Perhaps my environment is quieter than yours. I can hear and feel (resistance) a distinct difference. I don't think I could do it another way with these attys, since I would forget when I last put drops in it and how many. I'm using the same method with the bottom-feeders (which is like dripping upside down) and it working very well, although from what I've read in various threads I doing it differently than other squonkers.

Maybe you are more tuned in to your setups than most. Those cat like instincts are paying off in your vaping experience.

How many flavors do you guys go through in a day? Not finish off in a day, but switch out during the day?
I have 17 flavors of DIY on my desk and I probably hit about 10 of them in a day. I strongly suspect doing this is why I very rarely deal with vapor tongue.

I am in awe, no wonder the little 510 dripping attys don't do it for you.

I did order two of those Fasttech pyrex tanks, and one of these, $5.03 SM20 Electronic Cigarette Round Mouth Detachable Dripping Atomizer for Empire KeCig K100 - black at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

All in black, I have no imagination!

Well I have started my August vape ordering. Picked up the sentinel clone, an Igo-L clone, a Phoenix clone, a DID clone, some drip tips and another set of batteries from fasttech for under $60.

Next on hte list and AGA-T2 + stainless steel mesh and my monthly DIY flavor order but those will wait until I can reload my prepaid visa.

The pyrex tanks are doing wonderfully for me so far.

The K100 I only have one complaint with and I suspect it would be fixed if I ran it in shorty mode not 18650. the join of the colored bottom tube to the metal inner tube which is exposed in long mode has a very sharp edge. After a full day of using it my hand has raw spots. Not really blisters yet but pretty tender.

SO today I am using other devices to give my hands a break.

Edit: It just occurred to me I could maybe wind a rubber band around the joint to soften that edge. I may try that after supper. :)

Mesh wicks just keep going and going and going, and you can work them out of the coil, dry burn the coil and rinse the wick, and they will keep going and going and going and ..................., well you get the idea. Baditude and Ehuman have some useful blogs about these.

I just got the RDA that has an K100/Empire theme, not the actual K100. I hope that rubber band trick works, sometimes the best solutions are the simple ones.

He's young but for the record I didn't mean to imply it was me on the video. He's a friend and even though I'm 35 I'd prefer to count my age, not in years, but in the real friends I have. But joking aside, did you get a kick out of it or just think the reviewer is a joke? Just curious :)
Was gonna say...lol my co worker's husband I swear looks like he's 15...he's still young though maybe 25 at best :p

I wasn't really able to watch it much with my little one running around.

I really am not as nuts as I sound. I am trying to get my stockpile to the self sustainable point before the Oct deeming regulations hit. Once those go if they are unfavorable the rush to stockup will be on and there will be shortages. (Yeah can ya tell I live in a hurricane zone?)

I figure with rebuildables, mechs, and DIY juice I can go a LONG time.

With my last batch of juice I am down to 2 MG nic. I figure I can be down to zero by deeming regulations with half a bottle of 100mg nic left over.

Yeah Chelle named me well when she named me the Duchess of DIY.

Usually about 3. Light Horse is my ADV, but for variety I switch to my own coffee extract at 7%, and also something else I am playing with (currently the Lucky Strikes recipe) but also have one or two dessert flavours. I'm yet to find a dessert or fruit flavour that I can vape for more than a few minutes though, so I'm happy to have the Lucky Strikes to use as a diversion. It doesn't seem to work well in the Vapeonly - it's tasting way better in the Phoenix RDA, possibly because it suits the warmer vape better.

I agree with Myrany - switching flavours is very important if you vape a lot.

Hmmmm interesting maybe that is the problem I have been having lately. I have just been sticking with one and something that tastes good at the beginning is blech and gross in a couple hours. Just a really weird flavor. I cleaned and changed my heads out but that did not help the issue. Perhaps I need to fill a couple tanks and switch around.

That is really odd, because on mine the coloured tube has a bevel all the way around, no nasty sharp edges.

It isn't assembled upside down is it (quite possible to put it together the wrong way - it's threaded the same all the way through.)

ok see the bottom part with the ridges. It is literally the top edge of that colored part that is sharp. Mine has the bevel but the very top edge is straight across and sharp. It is rubbing my hand raw. :(

Extend it out full length so that you don't have that tiny bit of inner tube to use as an anchor for button pressing and your thumb lands right on the sharp top edge of the colored part.

Maybe a strip of decorative tape?

I would be afraid the glue would muck up the finish. I am going to try winding a rubber band around it to even out the transition. The hubby said a little bit ago when I showed him that if the rubberband works to take it to the hardware store and find an oring I can stick in that transition that is loose enough to be easily removed when I want to go to shorty mode.
