That's an awful story; I'm so sorry, honestly. No one loves their dentist, but I do; I wanted to call him on your behalf because I knew he'd be outraged.
So glad to hear the situation is resolving.
Not my business and totally OT but my dentist would not tolerate a patient being in toothache pain for over a week, much less 6. Are you getting proper care?
This is normal, that bowl is tiny :) Rinse and repeat, for sure.
DV taste will never match a high-end regulated convector; I used to be all DV all the time, then the ball vapes moved in...
