Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch-Part Six

[Kaezziel]

Yup, but they will be amped up another two notches in two weeks. Once I get my telephone problems taken care of, I will be on easy street.

The ladies at quilting group yesterday were very helpful in getting me involved in the conversation.

So ya get two weeks of normal, then a couple more days of adjustment? That's no fun... I'm sorry, Hun. Hopefully the telephone problems we be sorted soon, too. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

That sounds nice! Oddly enough, I'm one of those weird guys that likes to sew. I've never used a machine, though... always done by hand, and mostly self taught. I actually got pretty good at doing blind stitches because I was making small stuffed toys for my nieces and nephews. I haven't tried quilting yet, though... I should probably take some time and go stay with my MawMaw (grandmother) for a week or two. She quilts a LOT, and I'm sure that I could learn more than a few things from her. It's very cool that the ladies were so helpful, too! Sounds like a wonderful group.

Let me know what you come up with on telephones? I've had three from Clarity, and while they aren't bad when new, they just don't seem to last.

How'd it turn out? I always thought about making one out of various boxes and whatnot, but just stuck with the 4-bay AA battery pack from Radio Shak. It already had a built in on/off switch. All I had to do was drill a hole for the 510 connection and epoxy it in, and solder in some higher quality wire. What can I say... it worked, and I'm lazy.

Same - a visit to Radio Shack... I got tired of the bulkiness, but when I had a cemented desk job - it worked just fine. If my stash of mods ever dies - I guess it could be one of my backups. I also made a few wooden box mods back in the day - could always do either again...

Yep, that's the beauty of mech mods... gimme a drill press and some spare parts, and I can make a functional mod. Might not be pretty, but it'll definitely get the job done!

Terrific milestone! Your post gave me a huge smile...

Ah yes, da SSS method...





Ah yes, syringe tanks. I do remember we were scrambling to find the proper size/compound rubber grommets that didn't deteriorate in short order. Then Delrin to the rescue...

Yep me and Jewels spent a lot of time PMing trying to figure out how to cut pyrex tubes, what was the best size, etc...

Are you looking for a telephone system - if you have internet - you should take a look at the Magic jack system... Been using it for years.

Wisconsin has free phones for HoH, deaf, and deaf/blind. I think this ClearSounds A300 is the one I will be getting. My cable/internet company has phone service for $5 a month more. Then, I will be getting a safelink to use for text only.

I talked to my sister without my "headband" the other day, and still missed some stuff. Cellphone only just won't work for me any more.

Many of them have age-related hearing loss, so they understand. And they knew that I was missing out on most of the chit-chat.

I love the Boston Public Library. I could just wander around it all day. Maybe we could meet up there and have a vape-in.

Nice!

I can sign into My.USPS but it's not looking good

Did you get it all sorted out yet? Do you need more help? The one that ends in 212 is out for delivery. And the one ending in 710 has departed the Denver USPS facility. Should I check the others too?

You're talking about a "Puck Mod". I didn't find out about those until at least two years after I made mine... LOL. His were a little different, though. And he actually put out a tutorial on how to build them. Smart guy, he shall forever be remembered in the Annals of Vaping History.

Maybe the Nico Stick?

Just a quick pop in! I know, I know, just show up any time you please! I'm fired!

Well, hunting and fishing and nature, OH MY!!! No animules but a good time was had by all. It's still too warm for hunting. The animals are still in the high country and it's too warm to hang the meat anyway. Too rainy for fishing so they are safe for now.

The Battlebots finally was GREAT! (Sorry my Yeti kicked your toaster's ...., Semi I knew he (Yeti) didn't stand a chance in the next round though Maybe next year )

So far, I think America has gotten the voting through of contestants right on AGT.

And I hope ALL Ya'ALL are doing just peachy!!! Sure have missed all mah peeps!!!

Vape On!!!

Hi and welcome to the porch. My 1st tank was a DIY, some poly tubing and rubber grommets. Was even state of the art w/ a fill screw. I think tanks like this were selling for round $30 at the time. Mine cost about $1.50

Thanks for the offer ... but the USPS site is behaving itself again. Actually got 2 packages today, 2x Tobeco KFV5s and 6x packs of Nauty coils.

Yep, and the one night I was ready with my spoiler payback - you weren't on the forum. Bet remember it is still coming - another opportunity will arise...

They still sell carto-tanks that look just like that (side fill-screw) at Mom and Pop Vapor Shop for $9.99.

Wow Mike nice work. I got 2 packages but ecig.com failed to send me the batteries I ordered. They said it will come in a second package. I wonder when? Got my Triade already got my profiles in it and changed my error flashes and how long the screen stays on. I love it. For some reason doesn't seem as heavy or bulky as the Reauleax RX200. It works great. I really only have 3 profiles I use Power, SS316L, and Ti. I'm using the .csv files from Steam Engine. I like them better then Evolves or Lost Vapes.
