Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

[Myrany]

Hi all!

Does anyone have a Lava Tube type device? Or a link to the operations of such a device? I'd kinda like to know how to use my backup.

Deb-NCPatches

it is nearly identical to the vamo so hunt up a video on the vamo I know Grimm green did one.

or this is the video from the actual Lavatube

Hi My! How is the provari doing for you?

 

[deborahbeaman]

Who got up this morning and re-built coils for Protank Mini/Evod? This girl!! I know there's a couple girls here who are wanting to learn. Below is a link to the method I used. I wrote the steps down in my notebook for reference as I watched the video. As a note, I didn't have 3mm silica, just 2mm, but that works fine. I used the 32 guage wire and on the two coils I made I got 1.5 ohms and 1.6 on the other, using 4 wraps on top. I did not put in a flavor wick, and so far no problems at all I think that using the long straight pin is brilliant. Really cuts down on the fumbling.

Hope this helps!

I am loving it

THough I still use the REOs more. It is a rock solid device and you really can tell the difference in the vape between the vamo and it.

Congrats on the rebuilding Thanks for posting that video, next time I rebuild my PTcoils I'm gonna try that method.

oh - I know what you mean. Our local B&M opened a larger 2nd store. The opening was Saturday and he had some nice new PV's that were tempting. Got out w/ just a couple new drip tips.

Glad to know I'm not the only one that's been vaping for a while but still has a hard time resisting new PV's even though I REALLY don't need any I don't have too much trouble resisting ordering on line anymore but it's still REALLY hard to resist when those PV's are right there where I can see them in person, hold them, and give them a test drive. Besides having a great local vape shop with all the China made mods I also live nearby and am friends with one of the well known mod makers so it takes a LOT of will power to resist buying new PV's often.

Since I've been following and paying attention to everything said here about vapocalypse and mech mods, I've started looking around at them, prices and such. They're usually kinda pricey, but I found one today that's actually quite inexpensive, the Kamry K100 R-Scope -- dos anyone have any experience with it? I'm nowhere near buying anything like that, just trying to expand my knowledge, for the future. Yes, I realize there probably are *better* ones, but I haven't won the lottery, and $200-$250 for any kind of PV is probably about 2 yrs worth of squirreling away $5 here and $10 there.

So, anyone know anything bout the Kamry K100 R-Scope?

Thx!!
Andria

I don't own a K100 but several of my friends do and I've tried it out. My friends own several different mechanicals and they are very happy with their telescoping K100's. The bottom switch was a bit harder to push then my hands prefer, but it wasn't bad. I'm used to a very smooth bottom switch on my Super T mechanicals so I realize I can be a bit picky when it comes to bottom switches. Over all I thought it was a good mechanical for the price.

Ok, cool, thanks! so that bit that sticks out of the bottom is actually the "button"? That would take some getting used to, after this iTaste vv3 -- do a lot of the mechs operate that way?

If this is a decent one, then I might actually be able to get it, once we do get that fed refund back. It just seems like everytime I look at the "Today's Posts" choice, there is something new about "The Man" doing something nefarious to vapers, and I'd really like to be a position of strength, if/when any stupid laws get passed in this state, or at the fed level. So far, I've seen nothing to do with GA, but you never know; they could just be marshalling their strength for an all-out attack.

Thx!

I just ordered one of those blade mechs. I figger for under $20, not much to lose. We shall see.

Good afternoon..sounds like everyone has been busy. It's been a busy weekend here but lots of fun with the grand kids. The sun is shining and things are really melting. Unfortunately there is always that week or two of muddy mess while things dry up but we're all so excited for the warmer weather. I'm going to be busy sewing summer pj's for the grand kids Easter baskets. I made pjs for Christmas and they really liked them and Lord knows none of them need any more toys (or much candy)

Need to run and rewick my KFLs so I'm ready for the work week...everyone have a great evening..

Thanks for that link, MisKate. Had not heard of the Vapor Lady.

 

[lilac7779]

thevapebook.com has a lot of info and recipes...for those not already familiar with that site.

 

[misswish1]

Did I say thank you MisKate? That was a very good lesson for me, I understood what she said! Then I got lost in some other videos of course. Every time I go there I spend way too much time.

...

Most mechs have a bottom button, either recessed or more commonly, with a locking ring. Some have side firing buttons like the Nemisis, 69, and Smok Natural. One or two have top firing buttons, but those are mostly e-pipe mods like the Hammer by Kato.

Besides having a great local vape shop with all the China made mods I also live nearby and am friends with one of the well known mod makers so it takes a LOT of will power to resist buying new PV's often.

Now that would be so nice. From a co-op I've bought all the parts, pieces, and board to build a DNA30 box mod. I've no idea what I'm doing and haven't used a soldering iron for electronic work for 30+ years. I'm quite nervous that I'll burn the board up trying to solder leads to it. Oh what have I gotten myself into!!!

I don't own a K100 but several of my friends do and I've tried it out. My friends own several different mechanicals and they are very happy with their telescoping K100's.

I'm really liking the Super-T Simplicity. It's been my 'goto' PV for the last couple weeks since I got it. The bottom switch is so smooth and light - it takes nothing to fire it. OTOH - its so light you can't stand it down w/o it firing. I had to train myself to turn the locking ring before putting it down. A couple time when I first got it - I failed to lock it and set it on the table next to me. Then a minute or so later - I smell something burning. Yikes! It was like the old days when the cig would fall out of the ashtray. Always had to pay attention 'till I 'learned myself' to lock it.

What Super-T's do you have, and can they be set down w/o locking them?

 

[amoret]

I'm trying my first clearo cleaning with Efferdent. It was a tablet we had laying around, so it is mint flavored, but even if it doesn't all rinse out the most likely flavors to go in are menthol or mint, so that should be fine. I'll do a report on how that works out.

I now have three mini protanks. One was supposed to be a mini Davide but that was out of stock so I substituted another protank. From what I know of filling the mini Davide that's probably fine, considering my lack of hand coordination for filling it.

I did also order an o-ring assortment so I'm hoping that I can get my big Davide going again. That my all time favorite, but it has (had) a small clear o-ring at the top of the center tube that is really easy to lose , even when you know that it's there, or supposed to be there.

EEEK! I might need to look around more, try to find one that doesn't have that botton button. Unless I'm using my iTaste on pass-thru (anytime I'm here, pretty much, in which case I prop it in a coffee mug), I *always* set it down standing on its end. But then, I kinda have to; those T3S's dribble liquid out the tip something awful.

Hmm teached myself basic soldering for my quadcopter build but im still way to afraid to attempt soldering on a PCB. But i hope for u its just a pre tinned pad for the wire that shouldnt be that much of a hassle as long as u dont overheat the work area with the right wattage. Keep us posted on the build with pics plz!
