I agree that ceramic is good, but neither of my ceramics has the thinness of the tweezer leg at the tip to slide under the wrap. If you can point me to a pair I'd appreciate it [emoji3]
I use this for getting the wrap off batteries, also works well to remove stubborn tank caps and drip tips.

May not be what you want, but it works for me. Kind of like a small utility knife blade. I can get it under the lip and run the blade up flat along the battery without scratching the metal casing. There are other variations, this just happened to be what I was familiar with from other applications

Yes which is why I buy battery wrappers in bulk on fasttech
Some of the newer batteries have much better wraps. All my old Samsungs and Sonys and LGs rip very easily- obviously they were never meant for use outside of a sealed battery pack and need re-wrapping often.(ever used a Therion DNA 75? Wow they tear the wraps!!). The Vapcells have a much stronger wrap that doesn't tear so easily but they don't seem any thicker. The little Basen Black 18500 has a similar strong wrap

well it alters the size of the battery so it might get stuck in some mods.
I agree but have you ever noticed that Daniel djLSB has a clear wrapper over his Sony batteries in some of his videos? Maybe there's a type of clear wrapper that helps as a second skin but doesnt make the battery too thick.

It is certainly possible. It is also true that some mods it wouldn't affect at all. SO it is a conditional

    Nice I have one of those coming in the mail in my newly purchased building kit!

    Not sure I'm going to put in this order for Subtanks. The site says free shipping at $30 USD if you have an account but I just made an account and they still want $32.62 for shipping. Still would be a decent price but not the steal I'm looking for. I also don't like this "Customs duties not included."

    Did you or anyone you know place an order here before @bsidb ?

    Yep which is why I am not getting them. No thanks on shipping as high as the subtanks

    I got some last year from her with the smaller diameter.
    It should show some on the "style" page if she still makes them.

    Looking through the FAQs it appeared to me 'regular' was .5 inches and if you selected the 'narrow' option it only reduced the size to .45 inches ... not that much, eh? But there are some nice choices in material for sure.

    Back in 1982 i paid $5 for 1 cup f coffee & no refill at CalNeva country club/casino,, even had a state line stripe on the floor for state laws,,, gambling.


    1999- I paid $5 at 'freinds (tv show) style' mom& pop coffee shop and $5 for a cookie,,, my husband thought that was outrageous,, I told him not really its my only waste of money-. He rethought his views
    Well, that puts things in perspective. $5 in 82, then $5 in 99, then $5 in 2019 (not quoted), it seems that the price of boutique coffee has stayed a contant despite economic chaos. Coffee for president, that's my vote. At least it's consistent and delivers on it's promises.

    Just in case Trump's flavor ban this week includes unflavored, I grabbed 2 more liters of 100mg. That makes 17.5 liters. I should be all set. I feel a little more comfortable now.

    FYI: That vapemag coupon code still works at heartlandvapes.com, works out to $42.74/liter or 4 for $40.84 each... plus free shipping over $50.

    Bottling the 15.5 that I have already is the plan for today (Monday), I got a can of Argon gas to use (I figured I am storing nic for 20-30 years and it's only $9.99, so why not?).

    I picked the shapes I like and wrote them down, also the size I wanted, then just did a search for colors I wanted, made it easy. I didn't get the extras, just the basics. Her tips are cheap compared to the Molehill Mt tips, so a good deal!
    Look up sculpey, cheap, always available post vapocalypse. Not sure if it's safe or not, but I've been trusting China all these years for what they described as acrylic, peek, pom, delrin, ss, glass, etc. with no independent lab analysis. Sculpey drip tips made circa 2012 pics provided.

    Well when I started doing it I didn't own either so I grabbed a cheap heat gun at walmart. I think it was like $12.

    FYI I have hair down to my .... so a blow dryer is more work than it is worth. LOL

    Hey, I have hair, I have a ...., but my hair is not down to my ..... Then again, hair down on my ...., might be a true statement. Does that count? Yes, before it's asked, I am shameless. And please don't ban me admin. Lol

    I tried it earlier tonight and it said, The coupon code "vapemag" is not a valid code. ;) I tried it with 3L in my cart and then with 5L. Nope...wouldn't work either time.

    ETA: Just now tried it a 3rd time. In a pink banner type of box at the top of the page, right under the words Shopping Cart, it says: "Coupon code "vapemag" is not valid."
