Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

[Ken_A]

Thanks Ken...I'm leaning real hard toward this. Got plenty toppers for it, but gotta get a better Tip (curved) and the 'kick' is extra, too, I guess.

Don't look like Sniffle's Co-Op is going to make it, so may as well get a couple 'kicks' from FT when I order...today.

Careful. It looks like the FT KICKS do not have the protective shielding around them, so could short out a battery.

 

[AndriaD]

Andria, I think you'll like the new tank, even if the color changes how it tastes

I decided that red&silver would look just great on the silver iTaste. And it couldn't possibly make it taste worse than the iClear16...

Conversation with the wife:

Her: "did you sweep the floor like I asked you"
Me: "yes'm" (vape)
Her: "with what?"
Me: "a broom" (vape)
Her: "da__ it why did you use a broom?"
Me: "cause it works better than my foot" (vape) (vape), (google: funny farms, local)
Her: "thats why we got that swiffer thing"
Me: "yes'm" (vape) (vape)
Her: "so why didn't you use it"
Me: "I like my broom" (vape) (vape) (vape)
Her: "but the swiffer thing is easier"
Me: "yes'm" (vape) (vape) (vape)
And on and on and on

Myrany - you did not go overboard! We appreciate all of your help and advice, the more the better!
Everyone's advice, for that matter. Mike - I covet your stash, too! Yes, I know it's different from
Myrany's, but we are all different with different tastes & wants. Thanks for posting it.

 

[Myrany]

Myrany or anyone else... could you suggest the most helpful youtube video to rebuild the protank/evod heads? I usually search out PBusardo...but if there is anything else that's more informative please let me know. I really need to set aside an afternoon to try and rebuild my ceramic cups and evod heads.

this is how I do the protank

Myrany- any advise on building my first coil on my RM2 ? It came shortly before I left on vacation so I didn't bother to play with it, but now I'm hoping to find time this weekend to do my first build on it.

How I do a RM 2
How To Make A Perfect Micro Coil With The Darkzero Coil Jig - YouTube

couple alterations I make
I use 30 gauge and 9 wraps which puts me comfortably 1.2 ohms +
I do not have the coil jig I just wrap around a 16 gauge syringe needle

I covet all y'all's stuff! If I had even half of what you guys have, I'd think I was rich! But I'm sure I'll get there, considering how I'm going already... eRoll... 3 wks later, iTaste vv3... lots of juices, most of which I either don't think I like, or they just need to sit in the dark for awhile... and today I have GOT to get some more needle tips, it's the only possible way to fill these eRoll tanks, and seems the most sensible way to fill anything else, too. *sigh*

Oh my ARO has shipped... YAY!!! NC isn't that far away, so I should have it early next week, god willin and no more snowpocalypse...

[Myrany]

Andria you will get there. I have had a year to build my stash and with 3 exceptions have kept strictly to my $100 a month budget. Those 3 exceptions were gifts from the hubby for Birthday, Christmas and now my Vepaversary (in 2 weeks).

What I did NOT list is my tacklebox worth of stuff I have but were false starts that I do not use anymore and stuff that I really do not expect to last very long in a vapecoaplypse like the 3 vivi novas and 12 evods

The best advice I can give anyone vapocalypse prepping now is make a plan and shop for deals. Get as much as you can for your dollar and focus on stuff that will last.

Learn the skills that will make you self sufficient while we have the resources in the fine teachers here and on youtube.

What exactly did happen in the EU? I've tried looking here and just Google-ing (is that a word yet?) but couldn't find fit for non European info on exactly what was passed and exactly how it effects actual law. Any have a good pointer to useful info?

Kind of bizarre mis-information there. On the other hand... they have to put some sort of restrictions on it in order to be able to TAX it, methinks!

 

[Doughboy67]

SOrry guys I guess I went overboard trying to help folks yesterday. I promise to be quieter today.

In other news I got the "Your Provari has shipped" Email. SO that is one more reliable device for the vapocalypse arsenal.

I thought helping each other out is what we do. What are you apologizing for? I for one have truly appreciated your advice and the others here who gave me advice to my questions. I placed a lot of orders today based on the feedback I have recieved. Thanks all for helping me make informed decisions about my purchases!!! I'll fill u all in on what I bought after I read all the posts.

 

[Doughboy67]

Well... since I successfully resisted smoking when I first got up, I'm now at the 24 hr mark exactly, since my last smoke. WOOHOO! I can't believe it, me, a NON-SMOKER!!! That's a freaking MIRACLE!!! They don't need to ban this stuff, they need to elevate it to sainthood!!!


Andria

Way to go AndriaD!!! That's awesome. I tried it all b4!! Gum, Patches, Welbutrin, Lozenges, Chantix. Nothing worked like an ecig!!! Better still, with the ecig it was the only time I felt I wasn't missing out on the thing I loved!! Keep it up!!!

HEY,!!
I just remembered a wish list item. My notes say I can get two of them this month and stay in budget, so I'm getting a blue one and a silver one

The Silencer

They are in stock, and you don't have to worry about the FT knock-offs without the safety wrap!

They are vv not vw, but still... They should look snazzy attached to the Hammer!

Thank You.... I watched both videos Ken suggested and this one. This was the first Rip Tripper video I'd seen, he does a nice job. I have all the supplies needed so just need to set aside some time to get er done I really need to get my gear organized, sounds like a good weekend project since it's so darn cold and suppose to snow every day...yippee

I have lots of different clearos etc so I have a number of different types of heads to recoil. What I did to get organized was get one of those cheap plastic boxes with the tiny compartments that walmart sells in the embroidery/beading area. I set up each head type in adjoining pairs of compartments. Left is the needs recoiled for that typer and right is the good to use section. I just labeled them with painters tape since some of my heads look the same but are not interchangeable in the devices.

I think it was like $3 for the box.

hehehehe I saved time by so far only using the devices that take the Kanger coils. Then I don't have to remember which goes with what.

I intend to do that very thing, once I get actually "settled in" with this... lord knows, I'll now have $176/mo that I WAS spending on cigarettes... surely the ol man won't object to me spending half that much on vape stuff... Especially if I let him spend the other half... heh

Fortunately I haven't [yet] seen any kind of legis-crap here in GA; who knows, maybe they'll be enlightened about it; they keep bragging on TV about how GA is "friendly to business" with tax breaks and so on... and because of Atlanta, there's somewhat more of an enlightened attitude about many things -- they're even considering the medical herbs... Just don't mention same-sex marriage round here, the southern baptists will have a hissy fit. But I don't believe there is any tobacco grown in this state, too hot I reckon, so it might just fly, down here, without interference from BT.

Ooooh ooooh ooooh I got a bottom-coil clearomizer just now at the local B&M when I stopped in for needle tips... and this thing rocks!!! The Virginia tastes just fine in it, so the problem was the iClear after all! And now I don't have to refill every 5 minutes... It's a kanger T3S, cost 9.99, but worth it not having to wait for vapemail... I've lovin it... no it's not McDs, it's vaping!!!!

I'm sitting here enjoying something I haven't in many years... a cup of [decaf] coffee and a "smoke" -- ok I know it's not smoke, don't anybody freak out. But after 16 yrs of having to go outside, and for the last 10 or so not even being able to smoke in restaurants, this really *is* a novel experience! But I think I have to give the tea a rest a for awhile; after just 32 hrs without a smoke, my tastebuds apparently believe gotterdammerung has arrived. EVERYTHING tastes weird -- how long does it take for that to go away?

[DavidOck]

Good choice on the T3S, Andria. Although it isn't glass, they do produce a nice vape. And that price isn't too far out of line for a B&M.

From my experience, the T3S heads will work in most of the bottom coil units, the ProTank line, Evods, Davides and so on. Er, the single coil models, some of the newer Davides have gone to dual coil, and that's a different animal - but easy to convert back to single coil.

And now you may also have one answer - you prefer the bottom coils
