Ok so I went and looked up hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia because I recognized some of it as being Greek (I'm Greek). Turns out it is not a real word and here are the parts of which it is made and their meanings:

hippopoto = greek for hippo
monstro = latin for monster or monstrous
sesqui = latin for one and a half
pedali(o) = latin for foot
phobia = greek for fear

Someone, somewhere had some fun putting this all together.

Here is the longest English word: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, it's a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine silica particles, specifically from a volcano; medically, it is the same as silicosis.

And while I was looking all this up I was vaping on my lovely, brand-new Provari dragon :wub:

I hope you're enjoying your new provari! I'm happy for you that you were able to get more of those devices you love![emoji4]

How do you like the Kompact Kayfun?

I think they are great. Just wish tgey were easier to build.

I have 2 of the KFL+ shorty tanks in rotation every day, on a Coolfire IV and a COV Mini Volt. I keep 1 filled with Caramel Latte and the other with Peach Cobbler! They were what I learned to build coils on. I have enough parts in my "stash" to make a whole lot more, because FT has been discontinuing them very quickly.

How's life treating you these days? Buy any new shinny vaping goodies?

Not since my win. It's been a struggle for us economically as unemployment is saying I'm not eligible for benefits (which I'm fighting right now) but next week is my birthday so hopefully I'll get a new toy or gift certificate or something. Everyone that knows me knows that I love all things vape related !

If only FT would hustle up and ship my bases I would have more of them. They still haven't shipped the ones I ordered 7/4.

Depending upon which ones you ordered...good luck getting them! I ordered 3 more of SKU #2128901 back on June 17th, when they and a few other things were to ship within 7 days. Got a shipment notification for just the other things on June 28th (4 days late). It also said the bases "would be shipped within a few days" in a separate package. The other things came this Tuesday. Wednesday I get an email from FT saying the bases I ordered have been discontinued and I won't be getting any of them.

I'm getting really tired of that happening with FT. IMO, they should NOT list something for sale that they do NOT know for certain that they WILL have!

Isn't it gorgeous? The meticulous engraving is just amazing to me. I'm happy for you that you got one!

I hope that doesn't happen! Maybe I should go try and order a different kind too and hope that *something* makes it through. Or just order a few more doggys instead.

    Several dictionaries would disagree. Though it's clearly ironic in origin it is a real word. Granted, it is not an actual phobia, at least one recognized by the psychiatric community, it is technically a real word.;)

    And to try to follow your lead and stay on topic, ummm, I'm currently vaping a Coppervape with a Yeti, another CV with a Maze, and a Coolfire 4 with a Supertank mini.

    From hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian, an extension of sesquipedalian with monstrum (“monster”) and a truncated, misspelled form of hippopotamus, intended to exaggerate the length of the word itself and the idea of the size of the words being feared; combined with phobia.

    I have seen a lot of stuff I order from them discontinued recently. Glad I am just about done.

    Yup you're right. Different dictionaries say different things. You'd think they would all get their act together!

    BTW I hope I didn't offend you with my previous post. I sure didn't mean too. I should have been more tactful. Friends?

    How long has the microdrip been "out of stock" now???
    That's the one RDA that I would probably buy a couple of.
    But, ........... guess I'll just have to tootle along with these ;)
    (A7 top ...... A7 mini bottom)
    P1000859_zpsn3etrgw7.jpg

    P1000887_zpsjwsrvrwm.jpg


    Question:
    Why would you take the top off a microdrip to drip??

    The top is meant to come Off for dripping. The main cap becomes the "walls" of the atomizer allowing you to put up to almost 2ml in there. It's made for using that way. You can of course unscrew the whole cap but the top has much less threading and allows you to drip a lot more in there.

    If anyone is interested there's a deal
    Right now where you can get

    GP dripper
    GP 500 series paps v3 in stainless or Lux for $52

    If there's interest I'll post the deal
    Details. I'm contemplating it myself. It's an amazing deal on a great mech and dripper with bottom
    Feed pin.

    I just noticed that Liquid Nicotine Wholesaler stocks nic salts (someone asked about a supplier). I guess they are taking over for RTS. The best news for me is they appear to be local and I won't buy nic products that are shipped due to the heat & oxidizing in summer. Now maybe I can. [emoji38]

    Of course we are friends.
    For future reference, if I use the ;), it usually means I'm speaking tongue in cheek, or joking around, or maybe occasionally being a smart, erm, donkey. I guess it might also mean I got something in my eye. But it never ever means I was offended.:)
