Some Bacon Lips with that whistle?

I had a drip tip on mine that fit perfectly but that whistle was intolerable.

I added a DT extension to a Wasp Nano... with the RxW build in it the spit back was obtrusive. Pictured on one of the the two Pico Squeeze mods I took way back in their day on short wee hours of the night errand runs. They have not been used since though.

Can I ask how such a large setup can go missing?

I don’t think I took it out of my pocket myself so my best guess is someone else did :/

Might have been me doing something stupid though.

when people spend a big hunk of change on a mod I think the #1 concern is durability. This is why aluminum is better than zinc. Level of “shineyness” is nice too, but never at the expense of durability. This imho is why people drop such ridiculous amounts of money on stabwood stuff. It’s both pretty and durable. It’s so important that frequently the definition of beauty becomes durability.

Are you kidding?!! I’d be beyond ...... off if that’s what happened! Hopefully it’ll turn up. That’s a great setup. I have the similar but with the Supreme V2 not the Plus.

Oh you have no idea. My sister had to calm me down. It was a Goodwill though (I needed a disposable pot to melt tar in) so one should expect such things. Also I’m horribly forgetful so it still may be around somewhere.

Good morning Shiners!

Ahhhh there's nothing like an rda that doubles as an air fryer. The Vector RDA by VLS was the best lip scorcher ever produced. Every third hit of a chain vape session had you wanting to quit.

Fun Times!

Oh good I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thinks that! I was so disappointed when I tried it after all the praise about how flavorful it is. I tried so many suggested builds and coil placements. I really did burn my darn lips between placing it low mid high then almost outa the magma hole lol!!

I was underwhelmed by it, but I don’t have much rda experience, so when things don’t perform as well as I’d like, I default to thinking I didn’t build it well.

I’m tempted by that Vital, sure looks good. I’m very pleased with the Bunkers and Recurves though. They’ll be hard to top. And I gotta pay off my credit card. Maybe if there are any left after that I’ll try one.

Good morning shiners! I have no idea what's arriving when even with tracking numbers. One is showing tomorrow even though it's within a few miles of me today, another for Friday, and one poor package without a tracking number that will appear as if from whenever Santa can of off his fat ... and make a drive by toss for me. At least the Friday one is the Axial, so that will give me something to occupy mt time over the weekend, the today or tomorrow is only supplies and juice. And the package traveling black without any available numbering on it to help is the Biip from the Innoikn giveaway. All of which is sorta exciting if only the stuff got here.

I find it easier to order alphabetically the way it’s listed in my Flavor Stash on ELR. It’s simple for me to do an inventory that way. I had of thought of by manufacturer or profile but it just is less confusing to me this way. And anything that can cut down my confusion level is a good thing !!

What's ELR?

I think that’s the definition of frugal. Frugal isn’t about getting the cheapest one available, it’s about getting the best one you can afford, that’s going to last so it doesn’t need to be replaced repeatedly, and looking for the best price on it.

I think I’m pretty easy on my vape gear so everything seems to be holding up fine. Shirts, not so much. Doesn’t pay to invest a lot in those. Hence I put several times as much money in vaping than I do my wardrobe.

I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow. Going to be visiting my mom for mother's day and seeing her for the first time in almost 2 years.

The thing i'm having problems with is figuring out what mods to bring.

Definitely bringing my Orion for vaping in doors, as they all smoke but can't handle my DTL vaping.

Otherwise i'm either going to go 2 battery mods and bring my Hexohm with M25 and Topside Dual with Kali V2; or going 1 battery and bringing my EVM and Plug with a Venna and KRMA. Also should I bring 2 sets or 4 sets of batteries? Will only be able to charge in the hotel and i'll need enough power for my entire day. Also worried i'm going to burn through my batteries on the drive there and be stuck with none left until I can charge them at the hotel.

I don't know why but i'm having a hard time deciding what to bring and it's stressing me out in the same way it stressed me out when I was down to my last pack of smokes and only got paid the next day.

As for the hotel, we're actually going somewhere decentish. Going to celebrate our engagement at the same time. It's looking super hipster.

Ok I like the blue, grrrr.....
They are on the dovpo site now, but I didnt see the chip specs yet..

Curious about the carbon fiber plate listed, as in what's it for? Cover the screen maybe??

Tvc needs to do his presentation already lol.

Wow! That looks really nice!

Bring as much as you need to not feel stressed, and not so much it seems ridiculous. I don’t think 4 sets of batteries is over the top. I normally go through 2 sets a day at home, but expect to use more while out. I’d bring four, they don’t take up that much space.

Have a great time!

Ugh, apocalypse still says due today but tracking says "in transit, late arrival" instead of being at my local PO like normal. Hopefully it still comes today, need my shiny.

 

[Tralfaz]

How the vape though?? Clouds? Flavorful? Both? I love the look!

I can’t find out how to buy one lol! I registered but there is no Add to Cart option even though it says in Stock. Oh well. There is an Add to Cart for the Titanium one though- go figure.

It's great. It's basically the same as the Apocalypse but it has a barrel lock and a different engraving.

If you click "select options", you get a pop up window like this.

Maybe turn off your pop up blocker if you have one or try a different browser.

It does look pretty, but some more info is really needed. It sounds like it should be lighter with the change in materials, but we need a scale to know that. And yes, what kind of chip is in there and does it justify the additional cost (which we don't even know yet).

Are mechs still a thing? I'm looking to have a backup for my sole mod (mech). Left my other 2 mechs 2400 miles away. Regulated isn't so bad, but I really like the nearly bulletproof nature of a mech. As far as regulated goes, Jac Vapour series B looks pretty nice, and squid double barrel does too. I like high quality , but something that can take a beating like my Super T workhorse. I have a long overdue bout of shinyitis, that somehow I've kept at bay. I'm hoping to pair this device with a squape x dream, because, of course, I left my 2 RDAs 2400 miles away. Down to just my RTA, and because.. shinyitis.

Yes although not carried on all sites now.
Maybe start with where you are now so we can point you to a few sites.
You in the us, UK etc....

Squid DB v3 would be my choice personally. Small dual battery, duable, and decent support from squid. With the squape you'd get 2-3 days run time. Jac would be good if looking for lightweight pocket friendly.
