Happy Birthday,Wharf
Happy Birthday Wharf!!!
Thank you ALL !!!!
I was pampered all day by Mrs Wharf and daughter. Along with the Dead show... it was an awesome weekend.
A simple coil winding mandrel took care of wrapping coils for me, but the magic was switching to cellucotton rayon. I'd always been packing cotton a little too tight, tended to get the infamous dry hits, and just had a bear of a time with the legs. Rayon wants to be tight packed, and it doesn't expand when wet -- you can pack the eliquid holes/channels moderately tight with no problem, still wicks fine.
Ordered Cotton Bacon V2 with my wire and when I ordered my KF5 so I got 2 packs....Really liking the V2 CB....They say no break in and while I don't get that KJD taste it still improves the second day....KF5 is easier to coil and wick verses the KFL....Little cutouts on either side of the screws help retain the wire when wrapped around the screws....Wick just needs to be in full contact with the juice well floor and covering the four feed holes...Pretty forgiving on wick length but I like mine with a straight shot to the coil....I saw a reviewer cut his way longer than mine and they curved up on the way to the juice well....I wick mine like Grimm does....2.5 mm coil....The Clapton wire pops and cracks the whole time the button is down....A whole 15.5 watts!!! Clouds and flavor for days....Should Orgin have stock another KF5 is heading this way here in a few.....
Happy belated Birthday WR !!!

OK.... I have been Beta testing the Kennedy 24 Plasma Tank. This combines the Kennedy 24 RDA with the Trippy Tips Plasma Tank. Created and made by Bert Langan from Trippy Tips. This is not RDA cap but a Kayfun style tank... This is like the KF Plasma Tank or the Plasmair.
It gives me the Vape of a great Dripper with a 4ml? tank.

Morning folks
That looks great, Wharf. The Kennedy 24 is a dripper that many at the vape shop can't live without.

Pretty sweet looking set up you got there Wharf !!
Ya'll seen the battery powered coil winders???? One is called the Coil Magician....powered by it's own battery...There's another the name of I'm not sure and it has a 510 connection...There was a little bit of a learning curve coiling Clapton on the Coil Master but I managed....Turned out a great looking full contact Clapton....The Coil Magician should make it easy to coil a spaced coil under tension...Should.....
You know what boils my grits ????????? I get my brake parts for the Ranger and right there on my new brake drums it proudly states "Made in China"........These things are balanced and the ones Ford made have small weights welded on for balance.....The Chinese version has X5 the weight welded on.....They're painted and ready so I guess I'll be running them....Not one bit happy about that though....Pretty sure I'll be updating my 79 Bronco through the winter and bet this.....I'll damn sure investigate a source for good old Merican brake parts...
6 days until D-Day.....I ain't groovin' on that sheet either....I got nic out the ying yang....I got coils and I got supplies.....I got another KF5 coming....Looking at adding another couple of mods just in case they become unavailable....Not really sure where all this will end up but I've no confidence any of it will benefit a vaper....Guess at the end of the day we should be grateful we came into vaping when we did....I know a lot of vapers who are still dependent on local juice suppliers and such....Pretty sure they will revert back too cigarettes and also damn sure that is the sole intent of the FDA's regulations....Fact is there are a lot of things going on in this country that just pizz me off....I've never followed any rules but those I lay down.....Guessing I'll remain in the shadows and hoard vaping products.....That Land of the Free is BULLSHEET!!!!!!!!!!!

LD they should still be Ford parts. Our government has taxed them right out of the country but they are probably still made in a Ford factory. We used to get a lot of body tin or parts made in Mexico when I was in the body shop business. it's hard to get parts made in the US thanks to our wonderful government.
The taxes are the least reason a "for profit" company moves. Mainly its to exploit cheaper and to pollute nature w/o the environmental care an enlightened society demands.
Since I picked up a liter of 100 mg, along with the couple of bottles of 60 in the freezer I have somewhere around an 8 - 9 year supply. Realistically I've gone 0 nic before and it hasn't bothered me -- it's been long enough that I truly just trade vaping nicotine against coffee consumption.
I use natures flavors, so that doesn't hurt my head. The only non-NF I like is some tobacco blend for my vanilla tobacco. OTOH it wouldn't hurt my head to go to straight vanilla for my ADV, or substitute a pinch of caramel perhaps.
Mods, I expect my 3 Buzz Pros will last until the heat death of the universe I've also got 4 mechs from the last handful of months -- very solid devices, few parts to go bad. Then I have some cats and dogs modern VW/TC -- happy with what I have, and similar to flavors it wouldn't hurt my head to drop back to the mechs.
Tanks,I have doubles of the aromamizer, tfv4 mini, avocado 24, plus a few singles. I roll my own coils, have a good stock of what I use and am confident that basic kanthal won't disappear (non vaping uses).
Net, for me personally deeming doesn't hurt, but I really hope that the grandfather date gets rolled forward (Cole-Bishop) so others don't get shafted.

Well that too but the government has just made it to costly for companies to remain here and make any profit and still sell their goods. If it were just to exploit cheaper labor only they would of done it decades ago.
I am with you on everything. I just got my bottles to freeze my nic and would like to get one more liter of nic for those I take care of.Since I picked up a liter of 100 mg, along with the couple of bottles of 60 in the freezer I have somewhere around an 8 - 9 year supply.

I don't want to belabor the point on a social thread but the tax for corporations provide for a host of deductions. Remember the stories of GE paying zero in taxes some years.
GAO: U.S. corporations pay average effective tax rate of 12.6%
These deductions are supposedly to promote socially advantageous behavior. Such as if you install energy saving devices we'll give you all a tax credit or if you hire this unemployed person here's some help with your tax bill to offset training.
