guys my mixes are so far off anything i'd want to vape... don't see how it's ever going to work out:(
Wait for the steep before making any decisions about a mix. Amazing what can occur over a few weeks. Do small batches of 5-10ml only until you get a handle on your flavors. Post one of the recipes you mixed.

this is very true! When I first started DIY everything tasted like crap. Then I realized I needed to let it steep. Do lots of shaking

Seriously? Omg :banana::banana:. They’re still showing at your PO there according to my tracking!! I know your postal is dodgy with the virus mess, so I just assumed they’d get here eventually when things evened out. You’re the “bestest” by the way ;). How are y’all holding up?

You’re sweet to ask. Feel free to TLDR the response lol....I’m great, just stir crazy (a step up from my “normal” crazy) stuck here after 3+ weeks in the house. Himself is dog tired. So far tonight after 10, no texts or phone calls. Hopefully he gets one full nights sleep. His typical day now is about 12-14 hours, dinner, teleconferencing, phone calls, sleep in between. I don’t know how he does it. Unfortunately for y’all, you get my whining. He has enough on his plate, so I’m Suzie Sunshine around him.
Yes I know....the consequences psychologically from being told you must stay in are a big factor in how we feel. Try and tell yourself that you're staying home because you want to. Sweet of you to be nice to hubby.... sounds like he needs it...big work load.

If you want me to get you my latest tracking on your package let me know but I expect yours will update shortly.

Time to make cake :D

    I love the .blank. I build around .3 just because I’m lazy and it does okay in all my RDAs. How often I squonk is relevant to how hard I vape, I usually Cheech and/or Chong so about every three hits.

    i'm taking cheechchong as a joke_ if this some sort of squonking lingo please illuminate

    yea i'm growing to like .3 thanks to being Gear-dependent for the last month or two_ on the elevate i just loved those quadcores at .26. wrapped quads myself for the .blank, either it's a bit larger than 3id or i made an extra wrap as topsidie is reading .29

    what's you're usual power_ or are you a rocket-lady?

    yea i guess it's too early to judge_ just a week or so steeping..

    i do have the flavours so i guess i can keep tryin.

    honsestly i might be ok with the 9euro/mix from dampflion, except they all contain some of the stuff we're not sure won't harm you

    Morning shinies ;)

    My wisteria is covered with buds, so looking forward to it blooming.

    My cousin Meg has been sent home after the hospital she works at gave her a C19 test. No results yet and her mother (my aunt) is pretty ill as well. Of course Bec is remanded to home lockdown along with Meg.:(

    We've already had two suspected C19 cremations come in here at work. Mourners at the cemetery services are seldom following protocols. Our drivers are doing their best to keep a distance, unfortunately the families/friends are not respecting our guidelines and the FD have a hard time Keeping them spread out.

    You have one of the hardest jobs during a time like this, stay safe and i've got my fingers crossed for your family :wub:

    @NolaMel there's 2 types of dotsquonks out there now - the original unregulated/mech 12ml version that we all have and a 100w regulated 8ml newer model. Which of course I also want ;)

    So far in the last two weeks I have bought a Louis Vuitton pouch that I intend to make a crossbody, off Ebay.
    I have bought a new Duvet from Pottery Barn and a light up peace sign to go in the window.
    I have bought so much jewelry making beads and silver I could stock a supply store.
    I have not bought any shiny since the last Asmodus sale and the never ending stock up of Minikens and Lustro's. I now have 3-4 of each so I feel safe.
    Am I losing my lust for the shiny? I dunno...

    I still sometimes take off my cap to check when to squonk. At least with the .blank and axial RDAs, you can follow the 'if in doubt, squonk' methodology which I do ;)

    Got vapemail today. Weird , weird vapemail.
    I ordered some TRVP bits and pieces for my Bantam Box last August from Toronto Vape Supply. Took an age but finally arrived in November.
    Postie knocked on my door today (really) with a big smile. Some mail from Canada he says.
    Huh?
    Not only is it a repeat of my Bantam order but they added a whole lot of stuff that I didn't order or pay for like a solid silver door to a boro, a gold plated condensation plug, a Billet Box fire button, some weird atty tool and a bag of BB vapes indigenous organic cotton.

    Mailed 31 August 2019.

    View attachment 878199 I'll put the bits that fit in a BB for show and tell later.

    That's the sort of thing Albert does if there's a problem or lost package....he's one of the good ones :)

    I’m looking at the regulated. I’ve got 6-7 mech squonks. Trying to replace the Kudos before it goes all psycho on me. The RSQ is tempting because of the price. Bottles on it and the Dot regulated look proprietary. Sort of a negative, something else I’d have to stock up on. What really sucks is, I have a backup kudos bottle somewhere over the ocean. Wasted $10 I’m afraid

    i gots it! i's gots it! .blank! and i'm squonking! i think it's vaping great!

    i keep popping the cap to see how it's going as i don't know how to be sure the wick is wet enough or if it's too wet [not just my first squonker, my first dripper too.. so]. how often does one squonk? anything else i need to know abt either part of the setup?

    oh and whoever has the .blank i'd be interested to hear your preferred or what you consider an average setup, power/coil/AF

    this is great! thanks for recommendation @Daniel Forsyth @AngeNZ and everyone who's taken part in discussion.. can't wait for the axial which @NolaMel and @AngeNZ recommended to me directly and seemingly half the shiners discussed at length the past few months__ all that talk abt off topic talk; more like this is a 24/7 review/recommend/help-line and shineshineshine___ admittedly with lots of wild life running around stinking up the place [looking at you @Skunk! -ie-squonk!]
    I can tell you're very excited because this is the most Standard English I've ever seen in a post of yours.

    Meg is Covid negative!!! Apologies for the whine.
    Thank goodness!

    And now I can say how much I wish I could smell that wisteria when it blooms. (Side note: Wisteria always makes me think of this French jape: "Faut-il mieux glisser dans une piscine ou pisser dans une glycine?" Oh, those Gauls--such cards.)

    I’ll let you know if I ever get around to building it. I popped a coil in it and was waiting for wire. Wire came but I’ve been distracted.
    i know this is not you.it did pop in my head and not many songs are posted anymore . miss the good old days with @whodat2112
