Thanks, hon.

Same with me....I go there and read and laugh. New members are asking questions about p.v.s that are way more complicated than my little set ups. They are much more sophisticated than the new members were 3 years ago. :laugh: They are discussing volts and watts and ohms and rebuildable coils. :ohmy: When I was a new member, we were discussing cartomizers vs atomizers and Bloog vs V4L. :laugh:

    Ha! I don't think they are more sophisticated at all; they just start out with equipment they don't even understand :facepalm:
    And all that talk about sub-ohms is kind of worrisome :unsure:
    We seem to have enough problems without people doing stupid stuff :mad:

    LOL's ... my first pv was a Pigomizer, little did I know what a mistake that was! But I found ECF within a month of starting and quickly switched to eGo's. Now my go to is the ZMax mini and I'm very very happy with those :)
    My main search was for tanks and I'm pretty much hooked on the IBTanked carto/tanks now ... gonna take a while to switch over completely tho' cause they are a bit more than I'm used to spending on a tank, but they're worth it :)

    And I am happy with my little 14500 Squall...with my 3 vari volt options and I love the Aro tank. Single, bottom coil and cheap. And I love the popping noise it keeps making until the coil needs replaced. I am thinking this will be my set up forever.....if they don't stop making them. You know how that goes!

    A Pigomizer? :laugh: That is a new one on me. Sounds like someone describing me when I am eating chocolate. :D

    Yes I do and I kind of hate that they keep changing everything ... but then I'm one of those people that doesn't like change much :blush:

    A Pigomizer is one of those battery's that only takes a certain kind of tank ... a Pigomizer! :glare:
    So when I learned about the 510 threading thingy I was pretty quick to switch over! :laugh:
    Time to get cleaned up for my trip to chiro. See you later, Dale. Enjoy your morning. You made mine enjoyable. :)
    Oh, good ... I didn't want to be bothering you :unsure: :D
    CUL :)

    Hey beachmates :D
    I made it home :thumb: Lots of ice and sleet and snow here. The driving was rough, esp on the secondary roads. But I am so happy I am not stuck at the hospital for the day. Got to get back there this evening :(
    Night ;)
    Glad you made it home safely Tink:)

    Good morning and good night! ;)

    Oh yes indeed, Vaping has clearly exploded :)
    I do still go to the New Member's and General area's some, but there is very little I can help with :(
    Seems all the so called Newbie's start off with equipment I've either never heard of or have never ventured into :unsure:

    Sure do hope you can get some relief for that bum knee :?:

    It doesn't take long for us to get old and outdated. 8-o :laugh:

    Good morning Beach. :)

    Well, chiro took back xrays...sure enough my spine and hips are out of sync so he is scheduling 3 treatments a week to whip me into shape for the Bahama trip...then he sent me over to another chiro's office for laser therapy, which she provided and she also put lemon balm on my swollen knee. She said it is really good for muscles and tendons. And she is going to give me a therapy treatment after each chiro visit. We will see....it seems to feel better already, but that might be in my head. The chiro also suggested I get a good ergonomically built chair for my computer desk...so I guess my $20 special has to go. And they both told me to get some good tennis shoes and put arch support in them. All in all they spent a lot more time with me than the ortho doctor. Fingers crossed that they can help.

    Now I have to find a good computer chair for the height challenged. Hubs is coming home early and we are going to Staples to see what they have.

    Hello Beach Babes and Buddies. :)

    Good Morning, Beachers.....

    Came by last night...no one was here, so I went shopping. I did end up buying 5 Squalls/eCab V2 from Topecigarette....I figured even with shipping that only came out to $15 each, and I was afraid they would not be around much longer. So, you guys not being here cost me $78. I explained to hubs that it was your fault, so I am off the hook, and now he is looking for you. :laugh:

    Hello, Glam. :wub:

    OK, you spent $78 on 5 Squalls, and I'll take credit for that, :laugh: but I know it's because you're a woman and you bought the Accessory Bag for each one.

    :D :lol:

    Sorry Stefanie was too tired to visit, but how is she? Did you get a report from the doctor or a nurse?

    Good Luck with the knee low laser therapy. I hope you'll have enough healing time to go comfortably cavorting around the Bahamas. :)

    And all that talk about sub-ohms is kind of worrisome :unsure:

    LOL's ... my first pv was a Pigomizer...

    Hello, Dearest. :wub:

    I had never heard of the PigOMiser. I Googled it. It looks like a CE4.

    Sub-ohms can be pretty safe, as long as you fully understand battery safety, the Mech you are using, and know how to safely build an RBA/RDA. There are certain IMR batteries that must be used to be able to safely draw the Amps required. I just don't want anything that HOT as a rule.

    I did try my CRH at 50W in a Dripper RDA one time, not realizing it was that high of Wattage. I got an RDA at a vape meet on the "Take it or Leave it" table. I thought it was there because it was broken. Myself and 3 other guys couldn't figure out how to open it, but I took it anyway. I got it home and figured out how to get the top cap off. It's a dual coil RDA that was already coiled up with two 1Ω coils, coming in at 0.5Ω. It didn't work on any PV I had because of 0.5Ω, so I put it on the Passthrough I built that connects to a computer power supply.

    I tried it at 3.3V, and it didn't do much, which was surprising, because that's 21.78 Watts, so I connected it to 5.0V and
    wow_zps82ea6279.gif
    . At 50 Watts, I could not believe the Flavor from my CRH. I only did about 3 vapes, because the RDA got as hot as a light bulb, but the vapes themselves weren't Hot, like burn your throat hot (harsh, heat hot). It was incredible!!! But this was CRH. I normally vape my CRH at 11W, but (for me) any other juice needs to be down around 6-7W, with some even lower.

    So I can say that I understand what sub-ohms are all about... the Vapor and Flavor. I'm just not one to pursue that on a regular basis. :) And the real concern for the Newbies is understanding all the Safety factors. :thumb:

    And I am happy with my little 14500 Squall...with my 3 vari volt options and I love the Aro tank. Single, bottom coil and cheap. And I love the popping noise it keeps making until the coil needs replaced. I am thinking this will be my set up forever.....if they don't stop making them. You know how that goes!

    You should be able to get replacement Heads for a good while. :) But they are different than the wildly popular ProTank-type Heads, which will be around for a very long time. One can use an ARO Head in a ProTank, but not vise versa. I read that this is because of the collar. But if the time comes when you cannot get replacement Heads for your AROs, there will probably be another tank like it, or you can go to the ProTank Mini, which uses a Head that has become universal in many tank designs. Why Smok made a proprietary Head for the ARO is unfathomable today.
