The only way my glassos would get retired is if I have another 3-4 kayfuns and I can't afford that. I like a lot of flavors, I don't stick with the same one all day, I use 3-4-5 different flavors a day and will even throw in a couple more if I get bored.:blush:

So I guess I should go with the 28 and the 32? That should have me covered? Or would 28 do for all?

Funny, while looking at the items listed under the kanthal search, there is organic cotton balls and ecowool. Obviously, they know WHY I'm looking at kanthal.:laugh: Must be a lot of people, enough to skew the results, using those items with kanthal.

I have 32-30-28-26 so yeah why not get a few different types 7-8 bucks a piece isn't a deal breaker and you get them all shipped together. It's fun to experiment. Good call

I'll check it out, but I agree with you, don't want slow shipping... is the fasttech stuff clearly marked as such?
Nope. That's one of the really frustrating things with Joe's site. See a good deal on an interesting thing, click the link and then sudden disappointment, it's from FastTech :(

Good idea on a 'test' bottle. Rarely do two vendors mix the like named recipes the same.

Yeah I thought that might be true... but if it's at least *similar* maybe I could mix it with the stuf I like so much -- just got a 30ml of it!!

VAPEMAIL!!!!

*happy dance*

Got my 30ml Virginia, got a 5ml of Geneva (cocoa) from ccvapes, and I got my 50ml glass tube and 6 30ml glass bottles w/droppers from Amazon! (after checking prices on the graduated cylinders and glass bottles at Amazon, I'll never buy those again from vape stores!)

I checked the mailbox as soon as I got back from the bank, cause I saw the mailtruck at the end of the street... was so bummed, it was empty!! AARRGHHH!! I was so freaked, but then I walked on up to the front door -- it was all on the porch! There was so much, it wouldn't fit, so he just left it on the rocking chair! YIPPEE!

And myfreedomsmokes said it will be a couple weeks on the Virginia, so I'm glad a) I've got the new 30ml, and b) I found this other that *might* substitute.. maybe. I went ahead and placed the order for 10ml of it, plus a new "smoke" T3S, and one extra coil, for *just in case*... don't want to get without this stuff that's keeping the cravings away!! :D

32 will work great for protank coils and you can build all the others with it as well if you are not going to try for really low Ohms. I would get some 32 for protanks and probably 30 for your others. This stuff will last a long time.

I have no plans for sub ohm'ing. As it stands, the 2.2ohm heads I have work great for me, so I'll start in that range.

I have 32-30-28-26 so yeah why not get a few different types 7-8 bucks a piece isn't a deal breaker and you get them all shipped together. It's fun to experiment. Good call

I think I'll start with 28 and 32 and see what happens.:) Still have to add $10 for free shipping.:( But probably cheaper than paying shipping on 2 quart bottles of PG and VG.

I've been watching the Classies, but will use your link if nothing shows up there and Thanks for the link! :toast:

.......

ProVari Variable Voltage Ecig: Best Variable Voltage E Cig Available!
I could not find anywhere else to buy... You could check the classified to see if anyone is selling their device.

I'm using 30 ga kanthal for PT's...Micro coils. A bit fiddlie, but great flavor, etc. I have 28, 30, 32, 34 and .4 x .1 kanthal flat wire. If one is only buying 1 roll I'd recommend 30 ga kanthal. YMMV

I'll be rebuilding the protank coils, Igo L and Kayfun lite. Will the 32 A1 be sufficient for all?

I already get my nic from Wizard Labs, love them!

I do like the show and share their values...God, Family and Country. It's real life comedy, I love to laugh...good for your health. I use Phil as my avi because he is just a couple years younger than me (I think), but Jason is my favorite, Si totally cracks me up.

Williegntx, I love your avatar.

the VCC was two weekends ago in Tamps FL. I got a telescoping Zmax and a hammer clone. :)
But you were there yourself. :D

Ken who did you purchase your hammer clone from? I'm trying to figure out if they might be at Vape Bash
I got it at the SmokersVapor booth. I just called them, and they had brought 50 and sold out of them by the end of the first day.
They guy on the phone does not know when/if he will be getting them in stock again though.
He could not remember what the names of the meets they will be going to, but said he knows he will be at:
Washington D.C.
Chicago
Colorado
Vegas
L.A.

This year

Here I go with the questions, just a warning!:laugh:

I have to get another $10+ to get free shipping with Amazon, so I'm looking at batteries. Here's the deal, I ordered a mech mod for my 'stash'. I may never use it, who knows? But I thought I might get the correct batteries while I'm ordering. Hell! I'm already $300 down today, what's another $10? I got a mech mod set with multiple tubes, can use 18650, 18500 or 18350. ( I think that's the sizes, without checking.)

The only batteries that Amazon has that isn't a 'fire' batt, is a few Sanyo's and Efest. Are these usable? Can someone tell me what to look for? Do I need protected? Flat or button top?

Any info you can throw my way would be appreciated.

Edit- that might be 14500 not 18500. ooops and I was wrong, amazon has panasonic, efest and sony.

you mean he has to sell some of the stuff he has in order to start buying again? :laugh:

Well, he does have quite a collection. Can't tell you how often some new device will come up and if I mention it he'll say, "nah, it's got this or that problem or yeah, I've been wanting one of those for awhile". If he does sell something I think he goes into the other room and does the happy dance and then comes back in to order whatever new thing he's been stewing on. He reminds me of an airplane when they ramp up the engines just before take off... Ahhh, it stretches out the fun.

Sorry NCPatches I only use AW IMR batteries. It's probably just in my head but I don't buy any other. I can't help on that one other then I know Amazon doesn't sell them.

Those are the ones I have already ordered for my Zmax. They work in mech's too? I thought you needed protected, but there is some controversy about that, whether to use protected or unprotected in a mech mod.

When I got wire I found an amazing selection and great prices here:
Resistance Wire

How is their shipping? Amazon charges more but may be about the same with the shipping costs.

Patches, if you haven't ordered your Mech MOD yet there is going to be a Co-op going live at 9PM EST tonight. It's a great price for the MOD and with a kick included.

As for batteries, check where you are getting the MOD from and they should tell which works for that MOD. I'm not the go to guy for Mech's, but having a kick with them just makes sense to me. I only have 1 mech now but have a Hammer (clone from FT) ordered (with kick...extra) and will be ordering from the Co-op tonight.

I'm using eFest and Panasonic bateries (18650's) Panasonic's are NCR18650PF 2900 mAh from a Co-op.

Ok, this might seem kinda silly, but...did any of you lose your appetite when you started vaping? I have to remind myself to eat! Not normally a problem :blush: Lost some pounds, which is ok, NOT complaining! Is this normal?

I think it depends on the person, some lose, some gain, as I hear it.

I seem to eat less vaping sweet, dessert type vapes. Maybe it is satisfying my sweet tooth.:)

Used to have monster cravings when i still smoked.. never felt saturated.. Apetite is down a bit yes.. And i have a theory on why:
[The following is just a brain fart from a dutch ex smoker now vaping and is not to be taken as medical truth]

Feeling hungry can mean two things: 1. Ur hungry 2. Ur thirsty.

Now lets consider vaping and what vaping does.. it dehydrates a bit.. we all know this and drink a lot more then we used too. Hence since we take in more water we get less hungry because our body doesnt fool us into going water thirsty.

Well thats what i can make out of it.
