Tootle Puffers, Redux (The Sequel)

[AndriaD]

Yup, I got them on the $1.50 sale. Had to go elsewhere for the matching battery, and the atomizers. To simplify things I'm going to see how well she does with the standard attys (everything there is 1.8Ω) before mucking things up with rebuilds.

That's a good resistance, with a low tootle setting; when I first started building coils for kayfuns, I stayed around 1.8Ω, 9-10 watts, and it was a great vape for me. No idea what that translate to, for a vv setting on the Evod. My first variable was a vv3, so I never got used to variable voltage, just wattage.

Doh.

It's for the children, must protect them....

Only half joking on that. But if the conditions persist through the weekend, all those with kids will have them home from school, so PBJ and milk for 'em, maybe hot cocoa when they come in from playing in the snow.

Man, another reason I'm glad I'm in Central Texas.

 

[Atchafalaya]

that was them when they were tiny and they used to sleep with each other all the time .

Oh how precious! Thanks for sharing. My sister's 19 year old cat died Monday, and my friend's 21 year old cat died Thursday night, like Shadow. Bad week for losing our fuzzy loved ones.

Should be around 4-4.2V

Nobody really knows, I don't think; it's just this weird mentality that southerners get, when the weatherman says a single word about any frozen precip, all the crazy southerners head to the store to buy bread and milk... and bottled water, if they're on a well, because most wells have electric pumps. If you live way out in the boonies enough to have a well, and the power goes off... well, you may not have power again for 7-14 days.

I remember in the eighties getting "iced in" out in the boondocks for 2 days. Me and my sister were fighting over cigarette butts. Forget food, we ran out of smokes!

Me and my bro used to walk to the gas station 1/2mile down the road for smokes when it snowed! Sucks living on a road with a steep hill! lol

 

[Atchafalaya]

Well... while I don't mind the non-poisonous types, they're quite welcome.... my cat has killed 2 copperheads, so I'm good with letting her be a cat and do her thing.

LJF -- here, we have Great Horned Owls, and those suckers are HUGE! So we always get our kitty in well before dusk now.

We have stupid coyotes everywhere. They have gotten out of control. I never let my little pug princess out without Mr. Freeman (black lab) with her. I saw one of those coyotes on the side of the road dragging off a dead deer and ripping it to shreds. One of them had the nads to come up my driveway.

lol. I'm sure it does! We were 5 miles from town so there was no walking. Only fighting, over those butts. lol

 

[Belhade]

for 1.50 you can afford to throw the 1.8 in a jar for future rebuilding if you don't like it.

Not sure what you mean about throwing it into a jar?

 

[Atchafalaya]

Yesterday I bought a big box of dry milk and other ingredients for my bread machine. LOL!

LOVE fresh bread. I'll be over in a little bit. lol

 

[Atchafalaya]

Yep heating with wood heats you up several times. Back permitting of course.

I have a fake fireplace. LOVE it.

My current EVOD is at 1.5Ω and I'm using it on a standard (non-variable) eGo battery. Hell I took the base and atty out of my old tank, dumped the juice from the old tank into the new red one then put the old base (with the bored out air holes) back on.

Jar, box, anything. Point is, don't toss it out when it's no longer vaping well. Rebuilding is easy

Some years ago I had an orange manx, by the name of "Yams" (he looked like a yam...no tail...orange). I lived in a ground floor apartment downtown; we rarely saw a snowflake. One winter though, we had quite the snowstorm; about 1 foot of the white stuff.

Each morning, after his breakfast, I'd open the window to let Yams out. He'd jump off the sill and head out to do his business. This particular morning, post-snowstorm, I opened the window and out Yams went. Unaware of the snow, he jumped out and completely disappeared with a muffled "puh" into the snow. No sooner had he disappeared into the white fluffiness, he righted himself and flew back into the apartment with eyes as big as snowglobes.

...."WHAT THE???!!!"

He was having none of it. The litter box saw increased action until the snow thawed.

Hope you are all safe and warm over the next few days. We are fixed on CNN, watching all the wintery weather and heaving a sigh that the West Coast of Canada only has to deal with rain.

Take good care all.

That's way funny.
We lived in Virginia for a very short period of time when I was a kid. When it snowed, we ran out into it and played and played. It was later that I realized my toes were frozen. Talk about pain when they thawed out. To this day, they still go numb.

 

[juskiddin]

Yeah, I couldn't deal with that; I think the preference in sleeping temperature is just another reason my husband and I need separate bedrooms, besides his leaping about in his sleep and snoring like a freight train. I've always read and heard that the temp should be cooler while sleeping, because too much heat when you're asleep dries out the mucus membranes, which is the chief cause of colds and flu, it gives the virus microscopic cracks in which to enter. I always turn the thermostat to 70 degrees when I go to bed, though if the weather is really really cold, then I turn it to 69 -- the more it has to run, the more it will dry you out. Actually I've often wondered if my husband has any blood, he goes around freezing all the time, and I am *just* starting to come out of "the hotflash years"; which is great, considering I've been having hot flashes for nearly 20 yrs now! (I got started young!) My mom didn't stop having them till she was nearly 70, and I'm not quite 55! Yay!

But, since I got the humidifier and a new space heater for my bedroom that has a beautifully-functional thermostat, I can have it just a bit warmer in my room when I'm sleeping but not get all dried out, which is really nice.

Darned menopause. Although, hot flashes in winter *can* keep one warmer.

The post-menopausal can prove functional if one lets 'em grow. Keeps the chin warm. No need for turtlenecks.

The post-menopausal CHIN HAIRS I meant to say.

I miss my brain.

Do not throw them away you may want to rebuild them.

LMAO! I went through "the change" when I was 40. So glad that's over now. But, the chin hair still grow. I pluck everyday. I know. TMI. lol

 

[Atchafalaya]

I miss my brain.

It'll come back. lol.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

I miss my brain.

Brains are overrated.
Just look at successful politicians for instance.
