    For ALL ;) our porchers dat have or may encounter dat dreaded dashboard 'Check Engine' warning beacon, a lil' personal experience.

    After I gifted myself a Samsung smart phone (android G7) fer my Christmas/birthday, decided to track down my dashboard dire dilemma, da cursed CEwb.

    First ordered an OBDII and just plugged it in my under-dash port. Den downloaded da free version of Torque Lite to my G7; easy Bluetooth pairing. Thus far I've resolved two issues; replaced a gas cap (weak relief spring) and just today a coolant temperature sensor. Da latter was really kickin' my Tahoe's 'tailpipe, not countin' my fuel con$umption! and just plugged it in my under-dash port

    Fer 'bout $50 total (sans phone) and maybe 10 minutes, I'm now cruisin' beacon (note: not bacon) free! Besides, I've also set up my G7/TL to monitor what I consider my engine's critical computer computations. Can't imagine what a dealer$hip would charge... :shock:
    Makes me think of my Buick, which was much worse. Had darn near every light on. ABS light was on but it worked fine. Oil seeping into the coolant. Car ran fine and I didn't have to fix emissions because I kept it under 5k yrly. Looked great inside and out. Only finally died from rusted undercarriage. 02 Century, 100K. Consumer Reports Recommended :). Only 13 yrs from that'n. Had a 96 Windstar that I got 17 yrs from. Ran fine, tires and a/c tap-up was more than the vehicle's value.

    Dang, I had the same year model of the same vehicle. Shortly after my friend Joy and her girls moved in with me, I traded in my 1994 Pontiac Firebird for it <sniff>. The Windstar's check engine light never went out once it came on somewhere around 60K miles, and I needed a new catalytic converter at some point. Plus it was never the same after I killed a deer with it. It was light green.

    So, this is the new piece for the vape bench I made Sunday afternoon.

    It holds a partial roll of toilet paper just fine. Quite handy for cleaning up after re-wickking or re-filling our tanks. I hated wasting a whole tissue for a drop or two of juice, so we were cutting up paper towels into about 3 inch squares. Now we're fixed for cheap and easy clean-up.

    The vehicles that we took vacations in and multiple trips to the park, etc., with the kiddies, are the ones that are hardest to give up. Gave it one last long look as I traded it.

    @Kenna did you like the CB, some do some don't still one of my favorites, it was actually the first Baker Flavor I ever tried. Made a batch of Cocoa Bean this morning at 1.5% figured I could add more if need be. Now I need to make some Caramelized Milk, and Cheesecake. I talked to Michael in Germany and he said the address on the package had the state in the Barcode. He said next time he will handwrite it on. That's if there is a next time. I have quite a few now and seems to keep just great in the fridge. Some I have is over 3 years old and just the same.
    I like the Cream Charlotte. I took it to 2%. I made it first at 2.5% & it smelled really strong so I cut it in half. That had barely any flavor so I added more to it. Not crazy about the Cream Brulee.

    I need to make some more of that stuff from Spicy, dang I wish Gary was here so I could see if he tried any yet. I really miss the guy. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have gotten this great Lenova computer, the Duk Juice, Found out about Kodi from which I was skeptical about but he convinced me to try it on my computer and the rest was history. I hope it wasn't me that turned him away cause I really enjoy his posts.
    Lets pm him, Legs!

    I have a box for my juice bottles. The forward part is for filled toppers, the back part is for empty toppers. I keep a washcloth under the toppers. When I refill, I use one of the washcloths for wiping and my worksurface. I toss both in laundry, and replace.

    They are lowballing you so they can resell? People now have no clue what good furniture is. My bed was purchased by my grandparents when they married. Their first 2 children out of 6 were born in it & both grandparents passed in it. It will always stay in the family.

    Yesterday was beautiful, 92 and no humidity.....today I'm looking at the same temperature, but the humidity is climbing to 51% or more....:( Three days ago I still needed to wear sweats and now I'm going to need to turn on the AC and peel off my clothes...
    You tease you! ;):lol:

    From the CWX Laboratories -

    Running 316L Stainless inside of the KF5 and noticing some funny fluctuations still? Check the 510 pin on the KF5. Seems the 510 pin loosens up over time, was losing connection to my mod, causing my DNA chip to report the "Check Atomizer" warning.

    Guess it has come to this that 510 pin needs to be really tight not so much you break it but tight enough so it doesn't losen when you screw the atty on the mod.

    Tighten it real good. I've had the same thing happen.

    Try it at 2 or 2.5% that maybe more to your liking. 2.5 is as high as I've gone with it and was a little much for me. Like I say some like it others don't.

    I just remembered the name that Ford gave to the color: evergreen mist
