Hi Norman :wub:

NormanNutz or is it NutzNorman ? How's it going man ?

Morning everyone
Just had a firing pin angled tip, snap off, when I was filing it, snapped clean off, on the bend itself, must have been fractured from new, & it's finally given way
One of those things
Frank

No time to catchup since being here last but thought I'd best check-in before Kaypers gives me a tongue lashing (no, nut what you evil minded folks thinking). The main reason for my absence was Zippo's vet had given me some very bad news. Took him in on Monday for his 6 month checkup and because his gums were a bit pale in color the vet took a blood sample. His blood count was found to be way too low. So more blood tests were done and it was determined that Zippo's kidney seems to be failing. Been to the vet everyday since, having to administer fluids to Zippo intravenously. Zippo didn't take well to a new diet and after vomiting, refused to eat for a couple of days. Needless to say, I have been worried sick and been spending all my time with him. Praise God he has taken a little food today and feeling a little better. No telling how all of this will turn out but there is a chance Zippo may not live for very long. He needs to continue the iv on Monday and another blood test will be taken to see if there is any improvement. Will try and make short visits here as time permits.

Sorry for the late hellos Frank, Lisa and Darrel but Zippo got up and had to tend to him for a bit.

Hi Loungers - Too busy to catch up. Just saying hallo before departing for Washington DC. Having all sorts of vape stuff delivered to the hotel, including some juices from naturally-extracted-tobacco.com Sam, but they are so slow wonder if they will have my order processed in time. Hope to say hallo when I'm more in your time zone.

Drive by. Attack rats day. T-Rat is, again, in living room walls. Had to resort to poison where we think they get in and hidden, and do a better job closing up the opening, and a tray, away from dogs, in laundry room. Can't use poison in garage as some of the rat eating snakes, non venomous, are over wintering there. They should be "hibernating" by now but last Sat night, when we came in 24" juvie Yellowbelly Racer scurried under freezer right as we walked in. Close neighbor caught a 5' Rattlesnake, measured live and not stretched out dead, in our front common area less than 2 weeks ago. They should all be dormant by now. They came out almost two months early this spring. Things are chang'n folks. (BTW... most snakes are exaggerated in length as peeps measure them dead and they stretch out in length, especially the really heavy snakes like Rattlesnakes. Fun, fun!!!

I hate setting the big rat snap traps!!!!!! The springs are so strong and they flip up in air when they go off. Think I'll wait on those till DH gets home. He likes setting them. Guy thing I guess.

We have the smaller version of this, the one for mice, and it works great.

But for the animal lovers here i'll rephrase it!

Suppose that at the end of a natural lifespan lived in pampered elegance, fed only the best hay and silage known to man, shown in the ring and allowed to frolic freely until old age with other cattle, until arthritis exacted its toll, only having its nipples rubbed when it mooed approval - it then died of natural causes.

Be a shame to waste that skin no?

:p

Poor guy, sorry to hear he's not feeling well. :(

Good morning to you all.

I have another question it will probably seem dumb to most.

Is there a reo thread that will help me decide between a vv and a mechanical?

I have never had a mechanical but don't like the idea of two batteries and the size of the vv.

I work 12 hours a day so I need good battery life but small enough to fit in a shirt pocket.

If anyone has time to pm email even text or chat on the phone with me let me know please

There's hundreds of those threads. Just browse thru the reos mods section you will see lots. A 18490 with a spare batt and extra bottle of juice will likely last you the day I know it is about right for me. A grand would last even longer but slightly larger although it's really not so big

At this point in my vaping I have not completely quit analogs.

I will do more research. I can never find the reo section through tap a talk. I already have 18650 batteries so I guess the grand may be better although batteries don't cost that much. I will look for measurements to see what's better.

Too small can be a pain for me as I'm 6'4" and have long hands

When i got my first Reo is when I completely quit the analogs nothing else gave me the satisfaction I needed the Grand isn't so big so that would likely work well for you heres some measurements for you http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/161169-reo-measurements-parts-terminology.html

PM sent:

A Regular Reo Grand with an RM2 will be a perfect size and is still .... pocket-able. With higher level nic juice and lower ohms coils you can have the Reo hit you as hard or harder than smoking a no filter Kool.
