Are YOU a Tootle Puffer??

[DingerCPA]

It says it's discontinued, and it's out of stock, so I don't suppose they'll be getting more... and it's 29mm... guess it's meant for a 26650 mod. Pretty though!

Andria

Yeah, dang it - I just noticed that too

once you've got gas you can't go back! oh wait..that didn't come out right

oh and came across this lil funny

there's a bunch of them..

Leave it to humans to take an activity..give it lables, sub groups..etc *lol*

I had to pass on the 20w iStick because it won't step down, a bad thing for most tootle puffers -- but I've got a 30w iStick on the way! Because it really will allow the low wattage vaping I demand!

I even considered the 50w just because of the 4400 mAh, but that seems like wayyyyyyy overkill for a 10w vaper. My efest 2000 and 2250 mAh batteries last me just about a full day, so the 30w's 2200 mAh should do me fine.

Hey Adria..yeah I've got my 30 on 2 something right now *lol*

yah have crapped out lungs you can't help but be a Tootle Puffer *lol*

I have installed a few of the new On demand water heaters and really like them! They have two draw backs though, one they do not produce VERY hot water if you are the type that likes a shower that scalds the top layer of epidermis off and two they defiantly require a dedicated circuit of wire the size of your wrist!

And if you go on demand gas, they require special venting.... Which is more expensive of course
They are a nice idea though.

I like the idea of point of use water heaters... More efficient to heat 10 gallons vs. 50

Amen.... Sadly no gas service in the boonies, so my stove is propane. Lived in a place with an electric one for a while......freaking hated it. Baking in an electric convection oven is nice, but the range absolutely has to have flame

You will find you get even more life out of the 2200 mah li-pol in the istick then you do out of any 18650.... You will probably see 2+ days

That's what I like about electrics instead of the gas ones, most electrics are actually 2 tanks, a 10gal quick-return and the big tank at the usual speed -- it really speeds up the arrival of the hot water to the tap, and saves water.

I don't believe mine is two tanks... As it only has one heating element.
There are benefits to electric... Heating element is easier to replace then a burnt out thermal coupler for example, but they ARE more expensive to run.....a thing to consider

I actually first learned to cook on a gas stove, rural town where we had that LP gas. But after that, all electric till we bought this house and got that ancient gas stove... I HATED it, smelly old thing. We replaced it with the absolute cheapest electric we could find, $160 no-frills at Sears Outlet.. And my cooking has gone back to superb since buying that el cheapo electric! I actually like that you can turn off the element when something is *nearly* done, and let it finish with the residual heat from the electric elements. Cooking pudding or grits or gravy, good way to get them to thicken *slowly* instead of turning into lumps!

Ah, I'll definitely be insisting on the 2-tank/2-element kind; we had that in our last apartment, only a 25 gal tank for 3 people, and it was awesome (though granted one of those 3 was a boy child who considered washing-up "cruel and unusual punishment" ).

A 220 breaker is no biggie to put in. 220 is just 2 110s and a ground. The wiring is the costly part.

The reason I didn't get into high voltage vaping or cloud chasing, whatever name you put on it is a little later they'll come up with a new latest and greatest. I've watched this industry grow and it seems there's always a new latest and greatest {{{BUT}}} tootle puffers have been there since day 1.
Pretty soon they probably won't have coils. Just an injected mist that is sprayed directly into a microwavable chamber that creates the vapor you inhale. I have tossed out or given away too many old latest and greatest that are old hat. My first mod was a beta for testing and it still tootle puffs if I was to use it.

In all my years (54 of um) I have never seen a dual tank single housing water heater, but that doesn't by any means mean that varmint doesn't exist. You have the cat dying and even a quick googling provides nothing to cure his curiosity.

this is the kind of stuff you see overseas...very scary!

Gas = instant heat and instant stop cooking, Electric = warmup period and continues to cook after switched off for a short period. A learning curve granted. However being a fireman since age 14 (youngest volunteer in our state) I am a staunch total electric advocate, not that they have not also been responsible for fires. just far fewer and usually the ID 10 T error was involved, and never have I seen a house blown off it's foundation by an electric appliance.

Is that one of those new nuclear units? Or is that just a guaranteed cold shower?

I'm surprised the SSC hasn't already herded you towards them!

Though electricity is about as analog as it gets, I like that an electric thing either works or doesn't, is either off or on, none of that partial-combustion business you get with flaky gas appliances. I called the gas co when I started smelling that, they sent someone out within an hour to have a look, and left one of those bright yellow hazard things on it, which of course I read, and looked up some of the words and terms I didn't understand -- how appalling!

Of course anything electrical is dependant on the safety of the wiring, of itself and the bldg it's in, but if that aspect is sound, i FARRRRRRR prefer the safety of electric vs. gas appliances.

And peace, love, and good karma to you and all your firefighter brethren!!!

Disregard. You're fine. Rolygate had a senior moment.
