Entirely wrong website, wrong forum, subforum, wrong thread but umm

What are those red and green rings for anyway?

I never figured that out, always just slapped some clear grease around and called it done.

a red ring is indicative of ringworm.

a green ring means it's time to scrub down the bathroom real good.

I didn't mean to derail your question. Hopefully someone will be informative.

It's all gravy. I'm still waiting on the (babe who shall not be named) v3, v2 sure still has got me going and I appreciate you dealing with her :) Hence I stalk your thread, even if the wood is only something to admire from afar - only wood I find beautiful, but I know I'd be heartbroken with the way I treat mods.

Honestly I figure the green and red rings are supposed to be insulators, but they usually don't fit and seem pointless. I'm hoping they have some value I haven't seen yet.

And I just cleaned the toilet, hope the shower doesn't need it yet:)

not 100%.

but . . .. . pretty sure. . . .

that, in ~30,000 posts, ↑that is the first official "I just cleaned my toilet" announcement to grace this series of threads.

the red and green rings are supposed to absorb slight excess acid to deter corrosion I think, the red and green is only colored to additionally identify positive and negative. guess they didn't want to make a black one although I have seen red and black before too green is more common, green is also very common to be used as ground on some euro's and others. I used to use wheel bearing grease to coat the terminals for no acidic buildup or corrosion, even vaseline can work...

Just catching up here.

I honestly don't see any distinction. We each find the formula that satisfies us and it saves us from endless health concerns and other troubles. Between the guy that vapes 3mg at .16Ω and the guy that vapes 45mg at 2.0Ω, who's to say? (Cinnamon Man! :pervy:)

So, are you saying that cloud chasers can go lower Nic more easily? This may be why this tootle puffer is still at 16-18mg juices after three plus years.....

Hey!!!

What's going on in here!!!

Oh my, lotsa lovin going on here...

Anyways, my dear old Uncle Sam said it was time to come back, so... I'm back, in the states, again.

As I told the Bee earlier, I'll be making an effort to stay more involved now, so feel free to run away and hide now. [emoji3]

Since the nicotine in eliquid is absorbed through the tissues of your mouth and nose, holding in the lungs is not as effective. This is due to the size of the nicotine molecules. I personally MTL and went from 36mg down to 1mg in 3 years.

Could be! I've not been using any nic at all for a month now, having just reduced it every few months. I started at 36mg. The last batch i made with nic worked out at 0.75mg/ml - so it was more trouble to add it than not bother!

HRH tootle puffs away at the same 18mg she started with - and i've no problem with that because she's not smoking.

Huh. I did not know this. I do MTL though, so that's not it for me. I don't tend to chain vape though. since I'm mostly sneaking puffs between patients, or taking vape breaks from working around the house. like now :rolleyes:

But you are not vaping much, so all-in-all you have reduced your nicotine intake per day since you started, correct?

And apparently the palate and gums are good absorbers. I can really tell the difference with dentures. Got them where they don't hurt and since I have been wearing them all day I am vaping about 1/2 again as much as before. Sigh

Puppy? Sadly I had to take out the coils you built for me last year. When did you do those? They were awesome though!

Sounds like you thoroughly enjoyed it. Got some good mileage out of it too! :D

:vapor::vapor::vapor::pervy:

Oh, and that MM build only had about a day of vaping on it before I gave it to you. So most of the wear and tear was whatever you enjoyed! ;)

Don't worry. They usually keep the roads plowed in the winter.

been detailing the finish yesterday and today. (final coat, final sanding and taking it down to 3k grit . . . detailing caps, etc). Almost done with all that (down to the last 2 mods). I'll wrap that up tonight and/or in the morning. Then would be the small parts' turn. I will make some sincere effort to get some finished body pics up real soon (daylight, tho . . . daylight good).

meantime, how 'bout some petals in the sea . . .
