Good morning shinies

Well it's Monday but I'm still having a relaxing day....I hope lots of you guys are too

Might build my shenray today, see how it vapes.

I love my dot mod aio. The vapeshell rba is a must have though. It's slightly to restricted wide open otherwise. Defo get one imo

Rdl is right up my alley!
I just hesitate to get something that will need pods to keep going with deeming looming over us. I have no idea, how often does it need to be replaced?

Thanks Charlie and you are so right I’m not dealing with cancer which I thank the gods for if there are any. But it is a constant pain every day all day & night. I’m just getting use to it I think along with my limp. Maybe it’ll go away still.

I have a very dear friend who has liver cancer and it’s a daily reminder of how fortunate I am. It puts my health problems into perspective yet he always is asking how I am and giving me such sympathy and support as I do for him. But it’s definitely not the same.

Constant pain is its own hell. Chronic pain is that much worse. Even 2 on a scale of 10 drags a body down when there's no end in sight.

My father died because of atherosclerosis that led to the congestive heart failure that ultimately killed him. But it was the post-herpetic neuralgia subsequent to shingles that blighted the last twenty years of his life.

So, yeah, your broken hip was never going to kill you, but that doesn't mean it's not a massively weighty cross to bear.

The attorney general just charged several vendors doing that last week.

Maura Healy? Yeah, she's become a thorn in my side. I will be devastated if I can't get the few commercial juices that I still buy. I'm going to have to figure out something because my friend is in NJ too.

I was bitten by a brown recluse spider several summers ago. Ended up in the hospital with cellulitis. And omg it hurt and was soooooo itchy. My entire arm blew up to almost twice it’s regular size.

I didn’t think we even had those spiders in Massachusetts but yep they’ve made they’re way north.

OMG I have a thing with those spiders. It's like they come to find me. One jumped out at me from the top of my bed when I lifted the pillow. They are aggressive. I even saw one put it's front legs up in defiance at me. I couldn't believe it. I had to ask my friend to get it out of the house.

I wish I remember where I saw it but they're literally selling it for $5 I think it's on the Kanger wholesale website then again it's probably too late now. You probably didn't pay that much I think it's an astounding RDA for the prices i have seen.

Thx for mentioning that. I just snagged 2 at $5 each plus the 20% off. I saw an old classic, the Infinite Origen V2 (vertical coil RDA) for $11 and scooped that up, too. The Dragons left were the gold, rainbow and gunmetal.

Not that I would ever want to face off with a spider that spunky, but I can't help admiring its pluck.

Grrrr someone on here told me the axial is actually a dual coil RDA... I don’t think I could ever get two coils in here. This thing is pissing me off there no way this thing was made as a dual coil rda. I’m sure with enough screwing around people can get two coils in here but I don’t have the patience.

 

[Blitzdonlife]

Why is rayon especially good fore RDTAs? They seem like the unfussiest wickees around--are you telling me that rayon makes them even more accommodating?

RDTA's wick great with cotton, but Rayon wicks juice faster. For me, Rayon in an RDTA lets me chain vape like crazy when I am in the mood to do so with no chance of burning anything.

 

[Daniel Forsyth]

5 days after I placed my order Sourcemore has Shipped me another Squonker
I have a Luna on the way

 

[Fredman1]

I’m sure with enough screwing around people can get two coils in here but I don’t have the patien

Same here. I gave it a half hearted try, but left it for another day. She'll be a challenge...that's for sure.

Omg I’d freak! I hate those things especially if they are attacking you lol!!

Have you tried Maxe Vaping? White Label Juice Co.
They only allow 2 bottles of the same juice at a time but I placed a couple of orders with them last week. Very quick shipping.

good morning shinyies
what play was it that had my back, my back, MY BAACK..? something Beckett maybe?

zinus you ssay? got it .
thank you.

I bought a copper infused cooling 12” queen size for $800 at a local furniture store. And a 12” full size (non cooling) from Amazon for under $300. Only reason I paid so much for the queen was they took away the old mattress for free. And the cooling is nice if you’re a lady of a certain age. But the Amazon one is every bit as comfy. Not too soft, not too stiff. I have a bad back too, but I never wake up with a back ache since I went memory foam.

ETA: having trouble linking, but the brand I got from Amazon is Zinus.

The Elder Dragon is in my top three rda's. The flavor that I get out of that thing is amazing. And that is without looking at a tutorial or anything lapis and cotton in it it is a really good piece of equipment and it is cheap on most sites like you're not going to pay more than $20 at least not in the states I know you're not in the States but I imagine it's not too much different it's a Chinese product

it looked good but then i saw this @8:27 mark and there was mention of the same by other reviewers

@virm is the one after an RDA, I've got too many as it is and I only have the one squonker.....so far.
I think I need another Brunhilde

 

[Ricky Vapes]

Same here. I gave it a half hearted try, but left it for another day. She'll be a challenge...that's for sure.

Glad I’m not the only one. I did put a single coil .15 ohm NI90 parallel coil in there and i like it

No need for dual. Putting a dual parallel coil build in there would be too much hassle. I’m sure some fused Clapton’s or something would be easier.

Here it is on my black Vert.

Im so sad for your dad. That’s a terrible pain to live with. As you know I have fibromyalgia and other health issues that have caused me chronic pain for the last 10-11 years. Some days are better than others but when I get a flare I almost want to die. It can go on for months. My surgeon said the pain from my fractured hip may has intensified by the fibro & the pain in my hip and effected my recovery. And now that screw backing out into the muscle & tissue adds to the pain.

Thanks for your understanding. Most people have no idea the physical and emotional toll that chronic pain takes on a person. It’s an invisible illness and most people believe it can’t be that bad.

Thanks Zazie

Chronic pain changes everything in life. What we are willing to do changes, the things that are acceptable, living conditions, outlooks, hopes and dreams, potentials, etc. It is what is though, best to just keep on keeping on, what else is there to do besides giving up? Fight, until the fight is gone completely, then hello good night.

i'm looking at this: what's tkaing over shinyitis or pain?

not the only one at all, he manages it but says it's so tricky that it must have not been meant to be, must been been need must

I love using rayon. I never have had any leaking issues in any RTA using it. It’s very forgiving. I’ve never used cotton but I see lots of people having so much trouble wicking with cotton I can’t help think that some of the problems may be avoided with rayon. @stols001 ’s advocacy for rayon was what caused me to use it when I started building 2 years ago. There’s a fantastic thread on using rayon somewhere. A quick search should find it. I can’t remember the exact name of the thread but it’s really informative for anyone thinking of trying it out or having difficulty wicking with cotton.

She made a post in a rayon thread that helped me learn to build with rayon. Something similar to so tight in the coil you think it can’t work and the tails so thin you think it will leak. Works a charm! Thanks Anna!
