Off topic I know but wanted to share photos of the past two mornings.

Saturday was at a Northern Beaches rock pool:

    I'm glad high end mods are out of my budget, especially as I always want multiples of my favourites :facepalm:

    In the low-end bracket: I ordered a SBS kit for the Abyss and some drip tips from FT. Because having 500 drip tips isn't quite enough.
    This. I get almost everything in two's, especially if there's a killer deal...

    I once got 9 uwell Whirl II kits because the sale was so ridiculous, lol. I regret nothing.

    Most companies don’t make just pods. I know Voopoo makes a lot but before this last stretch of pods I got the Argus XT and MT kits. The Vaporesso Luxe X and Luxe XR were pretty nice. I was complaining more about receiving seven out of eight review samples were pods that all arrived in a 2-3 day period. It’s really a tough call. Each of us has to decide if we’re willing to put up with the onslaught of pods to get some mods in between. It wasn’t like that when I first started doing reviews. Sometimes I get a really good pod like the EIR from Hellvape and it goes into my rotation for work.
    I have been able to keep the ratio like 1 for 1 for mini-pods to 510 products for most of the reviews so far, but they come in waves where that's all I'm vaping and it really takes the fun out of the whole review process.

    Firstly, acknowledge and accept your anxiety about organizing. Then take 10-15 very deep breaths, those will help to relax you.

    Then start by selecting one box, or container, and begin with your Complete Focus on its contents only. Do not let your thoughts drift off to "everything else", maintain your focus on the One Box. Take that box to another room... that will help to maintain your Focus and also help you to not become overwhelmed... then begin your process of sorting and organizing.

    Perhaps when looking at your living room full of gear you don't know Where to Start???
    That's 100% okay... to help you, I highlighted one box where you might consider starting.

    Once you've sorted through that box you will discover it wasn't very overwhelming nor angst ridden. Then simply select another and carry on.

    If I was in the Boston area I'd pop over and we would have you sorted in no time at all. :greengrin:
    That’s very sweet of you! Your words sound exactly like what my therapist would’ve said to me lol! And I love the idea of just going through one box at a time. Instead of just been standing there saying - where do I even begin to start but now I know!

    Thank you.
    The Gepetto Mods Ge-Ro boro. A very nice looking mech boro mod. Easy to change bodies from the video I saw last week. That is, if one can afford more than one body. :lol:

    All Gepetto mods are very pricey.

    Pawel does excellent work. His creations are highly sought after by high-end collectors.

    Sara, make lists of what you have, and then sort into boxes that belong to the list.
    That's how I find the motivation to have one system, much easier to look through the lists instead of having to start looking in boxes later.
    More great ideas! You shiny people are so awesome!

    It’s been my experience so far that I get a wave of products like this time maybe once or twice a year. It just so happens that seven were pods. Even a pod mod in there would have broke things up. I know what you’re saying about taking the fun out of it. There’s only so much pod vaping I can take.

    It makes me feel guilty when I want to vape a preferable setup, but should be vaping a review product to acquire the most info about it. Multiply that by 7 and that's a wrap.

    I always buy in two's too. But I do not buy much anymore. I know what I like and am out of the spinning circle race to get the newest and greatest. I cleared out My Freedom Smokes when they were going out of business last year and had things discounted. Scored 6 Freemax Autopods and 11 boxes of coils for them. 6 Lost Vape Thelemas and about 15 boxes of coils for them. I know I spent about $400 and stocked myself up for a long long time on many boxes of coils for everything from Freemax, Lost Vape and more.

    I saw the price of the Boro with the dicodes v3 chip..... and found out that it was not made for me, i.e. my wallet.

    I can understand those who are 100% boro, that they can afford to buy it.
    Aesthetically, I think it's a fantastic mod.

    $400 isn't all that much considering what you got. Both of those alone should last you 3-4 years, alone.

    Not many here are in that "spinning circle race" any longer. From what I've seen, most are very well stocked.

    Isn't the spinning cycle (circle) nothing more than an illusion <rhetorical>. No different than what one might see as a mess (rash). Perception.

    Shinyitus and its varied people have evolved...

    Shinyitis has transformed from worry of stock to the nice feeling of something new and shiny, lol.

    I got lucky because with all the pods I also got the Hell200 so could use that in between the pod usage since it was also a review sample without feeling guilty.

    Admittedly, I do have the Pulse.5 AIO, but that's a pretty restricted RDL. Something with a nice open airflow is refreshing from time to time.

    Vapemail!! And the Abyss only took 7 days from Aus :ohmy:

    byssss.jpg


    Being my impatient self I set it up without previously watching or reading a review :facepalm:

    Anyway I figured out that the top plate slides to remove the tank and insert a battery. After the battery went in, I took out the tank and through blind luck removed the top section. I stuck in HRH Mobb m2 rba, stuck the top on, stuck the tank back on, did the battery top sliding thing and screwed in a drip tip.

    It behaved and read my coil. I slightly filled the tank, in case I'd screwed up and it dumped. But it has behaved :ohmy:.

    Vaping: I absolutely love HRH Mobb m2 in this device. The mod airflow is a bit tighter than the Bxr, but I love how much more capacity this tank brings it over a boro tank. As for everything else, I'll let you know after a few days with it. But it was definitely worth getting, especially at the ridiculous price I got it at
