GreenPuffer Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit Review

green1

New review by me:

 

Hey, hey! I’m back with another electronic cigarette kit for review from Smoke51 called the GreenPuffer. This kit includes two batteries and two types of chargers, one is USB and the other is a standard AC adapter style. The big difference with this kit compared to the others I’ve already reviewed is that it’s not disposable, it’s a real electronic cigarette, or at least as real as it gets. So read on…

WTF Gamestop?!?!

I get games for review sure, but you can’t get every game that ever comes out so I’ve got to buy them. I don’t care for Gamestop too much, but it’s convenient, not even a 5 minute drive from my house and the used game are fairly cheap for my kids.

This has happened numerous times now I’ve gone in there on launch day and they don’t have the title. Not just little games, but big blockbuster games like Call of Duty Black Ops for instance.

Today Plants vs Zombies for Nintendo DS came out. My kids had 2 hour delay because of the ice on the roads, so I stopped at Gamestop after dropping them off and no Plants vs Zombies for the DS at all. They only have them if you reserved it. This has happened many times now and it’s to the point where it’s really pissing me off.

I don’t reserve games because you never know what’s going to show up on my doorstep to review, so why reserve something when it might show up.

Wouldn’t you think that they’d get a few extras in besides the reserves for people who walk in and want to buy it. That would be common sense I would think, but apparently Gamestop has no common sense at all. They’re losing money.The guy even told me that they got no extra copies to sell except for reserves and that’s it. So now everyone that sees the game has been released today will go in and be told no that they don’t have it. It’s release day and they don’t have the game for you to purchase, that just makes no sense to me whatsoever.

If it wasn’t for my kids I seriously wouldn’t ever step foot in a Gamestop, Kmart is right across the mall from the Gamestop and I could easily grab games there if I want to buy them. usually I just grab them from Amazon or somewhere else online.

It’s launch day at the biggest chain video game store and they have no copies of the game.

As I said this has happened many times to me and it’s rather annoying that such a large company like Gamestop doesn’t have the game on launch day for you to buy.

Whatever, someone else will get my money if they don’t want it..

Windows Update Woes

Why is that 9 out of 10 times I run the Windows Update and restart the computer something is wrong with it?

I love Windows, always have, very happy overall with Windows 7 but not with the update process.

The whole Netflix and Silverlight thing still pisses me off and every time it updates Netfllix stops working and I have to re-install Silverlight version 3.

I installed updates late last night, then went to bed. I woke up this morning with no internet on my main computer. I thought it was the internet connection itself as we just got a lot of snow, snow on the lines, tress etc could cause an issue. I checked my netbook and DSI and found they had an internet connection over wireless.

Looking at the little icon in the bottom corner tells me that yes I do have internet access. The weather sidebar gadget updates so I have access right? Nope, nothing else will connect to the internet or even connect on my home network, I can’t even see my router.

Spent 3 hours trying to figure it out. The fix I found was to go and get the network drivers for my motherboard and re-install them. That seems to fix it, but I restarted my computer twice and each time I’ve had to install the drivers. I can’t figure it out, it’s annoying me to no end.

KRAVE Disposable Electronic Cigarette Menthol Flavor Review

kravecig1

New review by me:

 

See a pattern lately with the reviews? Yep I’ve got another electronic cigarette for review, this time it’s another Krave but this one is more of a mini kit that just a throw away like the last I reviewed. It’s just called the Krave Disposable Electronic Cigarette and it comes in a pack that resembles a real pack of cigarettes. I like this idea as it’s easier to carry everything with you. It comes with four cartridges and a battery and atomizer and when you’re done with it all you just throw it way. So read on to learn more…

Krave500 Disposable Electronic Cigarette Review

ecig3

Last week I posted my review of an electronic cigar from VaporCorp / Smoke51, this week I’ve got a couple electronic cigarettes from a subsidiary of the Smoke51 called Krave. They kindly sent me along both sample of menthol and regular or tobacco flavors. These Krave500 electronic cigarettes are disposable ones, meaning you ‘smoke’ them and just toss them out. They’re certainly unique and very different than a real cigarette.
