Are you done stocking up?

[zoiDman]

That looks hefty, lol. Does it bother you that it's raised up like that? I feel like you'd almost have to have your arms held up to play around on that.

It's a Build Stand. It Isn't meant to be put on a mod.

One side has a 510 Threaded Hole so you can use it to Pull rba Covers Off. It's also nice to have the Atomizer attached so you can pick it up during a Build to do things without the Atomizer falling off.

The Other side is a Non-Threaded Hole for Quick n' Dirty placing of an Atomizer.

Heft is Good in a Build Stand. So is Distance from the Base of the Stand to the Top where the Atomizer is attached.

Whew! this thread is straying all over the place good thing I am already stocked up

well I'm talking about everyone born from about 1998 on. Everyone who is going through the school system now..which will be short lived. As an educator, I witnessed first hand what the Federal/State Governments were very purposefully doing to our entire educational system. Those of us who know some things....are older....we are almost the only ones left that truly understand the impact the internet has had on the lives of children....hell I even hate it. Not to mention adults who can't have a conversation without checking their phone. We also know exactly what is going on in this country right now in regards to healthcare/social credit. Hope you know what time it is. The days where you'd go out...someone would catch your eye....eventually have a conversation....maybe an evolution from there or not....HAVE BEEN GONE FOR A LONG TIME.

Nah, I get what it is. It just seems to raise the build deck a bit higher than the one I use. I was just wondering if it forced you to hold your arms in the air vs. being able to rest the side of your palms on the table or desk to do stuff that might require a more steadier hand.

40mm isn't that bad I suppose - about an inch and a half.

I find the Height to be a Big Plus. Makes it Easier when Trimming Wicks or Straightening Coils. Probably Don't want it Too Much Higher. 40mm/1.5" seems about Right.

The Main Thing about this type of Stand is the Weight. SS makes it Heavy. So it Doesn't want to Fall Over.

Yeah, I can see that. I could have my bro mill some of those at his work for probably nothing, lol. Definitely wouldn't look finished like that though.

sorry...but if you read the previous posts....you'll see why this was said. The restrictions and changes taking place most DEFINITELY apply to such personal freedoms as VAPING.

Still, it's the wrong thread for this, even if you use your cap lock... Plenty of other areas on this forum to voice your opinions, the Outside comes to mind. This thread has been around and popular since 2016 and I would dearly hate to see it shut down for going off topic.

Not really sure. I’ve gotten her a couple starter kits but she just never would give it a real try.

The day my friend said "here, try this", and stuck his vape in my mouth, I was interested, but I told him not to spend money getting me a kit, that it had to be my decision. When I bought the starter kit, I found it was surprisingly tricky to learn how to inhale a vape. In a way I can't describe to this day, it was different than inhaling a cigarette.

What I want to suggest is an old fashioned bribe. Offer Mrs. a hundred dollars to spend one day learning how to inhale the vape, and make sure she likes the taste of the liquid. Win or lose, must try for a day, and smoking still allowed during that day, 100.00.

I found it was surprisingly tricky to learn how to inhale a vape. In a way I can't describe to this day, it was different than inhaling a cigarette.

And about 50 years ago I found it not so tricky to stop inhaling tobacco completely - Sure vape is much less toxic than any lit form of tobacco, but it is still not fresh air, there are some trace amounts of stuff your lungs don't need - And if vaping makes many peoples mouth dry, including mine sometimes, why would you want to do anything that even may be harmful to you lungs, especially in the age of Covid?

Again after having smoked almost all and every legal tobacco product there is and with all the main ways of so doiing {cigarettes, cigars, pipes} - Two things immediately attracted me to vaping: 1. You don't have to keep relighting it like a cigar or pipe and 2. Vaping, is not only safer, but is also the most versatile tobacco/nicotine device ever invented.

When I switched to vaping completely over two years ago I was only smoking cigars and pipes, and had already quit my roll your own cigarillos years before. Right away I noticed how easy it was to puff on my vape device, like a pipe or cigar, without any need to inhale - Sure you may be doing a lot more puffing than you would if you were inhaling, but theoretically it should be safer - And I like the idea of always having a vape pen in my hand and puffing when ever I get the urge. - And people who want more nicotine can always use higher wattage devices and/or greater concentration of nicotine liquids - So why inhale at all ?

Other cigarette smokers who I convinced to try vaping told me the same story about finding it too rough on the throat - Of course vape devices have improved and low wattage pen device with a low nicotine base should be easy for even an ex cigarette smoker to get used to - Assuming the government doesn't regulate these devices and liquids out of existence, we should still keep trying to get smokers to kick that bad habit for the much safer vaping alternative - A lot of lives may be saved !!!

without any need to inhale -

It's an argument you can deliver to hittman if you want. He's the one who is trying to convince his life partner to join him in being freed from cigarettes by vaping.

We all are different. When I was trying to decide whether or not to spend for a starter kit, I found a YouTube channel with a title something like "Vaping 101" or "Vaping for Beginners" by a wonderful, attractive Canadian YouTuber, using great music intros, demonstrating equipment, talking about liquids, how to choose your nic level, how to store the liquids, everything, all of it, all happy and positive. I just looked, and if his vids are still up, I can't find them. He spoke, at one point, of how you take in the nicotine easily via your oral and nasal tissues, so if you just take mouth hits, or shallow inhale and let it drift out your nose, it might be your preference.

So I bought the starter kit and some eliquid, and started lurking on this forum constantly. I wanted to be like these people, talking about "chain vaping", the flavors, the equipment, the ANTZ, using their casual slang, like "atties" and "cartos".

But Mrs. hittman might be someone who isn't interested in forums, videos, reviews, someone who can't believe anything can really free her from the powerful demon tobacco. I'm just suggesting the bribe so she'll spend a day trying the vape he's already bought for her. Hopeful or not? Dunno. I know other couples in which one smokes, one vapes.

Sigh. I always write too much.

I'm convinced its not just tobacco or nicotine - Seems that many cigarette addicts are addicted {or habituated} to something else - Maybe some people have a death wish {Freud said we all have a life wish and a death wish} and maybe the fact that cigarettes are more dangerous appeals to some inner psychological demon. Or maybe its simpler - maybe its the toxic chemicals in cigarettes that adds to the taste appeal - After all no vape product really tastes just like a cigarette. Or, maybe the high tech nature of vaping that turns many of us on
- does the opposite to others, maybe they just like he idea of having a burning objects in their hands ?

Bribery is pointless. Her name is on every account we have so if she wants to go buy something then she can.

I've accumulated enough hardware that I could open a vape store and I would gladly let her take her pick. She just has to hit the point where she's ready to make a change. Trying to force feed it to her isn't going to do any good.

And don't forget the negative image given to vaping by the main stream news media {bought and paid for, some actually owned by Michael Bloomberg} - 'They' have spent much money and effort to convince John Q Public that vaping is as dangerous, if not more so, than cigarettes.
Remember your wives and relatives also listen to the news - When is the last time you heard them say anything good about vaping and harm reduction? - But the negative vape add you hear daily.

I could be wrong and I'm too lazy to go back and read past posts, but I believe it's his wife, not his "life partner".
