I think this one is supposed to be about DIY. Well.... only 7 more hours until my mail gets here (but who's counting) and I am expecting some contest juice. And since dogs were discussed yesterday...

Why does it seem that I get 3 day streaks of needing to charge batteries/devices?
They vary in mah, some get more use than others and it's not the same group that always needs recharging at the same time. I still have to recharge something every few days but it seems like about every 10 days or so I get a 3 day streak that a bunch (6-8).

My mail is the slowest I remember in my lifetime. I'm in south Florida and this past 6 months seems to be much slower and I don't think it has anything to do with my local post office. I have watched tracking from various parts of the country and, in general, it looks like it is a couple of days slower getting into my area from all over. Add to this my local sub-station routinely sends out packages on the wrong truck (usually to a similar zip code) and, well, things are very unreliable now.

Vape mail is the stuff that I look forward to, but the important bills and tax information type of stuff are things that really get me worried.

Hoping some vapemail shows up in the next couple days. Some of it was sent 2 weeks ago. Always takes at least a week for me to get anything (and that's the stuff that gets here quick).
I always laugh when I see people complaining that they didn't get their order in 3 or 4 days.

Wow, that is a great price! I am partial to one battery devices myself, with my favorite being the IPV 2x. I don't have any mini's and everyone loves their sigeleis...great deal! Might have to get this one.


I'm definitely going to order one of those if they come in tomorrow. Even though I like devices that take 2 18650s, the price on that one can't be beat!

That is awesome and I must say that I'm kind of jealous of "handy" people like you that can make stuff. I am the polar opposite!

Even though it looks like a fairly easy contraption to rig up, I know better than to attempt. That being said, I am happy with the coils that I am able to make right now, so I guess I should be happy with that and I'll keep using my drill bits :)


I was going to go buy parts to do it but when I looked at my old mailbox the pieces were right there. A dollar store fly swatter handle is almost perfect 5/64". It makes perfect tight coils every time. I've used single wire double wrap wire and triple wrap. You can't make a bad coil with tis even with a few drinks

I love the looks of those! I would not, however, test the patience of the local south Florida police around here by using one of those in public! I have "seen some stuff"!!

For use at home though, those look amazing! I have always wanted a pipe kind of vape mod too.

Ummm, OK, more likely close to the same age....:lol:...all the more reason to go with the crazy look...

Whenever possible try using your complete 9 digit zip-code.
I've found it's helped in speeding up my deliveries, (don't use it for bills..:laugh:)

I used drill bits until this, I found 8-10 or so wraps of medical tape around the side of the bit you hold made it a lot easier to use. Bigger for my swollen fingers lol
