A Big Welcome from MadTown Vapor

Assemble it all except top cap and DT. Hold your finger over the air hold and fill, a little into the top threads. I have my DT and topI cap together, then screw the top on until the o ring touches the tank section, flip upside-down, release finger from the hole and tighten top cap up.

God that's like trying to start a car by putting the clutch in and pushing the car and at the right moment popping it...still can't do that right. Lol. I'm glad I know but the fill hole works great for me. I like that the Russian has the hole on the bottom and not the side of the bottom. Remove screw, fill, repeat lol. Huh. I should at least try it sometime I guess.

Dino! The MVP works awesomely!!! I love it. My old one finally "kicked the can" after a year or so of a LOT of abuse (I'm a dropper, unfortunately...)

SILVER goes with everything!

Haven't yet had a problem at airport security. I keep all my devices and batteries (separate) in my carryon, with bigger liquid bottles in my checked baggage. TSA has yet to bat an eye.

I am truly sorry to hear about your loss. It's heartbreaking to lose a family member, but I take solace (and you should) in knowing you were there to hold her as she passed on. She was clearly loved, and anyone who thinks she didn't know that and return it simply doesn't understand how to share life with a companion of any kind.

Thank you so much. Speaking if which, i got the radiologist's report back. Turns out it wasn't a foreign object, which would have been the worst knowing I could have potentially saved her. She either had a mass, or more likely something called an elongated soft palette, which they could not accurately confirm the measurement of. In this birth defect, typically in pugs not poms, they diagnose it in puppyhood and operate. In the case of my dog, over 9 years of breathing back that extra tissue we didn't know she had, which stretches over time, eventually stretched so much she was effectively inhaling her palette and choking to death and just sort of made itself known over the last few weeks. I am now grateful her suffering is at an end but damn if that didn't release a lot more pain for me. (hurty hurt hurt)

One of the joys of being a dog's companion is also a double-edged sword. Their intuition and empathy is astounding, as is their ability to communicate emotion in the simplest, purest ways. Their inability to communicate more, though, can be maddening and at times heartbreaking. Just being able to ask 'where does it hurt' is a luxury I'd have paid dearly for many times over my life.

As empty as it likely sounds now, keep your focus on two things...one, she lived and passed surrounded by love, and she knew it. Shed some tears, but shed them for yourself and then get past it - her hurt is over and that should bring a bittersweet smile as well. Two, remember all the happier times more than you remember the loss. Smile at them, laugh at them. The sting never goes completely away, but if you only dwell on the last days you're robbing yourself of a lot of the beauty and joy she brought to your life and the world.

thanks ... I wasn't covering the air hole, or flipping, or releasing or paying attention

"fill a little into the top threads "

I'm pretty sure I over-filled it again ... but it ain't leaking

I definitely see a full tank ... thanks

I stick out, but not as much as I thought. I am.....industrial sized, let's say, and have blond hair and blue eyes, so I don't look at ALL like a local or even regional type. However, there are enough western folks here in BKK that I could be a diplomat, a businessman, or a tourist - nobody knows or seems to care much.

The food is AH-MAY-ZING. I've tried street food, restaurant food, name it. It's all good. Perhaps the most surprising thing is the quality of Italian food available here - there are some truly good pizza places within walking distance of our apartment! One generally pays "US prices" for that kind of food, as opposed to "Thai prices" for street food and at the smaller restaurants. The dollar goes a LONG way here, especially if you avoid the touristy or trendy locations.

I have more or less reliable internet, so I'll definitely stay in touch and provide updates.

I'm really enjoying hearing about your experiences. Every once in a while show us a photo!

Yes, all important infinitely and true. My specialty area in counseling is grief and loss and I believe that all counseling is a form of loss counseling. Not just for beings but for the holes we carry from experience, trauma, etc. Things are not for us to get past but for us to incorporate and move THROUGH. Giving yourself permission to feel, a luxury too many have been socialized not to do, especially men by the way (men's oppression is real, folks), is so important. Thanks for the reminders. I'm confident I'm doing everything beautifully.

We got this yesterday from the vet with the most beautifully written card I've ever received.

I will drop two in the mail for you tomorrow. Ducky I hope I'm not just a vender to you all

I definitely do not think of you as just a vendor You are a great friend! I am not used to being as close as we all here are with you, and do not get me wrong I have 1 other vendor who I am close to but not close like am with you. I hope you do not think I or anyone here thinks of you as just a vendor I really appreciate this, and I do not know if you know this or not but you are great person, and a great vendor as well.

I often wonder this myself......I have never met such caring individuals all in one place......It is amazing.....

can someone please explain how to top fill the 3.1 clone ? ... I've overfilled it 3 times now

I don't want to use a syringe ... Dino said he fills from the top ... I just don't know how to do it, without a mess

once enough leaks out the breather, or I empty some, the clone works fine ... very good taste

it is, as Dino said it would be, a slightly better, more intense flavor than using a Kanger Aerotank Mega

still, very similar in flavor ... the trade off for me is simplicity, ease of filling ... the q-tip technique allows me to fill the mega almost completely full, it looks full when upright ... q-tip thru the drip tip hole, fill 'er up, screwing in the base pushes out the q-tip, no leaks at all

I've no prob building coils, my first was 28 ga at 1.7, then a 26 ga at 1.1, using rayon, vaped great after it finished leaking

any help would be appreciated

I usually clean the tank really well before I fill it up including the catch on the bottom. Then I close the air adjusting screw all the way then fill. After filling as CurlyXCracker said I just adjust the air screw to the right draw.

It really is awesome! I have found that vaping forums have the nicest people I have found so many friends here

That's usually where I screw up, forgetting to tighten the airflow screw first.

"Industrial sized!" ~ I am so going to use that description!

 

[wvducklady]

What amazed me Dino about the situation is that many other vendors would have said "we sale them for ......" And I understand that companies have to make money, and I am in mo way saying that there is anything at wrong with that I was just surprised, because I was not in any way asking anyone for anything. I always podt on here things I need just because I know that someone will tell me a good kind to buy! Lol So, all in all, what I am trying to say is.....you chose to offer me a couple chargers and you did not have to do that It really is so nice! Thank you a bunch! I know it is just chargers, but it helps me more than you know! I have to order nicotine, vg, and pg as well and was trying to figure out how I was going to get that stuff plus the chargers because I had to have a charger to charge my batteries and to get it for my sis as well. Lol I have to make my sis some 18mg nic eliquids to satisfy her nicotine so I need more nivotine now. Haha She is a menthol smoker, and she liked all of my menthol and mint flavors (4 flavors)but they all are either 0mg or 6mg, so I am making her some 18mg of hazelnut so she can at least mix some of the minty and menthol flavors with it and have more nicotine in it. I am not much of a mint or menthol person so I do not have many of those types of flavors. The other4 people I got started vaping did not like minty or menthol flavors, so it was really easy to give them plenty of eliquids! Lol

Dino - thank you for the larger than expected samples and lightening fast shipping! I received my order 1 day after ordering.

I just now received vape mail from SoCal that shipped Monday! That should have only taken 1 day.

I like menthol myself. So I suggest you mix them some easy menthol juices to start off with. When I first started all I wanted was just menthol as do most hard core menthol people. So mixing Menthol at a 3% with sweetener around 10% is a good start for a good menthol. Also to switch it up a little use peppermint instead of the menthol.
That's just my 2cents

 

[rangerrobin]

Will do!
