The ProVarinati Diner & Saloon #5

This is what happens when you have more money to buy mods!





I couldn't find my Nuppin.....looked all over....ah it was on my Reo Grad on the shelf!

The one 'n only @Stormy1960 collection. I was sad when she sold all her stuff.
I seriously doubt I will ever come remotely close to having this much vape stuff.

!!! G*NOTE FIVE !!!

Much neater than mine!

If my wife organized it, it would look like that.

I don't waste my time with little bottles of off the wall flavors, if I tried them and didn't like them I asked a friend or 2, and then chunked them.

My DIY flavors, primarily 4oz or larger bottles (I know what I like to vape).

My mods
2 Reo'
5 Provari
10 Mechs
8 VV VW non Provari mods

Attys; Oh snap....>30 easily NO LIE!

LOTS OF SPARE PARTS!

I have attys I've never used! NIB! (that's bad...)

Okay so I'm weird...

Very little debt...

We use a calculator when we go shopping and are as frugal as millennials but for different reasons..

We have more money than millennials, we spent 18-25 years raising kids and sending them off to school, paying off our home and cars...

We want to blow money on ourselves now.....

My wife buys clothes, I buy vape stuff...!

PARTYYYY!

Yeah, well, I'm Generation X. Most of us feel the Baby Boomers destroyed what the Greatest Generation (their parents, our Grandparents) built, leaving their children (Generation X) and Grandchildren (Millennial's) to pick up the pieces...

Hi Ladie K!

 

[ItTechy]

Yeah, well, I'm Generation X. Most of us feel the Baby Boomers destroyed what the Greatest Generation (their parents, our Grandparents) built, leaving their children (Generation X) and Grandchildren (Millennial's) to pick up the pieces...

Two of my kids are X 2 are Millennials....

It's not what we did or did not do;

You see you were raised in / during the information technology revolution.
Everything as far as communication to playing games evolved tremendously and VERY fast!

Likewise in this same time frame politicians became more corrupt and greedy raising our national debt, taxes and the cost of living far faster and greater to our income, yet we were raising you brats (lol) and trying to provide, etc.

All the time many families fell apart, kids became dependent on technology instead of humans, parents did not want to change with the changes, all the while those greedy 'tards (all of them, dems and repubs) kept the machine spinning along...

If we are guilty of anything it really started with my parents; they never stopped government from getting to where it is today!

SHORT ANSWER...

Bet you don't know this: Before WWII there was no federal income tax, and it was supposed to stop after WWII, it never did, and that was the beginning of the end!

I do believe the system will fall apart, long before I'm dead too, and that sucks!

I'm only 60 and while that may seem old to you, it isn't considering people live to their 90' now!

 

[ItTechy]

The world today is kind of like it makes you feel you have to have "things" you need those things to be current and in touch and up to date....to be "included"...

Like Smart Phones..our system has become so dependent on technology and it is advancing so fast that the "phone" you bought less than a year ago is about to be obsoleted in that it cannot keep up with the system developed around it.

Lets all go live off the grid!

I got my purple provari replacement, the mini gmz...
i can confirm that the finish on my blem gmz standard is not the same quality.

the blem gmz needs to be polished. there is a large difference in shine and slickness.
it's a little bit of a bummer.



Also, my Ud vape pocket bag came in.
gearbest for $17 ish.

I love love it. To me the quality is awesome.. worth prolly $60 compared to other bags i have bought. including the vapin bagz.. i paid $50 for one... just recently ordered one for $5, the bigger one.

but back to the vaping pocket bag...
holds ALL of my building stuff. wire, cotton, silica, screw drivers, scissors, pliers etc.

2 pockets hold my provaris... any size, with tanks and drip tips. holds 6 batteries.
would also fit 2 reo's or 2 mvp's or similar size.personally I have packaged nautilus coils and 2 15 mil bottles in those box mod pockets.

room for 2 provari extension caps, in their own little pocket, or two tanks, or 2 10 ml juice bottles
also 3 pockets that will hold 3 glass 15 ml bottles, or 3 30 mil unicorn bottles. or 3 more provaries, any size with out tanks or in mini mode, maybe standard if topped with a dripper.

plenty of room for some eye glass rags or tissues... i also don't have it stuffed. i could defintately store some cash, credit cards, and my phone along with everything else i've mentioned.

it has a handle and a detachable lightly padded shoulder strap.
the zippers are high quality and work effortlessly,

the UD logo is embroidered and not glued.

you could easily clip your car keys to the same D ring that the shoulder strap hooks too.

it sits up right and lays when zipped up or with both sides down.
All the pockets are lined, there's padding.. i don't foresee it causing any scratches on mods for example

can you tell how happy i am about it

Hi Ladie K!

HIYA!

The world today is kind of like it makes you feel you have to have "things" you need those things to be current and in touch and up to date....to be "included"...

Like Smart Phones..our system has become so dependent on technology and it is advancing so fast that the "phone" you bought less than a year ago is about to be obsoleted in that it cannot keep up with the system developed around it.

Lets all go live off the grid!

my husband and i tried to.
it's ALMOST impossible.

luckily me and him, we hardly ever take our phones with us.

i watch my 20 year old son, and my 28 year old brother...
OH MY GOSH... it doesn't matter if its the guy or the girl.... you better answer that phone. they freak out if the girl don't answer... they will just constantly call and text till she does, then fight for an hour arguing and carrying on... and i watch them both panic, just coming down stairs to say hi to me, they freak out if they don't have their phone, girlfriend, is probably blowing up my phone right now... (the girls just upstairs in the room)
and sure enough before they can get the phone, here comes ticked off girlfriend, cuz she called 3 times in the last 5 mins and he didn't answer... now here proceeds a two hour long argument over how one don't care about the other.

do you know that they check fb to see how long ago the other was active!! and then call her/him and argue about what they were doing on fb in the middle of the night.

I must be getting really old, cuz i don't comprehend.
I leave my phone at home all the time... and if i take it with me, i leave it in the car. I'll get to when i get to it.


I feel like we've raised a generation of children who have to be the center of attention all the time. there is no alone time, or down time. no privacy.

i mean my 4 year old daughter watches videos of people playing video games... i don't get it. she loves it, i'm like play the game yourself... who needs the constant commentary and nonstop noise... it baffles me.

not to mention, every one i run into has social anxiety.
Not kidding, we all do.... get over it.

I can't get a job, i have social anxiety... are you kidding me?!

and then i get to listen how it's always the parents fault. they were to0 nice, bailed them out of everything, never had a chance,

or too mean, too poor, too bossy.

oh my parents don't love me, they never do anything for me said my brothers 24 year old girlfriend. had me feeling all sorry for this girl... as soon as her truck breaks down, there's dad, towing the truck, buying new engine, but daddy don't love her.. and neither does her mother, but she only takes her to every dr appt and takes her to work even though work alone is a 45 minute drive for the women ONE WAY!!!

but they don't do anything for her.

why do generations today feel that it's their parents job to give them their money and time unconditionally.
my brother still calls my mom for money for cigarettes. He is freaking 28! he had money to go to the bar, had money to eat chinese all week.

I don't get it.. I got a son who is about to be homeless, becasue i'm moving and not taking him with me, he will be 21 when i leave, he hsn't worked in 2 months and isn't hardly looking. gets upset because i wont let him eat what ever he wants in my house... i won't let his friends come over to drink and spill crap all over my house. but it's my fault.... he claims i'm abandoning my child by leaving him behind. i love him, but really... he's a grown man. I don't want to support him

ok this is busting my vibe... i need to find my happy place... cuz this gets my blood pressure going.

Good to see people letting off steam.

I was watching MASH on Netflix, in the 5th season, and I just found out they will quit streaming it 01Apr. Nice of them to tell me 3 weeks ahead of time.

Guess what I'm doing?

Taking a break as a friend on Xbox Live messaged me and wants some, "travel with ProVari" advice. Looks like I'm good for something.

Daylight savings

 

[Danousa]

Do people still use carto tanks?? I have a couple and some carrots that I bought ages ago and never liked the system. Wonder if its worth the trouble to trying to sell.

 

[coldgin96]

Yeah, 16 ing clocks here. I hate daylight savings time. I wish we just wouldn't do it.

 

[ScandaLeX]

Well you do give a lot of stuff away[emoji23] That's a lot of vape gear there

Yeah I do....and even when I say I'm gonna stop, I still give something away. Just bought another eVIC VTC Mini (white) but don't like it cause it's not polished like the red one I got. Told a guy I know if he wants it he can have it........the VTC!!! the VTC!!! (gotta clarify ish around here)!!!

He told me, he'd rather have some {E}juice... really??? Now THAT'S not happenin'!!!!

!!! G*NOTE FIVE !!!

 

[ScandaLeX]

Lets all go live off the grid!

That doesn't even sound like a good idea to me. I used to stop whatever I was doing to get my phone if I left it home. The only reason I don't any more is cause I can make/receive calls from my watch- the Gear S -unlike most smartwatches that require ones phone being within bluetooth range of the watch.

I couldn't imagine life off the grid.

dang... wish i noticed the orange kabki orings at HOH when i made my order. I've got pink, purple and glow in the dark blue.... but i didn't see the orange!!!

Well, in the 1950's and 60's most families were single income families. During the 70's families began moving to 2 income families. Inflation, stagflation, oil prices and Saturday night fever continuing into the 90's most families needed to be 2 income just to keep up. Now it is the second decade into the 21st century and families need 3 income just to exist. Wages have not kept up with inflation, good paying jobs that the average high school graduate could get have moved outside the American borders. Americans have helped jobs leave by purchasing low cost, imported goods. American companies now use the excuse that the share holders demand higher earnings per share, so they cannot pay living wages, letting the government subsidize the 40 work week with food stamps, etc. Yes, I did participate in all of this, and continue to do so, not by choice but by need. If you want to change what is going on, become an informed VOTER. Run for office, become involved with your community, get off the game/ computer/ cell phone and make noise! It is not "someone needs to change this", but "I want to change this, and this is the solution"
Thank you for your time, we now return you to the regular scheduled postings...
