Well my dear wife Veronica is trying the Gemm pod by freemax in the DL setting/coil and she really likes it.

Nice simple set up. 1300 mah battery and 3 power setting with disposable tanks which just screw into a standard 510. The coils come in 1.0 ohm and 0.5 ohm.

Flavour is very good apparently.....well that's all for the moment my friends :wub:

    i'm starting the review binging again, this time for RDAs_ i'm finding some difficulty in making sure they're squonkable and, more importantly if they're good for single-coil-use_

    of @AngeNZ the elder dragon seems to be leakfreak_ recurve single is top of the list, trust it won't be difficult to find, might have to go local given the discontinuation. i am worried that the well is said to be rather shallow, that mean leaking or much squonking??

    the recurve dual has a better well according to reviews, but not sure how well it'd do single. same goes for HV Passage.

    vic's tops include
    asmodus blank, fotoon aquamaster, blitz hermetic, cthulhu mjolnir_ in addition to the recurve.

    oh and, and since i doubt there's a decently sized dualbattery (i.e. no bigger than vaporesso gen), does topside single get consensus? if anyone knows of a good sale, much appreciate it.

    I have one on order from them. A bit on pins and needles about it. I hope yours was just a lemon (and you get a healthy replacement). The wait for mine is looking to be lengthy. With pmta looming, I don’t have time or $$ to be wasting on clunkers.
    I'm hoping mine was just a lemon. Yours wiil no doubt be fine- I haven't heard of any other people with problems.

    Memory foam - if you get a decent one - recovers quickly and doesn’t weaken from pressure like a regular mattress.

    Chairs I can’t help you with because I’m short. The only ones I can bear to sit in for more than five minutes are kitchen chairs.
    Again, this.

    So, decided to rewick, and try a new juice flavor while at it. The good news is I was able to practice rewicking the Dotshell.... Twice

    Caramel Apple tasted like bad bourbon and cigarettes. Seriously, smelled like a bar on exhale. Only once have I had horrible juice before.

    When I was new to vaping I ordered a bottle of cherry tobacco. It was more like furniture polish with cough syrup, even after steeping a month. When I tried to cut it with plain juice it overpowered it, making me feel ill. This was close.

    Good afternoon everyone! Hope you all having a nice Sunday!!

    I haven’t taken my new Topside for a run yet. Not feeling too good today. Maybe later or tomorrow. I bought the dead rabbit sq for the red Topside that’s coming but I think it’ll look good on the silver one as well. A SS won’t match the silver. I don’t think. Actually I could use any color rda on it. May look good w the red nudge or a blue Recurve. I dunno. I’ll mix n match.

    Can someone tell me the difference between the regular Dead Rabbit and the SQ? I can’t see a difference between my regular one and the sq. The descriptions are the same and both can be used in a squonker. Is it just that it comes with bf pin already installed?

    I wasted a lot of juice. And paper towels. But silly me, I started with those Uwell Fanciers. Talk about baptism by fire. I look back now and think it’s amazing I ever got the hang of them, conversely, you have to be so accurate with them, everything else is a cake walk. They are a nice atty once you nail the build though.[/QUOTE

    I remember clearly all the trouble you had w the Fancier and every time I see one I think of you and say no way am I getting that RTA LOL!!

    I’ve been lucky with RTAs. I’ve never had any leaking except for my 2nd one a Steam Crave Supreme V2. There was that time I didn’t screw down the top cap but that was just me being too much in a hurry.

    I don’t know if it’s I’ve used rayon from day one or that I watch as many tutorial videos available but they’ve all worked great for me including the bottom flow ones. I’ve actually never tried cotton. I figure why mess with a good thing.

    thanks1

    decent as in a couple hundred or a thousand worth?
    I have a bad back (only gave into one surgery as it was a no choice situation). At home, I have a tempurpedic (sic???) that we’ve had for about 15+ years (there weren’t many options back then, and my neurosurgeon recommended we get one). Yes, expensive but worth it! At my Mom’s (we visit quite often, usually for a week’s stay) I ordered a memory foam mattress in a box from Walmart (super cheap, less than $200) because she lives an hour from town and delivery costs were absurd, and I had to go pick it up and be able to get it down the hill into the house. It sleeps as well as my expensive version. My daughter bought the next level up of it for her first house and likes it (she’s a real “princess and the pea” kind of picky). Check lots of reviews and you’ll find something in your price range that’ll work.

    Thanks Sara....yes I've had my first night at home which was bliss. I managed a four hour block in one go...hoorah...a big thing for me :)

    Still on oxygen at home for the moment. Cripes you should see the two huge tanks I've got in my office :rolleyes:

    I have a huge long tube which allows me to go anywhere in the house so just having that is getting back some muscle tone as after six weeks in hospital I've become quite weak.

    How's your hip. Hope that you're getting there slowly. Slowly, slowly catchy monkey as the saying goes.

    Have a great weekend :wub:

    This is such wonderful news to hear Charlie! How long will you need the oxygen tanks?

    My hip. Ugh. It’s improving slowly. Definitely much better than a month ago. My doc said that one of the screws has backed out of the bone and may need to be removed. She thinks that’s what’s causing the build up of scar tissue causing the irritation and pain. It’s not something that can be done until it’s been a year which is October. I’m not interested at all in any more surgery. Plus it’ll leave the bone with a long hole in it making it weaker. I’m not going through this recovery again though so I’ll just deal with it.
    Thanks for asking!

    It must be so wonderful to be sleeping in your own bed and home again. I pray this is over for you and recover fully soon.

    Fred she posted about the single and dual and the x,three different atties. i can answer her question and yours in the same post why i'm butting in. @Fidola13 i do have a love for single top air flow.it's nice to have one thing in my life uncomplicated.;) edit: to add GEEKVAPE ZEUS RTA

    It really is a atty that is almost foolproof!! It would be hard to mess up the build on it.

    Hi Sara. I have both. My dead rabbit is 24mm and dual coil. My dead rabbit sq is 22mm and single coil. They both came with blind pin and squonk pin.

    Is that one of those spiders the size of a dinner plate? Me, I wouldn’t be video taping it, I’d be firing a 12 gauge from a window at it.

    Id be burning the entire house down!!

    ohhhhh duh! That would make sense. Obviously I didn’t look at it too closely. Thanks Rob!

    We decided about a year ago to get a memory foam.
    I shopped expensive to inexpensive and almost lost my mind.

    We ended up getting a Sinus Green Tea from Amazon. My thoughts were that I wasn't willing to spend $1000 to find out if I liked it, and I had doubts about returning if didn't like it

    The order was delivered and we were pleased to not have a bad chem smell. Sadly I paid for 12" and after 2 weeks it stalled expanding at 11. Yes I'm that .....

    Somewhat long story short Amazon replaced it, initially planning to pick up the first but failed, so they told us to keep/donate the first. We gave it away to someone in need.

    After a year we are both happy. I only paid around $260 for a queen.I have no problems with it. Supportive and comfortable.

    I want a miniatrure donkey now more than EVER.

    Sadly we are SO FAR from buying our parcel of land now due to the house flood. My real estate runes are telling me we will be renting now for like 3 years it is PISSING ME OFF!!!

    State farm sent our housing check a "new" estimate for repairs, and a check JUST to me for said repairs. It is supposed toe cosigned by our mortgage,. Remainder of demo still on.

    The owner of the company actually LOOKED UP my husband's "body of work" (it is substantial and he has won a ton of awards, like serious ones, and he has worked on some interesting projects including how to fix that tall bullet thingy memorial I forget its name) and he is FREAKED OUT, He told my husband, "We thought you were exaggerating but now we see you are NOT, we promise to demjo EVERYTHING and encapsulate EVERYTHING (it's this mold process where you seal the wood so it can't release mold) and we are SO SORRY we stopped before you said to, we will make it right,"

    I can't figure out if this is a free thing or what but I am beyond caring,. If I care I turn purple and start cursing.

    LOL.

    The owner must be doubly scared after some of the emails the husband sent.

    Anna I hope that this will finally work out for you. Good luck!

    I have no clue, but I need a mini donkey!

    Anna

    Somewhere out there
    really? doesn't that mean there'd be dents and bends in the mattress where i lie? that's sort of my problem...

    meanwhile; whsat abt chairs?

    oh and vape related, i've been chucking on nunchaku2 for a couple of days since my continued failures with elevate and something wrong with what seems to be a good wick on gear. i've only got a handful of cotton left and if i start trying i won't stop till it works, the day ends or i'm out of cotton so nunchuckiung.. it's just too airy for me now in comparison to the elevate, cloud not dense/saturated enough..

    oh and i'm officially joining dry-nose-blood-vaper club. hopefully make it to the pharmacy tomorrow for a saline spray.

    uh oh_ so is my chirlieyitis!

    Chairs

    This is an "outdoor" chair, but I don't care how it looks, I use mine inside ALL the time.
    https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Zero-Gravity-Chair-Black/dp/B071173FS8
    It's probably not made to stand up to constant use, but I love it so much I wouldn't mind if I had to replace it every year.
