Good morning everyone, it's 11:05 am GTM+1, Day 5 in front of the zenesis temple.

I know this was yesterdays news, but I missed it.....
Still not caught up on this thread.
I can help if you still need it, just let me know.

I did want to share my story of my youngest.
This is gonna be long:

She had many ear infections, and she didn't talk well.
Even at 4 she was still talking only in vowels. It was the oddest thing, but her tenacity still
amazes me. I had to interpret what ever she said. TV (television) was e e. School Bus was oo ah.
Her sisters were ay-a and ah-e (Megan and Ally). Sound it out... she pronounced the vowels sound perfectly in any word, just
completely left off the consonants.
Literally, she did not pronounce any consonants AT ALL. Except Mom-Mom.
That's what she called me. Everything else was only vowels.

Anyway, so after 2 years of arguing with schools and doctors that there was something wrong, she finally developed the habit of putting things up her nose.
EVERYthing. Pieces of diaper wipe, food, play-doh, you name it, it would go up her nose.
We had to take her to an ear/nose/throat specialist and no lie...
he pulled 7 items out of just one side of her nasal cavities. Started with a tiny flesh colored plastic teddy bear off a hair-tie, a piece of crayon, a little blue thing we have no clue what it was, a few pieces of diaper wipe, some chips (food), and a press on finger nail.

When he pulled the tiny plastic teddy bear out, he said this is going in the case.
I said, what case?
He said my case of s@#t I've pulled out of kids noses. LOL

He also said, at the time, she held the office record for one side of the nasal cavities, but not the entire nose. (!!)

Anyway, we then took her to a hearing specialist, who told us she had chronic fluid in her ears, and he was the wrong doctor to help her.
Back to the e/n/t doc who put a tube in both ears.
Same day surgery, and my tiny little 4 year old just walked off with the nurse without looking back to "play with the toys".

Recovery room a couple of hours later, she sees me, sits straight up in bed and says plain as day:
Mom-Mom, I can hear!

All that time she had been talking and repeating words as she heard them.
Stick your fingers in your ears, that's what she was hearing.
When she sat up and spoke so plain and clear, I lost it.

So.... yeah. Tubes in the ears can be a good thing, and your little one is in my thoughts.
And to repeat, if you still need some help, let me know.


I used to work for an ENT who had frames filled with 1" by 1" squares...they all had objects removed from various orifices(?) and labeled..lol. Kids put everything up their noses...LOL.
The one that looked the most paiful was a metal turkey call which was removed from a man's esophoagus....youch!
One thing I always tell my friends who are parents or grandparents....get to an ENT, don't keep messing with the pediatrician. For some reason, most of them refuse to admit that they know nothing about ears and will keep pumping your kid with antibiotics instead of getting the PE tubes and getting it over with. I've seen kiddos who have been on antibiotics for 2-3 years!!! Not good.
If a middle ear infection goes untreated for too long...it can eat through the temporal bone and into the meninges of the brain...meningitis!! (this is a worst case scenario, but was common before the advent of antibiotics. People used to die from ear infections)

Ok, time for some real PV porn...
I got sick of knowing that I had a pv made of the best ss money can buy with such a mediocre finish, so I spent the past few hours posted at the buffing wheel polishing my Zenesis Standard #0078! I also modified my airflow hole to 5/64" and added a slight bevel (which I think is aesthetically pleasing as well as cuts down on the whistling noise when you take hard pulls from it". Running 4 wraps of 30g kanthal a-1 with some 400 mesh, and this baby is vaping like a cannon! Also should mention that I polished very internal component of the switch, including the washers and magnets. Hope everyone thinks it's as sexy as I do...






The stock air hole is more than adequate, but since I've been running 3/4 wrap 30g kanthal a-1 coils, the added airflow vastly increases the vapor production. The hole might look a little bit bigger than it actually is in that pic b/c of the bevel I added.

Looks incredible rwechsler! Shiny is good!

Now tierrataz, what do I have to do to get more flavor? Change the wick? I went down to 4 coils and it's definitely producing more vapor but flavor is still way muted. It really sucks to get all that plumage and it tastes like I diluted my juices down with a ton of vg.

End of day 3 with AYS and still looking for the flavor.

Looks really beautiful ! I will not polish mine because of the fingerprints. I don't want to handle it with gloves on ;)

Ahahaha, that's just a microfiber polishing mitt, I'm not THAT .... about my shinies. I'd take fingerprints over the grime that starts to build up in the machining lines any day myself...once you do the intial polish, upkeep is actually much easier b/c you don't need any abrasive polishes to keep it looking brand new, just give it an occasional wipedown with an untreated polishing cloth.
