You do realize that you are only 7 posts from your 20,000th post. Don't you Lox?

Actually hadn't noticed :blink:
Wow time flies. Pif and ECF have really changed and grown over the years. Jazz is coming up on 4 years ECF anniversary tomorrow.
Never ceases to amaze me how lucky I was to find ECF :)
I've made so many great friends here like Prism and BiancaMontgomery who've been like sisters to me and helped me in so many ways.
Most importantly I met and married the love of my life. :wub:
I can't imagine my life without her.

That is pretty much what it is out here also. All Walmarts, strip malls and chain restaurants. And the chain restaurants' quality changes from mediocre to very bad the further away from Nashville you get. The Olive Garden or Logan's Steakhouse 15 miles outside Nashville is standard food and service. The ones another 20 miles further south are like you are being served McDonald's food by their employees. Quality of both food and service suffers greatly. There are only 2 mom and pop restaurants that are not serving reheated frozen food within 20 miles of my town of 30k people. And you can really tell. Out here people seem to go for overseasoned and cheap food. There are all the pizza chains at each end of town.

I think this has a lot to do with today's culture and people were brought up on this stuff and do not care or care to pay for a sit down meal, homemade, anymore.

I was horrified the first time I saw a supermarket deli here scoop reesers out of a carton into a bowl behind a "deli" counter. Before that every deli I'd seen was like a takeout resturant even in the grocery. That was up in phoenix and there it was hard to find a mom and pop resturant for lunch. I think I know of 2 out of several thousand. They even closed down a major section of town with a lot of small funky stores, promised upgrades, then reopened with all chain stores. Did that near the university. Turned it into a ghost town. Who wants to drive to a Crate and Barrel when it's easier and cheaper to shop online? Stupid. Idk, not having a choice of anything but BIG chains has really put me off from ever shopping there. One side of town has a Walmart every mile. Imbetween it's empty strip malls. I kid you not. It's out of a Sci Fi movie. Very eerie. There's a haze everywhere.

I love going to cracker barrel when traveling for the home cooked meal. Chicken and dumplings (the size of the sugar packets! That's the company guide on size). Cheesy hash brown casserole, side of grits. And about a dozen glasses of sweet tea. Mmmmm.

We have a few family restaurant near me. One is a pizza place, that I had twice. Don't eat much pizza. And a (I want to say Italian but its like sicilian or Greek) family who have great pastas and soups and have recipe contest where you submit your family dish and they judge them and add the winner to menu. They liked my alfredo sauce lol. Won a free meal.

It has to do with back door deals with city councils and planning boards. It's an old boy's network. The chains get super discounts, tax breaks, new road improvements, traffic routing that mom and pops can't get. The 3 huge new malls near me were all sold out 5 years before the first one even broke ground. A friend was opening a store and discovered that. Cheapest square footage around too. Several hundred stores between them and not a single mom and pop. And miles and miles of huge empty car dealers that got 'incentives' for coming into the area.

I recently moved to Tucson and it's very different. Every little corner has tiny independently owned shops. It's also a real mashup of incomes and styles. Kind of a hands off when it comes to signage and architetcural codes. And very blue town whereas Phoenix is bright red. There's a handful of shopping centers with Walmarts on the outskirts of town, near freeways but that's it. Inside the city there are few, zero of the kind where you have to drive from store to store. Phoenix is very segregated in comparison. I won't drive through half of Phoenix and I'm pretty daring. Tucson doesn't do that.

It's all policy and politics.

well, girlfriend just got her 2x 650 ego starter kit. she is trying to use it. the kit came with ce4's with 510 drip tips?! and the tip is the only thing keeping the juice in the area, so no laying it down or you get a leak. grr.

she was going through all of my juices wanting to drip test them all and wanting me to adjust my voltage to match her battery output. she has pina colada in it. wanted to use the last of my mint chocolate chip but it wasnt enough to fill her tank. i feel bad. ill have to let her drip that flavor.

The CE4's I've seen have a tiny bit of thread on the tips; after you push them on as far as it will go (nice grammar!), you tighten it a few turns and it seals up. Never had a problem with them leaking.....

That sounds like they are the ones Aikanae uses, the Bauway ce4's, the only other ones that I know of that can take a 510 drip tip are the Aspires. Are the heads replaceable? If they are, they could be Aspires. Is it top coil or bottom coil?

The o-ring has to be exactly in the right place on many of the CE4's unscrew ans check the o-ring, see if that keeps the liquid in place, I never had any problems with CE4's

When do you get it or do you already have it?

Anyone try Guilty Pleasures Organics eliquid? I found them from a referral of their coffee vape, but it seems their liquids have "happy lungs" herbs added. Hmmm.... ? Typically I don't want anything added, but looking further into it, this might be an exception. It's supposed to help with asthma and COPD. Kinda curious now.

Before you order, know what you're getting. Don't want to see you get hurt.

I found these:

Ganoderma Lucidum Facts

The World Most Popular Herbs – Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) Health Benefits and Side Effects | Health Articles

Avena sativa - Oats Benefits & Information

Hopefully these will help you in making your decision.

I just ordered the MVP2 this afternoon. Hopefully it won't take too long to get it.

I think you are going to love the MVP2 Thaya. Can't wait to hear your feedback on it. Not as powerful as your Zmax but the battery life is amazing. Make sure you have a few adapters so you can use evods and protanks on it.
