I have an official vape cabinet! It's so nice to have a place for everything...and everything in its place. Two weeks ago I removed all my cookbooks and phone books and other junk and made this one for vaping only. :)

View attachment 177560

After today's order, I'm gonna need another vape box. One for just HHV juice. Maybe I can find something suitable at the thrift store! ;)

very nice. My wife would kill me if I took over one of the cabinets. lol

Hate to tell you this Bud, but I gave you the solution to this months ago. You can prevent buggering those 510 threads with one of these:

eGo Thread Sleeve Type D Small Tank - Fits All Std eGos CHROME [gv-egoTYPED-SmallTankeGoThreadSl] - $2.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

It screws on to the ego threads and supports those novas, so the 510 threads don't have to take all the stress. Works perfect with LTs and Vamos. Plus, it prevents smashing down those center pins. I tried to tell ya man! If you do get a new LT, use one. It works ( I have one on each of my mods that accept ego threads down in that drip well).

You probably did try to tell me Ice. But yuh gotta remember, this old man doesn't remember anything anymore. :)

I have one of those sleeves and I use it in combination with a 510 to 510 sealed adapter to achieve the same thing. Seems I have another problem with this new LT. It burns everything even at 3.0 volts. Tried to measure the voltage but now my multimeter is acting up. I can't win over here.

Sounds like it's time for a new Mod :)
 
Just ordered two full mini Vivi tank systems which includes three total heads each, and an extra tube to replace the one that broke. I'm excited about the black colored tanks! And I also picked up a blue one to go with my coral blue drip tip! So now I'll have three minis and one large tank in my arsenal. Altsmoke with points deducted, and 15% off code HEART15, the price was only $20! It never ends does it? :facepalm:

Is anyone else afraid to order thinking that maybe there will be a better sale somewhere else especially around holidays? It's like I get all panicky but I pulled the trigger on this one anyway. I just don't have time to shop around much though but I didn't think that was a bad price for all that.

I think I'm picking up another mech mod same as I bought the other day so parts will be interchangeable...and then I'm on to wick and wire. Scarf has inspired me with her success on rebuilding! ;)

E-pocalypse be damned! (that's a hard word to spell!)

We think alike. I'm seriously considering throwing in the towel and just getting a Provari and getting it over with.

Might as well. It's well worth it. The only real cheap mod I have bought that I actually like has been my MVP. Out of all the junk I have bought I'm down to using 3 mods. My MVP for carto tanks, my provari for my AGA-Ts and now my reo. Everything else has been sold or put in my sock drawer.

I really wish you had been able to use mine when you had it. But you do see how heavy that thing can get when it has a battery in. It really is a great PV. :)

RJ...the fact of the matter is you ladies are more capable of rebuilding an atty than us men. Y'all have those nimble little lady fingers and can working with these smaller attys better than we can. When you get your wick and wire, let me know (or someone who has rebuilt them) and we will help you get through the first couple of them. It wont be long and you will be able to teach someone.

There's no doubt Robin. The provari is robust. When I handled yours, there was nothing surprising about it. It met every expectation I had of it. It's like everything in life...you get what you pay for. I think I'm looking at close to $200 for a provari. All I would need is the provari itself with the 18650 cap extension. I wouldn't need batteries or charger. I'm thinking that's $200. I'm cheap. :)

Welllll...I'm practically blind and I have carpal tunnel. But I'm gonna give it a whirl. I'm also gonna pick up some of those cheap already wrapped wick/wire sets that Bivie told us about...just in case I can't do it. Oh...I also want to get a Phoenix RBA. And some nic base. And and and...LOL! This is too much fun! I may need Mostlysunny to keep my budget in check like she did for Pic!

You can get a blem with an extension cap. Then you're looking at about $175. I got a blue blem and could not figure out what the blem was until I got my extension cap later on. The extension cap is a little lighter than my provari so I figure the blem must be the blue coating was a little too dark. Still nothing I regret for saving $30

April can be rough! Go ahead and try those bivie wicks. They look like they would work. You might want to check with Hula too. I think she was springing for those bivie wicks as well. She might be able to give you a review on them.

It really doesn't, but that's half the fun! :laugh:

Get a mini.. :) well that's what i wish i would of done.

I wish I'd gotten a Mini, mostly because it's more pocketable with the only sacrifice being battery life. My main mode of transportation is a motorcycle so the smaller/lighter anything can be while still getting the job done, the better. I love my V1, but it mostly stays at home while my 5V Woo/Wow and ProVape-1 travel with me.
 
You need a skirt like the one I have on my pipe. It gives it a nice tapered flow and sits well at the bottom of the tank.

You know, that really is a fine looking e-pipe. It's amazing how the vaping world just rocks. My Dad, every once in a while (when he smoked...he quit decades ago) would smoke a pipe. I loved the smell.

Alright...I gotta quit goofing off and get to work!
