Has anyone else taken ECF's survey?

One of the questions was how much do you spend a month on juice and cartos. If I divide the cost of juice per month then it's about 22 dollars + about 5 cartos so I'm rounding it out to about $27/month (not withstanding duds! :laugh:) for juice and cartos :)

Those of us who use lots of different juices probably spend a bit more. I've stopped outfitting multiple PVs and just change PVs if I want to whenever I change a carto :laugh:

Another question was how much have you spent on PVs! I didn't want to go there :lol:

Yeah, I did that survey. It was painful when I started thinking about how much I'd spent on PVs :lol: Juice and accessories I estimated about $100 per month. My monthly costs vary a lot, but I think that's a good accurate average considering I'm always trying new juices and attys etc . . . though I didn't take into account my Trippy purchases, probably 2/month if I averaged them over the last year, so that would drive my accessories cost up a bit :p

As much as I like the size factor of an 18350 PV, I rarely use anything that small unless it's just for a short jaunt out of the house so I don't need to carry too many batts. I need two 18650s for a full day in most cases, I can even drain the 26650 in the Bombshell in 10 hours or so depending on what I've got running on top. 1-ish ohm coils really drain them fast ;-) My Darwin and VVPV will go almost all day on a charge, but I stick to 2-3 ohm stuff on those in the 6-8 watt range, mostly

Good afternoon Merry Tripsters !!!


Yes I promised and I apologize for taking soooo long. A combination of exhaustion, bad lighting and slothfulness due to...... exhaustion :)


I have been trying to capture this tip and I finally caught something worth posting......




I introduce . . . . ... . THE NICKY TIP !!!








This is how it all started, don't laugh at the double glasses, can't see in the flame without the polarized lens.....
... can't see sheeet without my glasses :pervy:




Before you get too excited (... and Yes, I know you are all every excited) here was my first attempt last year :facepalm:

It's called The Wharf Marble ... Lump !!!





Now here was my hope when Bert and I got together to manifest my vision. He gave me a quick tutorial on how to do it and he plucked from my minds eye this Trippy Tip !!!

I am calling this Artglass SYF (Steal Your Face)

Howdy Trippyville,
I hope everyone is well on this flyby. The wife and I are hanging with our homies down here in Daytona Beach, FLA. Doing Rock Shrimp tomorrow and then we hope the weather will turn up the heat. Been a little chilly the past 2 days. I haven't caught up on the past 30 pages and that may be something I do when I get home. Brought a bunch of my Trippies with me so I'm vaping in style. Talk to all yall later. Brew

OK.... OK, the Nicky Tip may be an itsy bitsy misleading :unsure:


So last year when I made the Lump, I watched Bert make the Artglass and then the donut (not me Delilah :() I thought that's easy !!! Well just 'cause the master goes Zip Bam Poof... Raw clear tube to WOW SYF Donut... does not make it so. Damn if Bert just makes it look so effortless.

So while Bert and Horseman were chating I thought I'll show Bert how good I AM !!! Well I got the Artglass ok, then I started to lose it and I decided I was going to put a twist in it and in seconds I'd invented the ...... Wharf Lump :(


Well this time Bert supervised (now let me say for the golfers out there, once you miss a 2 foot putt, 18 inches starts to freak you out !!! So I was worried about making another Lump) Bert told me when it was not hot enough or too hot. When to blow on the bulb pointing down or pointing up..... OOOH !!! The coolest thing, The glass sings to you :) I kept hearing this sound when blowing the glass and Bert said "hear it sing to you ?" I don't think he said Sing but that is what it sounded like to me... "Jerry was that you ?" (sorry GD flashback moment)

Anyway, several times I thought I was going to ruin it (damn 2 footers) and told him to take over and Bert coached me through it. Thank You BERT !!!

After I got the glass how I wanted, Bert took over and shaped the Peanut. Next time I'm... well who knows :)

Good morning everyone! It's Monday and high time to get back in the swing of things at TrippyTips HQ. Brew I hope you all have fun in FL! Wharf, be reassured that you weren't having a flashback. I totally said the glass was singing to you. There's really no better way I can describe it... Sometimes stream gets trapped in a sealed bubble and when you heat it up the molecules get very excited and bounce around inside causing the glass to sing to you. I will see if I can make a video next time it happens.
Hope you all have a beautiful start to your Monday!
-Bert
