Glad to bring a new family to the TN table. Let me know if I can do anything for ya man. J

Solid choice for a quitting mechanism. I'm looking now. J

They had the "is it Germany or Florida game!" I'm just glad there's an entire section dedicated to Florida that supports my prejudice.Which prejudice is that? It's prolly right. J

That's a good call. I started with the Blu the day before I went to Hawaii. I had been cold turkey for almost a month but was being a uptight prick so needed some sort of nicotine and that was the W's suggestion. Mark quit using the Blu last year, which if you remember he was a pretty heavy lemaC smoker. Long story short, I thought the blu sucked as it taste's like meth, and the battery's don't last. I literally would suck until I was blu in the face (pun intended). When I got back I tried Ivy's CE4 tank with a 650 mAh eGo battery and realized how well it worked as a nicotine delivery system and without turning blu in the face. I then remembered I had the eGo starter kit someone had given me. I dug it out and bought the CE4 (2.4ohm) tank at Smoker friendly as my girls store was closed that day. The CE4 was good other than the tank buckling and leaking IF carried in your jeans pocket, and the easy to lose o-ring. After losing the o-ring on the CE4 I remembered I had an H2 (1.8ohm with wick mod) tank and 950 mAh battery my girl had given me the last time I tatt'ed on her. Instantly was happier with the bigger hits from the 1.8 coil. Also the H2 is a cleaner, simpler design with less parts to fuck up. Bought the H2 for Ivy to replace her CE4 and she agreed it was a better budget tank. I also would question anyone I was working on that had a vape pen. As everyone had a different setup I quickly figured out the two most common battery style setups. The one's Seth talks about are AA size'ish and require a seperate charger like one for AA's. This type requires a head unit to hook the battery case to the tank and serve as the controller. These battery setups require a different battery case for each size mAh battery. The other most common battery is the eGo style ones. These are one piece and screw on to a usb cord for charging. The controller is built in to the eGo battery. I upgraded to the Protank and eGo-C Twist once i had a little time in and knew what I was looking for. Believe me it doesn't hurt to have extra's for backups so even if you start with a basic setup and upgrade once your a little more familiar, the money spent won't be in vein. Or if your like me I just give them to others wanting to start vaping. If you are just using it as a nicotine delivery system to quit smoking then I suggest get the eGo-C Twist and either the H2 or Protank. The usb cords are like 2 dollars so grab a couple of those too. They did just come out with a slim Protank but the mouth piece has a o-ring push style connection opposed to the threaded on most tanks. See if there is a local vape store to go try things out. Don't let them sell you a kit if it has bullshit you don't need as you can usually piece a setup together for less. I think I'm going to have to go in this week or weekend. Get on the way to being cig free. I'm just shocked Mark quit with the blu.....that is insane. J Marky said he would be hugging that thing from the second he woke up at first. Then as time went on he said he would make it half way through the day without even thinking about. I could of easily quit after a few months on the Blu also. As I had already went a month. BUT the dynamics of life are currently at a peak so I am not beating myself up over it. As long as I don't start drinking I could care less if I am smoking cigars or a vape pen. Does fell good to be off the Camels though. The Blue did nothing for me but piss me off. When I am stressed out I chain smoke like a chimney. This damn thing telling me 'enough' didn't get me to slow down, it pissed me off and had me lighting a real cig. Hopefully this time will be different. J

Made Chili today in the slow cooker. Heats up more than the Broncos did, J

Sean I figured you were fucking with me, but just had to be sure. Jared- I'm hunting around, just trying to do homework first J

Friend of a friend. I probably won't see the guy anytime soon. But he gave my boss a lure as I said I love fishing but don't get to go a lot.We are gonna fish this year Sean. I didn't know you were so behind. I'm in a similar boat. Have not fished since Iraq. My biggest issue is I HATE touching fish. Just creeps me the fuck out. I'm usually pretty good at picking my bait and catching good fish, and love the fight. Getting them off the hook, yea not so much. I think I need a good guide.J that isn't a similar boat. I will grab a 50".muskie lol. I'vs had sinners where I hit more than 80 lakesI only ment that I hadn't fished since 2011. Should have seperated my thoughts better. J

What voltage do you use with the .6 ohm coil? My girls are moving their vape store in the unit next to my shop this weekend. I can see spending a lot of time(and money) over there! How is their pricing?I really need to get off the cigs and on to vaping. I know what I want in a vap too but not how to get it. - Actual clouds of vapor. i feel 'cheated' when i take a drag and see no vapor. - At least two or three tanks. I don't plan on using anything besides vap juices in there, but want to have varieties of flavor available. - Batteries that last at least 18 hours without charging. I smoke a shit ton when I drive, and when I can at work. I believe I can vape at my desk, which would help me too. - Would love adjustable settings so I can 'tune' as needed for a stronger taste, vapor clouds, or throat hit. - No desire to make my own coils or anything. I will just buy new coils or a variety of coils for options. I currently smoke Camel Wide menthols, and occasionally go back to my Camel Wides. When no Wide menthols are available, i will usually pick up newports. Yes I know that's a broad spectrum. Any chance some of you gents can point me to proper options? J I like the eGo twist for the money. CE4s and Protanks are also solid options. I like the ProTank2 best of the 3 Protanks available. The ProTank 1 uses glue joints on the tanks. These can deteriorate over time and leak. The 2 and 3 do not use glue joints, and being glass they deal with harsher acidic juices like cinnamon, and fruits, anything acidic or hot, will crack plastic tanks and melt glues. So keep that in mind when buying juices of different sorts. I also love the Aspire BDCs and their Nautilus. For more adjustability the Nautilus wins hands down, better flow for more vapor and a great flavor head makes it a high end clearo. It is a bit spendy, but still well within your budget. Big clouds are going to be more of a mech mod and rebuildables. Low loads and high current delivery and capacity, as well as massive discharge rates with more fine tunability give you a lot of room to set it up how you like it. But you really need to learn about what makes these things tick or you will get frustrated early and be unlikely to keep stinky free. I can fill a room with vapor pretty quickly with some of my heads, but I build them more for flavor. You can easily get into a nice starter mech/rebuilder clone set for about $125 if you decide you want more. Damn good set up. The H2 is a more universal fit battery. Almost everything that is listed as a 510 or eGo thread will fit. I seem to recall some common heads will not thread on the Ts. Maintenance depends on your liquids and bankroll. Some liquids will load down coils and require cleaning or replacement when the coils gunk up, hence the cost. Others will be less apt to load up. You can usually clean heads well with some high alcohol content neutral alcohols like vodka or Everclear. I use everclear on my tanks as it is more neutral. Your batteries depend on how far you want to go. You can buy the eGo, which is a battery built into the controller, making it disposable (but they last several hundred recharge cycles), or you could go with a variable voltage/variable wattage unit like a Sigelei Legend as an "entry level" VV mod device, or a mid level eVic which really performs among the better VV Mods, or a Provari which house the same batteries as your mech mods. I have several batteries now, essensicially a eGo Twist, an eVic, and a couple mechanicals so my batteries fit several mods. You will need an appropriate charger as well. Your eGos and eVics and the like use USB cables, where your higher end VV/VWs and mechs will need stand alone chargers. I don't mind spending some dough on start up and to have some spares laying around. I know its not cheap for quality, and the sky is the limit. I would like to stay under 250 for a good set up with some spares, and 2 or 3 flavors. Would also be nice if I can safely charge it in my car as well as off the wall and/or PS3. J

It's the feel of em that bothers the fuck out of me. J

When no Wide menthols are available, i will usually pick up newports. Yes I know that's a broad spectrum. Any chance some of you gents can point me to proper options? J Low ohm coil x high voltage=big cloud of smoke. There are some crazy pricey tanks out there. I have turned quite a few ppl on to a starter level tanks and also have a few myself. The H2 is a good choice in the 7-8 dollar range. CE4 is also a good starter tank. The CE4 come's in a non rebuild-able and rebuild-able. once again 6-8 dollars. The Kanger Protank is a good middle of the road choice and is only 16-20 dollars. Most are rebuild-able in that you can replace the coil and wick as a single unit in about 5 seconds. The Protank come's with a 2.4 ohm and 1.8 omh coil. I got a tatt that just walked in. BRB So in theory I can get going for under 100 with a good one and some juices? J

Does he need people in Tampa? J

I have had two Toshiba's now. The one I currently own is 3.5 years old. It boots slowly but is also bogged down by programs and pictures. It was a midline laptop when i got it. The other one. I had for 2 years. It only got put down because the screen broke. The rest remained intact. It was wrapped in clothes in a backpack. The backpack was run over and destoyed By a plane. J

Make her do what you do. If it's too hard for her, have her do 15-20 reps not 6 reps. Her foot position for squats will change. Because hips. :-) Her shoulders will be narrow so benching becomes harder. Some women find dumbbells better for benching. Maybe it's mental and the bar freaks them out. Whatever you do, don't let her talk some old bull shit about how weights will make her huge. Unless she eats huge she won't get huge. And women's bones are at more risk, so weight training is much more important for their general health. If she works out with you, yelling and grunting might turn her off.... Maybe it will turn her on though. :-) If she has a "problem area" she wants to target let me know and I can be more specific. If her target area is the tummy....... Start biking 16miles and lifting. Lol calorie deficit is the only way to help the tummy.crunches might make it bigger. Avoid crunches for another reason, your back is a joint, and as such has limits till it begins breaking down. Save that for more important shit. Simply put planks, mountain climbers, and flutter kicks are best. J

Fuck I gotta find my way back to the gym. J

I know they can take down a survalence blimp. J

I am stoked for you Steve! I have spent quite a bit of time in Southlake area. Thats a great neighborhood!thanks dude. Hopefully it all works out with the inspection. Has new roof, new pebble tec pool, and a few other things.I have big plans for the house after closing.Can't go wrong as its only 20 years old. You REALLY cant go wrong with masonry exterior. Does the pool have a hot tub section built in? I assume you are moving your construction biz up to the DFW area?the pool does not have the spa portion. We plan to add an above ground one near the house. Looming at the Arial view, none of these houses had the hot tub. Just a pool. The biggest draw for us to this house was that it had a pool and a decent yard.My company did ask me to move up there. Sadly I don't own the company though.Back in '09 I started my own subcontractor company. When it got slow I took a job with my competition and closed up shop. Fast forward a few years. that company got bought out by a firm in Minneapolis. They are the ones who asked me to run all the projects in north Texas. My wife works from home, so she can live in any major city that her company (Nike) has an office in.Any chance she has some pull with R&D? Got a shoe idea that is not on the market at all, but cannot afford a patent. LOLJPatents are cheap. You would more than likely be considered a micro firm therefore fees would be under $100 bucks for filing. Then you have maintenance fee which aren't bad. If you need a patent attorney. Here is a good one.Richard c calrderwood.Thanks man! Just gotta figure out how to build a prototype. I have sketches, but nothing more solid.JI have access to a TON of build houses...Got ones that can build a prototype off a drawing?JNot directly, but I have a guy. Can find a place to make ANYTHING cheap. Considering he works for me it doesn't suck. That being said see my previous post.When you're right, you're right. Guess I gotta figure some shit out. Doing some more research there is a design out that has a similar idea but is not even close to what my idea would do. Could be cost effective as hell for the parents as well. J

Try marketing the patent for sale. Its a unique idea that has not appeared on the market EVER according to my research. J

TTT J

Those look pretty damn stout. J
