id rather use cotton anyway might not last as long but better flavour and i get more practice using cotton:vapor:

Further down the line if you decide to have a try at a Genesis style atty (like an RSST or Aga), the SS rope from them is superb mate.

Instead of double posting just go to my thread for the Update on the X.Gun, this link takes you to what I posted today.

That's a real shame about the threads mate. Ron is right the RG500 does look best on it though, seems to match the wood finish better than the other tanks.

Well the RSST has an insulated wick hole so there's no problems with shorts. What you do with rope though is to wrap either a cotton or ekowool sleeve around the section where the coil will be. The main reason for the sleeve is to give a smoother surface for the coil to make contact with, you can do the coil straight onto the rope, but you won't get a good contact area with the rope being an uneven surface.

So today's update.

Cleaned out the RSST, Vmod mini and Kayfun 3.1 (the Vmod actually had a bubble bath :laugh: - they work better after a good bath).

Also washed my two new tips from FT. The 45mm one has gone on the Kayfun lite clone/GP Paps combo - looks totally different now, cos the tip is almost as tall as the Kayfun & Paps combined.

Popped a new cotton nano-coil in the Kayfun 3.1 @ 1.2 ohms, filled up with some AIV "orange makes me creamsickle" - the flavour was quite muted before, even when dripping, but now it tastes amazing :D

Did a new cotton sleeve for the rope wick in the RSST and fitted a new micro-coil @ 1.7 ohms, rocking on the "grandmas cinnamon Danish".

Wrapped the Vamo with my "Fellowship of the Ring" Jwrap and the Vmod mini with my "One Ring" Jwrap (I posted the pictures previously of the Jwraps). They both feel a lot better to handle now with the vinyl wraps - not as slippery as before, so that's a big improvement :thumbs: Also put a fresh 1.5ohm atty in the Vmod to try out my new DIY blackcurrant juice, currently got one of the 10% mixes in there, but I think it might be a bit high on the flavour side, so I'll try one of the 5% mixes next.

So I've been pretty busy today :D

you have been busy havent you and if the 5% ends up being to week you will be able to mix it with your 10% then you wont have any wastage just to much blackcurrant mind you dosent terry want some blackcurrant :D so only winners there

Must admit it did surprise me how strong the 10% mix is. Normally when I do blackcurrant I mix it at 20%, but the flavouring this time is a new one - it's very potent.

I want to get the mix right before I send some out to Terry. Like you said though, I might end up mixing the 5% with the 10% - see how it all pans out.

I'm glad the AIV juice has improved though in the Kayfun :D

at least when you remix you will know the right mix for next time and there is nothing wrong with a bit of recycling :vapor:

Yeah mate, that's the only problem with DIY, it does take a while to perfect a mix. As long as I keep plenty of notes as I go along, it's easy enough to make the same batch again, once I get the recipe right :D

Plus, I really want to make sure it's right before I send some to Terry. Don't want him coughing up a lung :laugh:

Hello Luvlies =]

It has been an excessively busy weekend for me!

Had an issue at work on Wednesday, a co-worker came in late, which forced me to stay late waiting for her. Another co-worker that 'should' have been available had disappeared. The problem lies in the fact that Wednesday is the end of our pay week, so I had to be paid 30 minutes of overtime. I didn't think much of it, I didn't even post it on my time sheet BUT 2 department heads and 3 supervisors ended up pulling each of us into various offices, turning a small issue into an avalanche of isht :/ So, Thursday was a very nasty day with everyone pointing fingers and acting ridiculous, with me caught in the middle for doing no more than waiting for a replacement. I didn't fare well because I absolutely hate the stress of such stupidity.

I had an unrelated appointment with my doctor Friday and wasn't feeling up to more than sleeping my weekend away and trying to forget work. I told my doctor about another appointment I have next month and explained my anxiety, stress, and inability to just let it all go and move forward. We talked my entire appointment and she decided to give me a prescription. So, I got done there and forced myself to go get the new prescription filled and went grocery shopping, which I hate to do these days. The number of rude people, the crazy traffic, and clogged streets usually has me making lists for Tommy or buying items online in bulk. Anyway, I came home and gave Emmy her hour long walk since I had to cut her earlier walk short to make my appointment and I took one of these pills. Afterwards, I raced back out, got a hair cut with an auburn dye done and then came home to do many, many other things =]

I've been a virtual hermit save for work, I spend everything I can on 'that special mod or topper or juice' that will be PERFECT for getting me off of the smokes for good, and this weekend I have broken out of this mold =] My doctor did ask if I was spending heavily LOL I said, of course, I spend 1000s on vape gear [which had to be explained]! I got a new car last week because I didn't want to get my car fixed :p So, in the AM I was fretting over grocery store mobs and traffic and by 4PM I was driving through the WORST after work/after class traffic I have ever been in, 4 lanes packed for blocks, students racing across streets, and you know what? I was fine =] Not anxious, edgy, cursing, or feeling terrified at all =] One hour after I was going to get a haircut and dye and 4 hours later [my Goodness the girl took FOUR HOURS on my hair!] I was already less anxious =] I did get sick after the first 4 hours after taking the new med because I hadn't eaten. For three hours I was praying to the porcelain God, but TODAY I ate a bit of cereal first =] So, I was a bit shocked at this change and wonder if I am a hypochondriac LOL Pop a pill and can suddenly go out and about with ease o_O Functioning very well, thinking of doing things I hadn't done in years, wondering how I came to change so drastically!

Regardless, I have many breakfast items ready for the coming weeks, which I don't usually do, but must now :p Specifically made, was something called 'Summer Porridge' or 'Refrigerator Oatmeal'. A bit of oatmeal [yuck], cinnamon, yogurt, milk, chia seeds, and varied bits of fruit =] The chia seeds and oatmeal are supposed to swell with milk and yogurt. Anyway, I was thinking about you Brits when I read 'Summer Porridge' :p I have never heard oatmeal called porridge, but I am looking forward to it! And if it's not appetizing, I'll add some homemade bran granola to it. Have to watch the cholesterol, overweight with high cholesterol! That's me! :p

Next on my plate is some property that I have been ignoring for a long while :/ Three virgin wooded acres that I bought years ago to sell but never got around to. Well, a sale fell through years ago and I was dealing with other things, so I ignored it. I've offered it to one of my friends, a young man that I've known for several years that is on the cusp of getting engaged. I sent him the survey, pictures, a map, and phone numbers to call and get a running total for taxes and neighborhood association dues. Hopefully he'll like it as a weekend place to camp at, take pictures on [he's a budding photographer and has a wedding portrait business on the side], or perhaps he'll build on it in years to come =] If he is interested, then I will just do a quit claim deed if he'll cover the taxes and dues for the year, and then I can move on to other things. I've already gathered my maps and notes to begin searching for another property to use as a weekend getaway location, talked to Tommy about going to look at new properties, putting up a small cabin, and taking Emmy out to chase deer LOL After that I'll start thinking about looking for a little house here in the city proper instead of hiding in an apartment :p

As far as FastTech goes, I ordered this bit with some Gift Certificates I had:

Anyway, just wanting to catch up you yous guys and poke fun about 'porridge' :p

i would ian the best things are always worth waiting for and you can always tell terry it is coming by fasttech:laugh::evil: post :evil:

Yeah mate, he might get it for Easter then :laugh:

Better news on the blackcurrant today, it does taste a bit more mellow. It's probably the new atty I put in the Vmod, it does take a couple of ml to settle down. Think I'll still try the 5% mix first though as a comparison.

Thought you'd deserted us Lisa ;)

It's good to see you back here :D

Sounds like a really stressful time, with work at the moment. You shouldn't have to go through a forensic enquiry every time you do them a favour and stay behind late, cos someone else can't get to work on time. At my place, we just fill in a simple form to claim the overtime back. Guess this is a good thing, as we're always running late, due to traffic or dithering passengers :laugh:

Porridge, is really a Scottish thing. It's pretty straightforward to make though, it's basically just ground up oats. The Scottish way to eat it is with a bit of salt and water added - plus a dash of milk.

Us Brits tend to have it with hot milk and a bit of sugar or honey. If I have porridge, I like it with half milk, half water, a little bit of honey and some fruit (raisins or banana). It's really what you add to the basic porridge that livens it up.

Didn't realise you were a land owner Lisa. We'll have to start calling you Lady Lisa :laugh: Most people that own land in the UK are Lords or Ladies. The only lands I own are the small gardens linked to my house ;)

It does sound like the new pills are helping though. If it makes life less stressful and easier to cope, then that's got to be a good thing. Plus if they keep you off the stinkies that's better still. Must admit, I kept on spending for a while, chasing the perfect vape. But I've now realised I'm happy with my current set-ups. So I just need to slow down the spending, until the next super duper mod or topper comes along. Most vape gear at the moment, seems to be exactly the same, but with a slightly different look - if you look under the skin they all work the same way :)

I've been keeping up with the thread, just not much to add to the conversations =] Land is not so expensive if you know where to look. Especially in a state as large as Texas. I've got a good selection of mods and toppers, although I keep breaking the glass on my toppers :/ Darned irritating... I've been sticking to eGos and simple toppers lately, just a lazy time for me. I've gotten on a list for a Dibi, which is a larger purchase, but just like you, I'm pretty much set for gear. If anything, I am hunting for the perfect juice. I've been stalking the high end juice companies and watching for sales. As far as smoking, I'll give the meds a bit of time to get into my system and then I'll quit cold turkey - or at least try to.
