Speaking of c cells, I need to order some and 101 was all out.

Oops, sorry about that Tracy. PM me and tell me how many you want. lol

Fran, if Wharf doesn't have the .9 ohm Kanthal, let me know. Although I am hearing that the newer SS are even a bit better. Now that I bought all of 101s stock of Kanthal lol

Do be sure that you prime and break them in right. makes all of the difference in the world.

Yes John, or a setting in your control panel. Try looking around in device Manager Settings, or download some freeware program that will let you adjust the speed of your fans.

Bo I even tried that. Tried setting it in the bios too. It's the weirdest thing I ever had happen. The only thing that I haven't changed is the program.

JFive here are a couple of mounts. I'm using the one in the center, it holds the onboard buttons and has more surface to epoxy in place.
On the left is just like above but is attached with screws the face or through the back with wood.
On the right just holds the screen and PCB, using remote buttons.

Fat Daddy Vapor (on Mamu's list) has 510's with longer threads just for wood. You can hit him up on FB too.



Thanks Wharf.

Salem, Good seeing you.

Morning folks :)

Busy day ahead shuttling Mr. Fur Baby back and forth to the groomer :D

J5, I should have known you checked every setting, including the bios...which I forgot about!! Hope you figure it out.

Hugs, Salem!! Been thinking about you!
No I appreciate the ides. I don't always think of all of them.

As of right now, Aug 8th is the last day you can introduce your product to the market... The FDA will not accept ANY product that comes out Aug 9th 2016 or later.
So from what Wharf said did they move the grandfather date to Aug. 9th or am I reading that wrong?

I believe what Wharf said is they are trying to get the date moved to August 9th...The way things stand now nothing but those sheety little things big tobacco sells will be approved.....

Nice looking box mod....The D2 vs the D3....D3 has a much smaller battery door....Not sure about the chip as I'm only in the low 30s on all my mods....I've had several mods lately with some grippy stuff that did not wear well...The D2 and D3 do wear well...The hard edges appear shiny but no peeling...Overall I give the D3 two thumbs up and I'm gonna slide a couple into the drawer pre the 8th....Probably on the 7th!!!

There has been a whirlwind of activity on my plate since selling the samurais and 500 miles of hauling them was added to my list...All the while the beach grass grows and the limb trimming neighbor has been calling the town about it....She broke the law and is now looking at any avenue to seek revenge...I take great pride in the appearance of my lawn and if those bass turds keep it up....WELL.......I'll be off here in a minute or three for a drive by and will get my grass up to spec....The cat sending those we'll cut your grass and bill you is getting ready to get a visit from "The Evel One"...Had to stop working on the Ranger but it will be on top again when I get the grass finished...hell I rode the mower all afternoon yesterday....

Off to watch Grim's Crown II review....saw 1/2 last night when a thunder storm claimed the internet as it's own.....

Let me try again ~

  • 2-15-2007 ~ Any product (juice, mods, attys, wire, batteries...) that was on the market before this date can apply for substantially equivalent, meaning my product is just like that product that was out before 2-15-07. FDA found one or two products before that date and there is no other product on the market now like it.... So no one can claim this.... If there was, it would cost 30-40K for each product to get approved.
  • Any product out between 2-15-07 and 8-8-16 can apply for approval. It is reported to take thousands of hours, tests, reports... yada yada to get your product approved. It is also reported that it would take 300K to well over a million to get a product approved.... If you make 3 flavors of juice and carry it in 3mg, 6mg and 12 mg, you will have to get approval on 9 different products... and cost MILLIONS ~
  • ... And the kicker.... the FDA can deny your appovals and THEY keep ALL the loot.... AzzHats !!!
  • Aug 8 2016... Oh Aug 8th
  • August 8th is the last day that you can show that you have a product on the maket. THAT would allow you to apply for Bullet point 2, above.
  • Aug 9th... On Aug 9th you may NO longer apply to get your product on the market. If you apply to the FDA, they will reject it.
So at that point there won't be any NEW mods, juice, attys.... EVER !!!! nothin'... nada... nichts... nunca... !!!

Hopefully this makes more sense. At this point the most important thing is the Cole - Bishop amendment. It would change the equivalency date to this year, May 5th or Aug 8th or... not sure but I think on of those dates.

If not, we will have the choice of Mark10, Vuse or Blu :eek:

Hopefully everyone picks up their phone a strongly urges your federal congressman to back the Cole Bishop amendment.

Wharf that is a very nice looking box mod!!! :)

Salem, so sweet of you to offer....and gave me a chuckle that you bought them all!! I was hoping for a link to another place; not your stock. ;)

Workday awaits...gotta get moving! Back later.

Tracy, do you use the NI200 at all? I know another person that uses them in non TC mode and likes them. He says they do not work in TC mode but are fine in watts mode. You can get those at VB for about $8 a pack. maybe even less if you have not yet used that code.

I may be getting ready to kick myself for buying so many cCells. JT is getting ready to release the Ultimo. It looks like a wicked good tank. They offer ceramic, clapton, and notch coils that you cn actually change the cotton in. So far the reviews are outstanding and they are priced very well. Can't wait to try them :D

It was not just me that wiped 101 out. There were a few of us lol Seriously though, I don't mind parting with a few packs to get you by until you can find more at a decent price if you need some kanthal.

Good to see you too, 5C.

Bov, my grandson was here for two weeks! :banana: We went to pools and water parks every single day that he was here. had a blast but, I am worn out! I hated taking him back to his dad on Monday. Missed him terribly by Tuesday.

He is supposed to be coming back for 1 week before school starts but, I think that his dad missed him so much that he may change his mind :( I hope not because we have big plans. The child is mature well beyond his seven years and is great company. I told him that I was not sure his dad was going to let him come back in August and he said, well, you're his mom. Just make him do it. HA!

I have another question that just might keep me from turning to cigars. (I might invest in cigar stocks though like the FDA).
Isn't it better to buy 100% pure nicotine and dilute it?

Next thing you know the FDA will be outlawing my jerky.
We need to get democraps out of the FDA and out of government.
Then they won't keep putting these bleeding heart laws and policy out.

Hey!! THIS is the famous "refugee thread" I heard about when we were talking about Ikenvape's forum going bye-bye. I see a LOT of old friends and friendly faces in here!! Good to see you all!! I think I'm going to have to pop in here every now and then. It looks like a LOT of great info too!!

Yeah... I don't think you can buy, or would want to buy, 100% nic 5C.

WHARF!! Just from the last few pages that I've read here you seem to be a trusted voice of all this FDA crap that is happening. I have one question that I haven't seen posted or answered exactly the way I want and wonder if you or anybody here knows the answer. I understand with juice... every vendor/manufacturer of it needs approval, yada yada....

But, with hardware only.... Say a specific piece, Eleaf iStick 50W gets "approved" ... can any vendor sell it? Each vendor does not need to get approval for the same hardware do they? That wouldn't make sense at all... but of course, none of this does.

I HOPE TO SEE THE REST OF YOU MORE AS I'LL TRY AND POP IN NOW AND THEN. EVERYBODY STAY WELL!! AND GREAT TO SEE SOME OLD (in a young kind of way) FACES!!! :)
