Tejas is the Vapor Shark noticeably lighter in weight verses a Stick 50 ??????

Good morning all you fine looking kiddos!!

Hey El Dee, the 50 watt istick might just be a teensy bit lighter than the Vapor Shark rDNA30. But just barely.

It took me a while to get here because ECF wanted me to change my Password. And I had to think of a new Password. I'm only permitted two "Smarts" a month and its only the beginning of March, so I had to use my one "smart" very wisely.

Geesch, I see I missed my old girl-buddy Free. That kid is something special. Greatest sense of humor I've ever seen on a person. Really special!!

I was sitting around talking to those little voices in my head this morning and we decided, as bad as I hate to say it, that I'm getting ready to do some serious, big time housecleaning downstairs. Its time. Its REALLY time! That danged pig Free gave me refuses to be house broken and just does what it wants, where it wants. And I can yell at it all day long and it just sits there and grins at me.

And then that danged headless chicken. That bird is a monster. Its the same chicken that always tried to do an airborne attack on me when I was outside napping on that old plaid couch out in the weeds by the bass boat. I chopped its head off and was going to eat it, but it refused to die and is still running around. Headless. And of course, not having a head it runs into everything knocking things off tables and stands.

It likes to ride with me on the 4Wheelers, so I keep it around for some company. If it wasn't for that this chicken would be baking in the oven!

Its supposed to get up to 73 degrees here today. And that's good because I can drag in the water hoses and clean the floor real good without it turning into an ice skating rink.

I do wish some of you pretty gals would come help me today though.

Thanks for the weight info Tejas....I've trolled the shark site numerous times but never pulled the trigger due too price....I've been on the cleaning kick for several weeks....Sure it could have been done in a couple of days but cleaning house is not my favorite thing by a dang long shot....

Should one need an ohm meter and like one made in the USA...

USA OHM METERS

I got the ultimate ohm meter....clear w/orange led....It's actually Pokey orange!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll tell you El Dee, I gave that VaporShark rDNA30 some thought before pushing the big, red button.

Well, not too much thought because I tend to get whatever I want (salem will attest to that!!)

But ever since that thing ended up in my hand I've loved it.

And if I ever break it or lose it I'll have another one immediately.

The positive and negative battery terminal inside the rDNA30 are hard to see, so I painted in some Liquid Paper and made a big plus mark with an indelible ink pen. No guessing about which way the battery goes in.

HAHAHA!

The ultimate ohm meter without a doubt-- the world is always better and brighter in Pokey orange!!
(I've been thinking about one of these, actually, thanks for the link)



And thanks for the compliments on the setup, everyone!


The o-rings, TT, are just not quite the right red to complement the raspberry tones in the 50W.
Ask the guys at the truck stop—I am sure they'll agree.
And Wuzz will too, I'm guessin' ;)


Yes, Tracy, the win goes to the swirl DT (we are definitely on the same page!)
Currently running the KSM at 11.5W on the .6Ω coil using that black snazzy-razzy DT--no more vaper's tongue, here, thank goodness.

Received my CoilMaster in the mail today--a little bit of learning curve with that but I've got it down. Mostly. Sorta.
Well, save for the counting part...I get a little lost in the excitement and lose my place :facepalm:


Credit to Salem for that find as well...

Woot and thank you!

(Hope your day at Walmart went better...)

The second link works fine Salem, and I thank you too as I am always on the look out for some good DIY recipes!!! I am still building my flavor arsenal though so most times I find that I do not have everything I need. :(

Ok, I am out now, gotta get these errands finished....back later! Good luck at Wally World!

Thanks, Tracy. No luck today but, at least I called before driving the 35 miles one way to get there. They were supposed to have one of her meds today and I am SO glad that I called first. So, I took my mom for a hair cut and grocery shopping. Back to Wally World first thing in the am and they better have her meds! They were supposed to call me when they got there and so far, no call :mad:

Thanks for the links 908 and Salem !!!! I've already seen recipes on both links that warrant further examination...My intent trolling the other site was to maybe see if the cloud chasers had some recipes too share....Not with the sole intent too copy them but more to get an idea of the flavor percentage they use....However I'd copy a recipe if it sounded interesting...For a long while I vaped mostly cheesecake and strawberry mixes....CC I've not vaped in a good while...Thing is while I never really got great CC flavor it blended well and took the edge off many flavors...Kinda smoothed out the flavor profile if you will...Given the amount of vapor we're producing with RTAs my line of thinking is drop the flavor percentage and nic a shade and up the VG percentage a shade...High VG is known too tone down the taste....After hell hammering the KSM my throat was starting too feel it...I think the 70% PG may have played a strong role and 50% or maybe 40% PG will be experimented with in the future..I always figured the cloud chasers were using high VG for clouds only...I see now there are other benefits as well...

Wharf I saw from the git KF air flow would be limited by what passed through the screw holding the positive post....528 hogs out the juice channels pretty good....It may/or not play better with the tails of the wick done "Goblin Style"...Not laid across the deck...I didn't refill one KF and will break it down today and see what the specifics are on the airflow...Being it's a single coil I can get Pro Vari friendly ohms from the KF...Any improvement will be welcome but it will never approach the airflow the newer tanks have brought too the table...

Remember the LR 306 atty? I loved them but, my throat felt like hamburger after using them for a day. Finally had to just quit using them because the pain was not worth it.

Tracy, that other link has 100sm of recipes. I would be glad to email it to you if you like as well.

To top my day off just right, I got an email from a friend in FL. He just moved to an apartment there. I had a box with probably $150 to $200 worth of vape stuff to mail to him. I know how apartment mail gets delivered and I told him that I was concerned. Well, my concern was valid! The package says delivered and it was not delivered to him :( Once tracking says delivered ( even though it was insured priority) there isn't squat that we can do about it. I knew that I should have sent it signature confirmation. UGH!

Cool, LD. I am going to share that link.

Hey TT, you know that you can now change your password back to the one that you had if you want to? I think that alot of people here do the same.

If I were the cat living in Florida I be getting a mailbox at the UPS Store or somewhere equivilent....

Matter of fact last week I sent three 306s too the landfill...and some 901s and 808s...Now I've got plenty of room in my accessory box....

Pokey I thought the new rig was rocking...I'm running @13.5 watts...the vapors tongue has left the building....

Tejas that Shark is sweet...If I was gonna throw down on a mod I'd have to roll with a Dark Star...Right now I'm throwing down on electric bills...

Thing I like best about USA Meters....other than it's way more accurate than a PV when measuring....It doubles as a build stand....then just flip a switch and wah lahh....there's the ohm reading

I have a SMOK meter and its something everybody who builds coils needs.

It just doesn't make any sense to build a coil and then only check it when you put it on your PV. I check the coil every single step of the way.

I wasn't up that early by choice Tracy! Katie decided that I needed to get up at 8:30 because she needed me to take her to the grocery store. The day went downhill from there...but tomorrow is a brand new day :)

Salem, sorry to hear your day wasn't better, and sorry about the lost vape mail.

Katie bought some of these at the store thinking they were sodas, this ought to be fun ;)

Then I'll be so gone!!!!

Good evening folks. Dang what a busy day. Good thing I'm retired. I don't know when I found time to work full time. Had a positive meeting with my health ins. co. this morning. On the way there I noticed a Vape store and filed it in the computer. Can't remember what I had for breakfast but I remembered that store on my way home. Nice place without out of sight prices. They had a sale catalog and I picked up a Kayfun Clone for $20 and another Igo-w for $10. Don't know if that's a good price on the Kayfun or not but it sure is a neat rebuildable. Wonder how low I can build on ohms on it. I built a 1 and change ohms, stuck it on a mechanical and wowzers. USPS sent two of the four mall order packages to the wrong town yesterday. I filed a complaint and they called while I was gone. Told my Bride it was a human error and they should be in my box tomorrow morning. Had a bunch of schtuff to deal with when I got home and now it's about bedtime.

Dang Salem. Sorry to hear you had such a rough day on two fronts. Seems like missdelivered mail is getting to be the norm. That's the third one I've had go astray in a month. I was lucky to get the last one back and hoping these two will actually get here. It'd be nice if the person that got the wrong package were honest enough to return it but the way things are these days who knows. Night all and hope you have a better day tomorrow.
