I just had to share this.
This weekend I was outside dealing with this seasons fallen leaves and my neighbor was on his patio, tinkering with something or other, using charts and tools. Now you need to understand that, while I consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent guy, my neighbor and his wife are well published professors of biology. So basically, I live next door to Bill Nye the Science Guy. The Professor is also a model airplane enthusiast (the remote control kind).
The Professor and I often talk over the short dog eared fence while tending our gardens...his being several raised beds, well planned with charts and graphs and, I'm sure, several genetically superior species of plants. My rather embarrassing garden consists of a few tomato plants from Walmart, supported with sharpened two by fours and twine.
Anyway, on this day, while I was mulching the leaves, the Professor's patio was suddenly and completely enveloped in dense smoke. This could only mean one of two things. He was burning his house down, or he was hatching an evil plot to conquer the world. It could be either.
Slowly the Professor emerged from behind his newly created smoke screen and said, "Don't worry, it's only glycerin". If I wasn't interested before, I was now.
It turns out that he was working on a smoke generator for his model planes. He flies planes that are battery powered, and he had a newly developed device, using li-ion batteries and VG to make smoke...something that I found I could carry on an intelligent conversation about. His biggest problem was finding VG, and I know every store in town that carries it, as well as several online sites. I could also talk about various types of batteries.
Then it struck me. The Professor was creating a new mod...an airplane mod. So if any of you are looking for HUGE clouds of vapor, with an 18 volt battery pack, that will give you 2 1/2 minutes of vaping pleasure...have I got a mod for you.
