The Copper Creek Chit-Chat Thread

OMG James. I'm so tired for you..Mrs. E called she wants to know if you can pick up some batteries on the way home...

H o l y <insert bad word here> Im tired now. I ended up not doing the pre-inventory inventory. Our pallet of old batteries was full. I was just told this morning that we would no longer be using a battery pick up and be paid with a fridge full of soda. Joyous Day.

Anywho... The pallet that the batteries were on were too big to fit in the cargo van that I have to use for transporting such things. So, I got a smaller pallet and transferred all 3150 pounds of batteries to the smaller pallet, wrapped it with shrink wrap so they didnt fall over on the way to the battery guy, and some how managed to push them on to our hydraulic lift. Got the van backed up to the lift, put the lift up, dropped the loading ramp directly into the back of the van, and went to push the batteries into the van. As soon as the front wheels cleared the ramp, the weight compressed the van's suspention farther than I thought. The ramp slid off the lip of the van body and on to the bumper, trapping the pallet jack's wheels. With that much weight, the pallet wouldnt go forward or come back. So, I got down, opened the side door of the van, cut the shrink wrap, and unloaded the pallet into the van. All 3150 pounds. Removed the pallet and pallet jack, dropped the lift, where in the ramp promptly caught on the back door of the van. I pulled the van forward until the ramp popped free, and didnt see any visible damage more than scratched paint. No big deal, the van is in rough shape anyway. Until I went to close the door. It no longer catches on the latch without slamming it shut just right. Get in the van, and drive down to the battery place. The lady behind the counter recognizes me from previous pick ups, and tells me to drive around to the loading dock. They only had one guy working today. So I had to unload the van by my self and set them up on the dock so he could stack them on pallets to be weighed. So I got to move 3150 pounds of batteries three seperate times by hand. I still plan on going to the ball fields tonight, but if its raining, Im skipping out on the gym.

The good news is, is that after one battery delivery, we now have enough money to pay for the next departmental picnic. Twice. And a fridge full of sodas, if I get permission to buy them.

[sessiondrummer]

Session, I just looked at the new avatar, Awesome! Lord Of The Drums. Freakin' love that guy. Seen them twice.

My first Rush tour was Permanent Waves, and I was hooked ever since.

ProVape sure is in no hurry in getting my ProVari to me. Ordered at 1a on the 3rd and it's still in Washington. I want my new toy.

I would have to agree, the shipping wasn't fast, but as soon as it arrives, all your anxiety melts away.

CC vape mail day is always a good day!

What ^^^^ she said.

I haven't ordered in a while, I'm kinda down to almost nothing, a little peach and a little house and just drippings of the other flavors.

If you do not like the CC Buttered Rum, then I think you need major surgery to have your taste buds replaced because they have all died! It is my absolute favorite CC flavor even above the rock star flavor House Blend!

I'm starting to feel the same way !!!!

 

[sessiondrummer]

The only throw away piece is the atty head with the wicks that screws off the base. And I've seen video's where you can even rewick and recoil those if you want.

I'm trying to figure out how to break the head loose !!!!!

 

[sessiondrummer]

O.K. My thoughts on the vivi Nova.
I love that you just unscrew the cap,fill,and go.....I like the way it looks. I'm using the first mop that came with it. The draw is too tight for me and it has all but muted the flavor I used which is PIE .Pie is my go to flavor when I can't taste anything else.I had the provari at 4.1 and I've dialed down to 3.6. Could it be the mop?

Maybe it's flavor dependent ? I was comparing carto/tank to the vivi using Cool Aid, and I noticed more flavor out of the Vivi.

 

[sessiondrummer]

Evening!! I need to check in here more often.
I'm ordering more juice on the 10th. What does the danish taste like? Is there some cinnamon to it? And is the chocolate chip cookie sweet? I like bakery and coffee, of course. I have the coffee and cake as my main two, but thought I'd branch out. I also have pie and house that I vape now and again.

I have to say Danish, even without any fruit flavors is surprisingly good. I was hooked right away. The CCCC is VERY good. There is sweetness in there, but it's never overpowering, overwhelming, just plain good.

 

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Yeah what is that gray thing?

It's a 510-eGo extension so you can use stardust type clearo's. Stardust's won't work on a ProVari or LavaTube without one. I usually take it off when I use a tank, but I forgot before I took the pic I was so excited. HEEHEE

 

[gadabout]

i too think the nova gives the juice a wet muted flavor. and dials down the throat hit. but still kept it in case of emergencies

 

[sessiondrummer]

I'm not sure...It's called vivi nova....Very easy to use...The jury is still out on what I think but everyone else seems to realllly like it.

That's an interesting question. You can replace the HEADS, but it's not like using a mesh wick, and coil wire (which of course is far cheaper then $2.00-$3.00 heads).
