That's the way Ginny is right now she barely set it down. She's going though about 8 or 10ml a day but shes stopped coughing and her 02 is up to 92 and her pulse is down to 78 from about 90. That's what it was just sitting in her recliner. She would barely put a cig out and have another lit. Plus now she gets in the car and complains about how bad it smells same with the house. 2 weeks now without a stinky.

WOW!!! Had to move this post right to the top!!! That is sooooooo fantastic!! What's the longest she's gone in the past??? This post made my heart so happy!!! And like everyone else said........Ginny.....welcome to the world of vape!!!!

3D Fire Meter If you get one of these don't tell me ... I'd be quite jealous.

I hear ya. Been wanting a 521 tab for quite awhile. But those fire meters are sure nice!

Found some information and thought of something. BTW, we don’t check anything because of the $25 per bag fee either. Makes packing interesting. You can:

It was nice flying southwest to Florida. I could have checked two bags free, but only had one. It was a big one though. I mostly had shorts and tank tops for clothes, so that helped, no need for sweatshirts etc.

I expected cloud chasers might vape less, but since they usually vape at a lower Mic level I was not sure. I was hoping for more replies.

And I expected Gary's reply...

Now that I know what you're looking for. I'm no cloud chaser by any means, but when I moved from 1.3 ohm kanthal coils to .5 ohm SS coils, I did have to lower my nic after about 2 months, and I dropped it a lot. From 24mg to 15mg. Wow. Never thought I'd get that low. I go through a lil more juice of course, but haven't really noticed any difference in the time I spend vaping.

In my man 'purse' (yeah I can call it that 'cause it's a Maxpedition model and I know its not a purse)

lol For the last 5-6 years, up until just recently, I used a maxpedition bag as my purse! I love it, but the neck strap was rough, so finally found a purse at goodwill that had a better neck strap. I do need to have a purse that with a long strap that I can put cross wise over my shoulder/body.

except the time I forgot to take my Leatherman out of my man purse.

what's that?

"Into The Wild" has a scene about "The Magic Bus".

That was a powerful movie, but I thought it was all about the bus and him living in it

The Great Alone is a movie, documentary, about Lance Mackey. Three main themes are his love for his dogs, struggle with his father leaving and surviving throat cancer and its aftermath. Not sure if he still smokes but would love to nail him to a wall and explain vaping to him if he is still smoking.

Just checked and netflix has this, so I put it in my list.

It's so much easier to catch up by waiting until you all have gone to bed and don't talk back until the morning.

JUP!!! Been doin this for a long time! So have you for that matter.

Grand baby #13 is due by the end of the week. Grandma and I are going to their place about 30 miles away and ride herd on a 2,4 and 12 year old while mom and dad do the new baby drill. Got my vape supplies all packed.

Wahooooooo Congrats!!!! How many kids do you and your wife have?

What's between a tootle puffer and a cloud chaser? I'm that. Unless I'm in the car or out with peeps, in which case I'm a tootle puffer

well someone beat me to it, but jup.....it's a modwhomper
The woom next door, pull up a pew Wompers.

The 4 year old thinks I'm a dragon, because smoke comes out my nose sometimes.

hehehe that's adorable! But ya gotta teach him it's vapor comin out yur nose!

I was pleasantly surprised with the smell as I was mixing it. I almost dipped a finger so a taste! Vaping the Creme Brulee right now and it is just like I thought

kewl. I've got creme brulee from vaping zone, which is essentially the same as Leg's russian flavors I believe, only not quite as strong. Really good. Haven't made any of that for awhile. Need to make some up.

'Member da ol' kid's lesson, "Right hand, milk hand. Left hand, cookie hand." In my case, "Right hand, PV hand. Left hand, wipe!"...

the wipe part went over my head.....didn't get it, but I know in your left hand is a BLL anyhow! And milk schmilk.....kids need a cookie for each hand!! That was one of the reasons I decided a decade or so ago to be 3 forever!

I should get some more Nauti heads for Gin while I can get them cheap and show her how to fix her own just in case, ya never know.

well yeah she needs to know how to do it, but you can forget that other part mister!!! Made my tummy feel bad too.

You mean out to lynch, right?

hehehe good one!

EDIT - Anybody else finding the bracketed arrows very annoying? I don't mind ECF paying the bills but sheesh.

yeah I'd wondered what that was......but wuzn't too annoying, just weird. But am glad they are reworking them

Just found out yesterday that I have to start learning my supervisor's job... there's a very good chance that I'm going to be doing that job pretty soon.

Cuz you'll be promoted to that soon? Or just have the additional duties dumped on ya for no more pay? Nosy aint I ??? lol

I can say, with absolute certainty, that those little boxes are more accurate for reading milli-ohms than my Fluke is, by a large margin.

wow, that's amazing. I knew they were accurate, but didn't know they were that accurate! But what does that mean to me? If I'm showing a .5 ohm coil on a cheapo meter..........how much different might it read on a USA meter?

 

[Sir Kadly]

what's that?

Examples of Leatherman

 

[Debadoo]

Examples of Leatherman

thanks. I've seen those, just never knew that's what they were called.

 

[kross8]

That's cute! Where in Walmart?

Sent from my LG-V700 using Tapatalk

yes,, in my case on the deep discount row. but its normal location is the gift shop/local sports team shop area. mine were cheap because they are .... ugly... they are 'camo' with Kemah written across them.....(i will change that over time)........uh,,, Kemah is a nice on the water/boardwalk tourist area .. and you cant hunt for probably 30-50 miles because the animals are protected.. that why we have so many awesome deer everywhere.

 

[LittleBird]

Good morning!

A mod womper, huh? I'd seen that term - on someone's signature, I think - but didn't know what it meant. Cute!

@Debadoo, USA Ohm Meters advertises a couple of the meters for super low ohm builds. I think when you get really, really low, a tenth of an ohm can matter. A lot. For me, it wouldn't matter one whit!

@2legsshrt, what great news about Ginny! Woo hoo!!!

 

[clnire]

Go Ginny, go go go!

 

[Debadoo]

uh,,, Kemah is an nice on the water/boardwalk tourist area .. and you cant hunt for probably 30-50 miles because the animals are protected.. that why we have so many awesome deer everywhere.

you and kenna are nearly neighbors. She knows kemah well. I used to live in Galveston in the early 80s. My son is a BOI

thanks. I wasn't sure if the difference was a tenth or less than that. Would it matter much at .5 ohms do ya think? Don't really expect it would matter if it's .5 or .4 but I can see maybe .1 or .2 for them folks

Ok. Got a bad VV4 from FT.
Send a picture?
Ok. Pic sent.
Can't tell it's bad. Send a video. But we can't accept video's so put it on youtube for us to see. But don't mention our name on youtube.
If we see it's bad we'll tell you how to return it.
And they remove the stickers from them cuz they're so cheap. (wrong. Some US stores are cheaper)

Sooo... short story... only buy parts on FT IMHO.

 

[Debadoo]

yuck Gary, sorry I'd escalate that one if it was very expensive. I've always heard they're pretty good about returns. Hope this was just a crappy employee and not a sign of things to come

 

[garyoa1]

Like $32. But "if" they see it's bad via video (dead. just won't charge) they want me to return it so they can see it, then they'll ship a replacement. So shipping to china is... how much? And probably a month each way. And who knows how long for them to check it in the first place... meh. Pretty much the end of actual "working" products for me. They reduced themselves to a (last resort) parts place for me.

 

[Debadoo]

yeah but that's what I mean. I'd ask to talk to someone higher than the one you're talking to. It may not work, but it might. And explain all that to the higher up person, and tell em you expect them to stand behind something that is DOA. May be futile, but worth a try

 

[garyoa1]

Well, the red flag to me was "they take the innokin authentication sticker off" because they sell them so cheap.

 

[mattiem]

OK, ya win wid da bestest post today! What a grand post...

As to my vapin' habit, re my ol' sig line, "If I'm awake, I vape!"

'Member da ol' kid's lesson, "Right hand, milk hand. Left hand, cookie hand." In my case, "Right hand, PV hand. Left hand, wipe!"...

In my case it is left hand, PV hand. Right hand, mouse hand I only put the PV down to type

 

[retired1]

Well, the red flag to me was "they take the innokin authentication sticker off" because they sell them so cheap.

Innokin has never "approved" Fast Tech as a seller of their products. While it may indeed be an "original", it's not with Innokin's blessing.

 

[Semiretired]

In my case it is left hand, PV hand. Right hand, mouse hand I only put the PV down to type

So that's why you don't post much...

 

[MikeE3]

2 weeks now without a stinky.

Good news indeed.

 

[mattiem]

So that's why you don't post much...

hehehehehe, I never made the connection but I think you are right

 

[garyoa1]

One would assume the manufacturer would add the sticker. I doubt they'd care who sold them. I've bought innokin from them before but they always had a sticker. And this is the first bad innokin I ever got.
I have bought cloned I30's before. (not from FT) They all say Iclear 30 but aren't. No air channel on the bottom. But work fine.

 

[Semiretired]

Looks like I am going to be in the market for a new charger. I currently have two X-tar chargers and on one of them the right bay seems to charge when it wants to - need to replace it.

Any good suggestions on chargers?

I will probably buy it from RTD...
