    Next week will pass 11 years without a cigarette

    Thanks for "Running Point" ! While our Doctor couldn't convince us, our RN Daughter's "nagging" finally did. Gave up the cigarettes and kept the Daughter! (Due to a little more "nagging", we recently relocated from MS to her home in Napa. Daughters are treasures).

    Next week will pass 11 years without a cigarette

    Have no helpful advice on how to reach 80, but switching to vaping is definitely a good step. (That and sipping a bit of Bailey's while relaxing on the porch).

    Next week will pass 11 years without a cigarette

    I'm on my 2nd kick module. You can set the vw easily. I just use 7-7.5w. I do have to use an 18500 battery, but it lasts all day for me. If TRJ goes out of business, I have a couple liters in the freezer. I did modify the 69 clone by replacing the switch spring with magnets and added a...

    Next week will pass 11 years without a cigarette

    Expand my profile picture and you'll see my very simple stuff. Just an old 69 clone with a kick module and a Kanger pro tank. I've always used Texas Rebel strawberry blonde liquid and made my own cotton coils. I've tried other things over the years, but always returned to these simple things...

    Next week will pass 11 years without a cigarette

    Can't take any credit for abstaining, as vaping made it quite painless. Just turned 80 without my previous breathing difficulties.

    Over a decade with a 69 clone.

    How I fixed the only flaw with my (kicked) 69 clone. (After a decade ). The 69 lacks a battery spring and had spotty connection due to its telescopic threads. This simple magnet holds the spring on the battery itself and solves that. As it is SS, couldn't secure the spring any other simple...

    Safety comparison of unprotected battery+kick vs protected battery.

    I bought several of these some time ago by mistake and was wondering.

    Safety comparison of unprotected battery+kick vs protected battery.

    .69 by NickSteel posted Dec 13, 2015 at 11:58 AMUse: Tube mech @ 8W and Protank with 2.0 coils Have read numerous conflicting posts and articles and remain confused. Is a name brand protected battery safe to use, or is use of an unprotected battery w/ kick safer? I have also read conflicting...

    Rubber coating mod

    Anyone coated a mod with some sort of liquid rubber? I have some very scratched up old mods that no longer have rubber cases available.

    Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

    I bought an Opus charger that cycles my 18500 batteries. Seems to work ok and I was able to sort out several weak ones. I use a very simple old 69 clone with kick and aerotank at 7w.

    Did that a couple weeks ago. Ran them through recondition and weeded out the duds. Surprising how many still hold a decent charge.

    Mech users unite!!

    Yeah, original edition book I've had for 50 years. Old guy, old book, old mod. :) In over four years, I've never had a problem with the Hcigar 69. I did replace the switch spring with magnets when I first got it. The Sigelei kick has also been flawless, unlike other mods I have tried. The...
