Thanks very much Edwyn for taking the precious time to provide further enlightenment on various rig options. It is clear that many more rigs will come into favour, as a community I can see us discover more and more great FP models which will be fun.
@pxl_jockey - yes my friend I do have my Flowerpot complete setup as of this week. Im so sorry everyone for not being more forthcoming with details. I have gotten into a very dark place mentally at the moment and have not felt any joy or positivity, more like despair.
So I have not wanted to share something so positive until I am feeling that way. However you have asked me so I will spill:
5 parcels arrived this week. One direct from Newvape on monday, the controller on tuesday courtesy of
@emmdeemo - with a super kind heart, having come into possession of several controllers after fixing a broken one- he so generously offered me it for nothing to help get the ball rolling....
I insisted on meeting him roughly in the middle with as much as I had spare, the least he deserves. Thanks again
@emmdeemo (did I say that already?
)
And to my surprise, my 2 glass rigs from Dhgate also arrived tuesday, a week sooner than I expected.
And finally yesterday, a glass 14/18 mm reducer!
Emmdeemo's initial offer is what put the Flowerpot within financial reach initially. I then pm'd Edwyn with a few basic queries to clarify a few things. I was honoured and touched with the warmth and sincere helpfulness of his replies to me.
It felt like my personal happiness really mattered to him and he couldn't have been more helpful in a friendlier manner. I immediately felt compelled to join the club to be on the inside of this great community sooner than later, particularly due to the warm feelings I had from my first direct personal contact with Edwyn.
I also had some timely good fortune as a friend FINALLY paid me for my large Verdamper vaporizer I sold (or gave) him last year! So I didn't need to wait for my Aromed to sell and was set to go!
The customer service I received placing my order was top notch- all queries answered and I felt genuine care and compassion from both Edwyn and Lori processing, shipping the order and keeping me informed.
I really felt good about investing my money in these good people (who just happen to run a fantastic business without losing their human qualities one iota).
And the rest is history! I had just enough left over for 2 Dhgate bubblers (FC 186 and the 14 mm male black Toro bubbler on Newvape's site).
It all came together like a dream! I have not used it yet. Today I soaked parts in ISO. As I said though I have gotten into a dismal mental state, severely depressed and exhausted- none of which I wanted to share, waiting to feel positive again before sharing with you all.
Tensions at home with my mum have also hit the roof- due to my severe depression I am a miserable person to live with and there are some huge cracks in our relationship.
Today is actually my first day with no cannabis for several months- always edibles on vapor breaks. I feel that I need a short T-break to let the dust settle and allow peace to return, and physical rest and recovery.
I want my experience of the Flowerpot to be positive all the way. The excitement I have felt following this thread for months and the joy after my contact with Edwyn himself..i need to wait for those good vibes to return again now to begin actual usage!
I will save the minor details for later and a better moment. You will also see a change in me here in the forum from this moment on- I am conscious of my constant "inappropriateness" here and this will change now I swear.
So sorry to those good folk of you who I am sure I have irritated who rightly come here to learn about VAPORIZERS, and not my crazy upside down life.
And thank you for your tolerance.
New me now- still a joke and bite of philosophy for sure, don't fret!
I need really to retreat within and find some light again, and try to heal my home living situation before I am out on the streets (or worse).
Hold in there gang, I will be back, renewed, re-invented. Sorry for the negativity, big love to all, especially Edwyn and Lori for the sheer heart they put into everything they do, which I hope more folks will see with increasing clarity as time goes on.
