I found it is quite liberating to lighten up the stuff I was keeping. At first it was hard "Oh I have been saving this collection of antique Zippo lighters forever how can I possibly part with them" But the bottom line for me was if I am not using it or displaying it then it is not doing any good in a box somewhere. Saving for what? My next of kin to come along and sell one day?

I read an article several years ago about a Swedish book on Death Cleaning. You start at 50 divesting yourself first of things you don’t use or need. As you progress, you end up with just the essentials and a box of personal mementos for yourself that wouldn’t mean anything to family. I let the girls go through the piles of rejects (everything from kitchen, bedding, entertaining or tchotchkes etc), then donated what they didn’t want to the battered women’s shelter (including an embarrassing amount of new/almost new clothes, shoes and accessories). I have instructions for my memento box to be tucked in my coffin.

I wish I was as good at doing it with my vape gear. I did get rid of a ton of outdated, never use again stuff...but, I always worry that I might need it if the FDA finally drops the hammer.

Repurposed shiny day ... The Innokin VTR (some years ago) came in one these little cases, which I just happened across whilst moving some things around. I had a scrap of foam, so I rough cut it to fit a pipe bowl, atty+stem, switch, and batteries ... well protected travel case for my pipe:

Very nice. Always wanted one of those VTRs but never got around to it.

I have the Legend and it’s a bulky mod built for taking a beating it’s just too much foe me that’s why I’d be interested in the one battery mod.

I never thought of using it when taking a bath!!! What a FANTASTIC idea!!!!!!

I think some lemon oil and maybe a wax finish will really be impressive on your Luna!! It definitely doesn’t need sanding for sure.

Oh no the blue one and Celtic knot are gone???!!!!! Probably just as well for but I am watching the shiny steel one. It’s sooooooo pretty. Isn’t there another blue one or was it a 2.5.

The seller already shipped the items- that was quick!

I think I’ll use the Solo also as the mod I “garden” with or at least do stuff around the yard garage or basement. I’ve got some organizing projects coming up. I certainly won’t be bring a “delicate” to those areas. When is the Solo going to be released? Any idea?

Off Topic-how does one do multiple quotes lol! I never could figure it out. I mean I see the quote option but how do you do multiple ones especially from different people.

I’m embarrassed that I even have to ask this question considering I’ve been on here since 2017 !!

Did you see the Radius Provaris? They’re not tube mods and they’re pretty expensive- $355 I think I’d rather buy a stabwood for that money. No I know I’d rather!! I love my stabwood!

I’m going to settle down a bit on my spending. I may sell a few devices I don’t use. I’m just glad that when I was making 6 figures that I put A LOT of money away otherwise I’d be in deep do do lol!!

Have a great day

Just click quote under each post. Then on a post click on the "quote these posts" button (says something like that. You'll see blocks of quoted text contained by quote code that will look like this.

whatever they said

whatever they said

You type your stuff in between. Dint knock out any of those square parentheses, that's what allows the text to appear as a quote. The quote always ends with the backslash [/quote]. The start is longer because it contains the info of who you quoted and where the post was from.

If you typed your own stuff in between a plain

. Here is an example

it would display formatted like a quote.

Was that too wordy?

OK that worked too well. Make believe the round parentheses are really square. (Quote). (/quote). The stuff in between is the quoted material. Just put your reply between the (/quote) and the next (quote) not erasing the brackets and you're good. The square brackets are [. ].

The only P3s left are the diamond, the red soft touch, and the white soft touch. I can't bring myself to spend $235 on the diamond, and I'm leery of the soft touch finish, so I guess I get to save my money for something else.

The seller already shipped the items- that was quick!

Indeed! Though I'm even more impressed that my button-tops from Orbtronic got here in two days.

When is the Solo going to be released? Any idea?

My Solo shipped on Thursday. Don't know how long it will take to reach me from Singapore, though.

I don't use the quote button; I just reply to successive people in the same response. It's kind of cumbersome, but it works.

Yikes! I'd get a second Dani, I think, if I were letting myself spend that. Though what I'd really like is something from FyneMods. Somehow I think that dream will remain forever unfulfilled.

I'm in this weird position where I'm living on disability but I have a chunk of money in the bank. It's not enough to be of much use in a real crisis, so I figure I might as well spend some of it. I don't tell my mother or my sister, though; they're both tightwads and would wither me with scorn if they knew how much I've spent on vape gear over the last six months.

Have a great day

And you, Sara!

Tell 'm to go climb a tree. You're the one living with a disability, after all. They should be ashamed of themselves, picking on you like that.

 

[Eskie]

Amazing the resale value on the Provaris. I remember when they were closing up shop they were selling out, was it P3's I think, for about $40. The Radius was under $200.

It sounds like we’re both in same situation with being on disability with some money saved for a rainy day. Or vape gear!!

I lm bummed the metal P3s were bought except the Diamond. I bought one of the soft grips. I have no idea what that is lol! I’m thinking maybe like some Asmodus mods had a soft type finish and so doesn’t the Mirage. Hopefully it’ll last. I baby my gear so I’m hoping good thought!!

Thanks. I’ll play with it after midnight lol!!

My Holic that I won from Vapefly has officially landed in the US. Can't wait to wick it up and write my first review in a few years.

I've been curious about that one! Can't wait to see your write up on it!

 

[Tralfaz]

My box of juice showed up.

This stuff is delicious. It reminds me of a golden Oreo in some vanilla pudding. Their labeling is pretty accurate. I should probably just go ahead and order more now 'cause this won't last long. I've been fiending on it all afternoon.

Eh, it's easier to sneak. Makes me feel young again!

Repurposed shiny day ...

Update ... found some leftover pick&pluck foam in the closet, so re-did the case interior for a slightly cleaner look:

Oh, when I have time I’m good at purging. Really good. My stuff is no problem.

I meant to go through my husband’s stuff after he died, but my son and daughter had a falling out. I didn’t see him or the granddaughters for almost 3 years. He is just now trying to make contact, so we’ll see how that goes.

But I did not want to get rid of anything until the kids could get together and see what they want to keep. That man had way too much stuff for them not to have any momentos.

 

[DeloresRose]

the only regulated itch i feel the need to scratch is something from dicodes. most likely a dani box 21700 in black.
more than i've ever spent on a mod. if i sold my EVH bumble bee super strat (which i've been meaning to do for a year) it'd cover it.
my 2 year vaporversary approaches but not holding out much hope though.
evening all.

The dani are pretty slick, but I couldn’t even cope with a yihi chip. No hope for me at all with dicodes!

 

[Spydro]

Went to my mail place today and picked up a small 'shiny'...

Wotofo Profile Unity Mesh RTA #5 (my second one with the Gunmetal finish).

 

[Letitia]

Thank you. If I thought they were just too stupid to see that they’re inconveniencing me, I’d just say something. But they’ve already been asked.

If I went over there now - and I’m not afraid of confrontation- it would not go well. I would not be able to ask politely full well knowing they’re being jerks on purpose.

Still no sign of a cop. Looks like they’re packing up to leave. Gonna be a fun summer.

Call the police and ask if you have the right to have them towed at their expense.

 

[jim_87]

Need to vent. There’s a mowing company that cuts the lot across the street from me. This is a narrow, unlined side street. My driveway is 140’ from the cross road, and the truck and trailer they use could easily park anywhere away from my driveway, but ever Week (or two or three, whenever they get around to mowing) they park exactly behind my driveway. Effectively making it impossible for me to get with car or truck out.

Back when my husband was alive, he’d tell me not to worry about it, they be gone soon, but when HE needed to get out, he just went over and asked the guy to move. After a little argument, they finally did

Now though, they think it’s hilarious that I’m ...... off about this.

So I just called the cops. If I thought I could just reason with these guys, I’d go over and talk nice. But I know better.

I hate that it has to be like this, but I’m sick of this. My mom is almost 90 and had Alzheimer’s. If she needs me, I need to roll. Now. Not in 45 min when they’re gone.

Am I being a jerk? What else can I do? I never get a warning that they’re coming, or I’d just park in my front yard until they’re done. But it’s still not okay to block my driveway.

I hope the cop gets here soon.

By law, you have every right to call a tow truck. I would ask them to move it next time they do it. If they don't, call a tow truck, the expense will be on them. Same thing happened with my previous neighbors parking in front of my garage, it is about 5ft from the alley. They would drag their feet when I asked them to move it, I told them I was calling a tow truck, their car was moved in less than 30 seconds.

Guys I have a couple of questions please?

Is vaporrange chinese or are they based elsewhere...I want to order from them and i'm in France?

I've spotted some really nice stabwood sleeves for the i-care pod and that is the eleaf one isn't it?

It's a pretty good site vaporrange...i started by following the Luna link and then dug further and found lots more well priced goodies by asmodus and others

As stated, they are in California. I had a good size Asmodus order a couple weeks back. I ordered on the weekend, and on mid morning on Monday, they sent an email saying the items shipped. Another two days, and I had my mods. I would recommend them.

Charlie, I also found this info on their site:

If you are International customer and would like to place an order with us, please call us at 562-630-0888 during business hours or send us an email to vaporrangeshop@gmail.com. International customers have a flat rate of $39.95 for Priority Mail International shipping. Priority Mail International takes an estimated 7 - 10 business days.

Vaporrange finally got back to me and they are taking care of the issue.
