I would call 120F "warm water", not "hot water". [emoji14]

Infants are generally not capable of turning on the water by themselves.

Old folks usually know better, 'cause they grew up before the energy-use nannies went all overboard on us.


OCD much? [emoji23]

I usually forget it's there unless something is wrong like today. But it's always good to be prepared [emoji39]

zomg the new showers are great though, there's these 6 slots that spray out a wide, fine mist. It just shoots the soap or w/e right off you. I feel clean at the molecular level.

I did not find any ristrictors to take out though.

@kiba , if you've turned up your water heater temp to get additional hot water time and your tub/shower valve is the single control valve type you will likely find a mixing adjuster inside your control valve to eliminate scalding. It will look like a gear and can be removed, rotated and reinstalled to mix more or less hot water in at the full hot handle position. This is code now to keep children from being scalded. Takes about 3 min to change the adjustment.

I fergot all about that one!

So if a guy REALLY like the Merlin rta with the air flow bushing installed, what other more modern should he be looking at?

With the Air bushing installed? Most of the newer stuff I'm running has more Air Flow than the Merlin unrestricted
What about the Skyline? You don't like it?

Is that one considered m2l? My go-to m2l for a long time was the hussar, I had to give it up though (m2l in general) bc it was causing me to vape so much. Still, it's probably the best flavor tank I've used (single coil deck w/ nano tank & short chimney).

I never understood what people saw in the skyline, I could never actually get it to work satisfactorily & I had a real one... I think maybe it wouldve been good if I was into smaller (like 2mm) coils. but my wicks always ended up starved & the coils had to be jammed in there. The rest of the tank was a great design though, I always said it would be much better same scale in 25mm.

I have a Clone Skyline (Copper vapes) Exactly the opposite of a 2mm coil is what works for me!
I have a 3mm inner diameter 8 wrap spaced coil in mine, that spans the whole deck. Not much wick but it works No dry hits or leaking at all. I tried a small coil in it & it fell on it's face, no flavour at all What I don't like about it is the JFC It's uncomfortable to say the least!

I don't do MTL, But an Ares or Siren V2 gets good reviews

Yeah idk, everyone always said go smaller but ideally I'd want all the air from the insert to hit coil, & my preference is 3mm... Did you have to really thin the crap out of the wick tails? I had to always really stuff them to get them to fit & my coils would stretch across the whole deck.

Not as much as the Merlin.

Here's my Skyline Build, It's a bit dirty cause I just pulled it out (in uses) You can see it's a fairly big coil for the size of the deck. BTW I use the biggest Air insert under it.
Not much wick tails, but fit fairly tight in the coil.

I could not get a smaller coil to perform, At All

For single handle mixing control valves:
Remove the knob (center screw behind knob cap or allen screw for handle type), unscrew large sleeve cap from valve body, reposition mixing stop (gear looking thingy) and reassemble. On some valves the water supply must be shut off, on most it does not. Utube has vids on most valve mfr's and types.

Plus the writing lines up. lol

Winner!

Anyone messed with trying to make a lemon e-liquid ?

I have used "lemonade" flavoring to get a decent lemon note.

Here's one I use, that's about as high as I'd go with lemon Sicily, but I'd also need like a cake or cream to balance it out.

 

[classwife]

so...you don't get a scorched taste with the lemon sicily ?
I would have thought it would have been a very simple thing to just add some to my mix.
Am quite surprised. (and disappointed )
My bottle is a 120ml bottle of my custard mix and I added 2mls of lemon sicily to it
