Well on the Biip topic, I just did my 5th refill and it seems like tipping it 45 degrees with the gasket up and going slow does seem to keep things dry. That really is my only issue with it so if this works, I can live with it. Another reason to get those 4 ml pods out on the market. Reduce filling in half.

Does anyone have a zlide yet? My big beef with the Zenith is the inability to disassemble for cleaning and the new one lets you break it all down.

I'm sitting on my hands now until the Topside Carbon is out and I can see what the actual retail is going to be. Well, that and memorial day sales that are only a week away. I'd feel silly ordering anything unless it's amazing before that.
I have the zlide. The plus is it can be disassembled. Minus, it’s only 2ml, 22 mm; and, it’s slightly tighter than the zenith. It’s enough tighter that I set it aside for use with a tiny stealth mod. I still use the first zenith I got when they were released on a Aegis for dangerous duty days. It’s fallen off ladders, the roof, 28’ deck... no cracks. I’m pretty sure not being able to replace the glass isn’t a problem, since I can’t break it. I soak and rinse, then let dry overnight.

75 at dna.
Code dna10 or app10 gets 10%off. FedEx 2 day included but takes up to 48 hours to ship.

Good price. For my use a dual Topside isn't even necessary as I'm rarely over 45W (40 and under more common) with a 40T have plenty of power to run all day and almost the whole 10 ml squonk bottle. I'm only looking at the Carbon for the rare times I want to go higher and for the hope it's a decent Yihi chip so I can vape in temp control. Otherwise the single 21700 makes more sense, at least for my style of use.

The only way I found I can really clean it out for a juice change is in the UC. Which would be ok but it's knocked half the paint off. Being a bit tighter wouldn't thrill me, it's already tight as it is. It's another one of those on a tiny mod for a pocket when out and about too.

At least the OG Zenith is easy to fill even with a dropper.

There will be people it’s perfect for, just not me. I have shorter tanks with the same capacity that are better for a small pocket setup. And, having teeny tiny screws to keep up with IF I can see to remove/replace... It just doesn’t fill any needs for me.

I just finished browsing at FyneMods and Limelight and had to close both tabs I had open or I may do something I regret later.

Really like and have shiny, and loving, BIG eyes on this Pylon walnut mod Limelight Mechanics | Pylon Walnut but not now.

It being a holiday weekend, and stuff being 10% off at CanVape (code: VICDAY), and them being really nice about sorting my errors on my first order with them, I tacked on a clearance-sale Ammit RDA and another Zeus X to give me three rebuildable decks for DIY mixing. And, y'know, vaping stuff. NEEDS, these are NEEDS, I tells ya!

But no lie, it's been a pricey month for me. I will have to call it quits on ordering things for a while.

And here is the little baby I rescued from the trailer park. We have now moved from completely in cage to free roaming the spare bedroom. I did not want to do this too soon as she is very skittish and I felt she would hide from me. Still has swinging boobies, like a momma cat. The vet says it will go down eventually. I have to socialize this girl enough to get her off to adoptions. Some time in the future. First I have to teach her to trust. I took the cage off the table and put it on the floor, I covered it with a blanket, I made her a window seat, basket/bed and I left the cage door open. Shut the spare bedroom door. Came back 30 minutes later and she had pulled the blanket off the cage, left the cage and was lounging the window seat. She did not run and hide. Much different than the last time I let her out of the cage 4 weeks ago and she disappeared under the bed for 24 hours until I forced her out. She still hisses a little bit but it is almost comical because she puts her head in my head to pet her as she hisses. I wonder if she thinks hissing is a greeting? The little hisses are so mild they would not scare a flea. She will not survive back at that dog eat dog (cat eat cat?) trailer park because she is far too meek so that is not a solution for her and will not happen as long as there is breathe in my body. She is also not a good candidate for the Petsmart adoptions as she is not social. Going to be a hard one to place.

Man. I did not to yoga. I went in this long anxiety shinitis spiral around the web in search of things I didn't need and then I asked the husband what HE was doing and he said, "paying the bills."

So that snapped me into sanity and I spent a long time rewicking tanks that needed it and rebuilding my Ammit. I have discovered what to do with screws tat fall out for me) and it involves a square of electrical tape, and that is what happened with the Ammit.

it wasn't even the correct screw actually, one was a phillip's head and the other one of those star shaped ones but I was like "F it, continue" and it's not leaking. I can't tell what is happening with it quite yet, but at least it's not leaking. I do not believe I did the best wicking job of all time.

I rewicked my true tank that was flooded with Twilight, and like, you should have seen the wick. It was not inside the coil even a BIT. Twilight tastes like what it should. now, which the best analogy I can think of is like, it tastes like a Calvin Klein add-- dark, moody, androgynous. LOL I should offer to write for Chef.

I am just too sketeched out to do yoga, so I am gong to take BENzOdiazepine and SWALLOW it, so I can get through my evening. Maybe even give the husband some marital happiness he sure deserves it.

Clothes are clean. I'm good. The husband leaves tomorrow and everything inside me wants to yell STAY STAY STAY but I can't.

I mean, I am a grown adult. I need to remember that and not cry in any meeting this week, unless I adjudge it advantageous to whatever meeting I'm in, but certainly not by accident. My head guy sort of.... Well I'm not sure he likes a crier.

Nervous. Did I say that?

I just bought a Provari 2.5. Purple.

Grrrrrr

I just got an email from Ebay. Never had one like this before.

Let us help you find an alternative
This item is no longer available:
Provari...2.5.. ...purple Satin .. LED red ..NEW

It's like they're taunting me. Ha Ha You had your chance and you blew it.

Then when I clicked on the link for them to find me an alternative they gave me a listing for replacement coils.

I don't blame you personally for this Zazie. :-x

Actually I've got enough Provaris or I would have grabbed it. I did order something else this morning. I was looking for spare STM parts. I found STM's for $15 on Ebay. That way I get a complete tank with 2 glass, an RTA head, loads of orings and everything else, a lot cheaper than buying the parts separately. Got a couple of them. Not as exciting as a Provari but useful.

Oh I have been training that man behaviorally for weeks. I was actually nearing my last intervention. This is not the first time I have been screamed at by that dude, it did not bother me a bit, it seemed to be (for him) a necessary evil to get through to the next "step." as it were. It was just unfortunate the head of the clinic overheard, and was horrified.

But I couldn't say: "Please ignore that and proceed, I have been dealing with him like a wayward toddler the entire time I've been here and I am SO CLOSE."

It's a primary care office. You can't admit that you like, are behaviorally training your coworker as if they were a small, petulant child. It's a primary care office, dude, they already think I have some deep dark voodoo magic sometimes. LOL.

So yeah, I had to undo weeks of training and let it all fall apart.

Although honestly, I'm glad I found out about the lying. You can train a dog. You cannot train a dog with rabies. At some point, it will bite you and kill you.

So, when I get asked about "Training" if it comes up, I will frame it as my "how to get along with a coworker you have conflicts with" generally, not "I gave him treats" (complements, and acting ditzy) and "negatives" asking him to do stuff , and "extinguishing" (ignoring the abusive behavior in hopes of extinguishing it.)

Fortunately he got so mad at me he forgot others were around. He was no happier than I, TRUST me, especially when his lying was exposed. You just don't do that in healthcare, I mean it happens. It shouldn't.

I just rewatched Mike’s video about the single Topside. You can go to Dovpo’s site and download TC for it. Not sure if that’s an option for the dual. Of course it’s not yihi... for me, that’s not a con.

FO4 was disappointing in so many ways. I'm glad I passed on 76. What a shartshow.

Oh, Happy Sunday shinesters. I'm heavy into that Sadboy Shamrock Cookie today. It's fully grown on me.

The Occula is pretty dang good, too.
That drip tip seems to look good with anything it's put on.
