Hiay folks.

Been awhile since i posted here,real life and other stuff just seems to get in the way.
Just generally feeling a bit down these days,i hate summer and this one is going to be a long and really hot one so yeah i better be ready to suffer.

Anyway,vaping wise i got a couple of things to review in the near future.
Voopoo sent me a cool kit but can't disclose any info till the 9th,but it does look pretty cool,can't wait to get my hands on it and see how it performs.
Haven't opened the box yet since i wanted to do a true unboxing in the video,color scheme of the mod i got is gorgeous,brown wood with antique brass.

Also expecting a package sent to me by a subscriber of my Youtube channel,nice Irish guy that lives in Spain.
He says he feels my pain each time i mention in my videos that my wicking sucks and that i struggle with it so he said he was going to send me a nice gift to get me started with squonking.

Told him it wasn't necessary but he insisted,i mentioned that back in the day i did give it a try with a kit i reviewed,think it was the Pulse V2+Requiem rda kit.
Pulse V2 was good but the Requiem i did not like,all those different caps had a ''plasticky'' feel to it and they were way too tight.

Got no idea what he is sending me but it should arrive on Monday,will post some pics then and probably upload a video thanking him for the gift.
Won't mention his name thou,said he wanted to remain anonymous but i will most definitely record a video of me using whatever he sent me and sending him a sincere and heartfelt thank you :)

Apart from that not much,going to the doc on Tuesday so they can give me an appointment for a endoscopy,never had one of those but my doctor said that because of my symptoms i should really get one so yeah...not a fan of getting that tube shoved down my throat.

Oh and my computer repair guy has made a smooth transition to RTA's,went to his store and we stayed for an hour after he closed so i could tell him how to put the coil in,stabilize it and wick it.
This way he can stop buying drop in coils and start saving some money,plus he is enjoying the whole process of learning how to wick and all that.

Well anyway,off to prep some food for my pops so he has a warm meal when he comes from dialysis later on.

Hope y'all have a good weekend :)

I'd never had an upper Endoscopy done...of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, until last November. They took 6 pictures and got 5 biopsy samples from my esophagus and stomach while in there. I didn't feel anything at all during the procedures though, because they "put me out" before inserting the tube. Doctor said that's routinely done now, but wasn't always, long ago.

The whole thing took only 18 minutes, and after waking up...I couldn't even tell I'd had the procedure. My friend and I even stopped and had breakfast about 45 minutes later, on the way home. I'd have no qualms about having 1 again if/when it was needed. I hope it'll be the same for you. :thumb:

    I wish they had put me under when I had mine in 2005. I had developed a bleeding ulcer and had to have an emergency endoscopy on a Sunday. They used sedation rather than general anesthesia and I woke up during the middle of it. I remember gagging on the scope and having to hold very still while the cattery was on. Fortunately, I was only awake for the last few minutes of the procedure. I'm glad to hear they use general anesthesia now.

    Good morning EveryOne :greengrin:

    I've been on the lookout for a Limelight Freehand mech squonker for a few years. Saw a walnut Freehand listed in a FB B/S/T group this morning. Purchased. Coming from Germany via DHL.

    Luckily for this procedure its light anesthesia.
    I truly fear the one you get for major operations,not afraid of the anesthesia itself but its more of the sensation when you wake up.
    You're half asleep half awake and it just feels wrong,few times i had it done to me it was a really bad experience.

    Hopefully it will come out all clean and with good results.

    Browsing on some Spanish vaping websites i just saw this:

    New colors for the Dead Rabbit Solo RDA,thought i would post it in case any of you a fan of these RDA.
    Never liked pink that much but gotta be honest,one on the right looks pretty cute :greengrin:

    Vaperz Cloud has the Stubby AIO 18650 out in Black Widow. I'd get it, but unfortunately there are more important (non-vape) purchases I feel I need to make before I make this purchase, considering the durability and longetivity of my current setups.

    As a mostly unflavored vaper, I now have an idea of how long my rayon builds have been lasting with my DIY liquids: long enough to be okay with continuing to experiment with flavors. So now I'm slightly more interested in testing the flavor profiles of different tanks. Previously, I optimized mostly for cleanness of initial vape (which can be tricky with rayon sometimes), wicking (which is tricky to dial in initially but easy to replicate once you learn about each atomizer), and juice flow (as a rayon builder that prefers RTAs, I highly prefer atomizers with juice flow control).

    BP Pioneer Insider coming today from HealthCabin, my first boro RBA apart from the one that came with the Cthulhu which I haven't bothered dialing in yet. At 13 days from order to delivery, this is the fastest delivery from HealthCabin yet. My order from 3FVape is still in the ether...

    I am slowing down as much as possible on purchases right now. My wife has been having pain and an X-ray showed a sclerotic bone lesion on her pelvis. Now she’s scheduled for an MRI and could need surgery. Our insurance is awful so I’m planning on some large bills.

    I almost ordered an ambition mods Onebar the other day before we found out about my wife’s X-ray. I probably would have ordered it if shipping hadn’t been almost $17. Not like I need another mod to add to the pile but like the looks of it.

    I got my Aquios bar review posted today and got a good start on the Okino review. I still have 4-5 to go I think. I ended up not having to review the tank that SM sent wrong and they are sending the right one along with the Kylin V3.
    What did they end up sending you? That happened to me when I got the VV Pulse AIO.5 instead of the GeekVape T200 mod for review. I ended up reviewing it anyway, because otherwise I'd have felt guilty, lol.

    Good morning again. I went back to bed for a few hours. Just got done working on some stuff for the next few reviews. More pod type stuff but did get a mod and a couple tanks.
    Have 5 reviews that I'll release over the next few months. Still waiting on a 6th to arrive in the mail. I just love how they all seem to show up at the same exact time, lol.

    They sent the original Kylin M rta instead of the Kylin M boro tank. I don’t have to review the Kylin rta.

    I got samples for seven reviews between Monday and Thursday.

    The best option is to check @Mooch battery/cells list for the best ideas, as everyone uses something different due to their vaping style.

    For example @Tor R I use Samsung 20S 18650 and Molicel P24A 21700 cells because I use down to lower resistances and appreciate the added safety margin over runtime.

    I could not find 18500 in his tables.
    It has probably been many years since I tested 18500.
