Speaking about poor or defective products..... remember back in the day you could speak to a person if you had an issue with a product... now there are no phone numbers to call people just email.. they get back to you when it's convenient to them. Back and forth emails every couple of days that would only require a couple minutes of conversation. Drives me crazy.
:-x Over a week now emailing back and forth with one company....gotta start the process now with another company yay!

Good news is my HCigar VT40 dna came in today:). Works great.... never thought I would find a dna mod for the same price as my eleaf Pico it was only $27.

Id get that screen occasionally if the power goes out. Have to live through the scan but I still don't know why it comes up after a outage, not every time the power goes out either....IMO a waste of time scan. If you want to get rid of comp crap then run "Combo Fix" its a great program to remove nasties. It resets a lot of things back to default in the end but its very good at removing nasties. Runscanner is a good reg cleaner I've been using for years to remove old entries of files, programs and crap I've deleted.

Silly question(s):

Have you noticed the large amount of posts complaining about smok aliens lately?
Is it a reflection of how poor they are or are their sales numbers higher than any other device right now?

I don't like hearing that talk.... just bought a alien, tested it out to make sure it works and I put it back into the box and sit till something I'm using now dies. Went on a mod buying spree recently to have backups. Healthcabin has some mods for dirt cheap, Kanger topbox mini for 7 bucks, its white but still. Some Eleaf 100(no TC) and 200TC for under 10 bucks and other mods too....with discounts I couldn't loose on buying some backstock hitters.

If I didn't dislike talking to people, I would agree with you.

Well, FFFFFFFFFF!!!!! Just got off the phone with my Mom. Seems she's been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She's already a breast cancer survivor. And, we lost Dad to lung cancer 3 years ago... &×€=&=£#&$/@_#&#¥=*=&

I'm really sorry to hear that. Cancer sucks.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I hope they found it early and her prognosis is positive.

I am not a religious person, but I do hold her in my heart, thoughts, and send healing strength.

I guess I need to name something Fred then. Maybe my pillow? No, I think George is a better name for a pillow. Why, you may ask? Because I hug and squeeze and caress my pillow.

Hmmm, I also hug and squeeze and caress my girlfriend...do you suppose she'd mind being George?:unsure:

OK, I hereby christen my brass Coppervape Fred.


Atcha boy, kad! ;)

Gee, Shawn, either everyone understood or no one did because I have seen no comment since that post in reference to modern users. Back when I was an engineering manager, we spelled it differently than you did. It was simply ID 10 T ... :pervy:

Yes over all, I'm looking at the positive side of things!

Did you ever have any problems with your Siren tank fitting on any of your mods? Not sure if the 510 pin is too long or just messed up. It was kinda crunchy putting on a few mods. I didn't wanna torque it all the way down and crush the pin on the mod. It was rough threading the whole way.

Sorry, Sweets :oops:

Hopefully they caught it early and can treat it.... Sending hugs and prayers (sadly, I have a LOT of peeps on the "C-word" prayer chain these days....) :nun:

    Please tell me you staged that picture.

    I wish I did. the insane amount of stuff I have to deal with on a daily basis...i can't even begin to explain. like yesterday, working on an underground tank. about 15,000 gallons of 93 octane fuel in it. I have my truck blocking one side of it and cones around the other side. I'm pouring fuel back into the the tank, a lovely lady walks up smoking a cigarette and asks why the pumps aren't working. I tell her that I'm doing some routine maintenance and that they'll be back up shortly, and ask her to go back to her car with her cigarette. she tells me it's a free country and she can do what she wants....and then proceeds to throw the cigarette on the ground about 2 feet away from me and walks away.

    I've been driven over while in a hole, had the cops called on me because an EBT machine didn't work (not my fault, we don't work on these), had the cops called on me because people don't know how bank holds work. I've had people run over cones and barricades and try to get gas out of pumps that are sitting on a sidewalk.

    and that's just the beginning.

    And after this kind of interactions you stopped smoking? you're a better man than I !
