Morning fugee's
The good news is Cuba is ripping Irma apart. The next advisory I wouldnt be surprised if it was a cat 3 storm and with the eye being mostly on land in Cuba it probably will be down to a cat 2 when it goes back over water if it continues going west.
The bad news is the bitch hasnt turned yet. The farther west it goes the better chance it has to get over the warm gulf waters and rebuild quickly.
I get a kick out of the reporting on the storm. All morning long it was moving west at 290 degree's. That make sense since a west heading is 270 degree's. Now it is moving west north west at 290 degree's.....WTF?
What pauses my thinking of it is hearing one reporter call it properly a hurricane then, the next reporter calls it a storm, It would be hilarious to me that a third reporter might call it a gale still, a fourth reporter call it a squall. I got a bit fussy and grumbled at them. My wife for a minute looked dumbfouned. I explained the wording does matter, as relating to degrees of severity and accuracy of reporting or passing word.
These differences might not quite register with the general population. Will grant they appear subtle and possibly trivial. If you were aboard say a shrimp boat these differences could indeed be the difference between bringing your boat to port or going after another haul and possibly getting killed. Yes, all of them describe weather that is foul. Not all of them require evasive response.
Wonder if they meant North West at 245 degrees? They might be baking a pan of brownies & thought at 290 degrees the brownies get done quicker. They forgot accounting dead reckoning, or it was mixed in with the coca supplied in the mix. Aw well, folks is funny. Know I often can be.
Anyone who wishes to learn some basic weather stuff, the FAA has some excellent resources that are free. All pilots from the casual weekend cloud chaser to the heavy iron driver must possess a basic understanding of weather so in order the pass the test the FAA provides the information which isnt hard to understand and learn.
Now it gets done when I feel like it and a lot of times I just dont have it in me to do it. Life sucks But it is what it is. A buddy of mine told me last night "this is now your life and ya better get fuckin use to it" Sadly he is right.
Here is a lil tidbit you might find interesting. I only learned this recently. When they say %50 chance of rain that does not actually mean you have a fifty percent chance of getting rain, it means that %50 of the forecast area covered will probably see rain.
In the last year I made a couple coils for a Merlin but for the most part I been vaping on tanks that I can replace the coils in. The Tobecco super tanks I mainly use and usually I can get 3 months out of a coil. The unscrew the old coil and screw in a new one. I have become very lazy when it come to my vape stuff. I only mix when I have no choice and replace coils when I have no choice. At times I feel like all the crap I been thru this last year plus has broken my spirit. There use to be no stop to me. If something needed doing, it was getting done. Now it gets done when I feel like it and a lot of times I just dont have it in me to do it. Life sucks But it is what it is.

I hear you, Doc....some folks don't live what you been through. Things can only get better, and I truly hope they do.Thanks for the kind words and inspiration yall.
At times I just feel guilty, like I am milking this and need to get my lazy ass back to work and then something happens where I know there is no way I can go back to work. Last week had this happen. Before Rascal came to spend his week with me I wanted to mow the area that I put him on a long cable so he can do his business without me having to chase him down. I moved this water pipe that lays along the ground with my foot and it popped apart at a connection. Not a big deal. Walked around the house and grabbed a screwdriver, walked back to the front and undid the clamps on the pipe. Tried to put it back together and nope, not happening, too much pressure so had to take the water hose off the spigot, turn the valve on and then push the pipe together. Put the clamps back on and closed the spigot and the pipe was leaking so walked around the house again and grabbed a little wrench for the clamp. Back around the house, tightened it up, job is done. Problem is I am gasping for breath and the world is swimming around me. That was it, I was done for the day. In the past I had that joint come apart before and took care of it like an after thought and kept on doing what I was doing. Now its all I can do for the day. Im just too young for this shit.

From what I saw in Richards review it is pretty much butthole tight. to quite tight lung inhale and seems to vipe nicely thru the range.Is it butthole tight?
Nope it is a regular type RDA watch V1ck's review.Also -- that's a gennie-style, isn't it? I don't do mesh, ever. Doing my own coils is quite enough. Back when I started and I tried out those "510 atomizers" with the mesh in them, all I could taste was fucking hot metal. No thanks!!!

I have NO interest in the mesh attys either.
I have a Lemo2 if you are interested.With this new (to me) Lemo I've been vaping on lately, I have the airflow dialed down to all-the-way closed. Still looser than the Achilles, but it's close enough to suit me. Still quite a nice vape!
Andria

I dunno how it compares to the Lemo 1. And have never tried TC in it. Upon examination it does have a floating 510 pin that Presses up on the main positive connection so it might be a bit iffy on TC. I just vaped regular wattage mode in it fine but it was just a bit too tight on the air for me.Yeah? How does the airflow compare to the original Lemo? My son might find it useful; apparently the "adjustable" 510 of the original Lemo makes it somehow unsuitable for TC, which is what he likes; can't seem to get a good vape using his standard 28ga 316L SS, using the Lemo. I had to peek over at ECF to learn this about the adjustable 510 and TC... but I didn't enjoy it.

As I recall the only real difference was the top side fill port.
I will send one your way. Along with a couple of spare glass, Orings, screws.He'd definitely like the top-fill option. Some of the other goodies in the giant PIFed box of atomizers and parts were quite a few Kayfun v3 minis, which only hold 2ml,. but are top fill. I told him I thought he'd probably like those better than I would, I've heard their airflow is a bit too airy for good MtL. Of course I heard that about the Lemo too, which is why I never bought one, but with it closed all the way, it's reasonably tight; kinda like my modded Magmas, after I put 13ga needles in their airholes.

The standard kit.
It looks like I have never used that one. It seems to have the factory build/wick in it.
Drip tip is what it comes with, you will probably want to use a different one. Standard 510 fitting.
If you really like it I have another one you can have.

Just got back from taking the wife unit to some church thing and shopping at Wally World.Damn you FugeeFucks are quiet lately
Just got back from taking the wife unit to some church thing and shopping at Wally World.
Noticed that Wally World had pulled all the vape stuff from their shelves in the smoking aisle.
Not sure when it happened but they just had some cartons of smokes lying sideways as fillers in the space formerly occupied with vape stuff.
Retail has a bare shelf space phobia.
A bare spot on a shelf will send a manager into a spit slinging fit of rage.
Actually from the looks in the past they did not sell very much vape stuff. It was pretty much the same crap that Walgreens sells.At Walmart? Surely you jest; Walmart DELIGHTS in being completely out of all the stuff that people really like to buy! And once they know that a product is really popular, they'll stop carrying it! I think that's probably #1 in their SOP manual. "Never have in stock the items that people really want."
