Good to hear you're getting help Fran...

Got a new mod coming....Asmodus Amighty....100 watt...single 21700/20700/18650...Touch screen and no up/down buttons...Gonna have to see how all that works...Hit the bay for a couple of 40T Samsung 21700s....running 30T Samsungs now...Got one Oceanus that will not run past 3/4 battery...Frustrating but hey...I got my monies worth for sure...If I like the Asmodus I'll order two more and retire the Oceanus fleet....

Deck for the propane tanks is built and sitting where needed...4x8 and it got heavy....Strained everything that could be strained....Gotta level it and plumb in the tank then there should be FIRE!!!!!! Got a repair job at the beach...Gotta head down and check that out sometime very soon....After deck leveling and water pumping I gotta hit the Petco for treats/food and the juice supply is below critical level....

I got the UV filter installed today (stainless cylinder on the left). I'm glad I did a pressure test before the final connections (using the black hose at the bottom) - it turns out I needed to tighten the flow restrictor (small stainless item to the right of the uv filter outlet) one more turn [emoji3] I'll do one round of chlorine shock to take care of any residual stuff, but it's not a very high priority.

I hate plumbing, but it's nice to know how to do it when something comes up.

I'm purely a 510 driptip person, Bov, you're welcome to any/all of these 810s:
Red
Green
Narrow-tall ultem
Narrow-tall delrin
Ultem

The green is a pretty resin tip, though a shorty; got it with the Pulse V2 which is awesome in single coil mode (I use the 510 adapter and an ultem 510 dt).

 

[Bovinia]

My little baby projects are nothing compared to the know-how you and Dee have, Mark! But I give myself an E for effort

I would take the taller black drip tip, thank you. The green is a really nice color, but it's the shortie I'm trying to replace.

Good morning, all.

Bov, I have a 5 pack of 810s that I got from ft by mistake. I have zero use for them. They are packed away in one of the gazillion boxes of vape gear that I have not opened since the move. They are yours when I find them but please take Mark up on his offer. It may be awhile before I can put my hands on mine

LD, I have an Asmodus touch screen. I was afraid I would hate it at first but it turned out to be one of my faves. I have yet to buy a mod that takes the 20700s yet. I hope to one day as I am heavy vaper and battery life is an issue for me.

Hoping that everyone has a great day!

 

[Bovinia]

Salem I totally understand the gazillion boxes and being able to find stuff after a move!! I had all my stuff except the necessities in storage in Columbia from Dec 2017 until Sept 2018. I was so afraid the mortgage would fall thru that I didn't have my storage container delivered to me until after I closed on my house, even tho I was already living in it and paying rent.

It's a very kind offer, and I'd be glad to have the 810s when you find them...but don't go to any extra effort looking for them. Thank you very much! Just message me for the address any time

Ok coil people! Refresh my memory on dual coil building, please. I prefer about .5'ish ohms, so I need coils that are in the .2+ range. Is that correct?

 

[El Dee]

Pretty sure if you want .5 resistance you build two 1.0s....I roll single coil...

Nice looking system Mark !!!

Finally got the new heater on line....Still a few loose ends to tie but it's making heat...Most of the water gone from under the house as well....Now if I can only get an extended period of no rain all will be fine....

20700s are great....21700s are even greater !!! Battery run time is a non issue with either...The way the trends go I expect most new mods will be 21700 capable....I recycled my 18650s too my flashlight....

 

[FranC]

Glad you got that done,Dee Heat is always good. Especially in these parts.

Good morning,folks.

 

[Bovinia]

Yay for heat getting finished! One less thing you have to worry about, Dee. And thanks for your coil knowledge.

Morning folks

Hurricane Florence blew the vinyl underpinning out from under my beach trailer on the front side...Older gentleman who lives near me also has a beach trailer with blown out underpinning...He offered me the job and I completed that today....While there the battery in the Tacoma sheet the bed....Barely got it jumped and hit the Auto Zone for a fresh one....left there and got my underpinning all sorted out....Was a Hell of a day but much got accomplished....All that and then drove home....

 

[Wharf Rat]

Hey all... I'm still here ... Mrs Wharf had a 3wk vacation and 2 1/2 for me. It was good to be able to take care around the house and just had a real relaxing time.
Kia is flying home on February 5th. Her contract was up two days ago. Her and her boyfriend are going to travel Japan for a couple of weeks. I AM counting the days !!!

I was only 2 when Woodstock happened. Would’ve LOVED it though <3

I was 11 during Woodstock. One of our gang's parents had a cabin on Donner Lake. We would pile into the cars after work Friday and head up the mountain. We had the Woodstock album set. Every morning we'd start by playing Grace Slick Saying "Alright Friends, you have seen the heavy groups, now you will see the morning maniac music."
Then she yells, Good Morning People. Believe me, it's a new dawn.... We wore that album out !!!

Sadly, the good old days are gone for good.

Goldie I had just turned 18. We caught on the radio that there was free concert in Golden Gate Park in SF, with The Kantner Slick Band and Jerry (Garcia) and Friends. I didn't know much about the Dead. We took a 2 hour drive to the show. I took a Tab, the band played me and that was the day I hopped on the GD Bus. 43 years later and I'm still on the Bus .

 

[Bovinia]

Dee, that "to do" list never ends, does it? Glad you're getting some hurricane damage repaired.

Woohoo Kia!!

 

[FranC]

Morning,Bov

Glad Kia will be home soon,Wharf I know you can't wait.

 

[El Dee]

Yeah....The to do list....We've been gifted some great weather as of late....Well except for the rain...Temps have been moderate for January...sadly that's all over now....Coldest temp of the season tomorrow a.m. Not looking forward to all that....

The Asmodus is scheduled for arrival today....Really looking forward too the new {to me} Samsung 21700 as well....The Sammy 21s I have now are great....these should be even better...

Now I need to make a deposit so I can order up window tint and a window regulator for the little Toyota...those windows need a proper tint as does the Dodge....The tint in the Tacoma has given up the ghost and has adhesive seeping through....back before one could pay to have windows tinted I did my own...With 3 vehicles needing I figured best to revert to my roots....Gotta pay Direct....Gotta grab another propane tank and have it and another filled...Should last me till almost Spring....Gotta hit the TS and grab a gallon of the PG....Needing to go on a savings spree....It never ends......

 

[FranC]

Take time to rest,Dee. It's too easy to burn out............

 

[El Dee]

Fran these past few weeks have reinjured my left knee....Pretty sure it's a torn ACL....Fighting that underpinning X2 yesterday has my hands cut up....Main thing on the agenda is lay low and take it easy....After getting the propane secured I'm gonna clean the shop so I can get the exhaust on the little Toyota...Trust at a very relaxed pace.....

I find my bad knee bothers me the most when I have to get up during the night and not so much during the day. I'm kind of worn out ATM at not getting much sleep but I'll survive.

 

[salemgold]

Fran, I would tell you to get some rest but I know better. You can’t and you won’t.

More hugs to you my friend.

I am getting ready to go down the family hospice road again myself. My mom was placed under hospice home care today. I will be making many trips up there in the coming weeks.

Hang in there, Fran.
