Wait, you've been on the receiving end of Deb's skillet also? I think I've still got lumps from the last time I have her a reason to swing it.

Congratulations Mark!! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy! 
Thanks for the congrats! Found a sleeve for it at FT, now trying to pick a couple of 26650. Time to check Mooch's shootout.
Update -- probably better getting four new hg2 at $18.60, instead of 2 AWT yellow "75A"/4500 mAh at $17. (GB sale on the HG2)

Morning Krewe! Court day, so it's already hopping around here
Dumb question from the infrequent flyer...
Quoting:
Loose lithium batteries are not permitted in checked baggage on any United flight. Each spare lithium battery in carry-on baggage must be individually protected to prevent short circuits. To do this, you can place each battery in original retail packaging, place each battery in a separate plastic bag or protective pouch, or insulate the batteries by taping over exposed terminals.
And also:
Electronic cigarettes and personal vaporizers are not accepted in checked or gate-checked baggage. These items may be stowed in carry-on baggage or on your person during travel, however, the use and charging of e-cigarettes and personal vaporizers is prohibited onboard all United flights and in United ClubSM locations.
Does this mean my battery cases are not acceptable, since they have 2 batteries in them? Also, I'm not seeing anything that says I can't have a battery in the device...so can I leave a battery in the mods or do they have to be removed?

It's a pretty awesome little tank. Very, very similar to the Moonshot, I believe. Kinda weird, because the build deck rotates until you get everything locked down... but it has keys so that the juice holes in the chimney stay aligned with the ends of the coils as you put everything together.
If you've got 0.35Ω SS coils on the Fuchai, just switch it to TC mode and pick your version of SS. Then (with everything at room temp) hold the + and - buttons and lock the resistance. Set your temp (I'd start between 400°F and 450°F depending on how you like your vape) and give it a hit. Believe it or not, I'm actually preferring TC mode to wattage mode on this device... and I am NOT a huge fan of TC. As for not being able to hit 213 Gigawatts, I couldn't care less either. The only people who run that high are doing so for braggin' rights anyway. I almost picked the blue one, myself, but that orange just seemed like it would be awesome. Then it got here, and it was even better than it looked in pics... more of an anodized orange rather than just orange paint. Even my wife thought that it was cool as hell! And she NEVER gets excited over my vape gear!
Hahahahaha!!! Why do ya think I called him over to our l'il slice of heaven here? @b.m. is as jacked up in the head as I am!!
(You know I mean that in the nicest way possible, Brother!
)Huh... to my recollection, I've never been wacked wif da skillet..... course it'd be hard to remember if I had!
I haven't been on a plane in decades, and never will as long as TSA is involved. That said, I believe your cases will be fine. The last batteries I purchased from IMR, came in cases, so is that not retail packaging?
But what do I know?.... nothin' that's what.

Anyone here have any knowledge of FMLA? I asked at work last night and was told I have to be employed for a year before I can apply for FMLA at work. With Colton's health issues I need to be able to take off work without the worry of losing my job.
Batteries -- I've traveled fine, but to comply with letter of the law, put a tiny tab of elec tape on the terminals of each battery, then put them in your battery cases. Put a spare piece of elec tape on the back/outside of the case, for use on the return flight.
I've left batteries in mods, with them turned off, and tossed whatever tank I'm using into the ziploc liquids bag.
(Walmart has some tiny ziplocs, 2x3 and 3x4, in the crafts area. 2x3 is a snug fit, but can hold an 18650 and still be closed, while the 3x4 IMO is more convenient.)

@markfm - WAH-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Brother! Congratulations
I'm not knowledgeable about this, but you might want to take a look at U.S. Department of Labor ? Wage and Hour Division (WHD) ? FMLA Employer Guide and http://www.fmlainsights.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/311/2016/04/FMLA-Guide-for-Employers.pdf
Page 16 of the 2nd link is where they talk about eligibility, 12 months and 1250 hours. No idea if there've been any more recent updates, though this guide was just released in April.
Good morning(I think) all!
Good morning, Sweet Pea!
Of course I've never made disparaging remarks about grits... grits are awesome!!! Especially when ya do 'em like I did last night. I made 'em as a side dish to go with fried chicken. Grits had sharp cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives... how could anyone make disparaging remarks about that?!!? Grits is multipurpose food!
As per Find Law's Website
They have it broken down into an easy to understand format.
FMLA Eligibility Requirements -- Who is Covered?
FMLA leave is not available to every employee. FMLA eligibility requires the following criteria:
- The employee must have been employed with the company for 12 months
- The employee must have worked at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months prior to the start of FMLA leave
- The employer is one who employs 50 or more employees within a 75-mile radius of the worksite
@LynnNC
Also from the same site I linked above:
Alternative FMLA Leave Options
Employers who need time off for medical reasons but who are not covered by FMLA should discuss alternative forms of leave with their employer. In some cases, employers may grant unpaid time off at their discretion based on the needs of the business.
Sometimes an employee may also use vacation or sick time as an alternative if FMLA is not an option, or may consider taking short-term or long-term disability if offered through the employer. Check with your manager or Human Resources department for your company's policies on other forms of leave.
Getting Legal Help
If, after speaking with your manager or Human Resources department, you need help determining your FMLA eligibility or reasons for denial, you may wish to speak with an employment lawyer experienced in FMLA-related matters.

Thanks!! Now I have lots to read. But..it all boils down to the fact that if I take time off from work to get Colton's health issues under control I'll probably lose my job. Oh well...my child comes first.
