    OK so this is WAY off topic.

    # 1--You're not old. Throw that thought away. Can you get any kind of a job or maybe 2, even flipping burgers. It would not only provide some income, it would get you back out in the world and occupy your mind. I know I've seen more of the world than most younger people on here. (I'm old enough...

    Prescription for a cheap mod.

    Seriously now Hocker; are you implying that the inside looks worse than the.... Oh well you know. Only kidding.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Can't beat ingenuity. Now, you owe me the price of a shamwow to clean this mess up.:rolleyes:

    Prescription for a cheap mod.

    Damn Hocker, just blew coffee all over my puter rig when I saw that. What did you use to parallel all those monsters ? I gotta do one of those. Hope it doesn't *go off*.:p

    How long do your 801s last at 6V?

    Good advice about keeping the coil wet. I use 5 volts from an old HP printer power supply, with a 5 volt 1.2 amp output, that I had laying around. I have a bad habit of throwing my stuff around, instead of laying it down gently, and when you do that with a hot atomizer coil it's more apt to...

    Nico-Stick Atomizer problem

    FWIW: The polarity of the battery connections (+ and -), whether in the center or outside, makes absolutely no difference. The atomizer coil is not polarity sensitive.

    Best cart filler I've had so far

    I've tried it all and finally settled on plain, white coffee filters, the cheap kind. Cut off a piece ~5" long and ~2" wide, roll it around a toothpick, put it in the cart. and cut it off even with the top. (It'll pack down when wet). They hold a lot of juice, don't burn and last for weeks...

    Nico-Stick Atomizer problem

    Hate to disagree with the "shorted out theory" here but if there is a short between the inner and outer contacts that would simply cause the atomizer to receive less voltage/current not more. ie. part of the current would flow between the connectors instead of through the atomizer coil. If the...

    I used PP about an hour ago to order some juice from here: Home Page. Seems to have worked O.K. Don't know what the deal is.

    More Power!!!

    A lot of confusion prevails about power supplies or batteries when it comes to our mods. It's really all about voltage drop between the power source and the atomizer. Two power sources which provide the same voltage may not have the same "source capacity", ie. a 12 volt lawnmower battery...

    More Power!!!

    Slight thread drift but it might help or be of interest to some. I had an old HP printer power supply (brick) with a 5 volt 1.2 amp/12volt output in the closet and cut the plug off and wired a female usb plug on the 5 volt output. This thing is great if you're just stationary. If I go mobil, I...

    A Ride Through Chernobyl

    Quite right Pete. Hopefully we can develop alternative sources with minimal risk to humans. In the meantime we're going to need plenty of electricity to charge our "all electric cars" etc. Oh and we sure want to be able to charge our ecig batteries.:) I'm afraid I'll be well over the hill...
