fasttech sells the tiny screws used for trapping wire on build decks. Seems prudent to have some including for replacing screws before the head might strip. Has anyone bought these and may be know which ones are most commonly used? So far I haven't found an assortment being offered.
FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics

These are the ones I use for KFL and Lemo. SS narrow cheese head slotted screws, M1.6 x 0.35mm, 3mm long.

McMaster Carr part # 91800A003

I'm sure some decks need different screws but this is a common size. A pack of 10 is pretty cheap so if you can't find the size for your tank it wouldn't cost much to find out if this one is right.

The underside of the head is flat rather than rounded like a lot of the screws that come with decks, which makes it easier to trap the wire.

Thanks, I'll look for that size on FT and try to toss them in with the next order. I could get screws anytime in the future but it would be nice to have spares for wear and tear and especially if they are higher quality than most of the originals.

I sort of imagine if an inhalant were truly terrible or one were allergic, one might find out sooner rather than later, to be honest. I think the amount and all is so small....

Oh well, if 40 years from now they find damage, I will be in my 80s. I was getting COPD in my early 40s. My lungs are doing NOTHING but impressing my doctors more and more. They freaking... REFUSED to give me the pneumonia vaccine (that PO'd me) but they were like, "You don't smoke anymore, your lungs are improving, you are too young, you don't meet criteria and your insurance might not pay for it."

I am thinking of paying for it out of pocket. If there is one thing I hate in this world anymore, it's pneumonia. 18 straight months of it will do that to a person..

I almost said, "I vape, does that count?" I mean my old docs knew, but somehow, I don't want to pollute my new medical health record. So I never mention it because I also do not enjoy ARGUING with my docs, I prefer to save that for meds.

Done stocking up. Got 115 (ETA 20, that would be insane even for me) more doggy topfill tanks. They are strangely fragile wen dropped compared to the orginal bottom fill ones.

And yeah, the topfill is handy but I also like, am vain and prefer the "look" of the top fill doggy. I am putting vape bands on EVERYTHING now. It can't hurt. Really. I need to think about my Long Game. Need some Rose V3 tanks but I can only find them on the Fumytech site and shipping is obscene but I MUST vape those tanks for the remainder of my days,.... Maybe next paycheck. Sigh. I WISH these dang high end manufacturers would do like Zen and include a piece of SOME sort of PLASTIC as a back up to their glass tank. The Kabuki has a quartz glass tank though, I believe I broke it the first time I filled it.. But that would be SO MUCH more appealing to me as a back up tank.

Also got two Cylons off FT because they were cheap and I LOVE that vape. My second one died after like 2.5 years of heavy use (daily) and now I have screws to fit and fix the one I gave up on because the top was getting wriggly .So I may not need them for a bit, but I have always wanted a Cylon (the robot kind) to do my bidding anyway, and if I get 8 more years out of my Cylons, I will consider myself happy.

IDK what it IS with that mod, but it (for me) produces some of the best vane of all time for what it its. It's not THE best, but it is very distinctive in an awesome way (to me.) A cylon with a Siren V2 on top? Count me blissful.. Yeah, it has issues, and it is not a forever mod but it is also GREAT.

So stocking up on some wants, but a few more glass tanks and ALL will be MINE.

Is the top fill a totally different atty or a tank replacement? I have fallen in love with the doggy, even over my Dvarws

Almost done - waiting the final order from China with "Minifit's" & Pods (been 2 weeks so far) - however I do need a couple of "Doggies" . . . Anyone, know of or have a link to a inexpensive source where i could get them ? BTW: I want them for a XvoStick "mini cig" since I heard that they work much better then any other insertable tank . . . ;)

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the ones on FT seem to have heads with the rounded underside. The cheesehead screws at McM C are flatter. The bags on FT are very cheap though. You could get some of them to confirm the size. You could get some at McM later and see if they were better.

I DIY, but I broke down, with all the talk, and bought a bottle while it was on sale. I love lemon.
Anyway, I know everyone is trying to figure out the secret flavor that enhances the "pastry"
To me ... it is a touch of mild tobacco, like TFA Smooth, or FA Liquid Amber, maybe even TFA AP
I used to add a dab to the fruits, to give them body, and make them blend with other flavors, like creams, or pastries.
You don't actually taste any tobacco, but I detected the similarity the DL has to mixes I made using some tobacco flavoring.
Just an idea for those still trying to recreate the flavor.
A touch as in a drop for every 10 ml or ????

The ones I've checked are flat. I ordered a sampler, many of the sizes.

I've been using 1% Smooth in fruit for a while per a tip I read somewhere. It seems to improve fruit flavors. Couldn't say whether a different % would be better because I never experimented. My taste buds aren't that discerning anyway.

    I am actually thinking of selling a few things I don't care for, so am going thru things now to list :) so far I have 3 Doggies, the Boost and the Breeze 2 I am not really caring for. Think I'll hit classies unless someone wants to PM me about those :)
    Wasn't @Uncle Looking for doggies?
