Thanks for the future welcoming! :giggle:

That is not awful pricing. I would assume base minimum wages are somewhat higher in these areas as well. OR or WA is more ideal for me. I don't believe I could handle everything that is required to live in Cali.

If I move there and keep my vehicles registered in Ky for a short while, then I wouldn't have to worry about smog or whatever test you guys do?

What has really started this was a local paper showed studies of health and cancer 'per capita' and OR was essentially the lowest, while Ky has the highest death rates. I would like to be in an area where a pack of Marlboro reds aren't 5$ flat. It would help me continue the no smoking.

The only good thing I can see from being on the east cost is what when games are released by dates and times, I obtain earlier access than most.

That or we change Latvia to R3vlia.

Well, ill bet you would be at home somewhere immediately north of vancouver.
Think longview, kelso, woodland.

We can never have too many bmw guys out here.

And also, try vaping? [emoji1]

The thought of me 'being at home' gives me a smile!
I will look into all of those areas!

I have tried vaping. I had a drip tank and that ruined it for me QUICK! Also, I didn't want to stop smoking at the time and quickly learned about something called popcorn lung.

Woodland does not really have apartments, fyi

Everytime i hear someone dismiss vaping because of 'popcorn lung' it makes me want to punch a kitten.
Do some serious research on what causes that and how many cases due to vaping have ever been recorded. Its such a crock.
If you are serious though, a smaller tank setup would always be better to start with in my experience.

Hmm weird. I actually looked into RIGHT AFTER that post. I thought I left a comment stating something about the fact that traditional cigs have higher levels of *insert that bad chemical name that originates from popcorn factories*
I was running a drip tank to a Smpl mod. So a single battery set-up. I have a nautilus tank I found the other day. How long can these sit?

The tank should be fine for starters but i would recommend a regulated mod instead of a mech just because you can adjust your voltage to better suit the coils in the tank. If the juice has been sitting in there a while i would prob change it out but if it tastes fine, whatev.

[HerbE30]

I thought I paired the Mad Hatter RDA to work fine with the SMPL. I thought I calculated this one day. haha. Because it's a 4 post, so 2 coils. Then I would have 6 clean wraps of coil to produce the proper ohm rating required?

Am I doing too much or too little for vaping?

Did you vape to stop smoking? Has it worked?

[Savagefurai]

It did help. I quit smoking about 9mos back with this and i cant recommend it enough.
I only recommend the regulated mod and tank setup because you said your current setup was a bit much. An unregulated mech with a dripper is going to work fine but its gonna make alot more vapor and thats not always whats best for starting out. The reg mod lets u have more options and is much easier to work with.

500-750 per month + utilities expected for a decent place?

That's about what I paid...

...in 1992.

One thing that's come up in the last 5 years- forget about shop space.
It's all condos and anti-car now. And bike lanes that very seldom have A bike in them.

Love the region. Not so much, how it's 'growing'...

I agree Toby.

It used to be more blue collar.

We didn't really have Liberal or Conservative back then, it was just people who did stuff our own way. Like in Portland, waterfront park and the beach cleanup..etc were actually spearheaded by republicans. But nobody cared back then. I believe Seattle was the same..

This is where Grunge came from. It was very blue collar, but also had that vibe of recycled fashion (army boots, flannel, old wedding dresses..etc.)

My wife and I were all part of that back in the day. The alt press, Church of Elvis, Satyrican..etc.

Now, the hipsters are like a Disneyland version. Too polished, to locked in to a specific style/viewpoint, and waaaay too expensive. Back then, fashion was about hitting the bins at Goodwill, and maybe if you were lucky Buffalo Exchange..

The shop issue is a problem for us lately.

The wife and I are hunting furiously for a place with a semblance of a shop to buy, but it's atrocious in this market.

What I pay for rent to have a house with a two car shop is very disheartening.

[e30austin]

I have completely given up on the idea of buying a house. Hopefully sometime in our lifetime, prices of things will come back down to a reasonable level, though I don't really foresee it happening.

No me neither. To further compound things, we are scheduled to go to Egypt within the next 60 days.

Looks like I may be out some money due to our Presidents late Friday EO.
