The whole conversation in retrospect is making me feel a bit like a “mean girl”.

I can take some of that weight off your shoulders.

At this point I must admit that I own neither a cat nor Cheerios.

Someone may listen to his mech vaping screed though for something other than entertainment and possibly hurt themselves.
I thought of his much time wasted pontificating as just that. Pontificating. I did have a good LOL at your responses though. And they were deserved so do not spend too much time feeling bad.

Actually bulls are quite predictable, if you're very experienced handling/being around them and know how to 'read' them.
Everyone knows hay/grass goes in one end and the recycled byproduct comes out the other.
Most folks can identify BS wether they have the same level of experience with livestock or not.

On line or in person brusque would be accurate.

Abrasive is for amateurs.

It’s not often people will step outside of their comfort zone in any situation. I admire your test efforts.
How exactly does one learn the confines of their comfort zone, if not by comparing what's in their comfort zone with what's outside of it in any situation? I admire your capability to self-contradict.

Off topic for a second, mosquitoes never bothered me all my life. I would watch other people slap themselves silly being attacked by mosquitoes and I would laugh at them.
Then, one night a little while after quitting tobacco I was sitting outside trying to relax but kept being annoyed by these little flying bitey stingy things. Turns out that they were mosquitoes! Apparently they weren't really into me when I was a smoker but as a vaper I was pretty delicious.

On topic.
I'm still very much a mid ohm low watt/temp vaper. I just emptied and put away the "ubervaper" tanks and coils and settled down with a .7 coil at 180c.

Not too off topic though. Back to vaping. I discovered that sweet commercial juice attracts bees. Bumble bee, hornet, yellow jacket, they just can't get enough. It drove me crazy when I lived outside the city because I couldn't vape outside without being swarmed. They even tried to get into the DT. I'm not allergic or anything, but I still have zero desire to be stung fighting over some Uncle Meringue juice (highly recommended ,great stuff, haven't yet been able to reproduce a decent clone of it).

Oh no, here it comes..... The OFFENSE has spoken.... Here comes the DEFENSE.

LOL Bulls ARE sort of predictable! I am thinking of that episode of Fear Factor where they all rode bulls. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I have no shame about that show. Or liking it. I MISS that show. It also seemed to me like the bull riding episode had that extra ring of authenticity to it, like, "SOMEONE could get hurt." I mean, eating maggots and jumping on high up thing (with safety equipment) is one thing bull riding is QUTIE another.

I was always entertained by what people were willing to do for 50K and some TV exposure.

Plus, it's not even your best "reel" or whatever, l mean, you can't go to a producer and say, "Here is television of me eating live maggots" and expect to be cast as like, the next hot female lead in Star Trek or whatever, exactly.

Try vaping Honey Mellow (by 80V), as AFAIK bees only like honey when it's too cold for them to go outside so they'll probably just move on, and, as for the mosquitos, my mom says if I vape Cinnamon Glazed Blueberry Scone (by Barista Brew Co.) it smells like citronella, which mosquitos don't like. :D

Perciate that (prolly the cinnamon.)
Seems they like my blood more'n they like my juice tho.

Good luck. :)

My favorite part of that show was some one interviewing Joe Rogan(sp?) the host after the show was off the air. During the filming people apparently vomited constantly and he became inured to cleaning it up. He was dating a woman who got drunk or something and wound up vomiting in her car. The man offered to clean it up because she couldn’t deal with it. This apparently made him marriage material in her eyes. Iirc they’ve got a couple kids or something now.

It goes on my list of solid all purpose male relationship advice along with my favorite Heinlein quote: “rub her feet”

I recently got back into MTL because of pod mods and nic salts. I guess I have come full circle. I ordered a tiny mtl mod and tank which both should arrive Mon or Tue. I am really quite impressed with the new gear that I've tried. I have been strictly DL for years. Not a big flavor chaser or really a cloud chaser for that matter, but my preferred setup was quite airy and .2 ohms or slightly below. I still find a nice big lung hit to be very satisfying. I also find building DL setups to be much more fun. I will always have a fog machine close by, but I have really been enjoying MTL lately.

Part of the irony is due to salts old gear is becoming good again. An ego battery is arguably better priced and easier to deal with than a pod mod, and the pods themselves are not infrequently just weird shaped and sometimes quite sucky carto tanks. If someone went in and, say redesigned an automatic ego battery in a way that made it even vaguely reliable (which they can do now) there’s a decent chance a usb automatic ego would clean up. Maybe fix the whole unmarked compatibility issue with the charging connectors instead of the bottom MicroUSB2 port instead if they absolutely needed the room.

The gear I ordered is the Innokin Pebble and Cthulu Hastur tank. It looks like it will be a smaller setup than my Orions and it's 50W and 1300mah and rebuildable. I should get a full day out of the battery at 12W. My 1st generation Innokin VV from 2013 still works perfect
A new ego battery and evod style tank would probably sell really well now

I agree in theory, but my problem with eGo's is that none of the "tanks" that reasonably fit on them have enough airflow for me now. At least none that I ever used (EVODs, AROs, ViviNovas, etc). If they could make an eGo threaded mini tank with good airflow, I could see that being preferable to pods though. I do recognize that not everyone wants as much airflow as I do, and for them, it still could be an option.

Nice. Didn’t know about the pebble. I’ve been buying vapresso target mini 40ws for my sister but they’re getting harder to find. That would make a good substitute. Cheaper too. Plus I won’t have to file the completely pointless little nub on the top down to make her atty fit. I don’t know why they did that. It’s not like they were making room for anything. The nub is solid metal.

Bit faster bioavailability of the nicotine and smoother throat hit with high nic than plain juice. Salts mess with my sinuses for some reason though, it is strange.
id say more than a bit. The blood level profile graph I saw can be actually even sharper than a cigarette theoretically making them even more addictive than cigarettes. It varies greatly by the particular protonation acid used. JUUL apparently tested a bunch of them.

You are correct though.

I also had issues with salts. They made my chest feel “heavy” sort of.

That is true the airflow througj the 510 on the clearomizers of that time was awful at least IMO. Which is what pushed me quickly into rdas. Coil life was also an issue. The kanger coils were rebuildable but I never did it. Was too small of a workspace for me. A modernozed version of those old devices using the advancements in tech could produce some great new mtl gear. I was at the Vape Expo here and it was obvious the industry is swinging heavily in the direction of mtl pods and high nic salts.

Gotta love that razor blade sales model. The marketing guys probably get all gooey eyed about the profit margins and the thought of captive customers.
It will fail again. I hope. It almost always does.
