That's more like a fist and a half.

Not really a hand check but whoo, This was tough for me. You should see my setup ( to help with my hands) I have a vise thing to hold the drill taut and then a smaller one to keep the button on the drill pressed.......Ni80 staggered fused. if I take care of them though ( little cleaning now and then) they should last awhile. Of course, after I showed @bx10r mine, he showed me his! Big show off :giggle::giggle: His are gorgeous though.

Not half bad right? Good build quality for it's class, compact and performs good too.
Yup, sure does. I got mine used a while back, and it was filthy. Really bad. So I took it entirely apart to clean it all up, and I was impressed with the entire way it was built. Not sure if the bottle in mine is stock, but it's a good one. Super soft and no leaks. Only gripe for me is the locking mechanism, but I never use them anyway.

The lock does work, though if you mash on the button hard enough it will fire. I never use em either anyway.

If I had a couple really minor complaints, i think they could have gotten away with making it a coupla few mils narrower and rounded the edges a bit.

EDIT: Actually, now that I look at it, making the box any narrower would have made it impossible to fit 24mm rdas.

Hell ya man, lookin good! What happened with VA?
I'll try to make it short, but After my tax refund cleared the bank account I went to buy the VA. They use pay pal but also have an option to use another payment method. No matter what I tried it wouldn't accept the payment method. Not Pay Pal in any variation or even two other cards. Nothing. I tried all kinds of things. It was not Pay Pal or my bank causing the block so I can only assume it was some how VA. It took Signature Tips all of 30 seconds to accept payment through Pay Pal.

What's Funny is that my original plan was to buy an SQ 217 to replace one I'd sold, but then decided on getting a VA.

I just bought one, way too much talk about these damned things. I got a ss and clear cap for less than $20 bucks shipped. Thank you everyone for continuing to talk about those I had forgotten all about them.

They are amazing. I prefer them as a single coil as they get too hot for me as a dual.

I got Dinner Lady Cornflake Tart as a substitute in my order. Not bad at all :cool:

I mixed up an approximation of Cornflake Tart a couple months ago. Haven't tried it lately. Thanks for the reminder.

SQNKR. Sigh. :sad:

Didn't miss it. Just been using all the self restraint I can muster............. I would like to buy about 20 things in there.

The 3 in 1 setups were $30. Even I got one. It was a while back now.
Not that you need anything, Dub, with your collection!

I recognize two of those three plants as being present here as well. When I was a kid we lived in central Florida and had a gigantic hibiscus bush in our front yard. Its flowers were a delicate pink, and not as large as yours, but large nevertheless. The hydrangea is one of my favorite flowers, and before my mother passed away, the bush in her yard was nearly as tall as the eaves on her house. It was a lovely dark-ish purple blue.

I have heard from many different sources over the years that the color of the blooms on a hydrangea is influenced by the particular mineral composition of the soil where it grows.

Don't know why it surprises me that those plants are present in both places, but it does. Easy to forget, too, that you live in the southern hemisphere, in the opposite season from us. :)

Lovely pics, @robfisher , as always.
