    Chubby is my istick Pico Squeeze 2 regulated squonker. Single 21700 - solidly built and very popular. The Kudos is the little single 18650 regulated squonker by Hippovape. Tiny and great in the hand. Mine was a lemon (which I loved til it died) but I'm pretty sure Ange has had no trouble with hers. This is the Kudos:

    I have a Topside single but I don't really like it. Mainly how tall it is - personal choice. Definitely a clever design though.

    I like my Creek and Tripod, so I’d probably like the dotshell. Lordy, this is looking like the bb rabbit hole I was trying to avoid :lol:
    Not nearly as deep as a BB rabbit hole.

    Look for an SE. dotmod only has the new white in stock last I checked. Probably have a harder time getting the Dotshell.

    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.
    I think you should leave your options open for this. You might feel differently by October. I hate that you have so much pain. Are you in a Medical MJ friendly state because that is the best pain relief out there even if just some edibles.

    Good morning shiners! 109 posts since yesterday afternoon? Impossible so likes to all. I'll scroll through sometime before the end of the month.
    I always say that too and never do. Sometimes I do a quick scan, other times I just jump on and hope I did not miss anything
    Public service announcement:
    If you spoke directly to me and I did not answer please know I am not being a jerk, I just missed it.

    The thing is, I'm much more likely to be contented with a mod than even two pairs of shoes (I have tricky feet).

    On the other hand, I've found a site where I could get a decent pair of bespoke shoes for the same price as a Vicious Ant stab . . .

    Hmm . . . I've got some thinking to do.
    Even if not a pair of shoes, there are so many other things I lust for and they all pop into my head when I even consider spending on a stabwood. Some are silly (I could get my dog that $180 ortho bed she has been wanting) some are legit (never know when something as in car, water heater etc will break) some are pie in the sky ($200 towards that trip to Greece I want to take)
    I know, I know, I am not cooperating in the right way in the right thread to NOT want one. I do love to look at them all :hubba:

    As you know I have fibromyalgia
    I was given this diagnosis 10+years ago and sort of refused to accept it.
    In the last 2-3 years I found a real sister (adopted at birth here) through Ancestry. She is married to a renowned liver transplant DR. He helps me with my health issues and is so informative. He says "Fibro is not a illness and should never be given as a diagnosis. It is a symptom only, a symptom of inflammation somewhere, usually an auto immune disease flaring somewhere"

    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.
    After having worked in mental health for a long time I do understand. There are many documented cases of suicide due to chronic pain. Nothing can be right in your world if one is in pain constantly.

    I also have a representative payee who controls my SSDI but it’s my sister so I get a healthy “allowance” after all my house bills and insurance are paid. It kinda sucks but left to my own devices I will not pay attention to my bills when I’m going through a depressive episode which can last for months so it’s probably for the best.

    I could use someone to keep track of my bills too. I am trying to convert whatever I can to autopay just because I forget. And I lose stuff. Only a couple will do autopay though, and a couple more I have apps that alert my phone when they’re due and can pay online.

    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.View attachment 870145

    I’ve put two coils in those a few times. Too fiddly. No payoff. Use it single, it’s better that way anyway. If you want a dual get a unicorn.

    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 :)

    Fibro reacts to everything, and everything reacts to fibro, imho. The first year after my husband died, I hurt worse than I ever had, all over. And the fatigue was horrible too. I was kind of scared for a while, that that would be my new normal. But luckily it eased off as my mental state improved.

    But you’re right, people who haven’t dealt with it write it off. Can’t be that bad, we’re all crybabies.

    I could use someone to keep track of my bills too. I am trying to convert whatever I can to autopay just because I forget. And I lose stuff. Only a couple will do autopay though, and a couple more I have apps that alert my phone when they’re due and can pay online.

    Most of my bills are auto pay now. For the one's that are not, I set up monthly reminders on Google calendar. I also have the auto pay bills set up as paperless, but receive paper statements for the bills I pay manually. Thankfully, my wife takes care of all things financially for our real estate and mortgage businesses. She is a sharp Chinese lady with a phenomenal mind for finances, investment, and saving. :wub:

    I wish I had one of those brains.. Although I guess I should add, I have been lucky. Although I have had difficult times in my life, I have always had all of my NEEDs met, always. So, I feel lucky I guess....

    I wish I could find someone to set me up in private practice. I mean I don't, because it would have to be a weekend day and like I don't have enough to do I just feel guilty about like,, having the highest mental health license in Douglas for counseling and not using it. I would probably die myself if I did it.
