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.
It's probably about 2% since I added more to the 1.5%. Good, but I'm going to add a bit more.

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.

Looks great Diver! That stem is not as easy to turn as it looks. Beads and ball turnings are my nemesis. Even after turning hundreds of them I still snag a chisel once in a while and have to scrap the whole thing. It's not fun to pitch a 40" long 4-poster bed post section onto the scrap pile.:facepalm:

That's it? Just buy this and download a free app? Thank you!

Yepper! Da OBDII device and app will give ya da engine error code(s) (wid da capability to reset 'em) and guide ya to on-line diagnosis/explanations/solutions.

BTW, think da OBDII format started 'round 1996...

KIM, ya may get multiple possible solutions. But most errors are quite specific as to da guilty/faulty automotive component.

My first aggravatin' code had several 'solutions'. But da most common remedy was da cheape$t and worked, gas cap: victory (tired ol' pressure relief spring). My latest code indicated a faulty Coolant Temperature Sensor. Dat was a 'no brainer' in dat da app indicated a -40° F coolant temp to da 'puter (no way 'round here!). Note, fer my vehicle, da CTS goes to da 'puter and dere's a diff sensor fer da dashboard temp gauge.

Bottom line, fer <$11, a free app and on-line sources, if ya got an annoying beacon, go fer it! I'll entertain any questions within my limited knowledge.

Honestly, I don't know how much dis lil' <$11 device $aved me by avoidin' dealerships. But I know it ha$!

KIM, although I've paid my dues as a shade tree auto enthusiast waaay back when, I no longer can afford today's specialty diagnostic equipment.

OBTW, d/l da app and just do a lil' crusin' to check out da possibilities...

Day-um, sorry fer da extended post!

Agreed, Monday morning I drove 60 miles to pick up some deck stain to complete a job I needed to get done before the rain came in on Tuesday, only to discover I had forgotten my wallet. 180 miles later I got started staining, for about an hour, then the rain that wasn't supposed to come until Tuesday morning came early. Pfffft.

You give me way to much credit. The ball on the top of the stem is one of these connected with a short dowel into a hole I drilled in the stem. Now the tedious part was finding the center of the stem to drill the whole 'on center'.

The annoying part of the project is the 1 inch dowel I bought for the stem is a metric 1 inch not a true 1 inch (slightly smaller than 1 inch). My forester bit drills an accurate 1 inch hole and that 1" inch dowel had quite a bit of wiggle room in the whole. So much that I had to put a screw in from the bottom of the base to hold it tight. :-x

Actually Janet has a full size one for paper towels that my Dad made. It was the inspiration for my mini version.

    Besides the good advice from Iffy, you can also have the codes read by places like Auto Zone. I've done it and wrote their codes down, got their prices for parts but went home to research on Giggle. Narrowed things down, talked to my mechanic and saved money on the troubleshooting he would have had to do. The codes aren't very straightforward about the problems, unless it's like a gas cap thing.
