And a rose for yer toes.

(I'm wacky. I admit it.)
After 2 weeks or so using the Wismec Presa, I am fairly impressed. The form and build are very good. No issues with the quality. Just wish the battery lasted longer. I am getting about 8-9 hours on my kayfuns at 10 watts. Haven't tried the tc yet. I need to find a good tutorial on coil building, first.
I've been looking at the Wismec Presa TC40W for awhile.
Is its quite unique firing button as fun/convenient to use as I'm imagining it would be???
Yes. Yes it Is.
I have one, mentioned it here a few times in early Sept @pg157-160+
I wouldn't consider it an itty bitty.
ijoy - left; subox mini - middle; joyetech vtc mini - right.
Right... I remember now... I thought I was pretty clear.... but thanks gerry
You were--I wasn't!
I am using USP. I guess to be on safe side i should call the company that makes the walmart one called HUMCO...unless somebody already knows and can save me the work? As long as it doesn't come from an animal source I can continue using it for now.
It is sorta critical for me at this point.
@andria, thanks for the condolences. I figured you'd be interested in this since you have an interest in allergies. I really also wanted to get the word out, they are seeing a lot of people thruout the Southeastern US (and SW as well in tx, ar, la. etc.) .....even a few hospitalized. People are not aware that they have the alpha gal and it can be quite dangerous/serious .... So if anyone starts to feel truly unwell after eating red meat (and this was sudden for me.....I've never been allergic to any meat in my life) you should remind your doctors about it. Although most hospitals know about it now...or are learning fast.

found my answer here. Mark was on the forum for a while and is a pharmacist, so I imagine he knew what he was talking about (I think ECF had it up as a sticky for a while, actually, since it was such a good explanation):
"Go to the skin care aisle of most any pharmacy and you'll find a small(usually 6oz) bottle labled Glycerine, USP(Some pharmacies don't carry outright , but will special order for you). The label may have it listed as CVS Glycerine, USP or Rite Aid Glycerine, USP or Humco Glycerine, USP or Family Pharmacy Glycerine, USP etc.. you get my point. Whatever it's labeled, it's Glycerine, USP 99.5% anhydrous(meaning 0.5% water). It will cost anywhere from $3 to $6 for 6oz.(CHEAP) This is vegetable glycerine, absolutely, positively, no doubt. How do I know this? I'm a pharmacist. All OTCglycerine,USP is made by 1 single manufacturer, HUMCO. It is then contract packaged into the different pharmacy labeled bottles. I've personally called HUMCO and spoke with their QA(quality assurance) person. He assured me that HUMCO's Glycerine is in fact Vegetable source Glycerine.
The reason it's labeled Glycerine and not Vegetable Glycerine is because #1 it is listed in the USP as Glycerine, USP and therefore(in order to keep the USP certification) must be labeled as it's listed in the USP and #2 it would cause confusion as Glycerine isGlycerine(regardless of the source - chemically 1,2,3-propane triol also sometimes referred to as Glycerol), to add the moniker VEGETABLE, makes it sound like it's two different and distinct products, it isn't. Also, USP grade Glycerine is the purest you can get. Food Grade "vegetable Glycerine" you get in health food store saying 99.9% is BS. Since they do not have to meet any standard(such as USP standards) they could say anything, they could say 10000% pure. If you get USP grade, you know you are getting exactly what is labeled(within allowable USP limits) and it is made to most stringent requirements available in the US. (i.e. USP stands for United States Pharmacopeia- drugs have meet higher standards then foods do).
Kashrut(kosher) laws are Jewish religious dietary laws having to do with the preparation of food products and really have nothing to do with the labeled purity of the product. Also, Kashrut(kosher) laws are jurisdictional(handled differently in different places). In some cases a rabbi must come to the manufacturer and verify processes and equipment conform to kosher law and in some places it's enough that the manufacturer says or thinks he is conforming to the kosher laws. In any case USP and Kosher are 2 different things. There is no such listing in the USP for "Kosher Glycerine". To the people who are feeling naseous using pharmacy bought Glycerine, USP, it may be a placebo effect(thinking your not using the real VG) or you may have a sensitivity to Glycerine(unlikely). But it is not because the Pharmacy bought Glycerine,USP is inferior or NOT Vegetable Glycerine."

You may never know for sure...
You could try calling Humco.Look at #3: Composition/Ingredients: The exact composition is a trade secret.

"They should make this a sticky because the newbies always ask this question. I'm a pharmacist in PA. I'm going to copy and paste a post I wrote in another subforum:

I was bitten by a tick this past May. Was treated for Lyme and will be monitored for awhile.. This is good to know. Thanks Racehorse, sorry you have to deal with this. But the info on Humco VG is good news.
As in comedy, timing is everything.
Put it on the ticks and they suffocate?
Just a conjunction of two related posts and immune disorders.
Nice to see you over here, Mike!
