    Does anybody else vape while riding?

    So you're the guy who ignores me when I wave to you! :-x It's all good. I often ride with my legs on my jugs (away from my foot-controls), while waving at folks. My dual ABS front discs are seriously powerful, so it is extremely safe. I respect your "control issues" :p though, and wouldn't...

    Does anybody else vape while riding?

    My left hand is always more than a few cm away from my brake lever. It lives about three feet (34" wide handlebars) away from it, since that lever is for the clutch. :rolleyes: (I see you just edited your post to remove the "left/brake" part, :D)

    Does anybody else vape while riding?

    Why? What was so "dumb" about it? Was it the grammar? Was it the spelling? I'm curious, since you didn't state one single reason for your harsh adjective. Are you the resident cyber-bully here, promoting smoking on a vaping forum? I could say the same thing about your postscript, and...

    510 (female) connections = planned obsolescence!

    Neutrik® Speak-on™ NL-4 connectors are a twist/click type of insulated quick-release used in high-powered pro-audio sound reinforcement. They're kind of big, but robust as all getout and I've never had one wear out, even after excessive use.

    Does anybody else vape while riding?

    I learned how to crash well with bicycles. I think we both know that they're inevitable, even when you're doing everything right . . . Well, as right as you can. Like riding through oil when it's raining. It's slippery and hard to see when the streets are wet. What's that old saying? "it's...

    Does anybody else vape while riding?

    It's not really any different than smoking while driving, is it? It's nothing like a cell phone. As far as helmets, I just don't hit my head on things when I'm not wearing one. I appreciate your concern though. I hear all the horror stories, but those people just don't know how to crash...

    Does anybody else vape while riding?

    I never would have been able to do this with cigarettes. I just discovered the joy of vaping while riding my motorcycle. Whenever I tried to smoke on my motorcycle (I don't have a fairing or windscreen), the wind would just blow hot ashes into my face and try to suffocate my cigarette. I...

    Fasttech Veterans

    Sweetness. Thanks for the heads-up on their shipping times. Now I'll be prepared to wait the three weeks and it's nice to know what to expect. Off to their site for some Vaporific online shopping! Whoo Hoo!

    Fasttech Veterans

    Hi. I am getting ready to place my first order with fasttech. I skimmed through this thread, but didn't see any feedback as to whether they're a safe establishment to order from. How fast do they ship? Where do they ship from? (Are they in the United States?) Thanks.

    How can I know if this iTaste 134 is authentic?

    My local B&M has an iTaste 134 in their display case, but this place is owned by the same people that own the "smoke" shop next door. Back when I used to partake in that other stuff, I was ripped off when they sold me FAKE hardware. It was labeled and branded as the real thing, but after some...

    510 (female) connections = planned obsolescence!

    Is that an Innokin thing? Is Innokin a high quality brand that will use SS threads, both on the female and male pieces? If so, I've been considering the iTaste 134 - if it's going to have SS threading for its female 510, I'm sold.

    Thanks for the tips! I'll check them out.

    510 (female) connections = planned obsolescence!

    Why are they all made from soft brass? Even the silver colored ones are just plated/painted over brass and even being overly gentle and careful, they're designed to strip and wear out. Where can I get one made from stainless, or at least steel? I'm talking about the threaded portion. The...

    Lubing your threads??

    It's "preventative maintenance" as well as making the act of threading smooth and more pleasurable to feel and hear. It'll prevent corrosion while taking the "fingernails on a chalkboard" sound/feel out of the equation. It's like motor oil in an engine between piston-rings and cylinder walls...

    Kangertech Kbox loose/wobbly 510

    I've been noticing the 510 threads on my KBOX are wearing out insanely QUICKLY. They started out silver in color, leading me to believe they were machined from Stainless Steel, but after about a week, they're turning brass in color, and getting looser and looser, with metal shavings all over...

    Needed some VG so I picked this up is it safe?

    I picked up some from CVS, but didn't realized they removed the "USP" from the labelling. Should I trash this stuff?

    Lubing your threads??

    Be careful with your conductive greases, as they could cause a short if it transmits conductivity between the positive and the negative connections (like where they're really close to each other, such as the 510 connector). If that conductive stuff bridges that tiny gap between the anode and...

    KBOX holster/lanyard/neckring/sheath/case

    I modified a flashlight holster by adding a bit of seatbelt to widen it and work with my Kanger KBOX to wear around my neck and/or holster it to my belt or bag.
