I have several meters. The charger I have shows the voltage of the battery when I first put it in so could do four at a time.

I haven't reported a lot of my latest vape mail because about half of it was stuff I really didn't want, lol. However, I did receive the LV Centaurus M200 recently and it's been quite the treat. Will be posting a review of it soon on behalf of HealthCabin.

A bit of a spoiler:

it's a good one.

I hate when I order stuff and it takes so long to arrive that I really don’t want it by then. I am thinking about putting an unopened sxmini vi class with adapter and the spare sleeve on the classifieds. I barely use the first one and shouldn’t have ordered a second one.

Zivipf in Germany has all kinds of spooled wire. I've purchased wire from them as have other ECF members. They are a good company.

Zivipf.de

Zivipf

www.zivipf.com

They have spools of fused clapton, alien, twisted clapton, regular clapton, staggered fused clapton, nuke and phantom wire.

Yes, IMO there is a huge dropoff between kanthal compared to SS316L, Ni80 or other wire types. I use SS316L and Ni80 wire. For me, kanthal has a rotten metallic taste to it.

I've searched everywhere for my flat wire now that FT have moved on, I even had a good look on Zivipf. But obviously I didn't look hard enough!!
I finally found more of the best wire in the world :w00t:

0.8mm×0.2mm Ni80 ribbon wire :thumb:

NiChrome Flat Wire 0.8x0.2mm / .031*.008" - AWG 25
Thanks Mate :wub:

Fran, if you or someone at home has/gets a multimeter, you can check the charge of batteries from time to time to see if they need a little topping off,

This one is from Harbor Freight, less than $10. Good enough to check battery voltage.
(hard to take a pic though - had to MacGyver it, haha)

Yup, I have one somewhere.

Good afternoon EveryOne

just put some new strings on, and she's ready to be plugged in . . .

. . . oh yeah, Atmizoo Aer RTA + Fakirs Mods Illusia-D SBS

Your vape doesn't need a plug-in, silly goose.

We get tiny ants in the spring, then early summer they take off and the big ants move in. Except last year the big ones never showed up and the little ones were there all summer. The big ants are easy to deal with because they hit the ant poison traps, the little ones won't go for any poison. I kill them with cedar oil spray when they get too pesky. Rinsing the dirty dishes and cleaning the countertop frequently seems to help.

They seem to come in from behind the frame of the kitchen window. I did think about spraying outside the window but that's part of the fenced in area where the dogs hang out.

Try citrus oil which is pet safe. Permethrin is safe for dogs, but not cats.

LOLz . . . correction, we have 34 spare batteries. She just counted them, and then asked if we should buy more. We use them not only for vaping but also our flashlights. My youngest daughter and her wife have pretty many in-use and a bunch of spares.

Rossum has been doing long term testing with his spare batteries. His test results led me to buying a bunch of spares. As long as they are stored in a cool dry place they will last.

If the worst case scenario happens, there will always be cordless tool battery packs to open up and remove (de-solder) batteries. Most of those use 18650s and some use 21700s (Dewalt).

My thinking is we cannot go wrong having a good number of spare batteries. As long as one does periodic checks to make sure they're at storage voltages - - - 3.5V to 3.6V - - - they will be good for quite some time.

Good reason to get some more.

I got some vape mail today. An original Xros pod that will replace my pocket carry at work since my old one melted down. Also got another Target 100 but in blue this time.

I got some vape mail today. I was surprised since my last SM order took forever. I got an Xros pod to replace my one at work that melted down and a back up Target 100 mod. I’ve kept the one I got for review in rotation for a long time. It’s just a really nice size for a 21700 mod.

Good evening, dale.

Sounds good.

If you feel comfortable with the batteries you have, then no don't get more.

Between Her and I, we currently have 18 batteries in-use, 18650's, 20700's and 21700's. Last week I took 12 older batteries to our recycling center.

I also have 24 spare batteries. 18650's, 20700's and 21700's. I keep those in our basement. Batteries ship at storage voltage which is 3.5V - 3.6V. Every few months I check those to make sure they're at storage voltages. If any need to be topped off to 3.5V - 3.6V they get topped off.

That’s just it. I’m not super comfortable with it,

Good evening Dale and lurkers :wub:

I know it’s probably not in the budget right now Dale but I ordered the GoPlus 2 in 1 treadmill off of Amazon. It was $300+tax. It folds to fit under the couch/bed. It was easy to set up and it’s decent for just getting some steps in. Doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles and I’m ok with that. Sometimes my hips bother me when I’m walking the figure 8 around the house.

Rat2, hope your knee survived the gym

I didn’t have the motivation today, looking to get to bed early and feel less like a lump tomorrow.

Kelt, sorry you weren’t feeling good today. Sounds like it turned out decent though!

We cleaned out the fridge of leftovers because….that pesky motivation :lol:

Sweet dreams lurkers :wub:

No more Mods than you run at a time, I probably wouldn’t.

I have a whole 6 going.

FranC · Mar 20, 2023

I’ll probably decide to get a few more but I’m sure it can wait a while.

I have no idea anymore.
I used to have just enough for mods in use and one or two sets to use while recharging.
Now I have a box full of extras.
I know some folks say there are no worries about li-ion cells being available in the future but with supply chain issues and some manufacturers not wanting to sell to the consumer market I figured better safe than sorry.

My work route this week takes me a couple minutes away from Liion Wholesale and was just thinking today maybe I should stop and grab a few more!

This whole vapocalypse thing has damaged me, methinks.

Yeah, I keep thinking I should at least have a few more. IDK
