I dripped myself into a nic coma last night LOL! Gonna have to use my 0 nic in it until the honeymoon is over ;)

Got the snow thrower primed and ready for the season. I was amazed that it started on the first pull. I sure am enjoying not having to mix oil and gas together for it.

The size comparison pic came out really dark, but I wanted to show the compact size of the RX200 next to the istick 50 and the ipv 4S. The RX holds 3 18650s! VW, and temp control for Ni, Ti, and SS. Unfortunately the batts are on the charger so won't get to play with it much tonight.

Took a few rips off my dripper then put one of my Crowns on it...forgot the Crown had a 1.2 head in it. It didn't survive 80w :blush:

My only thoughts so far is that it takes too damn long to charge these 3000mah batts :laugh:

Oh...and it feels great in my hand! Love the compact size and shape!

And after looking at those pics again, let me just say that I hate what this psoriasis has done to my fingernails :blush:

It feels great Moon...I'm just a tiny bit disappointed that the all black one doesn't have the grippy feeling sections that that hideous white and teal one has. It's not slick as greased owl sheet, but I was hoping for the rubbery sections.

Looking forward to playing with it in SS temp mode, and then maybe Ni mode.

3 18650s.....My my.....What I wanna know is how long between charges.....You think the 650s take a while.....well.....The new Sammy had a door nail for a battery...I'd found an Optima glass mat battery for less than 1/2 on the Craigs....Same old don't have to sell turned too desperation a couple hours later when I didn't call back...I told him I might call back BTW.....Old door nail showed me a slight pulse after a couple trips around the farm....Sammy has a Chevy 100 amp alternator conversion so it ran damn fine off that alone after a boost too start....I use Noco genius chargers for the autos...yeah they're good and charge all types of auto batteries...Simple, small, auto set to any battery and slow as FedX....Good news is I started at less than 10% charge and it was approaching 100% late last night when I pulled the plug and went too bed...Those big for sure fire starting capable batteries I don't like to leave unattended....That Noco has just saved the Evel One about a hunnert or so

My bottles are in Ohio.....since when the Hades is going from Jersey too NC via Ohio considered shipping.....Lollygagging IMO....They on tour...Not the sellers fault buy any means but anytime I see shipping by FedX I cringe.....

Salem I hit that post....Old boy was talking Claptons and I'm a KISS type myself...I read some posts on the subject and it had been determined the juice wasn't worth the squeeze for the Aromamizer...So I stuck with what I had...Last coil I fiddled with for 30 minutes was a Dragon something or other....Hell yeah I had a pic on my screen and mine looked a little better if anything....I saw no improvement....Spin it....stuff it....Puff it....that's how I roll....

A tour of the FB reveals everyone pushing an agenda.....crying like a beech....the sheep are crowded in the pasture and think they're wolves....I got a hot dog in my lap....No agenda to push....Time to spin one and not give a damn about the world I live in....All is good here

Glad you didn't have to fork over for a new battery for the Sammie.

I had to charge the 18650s last night, but I been using the RX all day .5ohm/45w and the batt indicator hasn't moved off of full yet. I haven't tried SS temp mode yet. I'm breaking in a new head so I'll probably up the wattage later this eve. It is a heavy lil dude with 3 batts, but I love the hex shaped body and it feels nice in hand.

Yeah I might need one of dem RXs.....

Got my battery in the Sammy wired up to Dee specs....Something was whop whopping when driving the Sammy...Previous owner said the front axle needed a rebuild...Digging in I find a broken mount on the transfer case....$35 X 3....Hummmmmm....Research reveals the factory sheet is weak....several aftermarket transfer case mounts use the stock Suzuki mounts.....Hummmmm....In my mind I see using leaf spring style mounts but I gotta spend a week or so cutting and hacking up a mount....then I find Zuks Off Road and dang if his doesn't use leaf spring bushings....I'll be having one of those please....

Helped Auntie/Uncle and cousin move a king size mattress up a set of stairs that a single mattress would hardly fit through...Done!! My cousin is setting up living quarters in an old pack house...Pretty spiffy and Unc/Auntie lived there when their new crib was being built....My cousin...her name is Liz BTW, my sister and I are the only ones in the family that got my Granny's red hair...Granny pretty much always favored us for that....We three stick together as well....Back in the day I would let Liz sit on my Paint Horse "Commanche" while I led him around....These days she's a speech therapist/ horse trainer/ barrel racer...

I saw a new Kanger tank with top fill...It was offered in a kit that had no info on the tank just a pic of the top screwed off...there was also word of new coils....Hope they're better than those last coils....1 used 4 trashed....Anyone seen that tank ????????????????

Plastic bottles.....I've seen them long and skinny with pointy tips too allow filling the tank....I'd like to have some that hold @30MLs or so....Right now I've got the RTS offerings with the needle tips....70/30 still takes a dang long while squeezing the daylights outta those bottles....I've also got some lids black lids that screw on any bottle and accept needles...those are old and have never made a proper seal with the needle...plus I've looked and have no idea where I got them....

The Jaybo looks interesting....Price is great....Batteries are in series and not entirely sure that allows longer run time....Still the 4S runs twice as long as the D2 and I would assume since both are IPV they would be wired the same....What kills me is the D2 is tiny and the 4S is way huge....guess IPV is one extreme or the other....Jaybo has 3 batteries and no where close in size too the 4S...Still the 4S has never missed a lick but dang you need a trailer too take it on a trip....
