Thank YOU , again

Added an edit. Only for brass.

You know, speaking of forks...I have a gp fork lying on my workshop bench and as i glance at it, I was thinking I must really be a GPer to keep that thing lying around close at hand lol

The other thing with cleaners and polish is when you apply the polish, work it like normal. Then a nice rinse with water and soap and then water. Those polished mods don't leave that "scent" on your hands. Then just dry it well. Just a method I use when cleaning jojo's gear. That's the one thing she dislikes.

Just wait. You can have one bedside, in the car, at work, by your chair, couple in your vape kit, and STILL have some for the Christmas tree.

TOO late, I just rubbed all my Odys and my X and my Simp Ti with mesh, and they look............ different


Just kidding......

 

[yankeebobo]

Yeah. Of course they look different. They look clean.

And if you rubbed the ody with mesh? Well...yeah, that would be different.

If brass ever gets away and mesh doesn't do it, a few gentle swipes of fine grit sandpaper ON THE BRASS PINS will help. Few swipes. We aren't taking metal away.

I have these foam buffing block for manicures that are really cool, they are extremely fine and cushioned Im thinking that would do well . I do have to say, the brass on the X must be a better grade of brass than normal. They are hardly oxidizing.

I now have GP forks in both car and truck, in the basement on the workbench, in the garage on a workbench, and in a little Tupperware kit for travel. Can't have too many.

Yankee the image if a GP fork decorated tree seriously had me cracking up. If I buy a few more fork requiring items I might just have enough for a little tree myself.

Has this happened to anyone? I took the switch out to adjust it to find the screw was black all on top. It even made it to the top of the spring and part of the switch base.

My coil is at 1.3 so I don't think anything is melting. No shorts...etc ...

 

[Coldpunk]

Short? Battery vent?

 

[cliffy15]

No shorting. The battery is fine. No hot switch or anything of the sort either. I'm stumped.

 

[yankeebobo]

You clean it recently?

Hello again, I am back after a 4-6 hour stare down with a DHL package. Yep, truth. Long funny and touching story. I must of sat with it for two hours with the contents in my massive paws checking it out. I forgot about the world around me. Didn't even vape during, couldn't. The first day I was glad to be alone as I was like a 5 year old with the best toy he or she has ever held. Wow. I carefully hand washed every thread, nook and cranny. Gorgeous. I worked all my pieces back and forth to a nice fit and now she sits to air dry. D is going to be in love all over. More to come soon.....

Anyway, #9 Ti checking in tonight.

While I don't usually declare all my vaping purchases to my girl (I don't have
THAT many in my mod collection) she knows I was waiting for my Ti. I told her it was expensive (not how much) but that this one was special and I WANTED it.

I had to pull out all the stops and add that I was going to buy it for myself since my two year vaping anniversary is coming up (I quit analogs mostly at her request).

I forgot to tell her it came with a bunch of (afc/x-) rings (I do?) ...

...and another fork.

You do know that that fork is Titanium right? Don't mix it in.

Congrats on 2 years. Jojo and I will be using our forks to decorate our Christmas tree this year.

Fork you.

Aside from working the threads under water, I haven't given it a full cleaning, yet, as I just got it in today. But it wasn't like that when I got it.

I cleaned off most of the black stuff but still have to do a better job when I'm at home. I'll vape it for a bit tonight and if it starts appearing again I'll go back to my v3 until I can sort it out...

 

[yankeebobo]

Oh that's nice. You have your venting session on the DHL package stare down moment, and all I get is a fork you. Well. Fork you too bud.

Ok. That's the Ti switch? Any chance some slight water got trapped in the switch? That delrin can trap the H2O. And one drop can cause some heartburn.

That was your Ti button? wow, shocking.....

I didn't wash the switch at all but I'm not going to rule out that, maybe, some moisture got in there? Vaping like a champ again... I'll watch it and see...

That was your Ti button? wow, shocking.....

That's definitely what I looked like when I took the switch off... shocked!

 

[yankeebobo]

The cautionary to keep eyes open for. Washing any tube and having a single run of water run down. Once it's trapped in a crevice, you won't see it. But it'll conduct.
I'm guessing by what you're listing for facts. Certainly not saying it's the case.

 

[cliffy15]

and just in case ... I changed to the LUX switch base for now. I'm guessing I must have had some residual moisture in the SS switch which the LUX one definitely shouldn't have.
