It's so hard (I mean difficult) to speak vape without it sounding dirty, no? :D

Mine is the XL3 mod that has regulated VV between 3.0v and 4.2v, and it depends on the battery strength as to which modes are available. To be completely honest, I've yet to load a fresh battery that can get the 4.2v mode, but then I wasn't really looking to use that mode anyway. I tend to use it to switch between 3.2v and 3.7v depending on the clearo/carto/atty I have attached and the juice.

If you're looking at the Black Ash Burl e-power mod, that one is sharp! Also remember that if you don't like anything that is currently listed on the site, you can do a custom order. Just look through the sold mods to get an idea of the type of wood you want and it will give you an idea of how the finished product will look. My tank was a custom order and if the upgraded heads for the ViVi Nova work out, I'll probably be working with Lewis to get one last custom tank made for that setup.

Yeah, that black ash burl is a fine looking piece of equipment! This is definitely going on my birthday wish list, lol.

I got a scare this AM. Got back from church and my house was hot! Went to check on the thermostat and it was dead! Damn! I was thinking about how hard it was going to be to find a h/a man on Sunday (I'm not about to go buy a thermostat and try to install it. I'm the most mechanically inept person I know, lol). Then I remembered the last time this happened; the h/a guy came out, opened the cover, took out the AA batteries and replaced them! Then he laughed at me (well, more like snickered) then handed me a bill for $75! So I went to my battery drawer and found a couple of AAs. Did the same thing and bingo! I have air again!!! Praise Allah, Mary and all the angels on high!!!

Well at least you weren't too proud to learn....do you stop for directions too?!?!?! :lol:

Wow! We've been moved to the Lounge. Does this make us Lounge lizards? Or maybe we can be the modern equivalent of the Rat Pack? :D Anyway, I just thought I'd update you on my experiences with MOV. So far, I love their Sweetwater Valley collection which is their name for their fruits (I'm vaping Apple Valley atm), and generally hate their Tennessee Valley Originals (think tobacco), except for their Applewood tobacco (more fruits, lol). I'm getting my things ready for my trip (I plan on leaving first thing tomorrow). Refilling cartos, charging batteries, etc. Oh and the other stuff too, like clothes, lol.
Anyway, welcome to the Lounge and y'all have a great day!

Guys will NEVER ask for directions! I think most men are loving whoever invented the GPS, but would never admit that either!
Reidus, I hope you have a great trip,,, also hoping you don't run out of supplies :ohmy: I tend to take almost everything I own, even if it's only for a weekend. You just never know when something apocalyptic will happen,, like ketchup stains on your white pants or a burnt out carto... eeeegads!

Glen, did you buy a car?? I think I'd rather get poked with a fork.

I spent yesterday with two of the grandchildren. Most of you don't know their story,, the short version is they are the children of my husband's daughter,, she is a drug addict/thief/general all around loser who has lost custody of them and they now live with the ex wife. We try to take them when we can to give the other gramma a break. One is four, the other is 6 months. Having lived with drug addicts, the four year old is difficult,, to put it mildly. And the baby was born addicted to crack, and while she's beautiful and seems to be doing really well,,, she has her moments too. It's the longest 6 hours of my week... but I try to remember that other gramma has them 24/7... so I will just have to deal with the 6 hours. There's been great improvement in the four year old but he has a violent streak that scares the hell out of me.. have you ever seen a child run screaming from a birthday cake?? Literally, ran screaming... throw it in the garbage!!!! I've never...

Oh well... anyway,, I received my Deej order today.. oh my,, these are gonna give ECB a run for their money! All the bottles say best if left to steep for 5 days... are you kidding??? That's not gonna happen!! I can tell you,, the pomegranate champagne is DEEEELISH! The Oba Oba,,, is good, but they might be right about that one. I'll let it sit. One classy mix will have to sit around too... but really, these things smell wonderful!!

No word from Cheeky about the meet.. they must have worn her out!!

Must head to work.. walking today, it's almost 90 degrees out there .. unheard of!! Never have I had to have the air on in May!

Drive safe, Reidus... and have a terrific day everyone!

Wow! Having to turn on the AC in May! Mine went on for the first time this year back in March, I think, lol.

I finally found one of the MOV Sweetwater Valley juices I don't love: Happy Farmer. Yes it does taste like a Jolly Rancher, and it's not bad, just not as good as the others in the family. I think they need to bump up the watermelon flavor a bit. Either that or I need to try it on my 2.0s rather than a 1.7.
Anyway, I'm pretty much all packed. I've got my cartos filled with the juices I like, got my empty cartos packed, my juices that I'm taking with me in the Halo tin (the best thing about the sampler, IMHO) my batteries charged, my chargers packed. Goodness! Life was so much simpler when I just had to worry about a carton and some lighters, lol.

Now, you KNOW that GPS was invented by a man so we wouldn't have to ask for directions ever again. You know that, right?!?!? :p

I did make a final deal on a car and paid the initial "go and get it" deposit, and now I'm just waiting on the phone call to come look at the car and do the final paper work. I decided on a Prius (3rd generation, the mid sized one), with red exterior and tan leather interior. Did I get the best possible deal? Probably not, but these cars are very popular right now because of the gas prices and dealers are only willing to cut so much off of the price. But, I'm pretty happy with the deal I got and I'll be getting 0% financing so that helps too.

In other news, I blew out the carto that came with the LG tank yesterday. I was trying to get it to feed the juice better and I stuck a dental pick in the hole in the side to try to clear it out. It gave some resistance, and then "popped" through something inside and after that it flooded and wouldn't produce any vapor. Lesson learned. :D

I have more cartos coming from DV this week of the same type which is the 1.5ohm dual coil smoktech and we'll see how those work out. Anyone know where I can get some pre punched single coil Boge cartos that would fit a 3.5ml tank?

I forgot to tell you guys... I won a contest!! I'll be getting an Evolution tank this week. Have you seen them? I had no idea.. You know, sometimes I enter these contest without really knowing what it's for but I've won several juices that way. Anyway, they're pretty nice looming tanks so I'll let y'all know how she looks when I get it. And more importantly, how it performs.

Luv - Congrats on the contest!!! The Evolution tank looks similar to the Bella or Lavatank based on the photos I've seen on Facebook - can't wait to find out what you think of it!

You're right, the meet wore me out & then some. Still recuperating, but spent part of the afternoon in the pool with a girl friend today - a little sunburned, but it was nice to be weightless & able to move around with a little more ease for a while - I could even sit on the stairs without too much pain :)

Deejstuff is phenomenal - I'm happy with a combo of deej & ECB, so much so that my juice hunt seems to be pretty much over!

I'm so sorry the grandson ran screaming from his birthday cake... has he been to see a child psychologist yet? It might help to understand & help him through everything he's had to deal with in his young life.

Glen - Congrats on the new car! When do you get to go pick her up???

Reidus - have a great trip to visit your family. If you run out of vaping stuff, there is a vape store in the Atlanta area - I can't remember which it is, but they shouldn't be too hard to find through a google search.

The meet on Saturday night was fun - I won an nhaler kr808d PCC kit in the raffle New Smart PCC Kit . It's pretty sweet, nicely designed, and convenient - there's even a battery remaining indicator. I did stay longer than I should have, but i was having a nice time & didn't want to go home early :)

I'll try to catch up more later - hope everyone is having fun playing with their woodies & other vape gear :)
happy vaping!

Congrats on winning the contest! I haven't seen any information on those tanks, so if you could post a link with some information about it, I'd love to check it out.

I got a call from the dealership this afternoon and they should have both of my color choices on the lot tomorrow, so it looks like I'll be heading over there after work. I'd like to say I'm excited about the new car, but spending this much money all at once always give me a bit of anxiety. Once all the paperwork is done, I'll be a happy camper. :D

Edit: And it does have a USB power port for my pass through. Gotta have priorities!

Hurray for dual USB ports and new cars! I have a dual USB car charger, now all I need is a pass through to use with it in case of emergencies ;)

Place another order with ECB this evening (surprise surprise), around 830p, and when I went back to the site a few minutes ago, noticed that it was already awaiting shipment!!! In under an hour they managed to fill a rather large order of primarily custom juices & get it ready to ship. They continue to impress me :wub:

Tomorrow should be a great vapemail day - My provari is schedule to arrive, along with the stainless steel ming drip tips I bought in a co-op. Mailman stalking to commence in 12 hours!

I think my skin is still cooking from the sunburn - any suggestions for how stop the burning? I know vinegar works if you do it quickly enough, but I think I've missed that window, and I don't particularly want to smell like a salad right now :)

PS - when did we get moved to the lounge?! :)

USB power ports are important for so many things, but vaping is absolutely the priority! :D

If you're in the market for a passthrough, MyFreedomSmokes has the Joyetech 1000mAh PS for about $22, which is the best price I've found from the U.S. vendors. I like the eGo-C batteries because they let you know when the battery is at different levels of charge by changing the color of the button LED. The downside is that they're only 3.3v (regulated), which means you'll need to use LR clearos/cartos/atties to get a decent vape, and they probably won't handle dual coil cartos very well. They work great with the LR CE4+ clearos, so that's pretty much all I need.

Your vape-mail week sounds awesome, and I can't wait to hear your review on the Provari. Just a couple more weeks before I have to lurk on the ProVape site to try to get in on the blue LED option. Hopefully they won't have any web server issues that day, or I'll be freaking out. My latest DV order should be here in a couple of days which will bring a CE5+ clearo, an E1 Revive clearo, a 510 atty, some DC cartos for my wood tank, a couple of drip tips, and a shorty eGo cone.

For sunburn, check these out and see if anything works for you:

Thanks for the links Glen! I decided to suck up smelling like a salad & sprayed myself down with apple cider vinegar. It has always worked well for me in the past, so I'm not sure why I was so hesitant top use it today! Once again I'm amazed by how effective it is. One application and my skin is already feeling cooler and more supple. Should have done this hours ago! :) will reapply once more tonight, and throughout the day tomorrow, and should be back to normal by Wednesday. Note to self: do not try new sunblock during peak sun midday pool sessions, especially this early in the season when there is no base tan to protect my Irish skin! Duh :)

will take a look at the pass throughs you recommended, and if you need help the day the blue led goes on sale, let me know & I'll help stalk the site, etc for you.

This is the Evolution Tank I won in the contest over the weekend. They look pretty interesting!

Haven't placed my ECB order yet.. I think I'm finally settling down on flavors.. pretty sure that between deej and ECB I could be a happy vaper for a long time. Of course somebody will have a big fat coupon code and I'll stray yet again, but I think these two will be my go-to for my everyday stuff. Thanks to Cheeky for pointing me in the right direction! Deej's Apocalyptic Lemonberry Explosion is fantastic! Definitely tank worthy.

Should get my CCV order today,, good thing since I used my last fresh cartos yesterday with the deej stuff. I've also got a small order coming from TVR but their stuff doesn't get to me as fast... not really expecting that til later this week.

Won't be doing much today,, it's pouring rain out there.. good for the flowers.

I'm thinking about going to a new chiropractor in town.. young guy, very forward thinking and everyone who goes to him just raves about him. The last time I went through physical therapy, they had to push my hip back into place and cracked my back a few times.. I think my insurance will cover it but even if it doesn't.. I think it might help. Ever been to one? The noises your body makes when they snap you back into place are really freaky.. I used to go to a different guy years ago and it really helped with my shoulder and neck pain. I tend to scrunch my shoulder up into my ear when I use the microscope at work.. so I'll give him a call this morining. I figure it can't hurt since there isn't a medical doctor out there that can figure out what's going on with me.

I hope everyone has a great day.. Cheeky, I hope your sunburn is better.. I have the same problem with the sun,, never tan, always burn. I'll have to remember that vinegar trick.
Vape happy, friends!

I'm glad you're so happy with ECB and deej Luv! They're my go-to vendors & I don't have a big desire to stray, but a big coupon might tempt me, too :D

Hope the new chiropractor can make you feel amazing! I used to see one fairly regularly (years ago), but they won't touch me now (my physical therapist is also a chiropractor) - wouldn't it be wonderful if the Chiropractor could fix you up?! :)

Vinegar does work wonders on burns, and the faster you get it on, the better it works. It even helps make the burn turn into a tan rather than a peeling mess. The only downside is that you smell like a salad for a while (white vinegar dissipates faster than ACV). Amazing how many things vinegar is good for! :)

Good news/bad news for me.. good news, got an appointment with the chiropractor tomorrow. Bad news, it's at 8am which means I have to drag my sorry self out of bed at 7. Might be normal for most people, not so for me since I work til 11pm.. oh well. With any luck, it'll be totally worth it!

Got my cartos today,, so feeling more at ease, that I won't run out of anything!!
