Lol. On the other hand I suffer from laziness disorder.
I label my juices 3 or 12 mg and then put them in a tank or dripper and then guess the flavour. If it's nice it becomes a good but distant memory because I'll write nothing more than 3/12 mg o_O
the laziness is too much to bear sometimes but I can't help it. :(

I won't do that with my DIY stuffs - after they're mixed, yeah, all bets are off :)

Rats first time I laid my nautilus on it's side half my juice leaked out! ACK, will be sure to keep its head up from now on.

When I bought my first one at a local shop they told me to keep it standing. My house mate always lays hers on the side and says it never leaks. I also fill it to the max to be sure she can get thru a day. Now I replaced the glass tanks and top bell caps from the originals with the smaller hollowed out cages that only hold 4 or 4.5 ml so they are more durable, less prone to leaking and less tippy since they are shorter.... and less likely to get bent or bend the base I hope. I forget who linked me to those cages but I bought 8 @ $2 each and wish I had bought more. I have 10 new nauti bases en route from FT and will probably buy a few more as well.

    Well my be Kabuki clone must have a faulty coil, I took off drip tip and fired a couple times to see what was up and like fireworks hot streams of juice flew out the hole ! Yikes glad it wasn't my mouth!
    I got mine today also. What a disappointment. I had ordered 3(one of each of the colors) and only the blue/black tank works.
    Neither the pink/black or the yellow/black tanks will fire. I have tried 3 different coil heads in each, and have tried them on 3 different mods. They just plain do not work.
    Put in request for return/replacement with fleabay. AT least the purchase is protected(somewhat)

    The only thing I've left on it's side since cig-a-likes is my NEbox. I thought they all leaked when left on their side. I walk around paranoid my STM is going to tip over in my pocket.

    I think the STMs are pretty leak resistant but I don't carry mine so it doesn't spend any time on it's side. The only tanks of mine I am sure don't ever leak are my cubis and cubis pro so those are my go to travelers.

    stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
    ecig does bluecheck so they are off my shopping list unless absolutely necessary but thanks anyway. Was it maybe you that gave me this link for the $2 hollowed out sleeves - NAUTILUS HOLLOWED OUT SLEEVE
    I like the sleeves,, but i use a Griffin & Avocado (clones) so I figure those sleeves dont fit on mine......I currently use a 'very sturdy' a/c o-ring.. it works great,, but I would like something nicer.......so the hamster that powers my brain thought about buying size 13 rings,, like for your fingers.....I havent bought any yet.......just thinking about it. :)

    Fozzy,, shouldn't you join a sleeve a month program for your housemate :)

    Darn! I was hoping mine was just a coil, but it is not right either! My first one a pink and black works fabulous !

    i am using STM's most of the time these days on mechs and they rarely leak even with the RBA. A tiny bit out of the air holes from time to time, but not enough to worry about.

    Out of the 20+ different types of tanks I own, STM, Nautilus, Kayfun Lite+ and Triton Minis seem to be the most leak resistant....

    I have a bunch also. Have been slowing collecting them for years now. I found early on that putting the cages with the base is much cheaper than buying the whole kit. (and yes, it was me that linked the $2. ones.)

    And you can lay these on their side, I do all the time. I just take a little time when setting one up to make sure the coil is primed and the vacuum inside the tank is working good, then its good for a couple weeks(depending on juice).

    my weakness are atty's :)
    Mine too. I'm not very handy. But, I could certainly make a mod if I really had to. Not so sure about making my own atty though. So, after nic, my emphasis is atties.
    I hadn't calculated mine in quite a while. 49,275 cigs not smoked. This equates to $11,792. I have not spent near that on vaping...
    Since 2/27/2011, it's been 2001 days (5 years, 5 months, 3 weeks) since my last cigarette. That's over 80,000 cigarettes avoided and over $20,000 not spent on cigarettes
    You all make me feel lazy or something.. I have no packed bug out bag..
    I'm still trying to just get basically organized. But, come to think of it. separating items by what should be packed away and what should be kept handy might be helpful.
    ROFL.... Yeah, my juice flavors have to be grouped by type and then alphabetized within that :D :p
    The problem I have with organizing in such detail is that the bottles don't stay still. They turn instead of staying facing front. I need to either cut out some foam to help the bottles in position or get elastic bands to hold them in place.

    I love this post!!! I'd have loved to have seen all of those dolphins, and you described perfectly my first experience standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon!! It's been a few years ago, but it's just firmly etched in my mind.
    What a fabulous experience!!


    My nephew is a fishing guide in Alaska. The lodge where he guides out of posted theses whale pics earlier this year on their blog.

    WOW!! Those pics are amazing. That is on my bucket list. I would love to see whales in their natural habitat. I wish I could have gotten closer to the dolphins at the beach but I'm actually terrified of swimming in open water. :oops:

    Jaws did for me! LOL Have swam in the Chesapeake Bay years ago and got stung by a jelly fish, ouch! Also swam in the Ocean east and west coasts when I was younger. Caught red tide sickness in FL, arg, no fun! But I love water :)

    My mixing methods are probably limited to me - I doubt anyone else is this non-decisional about what they are going to vape.

    When I am ready to mix - I grab 4 or 5 bottles out of the box (without looking) and then say - well what can I come up with using these...:rolleyes::eek::w00t:

    So much for Paypal being anti Ecig....
    • Bought 2 Sigelei Vmax V5's on Ebay
    • Bought 5 EMOW'ish starter kits+coils on Fasttech
    (both above purchased with Paypal)

    While the 1st item is for me the second is extra stock for friends that are still smoking. I'll corner each one by one. I figure if they just have a kit and try it, they might make the switch.

    I have not ran into any age verification stuff yet but I've not ventured to far and wide.
