Lol. Delta's been HORRID IMO for the past 2 years. Shudder. It's bad enough for me to swear never to use em again.

US Air (which we all call either Useless Air or US Scare around here ), has never been anything but major suck for me.
My experience with American, was less than stellar. A week after my last flight with them, they announce thir merger with US Airways. A match made in hell

My one experience with delta, over 15 years ago, was great.
For me, the only one I have had great luck with each and every time, is United.

Delta was the gold standard for a long time. They treated people like customers, and genuinely went about their business properly. Since their merger with Northwest, it has been a slow spiral down. Now, it's old, dirty planes, customers seem to be more of a nuisance to staff than folks who pay their salaries, and schedules that change on a whim.

Sadly, this is just a typical example of all that's wrong with corporate America. At some point in time, there has to be a realization that profits happen because of actions, and are not a primary focus...

I really should have just drove.

Does Red have a Private "I" following him around at work to take those work-action shots or does he ask one of his subordinates to do it for him? 2guns.gif

No kidding. Delta has the grumpiest and uncourteous staff HANDS DOWN. 4 flights this year, and they were all horrid. Shudder

We got the Leinenkugel variety pack today. Lemon berry shandy is YUM.

Love Summer Shandy! I never thought I'd like a citrus beer until the bartender insisted I try one on him at our local fine dining establishment. Some Lemon mash in the bottom...so good!!!

That looks great. Your paint is holding up much better than mine. But mine gets a lot of time in a tool pouch & pocket.

You'll see many folks in here with immaculate Provaris. Some will wrap them to keep them from being dinged. It's like I said before, some people see these PVs as accessories...others see them as tools.

Nothing wrong with either view but I'm from the latter camp. I've got plenty of toys and accessories in my life. I didn't buy Provari to make a statement, I bought it because I felt it would provide the most reliable means of vaping when I really needed it. Those who came to vaping as a smoking cessation alternative know how important that is.

My blue 'vari is in the boat and it gets banged around plenty. My bronze Mini is my daily vape and I've dropped it several times. If they have scratches to me that's good news because it means they are getting used!!! :D

139 pages???? I haven't been gone that long.

Welcome back...and trust me when I tell you, you're better off not trying to catch up ;)

Yeah, but how many of those pages are actually about vaping???:?:

I hear ya...but my only other options are United or Lufthansa...which have proven worse. Thank you corporate travel policy. Lol.

Lufthansa's business class is really good though. Our company is kind enough to but us in business class for international flights. It is almost a necessity though when you fly for 12 hours and then arrive at 7am to work for another 12 hours before you can even think of sleeping again. Throw losing 6 hours in there with the time change and it makes for a helluva hangover. I made that trip about 8 times in the last 2 years.

We had a similar policy several "owners" ago. Now, whatever is the cheapest seat is the one you're in. Regardless of distance or time. Needless to say, work always starts the following day now too ;)

Don't mean to interrupt but I just saw Todd's review on the kato mod. It's kinda like a microstick, but can take 18650, tiny as hell, tells atties up to 23.5mm diameter.......

I might have just wet my pants. HARD.

Scratch that. Def did.

Love the idea of the mod, but it like $300 US, so not gonna happen. The VTR is one of my favorite mods (ProVari being #1 of course). Got my money back on the Microstick that hasn't shipped yet because I'd rather have room for a bigger atty than a smaller one. The Vaporshark I didn't plan on buying fulfilled my need for a really small mod. I'm assuming the Kato Mod will be cloned, and I will buy it then.

Same here. The pricing is waaaaaay ridiculous. It's a mech for mod's sake. Not a fan of these manufacturers.

But ah, I love the form factor

I'm not a fan of high priced mods but I've been using my Microstick daily when I'm at work now. I love it for it's small size.

Grin. I would've bought one in a heartbeat, except the thought of me having to buy a whole new set of smaller atties for it scares me. Knowing myself, I'll NEED to buy a good number of em and those babies are pricey as hell

Delta just keeps getting worse and worse. Thank you Mr. Anderson, for bringing all that was wrong with NorthWorst and deploying it throughout a well functioning and customer focused airline! Way to go! :-x

Delta is the absolute worst! Won't fly them at all any more. Last two times they cancelled my flight--gave no reason but everyone knew it was because the flights were not full. Told me it would be 4 days before they could get me on another flight--BOTH times. Of course offered no vouchers for hotel, food etc.
Rented car and drove home both times--but will never book a Delta flight again.

:O oh that lucky twerp :p

I'm sure he would be. I have the same exact one too :p

I know what you mean. That's why I use my favorite juice in it so I don't have to change it out. I always like to have a tank filled with my favorite juice.

That's just awful, and should be illegal. The worst one the ever pulled on me (yet) is sticking in the ATL terminal overnight with a $20 meal voucher...and all that was open was McD's.
