Why you filthy beast... please get lower nic for your first encounters with the D'win.
To all the rest... see what I mean about leaving time for Neb's great posts?

Hello Ladies what's up. No wait don't answer that it is Thursday theme night and again no KD or Krisb in the man cave. So what's up = nada. Keep smiling 
... but I can imagine trying to carry around one of those round mods in my pocket
I wondered why the ladies were staring.
Thanks, Kat. I posted when I got my Darwin a little over a month ago. Been lurking since.
Panky tossed a softball and I couldn't help myself.

Yea I did. That was a good one
OK, finally, for the thrilling conclusion, and it is only 40 pages later! But first, a greeting to all the new Darwinians. Spin the dial, drink more water. High Resistance is your friend, get some low nic juice, live long and prosper. Your Darwination will be complete soon.
The trip went quite well. Baling hay was a snap, it was dry, there was an incoming chance of rain, it was a good chance to help my aging dad finish up before the rain. I spent most of my life doing this, now I am an IT guy, and it's cool to do it again.
Later, we went to the Amish auction nearby. The Amish did not notice me vaping at all. They do not want their pic taken, so here is a quickie cell phone pic. This is an auction, where they drive horse-drawn wagons of fresh vegetables picked a few hours/days ago, and you bid on big boxes of them.
That was all well and good, but for me, the highlight of the day was to visit my old country church (yup, it's 170 years old. I am much younger), and work on their old Hammond organ. I checked the plate and looked it up later, it is actually a 1960 Hammond RT3.
I am a musician and rock 'n roll kinduva guy, the Hammond B3 organ has changed the face of music, whether you think you like organ music or not. I have a '57 Hammond at home that is in fair shape, and some reasonable clones that are more practical to gig out with.
While the B3 is the most famous one, there are several others that are perfect, exact identical models, except they may have added chimes for church models, for example. The one at my old church is specifically called an RT3. One of the most famous RT3's in the world, resides at the Abbey Road Studio. It is quite ugly, but some great things were recorded on it.
The Beatles used it a lot on several albums. Pink Floyd used it. Here is a recent pic of it, it's old, ugly, and pretty worn, but far from worn out.
This thing lives on a pair of dollies, and while it hasn't left the Abbey Road studio since the 60's, it gets rolled back and forth constantly.
By contrast, the 1960 RT3 at my little church has been moved twice since 1960. Once from the Hammond dealer to a church, then in 1989 it was moved 16 miles to the current church. It is absolutely perfect in every way. It has never had a cig or a beer set on it. Paul McCartney has never sneezed on it. It has a lot less rock and roll history on it, but I used to play it when I was a kid.
These things are weird mechanical instruments. They have motors, and bearings. I went to clean the tube sockets, and needed to oil the bearings. This thing is absolutely perfect, a 1960 time capsule. I just went to help take care of it, because I love these things. That little bit of white stuff on the side was adhesive tape goo, from former Christmas decorations, I polished that off as well.
After I had cleaned the mouse turds out of it, and perked it up a bit, I sat right there, played Whiter Shade of Pale, and vaped away. It didn't feel wrong at all! Perhaps there is a place for Darwin in the church...

Great story nano!
First of all, I've also vaped in a church at a wedding recently, and wasn't sure if I should feel bad about it lol. Glad I'm not the only one!
You have a very nice organ...... I just sold an old fender Rhodes stage piano, i love those old things. Still can't make anything these days with tone to match the classics. You should link us a tune or something, maybe I'll so the same!
Cheers

Well of course battery life depends on individual use, thats pretty obvious but in comparison to the same use with low res compared to high res - guess the answer is high res. I've been getting very good batt life using a 4.4 ohm HV smoktech at 8.5 watts. Awesome flavor, vapor and absolutely no burning taste. So far I've been using it consistently the past 3 days. Usually LR 510 atties on a 3.7v device would have been shot by now. Guess I found my new setup

Good you found your new setup.....I settled in at using Boge 3.0 ohm cartomizers at 8.4 watts.....usually get about a week on a carto and also use this carto in a tank......Tanks like the Cartomator from NHaler are really good IMO....Well of course battery life depends on individual use, thats pretty obvious but in comparison to the same use with low res compared to high res - guess the answer is high res.

Welcome to the club. Also note you might have a bigger problem when you grab that package before your wife
You're so right. Think 15 minutes is enough time to wait before looking for the Darwin?
The hell with it just go for the Darwin right away. This way you will get an evening alone on the couch with the unit and it will most likely be more enjoyable and relaxing
You're killing me
I might get lucky, I get in so late she might already be a sleep.

Hey Drew we are getting close to 7500 posts in this thread and I am certain only a handful of Darwin users jump in here. I was wondering if you have an estimate of how many Darwins are out there in the vaping community now. I fully understand if you do not want to share a solid number but ballpark is OK. I imagine there has to be over 1500 of us by now. Although the number may be off a little since some of us here have more than 1. Bring on the colors and I would have three man!!
