I remember you saying you weren't able to vape- how have you been managing?

**Tapatalk**

Heh. I managed to coax the folks into letting me do it, so long as I don't take mega draws and unleash a storm system. So I've been dialing down the voltage and taking many many tiny puffs. Not too bad at all!

Good for you to find a buffer zone while in a country where e-cigs are illegal.

So random thought.

I reaaaaaaaaaally hope the P3 will have a modular tube design. It's kinda annoying to carry a 18650 provari with a kayfun out for a night of partying. Would be sweet if I could just remove some kinda extension tube to make it 18350. Hmm.

Pre quartz- I've dropped my Kayfun before and it survived.

Quartz- see the crack? :(

Aw, that's a shame. My drop kit just came in yesterday and the glass isn't very thick. I'm concerned I might break mine too since I tend to drop things. Hopefully I'll get a back up (or two) before that happens.

Live well, Love hard, Laugh often & Vape on!

I need more people like you! It irks me to no end when people don't tip me. I always make sure I get their food to them ASAP. As you said, if they can't afford to tip they should pick it up their damn self! Some people are under the impression that if there's a delivery fee that it goes to us. It DOES NOT! We also only get paid a waitresses wages when we're on the road... which is $4 and some odd cents an hour.
I've done delivery before ( almost 20 years ago!). I remember I would get paid at the beginning of the night ( which was also the money I made change with). I remember it being hard work, it beat the heck out of the car, and a lot of people were rude.

I also know drivers would fight for the big tippers, and also know what it's like to deliver to the projects. I was given or offered some strange tips...from beer to food stamps (back in the day, a $10 bill in cash would also buy you $25 in food stamps), to illegal substances.

Along with the jerks, though, I did meet some really cool people.

I remember one regular customer, who was a blind guy who lived alone. He looked like a young Roger Daltry (singer for The Who). Never remembered the guys name, but my personal nickname for him (that I never said to his face) was "Tommy" (google it if you are not old enough to get it). You would get there and he would hand you a huge roll of money, and ask you to take out the pay, and would call out the tip. Ahh the good old days!

Where's a good place to get drip tips. I want long ones and ones that don't get too hot. (acrylic, glass, etc)

tee hee

Why do that when you could just buy a mini?................I am afraid it will be a box mod and then Drummer is out.

Morning peeps. Do I have to go to work today? Where's Chief with his credit card? :D

Well it's between buying an extra mod vs an accessory. Flexibility isn't really a bad thing IMO. And besides, I don't really see any cons being introduced by it's implementation, apart from maybe an additional point of structural failure.

I always tip delivery 20% but who does Rin deliver for????? I had no idea the delivery wage is the same as waitress/waiter wage???? Do they give gas cards too or gas isn't included. That sounds majorly screwed up to me.

I did a lot of waitressing back in the day (well, not too far back cuz I'm still 29 and holding, holding, holding ;)) and I know it's feast or famine nights.

That's really strange. Anyone I've known with "sleeves" have little to no hair because of it. Tattoos tend to affect/effect? hair in most people. That does look highly weird. I'm honestly not big in massive tattoos like that. I prefer mine to be subtle. Most people don't even know I have one, let alone three. And the one is in plain view.

I have one large tattoo on my back right shoulder. I think maybe 5 people know I have it. Global corporations tend to frown on the ink, but since I don't walk around the office with my shirt off all day no one notices. I got it 2 years ago after turning 40, sort of an autobiographical nod to the first 40 years. I like ink and I get the lifestyle, but mine was to mark some important milestones in my life, not to make a statement or be noticed...hence the placement :)

I guess my point was, I agree; I would rather it be the way you suggested but Provape has said, "just buy this smaller one" for years and people did it so I don't know why they would take less revenue. I'd like your suggestion.

Once upon a time in high school, I didn't tip a delivery guy because I was dead broke and only had enough money for whatever I ordered.

My good ole mother gave me a heck of a lecture after: if I don't have enough money, i better well be setting aside the tip money first and just order less. If not, i had better drag my lazy ... out of the door to pick it up myself.

Don't think I've EVER forgotten to tip a service staff ever again in my life.

I worked in restaurants when I was younger but as a cook. I understand the difference between crap service and crap food. Too many people tip the wait staff poorly for the food sucking but that wouldn't be their fault.

We went to a place in Texas that was recommended but the only thing edible was the beans. Everything else in both meals was awful. The manager comped the food bill and we tipped the waitress the comp amount. She didn't do anything wrong, actually it was really good service. She was crying when we left.
