I watched about half of the first Dracula and ended up changing it, just not my cup of tea I guess. I don't do Netflix, I just don't watch movies, I can't see the reason for watching tv on the internet, I don't have a smart tv and the computer screen is too small. Honestly I guess I'm just not into sitting watching anything for very long, even with the shows I like I'm pausing and getting up and doing stuff all through it. I may watch one new movie that comes out in a year or I may not watch any of them, I just can't sit through many of them. I did enjoy Bonny and Clyde last week though.
I've always been a tv snob, lol, hate what most people love, but the last few years I rarely really watch any of it, I play around on the computer while the show is on and just half listen to the show. Sleepy Hollow is an exception, it holds my attention, but I think the historical stuff they portray in that one is what holds my attention more than the actual story line, and Ichabod Crane is not at all hard to look at for an hour.

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.

How long does the itaste battery last? I only use the vamo or any mod in 18350 mode. It's too easy to switch out batteries to carry something around in "weapon mode". I'm either not at a computer enough or my ports are full to charge via USB. And then there's the issue of dying. They haven't been out a year yet. Innokin is a brand with co-ops frequently and they go for < $20 which would be worth doing. There is also a new one out, epower or something, it's a spinner but you can set it to work in either vv or vw mode. They are the same price as spinners so I suspect that over the next year those will replace vv spinners. The only ones I've seen are black or stainless. Bleh. I'll pass.

I like TV shows in "movie mode" too. There's a lot of shows I've seen an episode or 2 of and haven't been impressed, but watching them back to back like a movie and it's wow! Farscape was that way. Have you seen "Confessions" with Donald Sutherland? I think that was a Hulu original. Great. Or Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog? Also web only at first. All of VooDoo Productions are web casts and free. There's several movie portals with LEGAL and free (non-hollywood) productions. I loved Mr. Diety episodes on YouTube. But there's some good channels there too.

Icabod Crane is not hard to look at all. The story line is getting better. I use my tv as a monitor and mirror it from the computer. Not hard to do. Usually just a cable, smart or not.

I love both Sutherland's father and son. They are far better actors than most. I have not seen Confessions , but I will now look for it. I love TV and movies, but on my schedule. That is why DVR's were such an important upgrade to the TV experience better than the VCR. I even like the internet better using HULU Plus, I can watch all of a season of 1 show, back after back in just a few days. I like that best. I did the entire 24 in a few weeks from season 1 - 9 I think it was, that's all we watched till it was done, that and some news and a few award shows if I recall.
I will have to start watching some more of the foreign TV shows, they are always well recommended.

Aik, since I rotate between 2 devices I'm not a good judge of how long the Itaste battery lasts, I have to recharge every 2 days. If it were used exclusively probably 1 or 2 times per day. I get laughed at carrying 2 when I go out for break, but it's my little security blanket, so sue me. Invariably my battery will die or the tank will run dry on one or the other at every break, so smart for me to have backup.

I charge my Itaste about once a day, however I also have the zmax mini, so I imagine I would have to charge 1 Itaste 3 times a day for full coverage, That would also mean replacement every 3-4 months by my calculations depending on my usage. I still recommend it, that is how nice a vape it provides. The larger SVD also provides a very nice vape. However it is very heavy and hard to hold.

My calculation was three hundred charges divided by 3=100 days

I do love the mini Zmax as well at home, it's a bit heavy to take out. Or I can hold the Itaste in my mouth if needed while cooking, it isn't easy but I can do it for a few seconds.

It sounds like the itaste lasts longer than I expected. An 800mah ego would be apx 1/2 day at best. I think everyone carries 2 "just in case". Someone pointed out on Alibaba some itastes in colors but they were even smaller like 450mah - why? That stanless steel zmax mini co-op I'm in had a couple of drops, just in case someone is interested. It's the only place to get the 18650 extension for them ($4) or the beauty ring for flush mount tanks ($2?) that I know of. But that's the poor man's provari. It's got the one piece solid steel 510 connection like provari's do. I just tested it. Had a cheapie nova break off and unscrewed it out with a qtip. Took a magnifying glass to it. Yup, all one piece. I had dropped it on ceramic tile. Ouch. Device survived w/o a dent or scratch.

talking about how long batteries last us? ill play.

i have 3 2600 mah 18650's that i use in my Evic until they get between 10-20%. depending on the day i may use 1-2 batteries. then i put in the pink original battery that came with the Evic and charge the others while using the pink one. once the pink battery is dead, the others are charged.

still need to make more watermelon flavors but trying to find some liquid sweetener to use for my diy locally so i can make some holiday flavors.

and my child is sitting in a cardboard box spinning going "Woooo, Weeeee, Woooo, Weee" im not sure what to make of him lol.

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!

24 remains my favorite show of all time. I've rewatched a few seasons and while I knew how it ended, there were plot points along the way I completely forgot about and was on edge of my seat with the suspense the show consistently drums up.

Netflix streaming has all 8 seasons of 24 available in case anyone cares.

I had an Evic, nice device but way to delicate, I dropped it once and it broke. I would never buy another. It wasn't my favorite, I think the SVD is far superior. I still use that battery in my Vamo or SVD, if I feel like holding a light saber. It makes the device to heavy to use the 18650 mod. I hope you have a back up device. The other larger mods are all too heavy. When you have RA in your hands, they feel like weights.
A 2600 mah for me has to be charged daily. I still sometimes need another devise ready to go if I am up a longer period of time. (often)

They say you can use liquid Stevia, health stores carry it in liquid form.

Some of the best toys are things we don't need to plug in, they take imagination and creativity to a new level. It's good for him to have those experiences.

The little itazte is my favorite device and if there was someway to replace the batteries when they would no longer hold a charge I would probably have nothing but them. I charge mine once a day, at night, usually, but like others I use several different devices through the day because it is more convenient to have a tank of some kind with different juices so I just pick up whatever flavor I want at that moment and vape away. If my dripping attys ever show up that may well change. :) I do like this Provari though, no rattling button, any press of the button works unlike the SID that I have to press a certain way with my thumb to get it to work. Now that may change when I replace the flat top batteries in the SID with button tops, some have said it will.

I charge my Itaste about once a day, however I also have the zmax mini, so I imagine I would have to charge 1 Itaste 3 times a day for full coverage, That would also mean replacement every 3-4 months by my calculations depending on my usage.

new show starting up on Fox in 2014 with Sutherland back in the lead role. I couldn't be happier! It is my second favorite behind NYPD Blue

I had a funny thing today, you will all relate. The cable guy came over, originally just to change the DVR out in my living room. It was faulty, anyway, he saw my e-cig and said he had a Vamo. He saw all my back-up and hoarded supplies, and the juice, I still a have all the rejects from everyone, I still vape them to save money. Well, my roommate called me to come to see him while the guy installed a box in my room so I could get cable. I didn't want to leave him in there for fear he would take my PV's or attys. In a wheelchair even though the house is small it takes forever to go from one room to the other, I got out of the wheelchair and walked in the other room just to try to make it faster. Of course, I almost fell on the way back but I made it. Have lots of things to grab onto to break a fall. Had to do that when it became clear that I was falling too often. He didn't take anything.
I lost 2 dripping attys I have after I picked them up off my desk, now I have to search for those. I hate my forgetful ways. I know he didn't take them, I remember clearly picking them up when I walked away. Crap, my mean ways foiled me again.

after double checking my batery its 3600 mah batteries. the pink is 2400.

and my evic has taken a beating, but i guess mine is the v2? i have screws in the control head. i have fallen out of my pocket (from about 4 feet off the ground) onto concrete and the only damage taken was my drip tip rolled away. only issue i have is if my son grabs it he shakes it which will boune the battery on the spring and shut off the unit. but thats an easy fix lol.

cool glad they made changes, I paid less than most on a pre-order around $69 when I bought it. but it still made me mad because that was a lot for me to spend for a broken paperweight

I just saw something amazing. Our local channel that broadcasts Judge Judy just aired a commercial of NASHVILLE VAPORS during tonights Judge Judy!!!

That is the first B&M vapor shop commercial I have ever seen. Has anyone else ever seen a vapor B&M run a commercial? It was short, sweet and fairly well done. Mentioned started kits and the advanced pvs and RBAs. They now have 3 locations. Amazing, a commercial on TV. I will have to watch to see how long it is aired and if it gets shut down. This is on a cable tv setup.

Netflix is doing a bunch of new shows. The ones I've seen have been excellent. I saw (somewhere) that right now they've got a trial going with a free month. That may be BF only, Idk. They've got the first season of Lilyhammer available now. Season 2 starts in Jan. only on Netflix. I haven't looked to see if Love/Hate is on Netflix. If anyone is into arty stuff, Naked Vegas has been fascinating (body painting). There's been some how to stuff thrown in.

I haven't seen a single episode of 24 and now you've got me curious. I also missed Dexter. It just got away from me and I couldn't keep up with it. There seemed to be a lot missing watching it out of sequence. I always like a heads up on good shows, even if I don't agree. Otherwise I have no way of knowing what's worth my time or not.

I used to watch Sopranos on and off, great show!


Speaking of Netflix, I enjoy Once Upon A Time. Also Breaking Bad. Weeds was also very entertaining. I've been thinking about checking out The Sopranos because I've never seen it. I don't have cable.

Oh and Sons of Anarchy.
