Ya know... when I bought my first reo, russ posted a fat lady singing pic.

Sitting here about 15 mods later, $700 aud in my paypal ready for peter to be comfortable he isn't going to drop and break my mod, and I can safely say there was no fat lady.

It was a false fat lady

$200 fat lady?
That's a whole lot of Rosie.(great song by a roo band).
Reliable for sure but that price point is high for a fan boy like me. Newbies will pffft $200. I'm guessing a price drop in the future.

My first reo was cheap. You guys seriously broke your dollar value. I think a usd was costing about 90 cents and reos were $140ish.

That was meant to be the end though. I need to summon my inner hawkpak2zerize and not buy stuff

I live vicariously through you're mod buying. Don't stop.
I'm just overly frugal. Or lazy. Fine line between the two.

2 more lists after this one, a vr wood mod and a PC wood mod

rWwlqjF.jpg


Not paying for the latter though, I got an early beta release, which had issues, and Paul is insisting he will gift me a replacement. He doesn't make money as it is, he just likes working with wood and sells them for $140 aud [about $90 usd i think] I'll probably sneak money to his paypal.

Anyway, my point was, I'm hoping this fat lady is fatter and sings better

You deserve a behemoth that trills like an angel.....and I really mean that.
I'm paunchy and can hum and whistle somewhat better than average. You want me to stand under your window and serenade you? I can bring 1Pak to harmonize with armpit "farts".

and herk howling along?

I also need to perpetrate some bottle cleaning and mass mixing. I'm off Thursday and Friday and need to replenish
The grog stash.

i need to mix unflavoured. Finally at the end of my nic that was pink when i got it, might have to up my nic with this pansy clear stuff to equal the throat hit

DIY has made it easier to resist looking at new gear; at least once I got a couple new pieces to test flavors with. I find it much more rewarding.
Other than that, my life is like the movie Groundhog Day, each the same as the one before, less enthusiasm each time. Waiting for the rewarding part of having kids to return, but have a feeling it will be a very long wait.

Mixing has become a lot easier. Basically double ry4.....straight up.....some with a touch of menthol, caramel or vanilla....some with a touch of a different tobacco...etc......
300-600ml in an hour or so for 5-10 "different" flavors. Still sitting on a liter+ of nic......think I'll jump back up to 33mg. Girly nic levels are like wearing a tutu. People laugh at you....lol....

What level have you been using? I vape a girly 25mg. Only measured by a visual roughly a quarter of the bottle in 100mg nic. But I supplement nic and minor alkaloids with swedish-snus

Sup Dready?
DIY was the best move I ever made in my vaping journey.
I don't have to impress anyone but me.....and I'm easy.

Did your kidletts go somewhere?

I was seriously considering a MIniVolt and a tank to go with it, but then I checked my bank account. All my pennies have to go to the house for the foreseeable future, so I remain vaping frugal. I should look for another job. Soon.
Dready, I'm in groundhog day rut, too. Don't have the kiddies, so I can't really relate, but I get the repetitiveness thing.
Hawk/Doggie/22, nice to see some banter in here. It's been a while.

Hey hawk.
I'm starting to get to the point with DIY where I'm making flavors that I've never seen sold. Coming up with a few I really like. But I don't get much time, maybe an hour or two at night every 2 or 3 days. Guess that's good, since they need to steep.
Kids didn't go anywhere. They are right here, all day and night, every day. Seems they seldom sleep at the same time either, and love to make sure no one else sleeps either.

You've been seriously considering lots of mods.

Maybe we can all chip in $20 to the glory of embee fund and buy you one.

If you bantered more instead of stealth liking like the Swede does.....youknowwhatimsayin?
Think you are on the coffee and donuts list. Whatcha bring?
I've also noticed that without the fetti moji, this place stays cleaner way longer.....just sayin......not finger pointing.....

Kissy/ huggy moji......if we had one.

Lack of mojis is an issue. I've wanted to :boxing: a few times. But it isn't as friendly in text as a moji

No.
I saw a mini volt kit for like $45 on eBay...I could swing it if I really wanted it that bad. If I wait a little longer they'll probably get even cheaper. Plus, in another month or so my workshop should be back up running, so I'll be able to bring in a little more cash. I'm patient. Really.
Thank you for the thought, though Doggie, XO

Guilty as charged, I guess. Though I've tried a few times and my attempts went unrequited. I guess timing is everything.
What's your excuse?
kissy/huggy backatcha.
And some low carb pancakes too.

Aren't the mini volts 40 watts? These new tanks like the powah. The crown at 75watts didn't do much for me. But our vaping style is different.

I'm just itching to spend money after saving up for a month.

CoV made a tank to go with it, comes with .8 ohm coils. I've seen a bunch others that are making ohm+ coils too. I think there's more higher ohm vapers out there than it may seem.

One day, when their snotty/smelly teenagers, you'll look back on this time very fondly. So you've got that going for you.

My mixing has become one big foray when I have the time. But when you mix just tobacco type grogs it's a pretty straightforward endeavor. If I were doing fruity/desserty types it would be more involved.
I've got grogs I've never seen sold, probably because real juice makers have more taste and integrity than I do, but I really like my stuff. It's perfect for me.
I've said it many times......DIY stands for (D)what (I)you (Y)like. Maybe it should be called WYL instead of DIY.

Guess I'm guilty as well. I tend to only post when I'm full of stupid. I've been pretty smartsy lately....hence the lack of Hawk. I'm afraid if I post lucid, intelligent crap I'd confuzzle everybody.

Now I want pancakes......and no such animal as a low carb pancake.
Maybe I'll have a glass of spicy V8 with my added spiceys in it. It provides a severe system wake up as well as "2 servings of vegetables"......whatever that constitutes.

the "2 serves of vegetables" help to move on the high carb pancakes

I briefly used macs, linux now. I need a new laptop, I bought a second hand one last year as a stop gap, but it is not holding up. Random freezes

Don't worry Dog I'm living in the land of confusion now anyway so I didn't notice anything wrong.

Hawk I'm not sure everything will be setup the way I want it for quite a while, for now I'm just trying to get it close enough to be able to shut down the old computer and move it out so I can move this one to the desk. The Mac is sitting on my craft table right now, and while I actually like it here I would like to have my craft table, which also serves as a coil building station, back. I think I'm going to try to slow down on the moving/arranging stuff and do some artwork for a day or two, I say that but I will probably continue on with the busy work. lol

OK Mac doesn't estimate backup time any more accurately than Windows does BUT its off in the opposite direction. It estimated that it would take 5 hours to do the first backup and it only took a little over an hour, unlike Windows that estimates 5 hours and it takes two days. :)

Nope. Just a Bulldogs t-shirt and a tutu.

My bad.....sorry.
Wasn't implying you had a fuzzy upper lip......but couldn't find Herk and initially thought he had stretched out just under your nose. But it's barely noticeable........in total darkness.....
Oh look......I found my stupidity......

I'll be needing pics of you in the tutu and Bulldogs tee BTW.....include the feet please.

Kissy/huggy moji.
