I'm not a cloud chaser either Pop. Most people are not.
I often wonder about the mind set of smokers/ex-smoker gone vaper. Almost nobody cared how much smoke the average cigarette put out as long as they got their fix of nicotine or whatever from it. If you wanted plumes of smoke maybe you'd light up a big fat cigar or a pipe - larger area of burning tobacco = more smoke. Why is it now that they are not smoking any more they are into creating fog banks and rain clouds, when before they didn't give a hoot about it? Bogles the mind it does. :blink:

I'm pretty sure that Ro at HHV will take offence to that comment, along with a lot of the girls at B&M's here that I've seen chucking the vapor with super sub-ohms and mech mods. :)

The second KFL+ I received had the same issue as the last one. :(

So I decided to gently raise the center pin like some of you suggested and killed my iStick. :grr: Which one of you is gonna reimburse me now?! :confused:

Actually, I'm just kidding. The KFL did have the same problem as the last one, but after slightly raising the center pin on my iStick, it's working fine now. Thanks a lot for the help. :)

Could be Bronze, but when they were smokers they didn't give a rat's fart about how much smoke came out their ciggies. Now they're Vaping and wondering how to shut down runways with cloud banks!

It just doesn't make sense to me...

A Rose is a Rose is a Rose and it's up and running! Filled with Chris' Blend from NET.com. Not a bad little tank. On the inside, we have a 2.5 ohm 2.5mm ID, 30g coil with Rayon wick. Don't know for sure why, but I've been bumping the resistance up on my coils lately. I was vaping 1.3 - 1.5 for the longest time, then I bumped it up to 1.8 - 2.1ohm. And the last two are 2.5 ohm. However, I've been playing with sub-ohm as well.

The atty itself is quite well made - machining is good, threads fit well with no burs or shavings found. Only one minor mishap. The tank came preassembled and when I took it apart I found one of the o-rings was missing from a tank section. As I took other stuff out of the box, I came across the missing o-ring - it had somehow broken and was laying inside the box. I Love the stand/tool! I can see using that with other attys. All in all I'm pleased with the new toy. :D :headbang:

Well, almost 5 o'clock. Did someone say Beer Run? :toast:

I'm still in love with my Achilles BTW. I have tried so many juices in it. Everything is better in it. Even things I didn't care for before are good.

It's absolutely perfect for what I needed.

Having a hard time choosing a drip tip. The titanium is a hard color to work with. Any great drip tip vendors I should look at? It's overwhelming.

Cherry vapes mini universal. Loving this driptip. Was scared at first due to diameter but once I started using that fear went away.

I find it strange. As a smoker, I smoked dry organic tobacco in hand rolled cigarettes. It was harsh which I liked. Like being kicked in the throat by a elephant. When I started vaping.. I tried everything I could get my hands on and progressively found that I enjoyed a warm moist dense vapor from a .3ohm dripper using 12mg 50/50 over anything else. Even though I'm confident that 80pg/20vg 1ohm in my R91% is as close to my smoking style as I could find. My shift to vaping came with a shift in preference. I couldn't care less about the clouds but the way the vapor feels makes me a cloud chaser? My pv is as discreet as I can arrange and when vaping in public I'm always looking for a corner to hide behind. My clouds are unavoidably comp grade. But I get your point. I didn't get to this place through want for clouds. And I do see people who smoked lights and only when out drinking, become cloud fans.. maybe for the attention that I avoid. I point at the social media and selfie generation. Thats the only explanation I can find. Attention seeking. There are exceptions of course. But there's a majority with no excuses. Btw I'm drunk.

    Quick Question : anyone ever tried 'torching' a Stainless Steel RBA ?
    I am trying to torch the top cap of a Hornet SS BF. I want to get it all the way to dark purple, which I read is possible. But I seen to have trouble getting past a brassy color... Using a BurnzO Matic propane hand held torch (Harry Homeowner type stuff)
