It goes all the way to the bottom of the political pile. I forget why, but half our city council seats (3) are being voted on in a special election in a few weeks. One candidate I'll never vote for has already chimed in on the banwagon to save the children. The trolling opportunities on FB have...

Refrigeration actually dries out the air inside. Any perceived moisture is what condenses on cold surfaces the moment they contact warm, humid outside air. A better idea for items that don't require refrigeration, but you live in a humid environment, is a dessicant can inside the storage...

There I fixed it for you.

I've posted the longer version on similar threads, even thought I'd posted on this one. Oh well LOL. In late 2010 I read a WSJ article about e-cigs that piqued my interest. After finding ECF and self educating, I ordered an eGo starter kit. I was a PAD smoker for a little over 25 yrs and...

Sometimes when I stand up and catch my beard in my belt buckle, I think now is the time I'm cutting it off. Then a moment later I'm out in public and people will pretend to not look, much less say anything about the vape, and I think yeah not today LOL.

Finding a flavor that hit the spot was half the battle. Then just dialing up the nic level until I reached a point where I basically forgot about smoking. It also helped that I worked in my home office, so kept the vape right there for use whenever I wanted, and made smoking less convenient...

I was thinking soldered like a heat sink on a processor chip. As in assembled before the guts went in and the battery was energized. But that would make entirely too much sense. I'm not cutting one up to see, but it's probably just as likely held in place only by the wrap and some wishful thinking.

I couldn't remember exactly, as I was just browsing and not buying. But I remembered it being a Sanyo and found a similar listing, although this is not the one I remember seeing. The classification is unclear as the datasheet link is broken. The best alternates were listed in the 6-8A range for...

Interesting. I swear I read something somewhere that most batteries currently available are now the latter style you mention. Might that be due to the "protection" being an add on circuit board versus being built into the battery itself? All the more reason to use an ohms law calculator, and...

That triggered a memory. My Grandpa was a commercial butcher when I was a little kid. Before he retired, our freezer was always full of all kinds of meats. Everything from hotdogs to bacon wrapped filets. We never got loaded up on prime cuts so nothing got old LOL.

I got your drift. However, I will just agree with you to avoid possibly encouraging someone to attempt something less than safe to save less than $10. It's not worth the trouble of even trying it, really. One of those ideas that came to mind that did not process all the way through. It takes a...

Pretty much should work until it doesn't, due to an open circuit. It would depend on how much current is being rectified, bumps and vibration, that sort of thing. In a hand held battery powered appliance, they ought to last almost forever.

I noticed the lowest setting was 5.0W and moved in 0.1W increments unless you press and hold for fast adjustment. Ok for a low watt guy like me, maybe not so much for someone using more power.

Refreshing my memory from the 4-5 times I dropped my v2 and had to press the guts back in the tube, I suppose it would be a lot safer to solder a slug of metal to that terminal on the circuit board. If I run out of things to do, I might knock the head off my v2 and try it. The unprotected button...

Interesting. This is the VC2 I bought about 2 yrs ago. It spent the first 1.5 yrs bouncing around in a semi truck, plugged in and turned on anytime the truck was not at the home terminal. Might be too soon to begin fading, but it's almost too bright. A bit washed out looking. However it has a...

Looking at it now, it's kind of an average looking screen, except that it's apparently buried under a thick looking clear panel. So maybe more durable than a surface mount? Can't be sure. Have you considered tearing into it to look for cracked or corroded terminals? Cold solder joints? I never...

I'm just suggesting if the display panel just failed. As it would appear when using stealth mode. Presumably the Solo would keep on working based on how it was set in that case. You just wouldn't be able to see anything on the damaged display if you wanted to change settings. But yes, if the...

I'm also thinking if the screen fails, the rest of it will still keep working. I expect most users who don't change their habits much, probably have the adjustment lock active to avoid a pocket/purse related adjustment. Screen might go out, but unit will probably still work. Just blind guesswork...

That's my thoughts, also speaking with ignorance. Judging against the Provaris I've had for 5 and 7 yrs respectively (and both still work), I'd suggest the button is really the only obvious weak point. I won't risk taking one of mine apart just to see, but I have the tools and skill to likely...

Lucky for me, that's only half the time. We haul all sorts of products. Poultry is just the #1 product near home. Although I won't count that time I took home around 30# of some fast food chain chicken fingers. Those are really good in the first place, and can be prepared so many different ways...
