Evolv-ing Thread

[SlickWilly]

Thanks guys, I don't know if I have a glucose problem yet, called the doc this morning and asked if they would check it today, they told me they would ask the doc and call me back. I waited until 3 PM with no call back, here it is Friday and they close for the weekend. I looked up the health center on line to see if the doctor I use to see was still with them, I found him listed at the center the next village over so I called over there to set up an appointment to see him, the doctor I saw the other day I just don't have faith in. They told me he's in my home town clinic next Monday and they scheduled me in to see him here Monday afternoon. Within five minuets the first doctor's nurse called, told me they decided I should have some blood tests done and asked if I could come in Monday, I told them to take a look, I'm already on the books with another doctor and I'd be there then. I have an idea they saw I had called the other place and had booked the appointment so they figured they better cover their butts and finally call me back.... Either way, I'll see the good doctor Monday and get these blood tests rolling, just have to ride the weekend out and hope I don't go downhill too far between now and then.

And we were just talking a couple days ago about incompetent doctors..... sigh.....

Many Doctors Don't Report Incompetent Colleagues

I learned a long time ago when it comes to doctors you have to ask a lot of questions and take charge of your own health care, don't put them on a pedestal and blindly take everything they tell you as gospel. You know the old saying, doctor's bury their mistakes....

(Hope there isn't any doctors here )

I found refined white flour products were actually worse than sugar on my glucose levels. Everyone is different, but something to watch.

Now that I would have never guessed, you guys have certainly opened my eyes, good stuff, I appreciate it!

Felt funny about even posting, once again, that I wasn't feeling well, but now I'm glad I did, good feedback from good friends.

Sorry to the rest for wandering off into laa laa topics again....

No it is good that you had posted. As if it is a problem, it is important to take control of it right away. As long term can causes many problems like amputations and organ failure. vaping can also affect blood sugar. Flavorings is a big factor, but so does VG. Not sure if PG affects blood sugar or not. As a general rule (all juices vary a bit), I use 4ml of juice equals to like eating 15 carbs. Not normally enough to factor in, but it might.

Sugar is just a carbohydrate, albeit a pretty "pure" one. The same is true of refined wheat products. They can be almost as "pure" as sugar and can be digested just as fast, or even faster, which makes your glucose level spike really high really fast. Throw in they get combined with sugar like cake(ummmmm!), and it gets even worse in glucose terms

I love it, diesel, wow, that's tough.

Yup, one of my neighbors was having his gas stolen too. I too live on a farm. I don't recall a time when anybody was stealing anything from my tanks, but one of my neighbors had a thief problem once. He fixed it by switching the two tanks around. One had gasoline and the other had diesel.

Back when I was twisting wrenches I saw a few vehicles that had been vandalized by people dumping stuff in the gas tanks. Sugar was in one but all it did was make it's way into the carburetor and made it run rough. Then I had a Nissan Pathfinder towed in as a no start, with that one I found the injectors would barely spray, when I pulled an injector off the rail I saw it looked corroded inside the inlet, digging deep revealed someone had dumped a gallon of bleach in the gas tank, it was corroding everything in the fuel system. Had to replace every part of the fuel system, gas tank, filler neck, fuel pump, sender, lines, hoses, injector, fuel rail, luckily for the owner the insurance company covered it. The owner told the service writer he knew it was his wife that did it, it had been parked inside his garage so that limited the suspects, she caught him messing around on her the week prior.

No, never have, why do you ask? Is that something the doctor should have checked? Please don't tell me yes.....

Willie, I get a lot of those same symptoms from time to time & I think it has something to do with my weight loss, unfortunately they still haven't figured out what it is but I've ruled out thyroid & diabetes. It's super easy to get those 2 checked so if you haven't I would.

That is Steam Craves "Lego" deck, it works as a postless, velocity or series.

This one? Very cool design! Aromamizer Titan RDTA 41mm,Aromamizer RDTA

That is the one.

With the stack on pieces, just wondered if they have any issues with sub ohm fluctuations. My .03 builds can get thrown out of whack from just from the 510 threads getting a little dirty. I'm a fanatic at cleaning the threads every time I refill, I clean the threads on the atty's by pressing a folded piece of paper towel into the threads with my thumbnail and unscrewing to wipe the threads clean, then forcing a q-tip hard into the mod 510 threads. Just seeing a little black on the tips or towel which is caused from the friction of the two stainless parts being screwed on and off can throw the resistance off enough to really effect the vape. I can lock the ohms on a fresh and clean build to keep things more even but I'm not a fan of locking, kind of defeats the purpose of the well monitoring DNA boards doing what they are designed for.

The Titan's deck is a massive 31mm. I just put the coils on it and vape, big framed staples don't TC well anyway.

The rails are screwed to the base posts, the velocity uprights are screwed to the rails and your coils screw into the uprights. There could be cause for a little fluctuation with that setup (Velocity). The postless has the least number of intermediate metal on metal pieces.

You're right, the Evolv boards are great at monitoring, better than I can, so I lock the res and let it do its job. It'll let me know if base res changes for any reason other than ambient temp change. If I don't lock it and the mod sits long enough at an ambient temp very far from room temp it'll refine to the new res and prompt me all the time to select old/new. To me that's irritating so I keep them locked. I have never understood why some don't lock their res. Am I missing something? Maybe it's because some people switch their attys around a lot (ones that have the same wire type but different build res)?

I can't say one way or the other about locking resistance but I can say I've never done it. I sure didn't say much I guess.
Is this just when using 316/317 by chance?

 

[BillW50]

I have to lock my resistance on my DNA200 mods, because when I swap batteries, it will use the hot coil resistance as the new cold resistance if it is unlocked. I don't lock my DNA250C mods though. Heck I don't think I even know how to on a DNA250C.

I agree, the cold ohms is a set value. There is no reason it should change thru the life of the Wick/Coil. I lock, always have, since the first DNA40's had the feature

@dwcraig1 Hows the Typhoon doing? Flavour?
