Good morning shinies :wub:

@AngeNZ completely agree re the Coolfire. I haven't tried a Dvarw on it yet as have been enjoying the change with the zlide and the 0.3 coil....I know shame on me....very out of character. Funny about the F0 mode though as I found that it was making the coil taste a bit funky at 16w and 60htz :oops:

I agree though.... Innokin have done a really good job with the chip and the zlide's not half bad either :)

Have a good every time all of you :wub:

Hey mate. Good to see you again. I was wondering how you and the bunnies are doing. Gees you're one big family now I see :wub:
Welcome back buddy.
Thanks I lurk sometimes but usually I’m just super busy. we’re good and that’s only one family of bunnies I hang with. I have about 7 or 8 families of bunnies I am close to including the buns at my house.

Since you can't have a frosty day and a new white mod, without taking a photo:

View attachment 950567

If anyone's on the fence with getting this mod - here's my thoughts on it:

Handfeel is brilliant, whether you thumb or finger fire. It's lightweight, but still feels solid and sturdy. Battery life is hard to tell, as it's barely left my hand. But it does seem on par with my Mixxes, and it fires just as fast too.

I'd happily buy another one, even without the F0 technology. As for F0 mode - I absolutely love it. It's such a simple idea to use AC power instead of DC, and I'm glad Innokin came up with it.

I'm definitely going to need some more z80s :D
If Nikola Tesla vaped, he would use A.C. for sure, Westinghouse on the other hand....:)

    I see that @Doffy has answered that on the money.

    I know people all over the world keep Australian parrots of various types in cages - the cockatiel a case in point - but if they ever saw them in the wild they may re-think that. These birds need large social groups to thrive and travel great distances in their natural state. To keep a bird like that in a cage or even "free" in an indoor setting (usually with wings clipped) is cruel.
    Budgies are another great example. They are also parrots native to inland Australia. I've been lucky enough to see vast clouds of them in the outback.
    Just last Easter I was sitting quietly alone in favourite spot in far NW NSW (very remote - nearest neighbour about 30KM away), when a small family group of about 50 budgies buzzed down and had a drink at the gilgai (watering hole) not twenty feet away. I sat perfectly still in the shade and watched them drink and noisily socialise. Colourful, clever, busy and beautiful.
    Galahs live in large groups too and once they mate, like many birds they keep the same partner for life. In their case as long as 80 years. More than once I've seen the sad sight of one of a pair sitting at the side of its road-killed partner, gently nudging and cajoling the lifeless body.

    Sulfur-crested cockatoos have a very large brain size/body mass ratio and are renowned for their intelligence and sense of fun. Watching a group of cockies swing upside down off the power lines, clowning around and playing chicken with passing cars, never gets boring. These are smart, problem-solving animals that should never be kept as pets for the pleasure of their human owner.

    Doesn't matter if they are bred in captivity, the practice is barbaric.

    I have to say that even though I am guilty of having kept cockatiels and a couple of parrots, I totally and completely agree with you. Mine were ALL rescues. From people who just didn't want to be bothered caring for them.
    There's no way they would have survived in the wild. I've watched a few videos of the birds in Australia and have watched some shows from there and to see these beautiful creatures free as "birds", so to speak, was incredible.
    Thank you for sharing some information about them I did NOT know.:):wub:

    Good morning, Folks, have a wonderful Sunday/Monday?/Saturday? Not sure of everyone's time zones!!

    He judged that I judged that judging is a concept that can be judged to be useful in any kind of judgement situation :) I think the judge and jury is in recess due to the difficulty in judging whether judging is what actually was judgement in this adjudication :D

    Maybe god knows :pervy:

    I’ll bet he does know. I however would not know if he knows.

    Good morning. I’ve been able to finish a couple reviews this weekend so far. I didn’t check the mail until late last night and had some vape mail. Six days from the UK was all it took to get the 510 adapter for the Aeglos P1 and also got the two Dvarw dl tanks from FT. That makes three for me.

    On birds... I don’t feel guilty for having my little Jesse bird. He was born in captivity, and he would have ended up in somebody’s home, and I like to think he got lucky to end up here.
    He was my daughter’s constant companion. Every second she was awake and not in school, he rode around atop her head. He taught her to be gentle and compassionate. He was a wonderful companion for an introverted child, and I think he brought her out of her shell (no pun intended).

    He was the only pet my kids had that I never had to tell them to feed or take care of. I only kept him after she moved out because she couldn’t bring him.

    All the kids in the family have loved to visit Jesse, and they have enjoyed learning about cockatiels and other birds, and I think gained a great appreciation for nature. My granddaughters adore him and I think he’s the reason they like to sit on the porch and ask me about all the birds we see.

    We don’t have wild parrots here, and most people don’t give a thought to our native birds, they don’t realize how cool and interesting and brilliant they are. Jesse showed these kids that birds are cool.

    So it’s sad that he lost out on flying free, but he played an important role. There are a bunch of kids who are and will be more concerned with the environment and caring for all the creatures in the world, thanks to one little bird.

    He’ll be 22 this thanksgiving.

    How wonderful he played such a huge part in your family. I think people would agree that birds in captivity cannot survive in the wild, so you have given him the best life possible and it seems he's pretty happy. Do you have any pictures? :wub:
    And I agree about wild birds in our neck of the woods. I LOVE having my coffee and sitting on the deck, listening and watching the birds. Unfortunately, there is a virus or SOME illness stealing the lives of fledglings in many parts of the country right now. I hope they get a handle on it soon. I remember when a virus attacked finches many years back and left them blind.

    I LOVE this story and what an amazing bird Jesse is. So what if he did not get to fly free. I bet other birds would trade that for being so loved by a family of their own

    Burbank has its own flocks of Parrots that have pro-created over the years. When Busch Gardens was closed down, many of them from there were set free. This was in the late 70's early 80's. So they have really just grown in numbers. Seeing the flocks of green fly overhead is a treat. Most residents know where they flock to. What trees in what neighborhoods they roost in.
    Nothing like where T lives with all that glorious bird action but for L.A. not bad.

    I actually got this guy yesterday, I over paid for him, but I have seen him in the pet store for over a month, and felt really bad for the little guy stuck in a small glass tank, he is only 4 months old and is very lovable already, we have named him George :)
