    I spent my boyhood summers climbing trees to catch cicadas. Green Grocers, Black Princes, Cherry Noses, Floury Bakers etc.
    We knew all the best trees in the neighborhood and which houses had savage dogs (worth running the gauntlet if we heard the distinctive sound of a Double Drummer from over the fence).

    They were even a type of currency at school - no boy that brought a Tiger Eye out of his pocket in the playground would ever have to buy his own Wagon Wheel or Paddle Pop.

    One favourite trick was seeing how many cicada shells we could stick to the back of teacher's shirt before getting caught and the inevitable caning. Wild little Aussie Tom Sawyers.

    Very occasionally there'd be a 'dry' year - that would be the worst. Silence in the hot summer air and hopeless long days knowing we had to wait a whole year for the next season to kick off.

    This should be the basis of a children's book.

    Serious question for the day, for all you RDL or DL vapers. How the :censored: do you vape and still see the TV?!

    Even with a teeny Sceptre pod vaped RDL I no longer see my toes :vapor:
    No problems here.
    Ceiling fan and tend to exhale away from the tv.

    Hey now you better not be dissin my beloved Hallmark movies.
    Yes the rom-coms,they are predictable...they are corny and cheesy but sometimes you just want a feel good movie you can watch.

    I mean don't get me wrong i enjoy John Wick doing head shots to the Russian mobsters or even a nice oldie but goodie flick like for example Donovan's Reef with John Wayne,it all depends on the day and your current mood.

    So yeah i watched and will continue watching Hallmark rom-coms,we all need some cheesiness in our lives don't we?

    I get your point but its NO to hallmark movies here. I cant enjoy a movie if i know how it will end in the first 5 minutes.

    She used to make me watch them and when i sat down i told her who would end up with who etc.... After a short time i didnt have to watch them anymore. I know im an .......

    Not gonna tell anyone what to do or watch, just not my cup of tea.

    That being said i can veg on some sci-fi or even a show like friends. To each their own.

    Peace

    I can’t watch that stuff either. I found a cool show on Amazon, One Step Beyond. It’s like the Twilight Zone. I like weird, nerdy, sci-if, horror kind of stuff. I’d rather watch Star Trek than Friends. If I’m in the mood for feel-good tv, I’ll watch Dr Who lol.

    Havent watched the doctor in a while.

    Just watched an interesting twist of a series on hbo max.
    Its called Raised by Wolves.
    Set in the future when the earth becomes toxic and the first people to arrive on the new planet.
    Only 10 episodes but was different.

    I have done all the star treks since quarantine started. Thinking about babylon 5 next since they just added it to hbo.

    Hiya folks!!

    Been busy this week,not much time to do anything besides the usual taking care of my pops and stuff.

    Just finished a review for the Univapo Miso in case anyone wants to give it a quick read:

    Univapo Miso Pod Kit Review

    Should have done it sooner but i was prepping up the tablet for my pops.
    Already packed with movies and music and i just finished a 3 hour session of ''tablet for dummies 101''
    I am mentally exhausted :lol::lol:

    Keep in mind i haven't used a tablet/smartphone type of device in years,think the last device of that sort that i used was an Ipod Touch :D:D

    So i myself had to go thru the basics on how the tablet worked,like Roger Murtaugh in the Lethal Weapon movies: "I'm too old for this ...."

    Shinyitis wise i just saw a mod that i really liked,something about the shape and the materials:

    Just looks AWESOME!!
    Anyone using one of these?

    I got one, love the look and feel of it, but within a few days the 510 became loose, took top off where tank sits, and there is a nut to tighten up the 510, which was loose really bad, did it tight as I could, but it keeps working itself loose, would expect a little better at the price it is, but maybe I just got unlucky with mine.

    Hey @ShowMeTwice how long do you cut your wicks for the Arise?
    I cut my tails (w/very sharp ✂️ ;) [HTR's post ^^^^^^. lol]) ~1mm past the ematalised deck. For me that works best with my DIY 20pg/80vg, 30/70 or 50/50.

    Sorry to hear about that Nailz. I hope you are able to get it fixed. My Paramour is still solid even after being knocked off a table twice by Dog's tail. Carli is my tester for all mods and RBA's. :D

    Thanks SMT. That's about where I ended up before I read your post. Maybe a little longer.

    My last build I left the wicks too long and noticed they'd folded up in the wells and even had little dry patches at the very tips.

    Vaping well now- no hint of dry hits. (My version of Ange's DT no doubt helping ;))

    On top of that there is all the drama with Jai Haze,think mrjustright1 called someone the B word in a youtube video.
    The back and forth was like a Mexican telenovela,didn't know there was this much drama in the vaping world :D
