On the subject of bottles....

Besides the hard plastic ones that are difficult to squeeze, what about the ones that are easy to squeeze but come with a tip that has a hole so small even a needle can't get through?

I've been cleaning and filling tanks and forgot that this one vendor that I ordered from uses these kind of tips. Such a pain to have to pry off the tip and get a dropper to use...

I normally just get a straight pin and push in a bigger hole or really make the original one bigger. I hate those one drop every 5 seconds.

I still have a ton that need to be rebuilt. I did take the Magma, the Lemo and the Orchid apart completely, and cleaned them thoroughly, a few hours ago, so at least they are ready to be rebuilt.

I am glad I am not the only one
A while back I cleaned my tanks up and rinsed the used coils and just put them in a little round plastic container I use to hold my used coils (I have 4 or 5 small round plastic containers that I put different parts in to store them) and then as I changed my coils I kept adding to it and forgot about them.

I've got a few here when you're done here. I've had luck with most that I've tackled, but the Kanger BDC are not cooperating...

Haha! I will get right on that!
I got 19 rebuilt, but then found even 4 more 2 of them were iclear 16s and I was having trouble with them, and had to stop! Lol

Then I would say the Flavor West Candy Cane and either a little menthol or Koolada... a drop or so at a time until you get it where you want. Maybe Candy Cane at 10-15% and then .5 or 1% Koolada and see what you think.

Awesome advice! Thank you! I have written it down and I will definitely give it a try.

Alright, dinner is ready for me...

When I first started there were no b&ms but a smoke shop where I bought my cigs had one kind. It was a cig like for over $50 and the cartridge lasted a day, 5 for like $15. I burned through two of them in no time at all cause they were cheap batteries. Got online and found ECF the rest is history.

Yeah, if it wasn't for ECF, I probably wouldn't still be vaping either. With only convenience stores and cigarette shops around here, I wouldn't have ever found anything decent.

I had a bottle the other day, I saved when I purchased eliquid from vendors, that I made the mistake of putting some diy eliquid in....I was squeezing as hard as I could and it was like drop...drop...drop...drop! I got so frustrated! I ripped the tip off and was so mad I just poured it straight into my tank! Lol I was lucky there was no mess

So question about batteries. These 30watt shinys that take the 18650s, do you need high amp batteries or are regular ones ok to use.

The ones that have built in batteries are ready to go. The rest just take the regular 18650 IMR's like the purple Efests. The same as you'd use in a mech mod.

Being I hadn't even heard about it I guess I'm not concerned.
But you did cause me to think about Pinky and the Brain.

Yeah, I've got some like that from one vendor. The bottles are nice and soft, but they have a fatter tip with a tiny hole. I have to enlarge the holes with a needle to drip from them!

I was here at that time - my 1st tour here was 84 - 88 (was originally for 1 year but I kept extending). Ask him about Gate 2 and BC streets - he was single so I know he experienced it

Lol....is it something he'd tell his mom????

 

[kathi17]

I wonder how many people have shinys they don't use just collecting dust. It seems every time I get a new one my old one dies shortly after. I do still have my two woodies that I made, have not been used in forever and they work fine. So guilty here. I should probably put them up for trade lol

I usually try to remember to go and dig out a device or topper I haven't used in a while, just to see what I'm missing. For about a month, I was rocking my Nemesis and TOBH, and really enjoying them. Sunday, I dug out my Cartel and Big Buddha, and I'm rocking those now.

If you had things you really liked, but put away as you got new ones, then digging them out again after a few months is like getting new equipment!

I personally think the government should keep their hands and pockets out of it. When they controlled phone regulations we advanced from rotary dial to push button dialing, that was 40 years of advancements, they opened up the market and look at the phones we're using now!

 

[mac63]

Probably not everything.
If you really want to give him a shock, ask if he enjoyed whisper alley.
After he recovers he might ask how you know about these things. That's when you throw out the old line about how parents know lots of stuff.

I have a Cloupor Mini and I use Efest 18650 Batteries in it, even though I haven't really used it at higher than 14 watts. At that rate (I think it comes out to be a 3 amp draw), I should be safe using my AW 10A 2000 mah batteries in it just fine, but I figure it's better to be safe than sorry.

After reading yours and Bruce's posts, I realized that maybe there are still some vendors who don't have the high amp batteries. I'm so used to ordering all my batteries from Bruce, that I just assumed everyone only sold the good ones now.

Maybe my answer wasn't a good one.

Oh well, we have a saying in Maine about what assume does, but I can't say it on ECF.

"net neutrality"

Lets just say, I miss the early 90s internet before the Corps and such took over. it was a fun, informative place. where else could you find a step by step instructions for bomb making and how to bake a chocolate marble cake. AOL, let you see their world but no further, it was a portal, but real internet providers let you see the real WWW, (world wide web). Before voice, Youtube and real Government monitor and mining of your information.. So it took half a day to upload a 2 minute clip of music. You could make your own pages,(geocities was one), newsfeeds and chatrooms for any subject or imaginations. A real wild west back then. "net neutrality" is really a government over reach of of a once free internet.... No matter how they spin it, the internet of old is long gone.

ok, old man rant over.

I spared you my thoughts on what it could mean and for who, why no or yes....

thread seems to have slowed down a bit tonight. no problem catching up

That's tomorrow? I miss a lot without TV.

Anyway, it sounds like it stinks. My internet just crawls along anyway, so I doubt it would make a difference where I live.

edit: As I start reading the comments, I'm not sure what it is. I thought it was giving places like Net Flicks faster internet than ISPs or something. I guess I need to do my research.
