CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[reptilr]

Happy sunday to all. Donuts i can do but i just prefer cinamon dusted ones and im partial to the jam donut but only 1 and it has to be freezing cold outside for me to eat it lol. Should you wish to post photo's of the american ones i'd be more that willing to look at them... Semi i know what you mean, i am going through somewhat of a same experience. I vape mostly around 12-14 and its become constant, thing is i really dont need the nic but its a chain vaping nightmare sometimes. The volt is always either in my mouth or in my hand. If i go to 16 or 18 it make me queesy and sickly feeling(too much). I hope you find a balance.
My dilema is lately my diy has not been satisfying my buds and im only vaping 2 flavours. I made a small order with TV as i like their juice and hope to bring some expert juice back into my rotation.

Starsong is funny you mention about krispy creme fading out, cos thats exactly what happened here. So many stores opened up and people wen crazy over them. I liked the glazed ones mmmm. Then they began shutting down stores and trying to stock them in pre existing corner stores and now they are almost just a memory.

Exactly... one of the grocery stores used to have a display case with them for a while, not as good as freshly made but still OK. The glazed or chocolate glazed were my favs too. Surprising to hear they made it all the way down there.

Oh well, I shouldn't be eating those anyhow. I'm proud of myself for going to the Cheesecake Factory the other day (after our discussion about Mango Key Lime cheesecake) and resisted the temptation of ordering a slice. I misbehaved pretty often during my 12 day vacation, but now that done and its time to get back on track.

Good morning, Volties. Hope your day is a happy and productive one.

 

[Semiretired]

Good Morning Lilac and to all the sleeping Volties...

Mornin' Everyone!

I've been up for hours, but distracted by other things. My daughter kept me on the phone for quite awhile. Then I had emails to write. Then I had to face cleaning up the party that the raccoons had here last night. Someone ignored Standard Operating Procedures when putting trash outside. The coons got into it and had a ball. I couldn't help but chuckle the whole time I was cleaning it up. Ornery critters. I love 'em though.

But - Now I'm here, and everyone is probably already off dealing with the day. Ah well.

Mornin! Got back from work, at 41 Celcius i took a network rack apart and placed everything back together...
I baked myself

 

[CatLady007]

Good morning, all!
K--I sure hope you folks get a break in the weather, soon; sounds like the heat has you feeling oppressed. I imagine even a storm would be welcome.

 

[Konstantine]

Oh yes! Winter! snow, rain, cold, destruction, wind, ice.

Anybody have a trick to keep me from dripping juice on my x2 from my clearomizer??? Seems like I cant keep the batt dry.. I didnt think I was over filling, I stop right at the line, but it always seems to make its way down the tube... I can always tell when too, the hits get dull and it starts to gurgle... Not the end of the world, would just like to know what Im doin wrong...

Try filling just a little less. Also, make sure the metal ring around the top is pushed all the way down. To do this, when empty, turn upside down with drip tip removed and place on a hard surface. Then take something else hard (i use the flat surface of my remote) and gently push down to make sure it is seated.

When you have your drip tip in, look through it and make sure that the bottom of the drip tip is touching the top of the silicone cup.

Usually, there are 3 reasons that we get juice on our battery. 1) overwicking. (juice is traveling the wicks too much). 2) drip down the tube by accident, 3) drip tip is not sealing with drip cup seal.

That might help you diagnose what's happening

 

[trichman]

Is there a fix for overwicking? Does it happen when overfilled?

I found that if I fill to the 1.2ml line, leave the clearo on the battery when filling and fill with a syringe or needle tip on my juice bottle, I am getting much better results.

The other thing that happens is vapor that is left in the tube can turn back into liquid and leave a drop on the battery.

Yes, condensation has been my biggest issue. I found the best way to deal with that is by continuing to vape it for a second after letting go I the button. This way the coil stops producing vapor and I can get whatever is in there. Obviously you can't do that on an automatic.

To fix overwicking, there is not much without modding the unit. A few easy fixes are this though

1. Don't fill as high. If the juice isn't all the way up, it seems to help. Try filling to the the 1.2-1.4line

2. A little thicker juice. Overwicking is more of an issue with 80-100%pg

3. Try pushing down on the rubber drip cup seal just a touch. That will help cut off the flow from the wicks. You don't want to push too much down though because then you will get dry hits, or possibly make the drip tip not seal with the cup.

Some people have cut the wicks so that they aren't so long.

I have found, also, that if I tighten my batt connection just a smitch (especially with a brand new clearo), it can eliminate this problem.
I have also had them drip onto the battery connection after taking the X2 w/clearo from the air conditioned house out into the heat. So now I make sure not to let the sun shine on it for too long a time. Go figure.

Morning all

I have had the same problem with the clearo's and the X2. Every so often I would find a bead of juice on top of the battery post. It always seems to happen after I fill, when it does I blow through the air tube to clear it and start again.

As MrOutlaw as mentioned it can also be down to the juice as well. It seems some juices wick faster than others.

Hello my precious! How are you all doing today?
Missed me?
I was in and out for the last couple of weeks, and I have surely missed all of you!!

My beloved Uncle, you know I am just a PM away, please don't hesitate to contact me whenever you wish
K, I am still waiting for your instructions... BTW, why do I have to slap you? You are a good child - contrary to my daughter, who gets naughty too often lately... It must be because of the heat!

 

[Konstantine]

Hey Fani!
Question, what are those big stainless steel cartos you gave me? 808 thread.

 

[FaniFox]

Hey K! These are the VOLT XL's. They hold 1.4 ml contrary to the regulars which hold 1 ml and you can also make a hole and place them in a tank!!
Aren't they great?

 

[Konstantine]

Hmmmm Really? Never had those, since there is no stop is it possible for the tank to slip out? I mean on the bottom.
Ι

 

[FaniFox]

Never had that and I always use cartos without the "plate".
With these Volts XL's I can now use my X2 batts as well
