Knocked it out of the park at work tonight, threw down some fantastic massages and received some fantastic tips in return. Now I'm waiting for the children to go to bed so I can have mommy vape stuff time. Need to figure out why one of my KF v5 minis is shorting out all of a sudden and want to try a new juice that's been steeping, vanilla almond milk.
Best way I found to fix it is to take the base apart, clean it and put it back together paying attention to the pin insulators.

I picked up a small handful of Spinner III's from FT a bit back. I was feeling nostalgic, and I have a couple of Mini RDAs that work quite nicely on those. I keep those coils about 1.2-1.5Ω and enjoy a very delightful vape :) Other than a thin topper, I don't like the "imbalance" of something like an Eggroll. I don't wield a scepter - I just VAPE!

Wield a who? :blink: Imbalance? :?:




big tank smallest tiny mod 30ml.jpg


So, I like this tiny Nectar but it's just shy of impossible to fill. The "tank" is so small, it just air locks when I try to fill it and I can't get more than a few drops in. Any tips?

I have a Toyota (Corolla v1.5) and I think it is similar in design. I have to push my Plastic tipped juice bottle into the fill hole and make a good seal then just fill it under pressure, I also tilt my Toyota till the air bubble is up where I want it then I can fill it all the way up, as in No Air Left Inside.


Or you can push a small blunt tipped needle (on a syringe) down into the wick hole next to the wick and fill that way and let the air escape out thru the fill hole. That's all I got, Sorry.

I'm Nectarless as of yet (FT - ordered it like 17 months ago....... :facepalm:) but I do use the Geni types with the Toyota and the Frodo.

The Toyota is sweet, swift, and sleek. Filling thru the wick holes is the name of that game for her. Him. Whatevs.

The Frodo has different desires. I think it likes to be filled thru its actual fill port (removing that little b'plug and diving in).


I'm still hanging between 0 and 3. I know everyone has they're own happy space, but it kinda scares me when I see all this talk of 24 and 36.

Really. Scary? Why's that? It's just a nic level strength, no? It might be THE perfect one for someone to get or stay off cigs.

There were ladies in my complex who were trapping and fixing- we tried to catch her, many times. She's trap savvy. Unfortunately.

We have TNR over 50 cats since buying this house in '99. We actually had to buy our own trap, as it was easier than repeatedly trekking over to the local nonprofit and hoping they hadn't loaned them all out.

Our toughest case was the elusive Mama Grey. She had half a dozen litters before we could get her. She was not much more than a runt herself, but surely had spirit. I saw her climbing and leaping from a chain link fence one day with a full grown squirrel in her mouth. It equaled her in size.

We finally trapped her in the garage one day and literally had to starve her into the trap. She held out almost 4 days before going in for the food. We had her fixed and she then disappeared within a month. Kind of sad. :(

Below is a pic from 11/26/09, at the height of the madness. We had no Thanksgiving plans that year, so we bought ten cans of mackerel and gave the pride a Thanksgiving feast. About 80% of this group was feral, but conditioned to feeding. That year, I believe, we got the last breeder fixed and have slowly dwindled in population from attrition.

We went through about 60 pounds of dry food every two weeks at that time. Needless to say, no bug/lizard/bird is safe in my back yard.

Currently, there are about a dozen in or around the house, all fixed, fat freeloaders. The worst problem we now have is the random possum/racoon through the cat door in the wee hours. Who'd of thought that the crazy cat lady in my block would end up being me, the fat, hairy biker guy...

Jay :headbang:

The fat, orange cat was Kitana. She was the ONE cat we actually owned, who moved there with us. The rest just kinda showed up.

good to know.
i had a 80vg juice in my kabuki and i had to primer puff a lot...
thought i put in a juice that was pg heavy, but when i looked up online the juice was actually 70vg and the tank is wicking nice.

have your tried 50/50 in the kabuki?
wondering if that's gonna cause leaking issues.

@Ladiekali, no I have not tried any other ratio in my Kabukis. If I buy a juice on a whim, I use one of my Ginnies. I love all my Kabuki, and won't mess with the recommendations. But I will add that some of the juices I've bought on a whim have been higher in Vg and they do give me a kind of winded feeling. So those are just secondary Vapes to try something else. Just a few vapes for the sweeter taste.

Cleaning it out and tightening the leads seems to have done the trick.

Thank you for taking care of the Ferals. My colony was never that large, but I started trapping as soon as I noticed that we were starting to have more strays than usual. Having your own trap does make things a lot easier so that all you need to worry about is getting a time at the TNR clinic. I'm sorry your Mama Grey went missing after you let her back out.

I've still got my two mama kitties living out in the fort. One is seriously considering moving inside and lets me pet her. The older mama isn't quite there yet, but since the tom moved in, she is trying to figure out how to be with him again. I had held off moving him inside, but this winter one of the other toms started trying to kill my guy, so after he went to the vet to get sewn back together, and a month of cage rest, I just kept him inside.

@RainSong This site has great information about ferals and trapping. I was on a tablet last night and didn't have all my links available. http://www.neighborhoodcats.org/how-to-tnr/colony-care/feral-cat-winter-shelter If you can get those kittens trapped, they might be young enough to find homes.

If you can work with the TNR people to learn how to trap, setting up a feeding station and times will make things easier. I ended up having to go with a string and bottle trigger to catch my mama and kittens out the back door. My ferals knew and trusted me, so when I was ready to trap, they didn't hide like they would if a strange person was there.

None of that changes that fact that I need the combination of both vape styles. If I try to stick with just MTL, I go right back to smoking, same with sticking to just DL. But using both as the mood strikes I can make it work. It's not just about the nic.
I know what you mean, I do a mixture of mtl an dl too. Who says we have to do one or other :)

I left yesterday evening @page 1286 and here I sit this morning @8:10am only 4 pages behind.
Good Morning Folks!
