Thanks, Doffy. I had a feeling that might be the case (moved on). I'm surprised she retired her beloved Rev3s though. Mine are still very much in use, and still my preferred BB version. The 4 runs, but I still like the 3s better.

I appreciate the update - very much.

On the "normal", that's the best news I've heard in quite a while.

batteries became an issue

Can't touch normal much without politicking. But we hit a trillion dollar debt a fair while back, our benchmarks are 70% and 80% vaxed. I think Sydney get there last week

Copy that and whatever it takes. <3 I scored some white ones that work great, but I know it was a bit more difficult for you there. This whole thing stinks.

To all, thanks for indulging (putting up with) me last night and this morning. Now get back to shiny stuff.

We are getting normality back now here in Australia.

XX is quiet. Onto non vaping hobbies. She said she only keeps 3 or 4 rev4 out of storage as her only mods in use

@Pigs were you on AVF? I came and went over the years. Don't remember pigs user name there. I was DogMan, as I am in most places. ECF DogMan made only about 5 posts a year or so before I joined. So Doggie spelt wrong is doffy

No I've never been on AVF. It was really the whole international variety and the people that attracted me here to ecf. I'd been vaping for a few years before I stumbled onto this place so I kind of knew what I liked vape-wise and really joined out of curiosity. Have learned a great deal and met some wonderful people here.

Gotta say @Doffy that your and my versions of normality are a long way apart. The way I see it is that we'll never get back a lot of what we once had and we've now got to live with a whole new way of doing things.
I understand the reasons but I don't enjoy having to show a government vaccination certificate to a security guard and log in with a government QR code before I can walk into a shop or cafe. That won't change for many years to come if ever. At least not in Sydney.

People don't trust each other the way they once did and there's an uneasiness in the air like never before.

I can't travel into the bush or interstate and when I finally can, I doubt it'll be open arms from the locals. We once had a whole country, but now it's split into a series of mini fiefdoms with metaphorical and even physical barriers in between. Divisions that never existed are getting more entrenched.

The ride is far from over.

Doff and I live physically a long way apart so his day to day experience will be very different from mine. Southern Victoria and Sydney used to be just a long drive from each other. Now they are worlds apart. Weird and disturbing.

Here we can travel where we want to within Europe but obviously with our vaccination passes. It's just a bit more scary going to different places and you're right....all the social things we took for granted are in part a distant memory.
Having said that I think that we may well crack this thing eventually and it'll become like a bad flu is now. That's my hope anyway.

Weird and disturbing.

If they were to write a story of these times, that would be a most appropriate name for it.

Morning shinies

Recoiled a Dvarw DL this morning as the previous coil's noise was driving me insane. No matter how I wicked it, it still reverbed its head off every inhale.

I've now got a quiet, non-reverbing coil and I'm a happy camper!

 

[Fidola13]

Don't worry it'll be fine....

I ended up opening it. I decided that the cost of shipping it back was too much to bother with.

I watched a couple of video reviews and read some posts about the 510 issue, loose buttons etc

Fortunately the buttons are really solid feeling and 510 appears secure. I think I’ll just leave whatever RBA I choose on the mod so I’m not turning and putting tension on the 510 connector

Appreciate peoples feedback. Wish me luck!!

 

[Fidola13]

Throw a heatsink thingie under it and it will be fine.

Oh I have around 10 of those of different colored metals. What a FANTASTIC idea!!! Thanks!!

 

[Fidola13]

I think a lot if these design flaws happen when the designers cut corners to try to make something cheaper, smaller etc. In this case maybe they didn't use a nut on the 510 assembly to keep the size down - it is tiny for a 21700. Who knows why, but it's a flaw no doubt.
I've had my Paramour in daily rotation for many months and it's still ok.
I like two things about it: one is the hand feel and the other is the extremely good battery life.
@Fidola13 if you decide to open yours you make get one of the ok ones. Good luck.

I decided to keep it. Not worth shipping back. Someone mentioned using a heat sink on it so if I was changing out attys it wouldn’t be at the 510 connection.

I really am trying to get over how TINY this mod is AND it uses a 21700 - wow!!!!

Hiya fellow vaperinos

At home and wanting to go to bed early but i decided to watch BSG again and now i am hooked and about to start season 2 so who knows when i will go to bed,maybe i will pull an all nighter...been ages since i have done that.

Vape wise i have spent like 2 weeks without changing coil or wick on any RTA,used the attys i got for review purposes and let me tell you what a relief,felt good not have to worry about changing the cotton.

But today my 2nd Kriemhild coil started tasting a bit funky so decided to put a new coil and some cotton in my Juggy Mini clone.

While looking for a screwdriver in the bottom of my vape stuff related box i found a small 10ml bottle of Honeydew liquid...no idea where i got it from thou.

So anyway i threw caution to the wind and decided to give it a try,never tried melon before...think its the only fruit i haven't tried.
Expectations were low but once i got my Juggy up and running WOW!!!

I actually like Honeydew flavored aroma,this one is also fresh so i get the best of both worlds...it's not overly sweet but leaves me with a nice after taste.

It's expensive thou (it's liquid not just aroma) so i have to look around for some Honeydew/Fresh aromas but it's good to have another flavor to my very limited flavors of e-liquid that i actually like.

Can't afford the liquid i am trying at the moment since it is way out of my monthly vaping budget he he

But dang is it good,bottle is gone and i am craving more

Well anyway hope you are all doing ok,being safe and staying healthy and sending you a big hug from Sunny Spain.

P.S: I downloaded a movie for my pops yesterday and watched it with him and now i can't get this darn song out of my mind

some of my favorite fruit DIY juices are centered around honey dew melon flavor and they taste so refreshing!! I’ve never tried a premade juice though.

 

[Fidola13]

I'm a gettin worried here....ordered my College from them on the 7th Oct, and still no shipping notice. I emailed them...and a waitin

My one order from Health Cabin never came and I had to dispute the charges with PayPal. Fortunately I eventually got my money back. They never responded to any of my attempts to contact them.

I don’t buy from them at all now.

I hope your vape mail shows up soon!

 

[Fidola13]

Both are absolutely gorgeous

Thanks - I really love their looks. But I’ve got even something BETTER to Showoff later!!

The Striped Marsh Frogs have been laying eggs in the last few days.

Oh dear. I just went into my account at Health Cabin and it's marked as 'shipped'. I didn't get a shipping notice though. I'm kinda half concerned and half optimistic now....with your bad experience, and @ShowMeTwice good one

Ive seen ALOTS of people on this forum purchase from them without any issues at all. Maybe my experience was a one off.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed !!
