Well, you guys can look for me at Luke's in Tucson. I just came in for some iced tea and a little break, but after while I'm going to look up Luke's address and get it entered in my GPS!!! Man, that sounds like some great food kgj, but I truly love Italian sausage and the hotter the better! Its going to be real hard for me not to get some of that. I wonder if they will fix things to go so I can try both.

And Melissa, I think the Buzz Pro would be a good choice too. It doesn't have the screen with all the info on it, but the thumb wheel adjustment feature is very nice and lets you easily dial to find that sweet spot. I'm not familiar with the unit salem is talking about, but if its less expensive and still has the Buzz features it might be worth your consideration too.

Man alive ... now I'm in a big hurry to get to Luke's!! I'm serious!!

I'm not sure he gave it a great review.
The voltages are off from other mods and that is a big deal.

That might take a little getting used to but from what I am hearing they just hit a little harder at each setting so that might not be such a bad thing.

You might be better off going with the PV. I just could never bring myself to spend upwards of $200 on any mod + ext + batteries but that is just me :)

Well, be sure to post and tell us your thoughts, TT. I LOVE italian sausage too. The hotter the better. I could get a much better quality on the coast but now I have to settle for what is available in this area. At least I can get it though. I make a mean Italian Sausage sub sandwich. My moms recipe. Plus, spaghetti and lasagna can not be enjoyed without Italian Sausage IMO.

TT, they sell a combo sandwich with Italian Beef and Italian sausage, but they also sell them separately. As a purist, I prefer them separately. Buy one of each and split them with Mrs TT. Remember to get the beef wet. Extremely messy, but more than worth the mess.

They could always get two of each. Eat one there and take the other back to trailer to enjoy later.

There is a BBQ place in Spartanburg, SC that is world famous. They used to ship tanker trucks of their sweet tea over to the soldiers back when Mr. White still owned the place. Anyway, we will be going over that way to take my grandson to see his great grandparents this week. We will eat at the Beacon and also bring a few slices and a plate of rings home for later. So much for a diet but it is worth the cheat :)

This place has employees in their 80s and 90s still working there from when they were kids. It is really an amazing place to visit.

Eating at the Beacon is a major diet cheat, LOL!!! But so worth falling off the wagon for...enjoy, life is short!! And please have an extra plate of rings on my behalf... :D

See y'all later this evening, I hope. :)

Well there not that much. and now they have a mini-provari. (takes an 18350 battery and is only 3 1/2" long) it with 2 batteries was only 180 bucks (or the cost is only about 3 cartons of analogs) but it will last for years and years. (unlike the analogs) Paying a little bit more for top quality has never been a bad thing.

That would work for the sausage sandwiches, but Italian Beef definitely does not travel well.

Marshmallow fluff have not had that stuff with Peanut butter in years kinda stick to your ribs stuff. lol
Yeah they make darn good beef sandwhiches here in Illinois is one knows where to go to get it as some places get the sytuff by bulk in tubs and warm it up - oh yuck

But you get one from a joint that trims ,cooks it and then slices it there self old style and its great.
Sausage here is plentiful and them hots dogs and maxwell street style polish sausage with grilled onions is well gut busting pleasure.
Pizza well personally we blow New York away with it thin and the thick crust is just fantastic.
The thin crust here is thin and crispy not at all like that stuff in NY that they fold in half like a taco !
The deep dish also a favorite of mine you eat with a fork and knife and just 10 minute drive from my house. Oh Yum !

Gyro's is but 10 minutes away as well at a little joint called Mickey's owned and operated by a greek family and you can get feta cheese on it and Baklava for dessert there. Yum !


KG - Western Electric tall steeple was located on corner of Cicero Ave and Cermak Rd.
Here in this picture bottom right side you look down the building structure you can see a break with grass across that street 1 of the parking lots and our house was 4th house off that corner i went streaking thru that lot several times as the factory let out back in the day. Thats Cicero Ave. The cross street by the steeple tower crossing is Cermak rd .

Its all gone now and landscape is much different, the tower i think they left standing the last time i was in area many years ago.
As a young child i would scramble to get to the corner in summer to set up my lemonade stand. As a young teen i sold the scratch sheets in front of one of there entrance gates which they allowed back then.
To the left of that steeple that particular wall and directly across the street was were the beef joint was and i walked there to go to work .
The 2 flat we owned was built right after 1900 and i recall when installing a ceiling fan on the 2nd floor apartment for Dad there were gas pipes running through the ceiling that were capped used for lighting before our time .
The houses were still the same when i traveled through town back in the 90s .
They for some reason blocked off the turn from Cicero ave onto our old block and made the street a 1 way in the other direction which took me by surprise.

A trip down memory lane thats etched in my coconut forever.

Went to get some LP for the camper, dang, their closed. We are getting ready for a couple weeks in the woods of South Carolina starting next Thursday. I don't know if I can handle 2 weeks with no internet or computer for chopping. But it will be nice to go camping, it's been about 3 year.
Mind picking me up and dropping me off at Pokey's place? :p

Hey everyone!
Long time no type.

I'm looking for a new mod and thought maybe some of you experts could help??? Maybe, huh??? :blink:

Must be a VV with display and be albe to handle dual coils. So higher amps.
Was looking at ProVape site but did not know if one of the items was better then the other or something else out there.

Thanks in advance evryone!!

Haven't checked the price point on these, but this v1.5 has a 3.2amp limit http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/lavatube/293537-lavatube-1-5-a.html#post6043298

iVape is said to be the first US vendor going to be selling one (LT Version 3) with a 4amp limit http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/lavatube/293537-lavatube-1-5-a.html#post6047673

I have an LT mini v1 - very pleased with it, overall, for its intended purpose - smaller, lighter, at-work pocket friendly tube VV device. Nice little VV APV; it is not a Buzz Classic or Pro ( I have both) nor a Vari (on the wish list for someday). But I don't use DCs and the 2.5amp works well enough for me.

Not a particularly pretty nor high end APV, but if price matters these might be worth a look - the SS ones are sharp (Apollo sells those, v1 - I think?). :)

Just sharing :D
