Hello Shinys! I got Surprise Vape Mail today and my 1st thought was to share it with all my Shiny friends !!! It’s been a month or so. How strange and all the way from China. God only knows when it was ordered.

It’s a gold Tauren One (love love love. Everyone should have at least one in their RTA arsenal IMO only) but I have no idea why I would order a gold one.

I have a rainbow Solo RDA and One RTA also a RTDA that maybe rainbow ( I can’t remember cuz I’ve never used it) that I use on mods with gold accents such as the black Vaporesso Gen so why purchase a gold one?

I’m wondering if it was one more of my many after midnight buys. Well at least it wasn’t two $500 VA Duke stabwoods lls that ive never even put a battery in or atomizer on!! Anyone want one? They really are gorgeous but I digress. PM if interested though

I’m wondering if maybe thru my medicated addled after midnight mind that I was ordering the Tauren Solo RDA to match the lovely creamy gold Topside. That’s another RDA that every serious vaper should have in their collection (IMO again only) Killer rda for flavor and ease of build.

So now I’ve got that shinyitis bug for a gold Tauren Solo. I’ve been using a matte black Reload (I think that’s what it is) on it which was another after hours purchase. $59 for an RDA?! Honestly I usually balk at any RBA over $30-35. But let me tell you- it was worth the price well $35-$40 would’ve been better but what a great rda for squonkers. Yes you jerks turned me into a squonker kicking & screaming !

any who- I could put the matte black Reload on the black single Topside or on the gunmetal Topside dual which has also never been used. Another one that I haven’t even put batteries in or atty on it. Anyone for a dual Topside brand new??

Then see if I can find a gold Solo for the creamy gold Topside. Matchy Match. Gold has never been my thing but the gold Topside is gorgeous IMO.

I think I need someone to explain to me what I just said. But the bottom line is surprise Vape Mail is awesome especially something special!! Last week I received drop in GT coils for my “stash” but those were DEFINITELY NOT as exciting as a new Tauren One RTA and didn’t need a shoutout.

All of you Shinys who love RTAs really should get one - the flavor is that good!! Of course my single coil top AF Zeus is still numero uno for me but for a bottom airflow RTA this is easy peasy to build & wick and has become easily my most used RTA along w the Zeus.

ps it also comes with a frosted bubble “glass” which i use on one of the other Ones. I like both looks. I prefer bubble glass but sometimes it just needs to be streamlined !!

Enjoy your weekends and be safe - wash your hands. Don’t touch your face. Wear a mask and keep distance from others. Massachusetts is down 92% after being top 3rd of cases. It works!!!

No

anybody know where to get some Zeus bubble tanks?

not sure which Zeus your looking for but I’ve bought a lot I mean A LOT of backup bubble glass from this place. Let me know if they have what your looking for. I may know another Omer or two places but I’ll have to take some time to find them.

I hope this has what you need. I’ve bought backup glass from here for all my favorite RTAs.

@Fidola13 : salam, Saray!

Hello to you Virm! Beautiful wave but I’d be appreciating it from the beach lol!!

 

[Fidola13]

Hi Sara....good to hear from you

thanks charlie that means a lot to me. I hope you’re doing well. As I said I haven’t scrolled back the thousands of pages I’ve missed so I don’t know how you are doing but I pray that you’ve improved since the last time I visited.

hugs and kisses to you my friend

 

[Pigs]

You can fix that. Dilute with base so the HA cream is 1%; start with a 10ml sample. Then bump the raspberry to original percentage and add a vanilla or two at normal percentage use (in the 10ml sample).

Problem is I'd already added the nic. Won't calculations get complex when I start diluting with base?

You can. We can start a comments war. Lots of red Xs and insults flying. That'd be a hoot. So who goes first?

 

[Fidola13]

I've been wondering how you and your sister are doing, @Fidola13.

well to start with my hip is FINALLY starting to feel “normal”. Like what actually is normal nowadays. I still wake up in pain if I’m sleeping on my right side. That darn screw is pushed out even further than before. The other two are perfect. Not much to do about it except try not to roll on my right side which of course is my dominant side I sleep on. The only other solution is to take the darn thing out which sounds easy enough but is actually quite complicated and could lead to a higher chance of breaking that hip again.

so during this isolation time I’ve
packed on a few pounds here n there hoping that a bit more - shall we say- padding might make it hurt less. The jury is still out on that one though lol!

My poor sister has had every miserable annoyance with her fractured elbow. It appears that she was HIGHLY allergic to whatever skin cleanser used to wash the surgical site - probably betadine or similar.

so she broke out in a rash with hives EVERYWHERE it touched including under her arm and the side of her torso. She ended up with cellulitis everywhere which became systemic. They had to remove all of the dressing and bandages and even the stitches replaced by steristrips. Couldn’t be put on oral steroids only topical cream because of some reason due to the surgery. Sooo she had to be put on large doses of antibiotics and is covered in think ointment!!!

And yet the woman still is upbeat and joking about life. What else is there to do? I’d be bellyaching to anyone I could get to listen.

She’s had very little help as well from her mentally challenged daughter and her “bf” who’s dealing w Parkinson’s both physically and mentally.

aren’t you glad you asked lol!! She says she’s coming to visit soon cuz she actually can relax here but she’ll probably be starting pt at week 4 post surgery. So who knows. Plus I’ve been so isolated and I’m nervous about having people out of my tiny bubble come visit. She lives in New Jersey and her “bf” now lives with his son who’s a cop so god only knows who he comes into contact with.

I dunno maybe I’m just being paranoid or overreacting?? Would love to hear your thoughts or anyone else’s thoughts on it.

my roommate is moving out in 2 weeks with her bf so somehow during a global pandemic I’ll need to search for a brew roommate. I’ll try to go as long as I can though before actually looking.

what a mess 2020 is.

But enough of me - how are you doing /feeling? Any new crazy shiny purchases I can drool over???? Or are behaving yourself???? If you got anything new in the past month or two I need to know lol!!! And I need pics! Have you figured out how much to do that yet?? I’ll send you an older iPhone if you want one even if it’s just to use the camera for your Shinys!!!

I hope your well. Missed chatting with you and others !!

Asmodus has been put in front of the League of Scoundrels for some reason, don't know why
And last we have a really cute little mech mod, the Ultroner Mini Stick 18350 Stabwood mech going out at a Bargain basement price of $15.91

Wow, that is an insanely good price for the Mini Stick. I paid way more for mine.

Hello to you Virm! Beautiful wave but I’d be appreciating it from the beach lol!!

a queenly quonk, beqoming the queenliness of a queen

 

[AngeNZ]

Tried out this RTA again today:

Wotofo's Serpent mini 22mm.

It was my 2nd or 3rd RTA and has always been a firm favourite. The flavour is fantastic, with plenty of dense vapour. It guzzles juice like there's no tomorrow, so 2.5ml lasts 2 minutes

I used to vape this with the dual airflow slots 1/3 open. It's got a 4mm id airflow hole under the coil. Now I prefer MTLing it wide open. I think I've lost my Tootle Puffer Badge

 

[AngeNZ]

but what a great rda for squonkers. Yes you jerks turned me into a squonker kicking & screaming !

Yeah, they did the same to me too The last 2 days is the first time I've tried out an RTA again after 10 months

 

[Zazie]

A long time ago, on a board far, far away, people started getting too earnest and hypersensitive, so a fellow PM'd me to announce he was going to start attacking me out of the blue just to rile things up. It was the funnest day ever.

I will reply properly to this via DM on the morrow, but let me just say that (a) I'm very glad your hip is finally improving and (b) your poor sister!
