How to spend a Saturday

[jeffakamax]

Wow!!!

17 members are on this thread at this moment! Chuck is getting more an more popular.

to the topic of xhaler: Jeff should just put a patent on his work and there wont be any rip offs.

If you had any idea of the amount of labor (time) and resources needed from beginning to end... no patent needed. They would be $200 if it was outsourced. Walk into your local sign shop and tell them you want a custom graphic for anything. They will start off with a min. of $40 set-up charge plus a min of another $20 for the first decal. That's almost the full price right there. Ask me how I know...
There is a reason mass-produced things have a limited number of options.

FYI, with the exception of the base color options THERE ARE NO 2 CHUCKS THE SAME TO DATE!. Well, there are 2 RedBull ones but they both went to the same customer. So if you have a custom one in your hand, it's the only one on the planet. That's the definition of "custom".

For those following Einstein's progress here he is!
Remember how he looked a few weeks ago>
I need to build him a duck house now.
He's living at my sisters and in the last 2 weeks she has rescued 6 more ducks.
Maybe a duck condo?

Yup, and besides.....I like the variety of other mods out there. I have made several myself!

Theres just something very special about thee Chucks...This thread, for one..of course the custom art, interacting w/other fans, the fact that the Chucks work every single time we press the special lil button....

The size choices, battery options fit for people who want thier equipment to work for long periods of time, the quality and craftmanship, the price compared to others, etc.

I have other mods, and will prob get an XHaler too, as Im a fan of Drews products. It really is all about buying and appreciating things from people who you feel you can trust. I came this()close to buying a GG at one point, and even tho Imeo responded to every single question I had, the wait and wait and wait and wait pushed me to other avenues. Jeff says 2 weeks, I have it in 2 weeks. Period! I like that! Telling me 3 months, then in 3 months being told 2 weeks, then in 2 weeks being ttold another month at least was a HUGE turnoff for me w/the GG. SO, no dice. I have ordered in total 5 Chucks. So far, I have no doubt my trust in Jeff is sincere both ways.

About the XHaler, Drew is another awesome person. Great products, great service and a damn good man. I wish Jeff and Drew all the successes in the world, in my book, they have earned it.

Now, wheres todays prOn, DAMMIT!!!!?????!!!!!

 

[crashtestjeep]

AWWWWW!!!! EINSTEIN! Jeff, hes so much better and soooo cute!!!!!

 

[Jackie P]

Yay for Einstein, glad he's doing well!

On the mod front...I have various mods too, and will probably continue buying in the future as money allows. Guess I just like variety. My Chuck has a special place in my heart though because it's so personal to me.

Who is good at dialing down nic strength? I have some 24 mg I traded for and I vape 18 mg (24 is to strong). I have empty 5 ml bottles, can anyone tell me how much 0 nic I need to get to 18 mg. Either by the ml or by the drop? Math is not my strong suit. lol

Thanks

A little confused, but I think you're saying you have 24mg juice?
And you want to get it down to 18mg juice?

24mg + 12mg / 2 = 18mg

So you want to mix half 24mg with half 12mg to get to 18 mg.

 

[DC2]

3 parts 24mg 1 part 0mg will give you 18mg.

24mg divided by 4 equals 6mg.

3 times 6mg =18mg

Have a great day!

Geez, I should try READING next time before replying.

Judging by the color coordination with the outfits I'm going to say girl not guy (Sorry if I'm wrong frazzled)



Probably tough to patent a cylindrical battery holder, but I don't think Jeff has anything to worry about. I don't see anyone being able to match him on quality, customs, and service in the near future.

well your wrong lol8-o

 

[Hellen A. Handbasket]

Awww! Einstien looks so happy and in great shape Jeff! Will the Duck condo be made of recycled brass and copper shavings? LOL

Will he be adopted, or will your sister keep him?

That right there is why I think so highly of the Chuck (and Jeff). Jeff is obviously not in this for the profits. He loves his craft, and his customers; and it shows in his work and service.
The Chuck is NOT some.. run-preorders-til-you-get-enough, don't-care-that-your-customers-have-to-wait, mass-produced-in-China, generic-looking-POS.
Each one is a one-of-a-kind, handbuilt-with-care, piece of art.

Even though you all know it, and I've said it before, I just had to say it again.

Thank You Jeff for doing what you do.

BTW: everyone is always asking what date you are up. What I really want to know is what number are you up to? How many chucks are there in th world now?

dam that duck looks much better!

That might be between him and the IRS

Hi DC2,

Thanks for the post, but I have 24mg and 0mg.

I am going to try. 3.75ml 24 mg nic and 1.25 0mg as was suggested before (3 parts 24mg and 1 part 0mg to get to 18 mg..

One day down, one day closer to me getting my chuck. And thanks for posting the Batteryjunction coupon codes everyone I ordered today and hopefully timed it right for the arrival of my CHUCK

WOW!

Einstein will live out the rest of his Ducky days amongst his new accomplices, several chickens, a few dogs, and several colonies of cats at my sister's house. I'm sure there will be pics of the Einstein Inn once I get started on it.

How many CHUCKs??? I'll just say over 300.

What day you ask? I have 1 left from the 31st, than I'm on to November!

 

[highping]

well your wrong lol8-o

Oops Sorry fraz, I guess men can color coordiante too.

That might be between him and the IRS

Yeah, I thought of that after I asked the question. But I'm sure those sonsa.....es check paypal, amazon, ebay activity anyway. Sorry for bringing it up Jeff.

 

[eZiggy]

Jeff, you are absolutely right.Thats why I cancelled my order with a certain company (not gonna say its name here) with failing switches and delrin this and delrin that, and went to buy myself a CHUCK!

Customization is a great thing-a thing of beauty I should say.But also you make reliable products,made by you personally,with every bit of attention that you give to it and outstanding warranty terms.I once read the whole "Saturday" thread from beginning to the end and yet to find any failures of the equipment or anybody complaining about your products.That tells a lot!

As for other vendors and their mods and their fan base: I say to each their own.I went with Chuck and think I made the rightest choice.

HOW TO AFFORD ENDLESS CHUCKS:

Take $5-$10 per day that was used for analogs over food/gas/whatever it is you gave up to get them, and put in a jar/drawer/container with graphic(s) of what you want on ur Chuck(s) glued onto it.

NEVER miss a deposit, bc you never missed one, no matter what when it came to those so-needed analogs.

Now, every 2 weeks, you can now afford a new Chuck!

I spent on average $8/day on analogs. 8x7=$56 Therefore, every week n a half, I have yet another Chuck that can be afforded. To SAVE money and still buy Chucks, Only buy one per month, he! he!

HAPPY CHUCKING!!!

Ok, I have a question... Has anyone ever tried nic juice on any kind of food? I used some 24mg caramel on some vanillia ice cream, and it was fantastic. Anyone else? Or am I just a weirdo?
