Is there a way when you're doing a search to either get rid of brand Pages where they're just announcing selling the item or at least get rid of that dang alphabetical list of mods that takes up 20 pages of your search. I want to see what members have said...not just lists. I'm actually looking at the kylin m aio..but don't love mesh lol

Surprise vape mail today. Grus just left Cincinnati this morning and delivered an hour ago. First impressions; hate the battery door but knew I would when ordered. On the bright side the threads on both are smooth. It is a heavy mod, heavier than my other 21700s but I like the weight. Love the screen and fire button! Doesn't hit as hard as the CS120s but does fire fast. Minor con, no S/N/H settings. No pinkie ledge but quite comfortable in hand and pleased with the device overall. Definitely not a dog walking mod though and will likely be a coffee/ dessert/ice cream juice for me. Keep the fruits in the CS120s and Odin. I don't think anyone waiting for theirs will be disappointed. Ordered both in gunmetal but the carbon fiber was sent in black. Sharp looking so I'm not going to bother sourcemore over it. Doubt I'll order more but pleased I have these two.

Good morning shiny ones :wub:

You know, it would be pretty easy to add Rose's lime juice to that frigid vodka.

That is the one I used for awhile with vodka, now I do them with OJ ;)

Good afternoon shinies :wub:

Firstly French unsalted butter is the best and anyway salt is bad for you :D

Aspire bp80 pod testing going well. Really good vape and battery lasts ages if you are a low wattage vaper.

Just had MRI scan and no sign of cancer... whoopee :D down side got another infection but only small and no fever...... antibiotics again I suppose. I wish my immune system would come back a bit faster...:censored: thing.

Have a great day y'all :wub:

best news ever @charlie1465 about your scan :wub:

You can use normal coils in it too :D

How do you like your coffee? I'm guessing black and strong, no sugar
That's how I drank my coffee for decades. Then my stomach told me to add milk. After that, it told me to stop drinking coffee altogether.

I'm pretty mad at my stomach.

Black(er) than black. Super strong. Zero sugar. Big mug. :thumbs:

We used to have 2 coffee makers cause the wife couldn't handle my strong coffee. She liked real wimpy coffee. When I would try hers I always thought "what's the point". :lol:

And you? :D

ETA: Excellent guess BTW.

Black, strong, sweet. Grew to love it sweet by drinking Lebanese (Turkish) coffee back in the day.

I have to respectfully disagree with you my friend.
Even thou @ShowMeTwice said:

I believe he is lying,judging by his post response time,punctuation in posts,use of common sayings and other assorted psychological details i have noticed these few past months i think this is what he would order:

The Double Ristretto Venti Half-Soy Nonfat Decaf Organic Chocolate Brownie Iced Vanilla Double-Shot Gingerbread Frappuccino Extra Hot With Foam Whipped Cream Upside Down Double Blended, One Sweet'N Low and One Nutrasweet, and Ice

P.S. If i were in line and @ShowMeTwice orders that i would probably step on his toe ''by accident'' of course,just FYI i'm a size 13...so yeah he would feel pain.

That'll be my next pod. I love Aspire. Always been served very well by their products.
Just got the Nautilus prime and very happy with it..bar the button placement..but it is what it is. This 0.7 ohm mesh coil is top notch. Man I love this coil.
Also very impressed with the Innokin sceptre's flavor. Again the button placement is weird...and the draw activation isn't consistent. Half the time I suck air...:(

I beg to differ. I wear shoes with very sharp spikes on their tops. It is you my friend who would totally feel the pain on those huge floppy feet of yours. :pervy: :p :D

Good heavens man! o_O My guess is someone who actually knows "all that" drinks it. I don't even know any of those, except Ice. And "all that" really does sound like a Euro thing (Spain specific) to me. :lol:

Nice to hear from you Cloud. I do hope you are doing well and your Pops too. :)

Yeah good to hear from you too buddy,i do try to post more but these new meds just leave me totally out.

Back to the subject of coffee,nah man big chains of coffee shops like Starbucks aren't a thing over here.
Just looked it up and i think there are a hundred and change in Spain,that really isn't a lot.
We do have lot of bars (tapas bars not bars bars) where you can get MUCH better coffee for less than half the price of Starbucks.

Coffee is a simple thing here,got 3 main types then 2 variations.

Start with ''Cafe Solo'',that is just garden variety espresso shot.

Then we go with ''Cortado'' (Chopped up,Cut up in english),It's basically an espresso but with an ounce or two of milk.
They call it cortado because the milk ''cuts'' up the intensity of the espresso.

3rd and last main coffee they order in Spain and in no particular order is ''Cafe con leche''.
Which is basically you're everyday latte,only difference is that It's not as big as in the US or Canada,at the most we talking 5 ounces not a drop more.

Now with the other 2 variations of coffee that are less often ordered but still available everywhere you go.

For that quick pick me up where caffeine alone just doesn't cut it you have to order a ''Carajillo'' which is a straight shot of espresso with a nice generous pour of booze.
Depending on the province it varies but normally people add brandy, coñac, whisky,anise,aguardiente (something like schnapps),orujo (pomace brandy from northern Spain),rum,baileys or herbal liqueur.
PSA:Not all together,they just choose one he he

Now for the last coffee and my all time favourite,if you order a Bombon this is what you get:

cafe-bombon.jpg


Had to post a pic because that right there is perfection!!

Recipe? Easy peasy,bottom half of the cup is you guessed it,sweetened condensed milk, pour a shot of espresso on top and you ready to go.

Let me tell you,you ain't been to heaven if you haven't had one of these...it's that good.

With this I'm officially done with my lesson on the types of coffee in Spain,hope you enjoyed the info and i hope you can use it one day if you ever come to Spain.

Cheers

P.S: I had to actually google that long coffee order,supposedly it's the longest order you can ask for in Starbucks hehe

    Surprise vape mail today. Grus just left Cincinnati this morning and delivered an hour ago. First impressions; hate the battery door but knew I would when ordered. On the bright side the threads on both are smooth. It is a heavy mod, heavier than my other 21700s but I like the weight. Love the screen and fire button! Doesn't hit as hard as the CS120s but does fire fast. Minor con, no S/N/H settings. No pinkie ledge but quite comfortable in hand and pleased with the device overall. Definitely not a dog walking mod though and will likely be a coffee/ dessert/ice cream juice for me. Keep the fruits in the CS120s and Odin. I don't think anyone waiting for theirs will be disappointed. Ordered both in gunmetal but the carbon fiber was sent in black. Sharp looking so I'm not going to bother sourcemore over it. Doubt I'll order more but pleased I have these two.

    I agree with everything, except I like Gus's battery door ;)

    My Grus has survived the two week test. If it drove me nuts during that time, it would've been swiftly replaced by a Colossal.

    I still love the handfeel and the weight adds to the handfeel. Battery life is hard to judge, so Letitia can do that test, as my only other 21700 mod is a VV Pulse v2 squonk mod.

    And I love the fast fire and the vape I get from it.

    PS: Gus the Grus really loves Juggerknot Mini RTAs :sneaky:

    I'm going to try mine with a rda and staged coil. Will "feel" like it's hitting harder I think.

    Since those are all espresso shots? my morning coffee of 3 flat whites would be Tres Café con Leche

    But I love the look of Café Bombón :wub:
