    All my mods part1

    That looks really cool. Here is a pic of what I am kicking around in my head - still haven't ordered anything yet - need to make sure I get the right stuff. Probably a battery box with an 18650 and leads running to the atty from the side instead of through the bottle. You could also use a...

    All my mods part1

    It's $8.00 for each 3"x3" swatch - took me about 10 seconds to find out the shipping cost using the cart. I posted the link to see if I was on the right track with the type if mesh.

    All my mods part1

    Aside from the Kanthal wire and Mesh screen, are there any other "must have" supplies that are uncommon (not at the local Radio Shack, etc)? I know it is listed somewhere within these 66 pages, but has anyone located the best deals on the wire and screen (in the US) yet? THANKS - can't WAIT to...

    All my mods part1

    Raidy - Wow. You are the man. Fascinating thread - enough reading to make my eyes bleed. I'd like to get your opinion on an idea. Can the atty be mounted in a plastic lid? My thoughts are to mount the atty in the lid for a plastic bottle, like the juice comes in. That way all you have to...

    Any thoughts on a good starter kit?

    If you are on a budget, go look at the Modder's forum. Building a "mod" is E-A-S-Y, cheap, and (IMO) more dependable than a "kit". Just build a Nicostick and be happy! You can get all the supplies (or a kit) from MadVapes, which is a great company to deal with.

    and now... The Puck... Cheap Parts and Easy

    I have been using AA NiMH for a while now, since I converted a Weller soldering iron a while back. It works great and lasts a long time. So when I saw the Puck, I knew it would be great - especially since I already have the AAA batteries lying around. I built one this evening - It is pretty...

    As he told me, the newest attys are nickel plated.

    Just got JB back from repair!!!

    Just got my JB back, again. The atty was bad and Carlos didn't catch that the first time he did repair work. In the meantime, the day he was shipping it out, he gave me a call. I had a really pleasant chat with a guy who was genuinely concerned with his "product" and was nice enough to do the...

    OT - ...-Kicking DIY mouthwash

    Because of its' antiseptic qualities. Not that I'd want to swallow that mix even WITHOUT the Tea Tree Oil. As mentioned, this is ...-KICKING stuff...

    OT - ...-Kicking DIY mouthwash

    As a not-quite-ex-cigarette-smoker I became a sort of connoisseur of mouthwash, in the attempt to NOT smell like an ashtray. Most of the over the counter brands are barely decent - I prefer a minty KICK IN THE FACE. Only Tom's of Maine got close. So I was looking at mouthwash recipes and...

    Just got JB back from repair!!!

    I have to say that my frustration with the JB is only with that fact that I can see wonderful potential in it and have not been able to take advantage of it because it had problems. At first I thought it was a bad switch, and I guess Carlos did too. I sent it to him and within a couple of...

    Just got JB back from repair!!!

    I figured out why mine doesn't work. The Atomizer is bad. I removed the atomizer from the housing and jumped it directly with a battery. As soon as it heats up it shuts off. So, all of that work that Carlos just did was a waste of time, since the same atty is still in the box.

    Just got JB back from repair!!!

    Got my box back from Carlos. Sent it in because it kept shutting off plus the magnets weren't holding the lid on. He only had it a short time, so I was happy about that. I assumed that the switch was bad, but I am not sure. He sent it back with a note that he had fixed whatever was wrong...

    4.8v Mod - 4xAA rechargeables - popping attys

    It could have been due to the fresh batteries - I guess. I will have to get a couple of Joyes and try them. Thanks! BTW - I really enjoy the 4xAA setup.

    4.8v Mod - 4xAA rechargeables - popping attys

    I built a Weller dual-heat soldering gun mod. It worked great, but somehow I toasted the switch. So - I gutted it and just put in a switch and used it for a while, with 4xAA Energizer rechargeable. It was GREAT. Lots of vapor, but not a huge step up from 3.7v. So now, in about 10 minutes I...

    New JB problem - turns off - bad switch?

    Just discovered a problem with my JB. When I am holding down the switch it turns off after a few seconds. Hit the switch again, it turns off after a couple of seconds. Hit ti a few times and it goes right off. So - Does Carlos read these posts and can I contact him about problems like this...

    New JB owner

    UPDATE: I cleaned all the gunk out of it, including the inside case. Ran some PGA through the atty and tube. Then took a pin and cleaned the poo out of the little vent on the atty and Voila'! I believe that it is now functioning properly. Usually a nice big hit, but now learning the touch...
