Might be the heat sink and the ceramic bulb, but yeah, I can see what you mean

I currently have three different e-liquids, Crocodile Tears (Strawberry Creamble), Golden Drops (Tasty Churros), SmokeNMist (Gorrilafied which is essentially Grape Lollipop apparently). I also did say I was going to post pics when yahoo decided to work, so yeah, that should be soon. There we go. A bit big, but still.

So, today, I started Vaping. What is vaping you ask? Well, it's a safer alternative to smoking, due to the fact that it lacks carcinogens and nicotine is optional. Vaping is short for "Vaporizing" because the e-cigarette uses an electrical current run through coils and on to cotton soaked with a special liquid (the vaporizer liquid, generally flavored/scented and can contain nicotine, but doesn't have to) that evaporates under the heat of the coils and you inhale it, tasting the vapor and you exhale it like smoking. This thread is for the discussion of vaping, posting pictures of your rigs, and recommendations for flavors/brands/etc. Today, when I went to the local vape shop with my friend, he helped me build my first rig, which I call "The Copper Kyogre". The reason being, the main mod of is called "The Penny Mod" which is a copper finish and has a recessed button on the bottom that's pressed to look like the tail end of a newer penny, and the tip has a blue ceramic orb that reminds me of the Blue Orb from Pokemon Sapphire, which in the game controlled the legendary pokemon Kyogre, so I decided to name it "The Copper Kyogre". I would post pictures, but my email isn't receiving messages from my phone for some reason, so I might upload pictures later. If anyone else here has interesting thoughts on the topic, feel free to post!

@@Hive King "EVERYONE! RETREAT! IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME, I'LL HOLD HER OFF!" William shouted to his forces that had remained. William grew spines out of the entire front half of his body to securely attach himself to Scarlet, as he charged to an empty area in order to minimize any more casualties. "DESTINY! BOND!" He screamed as the final bits of power ebbed from him and he slammed Scarlet in to the ground as he immolated and she incinerated, William offering his life to save those of his soldiers behind him. "I'll... see... you... in..." William huffed "hell..." he gasped, cursing the both of them with his final breath.

@@Hive King William took the hit, enduring the damage as he charged forward to Scarlet shouting "REVENGE!" as his arm began to glow, he swung as hard as he could, turning the damage he had taken in to a powerful attack. In order to compound the damage, he grew needles out of his arm and yelled "NEEDLE ARM!" as he brought down his arm on to Scarlet.

@@Hive King William was caught up in the gale, but used the wind to flip forwards and land upright, spinning quickly to face his foe. He started concentrating and slammed the ground, causing loose dirt and dust to fly up in a sandstorm to obscure him from sight. Growing up in a desert, he was used to these conditions and thus able to navigate within them. He then grew more non-venomous needles out of his hands to throw at Scarlet and shouted "THIS'LL PIN YOUR EYES OPEN!" as he spun around, throwing out a small cloud of needles in all directions to make sure he hit Scarlet, even if she was actually behind him this time.

@@Hive King William continued, despite the oncoming onslaught of insects and gas. "CONTINUE! THE FASTER WE GET THROUGH, THE LESS IT WILL AFFECT US!" He commanded, continuing the charge, despite the fact that some of the less courageous Gijinka fled. When he finally encountered the miasma, he raised his collar to cover the lower half of his face and tipped the brim of his hat down so as to keep the cloud out of his eyes. When he encountered the enemy forces, he pushed the spine covered arm in to one enemy soldier, piercing his heart and killing him instantly, and whipped their corpse off his arm as he deftly started slicing through the enemy light troopers, moving as though he were painting a large, invisible canvas with his blade as blood trailed from it's tip. He continued to slice through the crowd, making his way to Scarlet, until he encountered an empty area as the rest of his troops clashed with Scarlet's. He was effectively behind enemy lines now, something he was quite used to, however his back was rarely turned to the enemy forces in this situation, but due to the fact that they were all engaged in combat, he didn't care. "Scarlet, let's finish this here and now, shall we?" He said as he started growing poison needles out of his fingers. "Poison Sting!" William shouted, as he hurled the ten needles at his foe.

@@Hive King "Then Scarlet, if this is how it must end, then I pity you. For you shall meet your end to an army of Gijinkas, if not my own blade." William retorted. "Tonight, you join your sister, and hopefully you may find peace." He said, drawing his sword and issuing the charge as he grew some spines out of his off-arm to serve as a makeshift shield.

@@Hive King As William arrived at the battlefield with his troops behind him, he stood stock still, facing down Scarlet's army. He drew his sword and shouted "Scarlet, because we are both Gijinka, I am giving you the chance to back down right now. Should you choose to accept the terms of surrender, you will be allowed safe passage out. Should you choose not to surrender, you will not leave here alive. Of this I can guarentee you." William shouted.

@@Dji William nodded at Trixie, running out to rally as many troops as he could. He wasn't going to stay behind and order the troops though, he was going to fight and die alongside his soldiers. He went back to his tent and grabbed his leaf blade, a verdant katana which he attached to his belt and left. He arrived at the heavy corps battlefield. "ALL LIGHT TROOPS RETREAT! HEAVY TROOPS HOLD OFF THE HEAVY CORPS FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN! LIGHT TROOPS! FOLLOW ME!" He hollered as loud as he could, before he started marching towards the southern end of camp. He turned as soon as the troops he could manage to get together arrived and he spoke thus "Tonight, everyone, this war ends. Ribose has left to confront Viral for the final time. In her absence, I have decided to take charge, but I will not be staying behind the lines and ordering you around. No. Those of you who know me well enough will know that that's not my style. I will fight and die along side my soldiers in the fields. Whoever wins this conflict shall be the winners of the war as a whole, as no doubt the battle between our two leaders is going on now, and shall no doubt end any time now. If we want any chance of securing a decisive victory, we must fight for our lives. Ribose is quite capable of taking down Viral, that I am sure of, but in order to keep the war from lasting any longer, we must finish this here and now. Viral has mobilized his light troops as well and they are being led here by Scarlet now. We must eradicate their forces now, and end this war once and for all. We can do this, but we must work together. I will lead a direct charge to face the enemy head-on. Trixie, over there" He said, pointing at the Muk gijinka, "Will be leading our flanking forces. They will consist of Ground, poison, and dark types who can reliably dig, disguise themselves, or hide, respectively and attack from the rear. Everyone else, will charge ahead with me, and I will relay orders as need be on the field." William raised his sword and shouted "Soldiers! TONIGHT! WE DINE IN HELL!" The crowd erupted in to cheers of many shapes and sizes. "ONWARD!" He yelled, pointing the Leaf Blade out and marching towards the soon to be blood-spattered battlefield. --------------------------------------- @@Dji, @@Sinon Kachina was caught off guard when she was hit with the pot of potatoes, causing her to fall over, and start bleeding from the forehead. "Son of a..." She nearly cursed, rubbing her head, feeling the heat pool over her hand. She couldn't see Ai anywhere, but Blake seemed to be saying something about how she wouldn't get away so she didn't worry much. "Ugh....." She moaned. "Ok, you aren't doing any more cooking you little brat." Kachina growled. "Blake, if you could, make some vines that will handcuff her to the metal table so she won't get out. I need to visit the infirmary."

@@Dji William rolled off of Ribose as she flew off in the direction of Viral's base. He landed with an audible thud next to Trixie. He rubbed his head. "Ugh... Yeah, sure. We need to help out in whatever way we can. I'm not letting this end on Viral's terms." William replied. "We should probably stop by the field hospital first, I think we should probably heal up at least a bit, even if we can't fully recover." He said as he started walking towards the field hospital. William entered the field hospital, grabbed a couple of potions and healed himself and Trixie. Leaving the hospital, he noticed an attack coming on the horizon. "Trixie, get the troops together, leave the harder hitting forces to continue dealing with Viral's heavies, I told Ribose I didn't want to lead the army, but it's starting to look like I have to. I can direct the troops to fight the oncoming forces from the south. I'll need your help to get the orders out. We can do this. Tonight, we end this war." He said, determined.

@@Hive King William dove on to Ribose, against his better judgement, and started swatting the bugs off her, if not being able to kill them, at least trying to take their attacks himself, even though it would hurt him more, as he was Grass and Dark type, as opposed to pure Psychic. "It's ok! It's ok Madame, there are no more bugs on you! And while I imagine that just contributed a lot of rage to your fire, I'd suggest you go and find Viral to unleash it."

@@Hive King After recomposing himself after being shocked at Ribose's reaction, he stated "Then you will probably be happy to know that Viral is planning on attacking from behind soon." William coughed. "And while this may not be the best time, I like the look of the armor. Either way, he should be sending an attack from the south, which you will probably enjoy. I look forward to seeing you slaughter them." He said, grinning slightly.

@@Dji "Fair enough, I'll talk to her. This hasn't been her brightest hour recently, she's been having mental breakdowns and has been lashing out at people with no provocation." William elaborated. "I wish she would just accept my assistance and at the very least talk to me. I want to help her, but she's making it so difficult, thinking that any attempt to get her to let her guard down is an attempt at a coup. I just want to help her in any way I can, not only because she's my CO, but because I think I really like her. I don't want that to get in the way of the war effort, however, so I'm trying to keep that feeling pushed back for later, but it's getting hard when she's getting so unstable like this." He lamented. William sighed as they arrived at the camp. "Well, let's get to her then." @@Hive King William approached Ribose cautiously. "Madame? Are you there?" He asked warily. "I think I have some pertinent information for you regarding Viral's attack."

@@Dji "I'd assume I'd just report my suspicions. Though, given the way we parted last, it would probably be best if you reported to her." William replied. "Although, considering the fact that I'd be telling her I think that Viral is going to mount a second attack on another front, which would, if properly anticipated, result in us at least surviving this battle and showing her that I don't want to take over. When she pulled me aside, she accused me of trying to usurp her, which, not only would be impossible due to our vast difference in abilities, but isn't something I'd want to do anyways. I'm a strategist, not a leader." He said.

@@Dji William stood up shakily. "I think I'll join you." He replied. "Let's head out then." He said as he started moving towards the camp. ------------------------------------------------------------------ @@Sinon Kachina looked around for anything Ai could potentially use as an escape. "I'm not sure that putting her to work in the kitchen while most of the camp was away on a mission was a good idea. I mean there's so much she could get a hold of here. Knives, ingredients, chemicals to make more explosives."

@@Dji "Alright. Good to note." William replied. "I do think you should continue working on the acid though, it will definitely come in handy in the future as a weapon or escape mechanism." He suggested. "Now, we should probably get back to Ribose and see what's going on back at base. I get the sinking feeling that this isn't all Viral has in store for us."

@@Dji William shook his head, waking himself up from exhaustion and looked at Trixie. "Who?" He asked, tentatively. "Also, how did this acid idea work out? It seemed to me like a good idea considering the majority of the Heavy Corps are Steel types. I managed to trip up a few, but they noticed my roots and started cutting them. It felt like I was having my fingers cut off." He mentioned, shuddering slightly.

Yeah, without HoxHUD it's nowhere near the same. Especially since my group of 4 generally does only OVK and Death Wish, and you NEED HoxHUD on Death Wish to know how much time you have remaining for spawns during an assault. Like, you remember the parking garage that you had to lower the bollards for? Well imagine that on DEATH WISH where you have to pick one lock at a time going up with all four people, then camp in each one as an assault happens, then eventually find a skulldozer in the room at the top and have to take him out, then camp for the hacking, then run all the way back down. It's craziness. We never even finished Day 1, we got killed either at or before we told the driver to move after we lowered the bollards.

@@Sinon, @@Dji Kachina put down the knife and looked at Ai. "What are you planning? Like I said, I'm keeping an eye on you." She said, as she went back to the carrots, looking up every so often to look back at Ai. "I'm not feeling confident that you're going to stay put, so I think I'll just come over there and help you with those potatoes." Kachina said as she put the remaining carrots away and went over to Ai and started peeling potatoes with her.
