I'm down to only 4 Ming drip tips. (got plenty of others) Why is it that I only doze off with a mod in my hand when I'm using a Ming!!!!!??
Who broke my Ming vase?

@2legsshrt ... well I'm double waiting now. My FT order of Prime clones is still on hold ... waiting to restock. When I ordered it said 'shipping in 5 days'. The was Nov. 1st. And my original from Originvapes that I ordered Monday morning when they said they were in stock still showed status = processing. this morning. I contacted them, and they said they don't expect them 'till the 20th of this month and asked didn't I see that notice when I ordered . No I didn't it wasn't there, but it's there now. Me thinks they oversold on Monday and now I'm on a waitlist with them too. They at least offered to refund me, but I'll wait. It is what it is.
Yep I have a sneaking suspicion that they probably oversold the ones coming in also. I think you will notice differences between the authentic and the clones but hopefully not anything major. I've noticed differences on the K5s but nothing major but the authentic has a definite tighter draw on the smaller setting, the parts are better like the screws, some of my clone screw are almost stripped on the heads. It's funny the corners they cut to save a few pennies if that. Those 2 guys at Svoe Mesto are working their fingers to the bone. That thing at FT is why I didn't give em a try. They say 5 days and can turn into 5 weeks.

Just to get it straight, MTN is to take a mouthful of vapor and release it slowly into the back of the throat as you EXHALE through the nose. The vapor never goes to your lungs. However, the aerosol droplets discharge their load of nicotine quite freely to the mucous membranes in the nose and sinuses. Just give them time by exhaling slowly.

Just tried this. Burned the crap out of my sinuses. I have a peppery flavor added in to my juice to give me a little bit of a sting to mimic smoke. Ow.

I've got the SXK clone of the KF5. It has been nothing but a great MTL vape. I am using a 3 mm ID coil and very, very fluffy cotton. I have rewicked it a few times with 'Native Wicks Platinum Blend' and I have been using that same coil. I think it has been about a month. Not sure. The only leaks/gurgling I have gotten were caused by my own carelessness. Either from forgetting to shut down the juice control when I put my vape down for an extended period of time or forgetting to shut down the juice control when I opened the top cap. I tend to keep it on the third of four airflow holes. Maybe the diameter of the coil and fluffiness of the cotton is what is working for me?

Mine don't leak. I had one that did, but I figured out it was missing an oring. I use a 2.5 coil & moderate unfluffed wick. I just cut the cotton & put it in the coil without even peeling layers off. Vapes fine.

And you don't want to know what it looks like to me... o_O:w00t::lol::lol::lol:

You're probably right but Dancing might pop if you don't tell her. :lol:

@FlamingoTutu - just to let you know - I am retiring another one of my ancient (6 yr old) batteries. It is working just fine, but the last two times I charged it - it would not take a full charge. The first time I thought maybe a fluke - the second time - time to retire it...

Yep, even the slightest note that a batt is not performing as designed - it gets retired - no matter what the age of it...

Just in time for RTD's Christmas sale! :D I'm sorry for your loss. :nun: Why is it I don't have a problem running after a pack of coyotes with a stick but if I think there might be a teensy problem with a battery I go hide in a closet? Better safe than sorry.

I suspect the way avi's work doesn't allow links, it has to be an image file, not a link to one, and it's probably stored somewhere in your user data here. You could upload it to your "media" folder on ECF and use it from there.

So likely not your Dell or Win10, although there is a slight learning curve going to 10 - until you disable all the fish you don't need, aka the carp, and make it behave more like 7 ;)

It used to just ask for a link. That was before this computer though and I don't think I changed it for several years so who knows. It may all be different after the server switch tomorrow.

If ECF disappears into a black hole during the move tomorrow, it was great knowing you all and you'll be greatly missed. :(

I did warn to be careful with MTN with reference to nicotine in an earlier post. The mucous membranes absorb things differently than the lungs. This apparently goes for flavorings as well.

Much like when first learning to vape, it takes some experimentation to find what works for you. It sounds as though you may have put the mouthful of vapor into the exhale stream a bit fast, making it too intense.

Yea, but I don't know if my noggin could handle the beating it would receive...

Just in time for RTD's Christmas sale! :D

Just recently picked up 4 new batts estimating that some of my old ones might just be due for replacement...

Got my shipping notice from FT today for the Prime clones.

So, now that I'm actually forty, do I get special membership status in this thread or something? :2cool:
Actually, if you don't receive social security or disability, you are only honorary.

I recently ordered a vape item from California to prove that I am over 18. They required a copy of my driver's license. I told them that it would be difficult to do. In a fit of temper, I told them that I live in senior housing. Lo and behold, they checked it, and the item is now in transit.

You're lucky they didn't ask for your first born. And DNA swab. CA is crazy.

Oh dear, now I really don't want to know what you thought it was. :lol:

So, for the sake of curiosity, do the new ones charge a lot faster than the geriatric ones?

Along with the "Get off of my lawn" stickers and a bottle of prune juice, you are now an official Old Fart. :thumb:
