2/22 entry 2

I'd like to get one of these new coil building things and this coil master looks good. Good to know you are liking it. I use very thin 32g wire (because I got a ton of it before I knew that thicker was better) so I hope that these can do a good job with it. When I make my coils for protanks, I try to make a bunch at a time because I know I'll be happy I did later! This would make it easier to do a bulk amount for future use so I'll likely get one.

Anyone use the thin wire on these successfully?

So far 28 is the only size I've tried on it - that's the smallest I have. Got some 26 and 24 that I'll eventually put on there.
Now I need to go back and find that tension thing video I spotted earlier.

Thanks Deb. I think I was in the middle of my scroll back when you posted that - might have been quicker finding it if I had waited on you.

The forum is a dangerous place - always finding new stuff I want.
That artistic coiler thing is cool. I could make one but buying the parts here would probably cost me more the just ordering one - Japanese hardware stores aren't cheap. Plus I might not be able to find all the different size rods.
Already knew about tension making a better coil but that thing makes it easier to keep the tension on - don't need the fishing set up for it though. But I do have more than enough rods/reels to be able to make a couple.
The only thing I don't like about the artistic rig is the size - a bit bulky for storing.
Think I'll hold off on buying one of these for now.

Yeah, I figured I was a bit too late, but posted in case something else ....... look squirrel!!!....... had caught your attn. lol also for any others so they wouldn't have to scroll back. Yeah.....I live at my SIL's house and basically have a corner in the living room and a box in the bedroom for all my stuff that I use. Not sure where I'm gonna put it, but I'll come up with something.

Kathy quote: Yeah, the Subtank is a great device if you're new to vaping, because it works great with the stock coils, but has the option for rebuilding.

Once you're more comfortable with rebuilding and battery safety and ohms law and stuff, then you can get a Kryptonite for the "cool factor"!


:::scratches head::: Why is it harder to resist new vape stuff than wanting a cig now?

Congrats on one month, that's a big milestone. It's probably bigger than one year, because going without a cig in the first few weeks is more difficult than it is later. Once you've been without a cig for a year, your mind already knows you won't ever need one again!

BY the way, the only question that has to be answered every day is the store link or what you wish was in there. After that, you can just talk about vaping or comment on someone else's post to count. That way you don't have to answer the same questions every day for a week! :)

Seen some talk about the plastic/glass tanks.
When I started I got a few plastic ones cause they were cheaper. Had also splurged and got 1 glass tank. Then I learned about tank cracker juices - luckily I hadn't put any in the plastic tanks. Since then I've bought only glass. I have a couple RBAs that came with both plastic and steel - the plastic parts have never been used - wish they had glass so I could easily see how much juice was left in them.

I had my first plastic tank crack on me the other day, it will be the last, I am replacing all my plastic with the glass ones.

Never had one crack on me fortunately, and I vape almost nothing but fruity juices. What did you put in it? I do have a glass one now though.

just a question for all entered in the contest do you experience other vendors, ecf or elsewhere that interact with customers, fellow vapers or customers to the degree that I would like to think that I do? just curious

2/23 #5

Locally I have 3 vendors close to home, they are like the story of the 3 bears and porridge. Online I have "met" some of the nicest people willing to help out other vapers that it has been a refreshing experience. About half of the contests and rooms have great to decent interaction form the vendors. This is clearly one of the best because of the interaction. To me, this interaction breeds education. As a newbie I am learning faster than I am progressing, but finally content with where I am and the possible directions vape offers. Thanks!

Squirrel!!

Storage of all the gear just keeps getting to be a bigger issue. Already got it in 3 places around the house. Then there's the bag for the stuff that get hauled daily. Plus I keep some things at the office. Need to clear an area to make a decent work/storage space.

Getting to be time for me to unplug for the night.
And catch up tomorrow with another 200 or 300 posts.

I am not so fond of vanilla custards, but love some eggy ones. I haven't looked into flavorings much, is the Cap V1 one of the ones without all the bad stuff in it? Diaca ever how ya spell it? lol I know I need some Capella apple pie and green apple.

that sounds cute! Any chance of a pic????

Hi Deb, the CAP V1 flavors have things like Diacetyl and acetoin, and the V2 flavors don't.

My chest of Kanger drawers is at my mother's, but here's a similar one I made from little match boxes.

matchbox.jpg

I didn't decorate the Kanger one like this, the one in the photo is part of another project. I've also done some with the larger boxes with kitchen matches in them. Some of them have two or three stacks of three or four, and the stacks are glued together side by side, so they are three or four high, and two or three wide, if that makes sense.

Anyway, if anyone wants to make inexpensive chests of drawers for your vaping supplies, save all your sliding boxes, they work great, especially the Kanger boxes!

Wow, I am really impressed with your artistic talents. That looks super professional...so well done! I have a million sliding boxes but I wouldn't dare try, just not in my wheel house. Can't even cut paper in a straight line! As some here may know, my vaping supplies are mostly housed in old wood cigar boxes. They work great for juice bottles!

I've had a few plastic tanks crack and break....it was from physical trauma, not the flavor of juice...:blush:
I like the idea of glass tanks, but fear they wouldn't be very practicable for me.... :closedeyes:

That's cute! I've done some of those with the matchboxes, but don't think I got them uploaded. Hope this link works, you might be interested in my gallery on stampin addicts. I haven't been active on there for the last couple years since I had to stop being a demo and put all my stamp stuff in storage, but seems like maybe we share a hobby somewhat.

and thanks for letting me know about the V1.
