Unfortunately, this is a prime example of an oxymoron

Yep. Totally unrealistic expectation, sorry.

I want back with my computer geek IT/web design classmates. This random humanities class I missed somewhere along the way bites. Fortunately, it's over on Monday, but I'm not responsible if I virtually smack someone.

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.
Yeah. Luckily I deliver to a decent area so I don't get offered food stamps or illegal things. I smell a lot of illegal things when I deliver. Never knew so many people area there "partook". But my car is getting beat. Just took it to get an oil change/inspection. He says it's still in good shape but I fear how long that will last. I plan on having a different job by winter. I make NO money during the winter and the snow here is ridiculous.

I got mine right by trading it for a Hammer Clone!
By the time I got a build on it that didn't leak, it muted the flavor and tightened the draw too much.
I built it more times than any other rba I own with the least amount of success.
I can rock a kayfun time and again with no issues whatsoever.
I hated that thing.

And I'm still sore I can't get a TGT right. Hahahahahahahahaahha (yes I know I say that every single time you bring up the TGT. I'm THAT sore)

In any case, whatever works for you is the best set up. I've never felt the need to subohm or go into high wattage vaping. I do it only because I like trying out stuff, and happened to like it some times based on my mood and juice.

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.
Most chain pizza places are like this. I can't speak for the independent ones. The way it works is we're paid minimum wage in store, $4.85 (or something like that) when we're delivering, and a $1.50 per delivery for mileage. Even so, if people never tipped, we'd make minimum wage or less considering that we have to pay for gas, car maintenance, etc.

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.
I've never tipped based on how the food was. I would think it'd be comment sense not to do so but you know how that is. I always tip based on how the waitress performs. (LoL) Just the other day we were at Cracker Barrel and got excellent service, so she got an excellent tip and I told the cashier she was a great waitress. Not sure if that meant anything or anything happened as a result but they asked how everything was. The waitress has to be REALLY bad for me not to tip anything. I am usually a very good tipper because I know it's a difficult/stressful job and they don't have a normal base pay.

2 extensions will let you use an 18650 in the Mini.
However, Provape does not sell the extension by itself. You would have to get it elsewhere.

"The wide end cap plus the optional extension ring (+$12.00) will allow you to use the following batteries:
The ProVari - 18490 and 18650
The ProVari Mini - 18350 and 18490"

OHHH okay :) I figured I was misunderstanding you somehow. I hate when say, you have a 60 dollar check, it's comped to 40, and you get 6-8 dollars instead of 12. And if I get one more 6 dollar tip on 39 I might scream. That's 40 PEOPLE! 40 DOLLARS = 8 in tip. End rant. :D Pray for me on my double today LOL.
Hey girl! GIRL! Betta' watch it. I'll tip you $7.80, all in pennies... then complain to your manager that you're rude. LoL : P

On the Sophia if all R wire is used, it could melt the blue insulator, that's why it's not recommended. But I've been dry burning my coils by using a torch on them without taking the ceramic cup out of the base because I'm lazy and it's easy. So far, I haven't ruined the blue insulator but it's still not recommended.

I know it's not recommended on the Sophia. NR wire does not heat like Kanthal does. That's not the entire answer, but all I remember at this moment.

The extreme cloud chasers also use high vg, which mutes the flavor too.
IF VG juices are done CORRECTLY, the flavor is fine. Problem is that most aren't or they don't know how to. You have to add something else to it besides water in order for the flavors to pop. DIY'ing shows you a lot of things. Or you can use extra flavoring to compensate. This stuff I have right now is 100% VG and the flavor is wonderful. I am actually really impressed. (Toka Cola from Open Source Vaping) They are a pretty cool company and use all organic ingredients, down to the sweetener. They also list EXACTLY what's in the juice, down to the percentage of flavor. It's nice to know what's in my stuff. Great customer service as well.

honestly? I'd shop FastTech. Here ya go - just 487 results for "drip tip" to look through.
I've got $4 tips I love from them. Free shipping.
They have some junk, but some stuff is just fine, and pricing is fantastic...

Yeah... I looked through them a couple times before but the problem was that nothing was in stock. They take long enough to ship and get here... Even longer when it's not actually there. I wish they'd stopped selling stuff that isn't physically there. It's just stupid and causes problems. (thus the reason why one person will buy a version of something, say the Nemesis clone, and another will buy the SAME exact item but get something different. between the time the first person placed the order, the vendor runs out and has to get the product from a different distributor than the original) (this has happened, admitted by F.T. themselves)

I was referring more to the Cloud Crowd. I don't think taste is very important when they are in competition.

It's official. I am just backwards :)

I pulled the air tube completely out at first with no leaks and then replaced it with a larger diameter air tube and it is amazing.

I've never tipped based on how the food was. I would think it'd be comment sense not to do so but you know how that is. I always tip based on how the waitress performs. (LoL) Just the other day we were at Cracker Barrel and got excellent service, so she got an excellent tip and I told the cashier she was a great waitress.

I am usually a very good tipper because I know it's a difficult/stressful job and they don't have a normal base pay.

I never tip $0 but we ate at a Bob Evans where we saw our waitress exactly one time. She took so long to come to us that we had already picked out food and waited forever. Then a runner brought our food out and we had to go to the front to get our bill and pay after waiting forever. She had no tables, in fact......the whole place was empty. We left her a quarter and two pennies in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head.

Hey! No dissing Def Leppard

They do that to themselves.

You know what happens when you play a Nickleback album backwards?

It still sucks

Yeah. I like clouds but I'm not into chasing them. LoL. Sub-ohming is not something I usually do but it does look cool. I don't know how people do it with NIC though. That sh is strong!

Agreed, you want to order stuff in stock, or stuff where you don't care it if takes a month...

Recently we had REALLY bad service at Quaker Steak. 2 waitresses, one was training, and they messed up our orders 3 different times. (it was wing day and you can only get a certain amount of wings done at a time, thus the multiple orders) We waited at least 5 minutes before they even came at the beginning to get our drink order. They only came over maybe 5 times the entire time, and most of that was screwing up our order. Then we see them sitting over at an empty table, playing on their phones. It was ridiculous. So I tipped a bunch of pennies, all face down and that was it. I wanted them to know that I didn't forget to tip them... they just sucked.
