    GG Furry and Fuzzy Friends

    I thought I would start a thread where we can introduce our extended families to our GG friends. Many years ago, our son discovered a baby robin in the grass in the front yard. A stray cat had eaten his mother and brothers and sisters but Rodney survived. I remember spending the saturday...

    My Best Bish Twist So Far

    Thanks to the Bish Twist coil, I'm now a LR, LV vaper. Several people have asked for photos on how to make the Bish Twist so I just made a new one and documented the process. In this case, I started with two wires, a 6" piece of 34ga Kanthal, folded in half, and a 3" piece of 32. Just so...

    Quad twist coil .8 Ohm in the Ody

    Ever since Bish published the twisted resistance wire thing, I've really switched over from HV to LV. I get the same throat hit and no longer worry about stacked batteries. I can finally use my Stealths as well so thanks again to Bish. Before Bish's twisted coils, I was never able to wind a LR...

    Totally off topic

    But I know we have GG family in Connecticut and lots of North-easterners. As a father, my heart and prayers go out to you on your tragic loss yesterday. Unfortunately, this is a sign of the times. Loss of morality, de sensitivity to violence with all the new violent video games, mothers that...

    GGTB Woodie

    This project has been a labor of love for almost a year now. It started because I was trying to combine the strength and compactness of metal with the sheer beauty of love. Through trial and error I think I've perfected the veneering process on several prototypes. My other concern was the...

    Good going Bish!

    I've been trying to go LR since forever, never could though because the throat hit just wasn't there. I wrapped .9 ohms before but they burned up quickly. After watching your last video, on a whim, I twisted two 34GA Kanthal wires tightly together, very tightly wound then measured out .8 ohms...

    What's your favorite coil dimensions?

    I got home from a weeklong trip and rebuilt my three Penelopes this morning. I figure there are lots of newbies with Penelopes now that may not have a multimeter or know much about ohms. I thought I would share my favorite coil but expressed in layman's terms. I used 36ga Kanthal wire and 30...

    A question for the ladies

    I like a strong tobacco juice, usually a Halo product. As a lifetime smoker, I have no sense of smell and my wife is always telling me now bad my juice smells. Can someone from the softer side recommend me a nice smelling juice? I can't tell the difference but am willing to switch if it...

    Goodbye to Doc Watson

    Air Travel with the GG

    I've been looking for a way to bring my GGTS when I travel. Ecigs are not prohibited but my GG's usually cost me some time as some brain dead TSA zombie tries to prove himself by pulling my bag out of the machine, going through my stuff etc. i try not to waste time explaining things to idiots...

    Maximum Vapors Woodie Max

    I just received a new Woodie Max. The unit is poorly constructed. The door is hinged but there are no magnets so it rattles and springs open constantly. Those things I can live with. What I find absolutely abominable is the incredibly poor job on the finish. MV took a beautiful piece of...
