Thanks for the replies everyone. Coming here to the forum is like my therapy. It gives me peace of mind that I can talk about certain aspects of my job, because I can't really tell my wife some of the dangerous things and places that I go. That's just a no no and would just cause her more unnecessary stress. All of you are awesome.

I'm jealous Josh! My Magma is at home but my wife will have to bring it to me during our European vacation. Hopefully my Copper Viggo will get in as well (not to mention 500mg of juice and the recently released black edition Kayfun v3). I can't wait to try the magma out on the Viggo. Ahhhh the wait is killing me. You all think vape mail is slow.....try ordering something and not being able to get it for months....uhhh well I guess there is fasttech or slowtech whatever everyone is calling it these days

The Magma atop my Copper Nemmy

Ok. So, I finally got my hands on a Magma last week. Gotta say, I friggin love this thing! The only drawback I can see at this point, is the airflow limitation. I'd like a little more airflow, but the vertical holes in the deck are positioned so close to the inside edge, that I feel I'd just wind up ruining the dam thing by trying to drill em bigger.
But all in all, it's a kickazz little dripper! I can fill it up and vape away for quite a good while before needing to reapply. I recommend this atty to anyone wanting an easy to use RDA but doesn't wanna have to redrip every 3rd or 4th pull.

Just stay safe and Thank You for your dedicated service! Enjoy your Family time it is, as I'm sure you know, the most important thing in life.

Stay safe, congrats on requalification and the marathon.

Have a great time w your family.

Good to hear from you dragonG. Be safe and best wishes

So good to "see" you again! I'm glad to hear you're safe despite the places you've been. Hope you enjoy the much deserved time with your family and congrats on the improving fitness.

Thanks for all you are doing for our country Dragongunner. My dad is a retired Lt. Col in the Army. 32 years of service so I respect you guys so very much. I have a plenty stock up of juices so if you ever are in need because you cannot get any juice let me know and I will send you some. Do they allow you to get this type of stuff over there where you are? Thanks again for all you do.

Stay safe over there I spent 2 years in that litter box was in Ramadi, Fallujah, Baghdad, and Haditha from 2003-2004 then 2005-2006

I'm sitting here in my room in Baghdad, Iraq tonight really missing my wife and 6yr old son. I've been in country since March 23rd and although its only been a little over 2 months it feels like a lifetime.

A lot has happened over the past 2 months. I've taken two helo flights to Basra (a butt numbing 3 1/2 hour flight from the Baghdad Green Zone) The second trip was pretty exciting as I had to escort my VIP to election polling sites for Iraq's first solo primary elections. Although the elections went down without a problem, violence is now spreading due to the results. Truth be told I'm just ecstatic that none of our teams were targeted.

A few weeks ago I had the rare but dangerous opportunity to visit a flooded area in the town Abu Gharib which is just a few km's away from Fallujah (twice, as if once was not enough). Al Qaida is currently fighting the Gov't forces and has full control of Fallujah, Ramadi and most of Abu Gharib. Al Qaida blew up a dam and everything within a 15-20km radius is mostly under water.

On a lighter note I just successfully completed my 10 day weapons and fitness re-qualification for the year. It was fun but the heat at times was almost unbearable, 104-110 degrees.

My fitness level (thanks to vaping) has really increased in the past 2 months. I have completed a 1/2 marathon (sorry treadmill, too dangerous to run outdoors) in under 2 hours and am now working on getting my 10km run under 45 min (currently at 48 min). It's great to feel healthy again.

My countdown to reuniting with my family has begun. On June 14th I get to leave for a quick but much needed 7 day break to meet up with my family in Europe who will be on vacation. I'm not too worried about it being short because come August 1st I plan on traveling back to the US to meet them there for a nice long 1 month break. I'm so looking forward to that time off.

Anyways I just thought that I would share my recent experiences. Just so you all know I'm not in the military but work as a Dignitary Protection Officer for the United Nations. My military and police days are long past, but my sense of service is still very strong within me (I guess for many of us it's just all we know). Everything I've mentioned above has been made public via the United Nations.

Take care and have a great day.

A quote from my father:

"Stay safe. And if you can't, let them see hell in your eyes, with no prayer on their lips".

OMG! Your brother was very lucky. I'm glad he had the good sense to call you. Many of these staff who build are just newb builders themselves and have no clue about safety. They just want the sell.

I just ordered the Copper Viggo mod by VapeJam. I hope it arrives before my wife leaves for Europe where we will meet this summer. I'm really excited about this mod.

I'm vaping a twisted 28ga kanthal parallel coil build 6/7 wrap for .3 ohms. She's not pretty but damn flavors and vapor are none that I've experienced yet. I put her in a trident clone and had to really fight to get the wires to fit (almost gave up but so glad that I didn't). Now just waiting on my new magma rda from Paradigm mods to try out some builds (its at the house but my wife will bring it to Europe when we meet for a quick vacation).

I run 30-40 km a week on a treadmill (can't run outside in Baghdad) along with other mind numbing high cardio activities (stair climber / rowing machine) in the gym and vaping has not hampered my cardio at all (and I vape like a work horse).

I should have paid more attention in electronics shop in HS. If I try this at home you will see Tampa looking like a post apocalyptic wasteland.

I wouldn't say my wife allows me because I never asked her permission. It's my house as well, but that being said she has never said that she prefers me to vape outdoors. Kids, no kids, or guests or pets I vape as I wish.

I've owned the V3 Tronix Flip for about 3 months and love it. I use it daily with a kick 2 and a Russian 91%. It is one tough mod. It goes on all of my red zone missions in Baghdad and never once has it let me down. If you buy this mod I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Congrats noob
