    A Machinist's Warning About New Tanks And "Machine Oil"

    Yes, I did. It's called electropolishing. And, just for your edification, the FDA regulates medical devices - not the CDC.

    A Machinist's Warning About New Tanks And "Machine Oil"

    Those symptoms I listed are generally brought on by exposure to levels somewhat significantly higher than you'd find as residue in your new tank. I was illustrating a point and alluding to the possibility that perhaps the annoying little headache you got last month on the day you first used your...

    A Machinist's Warning About New Tanks And "Machine Oil"

    Without getting deep into the chemistry and physics of all this, I'll try to give a brief explanation and an affirmative answer. With all of the solvents I have discussed, including ethyl and isopropyl alcohol, they will be naturally evaporated away without further action on your part. What you...

    A Machinist's Warning About New Tanks And "Machine Oil"

    If they were contaminated with the stuff we use to cut parts in the shop, I would in a heartbeat. Mainly because I understand basic chemistry and physics. I've spent most of my machining career doing jobs in two industries: Defense/Aerospace and Medical Devices. Guess all those tens of thousands...

    A Machinist's Warning About New Tanks And "Machine Oil"

    This is true, some polarized lenses under the right conditions can act like a refractometer and allow you to see traces of coolant residue. I would not, however, suggest that if you take a look at your atty through your Ray-Bans and don't see rainbow colors that is assurance that no residue is...

    A Machinist's Warning About New Tanks And "Machine Oil"

    Awww, sorry to hear that man - I know what you mean, though. Mine is more the type to play head games. You know, one day we're best friends (or better) and the next she doesn't speak to me for 3 months for no reason whatsoever. Gonna stop now before I hijack my own thread with ex-hating! :pervy:

    iPV4 Exploded

    They are backordered at that site. Can you vouch for them as selling legit batteries? No offense intended, just wondering if you've done business with them in the past or not.

    iPV4 Exploded

    Sony VTC4 18650 2100mAh battery ( box of two ) Sony is no longer making 18650 batteries, so any VTC4s or VTC5s you see are either old stock or fake. I can vouch for the link above, I just bought that exact deal just over a week ago and inspected them very carefully against my known VTC4s that...

    Rixsta, I like you more and more. Not only are you full of great ideas, but you're obviously an optimist! o_O

    Ways to know when to change coil

    Like others have stated, you'll probably notice a change in flavor / vapor production / airflow characteristics that will alert you that it's time to change your coil. Once you get that indication once, when you open it up you'll see the coil looking black as well as (depending on your juice)...

    A Machinist's Warning About New Tanks And "Machine Oil"

    I'm really glad you were considerate enough to add that info. I don't mix myself, but my ex-wife does (and is pretty talented at it) and has a huge selection of flavors, but it would never have occurred to me to try that. Now I'm feeling a strong compulsion to do just that. In fact.... I'm...

    Excellent solution! I will endorse this method, as well. :toast:

    A Machinist's Warning About New Tanks And "Machine Oil"

    The Problem To all those newcomers to vaping, as well as some who've been around a while: I've seen/heard people mention, in the course of discussing the new RBA/RDA/RTA/Whatever they just got, that they can "see" or "smell" "machine oil" in or on some part of the apparatus. I would like to...

    Temp Control Coil Heads

    I assume that you set the resistance for both setups and that the resistance it read was close to 0.15 ohms? Make sure you set the resistance (press the + and - buttons simultaneously) on your coil after the coil has been acclimated to the ambient temperature and before firing it even once...

    Subtasks mini rba help.

    I would suggest trying "stacking" the wire two pieces thick. If you cut 2 pieces of wire and lay them one on top of the other (so, instead of ----- being your wire, it looks like ======) and then wrap your coil you should be able to resolve most of these issues. Stacking .5x.1mm Kanthal A1 into...
