That made me laugh. Unfortunately (or fortunately lol), I am pretty good at shopping!!
I spent way too much this weekend and I didn’t even go crazy. smh I can see falling in love with this shit, though. Get thee behind me, expensive mods...Thank God for Aegis’s on sale.
Although, I bought a Mini and they sent me a Legend last sale I shopped! I wanted the mini beast, yo.
I have the Aegis Legend, which is a great power mod, but it does not do good temperature control.

I'm not big on internal batteries so of course I'm happy for you that they sent the Legend by mistake :D Of course I know it's not my call.

It does good temperature control too.

I’m only good at wattage now, so I weird out when it goes into TC. It sounds like way too much heat at 500deg!
It’s cool to be talking to ppl who are experienced in all this, that I can ask questions and not feel like an idiot. This forum is great. :)

Well, I use mainly external batteries but I have one internal mod that I love, the OBS Cube. It looks beautiful with the resin panels and it really goes for a decent amount of time (3000mah, I think.)
The Legend is heavy for me, so I use it as a backup. It sounds bad saying that, though! Lol
The Solo is my Reliable Beast, I love that mod. I’m so glad that I got it.

The bad news is, it can become a super-massive black hole for money.

far as hobbies go, this one is pretty inexpensive. except for the high end mods, $1000 stabs, etc.
when I was doing Home Theater and HOT RODDING, there are $700 components and parts. and there are lots of them needed.

I don’t drive, but I’m assuming those are old cars? I can see getting into something like that, though. If you watch old films, they have the best cars.
I can’t stand that cars are made of fiberglass. If I decide to drive, I want a Dodge Swinger. From the 70’s. Lol Low key cool.

What's your firmware version on the Legend? V1.1 has a patch for SS TC. Mine works great since I upgraded the firmware.

I think V1.2 is available now, but I haven't upgraded a second time.

Ack, I forgot to upgrade it. It’s probably just 1.0, then.
Did you have any problems with it? Because one weird thing that happened was it jumped up to 100watts without my noticing, when I was changing it in the 40w range. Big surprise that was! But it’s my user error prolly, but I’ve never done anything like that.

My Zeus X that was supposed to be delivered today is apparently in the black hole of some USPS sorting station in LA.

:cuss2::gaah::tantrum::deadhorse:


Everyone’s having probs with the mail recently, it seems. I know that don’t help you, though. I hope it gets there safe and sound. There was an earthquake there? Hope ur okay.

I haven't tried TC on it in a long time, but it was all the place the last time I did.

That's exactly why I said that if you don't NEED WTA, you shouldn't use it -- because it IS very addictive, almost as bad as cigarettes -- dropping nicotine is a piece of cake; if you do it slowly, your body doesn't even notice it. But it DEFINITELY DOES notice when you drop the percentage of WTA.

I started with it as 10% of my vape... then went to 9%, then 8%, etc.... and every single percentage point I went down, I was completely out of sorts for at least a week. When it got to 4%, I knew I had to start going more slowly, because dropping to 3% at that point would have been a 25% reduction -- much too fast a drop. So I went by .5% until I got to 2%, when I starting dropping it by .2%, until I got to 1%... then dropped only by .1% until I'd been AT .1% for 3 weeks... and even dropping that last .1%, my body noticed and I was out of sorts for a week or so.

If you just want the "smoky" taste, use NETs instead; they won't fuck with you. Or you could get some Tobacco Absolute, which also has a smoky taste, or even "ashy" if you use too much -- but those are FLAVORS, not psychoactive chemicals, as WTA definitely is.

Since it’s my first order, I’ll try it. But I’ll be wary and use it sparingly. I don’t even use the Om stuff regularly. I have two bottles of 6mg stuff, which is probably infused stuff. So I’ll go easy with the DIY 24mg I got.
Om says it might be addictive but in a way that makes you want to try it. Clever marketing, imo. Like, we don’t think these are for everyone blah blah which makes it exclusive sounding, not you may pick up a habit from these. I didn’t look into them for the cool HTF factor though, I was not getting what I needed from FB and thought it was just me. Even raising my nic doesn’t help!
Thank you, Andria. I’m glad you’re there to give a shit.

No, I didn't ever have anything like that happen. The only trouble I had was the temp control with stainless coils.

Dat's cool, sounds like it really might help! Some of us really do find it difficult to quit and stay that way, even replacing both nicotine AND the behavior -- my first quit, in Feb 2014, just the behavior replacement seemed quite sufficient; I did have a few issues along the way with depression, or irrational anger, but those passed pretty quickly, so I gave WTA a miss. But after that appendectomy, relapse, and re-attempt, with those damn horrible cravings plaguing me, if it hadn't been for WTA, I wouldn't have been able get and stay smoke-free, at least not for however long it took for my digestive issues to finally be completely healed.

God, I hated it when I was dual using. That was when I just had a Smok AIO and 3mg juice and I was miserable. I had tried not smoking at all, but was going crazy. Like you said, every time I wanted a smoke, I’d vape. But I still needed a cig every so often, which sucked. And yeah, there’s nothing to replace smoking and vaping. I don’t know of anything with that much hand to mouth stuff. Eating doesn’t do it, and who needs to gain weight quitting anyway? :)

When I realized after like 3 months of only vaping, that the urge was coming back in a psychological way, I was bummed. I had heard about Aroma in passing on ECF, but it’s like you have to look on your own for info there sometimes. I’m still waiting on my order but I don’t think this guy is a total dick or a rip off.

Have you tried probiotics for your IBS? It’s supposed to help the lining heal up. I take them every so often, or if I’ve taken antiB’s, which helps. Google Microbiome, but you probably know about it already.
It’s like talking to a cool aunt that vapes with you. I trust you!

Have you bought from Om lately? The last two sales their alkaloid juice was OOS in basically all flavors, even Umba Pure (no flavor.)
Maybe they’re phasing them out, since it seems a lot of ppl like their FB flavors. Say hi to the animal friends!

No. Only around thanksgiving sales

And I have not tried the dvap special. It is always out of stock. But he invented WTA liquid. Even though he only used nic. It was just to help others.

I don't think that was actually psychological, having the cravings come back after 3 months -- that's one of the very worst times, when quitting smoking -- way back in 1984, I tried quitting, because of the guy I was going out with then, who was absolutely psychotic on the subject of smoking. So, cold turkey quit because I caught a bad case of strep throat and smoking felt like inhaling boiling hot gravel anyway... and after 3 months, I just couldn't take it for another INSTANT, and started back smoking. And I was so sneaky, so sly with eating and teeth-brushing and showering before he got home, I hid it from him for a couple years (it helped that his office was full of smokers, so he had that scent on him when he got home, so never smelled it on me!) -- we even ended up married for a year, by which time it was getting clearer and clearer to me that trying to be someone I'm not, is not a recipe for happiness. But there's this "rule of 3's" you might even have heard of, over at ECF (that's where I heard of it), 3 days, 3 wks, 3 mos, as the big huge danger points when quitting smoking -- apparently a LOT of people succumb at those times. I think it's the actual physical addiction, which some smokers never really get, and then some of us have IN SPADES!

Probiotics do NOTHING for IBS, at least not IBS-C -- but eating a ton of fiber and staying hydrated, that's what helps. If I'm seriously stressed, then sometimes my IBS-C flops over to IBS-D... and probiotics might help with that, but mainly I just try to stay unstressed. I dont think there's any need for "healing," it sounds like you're thinking of diverticulitis or diverticulosis, I don't know which is which, but both/either might benefit from "healing." The big problem I had was appendicitis, topped off with appendectomy, finished up with the most godawful 4 days of my life while my IBS let me know that it was NOT happy about any of this shit, so here ya go, have some VOMITING! A Fate Worse Than Death as far as I'm concerned -- it took me another 3 days before I was starving enough to even ATTEMPT eating! And boy was THAT fun, trying to eat when your stomach has shrunk to the size of a fucking walnut. And everything tastes HORRIBLE because of not eating for a full week... that was what made me decide, hell, if everything tastes bad anyway, I might as well fucking smoke and at least get rid of these goddamned cravings.

I really think it was the Universe, responding to my statements of the previous 4 months when I kept saying i would NEVER smoke again -- the Universe was like, "Oh yeah? Well let's just SEE, shall we?" So I'm a lot more humble now, though it's now been nearly 5 yrs since I last smoked; now I just say, "I hope I never have to smoke again," but I'm honest enough to know that if somehow I couldn't vape... I'll probably, almost certainly, be back to smoking again. Really, really hope that never happens -- I LOVE being a non-smoker! And even more than that, I love not wasting so damn much money... on death!

The Rule of Three is so right in my case, it’s kinda creepy. Every other time I tried to quit, it would bite me in the ass at about three weeks. I really figured after three months though, the physical stuff would be gone for good. I can’t believe it lasts this long!!

I’ve learned to qualify things I say, like “how much worse can things get?” Lol The Universe does listen and sometimes will answer in a not so funny way. (Yes, learned the hard way.)

Man, you got patience, woman. With the non smoking husband, I mean. Lol Sorry, just woke up! I’ll talk to you later after coffee and vape. Nice talking! :)

Not just 3 months -- when she died in 2016, my mom had been quit smoking for something over 10 yrs... and she said that everytime she sat down to pay bills, she CRAVED a cigarette. But in her case, she finally got to the point where she had to decide whether to keep smoking or keep breathing, her COPD refused to let her do both. My stepfather has been off cigarettes for nearly 30 yrs now... and he says that sometimes when he has a cup of coffee, he craves a cigarette -- but after 5 strokes and a heart attack, he says he's not nearly stupid enough to go back to it. :giggle:

My 2nd husband is a non-smoker too, has been since long before we met, but he told me that after his first marriage failed, he had to face the fact that if he wanted another woman, he was probably going to have to accept a smoker, because in the 80s, LOTS of women were smokers. So he was always very tolerant... but imagine his absolute DELIGHT when I finally found a way to quit. :D

Your comment made me giggle, remembering this meme:

7.1 mag earthquake last night in Ridgecrest, CA. I'm in North Vegas and we felt it pretty strong here. The whole house was shaking. I don't scare very easily and it scared me a heck of a lot more than the one the day before. Maybe it was 2 days, don't remember now. Lost about 1/4 of the water in the pool.

My cat actually jumped into a box. Poor thing was terrified. Not a good feeling when the floor is moving underneath you. Nothing fell off the walls but a few pictures were a little off center. I hope that was the end of it.

My daughter called me in a panic, Mama, what do I do? Get into an archway...........Apparently that doesn't apply anymore with newer homes due to shoddy workmanship. Next time I'm going under the dining table, that thing is a beast and solid! I think it only lasted about 30 seconds though. By the time I told my daughter where she should go it was already over.

I have the same issue with most flavorings.
If not the chemical taste then a bad mouth, throat and lung irritation issue.
TFA, INW and FA are the worst. Fruits also seem to be worst and all doughnut flavorings taste of playdough.
Frewsh03 convinced me to try Zeppola as it did not have the playdough taste. Maybe not for him...

I can tolerate some CAP and FW.

For whatever reason FA is the only brand that has a funny taste no matter the flavor. I get play dough from time to time and windex in a lot of manufactured lemon juices too. Uncle Junks Grape Big League tastes great to start but finished with a horseradish bite lol

I might later on today try building / making up wire for some 26 awg SSL/316 triple core wrapped with some 40 awg NiCh 80. My aim in doing that is to try getting to a physically cool temperature vapor for myself on a .20 to .25 Ω coil. Of course, I might get it with a staged Clapton too. Either way I might be playing with some wire today. The Gorge CopperVape combo is handling .35 Ω well enough but I would still like to get lower Ω but have it be cool to vape.

ETA @ Thu Jul 11 11:09:10 EDT 2019:

Simple can often prove being more suitable than complex. Tried a triple
core 26 awg SSL316 wrapped in 30 awg Kanthal, the 40 awg NiCh was just a
mess for me to work. A 7 wrap at 3 mm ID barely fit into the Gorge RDA
and that read out at around .248 or so which I rounded to .25. Close
enough for government work. It was a serious battery draining beast
though with all the mass.

So I thought, "why not just go 3 warps with 26 awg SSL/316?" Well,
it seems to do what I want. A nice cool vape at around .236, I can
live with that given I was aiming between .20 - .25. Figure though my
batteries will drain out a lot quicker though. That may prove another
reason to stay around .30 - .35. Yes, I'd bitch if my ice cream was too
cold it seems.
