Good afternoon everyone! I got so many new shinys in the past month I don’t now where to start lol!

Im tempted to start with the red Topside with either a blk Dead Rabbit or blk Tauren Solo.

I also have a ton of RBAs that need to be rewicked and coils cleaned.

Lots to keep me busy although I probably won’t get more than 2-3 done. My hip has been very painful so I won’t be able to sit for too long at one time.

This broken hip has taken its time healing. It’s now been 5 long months. The one screw that’s backed out of the bone doesn’t help with the irritation and scar tissue that’s built up in my thigh. Not much to do about it.

Wish I lived close, I’d come over and take care of those atties for you. I’m not great at it, but it would be somewhat better than having to do it yourself.

thanks.i'll check out vids of those as well.

calibrating to subjectivity scale: if you like single/dual rta's you like same rda's, or is there an overriding difference between the two, what you guys think?
I think you should try a single coil RDA and see what you think. It'll be more forgiving of the wicking than an RTA and the flavour should be more intense if you choose the right one. Dual coil RDAs work better with more power and can give you bigger clouds - it's twice the surface area of coil.

It is stunning, if a bit gruesome. Don't take this the wrong way, but do you have the tats to support using it in public?
In spite of my incredibly reckless youth, I managed to stay ink free. I do have a strong affinity for themes of mortality and occult, gothic or horror imagery, though. Throw a skull on it and I'll give you an extra nickel :D

TBH, it probably wouldn't ever leave the vape lair.

That’s really thoughtful of you. It would be so awesome to have some vape company too!!!

I have one single coil rda, and I like it as well if not better than all my dual coil rda's. The dead rabbit sq 22mm. It has plenty of af for dtl, or you can close it down for mtl. Can produce a ton of vapor, and the taste it gives is phenomenal. I know this is all subjective, and just my opinion.....but, I'm right. :p And the Direct French Toast is just scrumptious. I can taste the maple syrup, and the salty butter....on a piece of french toast. View attachment 870661

I probably have the same number of each both dual and single RBAs. And to be honest I usually end up with the smaller 22mm single coil atty. For me overall the flavor is better. I use the dual coils if I want more cloud type vaping. Although I can get some nice dense vapor from single coils as well. The mod Im putting them on will play a role also. I vary rarely put a dual coil on a single battery mod. Of course this all depends on the individual atty and is subjective.

    I had one of my plates removed after 7 months. Like you, a screw had backed out slightly, and it sat right on my ankle bone. It was irritating more than anything, and rubbed against my boots.

    My surgeon left in the other plate, as that side was pure cornflake bones - his words, not mine ;)

    The titanium screws are tiny. Removing the plate & 6 screws was done in a half hour surgery under general anaesthetic. I was able to walk in it within hours of the surgery. The pain was there, and sore, but nothing like the original injury and repair surgery.

    Oh boy that sucks. How long did it take for you to recover? The thing with the hip joint is that it’s a long distance from the skin to the bone especially on my hips with extra padding lol!! They’d still have cut all through the soft tissue and muscle. My screws go from the out femur thru the femoral neck. The hip bone will be weakened because there will be a hole throughout the entire bone. This is what it looked like at week 12...

    I spent 2 weeks off work, but was fully mobile during that time. To reduce swelling, my surgeon had me spend 2 weeks with my ankle elevated. It was a fantastic holiday :D

    I'd just get your surgeon to drill the damn screw in a bit more ;)

    Very cool! I wonder how long it’ll take before you stop trying to push up the glasses you’re no longer wearing.
    I was shocked at how quickly I stopped doing that after cataract surgery. You'd think a habit of fifty years would have been harder to break.
