I think mine is tasting better now. My jury is still out. Though it is easy to fill.
I kinda like it.I can see where I will be ordering a few more for the vaper police apocalypse.But the flavor is off.I'm just tasting the cinnamon in PIEI usually get creamy and crust and pumpkin with the cinnamon. It's kind of one note for now..We'll see. Can we put the mop in a Phinias or Lava? I have 2 tons of those now and I like them.
It does seem to mute the flavor some, less after broken in. but I still think it taste better than a carto.
Everything just tastes a lil better on a ProVari Chrome with blue LED's. Just sayin'. It's here and boy is it awesome! Smaller than I expected and wow is it heavy and solid. An ohm checker....be still my by-passed heart! Got a Nova tank of House riding proudly atop it, and I swear, the House clouds are dancing a little more happily than before! My phone is upping some pics and it's slow going, so they are forthcoming.
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.

That sounds craptastic! I don't think 20 company picnics would be worth that.

What made it even better....
After he paid me the money, I asked him what the differential would be if he came to pick them up. If 1000lbs was "x" delivered, how much would "x" be for a pick up. (I know what Im trying to say, I just hope Im making sense here...)
He said that he would pay us full price if he comes to get them...

Holy moly James, skip the gym, you already got more than a workout in today. Yuck.
ummmm WOW... just WOW!
Although I am not sure you should tell the bosses that... then they will just pocket all of it as reclaimed expenses rather than soda and picnic etc.!
