I'll give it a try. Thank you. Cinnamon danish is exactly the kind of thing I would like.

The battery shuffle has never been a problem for me. I worked out a routine early on. One thing I did right in the beginning was to buy TWO starter kits, so I had two chargers and plenty of batteries from day one. I've done some simple but effective mods. One day I'll upgrade, but for now, I'm happy with my rig.

You know, some of these people don't hate smoking, they hate smokers and want them to suffer, even after they've quit. Knowing some people have quit painlessly with e-cigs just pisses them off to no end. There was a jackass on a fairly recent thread who actually told a poster they should continue smoking rather than try to switch to e-cigs. That's some serious hate.
