As expected, Clinton won't be charged even though she sent classified info over unsecured email. What a joke.

I didn't expect charges to come from any of it. It's one thing to know someone broke a law, it's another for a prosecutor to get a conviction. "At this point, what difference does it make?" No really, what difference would it make? Those who love her wouldn't care if she was wearing jail house blues while being sworn into office and those that don't like her pretty much already knew this would be the outcome.

anybody here has some advice for one of us tootle puffers? :D

Two Ego one mega VT tanks, three GS-Tanks,and two Aspire K1 tanks for those places that I don't want clouds! I was frugal and just ordered 5 more CLR coils to bring me up to 20. No ejuice purchases, since I'm going DIY only from now on, Oops forgot the two more LG INR 3000ma batteries, that came today, since I dropped one and the wrapper broke at the top and the insulator ring fell off! Might be able to save it with the right size shrink wrap tubing! Anyone have any experience with whether this is a good idea or not?

I've never messed with 18650 battery's, from the sounds of it, it's just the plastic insulator that got knocked off. I would "assume" it could be set back in place, put new heat shrink on it and be OK? Maybe some pics of what the battery looks like with the insulator knocked off would help?

I bought a pack of thinner heat shrink tube's made for re-wrapping 18650's, thought it would be good to have on hand, haven't had to use it yet. I can't remember where I got it but I'll look and see if I can find a email receipt or I'd be happy to stick a few in a envelope and send them to Leopards.

I'm not sure what category you'd call it but I LOVE my Taifun(s). Even more than my kayfun's! I think my GSL is my favorite.

I just got the kayfun 5 today, was a little disappointed in the draw, everyone going on that it was a lung hitting kayfun, no way to MTL it. On the wide open air flow it's still more restricted than I expected. Of course mines a clone (tobecco) so it could be that? But it's not a bad vape, but absolutely more restricted than I was expecting it to be.

Maybe I've just gotten used to much more open air tanks, like the GSL, aromamizer (2 holes), even the squape x.

Sitting down, facing forward.
Besides no indictment, we got a letter today telling us that the County had enrolled us, automatically and with no prior notification, in a co-op to buy electricity from an alternate source...and this is a Republican County government. No real rate structure was supplied and the touted "savings" would be minimal at best. Have to wonder whose bread got buttered on this one. We already opted out, but I'm betting most people won't know until after the fact.

I mite be a little bias cause I really have a thing for K-F's :) But I'm really liking this V5! (SJMY clone)
It is a bit of a restrictive lung hit, open enough for me :) In traditional K-F style the flavour is the star of the show. Right now I'm running a single coil in a K-F v5 & a SQuape x, both SJMY clones & there both awesome! SJMY? for me came out of no were, But I'm impressed with the build quality on both these clones :) I even bought another SJMY K-F V5 clone, it mite get caught in the postal dispute But what are gonna do :(

Now now, don't be questioning our officials, they know better then we do what's good for us. Better get use to it, soon you'll be placed on a terrorist list for disagreeing with the government. When you get there look me up LoL.

What do you use for feeder tubes on your GSL, mesh tubes? I get a muted flavor from mine using the PTFE tubes. I tried mesh in my regular GS and was also unimpressed. Maybe I rolled them too tight. I expected the smaller chamber to give better flavor. Any hints would be appreciated. Perhaps I just need to spend more time playing with them to get them right.
Thanks.

I use mesh straws. I usually roll them around a blue screwdriver or a 2.4mm screwdriver... The GSL and GS2 have different sized feed holes in the tops respectively. But essentially I roll them like 3 wrap straws so they are hallow and thin walled. So long as they make contact with your cotton wick you'll wick nicely.

There is a little bit of trial and error involved, but it is very doable and repeatable. FYI @dwcraig1 is the resident taifun expert.. And I do mean expert. ;)

I've never tried the ptfe tubes myself, the mesh works great. There are also other wicking techniques but the mesh tubes just work for me... If your not getting the flavor you expect try using the single hole upper afc ring instead of the 3 hole, and make sure it's positioned as to not be blocked by your wick.

The GSL & GS2 offer great flavor and plenty of air.

If I can help further, don't hesitate to ask. :)
