The Evel One

[El Dee]

Here's hoping everyone had a very merry Christmas !!!!!!!!! Nothing much too report here...I did pick up a new GPS and a auto jump box...Thanks Satan.....errrrrr Santa!!!!!!!!!!!

You wanna know what ruffles my feathers???? Superior but really inferior products...Back when I was awaiting one of the first ever carto tanks word was being thrown around that they fit the carto too loosely...Well the company stopped shipment and adjusted everything...I never did get a carto into either of the tanks without ripping the o-rings...Even when I tried months later with a tool...ripped...I threw those suckers away...I just go back too dripping and do so for over a year...I see someone highly praising a tank...I look at it and order an XL...My debit card is promptly compromised....XL too me means an XL should fit perfectly...I mean there is no XXL.....With the carto threads slightly inside the bottom cap the top of the carto is still recessed inside the top just too where a drip tip will fall out...That's with everything seated properly...I know I can cut down the tank but dangitt BOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd picked up a nice pryex tank here recently too...That dang sucker looks like it will hold 5 gallons though...I measured it and the carto fits perfectly....

 

[FranC]

Glad you got ya fit Dee. LOL.

We had a very nice Christmas,thank you. I got hubby a new jump pack too!!

I need to replace the inner orings in my pyrex tank. The last time I filled it a couple of days ago I guess I didn't inspect good enough and the next morning my juice was all over my desk. I had that tank on my VVPV with a sealed adapter, and thank goodness I left it laying on it's side. I won't complain tho...had this tank for a year and a half and have never changed the orings.

 

[El Dee]

That's what I'm saying...Those first tanks never accepted the first carto without o-ring damage. I even employed a slim drip tip as an insertion tool...I checked every known source for the o-rings that company used and no go...Finally I ordered some way overpriced ones from said company and received the same size rings I'd been looking at locally...Whether or not they ever got their issues fixed I've no idea...Cheaper for me too just keep moving. This new tank with everything firmly seated and the threads as far into the bottom cap as possible still leaves the carto @ 1/16th short from fitting flush. 2 Mings lost due too this fact...Though I did find one of those...The one with the chip in it!!! What bugs me about the situation is the way this company presents itself...If that tank was the best possible...the carto would fit flush and just possibly they would have pryex as an option at least....At least you can fit the dang carto without loosing an o-ring...Guess I should quit my beeching and pull a file outta the dang tool box...Some adjustments may be neccessary.....

I got the same tanks, except the one that melted off my old Buzz Pro, with the same o-rings they came with. I've ran a bunch of cartos through them (mostly Fusions) and haven't leaked a drop. I want this tank. I think it really looks great. Now all I need is

Oh BTW I got my card comprimised too LD. They didn't know I only keep a couple bucks in it and that's all they could get but they didn't even get the $0.88 they tried for. My bank still wanted to change the card. Someone in R.I.

 

[Bovinia]

I bought a pre paid visa yesterday and ordered my Christmas present from my MIL. It still has $4.15 on it...they won't get much if that one gets compromised

In light of my new "separated" marital status, I ordered non vape gear to remind me where to keep my head...

 

[5cardstud]

You are a very Smart Lady Bo. I follow that same mind set. You gotta figure without God there wouldn't be any Christmas.

 

[FranC]

Good for you girl

 

[5cardstud]

Oh I forgot Bo. I've been separated for about 30 yrs. I figured as long as I stayed that way I couldn't make the mistake of getting married again.

 

[Bovinia]

LOL 5C!! Seems I didn't learn that lesson soon enough.

 

[Wharf Rat]

God bless you Bov.... and he will provide and grant you the gifts that are promised.

You know there are only two times to go to a meeting, one is when you feel like you need one... and the other is when you feel like you don't need one...... Which one is it today


BTW your sidewalk is looking pretty damn good right now........... (((Hugs)))

 

[El Dee]

In my time I've seen more than a few lives compromised by alcohol. I've seen people die due too alcohol...Believe it right now I've had way more than my share...Somewhere down that road I quit...Not due too any one thing in particular...Never really even said that I'd quit..Just kinda did...Anything in excess can be bad...

52 and married from 9/9/89 till 92...Can't say that I'll be doing that again...More than my share of girlfriends...My take is don't do it unless you mean it...It's a serious thing...Marriage is not El Dee approved..Scares the sheet outta me...for reaL!!!!!!

Five that is a snazzy tank. I was laughing at the hack who stole my card...Still there was @$40 in there. I keep a minimum,, save for the day I make the house payment and by that time it's been drained for a month. I deposit only what I need and then go back if I'm ordering stuff. I noticed the tank didn't have an o-ring around the carto...Kinda like a grommet..I often wondered why someone didn't use something similar and made of silicone....This tank I've been using is easy on the rings...If the damn tip would fit all would be good...

Nice bracelet there Bov!! Hope you enjoy it...Good karma your way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whist I'm here..I grew up in the church..I believe in God the Father all mighty..Though I rarely attend I find the Lord often...Christmas my church lost two members...It's a small rural church...So two is a big number..Julia was as fine an example of a lady that you're likely too find..She and her husband Gattis{he passed several years back} ran a local farm supply...One late night I passed out while behind the wheel...I came two as the car was going airborne on the wrong side of the ditch. I cleared @40 feet and landed just in time too split two loaded 18 wheelers..I had threaded a needle here...They were backed up too a soybean field that I made a royal mess of plowing my way back towards the road...The ditch jerked the wheel outta my grasp and ate the car..inches from making it out...This was around 82 a cell phone was just a fantasy..I surveyed the damage got on the hood and leaned back on the windshield...the car btw was a 71 Dodge Demon...I passed right on back out...The trucks and soybeans were owned by Gattis...He weren't none too happy as he had heard all the framming and bamming and had come too investigate...He pulled my car out and drove it too my house...Never did he mention it after that night. Gattis put Julia in charge of keeping a check on me...More than once she got all up in my business...I'll miss her....My cousin L.C. ,, Now you gotta admit L.C. is a dang cool name. He grew up on the farm and never left...dedicated his life too the bottle..Still he was a good man and we were friends until the end. Now you can believe there are many stories involving old Lester..Really I'd not intended too tell that first story...LC and Julia are in Heaven tonight..We got a family dinner at my Aunt's tomorrow...Stay tuned as this could get interesting.....

Well the heavenly Father runs things for the 5 now. I kinda made a mess of it so I turned it over to him. I'm not much on church though as I believe they spend more time on the church and church things and not enough on the lord. Besides I never have liked dealing with a middle man. I go right to the top and skip all the earthly people that think they know what I need. I told them once that they could use my kitchen table to gather all the different denominations and I would even supply the coffee or what ever. Then when they figured out which one of them was right I would join that one but none of them want to do that so I guess I'll stick with the one they all say they follow.

 

[Bovinia]

I already know that God is working on and in my life....He brought me in contact with all of you Things are heating up as expected here, hubby is none too happy about the changes I'm making, but I'll be moving forward regardless.

Dee, I'm sorry for the losses, it's hard to lose people you love and admire. I'm pretty much the same as you and 5, I don't consider myself any specific denomination, and for the very reasons 5 mentions.

 

[5cardstud]

BTW This tank. NO WAY. I hate it when I try to buy a product and I see handling charges popping up. Shipping yes, but all the other charges should be put in the price of the product. If it sells for $50.00 then put $50.00. Don't wait until checkout and then find out it's really not $50.00 but $75.00 after they start adding all the BS charges. It's just another play to get you in the door and it makes me feel like they think I'm a sucker.

I'm fortunate, got one of Mike's M1A1 as soon as they came out, never been tempted to try anything else.

Fusion/M1A1 on a bp just plain works, every time

 

[Bovinia]

I agree Mark! I got my first 2 tanks before Mike came out with the M1A1, and my Phin was a gift from Moorea.

I forgot to toss my Phiniac in my purse before I went to town today, I was going to stop and get some new inner o rings for it

 

[908Tracy]

Agree whole heartedly!!! Nothing but M1A1's and Phiniacs for me!!!

 

[5cardstud]

I agree they are the best but as everyone knows I like a variety of tanks.

 

[Bovinia]

I love your fishing bobber tank!
