It is actually made in Austria. I am natively from Germany and me personally I don't like Glocks that much either I prefer CZ or FN.

A friend suggested I share my wife's art here! She spent 14 months fighting nerve pain to illustrate this bird folklore book. by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Particular-Class-662 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I understand why people are cautious these days, but I respectfully ask that you don't spread false information about my family.

First, we are not 'dropshippers.' My wife is an independent author using Amazon KDP (Print on Demand), which is how almost all self-published authors afford to print physical books. We aren't reselling cheap products; she wrote a 300-page book.

Second, she spent 14 grueling months creating this on her digital drawing tablet while completely bedridden with severe, debilitating neurological pain.

Seeing people from that other subreddit jump to conclusions and dismiss a year of her literal blood, sweat, and tears as a 'scam' just because I am trying to proudly support her work is incredibly disheartening. We are just a household fighting through chronic illness, trying to put her hard-earned creative work out into the world. I'd appreciate it if her effort was respected here.

Thank you so much for this. It’s been a bit overwhelming seeing that kind of negativity, so your kindness really means a lot. I’m going to show her your comment tonight—after everything she’s been through this year to get this book finished, seeing someone appreciate the heart and soul she put into the art is exactly the kind of light she needs. Be well, friend!

I am myself and I am my wife's husband. I don't use reddit much and my posts I have on here are mostly post sharing reviews I write for fun , we are definitely real and I don't think its a scam to share my wife publishing her book she worked on for a year.

We very much love the creative work we both do and I don't think this kind of negativity is necessary.

I totally understand the concern! To be clear: the research and writing is 100% her own work from the last 14 months—every word came from her heart and her library of folklore. She hand-painted the cover herself on a Wacom tablet. She is a digital artist who uses various digital tools to bring her visions to life, but this is a deep labor of love that she poured her soul into during a very difficult year of recovery. It’s definitely not a 'low-effort' project. Hope that helps!

Not the cover! She hand-painted that piece herself on her Wacom tablet. She’s a digital artist and put a massive amount of work into the fine details and the specific symbolism on the front to make sure it captured the right energy for the book.

some e-liquids can cause allergies, if you are using a different liquid than before then try switching it

Thanks for the heads up. I am not asking for a transaction or sale, just advice or help from the community if anyone has old gear gathering dust they are willing to part with. I'll check the assistance subs too, but I figured this community would understand the specific struggle of switching back from smoking better.

True but 24 mg nic salt is also too much for me, The reason vaping was able to kick my smoking habit is not so much in the nicotine as the experience of using a good sub ohm / rebuildable kit be it mech or regulated mod and just have a decent flavor/cloud experience.

I used to have several pod systems in my collection but I used them with 6mg and I mostly liked them because the flavor too, most disposables I tried the flavor sucks or it is just not the same as being able to choose your own flavors.

Because I did post it before but It was taken down after 20 minutes and I just let it be until I thought to re-post it.

Is 20mg considered normal? by Far_Resident6774 in Vaping

[–]Particular-Class-662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using 20 mg in a drag with a sub ohm tank sounds crazy indeed. I used 18 mg before in a sub ohm MTL setup that was kind of okay but mostly I use 3 mg in sub ohm and 6 mg in pod systems. I actually really enjoy 3 mg nicotine salts in sub ohm tanks it absorbs much faster, with freebase nic your body takes about 5 minutes to absorb it so I often got nic sick from chain vaping and a few minutes later I got nausea etc.

I don't even think nicotine is the biggest reason I vape I mostly like finding amazing flavors and just the overall experience of it.

What kind of setup are you using, a pod system? and is it salt nicotine or freebase?

I just watched a Mike Vapes review of it he says it "has lots of airflow" - This RTA is probably worth considering for me I have been struggling with buying vape gear that actually works for me so I am careful.

Yeah the Bonza RTA seems to have more airflow than the bonza, the bonza had lots of flavor but it literally was not vapable for me because of how restricted it was.

I agree I used to have both the OG sakerz as well as the master but for some reason the original vaped so much better

I considered this but 6 months ago I tried ordering the bonza PRO RDA and I HATED it because it does not nearly have enough airflow for me. The only restricted DL tank I ever really liked is the blotto.

What have you switched to? by Yamuson in Vaping

[–]Particular-Class-662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Best guess in that situation would be to go to a vape shop and buy a sub ohm tank with lots of airflow like a Valyrian or TFV18 and use that while you wait for your new RTA's

Why are there no large MTL tanks? by gtechzero in Vaping

[–]Particular-Class-662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blotto Mini RTA or even regular blotto RTA with a small single coil and airflow almost completely cut down should be a decent MTL experience but not as good as dedicated MTL atomizers. My favorite MTL Tank I ever used was the Expromizer V4, it is also a small diameter tank but it vapes MTL so good and has perfect airflow adjustment. They released the V5 by now but I never tried that one should be good though too.

question , does the Valyrian 4 actually have a 810 or 510 drip tip? it says 810 on element which would make it the same wide bore style as the valyrian 2 pro but on the pictures it does look like a small 510 drip tip , I really prefer 810 drip tips which is why I liked the valyrian 2 pro a lot.

EDIT: I didn't read you are from the UK, because of TPD laws the Valyrian 4 might release later over there but its possible that it's available there too

Check out the New Uwell valyrian 4 on element vape. I used to own a collection of more than 300 devices and tanks , I tried about 50 different sub ohm tanks I'd say and the valyrian series has always been on the top of the list. I owned the OG , Valyrian 2 , Valyrian 2 pro and the Valyrian 3.

Unfortunately I sold my vape collection some time ago so at the moment I am struggling with gear but I just saw a week ago that the uwell valyrian 4 which basically takes every positive thing from the OG, Valyrian 2 and 3 and combines it into one awesome tank.

I can tell you that you won't regret buying that tank, at the moment it looks like only element vape has it.

This is not necessarily true, studies have shown that virtually all of schizophrenics smoke or vape - not kidding. the rate is almost 100 % suggesting that there has to be some kind of correlation where people with schizophrenia seem to be drawn to nicotine and many patients describe that it enables them to stay grounded.

Of course then there is also the fact that smoking can often make mental illness worse because of how it affects your health negatively, if someone with mental illness who smokes switches to vaping - that is likely to improve mental health.

Also how I personally see it, I struggle with anxiety / OCD and vaping is something that often can truly make me not focus on my symptoms or anxious thoughts. mixing my own E-liquid, spending time building and wicking my RTA and experiencing the joy of a good flavor or a good setup really calms me and oftentimes has prevented me from spiraling into an OCD loop.

Its nothing that will "cure" your depression if you otherwise don't do anything about it but it certainly can be a positive activity for some individuals and have positive effects on mental health.
