Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

Afternoon.... Hope everyone is doing well. We are getting 4 to 6 inches of snow tonight. It's coming down now and I could really do without it. Temps going down to the teens. So the snow will be here till the end of the week. I'm over with anything to do with pine branch's at work. They are heavy and make a ness in the van. I was driving a new van at work. A Ford Transit 250. Well it's had electronic problems. At 1260 miles most of the electronic stuff went nuts. Everything goes through the touch screen. The dealer had to remove the subframe to replace something. Then found the computer was fried. It was there 3 weeks. Got it back a week ago. I put about 500 miles on it and it started doing the same thing. So it's back with the dealer. The company is not happy. I'll be glad to get through the next few weeks. They also made me the lead driver. I keep track of when the vans need serviced and help with the routing of the deliveries.

So I think I finally have putting an AirTag on a drag (or any single battery tower mod) licked

The trick is three-fold. Getting the adhesive to be sturdy, getting the mod to stand straight and look good, and integrating the tag in the first place.
This is handy if you are getting old like me and misplace things.

-A big washer with a 3/4” hole,
-a roll of 3m heavy duty foam tape, (black with red coverings)
-a Dremel with stone grinding bits,
-a tube/stick of epoxy plumbing putty (which means plastic filled),
-a utility knife and/or sharp small scissors for the tape
-a pack of jocular air tracker tags. (You need 1. They come in packs of 4)

All can be had off Amazon, but the washer may be better found at a local hardware store.

1. The washer needs to be beveled on the inside rim to hold the tag. These tags are both initially cheaper and smaller, but they have two problems: one is they are rounded on both the top and the bottom, and the other is that they eat batteries. So while they may start out a lot cheaper ($16 for four instead of $75 for 4) they may not stay that way.

These AirTags have a few differences from the Apple ones that matter: they are held together with tiny Philips screws (that may be removed. They are ALSO held with an interference snap) and they have a button on them which is good for testing them.

2. Remove the screws and place it cap up on the washer in such a way that the button (which is now on the bottom) can be reached. Additional grinding may be necessary.

3. Stick it to the washer with the epoxy putty WITHOUT sticking the cap closed. If desired a smooth fillet can be made. Epoxy putty can be rubbed smooth before it is dry with a wet finger. Or a file after it is dry.

4. Cut a really thin strip of 3m tape off the edge. Maybe 3-5mm. Cutting it at an angle makes triangles easier. If not start one triangle before you start sticking.
5. The top of the thing needs to be made close to flat. Do that by sticking the strip to the beveled part of the tag so you can cut a single triangle and snip one off. The tape is incredibly sticky (the stickiest I could find by a lot) pull the bottom stip off only to stick it to the tag. Continue around the edge till there are little red triangles in a ring around the top.

6. Remove the red bit while leaving the black bit as unmolested as possible with the utility knife (this is a PITA)

7. Stick the mod on top straight. It should look a bit like this:

The bottom will snap off allowing you to change the battery (which you will eventually need to do)

Random DIY mixing and More

I finished a review and still have four left to do.

Very nice review.:)

Random DIY mixing and More

Good morning random folks. I think the tree for Misty is going to work out. The tent weight is giving it more stability and I put some shatterproof ornaments on it. I still have to watch her and keep her out of the main tree, and redirect her to hers.
Good afternoon, Terri.:) Glad the weights worked.

Good afternoon!

Hahha. Sooo jealous of your temps, Dale and retired. I guess a good thing about winter is it tamps down the allergies. Sorry you’re dealing with that, retired.

We got about 4 more inches and the lake effect band has moved south thank goodness.

Got our groceries this morning, came home and shoveled and then went back out to return a Christmas gift to Lowe’s. It arrived in opened, retaped/damaged packaging. Clearly a return. Irritating that they allowed it to be sent out like that. Fortunately they had some in store, so we got a different one.

I am beat. Ready for a nap :lol: Hope you all are having a nice day!

petition needs your signature

Released last night, forced to go back today. Leaving in a minute. The problem seems to be the :-x broke off the IV needle while trying to remove it and it's now stuck on the inside of my right elbow. I assume I'll be home tonight or in the morning.

INNOKIN PLEXUS GO AND PLEXUS PRO review by hittman

Hello and welcome to another review. Today I’m here to attempt to cover the Innokin Plexus Go and Plexus Pro that were sent to me by Innokin in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. I’m going to cover both devices in one review since they are similar but with a few differences. The Go version is more simplistic without a display screen and a smaller 1000mah battery capacity. The Plexus Pro does have a display screen and a slightly larger battery capacity of 1350mah. The Go has a maximum output of 20 watts and the Pro has an output of 25 watts. Both have airflow control and can use the same pods.

INIITIAL THOUGHTS:


Normally I would start out by showing you the packaging of each device but I’m not sure that’s a good idea because the shipping box and the device boxes were badly damaged in shipping. Instead, I think I’ll just give a brief description. Each box has the Innokin and device name on the front with a viewing window showing the actual device. The back side of each box has a contents list and company information. Each device comes sitting in a white foam insert. The Go version only comes with one .8 ohm pod while the Pro version comes with a .6 ohm and a .8 ohm pod. Both also come with a quick start guide. No charging cables are included.

Both the Go and Pro versions of the Plexus come with a sticker around the base with the Plexus name on them. The pods are interchangeable but the Go only comes with one .8 ohm pod while the Pro comes with the .6 and .8 ohm pods. Both have a USB-C charging port on the side as well as the back airflow sliding control. The control has a series of three holes that can be adjust from a very tight MTL to a slightly restricted RDTL. The Go has a maximum output of 20 watts while the Pro has a maximum output of 25 watts. The Go has a 1000mah battery and the Pro has a slightly larger capacity of 1350mah. I kind of expected a “Pro” version to have a larger battery.

The button on the Go version is a long oval shape and it illuminates around the outside of the button to indicate the battery level. The Pro version has a similarly shaped button but is chrome instead of being the color of the body like on the Go. The Pro has the advantage of a .87” smart color display. It has a battery percentage display on top followed by a bar indicator, set wattage, coil resistance, and puff counter. It gives all of the basic information that you might need for a pod device. I am extremely happy that it actually gives a numerical battery percentage instead of just an indicator bar. The operation of the Pro is as follows.


    • Press the fire button 5X to turn the device on/off
    • Press the fire button 3X to change the wattage
    • Press the fire button 4X to lock the button so it is only auto draw
    • After 10 minutes of inactivity, the locking function automatically kicks in to prevent accidental firing by pressing the button.
The Pro can operate the full range of the device when using the .6 ohm pods but the output is restricted to 16 watts for the .8 ohm pod and 13 watts for the 1.2 ohm pod. I personally am not a big fan of being locked into a certain wattage range but understand why this is done so people that aren’t experienced don’t burn up pods.

The pods for the Plexus Pro and Go are semi clear and the liquid level can be fairly easily seen. When first received, there is a sticker covering the bottom of the pod to prevent accidental firing. The pod and pod opening on the Plexus devices have two magnets each to hold the pods in place securely. The pod opening on the device has two plated spring loaded contacts.

The pods have the Plexus name as well as the rated resistance clearly printed on the side of the pods. One thing I very much like about these pods is that the top has a little arrow on it indicating which direction to push in order to slide the molded top in order to expose the fill port. I very much like this design and the pods can be filled easily with no mess.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Over all, I was very pleased with the performance of the Plexus Go and Plexus Pro that were sent to me by Innokin for this review. The stainless steel body of the devices gives a nice feeling of a quality device and seems durable. I can see where the Go version would be better for someone who is switching to vaping from smoking or disposables to a refillable device. It’s a very simplistic but good performing device. The Pro is more targeted for someone who is a little more experience and likes to see information about their vape and has the option of using the higher output .6 ohm pods.

I found the .8 ohm pod on the Go to be a really good MTL pod with the airflow closed down to about one airflow hole exposed. The battery life seemed very good and honestly I lost track of how many times I refilled the pod. I preferred the .6 ohm pod with the Pro version. The Pro defaulted to 20 watts with this pod but I quickly worked my way up to the maximum of 25 watts. The flavor was pretty good and the vapor production was acceptable. I kind of wish that the Pro went up to the 30 watt mark because I felt like the .6 ohm pod could be pushed to a higher wattage to really open up the flavor.

As usual, it has been a pleasure providing a review for another quality made Innokin product and would like to thank Innokin and Alisa for sending the samples. A big thanks also to you the readers for taking time out of your busy schedule to read my review. Below is a link to the Innokin website for your viewing pleasure.
