Velocity RDA Clone Review

I've had the Velocity RDA clone for a few weeks now so I figured its time for a review.

First off my setup:

Sigelei 100W+ regulated box mod
Sony VTC5 Batteries
Velocity RDA Clone by Tobeco
Dual macro coils, .2ohms @ 70 watts

   So after hearing all the hype about this RDA I decided to put the Darkhorse aside and try this thing out. This is my 17th RDA which have all been clones and I was legitimately going to buy my first authentic RDA with this Velocity but they were out of stock for awhile. Alas, the clone it is. I got my clone from ecigcity for about $22 shipped.

First impressions:

   Building on this thing is the easiest I have ever had. The posts being on the sidea with the large holes for the wire are amazing. Huge gap in between the posts makes positioning the coil very easy and is great for airflow.

   It has a massive juice well and easily the largest on an RDA I have ever had. I had to leave my cotton tails much longer before cutting them in order to appropriately have enough wicking material down in the huge juice well. Definitely a plus.

   Easily the best airflow versatility of any RDA I have ever owned. Between the large side air holes that are adjustable and the smaller multiple holes that you can easily close off or open, this thing has air flow down. I can have it wide open for massive clouds or easily close them off to get the flavor. Top notch air flow.

   Flavor. Like stated earlier the flavor depends on airflow but its very easy to set this thing up for flavor.

   The huge drip tip that comes with it is just big enough that you can drip through it instead of having to take the top cap off, but not overly large. I do wish that it was a little bit longer but this may just be a fault of the clone design.

   It has a notch on the top cap and a tab on the lower base. This does two things. One it makes it so your air holes are always properly lined up over your coil. Secondly, it holds the RDA in place whenever you are adjusting airflow so you don't accidentally unscrew it from your mod. Really great addition and I can see it becoming a standard for other RDA's.

Now the downsides:

   I'm not sure why but for some reason it constantly leaks out of the smaller secondary air holes. At first I thought I was dripping too much juice inside, or maybe my coil/cotton setup was causing it but after multiple builds and dripping cautiously it for some reason continuously leaks juice out of those holes. It isn't because of angle or the way it sits in my pocket, just standard vaping. I thought that maybe it was because of condensation over time but it still does it right after I have cleaned it out. Still trying to figure out why it does this but its highly annoying having to wipe the outside of this thing every 4-5 pulls.

Would I buy an authentic:

   This RDA is definitely the best one I have owned on multiple facets. The leaky side holes, while annoying, isn't a make or break deal for me. Everything thing else about the Velocity is not just top notch as well as standard setting in my eyes. I would absolutely drop the $115 to make this my first authentic RDA if they ever had any in stock.

Toying with bringing this back

Thoughts?

Why should public school be free when community college isn't?

 So after you are done with high school, if you want to continue school you gotta pay.

My Take:

This can be looked at in a simple, fast way, or more in depth. Lets do both.

Simple way:

If public school wasn't free and even if it was very cheap probably more than half of the kids in school now wouldn't be in school. At all. God forbid your kids get an education at the cost of some money. While a lot of parents would just refuse to pay, some also wouldn't actually be able to pay for it.

In depth:

So its a standard thing in our nation. Everyone knows it and how it works. You start kindergarten and are in school from then until you graduate high school. This is a given for everyone. Why? Well one because you are required to go. If the government is going to pay for you to go to school, well you better go to school. And why not anyways? Its free, you learn shit, you get to meet people and make friends all for the price of $0.00.

So what if it wasn't free? What if the government charged a yearly fee for your kid to go to school? Would you pay it? What if it was $100 per year? What if it was $500 per year? This I think all depends on income of the family. Is $500 a year actually alot of money for an ENTIRE year of schooling? Not at all. What if you have 4 kids? Little more expensive now. So lets look at three different examples assuming that the yearly cost for school is $500.

Example One:

Middle class family that makes $65000 a year and has one kid. $500 a year? No problem. That's hardly anything for your child to go to school for an entire year.

Example Two:

Same family with the same income but with 4 kids. Now were talking about $2000 a year for your kids to get an education. Yes, definitely more expensive but $2000 over a years time really isn't much money. Just give up your daily Starbucks coffee for a year and that's around $1400 right there. Education > Coffee.

Example Three:

Lower class family that is struggling to get by and has two kids. $1000 a year? Hell ya that's alot of money when you are barely making it already. HOWEVER, knowing our lame ass country we will make a "welfare" version of education that will lower the price. So say our government lowers it for the less "fortunate" and make it only $200 a year per kid. So now you are looking at only $400 per year for both of your kids to get an education. Definitely doable.

I think that there is a different underlying problem though, and that problem is parents unwillingness to sacrifice for their kids. While alot of parents have no issue sacrificing to better their kids future, alot of parents also wont. A lot of parents don't care how their kids do in school. Don't care to help with homework, or go to after school activities. Some don't even care if their kids go to school at all. I personally think that these types of parents are PROBABLY in the lower class also because of their lack of give a shit.

So what happens when you then require parents to pay for their kids to go to public school? I can guarantee you that you are going to see alot less kids in school because god forbid you have to come up with a few hundred dollars to provide an education for your kid. Lord knows you cant do without that coffee, cigarettes, or pick a random crutch that you HAVE to have in order to live life.

I personally think that the parents should pay their children's teachers, on top of what they already make. If your kid goes through the 2nd grade and makes it to the 3rd grade, and he/she learned over that year, you should pay that teacher an extra $500 out of your pocket. I think that is totally worth it. Not to mention teachers are heavily underpaid anyways. Think if a teacher had a class of 20 kids for a school year. That means that teacher will get an extra $10000 at the end of the year for doing a good job. Did your kid fail and have to repeat the 2nd grade? (assuming that your kid didn't fail because of missing school or something he/she did) the teacher doesn't get that $500 from you. That's a pretty good incentive and would probably also promote better teaching.

Protest at marine's funeral.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-10-06/church-s-funeral-protest-tests-free-speech-limits-at-u-s-supreme-court.html

I want you to read that article and feel the anger build up inside of you as you read more.

My Take:

 This is un-fucking-believable. Seriously what in the hell.

I am all for defending the constitution and upholding what our fathers wanted us to do. I completely understand that it gives us freedom of speech and freedom of religion. If you want to exercise both of those to the fullest because you have a big mouth or just really love your religion, I'm also cool with that. But this is just too far.

They aren't just protesting at this funeral, they are INSULTING everyone there with unbelievable signs stating that god is killing the troops. I don't know how the father of the deceased marine didn't go on a rampage and kill all of those people.

Lets try and take a look at it from the protesters perspective and try to make some sense of this.

(from here is me pretending and not how I actually feel)
So I am a devout catholic who was raised catholic and raised my family catholic.
I follow my religion fully and believe in it 100%. (Trying my best here)
I know, and the bible says, that homosexuality is not cool with God. In fact it is actually condemned and back in the day was punishable with death. God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Earl right?
So nowadays I follow Gods word and still believe that homosexuality should still be punishable by death and really wish it was enforced.
However, its not that way so us as catholics and our church have to take this into our own hands. We need to remind America of how its supposed to be so lets go spread the word.
Hmmm, whats the best way that we can do this?
I KNOW! Lets make some picket signs stating that God is killing off the troops because our military is allowing homosexuals to be serving.
Ya! And lets protest with these signs outside of a deceased marines funeral! That will really get the point across!
(end me pretending and start reality)

NO, YOU ASSHOLES. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU SHOULD BE GETTING YOUR "MESSAGE" OUT. Chances are that marine wasn't even gay anyways you fucks. You wonder why people say that religion is extremist? You wonder why religion gets so much flak. Its because of you idiots that this happens. I know a decent amount of good church going people who simply choose a religion as their way of life. They don't press it on anyone and just go about their lives. You are giving these good people a bad name. When you pull bullshit like this, people who aren't informed are going to label all catholics crazy. Is that what you really want? You want the general consensus to be that catholics are INSANE?

Its one thing to have freedom of speech and religion and be proud of that, its another to DESECRATE someones funeral because you think god killed him for being gay when he probably wasn't anyways.

How about this? You know that constitution that gives you freedom of speech and religion? Guess who FIGHTS, misses their families, almost dies or does DIE, and loses friends so that we have a free country and you are allowed those luxuries? THAT'S RIGHT, THE FUCKING MARINE THAT IS DEAD AND YOU ARE PROTESTING AT HIS FUNERAL. That marine in there DIED so that you can say what you want and follow any religion you want. The way you thank him for making your life easy is by ruining the last moments his family has with him before he goes into the ground?

Let me tell you, if that was my daughter getting buried and you did that shit at her funeral I would be in prison right now for mass murder and COMPLETELY proud of it.

So I say this to you:

I am not a religious person, but I hope you all ROT IN HELL. I hope when its your time up at the pearly gates god says, "Are you fucking kidding me? After what you did at that marines funeral? Get your ass down to hell for eternity."

I apologize for the amount of capslock and cuss words in this one, but this severely pissed me off.

The Death Penalty

http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/states-and-without-death-penalty

So a few more states have the death penalty than don't.

Why don't some states have the death penalty?

My Take:

Recently a woman was sentenced to the death penalty because she used craigslist to lure another woman to her house, and then killed her and her unborn baby.

Was this justified? Hell yeah it was. In other countries if you steal they take off one of your fingers. If you rape a woman they cut off your dick. So if you kill someone you should also be killed right? Maybe.

I say maybe because I think in some cases getting the death penalty is actually the easy way out. I believe that in certain cases you should serve a life sentence in prison for what you did. Like men who rape and murder little girls. You should not be given the death penalty. You should be raped, beaten, serve 75 years in prison and then killed.

Obviously we cant do all that because we as a nation are pussy's, but to me at least 75 years in prison would be much worse than just dieing.

Theres one problem with this mentality also. If we send him to prison for that long that means that the taxpayers will be supporting that man for the rest of his life. Not to mention that prison nowadays is better than being on a submarine. (Trust me I would know) They have cable TV, full gyms, talk to their families. Doesn't sound so bad for what some people have done does it?

So why do some states have the death penalty and some don't? Well if you take a quick glance at that list again you will notice that most of the New England area states have abolished the death penalty. My personnel opinion is because there is a bunch of liberal democrat vagina's that live up there. I HATE the northeast. Anyways. Whats the real reason? I'm not sure, Google let me down this time.

So I am going to propose a bill as follows:

     To My Congressman,

  I am proposing a new bill involving the death penalty. I propose a nationwide law that will apply to ALL states without the ability of the state to change this law.

  I propose a standard set of guidelines that if a court deems the death penalty as a possibility, then this sequence of events will be followed in every case, for every state;

1. Submit a formal "death penalty" package for review to a select group of people. A "death penalty jury" if you will.
2. The DPJ (death penalty jury) will review the case and have one day to decide and vote on whether or not that person will receive the death penalty, a long prison term followed by the death sentence, or just a normal punishment.
3. Win.

Regards,
Kris Jensen

What would this do? Not only would it streamline the entire process while also saving alot of money, but it would make it so that people cant abuse certain states laws because this would be nationwide.

Along side of that, it would be publicly known that no matter where you are, you could get the death sentence. It may deter some people from doing dumb shit in the first place. Yes, I know that some people simply cannot be changed, but maybe if they knew that they would have to do a long prison term and then be killed they may reconsider.

So I ask, and I will make a poll for this week in the top right of my blog;

Would you sign this bill and make it a law?

Equality between men and women

This weeks subject was prompted from a Facebook post that had a comment that struck a nerve to me. I will sum it up:

Woman's wall post:
"Daughter was in store and kept asking for stuff. I told her she better marry a rich man so he can buy her all this stuff. Apparently the women standing next to us heard what I said and told me, "Or she could get an education and a good job and buy the stuff for herself!" So I told her apparently they don't teach people to mind their own business in college,"

I responded to her post like this:

"Well, she is right. Just because she has a vagina doesn't mean she should get a free ride on life. No pun intended."

So while I got my point across I also joked a bit because it wasn't that serious.

Now what happened next is what kind of pissed me off.

Different woman's response on her wall post copied EXACTLY from Facebook:

"sounds like that lady wasn't smart enough to go to college because then she would know that is so much easier to marry a rich man than try to get ahead in this society of men."

My exact response:

"WHOA. Wait a second. I thought that women were equal and just as good as men."

Her exact response:

"Not in the eyes of corporate America...women still get paid less for doing more."

So this is what spurred this weeks topic. Also, I asked my friend to write on this subject. I will post what he thought at the end of this.

So, My Take:

 For a long time there has been the argument that women are under appreciated, over worked, and under paid. Throughout history this has been true. It has been true until the last few years.

A quick search with my good friend Google shows that over the past five years that ON AVERAGE women make more money than men. There are more male millionaires and billionaires by a wide margin but ON AVERAGE women make more money. And its not a small amount either. In 2009 women made an average of 6.5% more yearly than men. That's a pretty good amount.

So now that I put that myth to rest lets tackle the "marry a rich man" topic.

Its been done for tons of years and still happens today. Men like vagina. Alot. So much in fact that it significantly sways our judgement when it is offered to us. This is not our fault. We are programmed to reproduce. Its our job. So when a woman offers us a chance to do what we are programmed to do, our minds take over and tell us GO GO GO. Even if we know damn well that we shouldn't our bodies still press on.

The issue is that women have figured this out and exploit it. To the FULLEST. Women know that we like vagina and they have figured out that if they offer it up then men will do alot of things (like pay for everything) against our better judgement. This type of woman is called a "Gold Digger".

Now, there are alot of women who solely rely on this tactic to make it through life. There are alot of women who don't use this tactic at all and are completely self reliant. I give respect to those women who have done it on their own and can buy everything for themselves. However, MOST women use this tactic in someway to gain an "edge". Cmon, women you know you do it. Don't pretend like you don't. I'm not saying you go up to your boss and offer to have sex for a promotion, but I am saying that if dressing a little sexier or doing some slight flirting will give you an edge up you will. How about if you get pulled over by a cop for speeding?

This is also programmed into women. Its their job to find a solid mate that can provide for their offspring. So women "put themselves out there". They then choose who they think will be the best provider and that's who they choose to reproduce with. Animals still do it today, just in much simpler ways.

So the one woman said that the only way to be successful in today's "society of men" is to marry someone rich. Well, I say you are uneducated and most likely had some bad experience in which you THOUGHT that because you are a woman that's the only reason it happened. Why? Because all the other unsuccessful women blame it on that statement so why shouldn't you?

Did he actually do it because you are a woman? Sure there is a SLIGHT chance, but more than likely it was because of your performance.

So that's my take on this subject, here is what my boy Nigel had to say:

My homeboy put me on to a little conversation that was had between a few people that got into an argument. Apparently little girl was in the store and was pointing out everything saying she wanted this, that, this, and that. So the mother told her daughter that she needs to marry a rich man so he can buy her everything. So this other lady interjected and said "why don't she go to college and get a good job and buy those things yourself." Apparently she replied with " Do they teach you to mind your business in college?" However (comma) that is not the question that is at hand but it is the argument I am about to present. My homeboy Kris told me about this (Shout Out goes to my homie Kris Jensen for this. Check out his blog page at www.kriscostake.blogspot.com). Anyway, one of his friends said "Sounds like that lady wasn't smart enough to go to college because then she would know that it is so much easier to  marry a rich man to get ahead in this society of men."  Really?!?

Now here is where I come in... I agree with Kris when he said to her that he thought that women were equal and just as good as men. So then she brought up the point of women still being paid less in corporate america for doing more. Hmmm........ But it is not true. Now most women in the work force make more than the man.

Seriously, do some of yall women really think that way and tell your daughters to not get an education and not learn to be independant and just marry a rich man so he can buy you everything? Women like that make me sick. Guys referr to those women as "Gold Digging Hoes"... Society has made it out to be that just because you are a woman you get away with a lot of stuff. Now I am not talking about the women who can hold it down on their own. I respect those women to the fullest. But I don't like those ones who all they want to do is go out all day and shop, look online and buy a new hand bag and matching shoes not even have the ambition to contribute to the cause. A relationship is about taking care of each other not about him taking care of her, or vice versa. What were to happen if he were to lose money and now he is stuck, can a woman like that help the family out? No because Mommy told her to marry a rich man so she wouldn't have to work and have him buy everything.

Now me being in the military, I see all the time women saying that they can do the job as good as any man. Which is true, I have seen women who can get down and dirty with the guys. Although, I have seen women who the only thing they do is just flirt with the supervisor just to get out of doing work. Wearing the uniform just a bit too small so it can show off what the working with, bending over and stuff trying to entice the supervisor so they will get out of doing jobs. I have seen it happen, and it still happens. Women intentionally get pregnant to get out of going on a ship's deployment. It happens all the time. Don't believe me, ask somebody on a ship that has females on it. A couple of months right before deployment, it becomes a sexfest with some these females, and will sleep with random guys to get prego. Why do you think the divorce rate is so high for some of the navy families?  Why do you think that a lot of the guys in the military are on their 2nd and sometimes 3rd marriage? Some of yall want to be treated equal, and when you are treated equally as "one of the guys" you complain. You might think I am wrong, but I am just sayin...
