All I know is I didn't get to the USA and all encountering the metric system until high school. When we did "conversion to the metric system week" that week, I was ANGRY. Very angry, and I felt betrayed and also superior, a bit. Not because I knew the metric system, more like "You lot are all backwards you must eat a lot of paste."
Almost more so than when my parents decided to put me and my brother in the "immersion method" of French schooling by just like, handing my brother this "American to French" dictionary and then abandoning us at this building, filled with adults who spoke no English and saying, "See ya later!" pretty much (which included a sudden move to an after school program in a different building) and I was pretty sure my mom would NOT know where to pick us up and they made me leave my galoshes in the other room and every time I went to go GET them this Germanic Fraulein sort kept coming to get me, removing my galoshes, and like, scolding me (I presume I did not know what the HECK she was talking about.) Finally, my mom showed up and was like, "How was your first day of school?" and I kind of wanted to PUNCH her and hug her at the same time. I was ANGRY then.
But I think the whole inches and feet thing made me MADDER. LOL.

We continue to fail because we insist on teaching translation/conversion/etc.. THE most useless and ineffective way to teach anything, and we fell in love with it.
45 years (more or less) from when we first attempted (and failed miserably), yet we still haven't figured that out.

Da little PM, she be a-incoming, dear one.
Hmmmmm interesting! Modding a CLR for the eGrip VT.
I dunno where @pufZeppelin has been these days, but I know he’d love this if he saw it so I’m dropping it here:
8 years old and awesome! And the look of joy on her face!

Wow and to boot a Zep song. The little girl may have a future in music if thats the path she takes.
Many thanks for sharing it and its my hope that Puff is doing well these days it has been a long time.

Whelp, I done it again. Let my thpethial version of retro shinyitis override my common sense. Just ordered a new Joyetech eGrip VT. Outdated, out of production and internal battery.
But IF it works and IF the CLR hack I posted earlier works, I'll have fun with it. I've got 4 packs of CLR TI coils and just in case that hack doesn't work I picked up 6 packs of CL NI coils @ 29¢ per pack. (Thanks again @Lanciab )
Also found a source for replacements for my Aspire ET clearos that I keep busting.
So if all goes well I'm gonna be right back where I started in 2015. With an egrip (new improved and CLR-ized TC) and Aspire ET clearos as backup.
Maybe?

My experience with the egrips (both kinds): worked great for a few weeks but started leaking and I was never able to get it to stop and I tried EVERYTHING.
Edit: somehow they stop being air tight and liquid starts making its way thru the airflow hole. I tried to beef up the dinky orings to no avail.

Foggy Road, there's no reason for it to work.
For the leakings, i've read somewhere on this board that some kind of cotton seal might be the cause : once saturated it would not block the liquid spilling.
Replacing it with a standard rubber seal was the cure.
And you're welcome for the Ni coils
Keep us posted !

I've heard that many times when the old eGrip thread was active. Had 2 originals. One succumbed to the weak USB connector. The other I piffed away as I moved toward DL. The one I had let sitting for 2 months with an RBA base and half full of juice. When I finally moved it there was one small drop off juice under it.
Only major leak I ever had was the first time I used the RBA. Dumped a full tank all over myself. Joyetech had cut the wick too short on the preinstalled coil! Once properly wicked I never had a problem.
Our Precious CLR coils also have a reputation as leakers. Don't know why, I've never experienced it.
Edit: 1 possible reason I never had the leaks was that I had only used 1 or 2 of the CS coils. I moved to the GS air coils immediately and then the Aspire BVC coils then the RBA head. The CS coils sucked from the start!

But I certainly won't be using the chimney from the mod to knock out that insert like the guy in the video did. Sure I can find another way.
The two megas I have going right now are V1. I also have the exact same Tron T in use and have found it to be an excellent tank. Just about impossible to find now, but there was a site or two practically giving them away last year. I got one but wish I had loaded up (I think they were $2 or $3 each). I do have a jillion megas of every variety, so I'm not hurting.
