Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

[DancingHeretik]

Yes they are Yours are much prettier than the harbor freight containers I have all my little parts in.

Oh, those are just my pretty ones. I've also got Walmart plastic drawers, plastic school boxes, cardboard boxes, and even a metal & plastic Harbor Freight set of drawers.

I need to get new batts. Have been using the tootsie rolls, but was thinking of trying the VTC 5a

I don't know about those but I have some VTC5's and the HG2 is a longerlasting battery if you aren't going to use over 20a. Make sure you get the real ones, get them from RTD always good.

@mattiem, here's mine.

Besides the Provari collection in the right bottom set of drawers, I've got drip tips, adapters, beauty rings, and such.

Aren't they beautiful?

That looks so nice!

I have a whole room and stuff spread everywhere. I set something down and takes me 10 minutes to find it. So not like mine at all. I'm lucky I can find my ... with both hands in there.

I gotta sell a bunch of stuff. Like a vape garage sale. Just keep what I use. It's funny I though when the STM came out with dual air flow it was the best thing, now I'm going back to single.

About time. Maybe you can get enough $$ for another pair of tires, or two.

Hey I could get a new atty.

Very organized. I have to dig for my stuff.

I may post a photo of all my vape stuff soon. Not plentiful, but more than adequate for my style.

A couple weeks ago, I did a major clean up.

Parts, mods, etc.

Juice, tools, mods, etc

My work space has not been this clean in a long time

 

[DancingHeretik]

OMG! It's beautiful, Mike! I think I'm gonna cry.

My wife quit shortly before I did. She used Chantix. Stopped that after 2 weeks because of horrible nightmares but somehow it did get her off the cigs. Then she was having some withdrawal problems and someone advised her to try vaping. We had both been using cigalikes for years with not much success, but I went out and got her an Evod and one for myself. Worked for her. It took me months and some better gear to quit.

Anyway the wife was using zero nic. After a while she got to where she was only taking a hit every few days when she got stressed. Got her Spinners and PT's.

Earlier this year we had some difficult times and she asked me to put some nic in her PT's. She liked it and carried on using nic. Started vaping more. She said it helped her focus and reduced her appetite.

Last week her PT's needed new heads and I didn't have any ready. I was busy working a lot of hours so I gave her a Nautilus tank. She loved it so now I've got her set up with a Nauti and a Pico and she's vaping up a storm.

Not sure how I feel about it, her going from occasional zero nic vaping to that. But it's her choice. Does mean I need to revisit my stockpile calculations though.

I love reading about success stories.

During my last mix I decided to try 100% PG - nope aint gonna work. I guess I will have to used 75/25 next time. In fact I am going to use a little out of each bottle and add a little VG to the mixes...

I have done similar mixes and had to figure out how to correct the mixture.

Those are beautiful! I would like to have some like that, however, I am happy with my Harbor Freight boxes.

Glad it's a good fit for you! I swapped the translucent covers onto both of mine, I like to be able to see what's going on. Although with it's design, you're not going to accidentally change settings, so it may or may not be an issue for you.

As mentioned in a few threads, the mechanical lock switch MAY be a weak point, so I just don't use it. If accidental firing is a problem, just turn it off. The way I carry - either in a "holster" or a shirt pocket - I don't have any issues with that, so mine don't even get that treatment.

Yeah, I'm going to want the translucent cover, if nothing else so I can see the battery level. But those are some mighty tiny screws. I have a good tiny driver set, but I really wouldn't want to lose one, so probably will wait 'til my daughter is here again. I'm not likely to use the lock switch anyhow, since I'm pretty much sitting in the same spot all the time, and when I do go out and about I take the smaller and lighter VV v3s.

The only problem is I like it so well I'm going to want at least 1, probably 2, more. But it looks like they're selling out with all the 200-300w models replacing them. Not only do I way not need that much power, but they're also all 2-3 battery setups, so even more weight. But there's also the https://www.fasttech.com/products/3032/10018663/7963604 that is also the squeeze firing single battery. So I hope to have options still in a month or 2 when I can afford it again.

My laptop is seriously dying, and I don't want to try to fix it - it's probably just the drive, but who knows. I did all of the drive and memory checks and nothing looked wrong, but it is still making a lot of noises it shouldn't and randomly shutting down. But it is 4 years old, and a cheapo to start with. So tomorrow my new 17" HP refurb will be here. I'm a little leery of both HP and refurb, but I could get all of my wants with this one and still stay in my budget. It still kind of knocked everything else out of my budget for a while.

Oops, doubled up.

Yes, that they are! Whether it's you or the daughter, work over a clean dish towel. And dropsies will stay put

The mad rush to fog machines has made the "low" power single battery devices relics... Which is good for us TPuffers, as long as they stay in stock, but as you say, that's declining. I have no need for 10KW 6 battery mods, either! Nor the 20xxx series mods, even those that come with an adapter for 18650s. Just makes a bigger package in my hand...

@2legsshrt, I got my original Svoe Prime from OriginVape yesterday. I didn't realize 'some assembly' required to use it. There were no deck screws in the deck when I took it apart. Never got an atty w/o the deck screws installed. I guess Svoe was leaving it up to the user which type to use as there were 4 phillip and 4 flat head screws in the spares bag.

SXK did a good job of their copy of it. The differences I see are; the original is polished to a bit higher shine; if you take the top off to fill and look at the 'spokes' ... the clones spokes are wider than the originals; and (this ones subjective) it looks like the chamber of the clone is very slightly higher than the original's. When looking at the assembled atty there a bit more space from the top of the chamber to the bottom edge of the top tank ring on the original.

Out of the box, it was so clean I was tempted just to coil/wick 'er up and vape it. But I did give it a quick dish soap wash anyway. No way could I tell which one I was vaping in a blind test.

Do I regret spending almost 4 1/2 times the price of a clone for the original ... NOPE ... when I can I like to support the original vendor.

Conclusion: I'm liking the vape of the Prime more then the KFV5. On it's widest setting, it works fine for me. I like a loose MTL vape. And, perhaps because the chamber is smaller, the vape is a little warmer ... which is to my liking.

Mentioned we went up to see my folks last week but on the flight home there was a woman coughing up a lung behind us. First time I've gotten an airborne bug since I started vaping five years ago. Bug's a real bugger, stay away from it. Lots of chest and sinus congestion but man, you sure do recover a lot faster when you don't smoke. 3.5 days in and it seems I'll be over it in a day or two. No doctors involved, no prescriptions, no sleeping sitting up. Can't tell you how much I don't miss smoking.

Thank you @holimakaru! I only needed five bottles this year and the shipping would have been twice the cost of the order.

Never said better...

Wow, only 3 multi-quotes...

Good Morning Everyone...
