Your post didn't turn me off of the ipv mini, I decided last night that I wanted to give the hopefully better built ones one more shot. My black one is still working fine, bought in Feb. from RMV.I have zero confidence that I'll get a decent replacement from 101. I really like the feel and ease of use of these iSticks.

I feel bad for your sister. Katie has mentioned several times she's heard on the news that they are just as bad as smoking. Honestly, she couldn't care less about the health pros and cons, all she cares about is that it isn't stinking up her house or leaving nic stained walls

Personally, I've never believed in the second hand smoke propaganda. That is, unless you are a rat locked in a box, having cigarette smoke pumped in by the ton, 24/7.

IDK, Bov. I believe that second hand smoke has an affect on people that are in close quarters with smokers. Just like the nic stained walls, there has to be toxins getting into their lungs.

My mom is heavy smoker and smokes inside her house. I saw how her dog would lick the nicotine from his coat and get sick from it. He also had a very hard time breathing in his later years. I know it was from the cigs. Hell, he had COPD and Emphysema from the cigs just as she does is my bet. There was no telling my mom that though.

My sister will continue to vape if she needs to. I think. It is just that she believes at least half of what her husband is telling her about them. He is a good guy but, he is one of those ex smokers ...............

Thanks a bunch ElDee! You know I hate math. I also keep forgetting that you need so little of those flavors in comparison to most others, so as I am coming up with those low numbers early this morning I kept saying" this cannot be right!!!" Lol
Alls well that ends well!

Glad you're getting your iStick 50 from RMV Bov! They rock!!!! Ordered ours last weekend and had them in hand Wednesday!!!!!

Good luck to your sister Salem! Get hold of her hubs and educate him! Tell him his nagging her will drive her backwards and that's way worse for both of them. If that doesn't work, take ElDees suggestion. Lol

Good night all! Friday is just around the corner!!!

Morning folks

Good May Morning

Haha, that an awesome May Pole, Moon!

I'm vaping on my very first 'wrapped it myself' coil...woohoo! Tested 1.19ohm on my ohm box, reading 1.2 on the Stick. So far beginners luck has me with good airflow and good wicking with the rayon. Up to this point I have been using the stock 1.2 occ heads in this KSM, therba with the pre wrapped coils from FT in the other. I've had no problems with the FT coils, but it was time for me to jump into the deep end

Afternoon,Bov and Moon

Congratulations on your coil success Bov. 1.9 ohms work great.

 

[Bovinia]

Thanks Wuzz...great to see you here

 

[908Tracy]

Woo hoo Bov!!! Nothing quite like that first successful cool build!!! congrats my friend!

 

[salemgold]

Congrats, Bov! My sweet spot is 2.0 ohm. lately I find myself using 1.2 to 1.5 which work as well.

FYI- I tried using the cable that came with my MVP on my i50W last night. Using same wall wart, the mod and the wart got fire freaking hot! Needless to say, I went back to my egrip cable and everything is cool now

Tracy, I may end up having to take LDs suggestion with BIL. Sheesh.

I was at my moms today and she told me that she pulled the tiny little paper out of her Njoy pack. She had to get a magnifying glass to read it and decided that ecigs are worse than cigs. As soon as I started telling her of the many ways that is not the case, she changed the subject. Yikes, she will come up with any little reason why she will not give up those nasty cigs.

Evening,folks

 

[FranC]

Congrats on your first coil,Bov

 

[908Tracy]

Hey everyone! Dog azz tired again but had to respond to Salem quickly.....I feel your pain on getting Moms to start Vaping and quit smoking. Try as I might (and do!) she just doesn't want to give them up!
Makes me sad, but I will keep on trying!

 

[FranC]

Evening,Tracy Get some sleep girl

 

[Bovinia]

Salem, your mom is surely related to Katie All kidding aside, I am growing more concerned about Katie. Her confusion is getting worse, and along with that, so are her temper tantrums. Trying to put myself in her head space, I can imagine how terrifying it must be for her to recognize this and continue to try and hide it. Today was a treasure hunt for her keys, wallet, and check book...and she was convinced (or trying to convince me) that someone had to have come in the house and stolen them. I found them all...for now.

I actually built this coil a week or 2 ago, but hadn't used it yet. The pre wrapped one I started with is still hanging in there with just rewicking and dry burning. I've been using the occ heads in my other tank, but since I'm down to my last couple, I decided to toss the rba in it with my coil. I have saved all the spent occ heads, just haven't rebuilt any of them yet.

 

[FranC]

I'm sorry to hear Katie's condition is getting worse,Bov

Those dang OCC coils are so pricy. I've been hoping they'll come down some.

 

[Bovinia]

Yes they are pricey! FT has some cheap knock offs, but they get sketchy reviews. I figure I'll rebuild a few and keep them for lazy, quick swaps. But with the pre wrapped coils, the rba is just as quick. Maybe I'll order some with longer legs for stabbing into the occ heads.

I want a 3rd KSM, but I'm a little hesitant to order one of the clones from FT.

Thanks about Katie...good days and bad. I'm worried about her driving, but she insists on going to Mass on Sunday mornings. At least at 7am on a Sunday there isn't any traffic LOL!
