When I first got here, I felt like I had entered a foreign country whose language I barely knew. To think that now I'm semi-fluent!
Next comes semi-flatulent (in the literary sense, please, what are we, six?), followed by full on fustian pomposity.

It’s not often something WOWs me the way the Creek does. I hope you love it as much as @ShowMeTwice and I do. Next purchase will be the Tripod rta.

Yes I do love it and I can't wait till my squonker arrives. I have literally been using the Creek all day long. I can pick up so many background notes that I simply don't notice in most rda's. And with that chamber reducer fitted the flavour and heat gets really intense. Haven't even tried the other post options yet. As for the Tripod I do think it looks really good but being in the UK I'm limited to the 2ml version and for that price I can't justify it.

A mod by Vapergate that is a 'back to basics', 'no bells or whistles' type of mod, which is a huge selling point for me.. it does up to 80w and has three different charging ports: USB C, Micro USB and Lightning charging..

Plus it's quite good looking, and is getting very good reviews on its overall performance. The main drawback is the built in battery, although that allows it to be smaller than a single battery mod would normally be..

overall.. I'm really wanting one!

Well they sure covered the bases on connectors. Better than Apple does on their own products.

I really like my Thor mod. It's cute but I can't be all posting pics you know.

I am kind of a fan of Vaperesso, period.

I have spent some time learning about all the different types of benzodiazepines and their effects. Now, I want to punch my doctor in the head, REALLY. I mean, no, Valium is not STRONG OMG EXCEPT IT IS!!! If something has a half-life of say, oh a week, it really builds up in your system fast. I have given up MANY benzos and I normally do Just Fine but this one.... Well I read up all about cross tapering to clonazepam (which I totally have enough of) and clonidine (am also totally stocked there, thanks to my taper off um, suboxone, which is like the WORST thing in the world to taper off, ever. So I've got some dosing and timing recommendations and thank god for pharmacist sties. Man, pharmacists LOVE going on and on and on about meds, they are FAR better than docs in some cases if you ask me. SO

I will be starting that in about 15 minutes. I will see what happens. Here's hoping.

I could not ask the secretary if there was a covering doc because I did not want her to believe I was "having problems" but I AM and also, I may ask that question TOMORROW but I bet there isn't.

My doc nears retirement and like he says his population is "stable" and then goes on vacation and I will ask but I am fairly certain there is no covering doc.

Not that I would all like, ask him much, honestly. You just don't tell covering docs all your crazy plans because some of them get all antsy and commit you. I just may need covering doc (if there is one probably not) to like put me out of work if this goes south.... I guess if I bug secretary enough she can call my doc in Italy or wherever he is, and "authorize" a letter, most likely.

Still. There will be nuts kicking. Damnit. I am really just gonna go take this other stuff NOW and see what happens.

Hopefully yoga in an hour happens, is what happens.

Hell is all icy. That's cool I hear that freezing to death can be kind of peaceful and whatnot near the end. Burn victims consistently look MISERABLE.

Wish me luck. I need luck. I even bathed.

The extension glass is supposed to be available soon. Are you able to buy those separately under TPD regs? The niggling hangup for me is that it’s only 22mm. To me, that looks funny on larger mods. Well, that and the price! Funny how I can order an expensive mod without blinking, but an expensive tank makes me all nervous :lol:

No mail yet today to entertain me as I recover. I think all that might come today are the backup Hasturs from vapordna, but stiiiiill :(. Tomorrow UPS is bringing the Frenzy. Haven’t met a pod I can love yet, so vaguely hopeful. Currently, I just use a Flint for outings. Small enough, but sort of wimpy even for my usual low wattage tastes. You’d think with the popularity of pods, there’d be some winners out there

The whole TPD tank capacity issue is very strange and has been for some time. For the majority of the EU we are limited to 2ml. A lot of German companies simply won't sell high capacity tanks to UK customers now, especially InTaste and Flash-e-Vapor. But in Germany the RTA capacity regulation doesn't apply. And stranger still I can happily order any extension I want from Svoemesto but Creme de Vape in the UK will not sell one according to the disclaimer on their website. A lot of Chinese companies circumvent the regs by including larger tank glass like the bubble glass with the EHPro True and have the 2ml tank fitted, but online stores still list the capacity as 2ml or don't list it all.

And it gets even weirder the Brunhilde tank I bought from a UK store has a 8ml capacity but the EU version is fitted with an easily removable reducer to make it appear 2ml. Yet that tank won't even work that way when the mesh wicks are fitted. It's bonkers!

I very much doubt Atmizoo would sell a tank extension and that RTA is out of my price range anyway, very much like the Skyline, Hussar and Project X so I'll wait for a clone and I've already seen them listed as coming sobn. Won't feel bad about that because I supported Atmizoo by buying the Creek. And I hear you on the 22mm diameter problem but I mainly use mine on my mechs because they look really small on my Aegis Legend's.

But with expensive mods you know the specs and what you're getting. Tank performance can he subjective. Not everyone likes the same tanks because they do provide different experiences that are individual to the users tastes, preferences, juices vaped, and build selections. So an expensive tank can be a roll of the dice. Mods are more forgiving. Even if the feel in hand isn't 100% what you hoped for, so long as it performs to spec it's a usable device.

Of course if it breaks 2 days after the warranty is up it sucks.

Very true about tanks! I’ve probably PIFed more of those than any other vape gear. Fortunately, I’ve found I can pretty much count on liking a tank if @Opinionated or @AngeNZ do. Certainly takes the angst out of ordering ;)

I really like the Flint, but today I took it along for mowing. I was in a rush to finish and apparently the faster. I mow, the more I vape. Poor little Flint was out of juice and the battery was about flat by the time I was done.

I’m doing better at mowing though. Today I got it up to 3rd gear and didn’t flip it.

As I started reading that post my first thought was "Another lawnmower casualty". So glad it wasn't!

I don't really have to budget either although I cannot imagine saying that other then to reply to someone else's having said it. I spend all my real money on vacations and 3K purses so do not WANT to spend it on vape gear. I like clones and will probably not have a problem buying them when the OG is a ridiculous price.

So maybe I should have instead wrote that I don't have to budget for vaping (that is what I was referring to). Vaping is what I do now days, and I do it 24/7/365. So I treat myself to whatever I want for vaping no matter how much it costs. That said it's been quite some time since I spent over $500 for a mod, or $300 for an atty. My daily driver gear right now is all 'authentic', includes mods that are in the $75-$250 class, and the mesh atty's I prefer now run around $35-$75. I keep it simple, find something I really like and buy up a bunch of them while they are still available. As for the other stuff, I have been retired for decades, have no family left, have not cared about going on vacations for many years. And I no longer add to any of the many other 'collections' that I had pursued for decades.

Good morning shinies :wub:

I sent a message to sourcemore to express surprise that my 2 luna's had not been shipped. They emailed this morning with the tracking number....that makes it 6 packages on the way with one nearly at the door....i'm hoping that each package gives me enough time to open the one before....

Otherwise things could get out of hand :D Literally.
You're not trying hard enough. You should have a shiny package to open every day. Keep clicking that order button. :laugh:
