I went all in on GeekVape stuff (that's what has arrived as of a couple days ago, MOAR STUFF COMING): legend for desk, mini for out and about, and a rainbow Zeus X tank. Wishlist still showing a Berserker and an Ammit, and several somethings else, I forget. The MOAR STUFF is muji cotton, a job lot of flavours, nic VG, more VG, a touch of PG, scale for weighing, some other wires, cellucotton in case I like that better, and some other stuff. I got some cotton bacon to start, but either I am not doing it right, which is always a possibility, or it and me don't mix: I choked when I wicked with it, and do not choke on muji from the coil rebuild kit, so backing off on cotton bacon for now.
I don't get along with cotton bacon either. Does help to prime the wick regardless of type. After you've wicked the coil drip with juice while gently pulsing the coil. You'll see the coil pulsing pull the juice in. Do this a couple times and there will be little to zero break in. Have fun with your new goodies!

Thanks! I will make a note to do that. I have been wetting the wick, but not necessarily firing it after so much before reassembling the tank.

    I needed this thread today, and all the laughs it gave me. My kitten Abby is at the vets with a head injury, We're not sure how it happened, but looks like she fell from a height and hit her head on the away down.

    She's under vet care and treatment to reduce the brain swelling. Her prognosis completely depends on how bad an injury it was, and only time will tell if she makes it.

    The latest update I got said that her temp is back to normal - was at 22c, but no other improvements.

    Whatever the outcome - I've absolutely loved the past two months with her. I haven't laughed so many times in a day, as I have with her antics and character :wub:

    Oh, this is awful. I am so very sorry. She is a spunky little girl--may that help her pull through.

    Just realized you had a jpeg at the bottom. O. M. G. :wub:. That is one hot, sexy, fabulous set of wheels!!! If that’s yours, I am beyond jealous!

    Thanks for the kudos @NolaMel. Yes, it has been mine since July 2005 and is the newest Corvette that I have owned (the C1 Corvettes are my thing). It is a beautiful car and is a fun ride. But it draws far too much attention from classic/hot rod/muscle/'Italian Stallion' car aficionados and especially young groupies in this city. So it's kind of a PITA to drive in town, far more fun out on the open road. This 1973 'Elvis' Stingray Mako Shark started it's life in Vegas in late '72. I found it and had it shipped over 1000 miles back to Vegas. It got this custom bullet proof IMRON early 70's semi-psychedelic paint job when it was brand new (over 46 years ago). It's always been garaged and has been taken good care of all of it's life. So it's still near pristine, still roars like a tiger and by popular vote was selected worldwide to be Miss August in the 2006 International C3VR Corvette Calendar. These pictures do not do the 'ribbons' justice that have fine detail and many blended golds/reds/maroon/plum colors that stand out in the sun and draw your eyes to the cars body lines, high fenders, etc.

    A few more pics...

    I don’t even go to that site, as bad as sourcemore from all I've read.
    Do you guy's have issue's with sourcemore then.
    They've been real reliable in the UK.
    Had a bit of a bump in the road with 3f last year when they ignored all the double barrel mods they sent out that wouldn't accept a battery but the power of the people overcame that.
    Gearbest have generally been avoided for a while due to the poor choice of couriers they where using in the UK but sourcemore have been fairly reliable.

    Aaaah, really sorry to hear that, we lost one here too....we think she fell off a roof or maybe even got struck by lightening. Anyway, she obviously used up her 9 lives :(

    I hope abby makes it....but sounds like a ''think the worst until you know different'' situation......Chin up :)

    Good morning shiniest :) Sunny and 24 centigrade here....at last!!

    My second Billet Box came yesterday.....sooo whoopee :)
    Yep it's about 20°c and here in the south of England too.
    The weather is moving up now that winter jet stream has lifted. 25° by next week. Finally feels like a spring day. I cut the lawns yesterday which means window cleaning today. Shift some vg/pg, lol.
    I'm due another little kayfun lite sxk today. Got tired of waiting for sm to make some more and I've been using a genuine and sxk back to back months now and I can't find any differences baring the sxk has a better airflow grub screw.
    I've also got to tidy up all the digging the Fox cubs did last night in the garden and work out a way of getting a bowl of water under the shed with this warm sunny weather here.

    Looks like I'll have some new shiny to write a review on soon. Won the Vapefly Holic over in the contests section. No better time than the present to start writing again.

    Still waiting on my second box of flavoring. Kinda need that. Didn't come yesterday when it was supposed to, now USPS doesn't even have an estimated arrival day on the tracking.
