one of those days (rant)

adolf hamster · 30 Jun 2017 at 13:47

well, first time for everything on here.

[rant]
so, today has been a lovely day, first off yesterday the bloody rx200 dies, so now i'm down my daily mod for vaping and can't fix it without a soldering iron, which i don't have because i'm in germany.

then this morning, i have an exam with uni, and it's an absolute slaughter, i thought i was prepaired but my god was i wrong and it doesn't bode well for the rest to come which will make that one look like easy street.

and to cap it all off, turn my phone on after the exams over and, you guessed it, totally bricked, so now i'm stuck trying to deal with that crap too.

so, i'm doing what any sensible person would do and ranting to a bunch of strangers on the internet in the hope that the consolation/you think you have it bad stories of random strangers will bring some comfort [/rant]

I think you should check it...

i disagree....

forgot to mention in the op but the showers have been off limits for a week thanks to legionella in the water supply, although that's not quite so dramatic as everything happening at once.

Pray, god will bless you with good luck

I automatically assumed an rx200 was some kind of vehicle (perhaps a motorbike) but then I continue reading and discover it's vaping. My sympathy has vanished.

You need beer, lots of lovely beer!

adolf hamster · 30 Jun 2017 at 14:57

well, first glimmer of light, found my sigelei, forgot i'd brought it with me, don't even care that i've just killed any battery matching i had for the rx200 at least it works.

still not a good day, i've been finding myself packing up to go home even though i know damn well i can't for a long while yet.

Look on the bright side. Something far worse will happen later today, and those earlier things will seem trivial.

That would have been my suggestion!

I know it sucks mate, everything happens at once but it's not the end, just a momentary blip! Have a few drinks, good night kip and you'll feel better tomorrow!

I think that whole rant stems from a lack of 20 fags.
Go buy some, take up smoking.

The hell is this nonsense? On the brightside at least you're not dead.....are you?

Sounds to me like your lie would be 33% simpler if you didn't vape

My assumption is the rx200 takes 2 or 3 18650 batteries but I assume only has a single protected charge board so you need matching batteries so that one doesn't become unbalanced and cause problems. I'm assuming the sigelei is another vape thing that only uses 1 or 2 batteries.

I don't vape but know a little bit about 18650 batteries.

it would be, but right now it's the only thing i have that i can hold on to, everything else i care about is back home.

correct, i had 2 trio's matched for the rx200, by using just 2 from each to run the sigelei they're going to be unbalanced so if/when i do repair the rx200 i'll need to buy new batteries for it.

as for the suggestions for going back to smoking- i started vaping for a reason.

I know nothing about either vaping or 18650 batteries but I do know I now kind of want a cigarette.
