I called my Post Office and was told they have to leave it even if it is damaged. :-x

"Yes ma'am, just ignore the USPS tire tread across the side of it"

The mailman probably saw the shattered spools and thought, "I ain't picking that up".

Brilliant idea!

I'm waiting to see if the 0.6 coil is going to be sold from someone over here before I buy some. I also want to figure out if it's a semi-bypass chip or fixed voltage for the 2 coils. Aspire and other sites are saying bypass, but the wattage ratings don't add up with the voltage via ohm's law. I could watch a review, but I'll be lazy and just vape it until I know :D

If it is bypass, then I'm happy with the 0.25ohm coil due to the airflow and the flavour. If it's fixed, I'll want to try the 0.6ohm.

After Christmas/New Year and when our post system is less deluged, we should definitely do some vapemail-switcheroos. I was thinking of sending you my Arbiter Solo for some serious drilling, and that way you can try it out yourself first.
Deal..we'll talk next year :thumbs:

This is supposed to be a really good one. I started to get the authentic a couple times but I have too many bridges now. The Rdl crowd will probably like this. As for the Mtl peeps maybe not, especially if you enjoy a tight draw. Mission just released a Mtl for this rba yesterday. Supposedly with a tight draw it gurgles and floods hence the new Mtl kit.

I heard from the guy at Wireoptim and he is resending my package of coils that got damaged by the Post Office.
One worry off my back.
The other major worry is ongoing since Friday when I opened a letter from the IRS and read that they are demanding 334,000 from me. Yes, that is correct that amount of zeros. I could hardly read the notice as the room was spinning and my breath was choking me.
Finally, I was able to interpret some of it.
Seems the sale of my house in Burbank was NOT reported on my tax return in 2019. I was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and just not paying attention and just let my tax preparer do it and I signed.
Basically, the IRS thinks I am trying to abscond with all the capital gain money they THINK I accrued in the sale of the house. They are not aware that I inherited about 400K and paid another 250K to gain the house.
It all has to be amended and I will owe but only on about 100K.
The worst part of it is I have to pay a tax accountant $250 an hour to sort through it :-x
AND my dog needs another dental due to a loose tooth, isn't there a crying emoji? I need one (or three) no shiny for me for a while
Poor Sue. Poor Daphne. I am sorry.

I do it a little differently - pulse first (about 12W for a 0.5 Ohm coil), then rinse any residue that's been lifted off the coil.
When the coil's cool, a gentle scrub with one of those FT nylon coil brushes. One more quick pulse to dry it out. Sometimes one more rinse under the tap.
Like you I never let the coil get hotter than a dull red.
I never brush unless it's simple round wire (which I never use anymore). IMO there's too much risk of damage to the fine wire wrap on a Clapton. YMMV.

Hope you're enjoying the warmth of summer T :wub:

View attachment 965177 Hi guys. Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile. I’ve been too busy with work and FB trying to keep up with all the boro stuff being released. I still drop in from time to time to read the content and reviews of all the new gear and advice in here.
Good to see you....and nice switch plate!!

Salutations fellow vaperinos.

Well my pops seems to be doing better,he can almost apply some pressure on his foot so his sprained ankle is getting healed.

Shoulder is still very sore but you know with enough rest he will get fully healed,incident seems to have been a wake up call for my pops,now he is actually listening to what i tell him and he doesn't fight me on stuff like he use to.
That well you know will make my life sooo much easier,get to that point where you just get tired of having to talk him into eating certain stuff for his ''special'' diet,thanks to me and my cooking skills and determination all his blood tests are coming out perfect....even if he is almost 2 years above the transplant list limit he might have a chance thanks to his good results so let's see how it goes.

Apart from that not much to tell about vaping,been using my GeekVape Z Sub Ohm Tank at home as my main device and when i go out then i use the Fat Rabbit,just way too much cloud for my small room hehe.

Just finished my review of the Target 80,feel free to pop in to give it a read:

Vaporesso Target 80 - Review by Javichu

Soon i will have to choose what to review next,was thinking a Aspire Kumo RDTA and a Vandy Vape Pulse AIO Kit.
The Vandy Vape Pulse AIO Kit i am really interested in trying out since it's the only thing left in my list,if i get to review that i will have tried all styles of vaping apparatus there are in the market.
Well that is except mech mods which i don't think i will be trying anytime soon...to many things on my mind at the moment so afraid i might ''slip'' one day and screw up.

Well anyway,miss you guys a bunch will try to pop in later if time allows it...well time but my pops mostly lol

Cheers

    I’m glad things are going good with your pops. I still haven’t received the review samples from Sourcemore that were sent the end of October. I was told a shipment got stuck but they never did send tracking. It would be nice if the stuff showed up soon so I could get the reviews done while I’m off the end of this month on vacation.

    Hello Shiny people! Glad people are enjoying their new shiny toys. I’m still waiting for my Sourcemore order with the LV Centaurus squonk. It’s in transit somewhere in the world. The Netherlands I think! I wouldn’t mind a trip to the Netherlands just not during winter.
    3vape says an order got lost because they didn’t put the street address on the package. Say what? Anyways it’s in the US and are asking for $8 to have it shipped from wherever it is to the correct address. Seems like they should pay for this. I don’t even remember what the order is. Once the they tell me I’ll decide if it’s even worth another 8 bucks. It many be just coils or something I don’t really need. I’ll obviously want a refund. But I can’t find my original order. I’ll have to search my mail for the confirmation email.

    never had a company forget to put the street address on the package lol! God it’s been a strange couple of years.

    That's ridiculous! There's no way I'd pay extra shipping. I'd just ask for the refund unless it's something you can't live without. Good luck on the Sourcemore order. They have been having some shipping issues lately. I know my review samples from October got stuck in transit along with a bunch of other orders.

    Morning shinies ;)



    Good to know! How many bridges is too many? :sneaky:
    I’ve got several that just sit in the boxes in my drawer. I really need to let a few go but most were so hard to get it’s tough to part with them. I have stopped buying every new one that’s released. There’s so many now my bank account would never keep up lol. I pretty much only use mobb minis. I have 3 now and still use my vape snail.

    With a collection like that I'd be holding onto them. And we now know who to bug with any rba questions!

    The Kumo still isn't back in stock at SM. I'm wishing more and more that I'd split the order. The Brunhilde was 24 hrs and Kumo pre-order :-x Mind you I would have paid more shipping I expect......confusticate and bebother these Chinese manufacturers!!

    Have a good one....
