Thanks for the link Mike. Time for me to start collecting parts for a 75C diy mod.

Anyone ever remember push mowers from around the 60's named Drakesman? I can't seem to find any info on the net but I own one now, it's in amazing shape and (to me) very cool. I was on the way to the bank in town today and drove past the guy who always has used push mowers for sale in his front yard when I spotted that old gal, I had to stop just to see what it was. I couldn't believe how good the condition was, I spotted a tag with $45 on it. The guy came out and asked me if I wanted to hear it run, he started it up and it purred, I looked at the underside and it was fine. I pulled my wallet out and handed him the money, he seemed surprised, asked me if I was sure I'd be happy with it, I said hell yes, I think it's very cool! He responded, "well you'll have a conversation piece" I guess he thought no one would want it, I'm tickled! I'll have to post a few pics tomorrow, if anyone knows about the old Drakesman mowers please share with me.

Drakesman? Never heard of them. Love to see some pics, with a cup of coffee in the shot of course.

I'm glad you like it The single deck is super simple to coil & wick.
The only thing really is the Drip Tip or lack there of I'm not a fan of metal tips & any thing on top of it's all ready hugeness don't look the T@T's
I'm running the extension on top these days & man it's huge! It's a nice combo with the ERM+, Like a King Size mod, or an upsized fry from MD's
My Second one (Black) went thru customs yesterday Canada Post is saying Monday delivery

Yeah, the drip tip is somewhat odd, but it seems to work better than the one that came with the 'MSL; I don't "drink" the condensed ejuice inside the Pharaoh drip tip like I do more than occasionally when using the 'MSL.

Luckily, I get through the workday without having to use the Pharaoh extension.

I guess I'm in a time warp or something...for the prices some of these mugs have, today, they should be custom grinding and brewing the coffee that gets put into them. JEESH it's a lousy cup and nothing more!

The one I posted is less than $10. I guess that's why it's so popular. I have a 40oz HydroFlask that was like $50. I got it as a gift and it works well but no way I would pay that much for one.

I'm not having that problem, sounds like a cookie isn't being set.

I cleared my cookies. Same sh...tuff

Another thing to check KTM, I had that problem in the past, it drove me nuts until I finally discovered my date and time was way off.

Time and date is set by computer and accurate.

Had the same thing happen to me. Check your bookmarks for "https" instead of "http"

"Must be logged in . . . "

Nope, not that either.

Still happening. Grrrrrr.

I know there are cheaper ones, like ten bucks, but still. My favorite of all time was one I got from WaWa when they first opened in Lakewood. It was 160z, all plastic, white on the inside and orange in the outside. Coffee stayed hot for a few hours, and I mean hot not warm, and it cost a whole $1.99. After that came the green one, 16oz, all plastic, black on the inside and green on the outside. Same price and worked almost as well as the orange one. They're both long gone history now and nothing as good today at WaWa.

Hell, just come up with a snap-in atty for these things.....

Actually not a bad idea safety wise, a brand name battery pack for power tools will have a very well engineered discharge, charge, and thermal sensing board that shuts it down before battery failure. Size and esthetics......well not so much.

Interesting that in the article Zn batts are compared favorably with Li-ion but with no energy density data. We'll just have to wait for the numbers I guess.

First 20700 mod I have seen for sale, IMO Ijoy isn't know for their quality!
I wouldn't buy this particular mod, but it's nice to see the new 20700 platform being utilized
I have read the 20700 can easily achieve 25% better vape time between charges
