    I have the standard issue old guy 'stache and chin beard. Grey, of course.

    When do you Replace Batteries?

    I keep using them, as long as they still charge up to 4.19 or 4.20. I only use mechanical squonkers; no regulated mods. I have discharged them down as low as 3.48 or 3.5, and they still charge up fine. I slow charge everything, usually at .25 or .5 amps.

    The Reonauts new lounge

    Shaving used to be such a sacred tradition; like a right of passage. I remember how my dad used to buy Palmolive shave cream in a tube, and spread it around his face with a shaving brush. Before that, there was 'shaving soap'. I think he even used a straight razor, at some point. If men wanted...

    The Reonauts new lounge

    I remember old houses with built in medicine cabinets that had a slot in the back to dispose of used double edged razor blades. I guess, if you lived in the house long enough, and shaved often enough, you'd eventually fill up the wall with razor blades.

    Vape without a e-cig

    Fire aboard a ship at sea is a serious matter. It's sad, but IMO, vapors have done this to themselves. Safe handling, use, and storage of lithium batteries is no big secret. We've been talking about it for years, and yet, people continue to misuse and mishandle batteries. Too many accidents...

    One's experience as a beginner, way back when

    I've been known to be a bit harsh, I guess. But only when it's a matter of safety, particularly battery safety. If someone asks about building a .1 ohm coil, because they want to blow big clouds, and hasn't the slightest idea about ohm's law, or safe battery discharge rates, I'm liable to get a...

    Most expensive vape gear!

    Same here. 27 years for me, this past Jan. 1. ODAT.

    How do you store your gear? Have you counted your gear?

    Everything is on shelves in my home/office. Book shelves, wall cabinet, desk drawers. I currently have 14 squonkers I use semi regularly. Another 12 or so tube mods I no longer use. But they're on the shelf, in a couple wood mod racks.

    Don't know. I've never seen the reason for buying a non LP Grand. They're too limited. You can use anything on an LP.

    Anyway, here's my new grand puppy. Daughter got her hubby a Husky pup for his birthday. She's 9 1/2 weeks old.

    At least Atlanta airport has smoking areas, where I could vape my brains out.

    The Reonauts new lounge

    What an awful return trip from Syracuse was. I was in Syracuse for a week, visiting my daughter, granddaughter, son in law, and their new puppy. My connection was in Atlanta, for a usually short hop home to Florida. But that's where the nightmare began. Apparently, bad weather forced a lot of...

    Keys To Stealth Vaping

    If I were still working, I'm sure I'd feel differently. I can remember looking for places to sneak a smoke, back in the day. But I'm retired, so I don't have to worry about it much. But I don't need to vape in places like restaurants, movie theaters, or big box stores. I'm not ever in those...

    Keys To Stealth Vaping

    I don't stealth vape. I only vape one way, and I won't alter the way I vape, just so I can get away with vaping someplace where it's not allowed. I'm rarely in places where vaping isn't allowed for long enough that I can't go without.

    any tips to enjoying juices you dislike?

    I don't. Simple as that. I DIY everything, and if I happen to make something that doesn't turn out to be something I like, I dump it and start over. When I'm experimenting with something new, I start out with small batches, like 10ml or less. It's not a big loss if it goes down the drain.

    Too used to mod or atti

    REO P67 with either a Stumpy or Hadaly bf atty. If I never bought another thing, I'd still be happy.

    Too used to mod or atti

    All I can say is, over the past couple years, I've become a lot more selective in what I buy. I use mechanical squonkers only (REOs), with the exception of a couple high end units. I know what will work well on them, and what won't. So, I only use 3 or 4 bf attys regularly. I used to jump on...

    Grub screws for attys are generally either M2, M2.5, or M3. M2.5 and M3 are most common. On rare occasions that it's an American sized atty, they might be 4-40. Extra screws can be found at McMaster Carr, which is where many of us purchase spare hardware.

    Most expensive vape gear!

    Yep. Lots of reasons for retirees, especially, to live in Florida. No state income tax. Homestead exemption on primary residence, which is a big real estate tax break, on taxes which are comparatively low anyway.

    eliquid on airplane

    Airport security has gotten so they are pretty familiar with vaping gear. I travel a few times a year, and have never had any problems. Eliquids in 30ml bottles, in zip lock bags, batteries in battery boxes, in carry ons only; never in checked bags. You won't have any problems.
