    Morning shinies ;)

    I see you guys/gals are all builders vs regular coils..Is it really that much better ? I've been vaping since all that they had were the goofy cigarette type ones but have never gotten into building coils..

    There's a lot more ongoing maintenance in using rebuildables compared to drop-in coils. But with a decent RTA or even easier is an RDA, it becomes second nature to rewick and go.

    For me, the ongoing cost factor is my main reason for using RTAs and bf RDAs - a $5 pack of cotton will last me a month or so. Of course this is offset by me purchasing a new RTA/RDA every few weeks :facepalm:

    Good afternoon Everyone !!! :wub:

    I am like 500+ posts behind. Ya, catching up ain't happening. So loves and likes to All.

    Rolled back into town earlier this morning. Got a call on the 2nd from my friend who raises, trains and boards horses. She said come on up autumn is in full swing and we'll hit the trails. We did a lot of riding.

    I managed to get good and lost on a solo ride last Wednesday for about 6 hours. Carli found our way back. :facepalm: As we were riding down the trail near home I saw 2 riders off in the distance. My friend and her daughter were just starting to search for us. I got seriously b-i-tched at cause I was only gonna be gone for a couple hours. Oh well, we had all sorts of fun exploring. :D

    All in all we had a Blast!

    I've been enjoying my Dvarw DL FL with the Unicorn. Great combo.

    What kind of surgery did you have ? I'm a little familiar with the pain thing..
    Doing pretty good... better all the time so it's positive... PT said when there are major issues like I had she always recommends surgery early, for just the reason I'm experiencing now. Harder to get it back when your muscles atrophy, and mine have definitely atrophied.

    But I am getting there... :) Thursday I see the neurosurgeon for my follow up with him, but im sure he'll be pleased with how I'm doing. He was right when he said he thought this would cut my pain levels by half... it really has done that and maybe a little more..

    Good morning shinies :wub:

    Much cheaper, you don't have to throw out the coil when the wick is past use-by (just dry burn and re-wick) and you have much more control of your vape.
    Building is not for everyone but if you want to try it out an RDA is probably the best place to start.

    Couldn't get a better price on a great RDA than this ( Ange will confirm!!):

    Axial RDA

    @AngeNZ is a bad influence hmm wait good influence on this thread :lol:. Proof below :shock:

    Yay happy to see you around. I was getting worried with Wisconsin having the Covid numbers it has and you not being around

    Anybody notice the Asmodus Lustro Kodama deals showing up on 3avape and Everzon? I am really tempted but have no apparent need, so I'm in trouble.:eek:

    I noticed that and I definitely don't need one! But I still seem to have the Everzon page up ready to Kodama, it's a bargain:w00t:

    I had to get away from all the stupid craziness of 2020. My friend and her daughters are about as isolated as you can get up in the north woods. Peaceful and quiet.

    Carli and I encountered a big black bear out in front of us in the woods. Carli alerted us. My horse got a little frisky. I slid off and calmed her down. Carli growled and barked up a storm. I threw some sticks and repeatedly yelled "go away bear". It ran off. That was our major excitement the day we got lost. :D

    Wow! True story? That is more exciting to people like me than I think you know...
    Your life sounds like when I’m far away playing red dead redemption 2 :lol:

    I drive a Focus around grey built up areas, witnessing almost nothing memorable. I need a change :facepalm:

    It was tons of fun. I did enjoy getting lost. And you sound mighty chipper! :) Must mean you are recovering well, I hope (we All hope). And if your surgeon managed to get your pain down 50-60% or better you are likely getting near dancing up a storm. And who knows, maybe down the road you will be able to go horseback riding too. Or at least hiking out into the mountains and getting lost. Great fun! :D

    Yes and lots of fun too. But I am back in grey cement lined city life. Blah and yuck, but it's all good. Was gonna stay another week but I had stuff to do at home.

    I have no clue what red dead redemption is like. Haven't played any video games in decades. From TV commercials most these days look pretty cool with awesome graphics. Far cry from Asteroids. :lol:

    Sounds like you need to get out of the city and into nature. Go for it and have a blast. There must be some hiking trails you can go spend a day on around your part of the country. :D
