Thank you, right back atcha! Bit late I guess, hope it was a good one.

I gargle with it.

Why doesn't that surprise me? :lol: I was going to say I'd bet somebody else here does too but then he confessed...

Not quite gargle, but I do tend to lick any leaks from my rigs. Better than letting them get all sticky, and I can always use the extra nicotine.

Yowzer, that little leak you lick off your tank has enough nic in it to last me a week. :w00t: :lol:


@2legsshrt, I'll be rooting for you all day tomorrow. :wub: (Yeah, I peeked at the BP.) I hope it all goes very smoothly for you through the whole treatment plan. Hang in there.

@MikeE3 what was the resistance of the coil you use in the Prime. Just curious I either have to dryburn the other or put a new coil. Going for option #2 with another 1.5 just like the one I put in the other.

My 2.5mm coils with 7 wraps of 29g Kanthal come out to 1.6 to 1.8Ωs depending whether I wrap around the deck screws or around the 'tangs' instead of the deck screws.

Never tried that. But I've been getting itchy eyes a lot lately from allergies, and I just can't remember not to rub my eyes when I've been vaping. It really sucks, but if I used the nic level you use my eyes would be glowing red sockets by now.

I do the same build on my Kayfuns and am a happy vaper. :vapor::toast:

Didn't think I'd like Kanthal ever again but it's working really well and taste is good also. Will try a TC coil in the Prime but with the MTL style I sort of like Kanthal too. But TC works really well for it also at least with the KFs
Thats if I ever get them the extensions are supposed to be here in 2 days but the attys have been in Beijing since the 20th. I think I have heard of people never getting any confirmation and have them just show up I think. Should've ordered them on the same order but changed my mind at the last minute and instead of spare glass tubs I decided on the extensions. Weird ordered the same day shipped the same day but the important 1 is just sitting in an opium den.

You've got that right. As a vaping DIYer and an extreme hot sauce aficionado (Dave's Jolokia/Ghost Pepper), I've learned some valuable lessons about keeping contaminated hands away from my eyes.

That reminds me back in the day when I used to cook chili...dicing garlic, onions and peppers...only habaneros and jalapenos, but still!
My daughter as of yesterday had not yet opened the peach/jalapeno jam I sent her for Christmas. It is so good, I sincerely hope I can ration what I have until next season.

Sounds like you have another whole jar to go through once yours is empty... :D

Well, my rigs don't leak all that much, and I do tend to need quite a bit of nicotine. :lol:

They don't need to leak much for me to get a week's worth of nic off it. I vape 4mg during the day and about 1mg at night. Maybe it would be 2 weeks of nick off your tank. ;)

The skin around my eyes is actually damaged from all the rubbing I've done from hayfever. Have a Wal-mart around? Look for the Equate Eye Allergy Relief Drops. They work really well and are far less expensive than the others. Perhaps $8 for the others and $3-4 for the Equate ones. Either brand, well worth it for the relief you get.

Well finally some news on my attys supposed to be here the 2nd. Extensions are out for delivery today but of no use without the attys.
But these sirens are working very well other then the leaky base, now that I've found that the kanthal works great in them and the antibiotics seems to have worked so my vaping is somewhat back to normal. I have gotten so used to using MTL style my K5s with the smallest air restrictor also works fine for that style now that I've gotten used to it. Just takes some time after lung hits for a couple of years now it just comes natural. So that will give me 6 attys that will work for my new style and hopefully the Primes will work on TC like the K5s do. Like I say the Sirens work very well with Kanthal and I can control that pretty darned well.
