    :lol: Even I've never been called a hen. I give up, who is your avatar? It looks so familiar but I've never been able to place her.


    It's time to date myself. Actually, it was my wife who suggested it.

    OK I got a VT133 the one DNA I wanted to fulfill my collection and 1 more Tobeco Kayfun V5 wouldn't let me buy 2 said there was only 1 left in stock. Don't know if that is true or they are limiting people to 1.
    Thank you. All better now.

    Grandbaby #13 is on the way. There has been a 2,4,10,12and 13 year old at the house since before sundown yesterday.

    *quietly sitting in the corner chain vaping 100 mg*

    Uh, you don't have anything higher?? :lol:

    I've just finished learning a valuable lesson: coils have to be dry burned more frequently than I feel like doing it. :lol: Two Stumpys, 4 NarDAs, 2 Mantas and a Doge all got rebuilt, this morning. And the first two hours of this afternoon.

    For those who try to make a coil last as long as is humanly possible, how frequently do y'all dry burn?

    For me, it depends on the flavor and what it does to the coil and wick. So no real "life", imo, since we all vape different juices and styles.

    When the flavor starts to decrease, or when you find you have to increase the power for a satisfactory experience, time to rewick and dryburn.

    It's time to date myself. Actually, it was my wife who suggested it.



    Do we want to know why your wife won't date you anymore? ;)

    Or when you have a spurt of energy such as you must've today. I gotta start charting my cleanings. I usually only do 2 at a time and I forget which ones. I started keeping track with One Note. But have gotten lazier. Like David said when they just aren't working well.

    I got my last order from ecig. Too bad they're OOS.

    Try VAPECRAWLER...
    Yeah I did Iffy but I talked to them via chat and they are supposed to have them back at the same price within a week. I will get an email. These new type seem to work better with the little bigger juice holes. Ginny like them.

    {SQUORT} - uh, I'm so sorry. I just tapped off a small barrel of bourbon - want me to send it to you????

    ETA - Congrats on the new Grandbaby!!

    Hey anybody got the Nautilus BVC heads cheap beside Fastech. I waited too long to get them at ecig.com they are OOS.

    Not sure which heads you like, but VaporBeast has Triton Mini coils for about $6/5-pack (YEAHBABY or TENOFF might net you a 10% discount)

    Depends on what I'm vaping, and how often I'm using the topper. I have a lot in rotation, so they don't see "excessive" use. When it starts tasting bleh, I will do a dryburn. I'm kinda .... in that I don't like krusty koils. Might be every other tankful. Might be 3 or 4 tankfuls....

    What a picture you just put in my head!

    It's time for grandpa's nerve tonic ! Dinger, I don't think a small barrel will be quite enough...

    Things are going surprisingly well, as long as you ignore the condition of most of the rooms in the house. The man cave is a little foggy, though.

    Well Ginny likes the Nautilus 1.6 BVC's and I am trying to get her stocked up for at least 1 year or more. Have 7 boxes o thos and 4 boxes of the old type BVC's 1.8 but would like to get the 1.6's up to 15. That will hold her for a while. I don't use them Maybe in a pinch in a Kabuki. These Kabuki's seem really nice for $20 from Fastech.

    I rewick and dry burn my 2 primary atty's about every 10-12 days and Janet's 2 primaries about every 12-14 days. I vape at 14 watts and she vapes at 10 watts. Both our juices are relatively clear in color and no sweet juices.

    Pat, are ya saying dere's a Gen III Naughty BVC? I know dat da Gen II BVCs (larger four joose holes dan da originals) were a definite improvement! Any larger and I would fear 'flooding'.

    BTW, still stockin' up on da Gen II as $ales occur...

    No I think they are the Gen II lots better then Gen I. I have 4 boxes of the Gen I's and they are 1.8's those are emergency now that we have the 1.6's Gen II

    I think all the Gen 1 are gone. They should keep both. One for high VG vapers, the other for high PG vapers (like me).

    I was able to get 2 of the black ones. That brings my total to 6 (4x SS, 2x black). And this from the guy who was perfectly happy w/ the V4s and had no desire for a V5. :rolleyes:

    Yep that's what I have also 6 SS counting the one authentic and this from a guy who think the STM is the best thing to happen to vaping. I must've gotten the last SS then.

    I need to straighten up my Vape Room. Not sure where to start. Thinking about getting some atty stands and get all the STM's that I have used cleaned and rebuilt with some VG on the wick. Then when I want to use them all I have to do is add juice. I'm putting my 2 SXmini ML's into their boxes along with my 2 Special Edition M's unused except to upgrade the firmware to the latest firmware before they stopped upgrading the M. Along with my PV's, VTCminis and I suppose the RX200 which really doesn't work that well for me in my Vapocolypse box along with some unused STM's. It's a mess up there right now. I'm trying to figure out what I should do with my flavors. I have been keeping them refrigerated. I could put 1 of each flavor on a spice rack or something. They are mostly just 10ml bottles a few 30's and maybe 3 120's. Pay no attention to me I'm just thinking outloud of what I need to do. I need to move my old computer back up there so I have one there. I have a lot of stuff and just trying to figure out what is going to be the best way to make it not look like a rats nest.

    Sounds familiar. I start organizing, then change my mind mid-stream. Leaving a mess. Then it's harder to get started on the new plan.

    I'm not good at telling how things will work before I get it mostly done and SEE how it's going to work. It's a messy way to organize.
