Evening Bonkers, was browsing Trinity Glass's website and seen they had Glass caps for the Wotofo Profile so I picked up a couple to try :)

Not exactly 1 to 1 on the cap but the air slots hit the mesh in just the right place :D

Haku beats the Entheon IMO - and Haku drains

Hmm, thanks. TBH, all of my SRDAs in-use drain well enough...not too picky.

It does look nice though...but $20 vs $8 better?

I don't use silicon bottles unless I have to, so more suction. Some I like filling up a bit, like the Drop. :)
Truthfully, I don't really need any more vape gear. I don't use half of what I have now. Ack!

There is always gonna be a new shiny...

So, yeah...a couple months back, I bought some oddball organic berry soda, cuz, i dunno, like 2 for 1$ or something.
Wife went and bought a CASE if it, full price, thinking I must like it.o_O
5 bottles have been kinda taking up fridge space...
But ya know...throw a little tequila in there, and it's kind of tasty!

It's not EXACTLY a squeeze, which of course mostly means it might not be as GOOD as a squeeze.

Well, it might just that they needed it a touch different to let it do 80 Watts & use an 8 ml instead 6 ml bottle. I'm not sure of the quality, good or bad. I ran across it on their site though and it kind of seemed messed up to me, as I said.

AliExpress has three color schemes for between $53 and $56 for the kit. Still high, but not nearly as bad as $95.

No, not as bad.

Because $45-90 for a WaSqueeze is utterly silly, IMO. :)
One of the main selling points to the combo was it was cheap and worked well. Perfect to introduce to new squonkers.
This "NarSqueeze" cost me like $20 and vapes great:

Ah. Thanks for the reminder. *chuckles* Yes, I knew the NarDA would fit. It had slipped my mind though. Probably the shell shock.
Wasp kicked to the box, NarDA taking his place a while. :)

It's $20.99 on pre-order at 3F

That's a much better price by far. I wouldn't bulk over possibly say $40 to $45, because being fair they did do some redesigning it seems.

I bet it tastes awful smooth too. :) I know the glass from the Velocity type decks does wonderful.

..., & there will be the curmudgeonly crew of @The Cromwell , @JuicyLucy , @MyMagicMist to grumble about how all the shiny doesn't matter if it don't squonk and vape but costs a dog's left testicle.

I hope you're a writer IRL, because if not, you really missed your calling. Not sure I've ever encountered anyone with a way with words like yours. :)

:tldr: I am a writer, just not gotten anything major published yet. I have some struggles with it.


Well, I did get a book of poetry published once, long while back. Did scrawl out about 90,000 words of a horror novel first draft. The medium I had it stored on got misplaced with us moving here or there, or it became unreadable. Besides the media issue with that manuscript, the story needed a full rewrite & I felt that I could not do that while keeping it the same story. My wife is an impatient first reader and for her there were a dozen too many plot holes on page one to keep reading. She didn't understand that the story had to tell itself, as it was read. Or maybe I didn't understand I want an editor caught, seduced, bound, gagged in thirteen seconds on page one.

Poets, we try to economize or spare words. Novelists, my goodness they sling a big old sloppy mess out there and then just piddle all day. At times that was a bit of toe stubbing experience for me. I got frustrated needing to use so many words when I could use two or three to cover say fifty. Another minor issue I struggle in is writing about smells, tastes. I really do not have a sense of smell, no olfactory nerves. My taste is then also very limited. I think maybe I know three basic flavors, well maybe four. Cooking for me is easy though, use texture but don't make stuff all fried up hard gristle. I'll put it in a slingshot to fight off the blue jays.

I keep hemming and hawing with a few ideas for a story or few. I am just not getting there. I come up to the point where I write then the (dum dum dum) question of death (dum dum dum) comes along. "So what," I ask myself, why should I bother, what makes this story unique from the hundreds of other stories about such and such? And I know if a writer cannot care about the story, no reader will either. Then, a defenestration frenzy sets in that is almost psychotic & I am a very mild tempered man ... but. Well, you know us quiet ones.

So, I am a writer but as far as of yet I'm not capable of stringing the words together to get a story to save my hide. Can spin all kind o' yarn though about how the WWE wrestling is a benefit to my wife weather she knows it or not. Tall tales? Sure, can weave those out too. Nearly have had some old hillbillies go out naughy hunting with me. It's akin to snipe hunting. *chuckles* But they plumb rearing to go a few. I think I'm a cross between Peter the Pan, Tom Sawyer, and a 1930's era hard core old school gangster without the fancy threads, just plain old wife beaters and jeans for me.

No, I don't beat my wife. She or I may say I do in jest but I never could raise a hand to her like that for quite a few reasons. One being I agree with The Duke , a man does not hit a woman. Another, I saw too much of that growing up and helpless to stop it, well except for one time. He started again later though. Maybe ought to, ... but there were reasons to not. I kept busy working firewood. *grins* I could split all day and night with a 16 pound maul, he'd go five minutes with it and it'd kill him. I was just a scrawny little boy. He was the 250 pound gorilla. Go figure. *grin*

Excuse me, Jack Webb is downstairs telling Raymond Burr that he will not prosecute the Juan guys for bunko rackets in bringing coffee. Mr. Burr on the other hand is smoothly explaining how the Juan guys are cut throats and murderous scum of the earth. Jack he needs the Juans to book another low down hyena that's running the pills, and is even more cut throat calling themselves "the Docs".

I need to, ...

Such a shame, that stream-of-consciousness would have to be beaten into submission to make a work "marketable," or interesting to others who weren't there in the grey matter when it all came barreling through...because the brilliance is the scarce thing, the art, and the organization into rules is nothing more than a task that could be done by an educated anyone, if the author could stand the pain.

It explains a lot that you've written poetry. You obviously have a talent for getting out of your own way.

Why worry, though, about the appreciation of other people? You know what's going on in there. :D Or if you don't, you will, once it's out there in front of you.

*looking at a Cheshire cat with a bit of apprehension, preponderance, in-trepidation*

This seems to be a dare, I think. Think I see where you're going and thank you. I do appreciate the effort and the notion that any educated monkey. *cough* person can put it to rules. Have oft thought of hiring an editor but lack the funding to do that, it would be why I would write to present for market, to get funds to keep going and hire an editor. I think I genuinely could work with an editor. Need that kind of discipline and loose structure. "You turn in X amount by next week. I'll have you galleys of the last three chapters then."

Once had a dream where William Gibson explained about having automatic guns that would shoot at him if he stopped typing on one of the many Remington type writers he kept strategically placed in his house for too long. he had to get permission from someone down the hall to use the bathroom, they would cut the guns off so he could go. He churned out a 60,00 word novella one day, it was ready the next morning, inclusive of revision. Then every morning after, another 60,000 words to hand in. I'd be lucky at this point to try getting 2,000 words a day without revision out. Although given what I do herein, it might get channeled over to closer to 4 to 5,000 words a day if I kept away from here a good bit. Yes, I tell on myself, I know. No point fibbing. Plain enough to see.

*stretches* Lemme think on it a bit. I loathe making promises as there's always life in the way & to vow to a challenge or dare would be a promise, lest for me it would be. I might give it a go but abstain from promising, of course you might have someone that doesn't care if I promise or not. I get them 5,000 words a day or they chew me a new one but good. Then, that becomes well that crazy four letter word, the terrible one .... work. I shall make haste to run away now. The Juan guys can have me in Bolivia in a blink. I shall, ...

Not a dare, just a feeble attempt at encouragement... :wave:

Those who can, do. Those who can't, encourage.

I'm nearly twenty years from my last visit from a muse.

:( Muses are terrible creatures, as is this "so what" beast. Muses can flee and laugh at you for chasing along firing an industrial staple gun at their robes to pin them down. Scarier still, you get one pinned and realize they're an incubus or succubus, there but act as harpies. The "so what" beast, ugh, it lances all five main sails right as you get underway. No more can you sing, "schooner, schooner sail me along on my way." No, your ship she sets in water as solid as concrete to go nowhere. You have to let the crew off for liberty. A mutiny of the imaginary crews is much worse than a mutiny of real crews. Why? Well, because they're imaginary, "all in your head" and so folks don't understand it when you get sad that first mate Victor refuses eating with you. "It's all in your head, get over it." "Well, d'uh, yeah ... doesn't make it any less hurtful than if you get upset over Dan Marino dropping a football."

Yes, thank you for encouraging. :) Even a dare would encourage. I think the muses are mad at me because I figure them out. They figure me out too.

"How do we torture that masochist," I heard a sharply dressed one ask a throng of others.

"Easy, we leave him alone and do not torture him," the reply came.

Which I've now, figured out their way to torture me. They'll have to find another way. bet I'll get funky dreams for a week.

"Look at all these stories we give you, but you don't write them, ..." they'll no doubt admonish me.

*sits looking at the puzzle, nodding, pondering but still nodding* Yes, music, need music.
