Yeah, idk. The only glass that shattered was my fireluke 2 tank too. When I dropped the solo, it was with my falcon king tank and the glass just got a slight scratch on it, almost looks like a chip but it isn’t.

It shocked me when that tank broke. It broke into jagged pieces. But I like it a lot. Just glad they had extra glass in the kit.

Yeah I had to use mine when it shattered. My vape shop has one replacement glass, but it’s this ugly green/yellow looking thing. I’m trying to find just plain clear glass

My latest non vaping purchase was this table I bought at an estate auction for $12.
It weighs about 130 lbs. The top is what appears to be a cultured granite. I thought I was buying some cheap laminated junk. Was pleasantly surprised when I showed up to pick up and this was the table.
$12.
I love estate auctions.

Yeah I frequent online estate auctions. Last one I picked up a two door chest, solid wood made by Hooker Furniture. Paid 100 bucks and it sells online for over $1200.

Those are for the Mesh one. I looove the FL Mesh, though. It’s the FL2 that I broke, it uses bubble glass. And has a side fill port.

You’d prolly like the FL Mesh, especially for a Vapocalypse stash.

see where is says "mesh" click the dropdown tab =shitload of options. i used my Twister 1 coil, i liked it a lot. i don't like the price of coils. though, compared with the price of cigs, they are cheap.

EightVape had the Freemax coils on sale for the Fire Luke tanks but they had the Tea ones I’ve never used, so I only got about seven boxes. :cry:

The Freemax Mesh tank on the Twister mod was surprisingly good. Better than the Fire Luke 2 that it came with, imho. It doesn’t feel like a cheapish setup to me.

I had a serious think months ago about how and what I like to vape, and what I use daily, and it ended up being the Fire Luke 2 and Mesh tanks. So I decided to stock up as much as I could on those tanks and coils.

But I also got some RDAs just in case the vapocalypse never ends, since I don’t want to stop vaping!!

Are you going to use the lecithin with flowers? Or as a supplement? I was thinking about oil. Nvm me!
Flowers, eventually. Possibly a supplement, I'm still looking into that, but 5150 shared an article about using it with oil.

Just ordered a couple of new upgraded gig bags for my cheaper guitars. The nicer ones get hard cases. The prized ones get ATA flight cases.

thats not good.
Yeah, A friend of mine and his wife and kids stopped by this morning. His dizzy fucking wife grabbed some glasses and the Kool-Aid from the fridge and tripped over a 1/2 inch tall flip flop and dropped everything. Broke the glasses and the pitcher also. Talk about doing it right!
Was going for new carpet this summer anyway. Already run over it half a dozen times with the shampoo machine and still getting purple water in the recovery tank. Fuck it. Going to Wally World and by some cheap runway rugs to cover it after it drys.
And not walk barefoot on it ever again either.

Ya I've heard the same about Win 10 from people too. I think a lot of people just have a hard time with change in general. I was coming from Win 7 so it took me a while to figure things out. Once I got to know where things are and what had changed I realized Win 10 is pretty good. I am though kinda nerdy and actually enjoy learning that stuff :). Win 10 comes with a program that makes it easy to link to an Android phone, but I haven't explored that yet. That could be good.

One thing I miss from Win 7 Pro is the great XP virtual machine it has. I run an old CAD program in that VM and it does everything I want it to. I tried Hyper-V in Win 10 Pro and eventually got it running an install of Win 2000 but it just doesn't perform well enough for CAD. At least the way I had it set up. Tried Virtual Box but that didn't work out for me either. Going to just have to keep my old box around for CAD.

I agree that Edge is nice, I used it the first few days to see what it's like. I would have used it longer but it doesn't do a couple of little things I want like open a new tab from a link on top. I ended up settling on Firefox and I'm happy with that now. It also has some pretty neat features like being able to sync bookmarks between multiple machines including phones. It's got good privacy features too which I like.

W7pro here. i am a tech tard :zombie:. i mostly just fumble through it, but i figure some stuff out. to me W10 is not much different, just more stuff.

android = just plug it in. all i do is get pics off phone, idk what more it can do :zombie:. fyi, its not the fastest, kinda of a pita slow. but it works.

While I didn't buy it, I get to use it. He bought a VR thing, so I watched one where I got to go to space for a little while. Pretty cool. Aside from that, I got new shoes recently. Mine desperately needed replacing.

I got one that you put your phone in a few years ago. As seen on TV at walmart isle. Lol. Was pretty neat for a cheapo like that. Flew with a wing suit. Went in the Mariana trench. I can only imagine how cool the expensive ones are.

His phone goes in it, too. He wanted the Oculus, but settled for, wayyyyy cheaper, lol. I went into space, where the moon so close close I thought I could touch it, then for a landing, I was hovering over the ocean. Then because I didn't know how to turn it off, I was front row for a steel drum show. :D

Those sound cool, I haven't gotten to check any of the new stuff like oculus or even the phone ones. My first experience was a trip, it was some gaming place at a mall in Arizona.. 25, maybe 26yrs ago. They had these platforms you stood on, put the big goggles on and held a controller in the hands. There was some sort of barrier around the platform to keep you from falling off. The graphics were kinda garbage but it was still cool, some space aliens thing and it was multiplayer. Like 5 people at a time I think. Trippy to look to your left and see one of the other players in the game..and they're looking back at you and see your character.

Most recent purchase, some tech stuff. Mostly for my mom's pc, she's running out of room on her hard drive. I remember when back in the day she had an 18gb drive and said ohhh ho ho, this will be the last drive I'll ever need. No way I could ever fill this thing up. Fast forward like 18yrs and she's telling me her 1tb drive is full. lol. So found a decent deal on a wd ultrastar 6tb enterprise drive with 5yr warranty. That after failed phone call attempts to the seller and wd resulted in confirmation by email that if wd won't honor the warranty for being an oem drive, the retail place will. We'll see, hope I don't have to use it. Wd has decent drives but man their tech support sucks. Naturally I get some guy from India or someplace, he says in busted ass english 'hel-lo and velcom to wes-tern dig-i-tal'. Oh boy. He asked for my name, my phone number and the nature of my call. So I gave him my name. And he replies with '...and your name?' Yep, we're done. Namaste bubba.

So that'll be some work, setting that up for her but maybe the sides of her pc case will stop bulging with overfull folders. lol. Got some minor stuff, a fan extension cable to reconnect her side fan, a molex to sata power cable in case the drive number is wrong. Some follow the old specs and will boot just fine with a sata cable, others follow the new power standard that when the 3.3v pin is powered makes the drive fail to spin up. Rather than cross my fingers I get the exact confirmed model number, worth it to get a cheap cable jic.

Some different lcd cleaner, my bottle's almost out. Found a good deal for 2x 17oz bottles and an empty spray bottle with 10 microfiber rags for $11. Noticed the price of mech keyboards has dropped considerably so got an aukey rgb board with outemu blue switches for $50. I know they're not cherry mx but it also wasn't a $150 board. I've had this cheapo microsoft kb600 membrane kb for at least 6yrs, maybe longer. It clacks and rattles, half the characters have rubbed off it, there's a dent worn into the space bar where my thumb hits it. Didn't know plastic could deform like that. Like it's an actual trough, surprised it hasn't worn through. Hopefully I can turn the led rainbow trim off on it, not really into the circus lighting but being able to choose a backlight color will be handy for low light. And since most of the cheaper boards seem to love their blue switches, got a keycap puller and some orings to help quiet it. It won't stop the internal click but may help deaden the key clatter every time it bottoms out. I think most of the stuff will be here by the end of the week.

I got a new keyboard for Christmas, been wanting one that is back lit for a while nothing fancy, just something his sister got off Amazon. Boyfriend comments all the time that he doesn't hear me clacking away, while I didn't realize it was loud before. Right now I have it set to blue. Not much for the rainbow one, either. It'll remain static, or I can set it to pulse, or even rotate through the colors - purple, blue, red, green, yellow, light blue, while, rainbow or none at all.

That's how this one is. I was thinking it would be full spectrum rgb, turns out it's not. Has like dark blue, red, light blue/aqua, green, yellow, purple and white. It's all good though, the lighter colors work for what I wanted. It's a little clicky but I'll get used to it. More of a sharp high pitched click, not the sound of the keys slapping the board. It's the type of switches, they have a plastic piece inside sort of like a clicky pen, that same kind of plastic snap. It's comfy enough though and with the audible click I find I'm not mashing the keys as hard. Of course naturally today I see there's a coupon for $6 off this exact board on amazon. Bastards lmao.

I'm digging it though, easier to see the keys and they feel pretty good. I just can't do the real dark backlit colors, not enough contrast to see in low light. Most of the time I'm not even looking at the keys when I type but there's times like with gaming where I'll lift my hands off and have trouble finding the right keys. I don't type properly, it's a sort of touch type but not the 'proper' way they teach you with the home row and all that. Sort of hunt and peck using a few fingers without looking lol. It works. The way people were talking about clicky keys made me think it'd be waking up the neighbors. Although I can imagine it'd be hell in an office environment especially with a few or more people all typing at once. Like those old rooms with a dozen or more people on mechanical typewriters in the media war rooms and stuff.

Do they taste any different from Chicken Eggs?

Richer and a larger yoke for duck eggs; goose eggs are super creamy and yoke is ridiculous big
