Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

[Ken_A]

Normally, I would see things like the rebuildable dripper and shoot off an order.
But I'm going to reward myself with a pro-whatsit next month if I can manage to not spend anything THIS month.
I have to content myself with the VAPEMAIL I got this week from last month's orders...

But you betcha I'm bookmarking left and right!!

Yeah, I kinda feel like Roseanna Rosannadanna... "It's always SOMETHING..."

What does LT mean?

I would guess 'lap top'.

 

[bsoplinger]

Glass would probably be ok, probably not as cold as steel. Not sure I've seen any glass driptips though, where can I find 'em? Seen lots of glass/pyrex tanks, but not driptips I don't think.

Inexpensive ones here:

I like the pawn/vase style.

Interesting... I don't think I'd like the noise factor, but if (doesn't say it is or isn't) that's SS and machined out halfway decently, and having that simple slide to fire design, wouldn't it last for years? One could tuck it in the emergency supply horde.

I have one of these $23.24 Empire KeCig K100 Mechanical Rechargeable Electronic Cigarettes - red / no battery at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping and it is pretty nearly indestructible. Very solidly constructed mech for the money.

My ONLY complaint with it is the button takes a great deal of pressure to push. FOr me that is a problem. Other people LOVE that about the K100 since it won't fire when set on its button even when you forget to engage the locking ring.

Very pretty! Is it that red in person? Or, is more orange-y?

It is coke can red. Best way to describe it.

 

[DancingHeretik]

Very nice! Is there no way you can make it easier to use? Maybe get a different spring?

Oh I am sure with tinkering it can be done. Now that I have the REOs though I am not terribly motivated to fix it. THat sounds terrible but there it is.

People were looking at mechs for vapolcalypse prep. I just wanted to toss this one out there as a really solid option and a decent price.

 

[DancingHeretik]

Well, at least you'll have it in case you ever need it. I've been tempted myself. They are pretty. If only they didn't look so ugly in 18650 mode! I'm not sure I want it bad enough for only 18350 mode.

I'm just sitting up, priming a carto for my tank, checking all the miscellaneous stuff I've thrown to the side to see what needs to be cleaned and what needs to be trashed, AND WATCHING THE TRACKING ON MY 'NEW' REO.

I got a REO mini and RM2 off the classies. It's supposed to be here by Monday or Tuesday. But, tracking makes it look like there's a slight chance it might make it here tomorrow. One can only hope!



ETA: It just left the main post office here in town. Next is the local post office across the street. Then delivery. Could it really be?!

YAY you are going to love it

In case you lost the link this is how I set up the RM2 How To Make A Perfect Micro Coil With The Darkzero Coil Jig - YouTube
I use 30 guage kanthal and wrap on a 16 gauge syringe needle. 8/9 wraps puts me in the 1.2-1.3 ohm range

 

[DancingHeretik]

I've never used anything below 1.8 before. Isn't 1.2 or 1.3 really hot?

That is hard to answer since it is such an individual thing. I do use a slightly longer than average drip tip however. I don't find it hot. Also remember it is a mech. The volts applied will drop as your charge diminishes.

FOr higher ohms just add a wrap or 3

 

[DancingHeretik]

Yup. I'll have to experiment. I already have 32 gauge and plenty of silica. I have 30 gauge in my cart at Amazon and plan to stop by CVS for some rolled cotton.

I'm as excited about the RM2 as I am about the REO!

Remember with the cotton. It expands a TON when wet. So you want to use enough to fill the coil when wet but not so much that it chokes off the juice flow. I hold both ends of the cotton when it is threaded through the coil and give it a little tug back and forth. It should move freely with just the tiniest bit of resistance.

I am afraid I can't explain it any better than that. Once you get the hang of it you will know well what I mean.

 

[DancingHeretik]

How many wraps will fit inside an RM2?

I could always just make it the same as you, but with 32 gauge instead. That might be the best place to start (especially since that's all I have for the next week anyway).

OK. Carto primed and tank all set up. Much better now! It's been frustrating since Ikenvape had the bad batch of cartos!

If you need a cheap RDA the pheonix v4 from altsmoke is 9.99 with drip tip.
