    Been away for awhile (still not smoking) but could use some help/opinions

    Howdy folks, how ya'll doing? I'm thinking about getting a new juice delivery setup...meaning I'm getting a bit tired of carto tanks and Vivi's. Any suggestions? It will be used in conjunction with a VW device of some sort (kinda looking around for that as well). Right now I use a split vamo...

    My Mini Mac....it's close to mini..I swear it is

    Made from heated and formed pvc tubing, a harbor freight flashlight that I cut about an inch off of....recessed the 510 connection so the vivi nova, and anything about that size, fits into the mod to lessen the height (my tanks fit just fine). Altered the original button (per a post here)...

    I hate posting this....

    So, after dozens and dozens of attempts to make a juice I like, one that is semi-sweet, full bodied flavor, one that leaves a great taste in your mouth and throat after you exhale, I've only come up with one very simple recipe that still falls short but is vapeable. 12% raspberry and 2% cotton...

    So, we had an accident....

    My wife threw a blanket on the chair, catching my ZMax that was on the table, flying onto the tile floor. Now the ZMax will start up, but lasts for one pull before I have to reset by disconnecting the battery and then restarting it. Don't know if there's a fix for this type of problem. In the...

Turned the ZMax on, ran thru the menu, tank is showing at 1.7 ohms, batt showing at 4.2 volts. Checked the setting for power, we are set at 5.5 watts. Hit the button to...

    I got me a Galileo from the boards...

    Howdy folks, Well, the Galileo is quite good looking and so far, works quite well. Fits nicely in my hand. There is at least one thing I'll have to change though. The button seems to take about 50lbs (well alot anyways) of pressure to push, and pushing that much with my little...

    Howdy folks, Didn't know where best to post this, so if it needs to be moved, sorry for the hassle. Before leaving for Thanksgiving, I needed something to carry juice in that if it leaked or spilled, it would be ok (my daughter would have had a fit if it spilled in her house). With the rest...
