Good morning y'all! Since the internet died I couldn't watch all the lovely videos you guys posted, my job blocks access to any media sites. Boo!

Maybe when I get my new router/wireless thingamajiggy I can come back to these pages. . .

Hope you all have a great day! It's been busy as all get out this morning, hoping it slows down some for the afternoon.

No internet still? I think that's reason to rent a motel room.
I hope you get credit. Cox starts crediting every 8 hrs without service.

Can you post a link so I can check them out? Much appreciated. How long do your batteries usually last and what ones do you use? This sounds like an interesting concept. My ex MIL uses Apollo stuff, wonder if this would work for her.

It is V2 hardware.

Their prices have changed, gone up since I first started. I usually wait until they do deals, plus use coupon codes to stack discount prices. And now I have VIP discount (kicks in after 15 orders), though wasn't able to use that when I bought my hardware. Next sale is likely around Valentine's day and if you are up for recommending them to someone, I'd suggest they go with "Couple's Kit" to get 4 batteries, which with right discounts and sale, ought to come to about $80 with free shipping.

Lifetime warranty means you can replace any non-working battery up to 5 times as long as you place an order with them within 90 days of needing a replacement. V2 regulars, like myself, usually place one every 90 days (for say juice or pre-fills) just to be on safe side, but pretty sure that isn't necessary. IMO, they are an expensive vendor, but considering their replacement policy and fact that they are likely to be around after FDA stuff settles, I think they are good. I've done replacements about 6 times in the 2 years and never get hassled when I request it. They mail out new batt(s), with return envelope and you then send back replacements. Easy schmeasy.

Feel free to PM me if you need further assistance going with V2.

That is the one I was going to post. You beat me to it. I fell asleep at 10:30pm and slept the night through. I have done that two nights in a row. Maybe my Vampire reign is coming to an end. Daylight looks strange, but welcome.

ok theme change to great oldies rock songs, I can do that for all of you! Besides I already found great money songs

I am with you there, Top. I have become very nose sensitive. I went to Kohls the other week and was back by the linens area. There was an area with I think candles and stuff. I could smell it 4 or 5 aisles away and it was overpowering to me. I have been sensitive to the air fresheners and the smells in stuff like Downey for years. But now it looks like the perfumes and candle type stuff is getting to me too. I recently discovered that DH Right Guard Sport has an overpowering smell. Looks like I may be in trouble with this nose. How strange.

I can't go into anywhere that has lots of smelly sampkes. Like bath and body works or perfume stores. My nose is hypersensitive and I get major headaches. Cant even want in the wing of the mall with them or Abercrombie or American Eagle due to people spraying WAY too much of the testers.

About 10 years ago I developed a cologne/perfume allergy, I don't need to go near anyplace like that, half the people in the stores give me a roaring headache. Come on people perfume does not come in single serving bottles, use it sparingly please. I never could stand to be near anyone wearing anything with musk in it though, headache, nausea, and getting as far away from them as I can as quickly as I can.

Sorry I didn't get into the fun you guys were having last night, like I said that just isn't anything I do, don't share stuff on FB either, I just don't have time between art stuff and vaping forums, oh year and real life. lol.... Truth is the only time I ever listen to music is in the car, I do love music, but I find it distracting when I'm trying to concentrate. I know I'm the weird one. lol I actually hate FB with a passion, but since it is the only way I ever have any contact with my family I'm stuck there. Game requests on FB get an immediate blocking from me. Don't do twitter either, haven't a clue how to use it and don't want to find out, I find it annoying.

Wow I'm really a crabby old woman aren't I. :)

Speaking of music is anyone watching The Voice, all I can say is WOW WOW WOW so much talent this season.

I used to watch them all. Then I got aggravated with American Idol and The Voice and X Factor never did a lot for me. I just stopped watching. The only think I do watch is the Think You Can Dance. I love to watch the dancing. I did watch the remake of Sound of Music with Carrie Underwood. She is not Julie Andrews but she did a beautiful job singing. Not much of an actress but I did not expect her to be. What surprised me is that the lead vampire character in True Blood played Cpt. Von Trapp. Did not know he could sing. I enjoyed it.

I will catch the final Voice on my DVR on demand. Good to hear they are good singers.

The only ones we ever watch are The Voice and America's Got Talent, and I'm pretty sick of AGT, no interest in dancing so never watched them or AI.
The contestants on The Voice this year are better than their coaches. Tonight is the finale, with performances last night, I think the 16 year old is going to win, but any of the 3 finalists are worthy. The 16 year old has a set of pipes on her that are simply amazing, but I'm very very thankful I didn't have to raise her, lol, I can imagine that she was a very loud child. lol

Only watched a few minutes of SOM, just not my thing and I don't watch any of the vampire shows at all, only thing in that vein I watch is Sleepy Hollow and I love it. I watch mostly network stuff like crime dramas, none of the sitcoms and very little of the cable stuff, Cliff watches a lot more than I do, he will watch the same thing over and over and over, for me it's one and done and I rarely watch movies, he'll watch the ones he likes until he knows every line, once is enough for me with a few rare exceptions. I will watch Avatar over and over but just to look at the beautiful artwork in it, by over an over means maybe once a year. lol

Yes, I can post a link, but am not sure of forum rules, and would prefer PIF moderator to say it is okay before I assume it is okay to post. In PM, I would provide link.

How long do your batteries usually last and what ones do you use? This sounds like an interesting concept. My ex MIL uses Apollo stuff, wonder if this would work for her.

Pretty sure Apollo stuff wouldn't work as that uses (the popular) eGo threading whereas V2 goes with 808. I'm not real technical minded on this threading stuff and sometimes have to ask other V2 people I know if certain things can go together. V2 does make adapters so their batts can work with carts from other vendors. I've used the adapters and they work fine.

I use all manual and long batts from V2. My first order included automatic, but I no longer use those and gave them away. A long batt, that is fully working will last about 4 to 7 hours per charge (assuming chain vaping). A battery lasts me a good 4+ months before I even think of replacing and I generally do nothing toward maintenance. I'm sure I've had a battery or two last me a year before it was replaced. Again, I've had 10 batts from them in 2 years and done replacement about 6 times. If a charged battery starts lasting less than 4 hours, I'm beginning to think it needs to be replaced. Might take me another 3 months before I contact V2 to request that replacement. I can be lazy like that.

Went to lunch, came back, met and smoked a cigarette with my sister. She's a bad influence. Wait, I'm older, I'm a bad influence. Anyway. . .confession is good for the soul. Now I won't have another until Christmas when I see her again. Dammit!

It sounds like she needs a beginners vape kit for Christmas (whether she likes it or not).

Dracula is good and so is the Originals, but I'm with you in that it almost doesn't make a difference because I'm so maxed out on vampires to begin with. Add that to any cops/lawyers/laugh tracks/reality shows and there isn't a lot left anymore. I am sucked into Game of Thrones big time. Orange is the New Black should be showing up with the next season from Nextflix and I'm loving Lillyhammer. I've gotten into foriegn tv shows. A lot of BBC stuff; I can't deciede if I like Yonderland yet or not. But it's different. I liked Borgen, Maria Weiner, The Alice, the Australian version of Willard is much better than US version (the dog is evil- lol, just like dogs can get possesive of their owners in real life). Reign is also decent. At first the music bothered me because it's set in the 1500's, so modern music seemed jarring. But I got passed that. Oh, one of my favorites has been Love/Hate. Don't miss that if you get a chance to see it. It's Irish tv. In a strange twist, I liked the US version of Shameless better than the UK version. I wish I could find more Canadian tv. I've caught a few that were very good, just hard to locate. Once in awhile I'll watch the Fifth Estate.

I think this is why ppl don't want tv on the internet. So many shows are used to getting an audience because that's all that's on. I think Springsteen has a song "120 channels with nothing on". Isn't that the truth IMO.

hello! I started with V2, nice batts, I also liked the batts from Smokeless image, They are very reliable and a lot cheaper. They are also 808 threaded.They are shorter than the V2 and just as powerful. From today until Friday, they are having a great sale 27% OFF coupon code: LASTCHANCE. These batts were all pif'd and still working for those I gave them to.

I have to say that if someone is starting out right now, I would recommend the Itast vv v3, I think it grows with the user. They have to make the initial purchase, and they don't need to upgrade immediately to get more vapor or more of the feeling of a cigarette. It has everything the MVP2 has in a smaller form, yes, you need more than one to get through the day if you were a heavy smoker. But, I needed 5 stick batts to get through the day, when I started. The other option is the spinner (Shari's favorite) my only problem with them is the inability to see on a screen how much battery life you have left. The other nice thing on the Innokin product they have the ohm reader, this would come in handy for someone that wants a rebuildable atty.

I saw that 101vapes.com has the Itasts VV V3 for only $25.99 plus shipping. I hope they are still that price when I can afford to get it. Otherwise another U.S. vendor has them for $29.99 ITCVAPES.com so if your favorite color is out of stock on one try the other. Everyone else has them in the $39 + range.If you can find it cheaper let me know. I want to replace the one I lost.

Some shows are worth watching over and over, it depends on the actors and content of the show 5 favorite TV shows come to mind H
NYPD Blue, Law and Order, and 24 I could rerun these for many years and not be bored, they are all that good.

I have a few shows I watch , but I prefer not to be bound to TV on a weekly basis so I prefer to watch an entire season on Hulu. Just a preference, I don't care to wait to find out what's happening next week. I want to know now!

I'm thrilled you like the Vamo, no you are not weird in any way. I love the Vamo, it's just too heavy in 18650 mode, and in 18350 its ok but I like it a little thinner in my hand. I have big hands but, the Zmax mini is more comfortable to me than the Vamo. The Vamo is the easiest of all to adjust, but it doesn't lock in place so, you can change the adjustments too easily by accident, I found that to be annoying.
