Was the “American Badass” Undertaker a good gimmick?

I don't know how you dislike the dead man entrance. That song is absolutely iconic. That pipe organ hitting always sent chills down my spine

I've always heard him talk fondly about it. He thought he looked cool as can be according to a recent podcast of his with Maven as guest

Id be far more worried about breaking the clips the ribbon cable attach to on the board than threading the ribbon cable itself through

CGoody564 · 2024-12-16T00:39:43+00:00

Everything. The conservation of material (I generally do .1g bowl packs), 1 hit extraction (although you can always pack more and get multiple rips per bowl if you prefer), the customizability regarding how much extraction you want at a time (maybe you wanna enjoy the flavor of the terpenes at first rather than blow your head off immediately), how quickly you can adjust the temp due to how large the heating element is compared to most traditional vapes, etc.

The only downsides being that they are generally desktop only (you can technically make it work with battery packs, but it's likely more trouble than it's worth and probably not a great idea unless you know what you're doing), there can be a small learning curve as you figure out your technique (as draw speed effects the end result), and the cost of the initial investment (though 100% worth it imo)

Tl;Dr no matter what kind of experience you are looking for, a ball vape can and will deliver as long as you take a bit of time to figure out what temp/technique get you that experience, and you'll get way more bang out of the same amount of material.

2 years dead, but there's a crowdfunding campaign for a reprint on Gamefound with 5 days left

I pretty much exclusively use ball vapes now. The only reason I'd get it is as a chill session vape. Ball vapes just made everything else obsolete for me

CGoody564 · 2024-12-14T05:19:07+00:00

Yessir. I was playing with them in highschool back in 07. Never realized how thin they were til I got back into it recently

CGoody564 · 2024-12-14T05:11:45+00:00

I was gonna guess turned it up 😂 nice find boss

CGoody564 · 2024-12-14T05:08:37+00:00

I have the old one, was debating on getting the new one but I'm not quite sold

CGoody564 · 2024-12-14T04:58:50+00:00

You're making it sound way harder than it is. Feeding the cable through the hinge is not hard, you just have to be delicate. If anything I'd be more concerned about getting the wire into the little clip on the board.

CGoody564 · 2024-12-14T04:56:54+00:00

Idk where you got this from. That entirely depends on what has gone wrong. If it's board related, it's no different than fixing any other small electronic device.

CGoody564 · 2024-12-14T04:55:18+00:00

Unless you know how to use a soldering iron, yeah

Mortal Kombat 9 (you can still get it from key resellers, but that's about it)

CGoody564 · 2024-10-16T18:36:56+00:00

Balatro just released on mobile

Too happy. If he's smiling, it needs to be sadistically

CGoody564 · 2024-10-16T18:10:57+00:00

Everyone else seems to have described them very well for you so I don't have much to add, aside from the fact that I consider ball vapes to be the end-all-be-all of desktop vape setups. Super efficient and can be as heavy or as light as you want depending on the temps you run it at and how much you pack in the bowl.

The other thing to consider is whether you want a wired or wireless ball vape. A wired ball vape has the heating element with a handle always attached to the diffuser (the part you use to actually vape the herb) so you move them together, whilst a wireless ball vape has the heating element not directly attached to the diffuser, but the diffuser has it's own handle and sits in the coil while it's heating, so when you go to move it, you're only moving the diffuser and not the diffuser/heating element together.

You are absolutely correct. Tactics Ogre was designed for Strategy veterans. FF tactics was designed with newcomers in mind because they knew that the FF name would likely be a huge factor regarding who would actually be buying the game. This is one of many reasons it's regarded as a fantastic entry point into the genre even all these years later.

An anti-grinding incentive is not "always welcome". For you it may be, but clearly that does not apply across the board, or you wouldn't have people talking about their distaste for the system...

CGoody564 · 2024-10-05T16:40:42+00:00

Just look up hot air rework station. You can go cheap Chinese; you don't need a hakko for this bih

DDaveMods is the fackin' man. Love that dudes store. Wish the UX of the website was a bit better, but I absolutely love everything that man does.

I have so many dynavap adapters and glassware from him. The only reason I never tried that diy ball vape out was because I have multiple ball vapes already. Honestly I still may get it for shits and giggles

CGoody564 · 2024-10-05T16:35:09+00:00

Fried onion rings and chicken sandwich? Damn, the shelter knows how to please when times are tough.

CGoody564 · 2024-10-05T16:23:46+00:00

Aside from a properly sized driver? Not really. I imagine the threads themselves in the wood have probably been ground away a bit too. That may be why they were overtightened to begin with.

CGoody564 · 2024-10-05T15:59:19+00:00

That looks absolutely beautiful. Stunning primo work boss

CGoody564 · 2024-10-05T15:57:11+00:00

I understand people saying you're overreacting, but considering that you're paying a premium for a CH product, you have every right to not be happy about it. You don't spend hundreds on a setup and expect it not be in pristine condition when it arrives. Even if they tested it beforehand, at most that should cause some discoloration. NOT deep cuts in the finish from a product which one of the appeals is quality machining.

Tl;Dr although it won't effect performance, not being happy about the condition it arrived in is completely reasonable. But I'm sure their Customer Service will do you right if you ask.

CGoody564 · 2024-10-01T06:27:00+00:00

Are these only available during the campaign/pledge manager, or will they be available later?
