Chapel - I can't say I've had anywhere near the troubles you've had with clearos etc..
But as an option have you considered an Iclear 16 or 30? I've never gotten a dry hit from those, probably due to the sheer number of wicks. I think the atty heads are rebuildable too but I don't imagine it's easy what with the 30 being a dual coil.

Chapel, Lori uses 100% VG also and say's that her heads only last one day (sweet juices also) so you may just be stuck with that unless you find some clear juice's you like ... sorry :(

I can certainly deal with that if it is the normal expectation....it is when people claim five weeks and I get one, then I feel like an idiot.

    It's quite alright sweetie. You know how I'm working right now so I fig if I don't admit I'm sick then I'm not. Atleast not in my mind anyway...my body...well that's a different story. Hehehe

    Chim, thank you for the encouragement!!! I do appreciate it, though I wish you felt better!!!

    Thanks dear! I'm finally getting rest so hopefully that helps it improve:)

    Oh hon! I'm so sorry ... I'm kind of stupid when it comes to vape stuff ... it either works or it doesn't :facepalm:
    The only thing that comes to my mind at the moment is whether or not your juice is "dark", that might cause it but I believe I saw you say somewhere that they were not?
    Also, from my own experience I'm beginning to believe the heads just don't last as long as we think they should :confused:
    Afraid that's all I got, maybe someone else smarter will chime in later :)

    Oh good, I wondered since you normally do hang around a bit more.
    That really doesn't sound good on that washer huh? :glare: Keep us tuned in okay?

    Hey VG! Thanks for sharing that, I really want to see the story unfold :) Cracking me up! :laugh:

    :w00t::banana::w00t: Yay!!!!!!!! That's good enough! Wonderful news GG doll! :wub:


    8-o That battery has been on the charger like that all afternoon!!! Should I pitch it now? :facepalm:

    Yep! They're done. Good thing is the charger stops charging them once they're done so no worries sweetie;)

    LOVE your new avi!!! But, I always LOVED Lite-Brite :laugh:

    Thank you sweetie. I just always get emotional, today was no different.

    For those who do not know, my father is in the nursing home. He has Alzheimer's. He's been there for 6 and a half years. :(
    He can still walk with assistance, he can sometimes eat on his own, other times he needs to be fed.
    He ate his cake today on his own, scraped the extra icing from the plate with his fork, just like we do. Drank his coffee, just like anyone else, then just when I was thinking how nice and "normal" this was going, he picked up the paper plate and tried to take a bite out of it too.
    He's still one of the "good" ones, on the wing. However, he really doesn't talk much. When he does, it's what they call "vegetable soup", basically gibberish. He still uses hand motions, facial expressions, and posturing when he is talking, so in his own way, he is till holding a conversation. He has no idea who I am, I think that I'm a familiar face to him, but he can't determine how/why he knows me. He still smiles this great big smile when I tell him goodbye, and that I love him, so I just pretend that he knows me. ;) (Even though he hasn't for over 8 years now.) I think he really enjoys the interaction, and seems to enjoy having someone to visit with.
    So that's still comforting.


    Sorry you & Dale aren't feeling good today!! Hope the meds help!!!

    AND....I LOVE YOUR NEW MOD!!! LOOKS AWESOME!!

    Yea!!! Welcome to VAPING!!
    Just kidding.

    Okay, I've been vaping for a year, my last stinkie was Sept 10th, 2012. Here is what I have found works best for me.
    Your Protank and Evod tank, are basically the same technology, the protank is glass so you can use the juices that frost or break the plastic ones. (if you know all this already, just humor me....:D) If you plan to continue to use the evod heads, you may want to learn to wrap coils. It's a pain in the rear, but my coils weren't lasting longer than a day, even rinsing/soaking, etc. didn't help much to extend their life. I like that fresh "new" taste. ;) From what I understand, the higher the sugar content of your juice, the faster it gunks up and kills the coil. When I say "kills" the coil, I just mean it gets gunked up and tastes like DOO DOO!!! It technically still works. ;)

    I had the very best luck with purchased replacement evod head coils from Sun-Vapers. Kanger brand....no generic. They're just better....don't care how much the others will save you.
    Kanger Protank eVod atomizer heads in 1.8 2.2 and 2.5 ohm for $5.79Sun-Vapers.com

    For cartos, Ikenvape. Period, end of story. I keep about 4 or 5 going at one time. I fill them and keep them in a Rx bottle with 1/2 of a cottonball in the bottom of the bottle to catch any drips. I rotate through those, then refill all at one time. I probably don't vape the carto as long as I could, but I don't want to fry them. Ikenvape cartos are awesome, and they will last longer than what you will probably be comfortable using them. I finally pitched a group that I know I'd used for 5 weeks.....just cuz it was grossing me out to think about how long I'd been using them.
    I even tried cleaning them once, and it did work, and they still worked pretty good, but I still couldn't get past it being gross to still be using them after 5 weeks. Just me. :laugh:

    If you decide to jump in and rebuild coils, let me know, I'll be happy to scrounge up some links for you, and tell you about supplies.
    They can be made for a FRACTION of what the replacement coils cost, BUT...it takes awhile to sit and wrap them. (But, others may be faster at it than I am too.)

    .......whew........that' my story and I'm sticking to it. If there is newer technology, or better advice than above, go with it. I haven't been outside the Lurker thread here on ECF for months. If I venture out, I end up with the wantsies! :p So, I just stay here.

    :pop::pop::pop::pop::pop::pop::pop:

    :rickroll::rickroll::rickroll::rickroll::rickroll:


    Sorry for the volume........headed for the tub....then jammies, then the couch. :)

    Hey Lori! Thanks! I think she's quite pretty as well!

    I'm so sorry to read about your dad. I do feel your pain. My grandmother (the only active grandparent I've ever had in my life) had Alzheimer's. It's a tough thing. Her kidneys were failing closer to the end so it made it impossible to treat both but it was a 2 year struggle. I forgot to mention this was while I was away for school in michigan & that she lived with us for the last 20 years of her life. I felt so guilty being away but in her moments if clarity she would also tell me to go back & do good.

    Ok. I'll stop. Always brings tears to my eyes when I talk about her. I miss her so much when I go home. Feels strange that she's not in her bedroom even after almost 5 years. You and your family are in my prayers as always!:wub:

    Gah!!!! Faux pas! Faux Pas!!! Lori! It was you with your dad, not Chim. I got lost in the quotes on my phone app!

    I have no idea how I fell asleep for so long after I left earlier.
    Guess I needed that.
    Gosh I hope I didn't mess up my sleep for tonite. But I guess either way Ill eventually get another couple of hours before I have to be up bright & early.

    Well Reggie's coming by to check on me & bring me some dinner in a bit so if I disappear for a while I'll be back...again:laugh:

    Hmm I think you just need to tighten everything good
    and take slow Vapes.
    I use 100%vg with no thinners and get months out of my equipment.
    Before I learned to draw slower I did burn my wicks. It takes time for them to siphon up more juice-specially if it's thick juice.
    Of course ymmv...

    I got a lot of rest so I'm hoping that helps. I get off work at 4 tomorrow so hopefully between today & that rest tomorrow I'll be fully recovered soon.
    I have to share you with Reggie again? :grr: :laugh:
    Well, okay ;)

    I bet you do sleep tonight, when I'm really sick like that I can sometimes sleep all day and night so hopefully you will too :)

    This place is so loving! I'm moving in, where can I put my couch? I'm small, I won't take up much room.
    OH! :ohmy: We thought you all ready had :) Put it wherever you are most comfortable dear ;)
    Here's you a nice blanket to cover with
    Sorry it took so long......... I got stuck :blink:

    Finishing up play practice. Had a minor grrr moment. Dh called me and said hello half a dozen times while I am trying to say hello and hang on while I was trying to get my coat on and get outside to not disturb rehearsal. Hate when that happens. I got all aggravated...which made him aggravated....

    Hehehe! I'm sorry sweetie! But you get me tomorrow too!:wub:

    That's what my mom said. I sure hope I can. I really needed it though. I didn't sleep well last night either. Plus I know I need the rest to get better. So I'm gonna follow instructions & take some meds(even though I hate meds)
