Drawer is full of assorted Vision Spinners and other accessories I have collected. Only mod I have or want is my Vamo. I used to carry it everywhere but have gotten to a point I use standard non VV Ego batteries when I am at work or out and about. I use spinners anytime I am in a "need a lanyard" situation lol. Pretty set up. This was taken a while ago have added a lot of liquids since lol.

I have found 60vg-40pg in 18mg nic to be my sweet spot although I really like the No PG Added liquids now that I learned how to modify my coils to handle the thickness and optimize performance.

When I think of a Provari for some reason I think of fly fishing lol. I fish a river here in East Tennessee where there are these guys that tie their own flies, have $400 waders, tie their own flies, and Sherlock Holmes hats covered with flies. Then there is me, cargo shorts, spinning rod, and a box of night crawler worms. We both catch fish, they just do it with a style. Thats what a Provari is to me personally.

Another Trimester (LOL) has passed and breezed past the 9 month smoke free point a couple days ago. I have been so tied up I have barely been on the forum lately. I am opening a new department at work that has kept me on the run but should be about a 25% increase in income over the next year so cheers to that! Either way, I barely have had time to eat lunch much-less browse VT at work all day lol. Just a couple things to share: 1. All my issues with "NO PG Added" liquids have been resolved by replacing the flavor wicks with a single piece of 2mm cotton yarn. Its a little more high maintenance since I have to replace the cotton every tank or two because it burns faster than silica but the flavor and vapor is wowtastic 2. I have gotten away completely from lugging my Vamo everywhere I go. I still love it but now I go into work with 2 full Davide Minis and a 1000mah and 400mah Ego style battery. So much more convenient to have the smaller unit in my front pocket. It has become my at home PV. While at the training class in Charlotte for the week I used them and realized there is not that bog a difference in the vape. I just top them off each night and have simplified things. 3. I am finding more and more places that are Vape Friendly. I was allowed to openly vape (in the bar area which is where I sit anyway) at Ruths Chris Steak House, Outback, Chilis, and in the lobby area of the Mariott where we stayed in Charlotte. I am seeing more and more e-cigs in the dealership and two of the people I hired for my new department came from the other place in town that already has the department I am opening and it was because they made them go off the property to vape-smoke. They treat it the same. I was able to hire their best two employees away simply by allowing them to work in a vape friendly environment. Pretty cool imo. 4. Go Seahawks! Anyway next stop is 1 year! Stoked to be smoke free!

WHOz HeaDeD 2 THe SuPeRBoWL?

I am catching a lot of flack from my boys pulling for the Seahawks because of Peyton Manning lol. I knew Peyton, and on a personal level, I didnt like him. Quick story. When I first met my wife I was in Grad school and she was a cocktail waitress at Harrys here in Knoxville, a high end Martini bar-restaurant. Peyton Manning and a couple other players were there. We had just started dating and I was sitting at the bar having a drink waiting on her to end her shift so we could go out. She told me she had Peyton and a couple players at a table and after that she was done. A few moments later she came back, visibly upset, and I asked her what happened. She said they ran a $240 tab total and left $1 on the table for a tip. She took it back to them as they left and gave it back and told them if they needed it that bad she would rather they just leave nothing. Peyton speaks up to say "It should be enough of a tip just to be able to serve us". Since that day, I have disliked Peyton. I cant take anything away from him for what he has done on the field and for the University of Tennessee, but personally in the dozen or so interactions I have had with him over the years he has had the same type of attitude. I know a lot of quasi famous people, especially athletes, and he is definitely the most smug of them all. Not only that, the Seahawks have a Vol on their roster too. Matter of fact, the University of Tennessee has more players in this Super Bowl than any other team. Again, Seahawks by 10. Book it. Peyton will throw 2-3 picks and the Seahawks defense will own the day! Most Players In Super Bowl XLVIII By College (Active Roster) Tennessee: 5 Wisconsin: 4 Arizona State: 3 California: 3 Florida: 3 Georgia: 3 Kentucky: 3 NC State: 3 San Diego State: 3 Texas A&M: 3 USC: 3 -
WHOz HeaDeD 2 THe SuPeRBoWL?

Spyder I know football. For the last 18 years I have been very involved with University of Tennessee football, watch most games from the field, have an all time all access pass to everything, and speak to the coaches and players on a regular basis. I provide vehicles for the entire athletic department to drive and was a student football assistant my last 3 years at UT and 2 years during Grad school as well. Arian Foster usually stays at my house when he is in town, we go way back. Al Wilson too, he is a great friend and a top 2 or 3 Middle Linebacker in UT history. Not bragging, just surprised to have my football knowledge questioned lol. Its the ONE sport I love, College Football. The rest are just time fillers for me. Just so you know, anyone that lines up behind the line of scrimmage on the defensive side of the ball is a defensive back because they are defense and playing from the backfield. This includes safeties, cornerbacks, and linebackers playing off the line. My wife, Arian, and I headed to last years Spring Game Seats arent bad, my son Brody loves them! Arian being Arian during pre-game warmups -

I wonder if anyone feels differently now that they know what Sherman said to him during the exchange at the end of the game? He said "Good Game" and attempted to shake Crabtrees hand only to be slapped. Geez he is a football player not a philosopher. Show me a defensive back without attitude and ego and I will show you a mediocre player. With that said GO HAWKS! -

Denver and Seattle with Seattle winning. Not a NFL fan in a huge way but a great friend is a Seahawks nut and I'm sort of caught up in it lol. -
I am super picky about my liquids. ECblends, VapeDudes and Fuzion are really the only three suppliers I have found that are consistent in flavor.

That's the (BS imo) video of Dekang. I tried it thinking it would be a good value but if that's all that were available I would probably be back smoking. Of the literally 100+ flavors I have tried Dekang is the bottom of the list. Literally awful imo

Kanger 1000 mAH batteries, non v/v!
bcartervol98 replied to fjs340's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I may vape less than others but have grown tired of lugging my Vamo to work so I have gone back to my 1000mah Ego non VV at work with a 400mah mini as a backup. I have yet to run the 1000mah dead in a 12 hour day and it was my first real battery and is 8 months old now. I just top it off each night. -
Have E-Cigs helped you quit smoking?
bcartervol98 replied to AdrianS's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Smoked a pack and a half a day for over 27 years and bought a few Njoy kings on April 23rd 2013 and that is also the last day I smoked a tobacco cigarette. Of course I have upgraded from the $7 disposables but that's where it started and smoking ended for me. Wasn't that hard for me really especially once I started looking at vaping as a nicotine replacement activity as opposed one that was to mirror what smoking was like. After a few days I knew I liked vaping better than smoking and the benefits financially, personally and health- quality of life wise have been mind boggling. -
Removing flavor wicks problem
bcartervol98 replied to bcartervol98's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I am finding even with the yarn I am burning the cotton and need to change it about every two tanks roughly. I got size 4 yarn and am using two of the four strands and that looks almost identical to the size of the silica wicks I am removing. Normal or am I doing something wrong? -

For me personally, any bowl season that both Alabama and Ohio State get owned is a great bowl season! My Vols will get there next year and the next, look out. -
Endless Summer with my new cotton flavor wicks yummy!

battery safety... is this safe ya think
bcartervol98 replied to hookahhighness's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I only use AW IMR 18650s in 2000mah. Convinced they are the best value and quality out there for a basic button top. -
whats ya fav or best tank?
bcartervol98 replied to hookahhighness's topic in General Vaping Discussion
KPT is a tank with rebuildable coils or you can just pop in a new one for around a buck. -
Well the T3S does, Pretty sure the MT3S does as well. I never used an Evod....too small.
-
Actually the easiest way would be the capacity. If it says 2.5ml its a T3 or T3S and if it says 1.6ml its an Evod. There is also a MT3S that is a 2.5ml tank that looks like an Evod but is actually just a T3S wrapped in metal.

bcartervol98 replied to hookahhighness's topic in General Vaping Discussion
KPT 2 is #1 in my book having tried a lot. Keep in mind I only use plug and play attys, not rebuildables. Davide would be second and everything else way down the list.
