I've had my three D cell Maglite since the 70's and never had a battery leak in it. Sits on my nightstand, handy, when/if I need it.
I'm wearing mine 8 hours a day, 7 days a week....well on paper anyway.

Sitting down, facing forward.
I "wear" a "Boulder", smaller, lighter, brighter but doesn't work very well as a club. I used to wear the Mag, back in the day, when I was skinny and my pants would stay up even with it hung on my belt along with a few other things that were a little heavier.

    dwcraig1 I've used the clapton, the .4 SS, and the 1.8 Kanthal. They were all flavorful and the 1.8 had the tightest draw by far. The clapton was the most flavor, and the .4 SS worked well with TC (and the only post I ever created over there, 3 years ago) i had 3 tritons and my error turned out to me having the clapton in it (non TC). BTW, where do you find those?

    Got to be able to do TC, I would thought the .4 ohm SS one would be the ones for me to get but the "up to 30 watts" recommendation scared me off, I may still end up getting those. The eleaf EC-S ones that I have can barely handle 45 watt preheat and that's using 75% PG.

    Hmmmm a 250 or 250C, do the C's still have the white screen problem?
    Not sure to be honest, I never warmed up to the color screens, I prefer the mono. Then again, I seldom change anything on the mod itself, I will just hook it up to eScribe in heartbeat.

    Approx. 74 hours ago I received the email from Mini Ecig telling me that my Xvostick has shipped along with the tracking number. So far the postal service (the one used) knows nothing about it. I guess I need to message them that they need to give it to the carrier not just package it and leave it sit there.

    I believe mine had taken like 8 days before it would show up on tracking. And it had taken 17 days to get to me.

    I have 9 DNA250C mods. 8 of them are Lost Vape mods and I never had seen the white screen issue here. I also have 75C mods, do they also experience the white screen issue? I'm torn between color or not. As I actually like both. ;)

    I had a 75C go white screen but the 250Cs have been fine. I think it was the luck of the draw with the early runs of them.


    All my white screens were from the very first batch also. I have several in service all working fine, if you over look the battery drain & the deep sleep problems :(

    Or, you could use vinegar and baking soda. If it doesn't work you won't have to throw it, it'll launch like a rocket :hubba::evil:

    Nice, thanks guys! After using baking soda for decades to clean lead acid batteries I would never thought an acid to clean up an acid! Went to use my laser pointer a couple days ago and it wouldn't work, pulled the batteries to find they had leaked but not enough to destroy it, just looking to preserve it now.

    How about this for a Nice Side By Side!
    If you have to Ask! you probably can't afford it!

    "If you have to Ask! you probably can't afford it!"
    Now I know, no sense in me asking cause I can't afford it... Very cool though!

    Coiled up a mizer today for the first time in about six months since I switched to the Merlin's. Love to have that open air draw again.
    But... with dual, solid wire coils instead of a Clapton the amount of vapor isn't there...
    But, I won't miss watching the juice level drop as fast so I'll save some money on juice.
    But, the mizer's take a lot longer to build....
    But, the mini mizers are so much more compact.
    Ugh, I just can't have everything. :(
