Well same, except now I don’t have to make up excuses not to go anywhere.

Same here. I rarely left my house prior to this pandemic so it hasn’t changed much of anything for my life.

The Black Raven V4 Legacy and Unholy rda by Deathwish Modz. This mod is incredibly nice and pics can't really capture the beauty of the engravings. I'm currently foggin' up the room with some froo tee peb els (silly word filter :D). It's a pretty dang good Tuesday.

That’s great! I have the same exact mod in the shopping cart lol!
I'm actually having second thoughts about it. Apparently it doesn't perform as well as it looks...or is that should :confused:
I'm over buying just anything...like I used to. I triple guess myself before I buy lately.
When in doubt, there's no doubt ;)

Have never seen this species



@Pigs any ideas?

It's pretty far away in that video for easy identification.

Perhaps an Orange-bellied Parrot. Or maybe one of the Australian Ringneck four sub-species (Port Lincoln Ringneck, Mallee Ringneck, Twenty-eight Parrot, Cloncurry Parrot).

Your OZ website Backyard Buddies - Birds has good info for identifying the birds you folks see. With pics. ;)

:thumb: That's exactly how I am with buying vape stuff now. I'm well stocked for the zombie apocalypse. Don't really need anything. Gear I buy now has to meet my higher than normal high standards... or fuget-about-it. Much is liked, most is forgotten. ;)

Like you I scrutinize to the N'th degree, I'm like the Central Scrutinizer. :D


This is the Central Scrutinizer...
It is my responsibility to enforce all the laws
That haven't been passed yet
It is also my responsibility to alert each
And every one of you to the potential consequences
Of various ordinary everyday activities
You might be performing which could eventually lead to
The Death Penalty (or affect your parents' credit rating)

    I've got coil envy and Raven envy. That looks amazing :wub:

    If I could get a Mixx at Sourcemore for the same price as the Z1? I'd go for the Mixx.






    If I had a special Bronze account that is, and not my plebian Regular account :grr:

    If it is the Orange bellied parrot you are extremely lucky. They are critically endangered. Maybe you should pass your video on to Melbourne Zoo or to museum. They'll know and it also could be important information for them to know places/times of any sightings

    Meet the Arbiter Solo RTA

    I was so worried the airflow would be too tight :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: But with it in RDL airflow mode, and the holes all wide open - it's pretty damn close to a 4mm Dvarw.

    @SP013's review shows and explains how the airflow works (with pretty pictures)
    OXVA Arbiter Solo RTA Review

    I threw a build in, in between work rounds and it literally only took 5 minutes to coil and wick. It's a small deck and perfect for a 2.5mm id coil. I used the stock ni80 30*2/38.

    I couldn't decide whether to go coil low or coil high, so I went low. Flavour is great, but I feel like it can do better. I'll rewick in the morning, and use Rob Fisher's coil guide:
    https://www.ecigssa.co.za/arbiter-solo.t73161/#post-926930

    Overall my first impressions are all extremely positive - to the point where I want another z80 for it to sit on!

    Looks like it could be the Orange-bellied parrot. They are native to soutnern Vic and western Tasmania

    EDIT - just saw SMT's post!
    Dang, you folks Down Under have some really cool looking birds. Quickly checks funds for future trip to OZ. You guys have blue water toilets too. Double checks funds for trip to OZ. You guys have nice waves, silently wonders if he could still surf, sure could, it's just like ridin' a bike. "We're all equal before a wave." Triple checks funds and health insurance.

    Does reality check... stupid covid crap... delays trip. Funds smile.

    Yeah man. I like the looks of that. Quality at a good price...for us distinguished bronzies that is ;)
    Thanks again Ange....and again plz notice the cart (tuxedo)...that's me... again :lol:
    You do realise you're only a few drip tips away from bronze status aye ;)
    Actually for their sake, I hope they sell drip tips. If not they're about to loose out Big time when they don't gain you as a customer :D

    Is it a bottom, or side airflow Ange? His coil (in that thread) is mighty high for a bottom flow...

    do not be sorry D, all suggestions are welcome. I did write to Lost Vape and of course they responded asking me for a picture of it not working. This has always befuddled me because how do you show that? lol
    Do a little video if possible....but depends on the problem. I had an Abyss which slowly drained the battery to zero. They asked for a video for that....what was I supposed to do a time lapse!!!

    Anyway they replaced it without seeing it in the end.

    Hope you're doing ok Sue :wub:
