    Why I'm fed up with the vape community (mostly)

    I'm late to the thread (always!) and haven't read the whole thing, but from some one who's been kickin around the community for some years now... We were vaping under the threat of the FDA killing it back 5 1/2 years ago, when we were using crappy toy-like cigalikes and building our own true...

    Just a little pull-apart-the-fasttech-driptips-for-beads update... I got a fasttech order yesterday, with a couple of frogs in it, and they look a little different form the one I used in the pics. I pulled one apart this evening, and it has a slightly smaller post size of 4.5mm...half a mm...

    Back many years ago I sold at 6 or 8 craft fairs in the fall for Christmas shopping/winter heating money, but now I have a good job and can often work as much (if not more) overtime as I like, so I can do crafts for the simple joy of it...and I wouldn't have time to do this as a serious side...

    I think I've got my drip tip photo skills down reasonably well...the ones on the left are on the frog bead holder... Oh yeah this is fun!! :D And I haven't used any of the bail type beads that have the charm loops on them... I know there are a lot of charm fans here...

    Don't feel bad...I got another bunch on the way! I actually emailed Phiniac to see if they would tell me the outside diameter of their switch tip adapters, but didn't hear back...I understand that they might not want to say, as it could affect sales of their inserts. Since they're somewhat...

    You know, I thought that would likely be the easiest option...but carto tanks really aren't my faves. I do have some here tho...have to check out the length...when I have some time. I've only been collecting drip beads for a month...:rolleyes:

    I also found these at Michaels crafts while I was bead shopping, and couldn't not buy them...The tube is plastic and they come apart in three pieces. The longer one is almost exactly the size of a mini Protank. Hmmmmm....next craft project I gotta think on.... :huh:

    The possibilities ARE endless...and I got my poor hubby trying to watch a movie while I'm drilling out beads...not to mention going to every bead shop for 30 miles!! But hey I installed new jump rings on his new bass fishing lures tonite, and I go to Bass Pro shop with him. Oh and donut beads...

    I also pulled apart a second tip (from fasttech also) which had a much larger center post...well over 6mm...which was harder to find beads for... it was also a very tight press fit. I ended up making some small beaded rings out of 4mm spacers and crystals; I did find some more larger...

    I posted this a while back, and so for the sake of sharing, I've been dissecting a few drip tips and been bead shopping...such a chore!!! Hope these pics come out well...thought I'd share. First I started with a frog tip...the tip portion is a press fit into the main tube where the frog...

    TFA Pineapple killing my syringes.

    I tried CAP Golden pineapple in place of the TFA a while back and continued on with it... hard to tell if the TFA effected my syringes tho since I keep a glass of hot water next to me and suck the water in and out of the syringe the moment I empty the flavoring from it. I also leave the airspace...

    Why are Fasttech's prices so very unimpressive lately? If USA sellers on EBay have the same prices, then what's the point?

    I've been thinking the exact same thing as O.P. For simple items, the two are leveling out, price wise.

    ebay/china products

    I've ordered from both ebay sellers in the US with good feedback, and fasttech....no problems either way. Fasttech is free shipping, so separate your orders with them...order batteries on one order, then anything else you buy in a second order. The batteries will slow down arrival time, but...

    Tattoos and Vapers.

    Ok, gonna date myself here...I have tattoos almost old enough to be grandparents, and one I had done just last year. Mostly in recent times I've has older ones freshened up. None are visible on a daily basis, (except the one no one notices on my earlobe) and all are small florals except two...

    What percentage of gear have you had to throw out

    When I first vaped, the commercial equipment was crappy, and you had to build yourself to get much of anything reliable. Now there is a huge amount of equipment out there, almost all better than what was around just 5 1/2 years ago. However.... We may be quickly coming to a time where, thanks...

    Opinions on Vaper's Tek Nicotine Base

    Fourth order placed! $:)$ Not that I'm dumping any other brand I own, just in case, and luckily I don't mix with nic to start so I haven't wasted nic that way either. I feel that time is growing short for our harm-reduction hobby as it is now...doing my part thru casaa but with little hope.
