Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[MikeE3]

I'm nowhere nearly caught up, yet -- had surgery on both eyes, this past week, and wasn't able to see until late yesterday. I just wanted to let folks know that the coupon code "CloudyChristmas1" for Nude Nicotine - Chemically Validated and Artfully Concocted Electronic Cigarette Liquid is still working. It's 35% off everything, and shipping is free for orders $100+, before the discount is applied.

Back in a little bit!

Kenna, Dancing, !!!

Yes, I will be fine. The retina specialist found a second, larger tear in my other eye -- a bit more than I bargained for. He was accommodating, though, and fixed both eyes in the same appointment. He didn't want to, but I begged, pleaded, and made him laugh until he agreed. It's all good; we will just have to keep an eye on it ... hehehe.

I missed the news about the budget and didn't know that those *^!%#* pols caved until I read about it, here. I'm sorry that it caused so many folks such consternation. Double down on H2058, I guess, and pray. A lot. Meanwhile, I popped over to Nude Nic a couple of hours ago and bought 3 liters of the super duper long lasting stuff, at 100mg/ml. That brings me to 4 liters, I think. Once my eyes are back to normal, I'll give mixing another go.

Welcome back LB. Nice to read things went well even though more than expected was found. Here wishing the rest of the recovery goes fast and you get back in the swing of things again.

Meant to put this in the other post and got all excited about Little Bird returning to roost.

FT put up a bunch of replacement screws. Right now you can find them on this page and the next one. FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics You guys are always talking about losing them and thought this might help.

What am I missing? I don't see any screws when I use that link.

Really? There are 27 types on that page and, now, weird , 17 on the previous page. Try this and look at the column of listings on the lower right side. $1.03 Replacement Screws for Atomizers (10-Pack) 10-pack - M4*6mm thread size at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

The link should have gone to the new listings, it does for me. They used to be on pages 3 and 4, now on 2 and 3. Maybe one of the computer gurus can explain it. Sorry for the confusion.

Now that link on the right side shows a ton of screw sizes.

When I use the original link, this is what I see.

Does this link take you to the new listings sorted by date? FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics If it does, go to page 2 and 3 and you can see all the different types. I've seen you guys describe some of them before, like the ones without a head that need a hex, but had never seen one until I came across the listings. There is a reason I don't use anything with teeny screws, I'd be under my desk for hours a day trying to find the buggers.

How bizarre. That's not where it takes me at all, but unicorn bottles rock.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

And I get a slightly different assortment of cool stuff.
And yes unicorn bottles rule.
Waiting on 10 in vapemail.
vaporbeast sent me 2 free ones and got me hooked.

Nope ... page 2, no screws and page 3 is the same one I posted a picture of.

Robert, what browers are you using. I'm using Safari. Tutu, what browser are you using? May be the way different browsers interpret the link.

I really like the 10ml ones for out and about. No needles tops poking you in your private parts when you sit down with them in your
pocket.

That is just weird. I use Chrome. If you manually go to the new ecig listings sorted by date, do you see them on page 2 & 3?

I am using firefox.

I use Firefox. The link did not work for me but I searched "replacement screws" and hit the goldmine. Thanks Tutu!

Glad you found them. Was really hoping someone would find it useful. Didn't realize it would turn out to be more of a treasure hunt.

 

[clnire]

But a treasure it was!

 

[Robert Cromwell]

yeah I stumbled across a silicone skin for my VTC mini.

You might have a sinus infection, Roto. You can have that & still have a runny nosy due to inflamation. My Mom & I have both been there, done that. Had the exact same symptoms you describe. See if Dr will call in an Rx for antibiotic & fluconase. Double the first dose of antibiotic.

Was gonna say 'bout da same, got side tracked elsewhere.

Where do ya do most of your vaping? I would guess in da apt. Mold? If it's a recent issue, I would guess a sinus issue as opposed to vaping da same recipes.

Please keep us posted as to your experiences.

Can hardly wait til ya get back home and just enjoy your time off!

Back in a little bit!

Hey, we reserved your perch fer ya, Rockin' Robin...

I really like the 10ml ones for out and about. No needles tops poking you in your private parts when you sit down with them in your pocket.

Noper, not even gonna ask...

Agreed since it's only happening at home. I've had to learn the hard way at least three times.

1) Couldn't breath, asthma, when we went to hotels. Then it started at home when we ran the swamp cooler. Finally figured out that it was mold in the filters of the AC/swamp cooler units.

2) Runny nose, eyes itched so bad I had scabs around them. That was fun. It was caused by an unopened bottle of free eliquid sitting on my desk that I didn't realize had a flavor in it that I am extremely allergic to (they do label but "natural and artificial flavorings" don't cut it).

3) Asthma, bad rash, itchy eyes, runny/stuffed up nose from the "livestock" feed we use. Turns out they changed the formula after over a decade of us using it. Took months to figure it out.

Roto, it's not always easy to nail down what's causing it, just try keeping in mind what you might be exposed to that set it off. Dryer sheets, mold, shampoo... Really hope you figure it out soon, I know it's miserable

Noper, not even gonna ask...

Actually it was the crease in the leg when you sit down but every time I got stabbed, I did think about where guys might get it.

There was a post made here about your grandson. I wrote a reply and then ECF crashed and took my post with it. I hope his ordeal turns out as well as our Little Bird's has has. Not even the same thing but my brother's best friend lost his eye due to a malfunctioning toy at the same age. Has an extra cringe factor to it because of that. Sincerely hoping the best for his speedy, full recovery.

How about o rings? I'm not as concerned about them because I can get them from the O ring store, but I am not sure the sizes... I think they are 18x1mm (oh, for Kayfuns and Orchids). Kayfun fill screw o rings 2x1? I have some 1x1 but they are pretty tight and hard to get on....

This is what I have in my files for O Ring and screw sizes for Kayfuns. Not mine I stole it from somewhere, but those sizes have worked great for me.

O RINGS
Fill screw O ring: 4mm o.d X 2mm i.d X 1mm section
Chimney O ring: 8mm o.d X 5mm i.d X 1.5 mm section
Base and other sections: 18mm inner diameter x 1mm wide.

SCREWS
Deck screws: M1.6 x 3 mm
Fill hole screws:
Kayfun Lite: M2.5 Countersunk, length = 4mm (use this if the screw sits flush at the base).
KFL+ : M2.5 Pan head, length = 4mm (use this if the screw is a round head and recessed in the hole).
