I often wonder where my brain goes when a vaping problem crops up ... this might help others who share my brain challanged senior moments ... Certain clearos like the Freemax Starre fill by both the glass and its stainless coller unscrewing as one piece instead of just by threads as many plastic tanks use . No matter how carefully I was lightly tightening the glass tank and coller, I couldn't remove it for the next fill up. Shamed to admit it never occurred to me the hot pyrex and stainless coller were simply too hot ... cool by blowing , by water, by waiting, or even 4 minutes in the freezer and it easily unscrews. This I imagine is more an occurrence for those who sub vape and use 50 to 220 watt boxes.

You're not alone in those moments, Wiz!

Amazing how often we forget the "obvious" - and not just in vapeland

Even worse it took me over a week to even think of it ... got a slight memory jolt seeing your Maine .... cat avatar ... have tried for days to forget my lost 'Goobies' .... I must admit though that cats are certainly different ... my family marched in with a year old cat that is so totally different in love needs and disposition that knowing what I know now I would have gotten a second cat years ago ... I saw a slogan on the net that was certainly true in my case .. " Maine Coons will always be your buddy but never your 'baby' .. lol, that was true in my case but I served him well for 14 years !

Oh ((( wiz ))), you won't ever forget Goobies. The pain of the loss will get better but he will always be there in your memories. With all the fur and feather friends I have loved and lost the pain finally eased but the wonderful memories are still there and not a day goes by without me thinking of them. I do hope your new furbaby is helping to fill that hole in your heart.

It even hurts my heart to type with Goobies as the topic ... the new furbaby has helped a 100% , but I'll continue to nag God that of all things that should live to 100 years old, why oh why would it be Parrots and giant turtles of all things ...

Actually, my avatar isn't a Maine, "just" and American short-hair. Had to put him down late spring, shortly before his 15th birthday. But his brother is still with us, in spite of a thyroid problem. (Overactive, and he was, literally, wasting away... Thankfully he's responded well to meds, for the last 2 years!)

And a 7 year old half Himalayan. They keep us warm. And mouse free
