  1. I've been gone a long time. Just decided to hop back on. I've been alright and all over the world the past year. Currently using a cuboid and moonshot rta for my daily driver with a 10 wrap 22g 3mm ID build. Cloud setup in a limited edition brass The block and mxv4 with a 20g build I will not say what it's at.

  2. Well, let's see... after I pay State $20, and get my $4 refund from Uncle Sam... yep, I'm in the hole....

    I'm one of those that adjust my W-4 a couple times a year, so I DON'T give the government an "annual interest-free loan" of MY money :)

    However, I will be picking up a second IPV-mini and probably an asMODus Colossal in the very near future... as well as another Russian 91% and Kayfun V4. I'm really loving the small box-mods and RTA combo!

    Isn't it amazing at all the rate this industry is growing. Something out there for just about everyone. Like being a kid in a toy store all over again

  3. I enjoy fixing computers and coding operating systems, doesn't mean I need to know about my nicotine replacement device works down to the nickle plated wiring. I just want to know why it burns like **** and can't take a drag from it.

    I'll break it down crayon drawing style for you...your device produces more power than stated....that means more heat for the coil you are using. Get a higher ohm coil

  4. voltage devices with Chinese origins often have a menu option that allows the user to switch between RMS and MEAN (or AVG) options. Which should you choose, and why? I'm no electrical engineer, so I can really only give you an overview of the engineering involved. What I can tell you is that RMS should be your choice.

    Let's start with the an explanation of why the RMS/Mean option is included in the first place. Many variable voltage devices use pulse width modulation (PWM) circuitry to deliver power. That's how we can get a 6 volt output from a 3.7volt battery. The power essentially goes on and off rapidly and looks like a wave on an oscilloscope.

    The VMAX and early versions of the ZMAX used this pulse width modulation, but used MEAN or AVG to measure and adjust the output. Because this method does not take into account the “off” time in PWM, the actual power output was often much higher than what the device was set to. You can set a VMAX to 4 volts and get output closer to 5 volts. It's a great way to burn a cartomizer if you're not careful.

    Later versions of the ZMAX have been referred to as having the “8th menu option,” which signifies the ability to switch the device between RMS and Mean. RMS measures the output much more accurately and will provide a much more consistent vape. Quite frankly, there is no reason to switch back to MEAN and it's curious why that would even be included as an option. It's like giving a driver a choice of an accurate speedometer or one that reads 10mph too low.

    So the short answer is that RMS is the easy choice. The question really is why were we given that choice in the first place?http://vapingguides.com/blog/2013/08/rms-and-mean/

  5. It is really common around here. My wife, who is Hispanic calls it "cheek meat" for us white guys. I have not eaten it many times, but it reminded me of roast beef.

    The small town I live in is probably 80 percent Hispanic and 20 percent hillbilly and we do have many unique dishes. We have a large population of semi-legal people from Mexico, it is a different culinary culture. Normal stuff during the summer it is goat roasts, calf fries, shrimp/crawdad boils and regular barbeques. I am not too adventurous myself.

    I eat alot of this food due to the guys I work with. Most of them are from the valley and all Texas. I know when we go to another state we always try and find goats for the start of a new job BBQ. Baby goat is some good stuff. The VIP mascot is yummy lol
