. Not thoughts on the Boxer though….never really looked into one.

Was gonna mention the Yihi based Topside but @Eskie beat me to it.

Sounds like hell to me.

How do you pronounce iooi in first place?

I'm scared to wonder how to say the plural spelling.

I think it needs remediating.

I'm in love with the Rage, powerful enough to move big builds. I don't know about you, but it's enough for me, at least at this stage.

Again, why not the Rage? Works like a charm!

Wasn't it already released? I can swear I saw several reviews. I've been looking into dual battery squonkers for quite some time, and the only one I love is the one I bought. Rage. Sorry, going on and on.

Morning shiners. Vapemail delivery today.

Good morning all.

Surprised the hell out of the cat by getting up earlier than normal. She seems disappointed that she was not able to perform her usual get me out of bed for breakfast routine. Can ensure she will be changing her schedule and tomorrow morning I will be woken even earlier.

I'm in love with the Rage, powerful enough to move big builds. I don't know about you, but it's enough for me, at least at this stage.

Big fan of the Rage and contemplated acquiring another. Believe @dom qp already owns a Rage which is why I never brought it up. But yes, it’s an excellent candidate for dual cell squonkers. Good to hear you are enjoying yours.

Already got one:
