I build a single Clapton Ni200 3mmID coil on my steam crave Aromamizer Supreme as well as my Boreas. I place the coil between the posts in the center. 3mmID Clapton just barely fits between the Supreme's posts. But lots of room between the Boreas' posts. Which is funny because the decks looks the same.

Which Ni200 clapton wire are you using Bill? I (and Mike) have some from FT, and I swear the stuff reads 0.05 ohms no matter how you build it, and just doesn't seem to want to stay in TC mode. I've tried it a couple times without success, and I think @mikepetro had the same results with the same stuff...?

I think they are up to 4 dead officers. I don't understand people. Sad day, all the way around.

Tough night to be in Dallas [emoji22]
Yeah, I've been watching the news for the last hour. Talking heads mentioning "high capacity assault weapons" and "overpowered rifles" and other nonsense.

There's been so much misinformation about the Clinton outcome, the shootings in LA and MN and now Dallas. Sad times in America.

4 officers dead tonight (as of writing). 3 police and 1 dart (which is Dallas area rapid transit). I guess because I'm (we're) normal, I just don't understand these kinds of actions. Our local news (I live in a suburb of Dallas) showing overhead views of downtown and its shut down! Street closures, barricades, cops walking around with assault rifles (or high power rifles). They just said to check the Dallas news website for street closures in the morning for people who work in the downtown area.

Absolutely insane! [emoji22]

On another note... I posted this in the kf5 thread, thought it was a funny picture... I'd like the kayfun 5 to have a more open draw, so I took off the afc ring, exposing all the air holes... Same draw to me. So the bottleneck is the air shaft or the air outlet under the coil.

Officers often have a rifle or shotgun in their patrol car. Some carry AR15's which are semi-automatic rifles, NOT assault rifles. Only SWAT and other special units might have assault rifles (full auto).
Assuming they were using AR15's, it is NOT a high powered rifle. In fact, the .223 round is banned from hunting larger game in most states because it cannot kill with one shot. 30rd mags are not high capacity as the media often parrots. That is a standard capacity mag for the AR15 and other rifles. 40rd, 60rd, 100rd, 200rd are high capacity magazines.

This is getting out of hand.

Dallas - 4 officers dead, 7 shot (11 total). 3 in custody and 1 holed up in a garage still exchanging gunfire. Gunman claims there are bombs scattered around the city.

Baton Rouge - Alton Sterling was a convicted felon with a handgun hanging out in a liquor store parking lot selling CD's and DVD's. A homeless man was pestering him for money and Alton got fed up and lifted his shirt showing a handgun. The homeless man called the cops and an altercation ensued. The cops tazered him and he kept resisting. While wrestling him to the ground, someone yelled "GUN!" and the cops pulled their sidearms and then fired when he still resisted. A handgun was recovered at the scene.

Hardly an innocent man. Had he not resisted arrest, he would still be alive. No sympathy for him.

Minneapolis - A couple with their daughter was pulled over for a broken tail light. The driver, told the officer that he had a CCW (concealed carry permit). The officer yelled to keep his hands in clear view and then asked for his ID. When the driver reached for his ID, he was shot 5 times. The GF started live streaming right after the shooting.

I think the officer should be charged with murder.

Director of FBI James Comey was questioned by the House Oversight and Govt Reform comittee this morning. I want to believe Dir Comey did what he thought was right but with the evidence presented and the questioning this morning, I'm still shocked that there was no indictment.

The State Dept has reopened an internal probe hours after Dir Comey's questioning with Congress. There may be hope yet (doubtful).

I measured the Tobeco and SXK KF5's and both have 3.2mm center post holes. I'm vaping MTL in the 1 dot position. 4 dots is a tight lung hit.

Original Focusecig Clapton Wire Box

They are on sale for another 24 hours for $4.39 for 15 feet (normally it is $6 and they have 16 spools left). I loved the first spool of it, I bought two more.

I wasn't sure about the rifle, that's why I said it the way I did (or at least how I tried to meant it). Thanks for the clarification.

Also, thanks for the heads up on the air outlet. I thought I read 3.2mm, but there have been so many numbers posted and talked about, it's hard to keep track. Thanks for that!

As for the shootings, I mourn any needless loss of life. I wasn't there for any of these events the past few days obviously, but I "think" non lethal options should be used more aggressively before 2 cops holding down 1 guy, and the cops decide the only solution is multiple lethal gun shots. But that's easy for me to say. I just think 2 on 1 could have ended without loss of life. Especially since the 2 were trained law enforcement.

The guy in Minnesota, I agree he should be charged with murder and child endangerment. Again, I was not there, but assuming it happened the way it's being reported or broadcast, that shooting seems like it was done by an inexperienced or nervous cop who shot some honest guy with a 4 year old in the back seat for no reason.

Here's what I do feel, those 3 police officers and maybe more specifically the 1 in MN started something bigger than they (him) are. At least 5 Dallas police officers needlessly lost their lives (so far), unknown civilian injuries, hurt and pain not to mention chaos and terror in Dallas. Innocent people were stuck in buildings, hurt, shot or worse?

Maybe these 2 situations were different than the they seemed on the Internet and TV? I don't know. I would like to think our law enforcement officers are better trained and could end potentially dangerous situations by using non lethal options that I'm assuming they are issued? Stun gun tazers, bean bag guns, rubber bullets, mace, etc... I'm not in law enforcement and not knowledgeable in weapons like some of you are, but I would like to have faith in the men and women who protect our way of life.

Not that it matters but I'm a fat bald white dude. I'd hate to think that if I got stopped by a cop, I could potentially be shot dead just for reaching for my wallet to get my license out! Especially if my 4 year old granddaughter was in the car with me. Ya know?

Their showing stock now :) I was able to add 3 to my cart :)
Now I just have to decide if the Supreme lite is worth paying the extra 22 for the DHL option?
Darn Postal dispute :(
BTW my second F-K made it here yesterday, 6 working days from China! 8 days total :)
3F has the E-Packet to Canada option for only 2.50 & things get here fast!

Sitting down, facing forward.
I think the shooting of police in Dallas was an inevitable disaster. From "the police acted stupidly", years ago, to social media, people jump to conclusions and make judgements before all the facts are in. More white people are killed by police than black people but we never hear about that. There seems to be a definite agenda being pushed by politicians and the media acting in concert. When government officials, either elected or appointed, act in concert with the media, no matter what the "cause", it is a sad, and very dangerous, situation. I suspect that Dallas won't be the last, it will only embolden those with evil intent.

The 2 cops in LA did use tazers. Twice before tackling him to the ground.

A white guy was shot yesterday by cops in SF. No news coverage because no reason for outrage.

Obama didn't help with his speech yesterday.

Last night before going to bed, I was watching the news and thinking how f**ked up America has become. It celebrated it's 240th birthday a few days ago and I don't see it having many more if this continues. It makes me sad, truly.
