I could go on and on and bore everyone to tears with my story about Mr. Robin and I. I fell in love with his personality, sight unseen. He mailed a picture to me after we declared our love. It was then decided that we should meet face to face to see if we did click in person like we did over the Internet and phone.

I met him in a public parking lot and made sure people knew I was meeting him. OMG I was so nervous. He flew from Philly to the Detroit area for that first meeting. It hurt so bad when he had to fly back. We met several times, flying back and forth for a few more months before I finally moved to the Philly area. That was...lets see.....we've been married 13 years now....living together 4 years before that..... So we've been together for HOLY COW! 17 years now. :D

Well, I have to admit it is a touching story...and I also applaud Mr. Robin for taking such good care of you. A relationship of that duration is virtually unthinkable to me, but I acknowledge your success story. Congratulations.

You know I have heard that it is unhealthy to remain monogamous for a period of time greater than 17 years...so, in the interest of helping your marriage out, let me offer my services, solely to provide some selfless assistance in this area. I feel it is incumbent upon me to at least make the offer.

Nice, I am having the same deal with the Protank 2 and the k101 and the sig 19 that Steph brought. How ever Phil B game me a mystery to solve. My ProTank II does not accept the head from the ProTank 1, his did. Is it a consistency issue, did I get knockoff heads from My Vapore store and still not hits on if it's a escalator if you're moving down.

I discovered that the T3S original heads are 1mm longer than the Protank heads I have. I tried to change the T3S head for a Protank one and it misses sealing on the centre stem by about that amount. My nickers are feeling a bit ripped at the moment, because I though I was buying devices with standardised heads.

Looks like it will have to be Protank 2 and mini Protank 2 for me. I'm still loving all the BCC devices.

I don't have such an wonderful romantic story. We literally ran into each other in the Foreign Language building while in college. As in right out of cartoons 2 people racing around a corner from opposite directions collide. I was still married to the ex back then. We became the best of friends over the next 3 years. Often sitting and chatting for hours in the student union.

He and the lunch bunch ( a small circle of good friends that regularly hung out in the union and discussed anything and everything) helped me find the self confidence and self worth that let me finally get out of a 9 year physically and emotionally abusive marriage.

After I graduated I needed help covering bills and he had one year of grad school left so he moved in as a roomate (first year teachers at that time were lucky to get $17,000 a year). By the time he graduated we couldn't imagine life without the other one.

He couldn't find a job there so we came back to louisiana. 2 years later I was standing in the smoking pit behind the school where teachers were allowed to smoke when the Assistant Principal who also smoked asked me when I was finally going to marry the guy. I told him the simple truth. When I could afford a wedding. Assistant Principal said well hells bells gal I am a minister I will do it. We were married 4 months later by the Assistant Principal of the school. That was more than 20 years ago.

Ours was never the grand passion sort of relationship. What we have is a strong friendship that deepened into a rich lasting affection.

TLDR: Accidental meeting + accidental wedding = 20+ year marriage

Fab one fix that works for some.

slipped over the post of the head is a little silicone cup thing. take it off and flip it over so the cup faces up. It will fill the gap and should work if you have not removed flavor wicks.

That's a very cool story, Myra. Don't sell it short.

in honor of the vivi but not a smack at our REAL Robin :) (i don't think honor is the right word but it's all i can come up with at the moment)

1150846_10201150541117323_1992708260_n.jpg


my protank/evod heads all fit in the protank/protank2 but i haven't bought any replacement heads (and i have rewrapped all of the protanks LOL)

maybe it is a "descalator"? :D

i am now almost actively stalking a side button sigelei....i can't get using the k100 to not feel awkward

it is interesting to me that every liquid i have tastes different to me on a made by me coil (mostly the igo-L)....some i thought i didn't like at all aren't too bad.....some that i didn't like...i don't like more LOL

Hottie have you considered https://www.fasttech.com/product/1426300

From what I hear it isn't too bad as clones go and at that price might tide you over until you find your sigellei

i do have that in my wishlist and hovered over the buy button all night....the order is still sitting...which i should just submit since the I-atty has a "ships in 7 days" listing...
I was trying to decide between that and this: $19.44 KTS+ E-Cigarette Mod / Battery Compartment - gold-plated brass mod at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I wish i knew how they "felt" if that makes sense....

(i would have gladly gotten a $10 scratch/dent if i hadn't missed it...like every other sigelei sale i have seen LOL)

on the Iatty I did order one and it is showing as ships in NINE days not 7. If it is anything at all like my AGA-T2s and my Mini DID clone it will be worth the wait though. I LOVE those things.

As for the mech I suspect it is a 6 of one half a dozen of the other which you pick.

My K100 I had to put in shorty mode with an 18350 before it stopped feeling awkward. My sentinal v3 clone however (another bottom button) never did feel awkward even in long mode. The button is just that much easier to press.

hmmm...i tried the k100 in shorty mode first and it felt weird...maybe it was too new and i should try it in shorty again. I don't want to be scared of bottom buttons just cuz of the k100...especially since i really like the magneto (even tho i have been told that the k100 kicks it's .... LOL) and a lot of other bottom button devices....

FOr me the problem with the K100 is how hard the button is to push and how far you have to push it (throw). In shorty mode I can get a better grip which gives me more leverage. I have terribly small hands which makes the amount of grip important. The K100 literally gave me bruises on my pinkies the button was so hard to push.

The V3 clone the throw on the button is REALLY short and it is super easy to push the button so it was never awkward or painful to use.

i am kind of wondering if it is the diameter of the ruffled cover....i feel like i have to tweak my hand/wrist to get my pinkie or ring finger in the right position

i looked at that last night....i dunno...too many choices LOL but i like my igo-L (which i may have said)
With ya there on the IGO-L. I have mine sitting on my sentinel V3. I have an Octopus RDA on my K100 and a Pheonix clone on an ego battery. I hated dripping before I discovered RDA's. Now I love it.

At home all I vape are rebuildables either RDA's or Gennys.

Out and about I still use cart0 tanks though.

The EA appears to have a floating centre pin set in a nylon bush. This allows you to flush mount almost anything if you want. The KTS does not appear to have a floating or adjustable pin, and it's not mentioned in the description or in the feedback.

I think I'd go with the EA based on that.

If' I didn't already have a China GG I'd be *very* interested in that one. (paid a lot more for the GG clone, and the quality does not appear to be anything like that one).

Myrany, are you screwing the K100 telescope together fully, until it stops? If you only screw them together just enough to make contact it's a very long throw on the button. I found if I screw it all the way to the stop the throw is a lot shorter and it became quite comfortable for me. I think that is the way it is supposed to be used, unlike mods with side buttons where you would just be squashing the spring flat.
