I like ya ping you just got to relax and step down of your soap box once in a while.

I don't own a soap box. Maybe if I save of enough pennies I'll be able to buy one. Sorry but I don't buy into the usmc sob story. I lived the last 47 years in heel and I'm not owed a nickle.

All I can say is, I love my P3, and can't wait till I can afford to get Radius! :thumbs!

Someone who deserves a radius.

I tried to find the Plasma tank on the Boulder Vapor House website but couldn't find them in the rebuildables section. :(

I did find this tank and am considering ordering it. I like the idea of a bit more airflow. The site only showed the 5ml in stock, though. The others indicate preorder.

Thanks RB, but when I click on the Plasma Tank or Plasma Tank Fumed Gas Special Edition, and attempt to buy, I get an error 404 - the requested page does not exist?

Good morning! When I ordered my PlasmAir, I spoke to one of the owners. She said that Bert is making the two smaller sizes, now. She expects the mid-sized tank to be available within the next two weeks. Sounds as though he's pretty busy!

Morning All! I got a PM from HBManOfTheCorseDude. Here is what he had to say about his dad:

Dad is going better since I got here, then little brother got here, then Dad's best friend of 50+ years got here, then tonight his cousin.
Seems like each visitor brings more good vibes.
As far as I'm concerned, we are still on a razor's edge, but:
1. His white blood cell count has come back all the way down to a "normal" & "healthy" range of 10-12. No longer in the 160,000 range it was four days ago, or the 50,000 range of two days ago.

2. His body temp has stabilized for just over 24hrs, under 100*F. It's been an average of 105 since he went in. The doctors and nurses say this means the septic shock/sepsis is losing its grip.

3. They believe he has an MSSA type staph infection, and they think they've found the point of entry. An unassuming ..... on his finger from a splinter he got a day or two before he collapsed and was taken to the hospital. Treatment for this is responding normally. It's just hard considering everything else.

4. As of now, the diagnosis contains permanent kidney damage, which means dialysis multiple times per week, for life. This remains to be finalized.

He also said he's been lurking but his ability to post from the hospital is very limited. One thing he wanted everyone to know was how PROUD he is of the Provarinati for banding together to get USMC a Radius. I join him in his pride, even if some may question whether he was deserving of this or not.

Now my update on my brother:

My Sister in Law is from Brazil and her English is not the easiest to get. But she called this morning and said they were transferring my brother to another area of the hospital. Turns out the bad bacteria he got in his blood is E-Coli. And it became so virulent, it shut down his kidneys, so he may have kidney issues for the rest of his life, like HB's dad. The E-Coli likely got in his blood after a routine urological procedure he had, which involved inserting a catheter. I've done some research this morning and was surprised to learn we all have E-Coli bacteria in our intestines. Typically, it's not harmful to us in any way. But if we have a compromised immune system and it gets in our blood, often via urinary entry, it can be fatal. My brother does have a compromised immune system after having Leukemia (even though it is in remission).

The prognosis for my brother is still good, but they will be putting the medicine directly into his heart for the next 10 days. I won't breath a sigh of relief until that course of treatment is finished.

I hope everyone has a good Sunday

Ps: Cable, Telephone and Internet is all up and running smoothly this morning. Maybe, just maybe this Fios stuff is going to work OK!

Jeez, Rod - that's potentially a very serious issue. I'm glad it's not for him, but yes, it emanates from our insides. It's often contracted by eating food that's been touched by someone with, let's just say, less than sanitary bathroom practices.

I can't even imagine...

Here's to your brother, and to HB's dad, and their hopefully improving health. :toast:

After many hours of banging my head against the wall (Concrete) I have now got a hole in the wall and a decision. On the Radius Or another P3.

1. I never use over 15 Watts
2. Box mods feel too much like a pack of cigs in my hand.

So it’s going to be a P3.

Back to the wall to decide if it will be:
  1. Ice finish
  2. TI
HELP I’m getting a headache and another hole in the wall.

Once you go Ti, you'll surely say, "Oh MY!"

Ti all the way. While I don't have the Ice Finish, which is very nice looking, I do have several stainless models, and the Ti beats them by a mile. You won't believe how light it is. It only works out to be about 1.5 ounces less by my measurement than the stainless models, but it makes a 1.5 pound difference in your pocket!

VERY well described, JUMA. And 100% true. It's freaky.

I am confused. We all know that this is not a new thing, but still ... What is the relationship between ohms and watts? Here's what I'm trying to understand, because that may have been the wrong question. Kangar recommends somewhere around 20-30 watts for their .5 ohm coil. I'm vaping a .5 coil (which my P3 says is really .58) at 14.8 watts (2.9 v) and it produces a lovely vape. I read that the Nauti 1.6 coil should be vaped at about 8-10 watts. Why? What's the relationship, and why those parameters?

I'm counting on all y'all who promised that a) there are no stupid questions, and b) you will answer stupid questions a though they aren't :)

Hey, Birdie. Not a stupid question.
Short version - the Nautilus coil can't bring the juice to the coil needed for high (-er) wattages. When I used Nautilus, max I went was 14W.
Edit1: It's a small spaced coil, thin wire, heats up fast, but the material around it must be really saturated and the juice needs to keep coming.
The Subtank coils are cotton and it's not so dense in there, so that thicker juice can flow quicker through it too.
Edit2: I used 50/50 and thicker juices. Maybe you use thinner juices. The coils I had were with the small juice holes. Now they have bigger. I point my new followers to the Nautilus, but I always say keep the wattage down.
