I think that's just wrong unless you're posting links. There's no immediate way to know that PowerBand runs Cactus Esmokes. As a vaper with access to more equipment and juices and great customer service skills, your input would be invaluable to noobs. Again, as long as you post no link...

Better yet, link to other vendor's sites a la Santa Claus in Miracle on 34th Street.

the mods monitor the threads for reg. suppliers more than you may know. (several have peeked in at this thread many times although you would never know it) and I cant post about any other vendors sites either nor can they mine. nothing stops you guys from pointing out my site though.

we have had a few poke in for a visit on the home thread. Dusty (hi Dusty) was the best though... Ha ha! Dusty

A funny vape story. Someone had started a thread over their problem. He got an ego with a top coil clearo and was complaining that it didn't work, and he was quite upset. He could hear it crackle, but he got no vapor, very little taste. Everyone chimed in with fixes and suggestions, running the whole gambit from changing the wick and coil head, checking for a block in the chimney, a short, wrong juice, not aligning with magnetic North, wrong equipment, shoulda bought a (fill in the blank), you name it, it was suggested.

But no success. He was so frustrated. He went back to the B&M and was ready to give the owner hell for selling him a piece of badger droppings. The owner looked at his rig, took a hit, and blew a perfect plume. He handed it back to our friend, who still couldn't get anything!!

The owner calmly had him move his fingers off of the 2 air holes at the base of the tank that he had been unknowingly covering to hit the button.

I give him props for sharing his solution with the forum.

Bahahaha! That is so funny! Definitely gets props for sharing!

Once a thread gets this big, go back the largest low page like below here that would be page 124 and click it, you will get new numbers of pages. Lets say, you want page 120, click on the 124 and page 120 will be listed. it took me awhile on the larger threads to figure that out...

or you can type in the number in the "jump to page" box

What is it with new bottles lately. I know some vendors changed to kid proof caps which is fine but you can't squeeze the liquid out...I have to use lone of ny grand kids medicine dispenser droppers which makes me take the little plastic tops off.

I don't like the juices that have those really hard plastic bottles with the dropper things you can't get off the tops of the bottles. I've gotten juice in them from several companies, and they are terrible!

There's another kind I don't like, in glass bottles with something called called Euro Droppers. I never did get the hang of those.

 

[powerband]

Nor subohming, but you're right. I'm running the Subtank around 1.2 - 1.5 on an iStick 20 set to around 8.3 w/3.8v

indeed many newer devices will give a more efficient delivery of nic

I've had all of those. I think I like the softer ones myself, but haven't had a problem with any of them. However, it does take a long time to fill a big tank with the Euro Dripper thing...

2.0 ohms to 2.4 ohms
I use my ego style batteries quite a bit. When i use my MVP 2.0 I set it at 3.7 v mostly. Those are just my personal favorites when I rebuild my own coils. Now, sometimes I will get something with 1.5ohm coils, and I adjust my voltage

looks like you are running in the 7 watt range for the most part with those volts and coil values

There's your problem, Shawn. The iStick 20w doesn't have step down, so if you are vaping at with a voltage set lower than the battery's, you're actually vaping higher than what your device is telling you (probably closer to 4.2 volts). This problem was fixed with the 30w and 50w.

 

[powerband]

No, I used the video camera on my tablet. Every time I try to upload it on the forum or the tapatalk app I get completely knocked off on both.

like stosh or count said, upload it to you tube or something and post the link or use the little ^ video Icon abvove ^

Not a problem. I knew it runs hot.

I don't think ECF can handle a direct upload of video. The storage requirements are far beyond the amount of space you are allocated to store attachments on the forum. You need to post it somewhere else and then provide the link to here.

Yeah, Dusty is really nice. He gives gentle hints and never gets nasty.

Hubby is finally home, there is a blockage in the artery in his neck

glad he is back!
blockage in the neck not good
did the ygive him meds for it? are they going to clear it or stint it? would think they would have done it already depending on the severity
best of luck to you both

The ones Bruce sells are soft and easy to squeeze, but the tips are small enough so you can even fill things like the Kayfun Lite with them.

I have some plastic bottles that are so stiff, it's hard to squeeze the liquid out. And others that are so soft, it's amazing they don't break or dissolve.

But I have these 7ml plastic bottles with a straight part near the top that traps the last bit of juice, and no amount of shaking, twirling or cussing can get it out. An eyedropper won't fit into the neck, and I want my last couple of drops!!!

yes they gave him some meds, and we have to follow up with his dr next week to go from there

 

[powerband]

I remember that night he was on our thread and I was telling him to go ahead and look at my hand slaps in my profile and he came back and said I had been very naughty Ha Ha!
I remember we were discussing how you couldnt use the word for the short version of Richard (....) < see ha Ha! w/o it being deleted by the system and there were a few comments from Tick and we were saying he was going to get a slap for it and a few hours later there was Dusty...

 

[kathi17]

Does it look like the Sigelei Mini 30 Watt are going to be in tomorrow Bruce? If I don't get a chance to order them until day after tomorrow, because they don't get in until late or something, make sure you save me one, I'll order it Thursday morning, along with some other stuff!!!

 

[CountBoredom]

Not a problem. I knew it runs hot.

The "running hot" mostly refers to the fact that it uses Mean PWM rather than RMS PWM. This results in 8 watts on the iStick 20w being hotter than 8 watts on a device using RMS or a flat DC signal. Without step down, however, your 3.8 volts is really 4.2 volts without your device telling you. In essence, when you are vaping with a newly charged battery, your 1.2 - 1.5 ohm coils are giving you 11.8 - 14.7 watts.

May not be a problem, but it won't help someone with a different device.
