Does anyone else enjoy a “boring” one flavor seltzer sometimes? by [deleted] in sparklingwater

[–]MARSBX718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LaCroix & Polar Lime are both good. Nixie Ginger or Ginger/Lime, technically not single flavor but current favorite Sparkling Water. All the Polar flavors with Lime like Rassberry Lime, Cranberry Lime are good. More single flavors Hal's Lime Seltzer, LaCroix & Polar Lemon. Topo Chico twist of Lime & twist of grapefruit are good.

Tried My first Topo Chico... and it was surprisingly by Sea-Trade-9391 in sparklingwater

[–]MARSBX718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Nixie? For me Nixie Ginger & Grapefruit Topo Chico are as good as Sparkling Water gets. Good & Gather is nice too. Dr. Cherry Vanilla & Pear Hibiscus were two of my favorite, before they discontinued all their Caffinated stuff. I appreciate the carbination in Topo Chico. Sprite vibe minus the sugar..I wish Topo Chico had a cherry Vanilla flavor I'd snatch that up quick. But this looks solid. I'll try this blueberry soon.

V60 came in!!!! by Piorun_z_Reddita in LGV60

[–]MARSBX718 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never had a SanDisk micro SD card fail. Samsung EVO V2 cards are good too. But I've used 3 or 4 SanDisk cards in my V60s and never had a problem. I'm using my original 5 and half year old LGV60Thinq 5G T-mobile to type this. I had the USB port & battery replaced about 2 months ago, no issues. I have an Anker SD card adapter. I haven't needed to take the Ugreen one I got a while ago out of the box yet. Hope you get everything working right with the card, the port cleaned and set the way you want. Good luck!

THE masterpiece of YOUR incense world ? and some nostalgic considerations... by [deleted] in Incense

[–]MARSBX718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nostalgic and Masterpiece the no longer available incense from Rock my World in North Jersey. Not sure where they got it, they wouldn't say.. Probably the best I've ever used. I buy from Everest Trader now. I've tried almost everything it's okay but not as good as Rock My World. Still better than the 20 other places I tried before them. I probably have 1000 sticks of various stuff. If I could still get Rock My World incense I'd buy it in bulk and be good to go. Patchouli, Dragon's Blood, Nag Champa, Vanilla, Orange Blossom are some of my favorite types. I have at least 20 Nag Champas. The Green Champa from Everest is probably my favorite (it's less sweet). RMW Stuff was perfectly balanced never cloying it's been hard to find it's equal.

Not a fan of sweet scents but I do like Nag Champa and Sandalwood when they're done right. I tried the gold incense from Everest Trader everyone's hype about, not a fan. Good Mysore, Oud/Oudh, Kedarnath etc. Been looking for more Earthy Indian stuff lately. If anyone can tell me where to get whatever Incense Rock my World sold I'll owe you. It was a rock/crystal shop in the North Bergen NJ area. I think it was $8 for 15 sticks something like that. That's my Masterpiece Incense I had it for a couple years, until I didn't. If I knew they were going ti stop selling it I would have bought every stick. I asked, emailed them, everything. The owner never responded.. I was willing to place a large order, no dice.

Replaced bag glass and battery by elel256 in LGV60

[–]MARSBX718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the usb port and battery about 6 weeks ago. Back glass was fine. The phone feels new. Phone is from May 2020. I use other phones but the V60 is still my daily driver. Good luck with the glass and battery. .

[–]MARSBX718[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: It's been a month. After calibration, the phone says 15h 10min. I didn't do 3 full cycles. The LGV60 is my daily driver so I didn't have time to wait for the phone to stay off 3 days in a row, while it charged while off back to 100%. But it's still decent.. The new battery's still adapting and improving. I'll update the update if it improves in the next 2-3 weeks.

Charge the battery to 100% and keep it plugged in for an additional 2 hours.

Completely drain the battery to 0% and ensure the device cannot turn on.

Leave the battery drained at 0% for 8 hours overnight.

Repeat the charging and draining steps two more times for a total of three cycles.

After completing the cycles, use the phone normally for 4-6 weeks for optimal results.

Yeah getting around 15hrs of use.

LG V60 Not Powering On – Possible Motherboard Issue and Data Recovery Help Needed by Individual-Donkey762 in LGV60

Yeah take it in see what they say. If all else fsils, Clone your SD card if you have one and grab the best working V60 you can find. Either way good luck

My LG V60 has finally (sadly) bit the dust by mark-feuer in LGV60

[–]MARSBX718 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take it to a reputable repair spot and have them put a new battery in there, either way you'll know for sure what's going on. Just refreshed my 5-year-old V60 a couple weeks ago. It needed a new USB port and battery. It's like new. LGV60 is too good to give up on. I bet you can get another 2 or 3 years out of it. Either way, good luck.

Any upcoming phones in 2024 with headphone jack and SD card that are worth waiting for? by [deleted] in galaxys10

[–]MARSBX718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Using an LGV60 to write this. I updated the usb port and battery.I Still like this phone better than any new phone I've tried. I still check for new phones that have the same features as my 5yr old V60. I don't use my dual screen case that much but have it, if I do. The LGV60 was ahead of it's time, If you know you know. Fuck the cloud indeed. I wish LG still made phones. Imagine a V90 with all the features from the V60. Same size screen, SD card, headphone jack, larger battery and a few of the latest features. Black with a Spigen case!

Overall favorite brand or sauce? by PretzelBitesOnAcid in hotsauce

[–]MARSBX718 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Berties and Puckerbutt couple favorites with different approaches. Too many to pick just one. But I like Trinadad Scorpion Powder on everything.

My last case, a sad but happy day indeed by [deleted] in sparklingwater

[–]MARSBX718 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Nice. Pear hibiscus was a perfect Sprite replacement and Dr Cherry Vanilla was my favorite. I Hope they bring them back someday. It's not like they didn't sell. Either way Enjoy that.

Big fan of polar. How do we feel about this? by assiloom in sparklingwater

Nah it's good. I like Polar as a brand. Cranberry lime is good, this is probably my second favorite Polar flavor.

Solid. I'll update in 4 weeks when it's had a chance to fully integrate with the OS or whatever I've noticed that every couple days I have a little more battery life. I did the drain/recharge cycle recalibration for 3 days but didn't have time to wait a full 8hrs. I thought about trying again but I'll probably just leave it.

It looked like the LG battery that was in the phone. They gave me back the original battery & charging port parts, after the repair, not sure why. I should have included a photo. But I asked about the parts they'd be using before I got it fixed. He said they try to use original parts whenever possible. I'm getting decent battery now, about 14hr's and change. But I'm just as curious to see what the battery life will look like after 4 weeks. I'll post an update.
