    Hi all you Newbie’s

    Aren't there rules about advertising posts in the new members forum? Because that's exactly what this looks like. As for Janty having an unassailable reputation, check out the product reviews on the Janty Stick and how people have been reporting it literally falling apart at the seams. The...

    Official OEM 901/801/401 connector order thread

    Added you to the list, I'll be ordering thursday, so everyone has another 24-36 hours to tack their orders on. I'll be ordering a few additional connectors to fill orders in-between shipments anyways, so this isn't a one-time thing, you'll always be able to get 401, 801, and 901 OEM...

    Hello!, interesting idea

    I'd say the problem with this is how long the vapor persists and how a hookah works. Hookahs cool the smoke by filtering it through water, but since we're inhaling water vapor, I don't know how it would react when filtered through water. Add onto that problem the problem that our vapor doesn't...

    dues to high

    As with all real-estate, prices will vary with location, but on average, kiosks aren't as cheap as one might think. To get an idea of upper-end prices, I used to manage a kiosk in the Fashion Show Mall in Vegas, the one right on the strip across the street from the Wynn. Our rent was upwards...

    Share your Soldering Tips Here

    There a number of water soluble fluxes available, and some that are labeled 'no clean', just look for one of those.

    Share your Soldering Tips Here

    I use one of these: FRYS.com | Hakko I find it works better than a sponge as it doesn't cool the tip down. Use your flux on connections prior to soldering them, its a weak acid that helps to clean off any oxidation.

    Not sure where you live, but thats definitely on the very low side. I used to own and operate Kiosks all throughout Texas, and my rent was never under $1500/mo, even at the 'ghetto' malls. Edit: It is also virtually universal that you pay a % of your gross sales over X amount to the mall as...

    Steampunk!

    Not sure if anyone here is into steampunk and steampunk-ish things, but if you do you'll probably appreciate this (: A year or so ago, my dad and I decided to try our hand at making some steampunk computer mods, we made a couple keyboards and cases, and if things ever settle down we've got a...

    On Line Tutorial Class

    Kalc, I just don't really see the need in passthrus, shorts are rare and discovered quickly enough that even if the USB power source you're using doesn't have any form of current limiting, damage should be nil. Shorting out a $2 USB hub for 2-3 seconds shouldn't cause any long term damage to...

    Nicotine - Nootropic?

    I quit smoking in January and found that I was having serious issues writing my papers. For as long as I can remember, any time I would sit down and write something, either a paper or a new ad when I was in that business, I would chain smoke and get it done in record time. When it came time to...

    On Line Tutorial Class

    I don't see how the atomizer would short out on the OEM connector, you're not going to over-tighten it and bypass the silicon insulator, and even if you did most USB hubs are going to have built-in protection. My laptop will shut down the port if it senses too large of a current draw, for...

    Not sure monkey, but it shouldn't be that much, usually you only have to worry about caps if you're torrenting stuff.
