Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

Yes, that was me. It was one of the cylindrical ones in this pack from Harbor Freight. A few of them are the same size and are a good match for the existing groove, so I just started with those. I was trying to make the existing channel deeper, without making it that much wider. Just mount it in a drill press, and press the channel right up against the bit. Don't forget to remove all the little bits from the build deck first.

Thanks, I have a set of those. What speed did you set the drill press to? (if you remember)

Well that was a dose of reality - five attempts to get this dual coil build.

Ohm meter = no result , no result , 6-8Ω , 6-8Ω.

Thought this 26 gauge I could use but nope trying for a dual build to get to 1Ω said i needed 19 wraps , so i went for the 29 gauge 8 wraps.

The ones that you unscrew the screw and put the wire through holes well there easier to get through than wrapping around a screw but when tightening to close of the hole its hard to get it tight enough that the wire holds but not to tight that the wire breaks.

Wire moving tighten screw wire still moving tighten screw wire still moving nope broke off.

Took apart the ehpro and the wick out and gave the coil a fire and watched it glow evenly and superbly - for some motivation and to think yes this is a great build i can do it. (single coil)

Put one coil through posts 1 & 3 and the other the other side through posts 2 & 4.

Still it does in a way pull one or both of the end wraps away a bit - tried to have one length going straight and the other length on an angle.

Maybe next time try to have the ends go out like a V but the closer you get them to the posts the more they end wraps get pulled apart and was trying to not have the coil at the edge of the base/tank/atty thingy.

Did get it - ohm meter was blank but then put it on a mod and that said 1Ω then back to the ohm meter and it said 1.2Ω

Been having a vape on it and still reading 1Ω.

Sounds like you might have a ohm meter problem.

I was running it at lower speeds, probably around 2,000 RPM, but it's a small bit, so you could probably go higher without having to worry too much about heat. As long as the bit doesn't pop out of the channel, you're fine. Just sprinkle some water on it periodically to keep it cool.

Whew! Glad you figured that out. I was getting nervous about future purchases. When I'm mixing I don't want any distractions because its so easy to mess up. Sometimes mistakes do work out though as long as you figure out what went wrong. I accidently mixed either pomegranate or Janet's Heaven with Mike's RY4 and he liked it. Sometimes fruit and tobacco go well together.

I'm glad I figured it out too as I almost dumped 4 oz of flavoring down the drain. Be nice if I could blame the screw up on a distraction but no such luck.

It's possible to get nic in a VG base, and also possible to get some flavors in a VG base, so you can have almost 100% VG. Some people really do vape pure 100% unadulterated VG (mainly for cloud competitions), but I don't know why you'd bother, without the nic or flavor. As to whether you'd call a mix that had PG flavor in it 100% VG, some people do, and some don't. Some just say "max VG," and others consider the flavor to be a PG% in the final blend. So, for example, VG nic + VG + 20% PG-based flavors would be 80/20 VG/PG.

There are some people that are completely intolerant of PG and have 100% VG juices. Wolf, if you look around there should be a number of threads about VG flavors though I don't understand why you want an all VG juice. Here are two:

Now ya talkin'!

Mike, my iStick button has been functioning great since I took your advice!

Could you please remind me what that advice was? There's a guy over in the iStick thread that sounds like he's having the same problem.

 

[FlamingoTutu]

Good Morning Everyone...

Great Porch suggestions - Even Mikes pic could have its place - in case someone gets in the dog house and needs a quiet place, but still wants the view.

I could gnaw my way out of the "dog house" in about three seconds flat and even Sloth could claw and crawl his way out in about three hours and 12 minutes.

How about something like this?



Iffy wouldn't have to wear his snow bunny suit but the dogs would have to find a new beach ball.

I can't find Mike's original post but here's what Iffy said. I remember the problem because I'd just gotten the iStick.

BTW, Mike, two judicious applications of a lil' rubbin' alcohol and a tired thumb has resolved my eStick button issue thus far!

Put a drop or two on the button so it seeps in and hit the button a bunch of times, carefully, until it unsticks.

Sunny! I like it! Looks like the perfect place to sip some sort of rum-based frozen beverage.

That's much better. Even I could put up with that. Iffy you can have the spare bedroom. Just keep it down ok?

Are you sure you can't say .... here?

Papa you get one of the suites.

 

[MattB101]

Guess not. Ridiculous!

 

[PapaSloth]

Not just ...., you also can't say ...., ...., ...., .........., ...., ..., ....., ...., ......., ......, ...., or ......

But you can say "piss," so that's OK.

I need a less formal chair. I have a Sears recliner from the '72 sale that I still use. The porch does seem to have space...

As long as it isn't being held together with duct tape. But somehow, I think it probably is
