Agreeeed !
Please do! And if you remember PM me a link to it. This is something I need to read up on before the device arrives.
Thank you!
You got lucky.
I live in so cal. They are everywhere like stopsigns.
They all suck, over roasted beans, super strong nasty brews made by kids who haven't a clue what they are doing.
Starbucks success proves most people don't know what good coffee tastes like.

That won't help even a little bit. What it'll do is galvanize the fairtrade-ludicrous minimum wage-arugula-social justice-buttclenching nanny crowd to stick up for Starbucks, and that's Starbucks' target demographic.

Sure, I gathered that. I will read up on the reasons why though.
Also, I'm assuming once one of the married pair dies, the single working battery could be used in single mods and not need to be thrown away as had been suggested?

The earliest known usage of vape
E-cigarettes were not commercially available until the 21st century, having been invented in China in 2003, yet the word vapeactually dates to the early 1980s. Its earliest known use is in an article, “Why do People Smoke” in New Society in 1983. The author, Rob Stepney, described a hypothetical device being explored at the time:
“an inhaler or ‘non-combustible’ cigarette, looking much like the real thing, but…delivering a metered dose of nicotine vapour. (The new habit, if it catches on, would be known as vaping.)”
Thus, it seems that vaping the word existed before vaping the phenomenon. Oxford Dictionaries research indicates that while this sense of vape was in use in the1990s, as evidenced by posts within the UseNet bulletin board system, it wasn’t until around 2009 that it started to appear regularly in mainstream sources. (VAPE is named Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year 2014 | OxfordWords blog )

Last - but surely not the least:
Vape and vaping aren’t new as abbreviations. The oldest I’ve found is from the early 1950s in the name of the doubly-abbreviated Vape-Sorber, a device for removing petrol and oil vapour from the air. There’s also the long-established electric vape mat, which releases insecticide. Some science-fiction writers have used vape for killing opponents with an advanced weapon that flashes them into smoke, while others (especially those writingStar Wars spin-offs) have found vape, helpfully rhyming with rape, to be a usefully euphemistic epithet. But Oxford Dictionaries say that the first use in the current sense is astonishingly early:
There have also been experiments with a “non-combustible” cigarette, looking much like the real thing, but again delivering a metered dose of nicotine vapour. (The new habit, if it catches on, would be known as “vaping.”)
New Society, 28 Jul. 1983.
So the word existed long before the phenomenon. The evidence suggests that this sense began to appear in online bulletin boards in the 1990s but that it took until the rise of widely available e-cigarettes around 2009 for it to be encountered regularly in mainstream sources:
His study of 40 smokers is trying to determine how e-cigarettes deliver nicotine and whether they suppress withdrawal symptoms. I found “vaping” too, well, plastic to be enjoyable.

I just found this in the same Oxford Dictionary article which I thought was interesting enough to post too:

ANd don't forget to rotate the spot they are in. Top spot in a stacked device always gets more stress.

Should the batteries be used in the same battery slot every time? Like left right type stuff in the mod.
I am going to need help from everyone in order to figure out what all I am supposed to buy.. I don't have any local vape shop to go to for help..
It does look like we will need a few things.. but I am seriously lost on what things..
I don't mean to sound stupid, but I have no experience in anything to do with mods and coils and and and.. I saw a couple pictures is all, but not sure what I was seeing in pictures..
off and running to do some errands. good luck to all who are participating in the question contest.
I still cant believe I won lol
