I mix in the bottle, the ones with the microscopic necks? Marked or unmarked, the least messy way to do it is with a syringe for me, the slob. :unsure:

Dang CRS... That was supposed to be "use your 10 ml syringe, put 10 ml WATER in the big bottle...." So your bottle gets marked in accurate increments, for mixing later... :facepalm:

Wow, lots of activity since last night. Let's see if I can remember the relevant portions.

Pizza: Anchovies, yes; Pineapple, no. On a related note, I love blueberry muffins, but blueberry bagels? That's just wrong. Favorite pizza of all time: the white clam pizza at Pepe's Pizza in New Haven, CT. Real coal-fired pizza ovens. So good, I'm drooling a little just thinking about them.

Men at Work, Down Under: Hard to believe that song was released 34 years ago. Flashback to the 80s! More 80s vaguely Australian cheese:



kayfun V4 + P3: Legs, I'm jealous! You have a really great setup there!

Shipping: I'm sure everyone is getting backed up after black Friday and with the Christmas season arriving. They'll get it sorted out eventually, they always do.

Grading: Unfortunately, not everything can be fixed by a curve. Why do students sign up for a course, do all the work, and then not take the final exam? It's beyond me. I can understand blowing off the course entirely, though it seems like a big waste of $400 to me, but why do all the work and then tank the course? One thing that I picked up along the way is that I never say "I've given you an A" or "I've given you an F." I always say, "You've earned an A" or "You've earned an F." Because, I'm not "giving" them anything. I'm just doing the math, and they've earned whatever they've earned. That's my rant for the day.

Mixing into bottles: Get yourself one of these or similar:

They work great with thicker liquids like VG, and are easy to wash. Don't get a funnel with a long narrow spout. I did, and I never use it, because it takes too dang long for the VG to pour through.

The new porch: Tell me again about the rabbits, George!

It would work well with a plastic bottle but is a bit tough with the amber glass ones since it's really hard to even see into them, at least for me. Guess I could mark the full line with a piece of mailing label and shine a flashlight through the bottle to see. :laugh:


Got a WL shipment and the Tiramisu bottle leaked badly. Whole house smells like coffee. :facepalm:

You kknow that Provari V1 was the only disappointment I have ever had from them. But being it was the first VV Mod it was understandable. The problem with them was they had like a 1.5 amp cutoff. You couldn't use them with anything lower then about a 2.5 ohm cartomizer I was using a 1.5 at the time and you would get the ERR 2 everytime you used it. I had waited 5 weeks for it. They had it fixed right away and I sent it in and came back within a week all fixed. Still works like new. I also got it in Chrome which they stopped because they had a problem with. It would flake off. Only my 18650 end cap did that and I replaced it with a polished SS one. They quit selling the chrome so it's kind of a collector's item now.

34 years?! You didn't have to bring that up. Dundee, he was great. :wub:

The funnel is nice but it seems the syringe is easier with less potential to be messy.

Yes, was thinking there could have been far worse flavors to leak. Finally took it out of the bag to wash it off and realized the vial actually cracked. :(

Well I guess when I get the V4 tomorrow I'll be able to get down and dirty with it right away. I understand it comes with the SS center section installed and I want the glass section soooooo I have watch Busardos video about 4 times putting up with his egotistical way. It is the best one I have found for getting at all the parts and getting it together right. The one thing I'm not sure of is when I rewick I always wash the deck and coil. Trying to figure out if I have to take the air chamber apart to dry it or if there is a little moisture left in there will it make a difference. There are 4 air holes plus the chamber that the juice flows into. It's not that difficult to take the bottom section with the build deck completely apart but would rather not if I don't have to.

I've rinsed my wicks and rebuilt with wicks that were wet (with water) before. You don't get any visible vapor for a while (a few minutes), but then the eliquid replaces the water and the normal vapor production comes back up. You just have to puff away at it for a while, and it works perfectly fine.

When I rinse my wicks with water - I blow them out first and it only takes maybe two puffs and the vapor starts.

Well I will just do my best when I get to that point. I use cellucotton so the wick will be dry, new but ther is a chamber that the juice flows into when you open up the flow control and also a chamber that the air goes into that are all below the build deck. It's kinda hard to explain you would have to watch a video on it to understand what I mean. In fact I have to watch it again. It might not be as hard as I think cause when you remove the deck from the tank I think it leaves one of the chamber open.

Okay - New Porch Design. Since we are virtually connected and we are also an internationally developed group then our Porch should also be virtually located - Now it is just up to Mike to make it work... :D

Looks nice semi, I'm thinking we could issue 'rings' to everyone joining the porch for getting around easier.
