The vape Lair side of the man cave is coming along nicely as well. I built a 22X11 room and split it 50/50 for the man cave...girlfriend got a dedicated quilting/sewing room out of the deal.



I really do have to watch myself and keep things clean and orderly otherwise it goes downhill fast!

I'm sure this makes sense, lol, but what?

sorry.

if you swap the first letters, it's the catch-phrase of one of the most obnoxious utube dudes.


i was trying to subtly express my disdain for him, while trying to give extreme props for the amazing photo Absintheur posted

I had an office/ man cave and my wife still has a scrap book/ quilting room until my son moved in/ left his mother.
I would like to have a vape lair and mixing room some day in the near future.
I have to rebuild my TaifunGT soon. Got the bigger 1.5mm air tub to install today.

Allow me to express the minority viewpoint: I like Rip Trippers.

There, I said it.

We now return to our originally scheduled program, already in progress.

So, I took a chance with one of my R91s tonight. I wrapped a 1/16th, 28g, 9 wrap coil with KGD and to my surprise it is vapping really good on a mech! Came out at 1.25 ohms. I always burnt them up before. I think because I couldn't get the organic cotton ball uniform enough and chocked them out. Of course this is after I made the trip to Harbor Freight to get the bits to grind out the juice channels. I haven't done this yet and may not have to. I may be changing my thoughts on KFL builds!:ohmy: time will tell!

Oh, got the air tube put in the Taifun! Makes a big difference!:)

My Foredom has the foot switch and a couple different shafts and the lathe is foot switched as well. I have dies from just about everyone...lol...Dillion, Lee, RCBS, Hornady, etc. Goes with the territory...



Great job on the spring as well, making a part and fixing something is always very gratifying!

Went back and revisited your picture with the thought - if Dillion could just make a progressive press for rebuilding atty's - how sweet that would be. Stage 1, remove old wick: Stage 2, dry burn coil: Stage 3 - resize coil: Stage 4 - insert new wick. :laugh:

BTW - looks to be a nice PV collection on the back wall. :toast:

Way too organized - quick can I ask you to delete that picture before Janet see's it and compares it to my shop. Yikes! Night and Day.
:lol:
As many times as people have quoted the picture... Including yourself, removing it from the original post just won't work...
Sic 'em Janet!!
Then again... I don't even HAVE a work area and I live alone!! Instead, my office is a storage room and the other spare room is a library.
With a choice between vape and book, sorry, vape takes second. I have over 6,000 books
Not that the library is all that neat either.

Yeah, well, ummm. My work bench consists of a 6'X2'cabinet out in the garage with 2X8's screwed to the top of it so your WAY out of my league. I can only wish for a finished basement to have a man cave in. My 18 year old still inhabits my future man cave!:unsure: He was a second marriage, younger woman thing. On my therd and final now!
Anyway, Great looking shop there! I have a reloading starter kit still in the box, also out in the garage.
See above picture and guess where my hobby/craft/work room is located. ;)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it ;)

I'm running a dual coil build down at 0.9 Ohms right now, and I needed the extra airflow and wicking to get there. If you're enjoying your build, then there's no reason to change (unless you just like to tinker).

Okay, that went so far over my head I needed binoculars to see it. Glad you clarified. :)

Anybody else getting a chronic case of work room/tool envy from all these photographs? Very nice you guys. :thumb:

Just wondering if anyone rebuilds , where do they buy and what do they use as far as wire , wicks , cotton ?
As for the atomiser I like the look of these rdta well not the look but the drip plus tank or a rta if the couple of rdta I have seen are no good and I am more interested in the rebuilding bit and the tank than dripping capabilities.
Just if you can have both and its good but very good rta would be preferable to an ok rdta :unsure:

Just on a lark, yesterday and the day before I recoiled all my clearo heads, got the system down tight. Most are 2.2Ω. I would recommend you get that down good before advancing to RBA's.

I got a speaker for the music on my cellphone-- hooking it up to my HA's picked up too much static. I also ordered a book to help me with the mind-numbing task I have been doing.

Too late! In our case I already know it's a lost cause. This reminds me of the day I took a freshly washed and folded stack of clothes to our son's room. I opened the door and couldn't even see the carpet for all the stuff laying around. So, I tossed in the stack of clothes and closed the door. Why make myself crazy? I suspect some of those dust bunnies had names and favorite baseballs teams. Just don't EVER ask me where something is!

I had an office/ man cave and my wife still has a scrap book/ quilting room until my son moved in/ left his mother.

I have to rebuild my TaifunGT soon. Got the bigger 1.5mm air tub to install today.

I have one of those vape lairs! It's called the kitchen counter next to the sink. Of course I do clean up/put away my mess when I'm done... Speaking of vaping juice, I just broke down and bought 250 ml bottles for my favorite ADV. That way I don't have to clean up the whole mess as often. It would be nice to have a dedicated kitchen cabinet just for vaping stuff, but I'd need a bigger kitchen. Hmmmm.

I don't have to worry about the kitchen, have a deal with the GF on that...I cook and she cleans, works out great.

Btw...tried something new this morning. Took the cheap cinnamon rolls in the refrigerator can and cooked them with a waffle iron. 90 seconds and they were crispy all over the outside, tender on the inside...very tasty!
