    Somewhere between here and there
    That sounds like quite the ordeal. I’m sure he’s very thankful for your help.

    My wife and daughter are in NY for a school trip. They left Friday morning and will return tomorrow night. I’m trying to take advantage of the time alone and getting some organizing done with my vape stuff. DIY has turned into a full on hobby and I’ve got four cases of flavors not to mention all the mods and tanks.

    Good job Waho! That was a lot of work though. I did a lot of moving for people in my day but the funny thing is I never asked for any help myself. Don't think I'd be capable to do it again, good thing I've get the handicapped ramp on my deck so I can get up on the deck when I no longer can make it on my own. Then it's like a rancher except for the two step drop into the LR.

    Hitt, I've got more liquid than I'll ever use in a lifetime. Equipment, that's another thing. I've got a number of relics now that I'll never use and a couple others. One of which I brought home Thursday and it's hiding somewhere in this house. It just walked away. lol

    Waho, sounds like it was quite the trip. Especially since we had 25 to 30 mph winds all weekend. I had a early soccer game yesterday and was getting blown all over 131. Hopefully you didn't lose any of that Ikea stuff you had in the back of the truck. ;) Rentwood, which we called Kentwood when we lived there due to all the apartment complexes. My old stomping grounds when we first moved over here. Nice area with plenty going on just far enough away from downtown that you don't have to deal with as much traffic but it's catching up fast. Since they put in M6 Kentwood has exploded with development. Can be quite the madhouse on the weekends and I'm glad we moved north before that all happened. Now I barely make into town unless it's a special occasion and we usually get a hotel room for the night because you know, Founders, Grand Rapids Brewing, Hopcat, ect...:toast:

    Hitt, did you ever get your hands on one of the Smok Nord Pods? I ordered two of them from FastTech, unfortunately one is lost sometime after Customs and I'm waiting on FT to trackit down. Anyway, I find it to be a really convenient cigarette lighter sized mod. I wanted to get something that was convenient when two wheeling and the Nord definitely fits that niche, as long as you remember to turn it off before you stuff it in your pocket. I read where the button fires easily in enclosed places,

    I used the live in's Nord yesterday at poker because a gal is on the verge of becoming a convert and I figured she'd like it. Her bf went and got her the smaller version, the Novo, which wasn't a bad choice. However, had she waited and got the Nord, I could have easily hooked her up with different flavors by bring in filled pods for her to try saving the liquid chasing costs.

    I got home and one I ordered from eBay was in the mailbox so no waiting on FT. The more I use it, the more I like it. I just have to train myself to turn it off when not in use. It's real easy to fire unintentionally. I just think back to '09. Ten years of innovation that the FDA keeps trying to change to unnovation, sadly.

    I had put the 1.4 ohm coil in my Nord, not thinking, and it just wasn't as good. Then I realized I might have put the wrong one in. Yup, .6 at 10-15W is just fine for me. Coming up on 10 years using these things, I'm just amazed at the development. This thing is just a bit larger than a full sized BIC lighter and slightly heavier.

    Waho, I'll be interested to see how you like it. I had some tobacco free, just a couple cans and can't remember what kind, but I just didn't work for me. Wait, maybe there's still a can around here. No, I thought the can of Chaini Knaini Mango snus was the tobacco free stuff. I must have thrown out the second can. Yours sounds interesting.

    Anyway this Chaini Knaini was opened years ago and I really didn't like it but considering it had an expiration date of about 7 1/2 years ago, I figured I'd give it a second go. I still don't like it but, as much as I can remember, the white portions are about as good now as then, if that really matters. Still usable after all these years but it will probably go back in the freezer for another seven. I got them in one of those grab bags they used to offer where the priced was real low for a bunch of stuff that was probably close to expiring. That's where I got the Lucky Strike snus that I noticed I still have an unopened can in the freezer.

    Got the 65 foot of tree cut into rounds and now hauled up around my woodshed ready to be split. Don't know how many more 30+ inch trees I'll deal with in the future, other than the one I agreed to help my neighbor cut up and turned into rounds and then firewood. That one might be close to as big as this one was. It took me three days to cut it up, load it up and unload off my drive. I wasn't sure my old garden tractor trailer was going top handle it. I could only move 4 to 5 pieces at a time.

    He had a bunch of smaller trees dropped that had died off that will be much easier to deal with. When your chainsaw will only cut through half the trunk it gets to be a lot of work.

    The Lyft Blueberry was surprising. The flavor was dead on blueberries with a little salt. Not super sweet, but kind of tart/acidic like a real blueberry and fairly strong.

    The big surprise was the nic hit. For a regular strength snus it hit like a train. Made me a little nauseous even. But both the flavor and the nic hit faded pretty quick, less than an hour later I was tossing the portion. It seemed rather drippy compared to a usual white portion, which would explain the strong flavor at first.

    I would have used a few more at work to see if that was the deal or if that one portion was a fluke but I ended up training and didn't want to deal with potential nausea.

    It's interesting how the flavor is very "clean" which I'm sure is due to the different filler medium being more or less flavorless.

    The Lyft comes in strong portions as well, which honestly frightens me if the nic hits hard and fast like the regular strength.

    Pretty darn quiet in here lately. Everyone must be taking advantage of the nice weather and getting outside. I spent most of Saturday cleaning out my garage and putting the winter stuff away. Felt good to actually be somewhat productive after another long winter here in Michigan. Next up is starting on the yard and getting that back in shape. Anyone need some high quality canine fertilizer? The dog was very active this winter. :blink:
