    Hornet has landed

    Here's what I've been doing for my Hornet. It's not terribly elegant, but folded over stand of silica, 4 wraps of 32g kanthal (that's what came along with the atty) should meter about 1.6. I'll wrap the end loop around the center post and tighten it snug to catch the juice coming out of the...

    Hornet has landed

    Well, I can't recommend 310 vapers enough. I ordered this bad boy just after midnight Tuesday morning and its here, from Cali to MI on Thursday. Included a bunch of silica and kanthal too, which is nice. EDIT: Alice, I definitely see your point on the fit being tight, even on this adonized...

    310 vapers has some wicked shipping... From CA late last night to MI just before midnight. Tomorrow I shall feast on Hornet nectar!

    Hornet has landed

    Is there any particular reason to choose an ERA over a hornet for a regular grand? I'm really attached to the gold color of the Hornet, but I wasn't sure if there was any significant difference compared to the ERA. EDIT: Eh, screw it. Ordered the gold BF Hornet.

    My REO hates me...

    So, New Years REOsolution: Quit breaking nice s&!$, stupid. Got it. Noalox does seem to have cleaned up my tiny spark problem. Now let's see if I can coax the life back in to this kick, just for S&Gs. I really hope that I didn't short the coil twice, the first one nuking the kick and the...

    My REO hates me...

    Sending you that in a minute. I meant to get extra springs with the reomizer order and plum forgot until I dropped this one :( Thankfully, in an annoying way, at least I shouldn't have to worry too much about more backups until I can afford an ERA. With no offense intended to you, the build...

    My REO hates me...

    Update: Button tops came off the charger. Not sparking on firing. One tiny little spark just as the battery loses contact with the firing pin. I almost feel like that's something that may be expected. It's literally in the space between the pin and the battery for a split second as they...

    My REO hates me...

    I thought that bending a spring back out would cause it to lose the whole "dropping the battery" trick a second time. But no, thus far firing the carto hasn't resulted in the spring re-collapsing. This is telling me to break a part of the feed tube off... I don't have a replacement for that...

    My REO hates me...

    I did do the naughty "restretch the spring" because I haven't got a spare handy at the moment. I figured it was probably a bad coil, and I'd do a couple quick tests then go back to the relative safety of cartos until I could get a couple more shipped out. Considerably harder to short with a...

    My REO hates me...

    Negative on the upside down battery, plus it wasn't even kicked when the spring melted. I'm not sure what killed the Kick (heck, I don't even really know it's dead. It might be fine as soon as I put it in a device that isn't shooting sparks at every touch :() I'm charging my older button top...

    My REO hates me...

    Something has gone catastrophically wrong with my Grand... I mean like, when it rains it pours kind of wrong. Yesterday I noticed my reomizer wasn't firing at all. No big deal, I figure, that crappy little rod in the middle probably came loose again. Clean, disassemble, reattach parts, fire...

    I'm starting to get nervous

    I was just giving you grief ;) I think my name is still on the list of reonauts somewhere, but I don't poke my head out and post here often anymore.

    Take a Break and Vape with Mister-E-Liquid

    Where have you been hiding the magic that is this Jamocha Haze? Holy crap. This is... wow. I think next time I scrounge up some cash, I'm gonna need a lot of this. I liked the French Presso, but it could get a little too rich over time. I don't suspect this is going to have that problem at...

    The "REOMIZER" Rob's Rebuildable Atomizer

    After a long, hard 2 week trail of things going wrong, I finally got my reomizer set up and running correctly. Holy cow! The draw is... weird, to say the least, but I am loving the suction from squonking. It's nice that its so difficult to flood the thing. Maybe a little loose, but still a...

    I'm starting to get nervous

    Tracking updated, it'll be here today. I suppose I just had to add a little extra shame to the pot before my sacrifice was accepted. I have no idea where I'm going to find a pile of dirt big enough to throw myself in now. But, thank you all for your support in this trying time... Let's all...

    I'm starting to get nervous

    Make no mistake, if the USPS lost my yellow devil, I will go friggin' postal. I sent the investigation request, I know I have to be patient and let it appear from the postal abyss, but I am so sick of having to drip and use this giant stick of the backup vmax. I want my magic vape box back :'(

    Fiddlesticks. Better start writing this, my appeal to the karma of silliness has failed.
