75 at dna.
Code dna10 or app10 gets 10%off. FedEx 2 day included but takes up to 48 hours to ship.
Thanks. But I want one of Vaporrange's ridiculous deals, you see.

In any case, I've already shelled out a hundred bucks on squonk mods, and it would be nice if I could hold off spending more till I know whether I even like squonking.

I am very sensible.

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.

I installed the updated firmware back whenever, but it's not a star performer with the base chip, so I use it in wattage only. It's still tough to find mainstream chips that do TC well, although that's been improving in the last year or so. The Yihi "should" be far more competent, but all the details aren't even out so it's still a we'll see situation.

Initially I was going to get a Drone with the dna 250c chip which is terrific for temp control, but there are 410 leaking issues and questions about the squonk cutout and whether I can really use it without knocking the battery door off. Which is unfortunate as that was my plan before this special edition of the Topside dual was announced.

Absolutely. Make sure you like it first. Then I have little doubt you'll be scrambling for squonk stuff all over the place like the rest of us, but why rush the insanity of it all.

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.
She is beautiful! (And, my goodness, she looks young.) I'm so glad you have her. She is a lucky girl. You will find the right person for her, I'm sure.

I honestly can't see myself not liking it once I get the hang of it. But I think jumping the gun and getting two before I know for sure is rash enough for this month.

I have sensibly spent about $150 in the last couple weeks on squonking setups. I could have held up around the $50 mark, but there were great deals and I came down with a bout of shinyitis. I guess we're both betting on it being fun!

And here's hoping we put our money on a winner!

They're still sizing you up, where we know it's true!:D

Yeah, probably. I have always found those claiming to be "white witches" to be the worst of the bunch. I'd rather stick pins in some doll than put a curse on my kid. Who does that? Some crazy mommy, who like read some book. Her kid believed it. She called me pretending to be the aunt, and was like muttering stuff in between.

LOL the kid believed I was doomed. I told him, "I'm super sorry, but my personal creator and sense of safety are no match for that c-- censored-like, wh--censored word, bi--censored excuse for a parent you have. Plus, she sounds completely horrible, if anything I would enjoy dueling her in person."

My life has only improved since the hex. People need to curse at me more often.

Of course, I did get lots of battery bait today from that nutter who like, thought we wanted to see pictured of the burn on her rear end..

IDK. I didn't look too close. It might have been why the dudes were all being nice, who KNOWS. I can smell crazy from a mile away now.

Step two: Learn to stop it from heading at me directly.... :D

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 had my eye on that drone, too. Let me know if you hear anything about those issues being addressed. I’m not buying it if I have to fix it but if they can modify it I’ll consider it.

I also looked at the Vicious ant squonk, but I’ve heard a couple of those have crashed and it didn’t sound like the company was stepping up to fix them.

Personally, I could see buying a higher end mod if it had stellar reviews, but I’m getting along fine without the fancy chip. I’d rather have simple stuff that works.

I took to it like a duck to water. Maybe it will, maybe it won’t be your thing, but you’ll never know until you try. And it can’t hurt to have a squonk just to round out the collection.

I’d have to go back about 1,000 pages to see when I got my first. March? Now I’m awaiting #6.

How much of a pain is it to refill the Luna's squonk bottle? It seems like it will be a messy business.

What, did you get a 3 as well?


Yep the blue and a silver mini lol!! Now I have to learn MTL lol!
Actually I did MTL for 2 months before I went DL but the only attys that might work are the ammit and oh well maybe that’s it.

The P3 goes to 0.5 ohms which is more my speed. Tbh I’m a bit excited about these. Something different and mostly new to me.

What are you planning on using? You got the black one right? I wonder what else she had that we missed!!!
