Creative help needed UFS/Ody

[Zogem]

Me and my friend gravity had a little bet last night. I lost. The laptop survived, however my right hand, which was between it's edge and the floor, not so good. The "this might hurt" followed by lots of push and prodding ( and my whimpering ) yielded no full fracture. Possible hairlines, and 100% chance of deep bruising. Passed on the pain meds, and am now in one of those wraps in a metal bar to keep things immobilized.

This is serially impacting my vaping experience. I think I figured out why my ody is constantly gurgling, building one with a gimp hand seems unlikely. That can wait.

Problem is the UFS. The juice control is pretty tight, and rather difficult using only my left hand (I'm right handed). Looking for ideas.

Of course I can just drip, but it's somewhat of a personal challenge. And probably a short lived one, as this morning I could tie my shoes, but I can manage that now.

if you change the o-ring around the UFS base (its a 14x1,5, put a 13x1,5) you will be able to turn it very easy Zog

But first, put vaseline to this 14x1,5 o-ring and to the 2 same o-rings that are on the neck of the connector and see if it gets easier for you

Sorry to hear Zogem. Get well soon.

Thanks.

The center post is well covered I believe. since I don't issues with juice getting into the base, I should be able to pull out that oring, for now.

I've gotten creative with rubber bands, so can actually get enough grip but without much grabbing force.

Sorry to hear Zogem. Get well soon.

thanks, but no sympathy needed. There are people far worse off than the dumb-... with the sprained hand.

[imeothanasis]

Holy crap.. You win. Hope that's getting better, and wasn't to deep to cut tendons.

Thanks. It took out most of the tendons but they were able to repair them all bar the ring finger It's healing very fast though and I should be back at work next week

In your dreams,take your time my friend.

Is there any depths VP wont sink to, to hijack a thread.

Lucky to still have your hand m8.

Hope your right handed, no w**king for VP for a while.

Seriously though, glad to hear it's healing good.

 

[gredie]

VP, it seems you were really lucky in the bad not loosing your hand or disabling it completly.

Being able to use only one hand is a bad thing. I hope you both get well soon, VP & Zogem.

Geez guys, if this keeps up, we'll need to have a GG MASH unit. Hope you both mend well.

And as for gravity Z, I'm not so sure it is my friend other than keeping me from floating around. That same force that kept my feet frimly on the ground for the first 40 years of my life has been slowly but inexorbly pulling me back into mother earth. I must admit it is better for us guys. If I was a lady I would have to spend some money on the most visible effects of gravity after 40...
