Good morning folks! :thumb:

The heat wave here passed last night dropping from 96f, with a heat index of 110f, down to 70f. It was awesome to finally go outside and throw the frisbee for the dog. She loved it. I'm stoked that killer dew point is gone [for now]. It's 73f now with AC off + resting and windows wide open. Perfect.

Hopefully this blows through for all of you and the rest of the country soon. I don't mind the heat but that super high dew point is what gets to me and probably you too.

That is very spooky. Until yesterday I had never heard of 'hair forks' and here you are chatting about them. I too have long hair that I have to wear it in a bun at work. Must get a couple or ten or these hair fork things......

I have long hair, but zero bun doing skill.



Ohhh...
I can help you both...

@Opinionated (and anyone else perhaps interested), Vapordna has the Silverplay on sale 50% off, making them $8 each. I bought a couple more for the stash. You know, just in case alllll the others break ;). It’s a nice daily runner for me... not too mtl, not too loose, and a breeze to build.

Well, it’s 85 here today, but still better than yesterday.

Yesterday, hottest day of the year, I went to my mom’s. She keeps it so hot in her apartment I was feeling ill. I brought her some bananas but they weren’t quite ripe and she gave me a hard time about that. It’s all the store had, and they’re ripe enough today, but anyway...

And I brought her some frozen cooked shrimp and cocktail sauce. She loves that and eats it whenever she gets a chance. So she asks me how am I going to cook it.

Mom. I brought this especially since it does not have to be cooked.

Well I don’t want to eat it like that! Can’t you grill it?

Yeah mom I’ll just drive it back home, go fill up my propane tanks, fire up the grill, and stand outside in 98 degrees and cook something that does not need to be cooked so I can have a heat stroke.

I don’t say any of that out loud.

I just said

Well then save it till you feel like it. It’s frozen, it’ll keep.

Then she says

If you make soup, you could bring some

I said

Yeah I do that when it’s cooler out.

Then she decided to eat cookies because well whatever, and offered me one. And as always, I declined.

I’m trying to watch what I eat.

Well why aren’t you losing any weight then? You’re dieting, you’re always so busy with the garden that you can’t come over, you should be skinny!

I’m gonna stop right there and say I did not kill her.

I know it’s the dementia- not that she wasn’t always passive aggressive - but dammit that hurt. I’m over there every other day for a couple hours. I cook, get her mail, take the trash out. I go to the store for her. I want to be kind because I don’t know how long we have. But it’s hard.

You're a good daughter.
Does she have any means of socializing or are you all she has ?

So proud, I actually took a picture.

Sadly I am having major flooding problems. I got no clue with that with top air atomizers. Less wick? Any thoughts? I just built it with the instruction manual because I was hoping I COULD. If not I guess it's video time (that's the V4 xvape.) Everything else was easy the flooding not so much.

Top air vs. bottom air doesn't make a big difference. Flooding you need more wick, dry hits less and thinned out wicks. It's the juice flow that's the issue not the air intake. Really the only difference with top air is if you flood the chamber it won't leak out the bottom airflow slots.

If it's a fresh fill it could be overfilled...can just blow it out into a tissue
It could also be not enough wick material in the slot (liquid to atomizer)
If your wick looks a little thin there, lift it up and add a pinch more wick and put it back - no need to totally re-wick.

Anna, I don't have that RTA but with flooding it is usually because you don't have enough wick in your coil. Try it with more wicking. If you end up with dry hits then you used too much.
Good luck and you can totally nail it!!! ;)
Love your new DB too. The colors pop. :thumb:

thought I'd try a different build in the bunker. not for the luna... going on the topside dual. staggered and fused coming out at 0.24. raised it up a wee bit. vapes great. top cap more manageable this time too. View attachment 827847

shoddy photos however
Your coil totally rocks!!!

Mine on a Hussar Project X (clone)...
IMG_0935cr.jpg

It's a twisted fused clapton 32gx3/40g ss316L from AVS. 7 wrap 2.5ID coming in at 0.7Ω. The vape and flavor I get from it is awesome.

BIG Bonus Points !

:lol:


...DH said I spent too much yesterday - and I got the Dani Mini 2 weeks ago...
But I bookmarked it, says he'll make to order... :D
Jealous about the dani mini, it’s on my must have list. What color did you get? Yay!!! for the artist being able to make one later. It’s a really cool looking comb!
