Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

But I'm really going to have to bite the bullet and spend the money on the small order and shipping fees so I can get some more of my favorite flip cap bottles. But it hurts to spend that much.

If you're not in a hurry, anything HERE tickle your fancy?

 

[amoret]

What company had them? Weren't they in a huge lot?

Containerandpackaging.com has them in smaller amounts, but they have the small order fee and really high shipping. The place that had the huge amounts was a direct from china one.

Unfortunately, no. I did get some from them, but the ones I got turned out to have the "best" childproof caps I've ever seen.

Phew just caught up on the last 3 pages. Been gone for awhile to go to sis in laws memorial. About a week.Did want to say about the EH Pro kayfun Lite plus V@ 2 holer clone that while I was not able to line up the center pin so I could see through it it still vapes very well. The other thing I've noticed is if you try to open the air screws much beyond flush to the bottom I can't get it to make contact with the mod tried on the PV and the MVP2. The screws hit the ring that you screw into. Like I said though tighter draw but doesn't flood so I am still happy.

You could always just take the screw out altogether. Although, I've done that on a EHP nano KFL and the extra air, if any, is so minimal I can't tell the difference to having the screw backed out flush to the bottom of the atty.

You may find this difficult to believe, but it's OK with me if you call it anything you want, as long as I understand what you're talking about But, when I write, I usually don't use the terms "analog," "digital," or "stinkies." I usually refer to "cigarettes," "atomizers," "batteries," "mods," and so on. Some of these terms are pretty arguable as well (like most mods now-a-days aren't really mods, in the original sense). I suppose I should say vaporizers instead of atomizers, or something, but atty is short and easy to type.

You left out 'heater'. I always get a kick reading a post by a European when they refer to atty's as 'heaters'.

I hate when people call it "oil." I feel like I'm vaping 10W-30.

Hey, I have some juice that tastes like it. :/

Regarding plastic bottles for dispensing home-brew, I like the twist-tops. I didn't order any new ones but I loaded up my cart with a 24-pack of the 4-oz bottles to find out how much the shipping was. The shipping was almost $20 but still, it would be less than $1.50 per bottle with shipping included.

Even being a chocoholic, just the thot of vaping chocolate was stomach turning. But somehow got stuck trying one. Got hooked.

I have to laugh.
While at a vape meet, I was busy trying flavors when I happened upon one called "Rose"
I know a lot of vapers vape "flower" flavors, but my nose immediately curled at the thought of vaping a rose.
Thing is ... we associate smell with taste, like eating food, ..but the taste, ..is really the smell.
So I tried it. I can't say yummy, like I would with food, but I can say beautiful.
It was just like sticking your nose in a real live rose.
You don't "taste" a rose when you smell it, and I didn't "taste" the vape, but the aroma was fantastic.
You can walk into a kitchen and enjoy the aroma of fresh baked cookies, and it was the same with the rose .. just the aroma from the vape was fanatic.

The juice is coming directly through the chimney with each draw, due, I think, to the fact that I pull more volume with the wide drip tip.

I would get that too. Then I happen to be using a transparent drip trip, and noticed all the condensation building up into droplets inside of it.
Sooner or later they would get in my mouth. I used to take a Kleenex corner and absorb it out of there.
Then I found out that if I took my finger off the button a few seconds before finishing the draw, that I finished getting all of the vaper out of the mod, and the droplets quit forming ...weird, but it worked.

I still like "analog" as a euphemism for a cigarette.So for me, analog means antiquated, digital means new and improved.

That's the way I see it too.

That's just silly. Everyone knows that bread is meatless meatloaf.

and eggs are "boneless chicken"

I get irritated when people look at my PV and say"Oh! You are smoking one of those e-cigarettes!"

That pushes my buttons too. I immediately see them as,... well, I'll say "uninformed".
It's better to remain silent and let people thing your stupid, than to open your mouth and prove it

I haven't had a cold either, and it's been almost 5 months, I'd have at least one (hayfever season is upon us) by now..if not two..and notta, no more "chronic bronchitis" either

DITTO DITTO DITTO .. good for 2 years now (nothing like coughing up phlegm with blood spots in it.)
LOVE my germicide vape

Isn't straight VG about like 90W?

 

[bigbells]

Only below 32 degrees. At higher temperatures it becomes too thin to be used as transmission oil in a 1969 MGB. Go ahead, ask me how I know.

 

[DavidOck]

Um, OK. Asked.

BTW, my '60 BugEye manual spec'd 30 for engine, trans and diff... that's as good as using toppers that can all run the same coil!

I took some liberty with the figures (and the facts). The Chilton manual for my purchased-off-the-junk-heap 1969 MGB specified 80 weight oil (might have been 70) for the manual transmission gearcase. I let an MGB parts store sell me 40 weight because that's the heaviest he had. The transmission started smoking like crazy about 5000 miles later and failed completely within another 1000 miles.

That sounds like perfectly normal behavior for an MGB to me.

When I bought that car, the engine was seized. The way I "unseized" it was to take off the cylinder head and pound each piston head using a piece of 2 x 4 and a sledge hammer. Professional grade work. Got 50 miles to the gallon.... of oil.

Nowadays I get by on about 5 or 6 ml per day of vaping oil.

My college roommate had an MGB that he and his father rebuilt as a summer project. I had a Fiat X-19. His car was more reliable than my car, which isn't saying a lot about either car.

You fried an MG?

I'm really surprised how many people have said this. Glad you are enjoying them.

Needlenose bottles? Guessing wrong link.

Reread your post. I was wondering why anyone would buy 10ml of VG.

he. No, correct link. I'm just pleased that Amazon is selling more and more VAPE equipment.

hmmmm "natural plastic"... GottaWonder where they grow the plastic plants, and do they only use organic pesticides.

Well, it had already been parboiled and baked, declared totaled before I bought it. Getting it to chick magnet status would have taken much more moolah than I had. The car of my dreams at that time was a Triumph TR6 but I had to settle for the wrecked MGB.

But no, it wasn't me who fried it. It was that decrepit old man (who had to have been pushing 30) at the counter of the MGB parts department who convinced me that the tranny would be fine with the too-thin oil, just so he could make a lousy buck.

If that story isn't sad enough for you, though, I can tell you (in the other thread) about my '57 Chevy.

Couldn't figure out why my vape was tasting a little thin. I'd forgotten that the PV I just switched to was set at 8.3 watts. Bumped it up to 12.5 watts and all is right with the world again.

Never trust anyone over 30! Or, I guess in this case, anyone pushing 30.
