    Helloooooo Canada!

    Welcome! Make yourself at home! Over here, we have Camp Logging Camp... Over there is our finest restaurant, Chez Snootée, where every entree is served Au Jus. (Gesundheit.) Bonus nerd points to anyone who gets the references. ;) There are a bunch of lovely people here. And then there's...

    Vaping Mail Show 'N' Tell: What did the Postman bring you today?

    Early day today. I came home to find a delivery notice in my mailbox, which indicates that my Provari was within five feet of my front door. Nothing's checked as far as when I can pick up my parcel, so I suppose it's anyone's guess. I'm gonna give it a shot at around 5. Why can't this hour...

    Canada Customs and My Z ATTY Pro

    :facepalm: Really? The keep-it-PG mandate here prevents me from truly expressing my frustration at this kind of bovine scatology. Here's hoping this one's more expedient, and it's just bad luck that you've been singled out twice in a row. Siiiiiiiiigh. Now I feel guilty that my Provari is...

    GotVapes

    I love words (always have), am an incorrigible punster, and never need incorrige-ment to play with words. ;) Seriously, though, even though this thread's kind of wandered off-topic, I'm glad I could help out. Never would've guessed six months ago that I'd be the one dispensing my wisdom to...

    One other thing - You'll probably want some lighter-on-the-nic juice for use in your genesis. I'd transitioned to 12mg strength not long before picking up my DID, and my first time through a tank of 12mg, I got kinda loopy. Now I use 9 in my DID and 12 in my other things. I seem to recall...

    Whacha think of these?

    OOoooohhh, purdy! Even before I read your post, I thought jade, so even if you're not happy with it, you're doing something right. Do you turn them or mould them?

    GotVapes

    I can only speak about genesis-style rebuildables (they're the ones with the stainless mesh wick sticking up out of a tank of juice) - I haven't tried a fibre-wicked one yet. First thing's first, you're going to want plenty of spares to vape on while working out the kinks in your rebuildable...

    GotVapes

    You may want to keep them around, because no matter how angry you get at 'em, you're going to want something for when you get REALLY angry at your rebuildable. :) It's a learning curve; frustrating to say the least. But when you finally get it, man oh man.

    Rememberance Day

    Indeed. Thank you all.

    Not with a bang but a whimper...

    Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's the idea, however I've also heard that catastrophic battery failure is a chain reaction that you can't stop once started, so I would assume there's a critical temperature that the hot spring will prevent the battery from reaching. I dunno. It's a curiosity thing...

    Where in Canada do you live?

    Always good to see more locals. More chance of a vape meet outside of Toronto. :) Welcome aboard!

    Not with a bang but a whimper...

    Thanks, everyone, for your various expressions of relief at my continued well-being. :) At first I thought maybe a capacitor or something had blown in the LT, 'cos I didn't think a battery just made that kind of sound when it failed. I would have thought it would either hiss or whistle if it...

    You never forget your first... tyger's new APV & object lesson in PIFing

    My first foray into tube mods was this thing's precursor. It's a lot of fun. I love having the flexibility to tweak my vape to how I like it, and it helped me eventually settle on the Provari. Enjoy!

    Not with a bang but a whimper...

    Yeah, I'm pretty leery about the other battery, too. It seems to work a lot better, but do I want to take that chance? My DID is vaping just fine on my Twist, even though it looks a little silly. :)

    Not with a bang but a whimper...

    The subject line doesn't 100% accurately portray what just happened to me, however I like both cultural references and T. S. Eliot, so pthhthbhbphtbpht. Anyway, that over and done with, I was busy setting up my DID with a new coil today, taking all necessary precautions to avoid shorts and...

    New Genesis type atomizer by DID!

    Well, I did a dumb thing today trying to clear a hotspot while out on break. Had no tools with me, so I figured I'd fire up the coil to see where the issue was, and then quickly give it a nudge with my fingernail and see if that solved it. Turns out, fingernails can burn. I put a nice little...

    Vaping Mail Show 'N' Tell: What did the Postman bring you today?

    Yeah, first time I figured out how exactly carto tanks worked, I thought, "Is that it?" But then I imagined the conversation that must've sparked the whole idea.

    VaporGeek Review

    Yep. The couple of times I've ordered from her they've been rather small ones, but nonetheless still handled professionally and packaged to the nines. She even threw in a little key-ring LED handy-light embossed with the Vaporgeek logo on my last order. I thought it was a carto or something...

    But,before december 21st (zombie apocalypse)...

    I was going to dig that one up if I hadn't been beaten to the punch. :) This is the same reason I don't batten down the hatches every time New Year's Eve approaches.
