Thank you for your critique. I am happy to hear what good service you received there. The Columbia store has a nice selection of gear and juices, I expect Nashville to be similar. Almost 50 miles from me; I see a little road trip in my future. :thumb:

Pffff...50 miles....after driving from Millington to Atlanta and back, driven to Leesville, LA, and back....shoot 45 minutes!

Piece of cake!

Not to mention you can have the fine dining experience of Jack in The Box, or White Castle! Matter of fact there is a JIB down the street from Nashville Vapor :thumb:

See being raised and growd up in So.Cal JIB was like always there, and they have had their 2 original tacos for .99 for like 45+ years!

I came as far as Memphis, no JIB, Krystal' (true gut bombs), we don't have White Castle' anywhere west of Nashville, and I always rather disliked Krystal', well I hadn't been in Memphis two years and went to Nashville on business, and White Castle ruined the little square burger experience for me since then, as White Castle' are actually great in comparison to Krystal! Now then I don't eat fast food at all hardly unless I have to, but I will eat 4 JIB original tacos, or 5 White Castle' anytime!:thumb:

Now then I did have the pleasure of the fine dining experience of New Orleans Manor (now closed) which featured a all you can eat seafood buffet, and after 30 years the family closed it due to economic factors. I mean back in the early 80' it was like $29.95 per person! But what a place! All you can eat king crab, oysters, mussels, if it swam or lived in water it was on the buffet! Before you finished your first trip to the buffet a server would ask if you wold like a Filet Mignon, broiler lobster tail, or roasted squab with your meal for like $10.00 more!

Now that was classic Nashville!

I have to try and stay away from fast food cuz I am diabetic. I also am waiting on my Dr to ok me for major back surgery, so a drive to Nashville is tough for me. I have to go up there next month so I will probably do the update then.

My ex MIL used to have her family from NY bring about 100 White Castle burgers out with them when they visited her in San Jose, CA. Only time I have had them. I remember Jack in the Box when I lived in CA. Pretty popular out there. I never got to go to the seafood place; they closed before I found out about it.

If you like Southern food, you should go to Monell's in Nashville, up by the state capitol. They have a great family style dinner - seat about 10 or so people at the table and serve up all kinds of food in large bowls or platters. Best fried chicken around and some great sides. And very inexpensive. Get to meet and talk to some nice people, lots of regulars and always some tourists.

Yeah I've heard of that place!

I stayed in La Vegne because my kiddo lives in Murfreesboro, so we went to Hickory Falls in Smyrna (down the road)..great place to eat and reasonable!
(if ya' like steak and prime rib)! Right off I 24, exit 66!

Hope all goes well with your back, I'm going in for my third nerve block this Thursday, I've been in agony for like two weeks!

Just a matter of time before I'll have to undergo the knife....

Luckily I'm still Type 2 and have it under very good control as I was always hypoglycemic until like 5 years ago, and I gained a load of weight..now I'm back down to 225-220 which is a lot better than 275-280!

Monell's in Nashville took over the old New Orleans Manor on Murfressboro Pike by the airport! WOWSER!

I just checked out their website, I knew about the one on 6th. St in Germantown (orig) ....check out their site!

Same menus, same prices!

Gonna see if I can talk the Mrs into a dinner road trip this week, I'm on vacation until next Monday....PIG OUT..LOL :thumb:

My new additions....

These are for Xstich as promised!







They are pretty similar in diameter, the SOD has a much deeper well and wicks and distributes juice like all get out!

If you go with a SOD as they are a bit easier because no machining is required, just the BF conversion kit and you have several options:

SV SOD kit $69.95 with two caps
SV Cloud Chasing Edition $80.00
SV BF conversion kit $12.00*
SV Cloud Cap ONLY $35.00
SV SOD hcigar Clone $30.00

* Needed regardless of atty for BF

They come in various colors.

Please take a look see and tell me what you all think will be the best color to compliment my Woodville

On a serious note, the Tungsten looks awesome!

Personally the SOD clone and the BF kit is the way to go!

I love it!
I do too! Although Rob is shipping my forgotten RM5 today so I will have that to compare soon. I have duals built into the SOD and love it love it love it. May pick another up for the VS Squonker too...larger deck=more room for nickel.
