Dicodes-USA has them. I don't know how their prices compare to others though. I've purchased kayfun's and spare parts from them. They're a solid company.

Dicodes - Mods & Accessories

They’re more expensive, I think. My mini including shipping from Squape was $256

edit.... they ship so fast it could be coming by jet drone. You do have to sign for it

I was actually fairly depressed about coming home at first. "Depressed" is an exaggeration but I felt sad. I got on the final flight which is a 9-passenger Cessna which flies from Boston into a small (tiny) airport in the Adirondacks (there was only one other passenger LOL). It was cloudy and we were above the clouds. Really pretty. I closed my eyes for a while, and when I opened them and looked out, the clouds were gone and we were flying over Lake Champlaign. I looked out and saw very little civilization. Lots of coniferous trees and patches of golden Tamaracks. Lake after lake after lake. Then - uncharacteristically - the plane flew within a stone's throw of the summit of Whiteface Mountain. I could make out some of the alpine vegetation we were so close.

And I stopped feeling sad at that moment. This country is amazing. So many different types of beauty from coast to coast. Then seeing my family was the best feeling ever. There's something to be said about stepping away for a while. Really makes one appreciate what they have at home I live on a beautiful lake, and it's not frozen yet, so who am I to complain.

But the desert southwest is so incredibly beautiful. I'm stoked to go back, hopefully in a year or two.

I am always torn between which of the two is more beautiful, the Pacific Northwest or the Southwest. So totally different from each other and both breathtaking. I love like Carmel, where the mountains and pines meet the ocean. Also far up in Washington, along the coast. I love AZ and the painted desert. I have never been anywhere near the Adirondacks.

So she's just like you?

Absolutely

Totally different types of beauty, for sure. I haven't been to the Pacific NW, though I've been to coastal British Columbia, along with the Canadian Rockies. Drop-dead gorgeous.

Thanks I didn’t think it was a problem there either. I didn’t really appreciate being told my IQ was probably too low to measure for doing so. I figure if I can’t get this thing to stop working after a couple tips from you guys ill just forget it. Try something another. Maybe get a regulated Squonk like the topside soon. I just like the simplicity of mech mods.

ignore button. Use it.

 

[chanelvaps]

There is an ignore user button on the site, you just click on the profile picture, hit ignore and all those posts dissapear. I've done it for a few users who rant and go on or share TMI...

As far a glue, JB Weld is totally non toxic when cured, I've repaired the leaky 510 juice tube on my Lost Vape Drone with it and things on other mods.

Yup.

 

[chanelvaps]

Thanks I’ll look into that.

Good to know I’m still pretty new here but so far most
Everyone has been great!

take it with a grain of salt and consider the source. Telling someone they must have a low IQ is simply NOT ok.

I went in for a check up/physical on Monday. I found myself having to explain the science of vaping to my genuinely concerned yet obviously intentionally ignorant physician. I had to stop myself and change the subject before I got angry. I did what I could to educate her and politely explain that vaping literally saved my life but it's an uphill battle when you're dealing with someone who has never smoked let alone vaped and has chosen to just repeat the CDC's statement rather than researching the issue for herself.

DR's should really have to get informed about addiction. I am sick and tired of hearing them say "just quit"

Today I became a great-grandma. I am much too young for all of this. I became a grandma at 42. Newly divorced and did the gym every other day and was rocking a lowered Prelude with a thumping stereo. I was horrified when I was told I would be a grandma because I felt so young. I taught my grandson to call me Mimi because I did not want to be called Grandma in public. This same grandson made me a great grandma today. I will teach her to call me G.G.
I also bought my first iphone today because I am tired of the stupid Androids breaking.
No shiny for weeks now

Congratulations - I'm so happy for you I can totally understand being too young. Thanks to my cousin, who is only a year older than me, my mum became a great aunty at age 34 and a great great aunty at age 50

Congratulations! I became a grandma at 49. Both us grandmas, and 4 greatgrandmas were living, so slim pickings on names. My SILs mom claimed Gigi, so I let my daughter pick for me. Thus, I am Yaya.

No offense taken lol, I have thick skin. I like the idea behind the song, not sure about the politics of it. I don't identify with lberal/conservative, democrat/republican, etc. I've gotten some love, some hate from liking it, but idgaf really. I've gotten the same from vaping, being single in my 30's/40's, dislike of popular modern cultural beliefs, rejection of religion, etc. I like what I like. I do hope you feel better though Anna, pain sucks.

I love A Perfect Circles version. Dark - not like the original, very different sound and feel. Check it out if you haven't. Not everyone's cup of tea but worth a listen

My half sister is only 15 months older than my oldest (who I had at 26). I’m constantly mistaken for her mom when we’re out. More irritating for my stepmom, who they presume to be her grandmother.

I can’t decide, and I plan to order tomorrow....
Another dani mini (love the size, 18650)
OR
Get the 21700
I know it may be illogical, but I feel like 18650s have more uses and are likely to be available longer than 21700s??? Someone school/correct me??

The baby bunny seems to have officially left the nest ! Stevie nicks the mom was nowhere near her baby I named Goldie. (Golden fur) The baby worries me because he/she keeps coming up to my machinery and looking up at me for food. No fear .ive been trying to get him to go hang out over by the tree line so he won’t get killed and he has been getting better but he still loves to come hang out with me and ask for food.

I picked up some hay and bunny pellets for him today so he has more than carrots and apples to eat. Gonna make a shelter out of plywood so he doesn’t feel the need to go under bins of lumber.

You are SUCH an amazing person. Thank you for joining ECF and hanging out with us. Seriously. I get so much joy from your posts

First...congratulations on great grandmahood.

I wish you could meet my doctor friend. She specializes in the addictions and is the most understanding, compassionate and educated person when it comes to all things "addictable". She's the one who asked me for info on vape products for her patients who can't quit the cigs.

You know what I'm going to recommend

For me it is handfeel and size. I'd go for another Dani mini. Unless you'll an on increasing your wattage one day - then the 21700 would be the best bet

And 21700 batteries shouldn't go anywhere - they are used in flashlights, electric scooters and Tesla cars

I've seen plenty of wild rabbits but I've never seen a white one. It's so adorable and I love how you care for it. Thanks for sharing this with us. It's a touch of loveliness in a hateful world.

Congratulations Yaya!!! That one was easy.

You had to add that. Someone start over please ... j/k
