As I am out of Kanthal I will not be able to test an idea that has been running around in my head about making a type of small conical coil to test in the IGO-L, so when I get some I am going to mess around with different coil styles, I have about 3 in mind, damn, I am glad I start work next week. Now, I just have to find my schematic for the Guitar Pedal mod.... :D

I seen this cone coil in the micro coil thread, looked really cool. not sure how the outcome was, one minute there was a picture of the coil, the next it was gone. they have made hundereds of different coils in that thread, even a round one but in the end it seems like a standard micro is still the best.

Ok that actually made me LOL. with Halloween being yesterday. We set up a projector out front of ten house and play it's a great pumpkin Charlie Brown. That's one of my favourite lines in the movie.

i figured someone would get it! :p

bet not many people know Todd is into Gilbert and Sullivan (well, even though he does record some of their songs), but this is funny:

ordered from mbv quite a few times, don't like most of them but do love 2 especially. caramel candy and moo juice are fantastic. funny thing happened to me on the last order which was 2- 50 ml bottles of caramel candy & 2-50ml bottles of moo. when I received them it seemed they were a lot lighter in color then usual and when I vaped them, they were missing something. in all 4 bottles the juice wasn't producing any, I mean absolutely no throat hit at all. I contacted them about it and told me they were going to re-send me out all 4 bottles. this time the TH was back. it seemed as if they forgot to either add nic or maybe pg, (not sure because they really couldn't tell me). although the new bottles had the TH the flavor does seem to be lacking, it doesn't taste as good as in the past. has this ever happened to anyone before?

yup, root beer used to be my 2nd favorite vape. got 2 orders of it (as well as dulce de leche) that never made the grade. i fixed the ddl, but root beer has never been the same. never complained to the company though. i figure it is a training/high volume issue and well, sometimes..."stuff" happens.

they're still the source of most of my juices. i just DIY the stuff i really like. :vapor:

Congrats on not picking up those cigs. Keep at it and it will get easier, probably sooner than you expect. If you could knock the pain pills after the surgeries, you've got this!! I quit right after a shoulder replacement and am now just off the pain meds myself so I can relate. This is a very supportive group and you can vent here. There's usually always someone around willing to help out. It's a great, fun group of people so stick around!! and welcome!!! :smokie:

Yesterday I resisted an urge to buy a pack. Day before too. It's still not easy sometimes even with the e-cig for me. But that just seems to be me. I almost died from pneumonia when I was 3. Had severe asthma until I hit my teen years, watched my grandmother die from lung cancer, my aunt die from throat cancer, my grandfather had emphysema and then dropped dead from a heart attack. My other grandmother also had a heart attack. All related to smoking. And I still started smoking at 13 years old and have only just now quit for the 2nd time.

I have gone through two major back surgeries and have had 0 problems coming off of Vicodin/Oxycontin/Percocet/Loretab/and a host of other pain medications ( though the Oxycontin required the help of mood-stabilizers for a few weeks after) and I'm here to say that cigarettes are way worse than Oxycontin (......) to quit.

This site appears too good to be true. I suppose they will be the next place I try juice from (SO CHEAP!), any issues with cartos from them?

Thanks!

just keep in mind that they don't make the juices till you order them. many things affect vaping quality in the juice. what ever might clog a carto, high vg, maybe, will do so with their juice too.

they switched their flavoring supplier recently and that will also have an impact.

while we tend to "Ramble On" abit, feel free to ask about any specific flavors you might be interested in. my 1st bit of advice would be to think very carefully about their tobacco juices. some are good, some ok, and some not so much. their tobaccos are a long time steeping!

most of their juices require steeping, but ask away!

True, but it never hurts to experiment, the vertical coil came out amazing best vapor and flavor production I have gotten out of an Evod, however, not sure how long the cotton will hold up, saw someone else using hemp to pack around the coil. Next time I am going to use one of the flat all cotton pad, I believe it would be easier to pack in there and hold up much better. I have like 3 other coil types I am going to give a shot, one in which, kinda hard to explain but would make putting a silica or cotton wick in it much easier, I had been thinking of all the different type of fishing line knots I used to use and will probably try some of those out as well.

There have been a few times I have gotten some juices that didn't seem right, one for instance is the Utterly Nuts, I thought it was just due to it needing steeping but it still doesn't taste right to me, I get no peanut aroma or taste out of it, I still have it and it's like 2 months old and still to me doesn't taste anything like a Peanut butter milkshake, but I may have just gotten a bad batch as I know there are quite a few people in here that love the stuff and I so love the peanut butter, hazelnut etc.

yup....that settles it....no rebuildables for me beyond recoiling basic heads....too much trouble...maybe someday!! you guys have fun!! :p

I was double & triple hitting the RSST on my vamo at 7w. No wonder.
I just tried it at 11w and there's more flavor but a lil burnt. Single hits work but smack smack yup kinda burnt.
and that's where hot spots come into play right?
PITA thing :glare:

they got me this week too. my fast tech order went from Hong Kong to San Francisco quicker than it did from SF to Kent, WA, which is so-so, but even quicker than from Kent, WA to Auburn, WA...which is the next town south of Kent. i'm 15 minutes from the Kent PO!

one last Todd song before we see if sleep prevails...

It looks exactly like the raw veggie juice I just made and drank. Don't know of anything else that deep of a green color other than something that has lots of leafy greens in it. Mine was de-lish btw!! :p

lol, I have never tried the stuff, but that was myfirst thought and then looked at it a bit more and it's a bit darker, maybe she will tell us what it is!
