Any one have a Honda? how are they? Thinking of a 650 Honda scooter. Because of the arther in my left hand holding the clutch in is super painful. The scooters are auto.
I've had 3 Honda motorcycles, they are great! Not a clue about the scooters, but I would imagine they are great too. :)

Hope they are okay Drott, and hopefully you can go see her soon.

You should be okay now, I fixed it. If not, let me know. And House is on special if that helps. :)

Drinking wine tonight to get over my horrid day, so pardon me in advance. :laugh:
PA did something good (speaking of wine)! :) We will now be able to have wine shipped to us from wineries!! :banana: Assuming, of course, that said winery pays the required fee. :glare: They can ship up to 36 cases per year to an individual. If a case holds 24 bottles, that would be about 2 1/2 bottles a day per year! :blink:

Woo Hoo!!!! I just ordered a black Provape Radius. :banana:
Sweet!! I've had a Radius for a while, love it! I use it with a Kabuki, which is a tank that has the P3 connection and uses Nautilus coils so I don't have to bother rebuilding (yet). I wish it held more juice though, I find myself filling it pretty often. It holds 3ml I think? Wish it were 5ml.

    WOW! I'm so happy for you! I still do Cartos with HOUSE...I recently changed everything over to an Aspire mni. I like it but it doesn't like HOUSE hence still using Cartos.

    I still have cartos, my phiniac tank, and eleaf 30w as backup.

    I did see the purple that nothing else matches! I almost went with the skulls to go with my skull drip tip, but figured I'd get it some clothes from J-wraps.

    Now I see I missed a bunch of stuff while I was stuffing myself with PIE. Let me go back up.

    PIE PIE PIE ~~~~~ !!!!!!!!!!

    Here's the thing. I don't now what goes with what. What wire,what OHM,what volt and how to determine what of all those things matter if one is perfectly happy with a 1.8 coil at 10 watts.Do you test them so they don't blow up? Do you need to be able to read the number that matters with that meter with 6,000 arms? I don't want to sub ohm.I want to regular ohm whatever that is. I don't need clouds or high temperatures. I just want something that recreates a cigarette.So if I get a sub ohm tank do I have to sub ohm it? On top of it all .. I have to have all questions answered before my eyeballs roll to the back of my head.I got to the middle of the video and all of a sudden I was thinking about whether I should watch the Olympics or the 12th Season of Poirot...Then I thought about Bananas and that pretty much ended any attention span I initially started with.I;m by nature a very creative person (read dumb as a rock) Numbers aggravate me..I hate numbers.Numbers and logical things cramp my style. Having said that I would really like to have a nice set up so that I can quit buying things I don't know how to use. I too bought a Radius from Provape this evening in purple because it matches nothing. I would like it to have a nice rebuildable atty (is that still a phrase?) to go along with it.I do have one they call "The Russian" that's suppose to be pretty nice. Maybe I can stay alert long enough to watch the reviews.

    Stretchy, I will post a good response for you, I can help.

    Stretchy, don't sweat it, it SEEMS much more involved than it is. I'll try to be short here. All of the ohms, watts, etc. can seem daunting, but it's not all that important.

    YES there are "cloud chasers" out there that only care about BIG clouds, run super high wattages to get that. That does NOT mean everyone who rebuilds, or even sub-ohms has to. As your wattage increases typically your vapor production does as well. For me, the WHOLE reason for going to a rebuildable was to be FREE of cartos, cartridges, atomizers, etc. I wanted something where all I had to do was buy a big spool of simple wire, and mega bag of cotton, and just do it on the CHEAP, and I am.

    Now onto the ohms thing. Typically the bigger the wire the smaller the resistance, and vice versa. I use 24 gauge Kanthal and make two coils (one for each side) and combined they come out to .35 ohms (yes, that's technically sub ohm). I could use different wire, and make it over 1 ohm if I wanted to. I don't really care about how low I can go, I just found a nice easy wire to use that lasts quite a while, wrapped coils and found that 7 wraps fit nicely into my build deck and just do the same thing every time I re do them. The fact that they happen to come out to .35 ohms doesn't really matter, that's just what they are. If you watch the video above she's using the same Coil Master "coil jig" that I am, and it's SUPER easy. Wrap wrap wrap, put one end in each hole (repeat for other coil) tighten "grub screws" allen wrench screw, trim ends, stuff cotton in, fill with juice and go. Super easy.

    I didn't really have anyone helping me, so I bought some bad things, tossed them, and have now found (for me) an easy, very cheap, great tasting solution. The wire and cotton is soo cheap it's rediculous. No more worrying about what cartridge/carto/atomizer I was running out of, and what device it was for, just ONE stack of wire, and ONE stack of cotton, super easy.

    The ONLY thing I can think of that IS important regarding ANY device you rebuild is the ohms, BUT only to make sure your mod (battery box) will support it. I'm at .35 ohms, if my El Cheapo eLeaf iStick 30W only goes down to .75 ohms, it won't fire my device. So all you have to do is make sure your mod is rated to go down to whatever ohms you're using, that's it.

    Oh also Stretchy, don't be put off by all the tools in that kit. You know what I use every time I have to recoil, or replace the cotton ?

    The coil jig to wrap a new coil, the scissors, and tweezers, THAT'S IT. Don't be intimidated, as it's really very simple.

    Also (shhhh, don't tell Maurine) but you do use a bit more juice with these setups, so it's GREAT for any Witch Doctor Mixologists that you know. This is due to increased vapor, and IMO, much better flavor.
    :lol:

    Awesome list, thank you!

    I'll make a better accurate list, but you can see overall what the low prices are. The IPV5 is the newer version of the mod I had been using the IPV4s. Actually like the 4 better.

    I don't think their any of the v. 1 RDTA's out so pretty much any purchase of a SC will be the v. 2. I prefer the 6ml one as I can just fill it and vape forever before topping off.

    When I first started using these I assumed horizontal with two cotton tails HAD to be better for better wicking. My experience has been the opposite. Vertical coils with one big cotton tail work much better, no gurgling, very little leaking (UNLESS if it's left laying on it's side), better air flow. I've also learned not to PACK the cotton tail into the juice well. Better to trim it back some more, fluff the cotton, and just seat it, making sure to cover ALL 4 holes and it's just been too damn good to make any changes to it.

    Almost forgot. They DO make atomizers (prebuilt) so you can try out without having to make your own coils. They worked pretty good, not as good as full coils, but they offer them as well.
