Lefty Lucy Righty Tighty!

My in-laws sink has the hot side counter clockwise to open and the cold side is normal. I need days to reprogram from that.

Chinese technology? They reverse engineer everything.

That is exactly what I was thinking when reading original post

CC, I just go with the flow.

(Sorry man, I just couldn't resist that one )

Well played, sir.

To open the airflow:

Battlestar rta - righty
Moonshot rta - lefty
Serpent Mini RTA - righty
CoilArt Mage RTA - lefty
Baby Beast - lefty
Toptank Mini - righty
Geekvape Illusion - lefty
vaporesso Estoc - righty
Melo III - lefty

I could go on, but it would just aggravate me.

So for me the problem is being left handed, none of this makes sense. Which is clockwise and which is anti clockwise?

Auntie Clockwise is a terrible, nasty lady who use to visit us a couple times a year when I was a kid. She made great cookies but was quick with the paddle . She terrified me

Agree, I much more prefer auntie Bob

Airflow control on top fill tanks. Grrrr...

Why is it that one brand's tank with adjustable airflow tightens the airflow when turning clockwise and another brand loosens when turning clockwise?

Am I the only one who expects air to be turned on and off like a water faucet? Yeah, I'm a little OCD, but what's wrong with having a standard?

It is really just a matter of perspective. If your AFC opens clockwise when viewed from the top, and this is a problem for you ... (meaning you prefer clockwise to reduce or close). You just need a different perspective >> think clockwise from a bottom-bucket perspective. Problem solved !

Same applies to those who strip oil drain plugs when lossening them from above (they forget or are ignorant if the difference in presidential reversing.

My arms are too short to take oil drain plugs out from the top....

This reminds me of the days of my Plymouth Valiant. Lefty was not loosey on left side lugnuts.
I never could figure out why chrysler did that

Looking at the tank as you're holding the setup in front of you is what I'm talking about.

If you look it from the top down, you probably drive a Chrysler.

That Slant six sure did take a tonguing. Never broke down. Wished I still had it.
They don't make them like that no more except for the left side

You might keep that in mind if you ever have to remove or install bicycle pedals. The left pedal is left hand threaded.

Life must really be challenging ... ;-)

Don't see how arm length has anything to do with this ... Some of us ride motorcycles (which is where I see most folks have issue with which way to screw threads), but would apply to all threaded hardware (vape mod's, generators, airplanes, cars & trucks, etc).

The more you pedal, the tighter they stay.

Same applies for some cars (left & right wheels have opposite threading).

I drive an F-250 and an excavator.....I'd need really long arms. In the Air Force, I worked on F-15s. Again, really long arms.
Regardless, you're choosing to ignore my brilliant wit and take me seriously. This happens from time to time and for that reason, you are correct. Life IS challenging.
For the record, I'm familiar with reverse threading and reverse perspective...and I'm ok with it. I feel all threading should be able to live as one... Harmoniously.

Clicked on this expecting Lucy and Tighty to be arguing politics.

Sorely disappointed.

 

[Eskie]

Ooh. See, I told you being left handed messes all this stuff up. It's counterclockwise not anti clockwise. No wonder autocorrect was giving me such a hard time over it.

 

[untar]

You're looking at it the wrong way, it's more like quantum physics. Some tanks are spin up and some are spin down. I don't think the manufacturers can control it.

 

[NicotineRush]

I'm soooo confused!
