And how's my dear friend Bludger doing? Still misbehaving?

Bludger's doing well. As you know he is his own elephant and hasn't always been entirely monogamous but who am I to judge?

I'm pretty sure I know where his big elephantine heart lies though... on the windswept shores of Maine.

Oh, well. Say hi for me, anyway.

These are some of my locals. Most are common everyday birds, but this is the first white-capped and bluebird I've seen in my yard.

Oh wow Delores - these are superb!!

Hey fellow Dvarwers I have a question. I am testing out the Dvarw DL for the first time today and was wondering what wattage some of you use it at. I'm not getting much flavor out of it so far.

With a 0.5 Ohm Ni80 fused clapton I vape between 25 and 40W. Get tons of flavour.
vaping a 0.63 Ohm Ni80 fused clapton right now in a DL at 29W.

The DL FL doesn't give me as good flavour as the older DL. The af is better in the DL imo.

Better still I just gave him a big kiss on the ear. Said it from you. His trunk seemed to change - not sure why

Is the standard AF insert on the FL and different size than the older DL?

Love it....no light pollution there by the looks

None what so ever! When the sun goes down...it is pitch black. The stars are amazing up there at night!

I love birds! Those are excellent!

Here's another great find, tufted titmouse. It's so easy not to notice great little birds, assuming they're just sparrows. Lucky for me, sparrows make great models so I practice on them all the time. View attachment 931575

Gorgeous!

 

[wvducklady]

Ah, so pretty and peaceful! My blood pressure went down lol.

Lol It is so quiet and peaceful! There are literally no noises up there except for the wildlife

Every so often Rudy shows up in my dreams. My daughter said he just wants me to know he’s missing me too.

I like that I dream about my Mya a lot...I still think about her everyday

I was lucky to witness an absolutely stunning sunrise again this morning. I'm still going through the pics, but these are my favourite two:

I fricking LOVE this camera. I feel like after painting with crayons for years, I've finally got some oil paints

I've stuck some more online at Flickr:

Those may be the most magical gorgeous sunrise pictures I have ever seen!

Hey fellow Dvarwers I have a question. I am testing out the Dvarw DL for the first time today and was wondering what wattage some of you use it at. I'm not getting much flavor out of it so far.

I use it between 16-19 watts depending on my coil. I use Ni80 Clapton's at 0.5/0.6....make sure that your wick is just right....watch this video of the Exocet method...

 

[charlie1465]

I am using these $3.38 Authentic Ni80 Superfine Heating Wire - 10pcs/pack / 30*2/38 AWG / 0.25mm*2/0.1mm dia. / 0.7ohm at FastTech - Free Shipping.

First time using Ni80 coils. I was running at 16-18 watts. I'm guessing that's too low?

Nope but it depends on how quick you want it to fire. A gradual ramp up produces a much more flavourful vape and gunks the coil up less quickly. But....with a 0.7 I would say that's perfect.....

None what so ever! When the sun goes down...it is pitch black. The stars are amazing up there at night!

Go for it then....get an app which tell you when the milky way will be in the right aspect and use a 5-6 second exposure. It needs tweaking in lightroom afterwards to bring it out more
