2/24 entry 2

Are you serious? You Macguyvered the jig out of mailbox parts and a fly swatter? That is outstanding Slowone2!!! You are making me look pretty wimpy for feeling like this is probably a project that is above my ability. Maybe I will rethink this and check out the video again. See if I can't surprise myself.
It's got me thinking about robbing my shop of a bunch of 90-degree hex wrenches to use as variable sized cranks.

Thanks, it's really fun! I can't believe tomorrow is the last day, because I don't want it to end! I've loved seeing old friends, and meeting and getting to know new ones so much!
Perhaps it shouldn't end. I mean y'all can't be giving away the store with a continuously run contest, but the exchange of info that's been started here should certainly go on... I've learned a lot, increased my own confidence level, made new friends...

I see everyone clamoring for the Subtank and they're right to do so. I love this tank!

This morning I pulled the 1.5 ohm single coils out (it's still fine, I just wanted to build something). I then slapped in a 32 g Kanthal A1 dual coil 1.7 ohm setup. It went in in half the time it took me to make a similar coil on the Rocket.

I wicked it with some Japanese organic cotton that came with the tank and I'm off.

I want another... a frickin' fleet of 'em!

I'll trade a Rocket...

I also want a Maraxus.

And a iStick 50 (but I'd settle for the 30).

And an Octopus RDA just because it would look really nice on my K100.

Nice coils!

The Kryptonite is much nicer than the Maraxus. Easier to fire, built better, more comfortable to hold, and just as good looking. I only take my Maraxus out to show it off. I seldom actually use it any more, but I do use the Kryptonite!

I think my biggest complaint about the iStick 50w is that, having spent a year with my MVP, I keep trying to fire the device with my thumb joint against the side. LOL. Good thing they included a lock feature.... I got a horrible burnt hit before I started using it because I had accidentally turned the wattage up to 26 from the 8.5 I had been using... :shock:
Haha! I hate burnt hits! Those burnt hitd feel like they light the mouth, throat, and lungs on fire! Then it has to come out so you get double take! Lol

At one time I was dieing to get the mvp 2.0 or shine, and I finally got the mvp 2.0 last month as a surprise from my bf :) . So, I have not wanted the shine like I used to, and I found out that it is pretty much the mvp except it is prettied up so I do not need 2 of them :) I got a pink sleeve for my mvp so it is prettied up now! :) I think the istick is probably a great mod :)

Yeah, the shine was pretty hot when it first came out, and everyone wanted it. Now everything has advanced so much! My MVP is just a plain black one. I put nail polish, filigrees and rhinestones on it to fancy it up.

I don't decorate my mods any more though.

Yeah, I'd like to see it keep going, but this thread is pretty much what we do on the home thread, only there aren't very many people on that one.

As of now, the first prize is:

An Eleaf iStick 20W with a choice of an Innokin I clear XI, the Mini protank 3, the Mini Aerotank, the iclear 30B or the iclear 30S. Or , the winner can choose a $20 store credit from Cactus E Smokes instead.

The second prize winner gets the iStick only. (That is, unless Bruce revises this in some way, it started out with much less)! :)

In the spirit of Redd's coil, a small literary interlude.....(aka - sea story)

Was watching an old Home Improvement episode today and was thinking,
MORE POWER!! MORE VOLTAGE!! NEW MOD NEEDED!!

So figured it had to be portable, with lots of power, so start with a nice V8 Hemi
packed into a nice car...good power and portable

Install an aux alternator with heavy wiring for a full 12 -14 volts to the passanger
compartment, first hurdle passed. Now need an atty to handle it, so guess I
don't need toast in the AM, and that wire in the toster looks just like an atty
coil heating up!! Found an old ceramic ashtray to wrap it around.....
(this is going easier than I thought!) :thumb:

OK now for a juice feeder, no cart or carto would wick fast enough!
So just take a a fuel injector nozzle and hook up a tube to feed the juice,
add an old A/C compressor to the engine to supply air to spray a mist, simple!!!

Dripping is a thing of the past, I'm way beyond that! Now for a juice supply....hmmm
OK, with a small trailer I can fit two 55gal drums (one PG one VG) with an adjustable
mixing valve, and flavor injector, (adjustable of course). A small garden hose
connection to my juice (fuel injector) and I'm ready for a test drive!!!
:vapor::vapor::vapor::vapor::vapor:

Local weathermen are reporting a sudden and unexplained fog bank that has rolled
into the area but I haven't seen it? Pictures to be posted soon.....:2cool:

Probably should take out a patent before the modders see this post.....

Still sticking to my 50/50 blends, but with the way the subtank works, I'm looking at reducing from 6 to 3 nic. When I got the subtank, I went from 18/24 to 6 overnight.

2/24...3

That's quite an accomplishment!!!! You don't crave nicotine since you dropped the level so fast? I am at 12mg and I don't think I will be going lower anytime soon. The guy at the vape shop gave me a 6mg to try but I haven't opened it up yet.

I thought the 2nd prize was "Another iStick20W" ???? :confused:

Now it's a "Istick Only"....... :?:

Oh wow Kathi! That is too cool! I forgot about the shine until someone posted it earlier, and I was like OMG all excited! Lol
