    Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD

    Along with reading about it on the Internet, it really must be true. What did you think of Dark Horse? A short review will do.

    Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD

    Right after I first bought the 67 I built a really hopped engine. I ran it so hard the first 2 days that it dropped a valve on the interstate. I was going so fast I coasted over a mile before pulling off the road. The engine in the picture was a later build. It was red when I bought it but the...

    The floating VW ad was 1967: The model in the ad is actually a 65/66 based on the headlight style.

    Not exactly sure of the the Dakota set-up. Look underneath. Some tanks have the sender installed from the side. Removing the bed is easy. You just need to imitate a doctor by having some patience.

    The heaters were like a Hoover. I later had a 69 VW fastback. Looked like a piece crap but the engine, the engine was also built. The heater on it was horrible. That was the last air cooled VW I owned.

    You don't need to drop the fuel tank. You can lift the bed part of the way off and access the fuel sender/pump assembly from the top. Probably only 6-10 bolts and a few wiring harness connections, plus an extra hand. I have a 2000 Ford ranger I bought with 38k miles. Today it is over 542k...

    Here was my favorite VW. A 1967. I built the engine with several performance mods (racing cam, bigger cylinders, larger carburator, header exhaust, lowered (adjustable) front end, larger tires & wheels. I had this VW in the late 70's.

    When the VW broke I would be walking. That is when I started learning how to fix it. A great book titled "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive. A Manual of Step by Step Instructions for the Complete Idiot." taught me what to do to repair it. I eventually got a job at a VW dealer in 1975 as a...

    I remember $0.45 cigarettes and $0.19 for a gallon of gas. That was around 1970 when I started driving. I could put a dollar in the VW and drive all weekend. If I could kick in the seat of the pants, the one person who has caused me more trouble. I wouldn't be able to sit down for a week.

    Robino sent me a spreadsheet she uses to track costs of vaping against what she was spending on cigarettes. I have started an account in my check book program just for this purpose. I am thinking I will adapt the spreadsheet. It is really simpler.

    Nice. I could build something like that. I don't need any exotic wood and could use spare pieces I already have. Thanks!

    Once I settle into a few regular flavors your system would be much simpler. I am getting closer to that point. I still need to try Dark Horse though. My such a flurry of posts this afternoon. SO. Seeya!

    Here is some of the gear and juice I currently have. It all is in a drawer box I built but never used. I am going to add some dividers to keep things better sorted.

    Slow day in the big city today. I only drove 170 miles and did 3 inspections. I did place an order early this morning for some vaping supplies and it was ready for pick-up by noon so I drove the additional 15 miles to Vaperite while out in the north side environs. New Vivi Nova clearo and NET...

    I have considered getting some different colored stick on dots, kind of like my wife uses for a yard sale price sticker. The color of the clearo, say blue, with a blue dot on the juice bottle. Currently have 10 clearo's and 4 flavors. Not a lot but I have only been doing this 2 months. I have...

    A question for everyone. What system do you use to keep up with what juice flavor is in which cartomizer, clearomizer or tank? I have been marking a piece of tape and sticking it on each one. I also have started using different colored clearomizers for each flavor.
