Morning shinies

Loving being able to rinse a deck while it's still on the mod. I may need more Aegis's in the future

One of my best friends passed away yesterday from throat cancer. He was a year younger than me. I visited him in the hospital when he first found out
That was 8 years ago. We slowly drifted apart and it was about a year ago the last time we talked. I found out that that is about the time the cancer came back with a vengeance. They tried 2 surgeries to get it bit they couldn't beat it. He pretty much cut off communication with everybody because he didn't want to burden them. I wish I would have known. I guess he was luving in Texas. I would have driven down there just to see him one more time. We were both adopted and we joked we might be brothers. From 7th grade through high school and on and off as roommates for years after, we practically were. We shared some of the best times, and supported each other through the worst. I'll always remember you Ken. Rest easy brother.

He was a heavy smoker and drinker. We all were back then. Some quit and some didn't. I have struggled off and on with cigarettes for this whole time. Lately with the stress of life I have been dual using again. I found this Zippo when I was moving. It used to belong to him. He got it with Camel Cash years ago. It is one of the few reminders I have of him. And it's a warning. Everytime I want to light a cigarette I pause and think about where it took him.

I am reminded why I decided to quit in the first place
I read an article in 2012 about a guy named Bryan Lee Curtis who died at 33 years old, leaving behind a wife and a 2 year old son.
Smoking Kills - Bryan Story - "He wanted you to know"
I never want to put my wife and son through that.

I love how you are motivating yourself to quit, and I'm sorry about your friend

Thanks guys. The P26A looks ideal as a replacement for my VTC5Ds. The Vapcell (my main single battery mod go to) is a rewrap of the VTC5D. Low builds in mechs I use the 20S, dual battery reg mods I use 25Rs or VTC5As.

why do you use wewwaps? be beem boomboom?

Received my Dvarw MTL FL and a bunch of accessories today. Shipping from Budapest was blazing fast at 5 days.

Great vape and excellent flavor. It is super quiet due to the AF redesign. Takes a clapton nicely. Running w/the 2ml glass tank for now. I'll switch to one of the larger ones later. Same with the AF inserts (1.2mm default) I got some other ones for a more airy MTL and for RDL.

Size comparison l-to-r: KFL19, Dvarw FL, Pocket v2.

Overall I am very impressed with the FL changes. KHW Mods did an awesome job.

budapest??

Because they are highly rated by Mooch (the rewrap), have a much stronger wrap than the Sony and are/were available locally unlike the Sony. Reputable brand rewraps are brand new batteries - not used in any way.

I finally got some liquid gold aka isopropyl alcohol I got it for mech mod maintenance. Do I keep it at 99% or cut it down with something?

 

[Resistance]

I love that atty. It's one of my favorite rta's. Great flavor and cloud, and easy to build.

Hi Sara....good to hear from you

 

[charlie1465]

No keep it as pure as possible. That way you get absolutely no residue as it evaporates

Good morning shinies.....hey it's Friday and the weekend is upon us

Keep it 100%. It should be easier to get soon too

@Letitia can you recommend a watermelon flavour to freshen up a fruit custard?
