I think I'm going to put my Q's on the classsies and get a couple DNA200's. I don't need the 200w but from my understanding the chip is actually more efficient then the 75 so my battery life would be amazing. I'd like to get a Triad with the 3 18650's and maybe one of the Lipo ones that you can get extra batteries for and they are easy to change. The max I use right now is about 15w.

I can sure relate. I've found a few vendors that have a flexible return policy and figured their sizing out and stick with them.
And I dislike the stores at the Malls for the most part. Dang young folks clothes except for Jeans.
I wonder if I could do that. If I could just find a vendor or two that I like and get to know their sizing? So tempting.

Of course, I'ld still have to go in person for bras. I need them now!
What's going on with your stuffs?
That doesn't sound good. ?Kay-Paso Chica?
When something's not going right with one of my setups, I tend to have to walk away. I'll change from one to another to get away from the first for a while. But, when I have trouble with one, it tends to carry over to anything else I try.

For example, I decided several days ago to build on my new Kayfuns so I could find out right away if the airflow was working right or if there were any other problems with the new ones.

I build a coil that the mod won't read. I look closely to make sure everything looks right. I move the KF to another mod that DOES read it. I finish wicking and filling. Then that mod won't read it either. I'm assuming that the 510 is probably not sticking down far enough to make contact. But, I'm not sure.

I decide it's time to walk away because I'm getting frustrated.

I decide on a carto-tank next. I fiddle with my thingy and plenty of liquid is missing from the thingy and gone into the carto. But, when I vape it, it's dryish. I mess with it a little more, but stays the same. Nothing obvious. I didn't put an unpunched carto in or anything. (I have done that before.. Don't laugh!)

Now I'm getting really frustrated.

So, I just keep using the KF that I already have working and walk away from the rest for a while. Each day I think about going back, might fiddle with the carto-tank a tad, then put it off another day.

In the meantime, the KF I'm using is starting to get really cruddy and just about unusable.

So, I look for the KF I had been messing with. I can't find it. It's somewhere around here, but where?

I finally pull out another KF and build it. Everything seems perfect. But, after a few puffs, it starts getting dryish. I need to open it up and make sure the wicks didn't get moved. But, I didn't right away. I whined instead.

But, I just now drained the juice, opened it up, made a couple of adjustments, and it's working fine now.

I get frustrated real easily. Which means I tend to mess up anything else I try while I'm frustrated. On occasion, I've gone from RBA to cart-tank to clearo, and every one of them wouldn't work right for me. Because I'm already frustrated!

I can imagine; they stock for the masses which we obviously don't fit that category. For me it's 35w x 32l pants that I can't find but online. And we know that we're sure not the only ones?????[emoji38] Okay @Kenna I got it they don't want our money. Guess I'll buy another Mod[emoji38][emoji38]:D:banana:
Mods are easier to fit!

But, then if it failed and took a while to get working right, I wouldn't have something to vape to keep me calm while I'm working on it! Perish the thought!

ETA: But, I did just that once I got the new one working right. So, now I have two working. All better now.

Loved and Swiped!!

I absolutely hate shoppin' fer my clothing. Any more, I have to try each and every item I'm shoppin' pher pher phit; no phreakin' QC! No mo' grabbin' multiple items per brand based upon one phittin'...
Jup......even the exact same shirt, exact same size, brand everything I've seen be way off. And they really think all fat people are short. I've only got 2 prs of pants that aren't highwaters.

So is OSDIY - but it is 15% off (code: ECF)
This is good for the whole month of September. Loaded a few more things to my osdiy cart and waiting on that BCF code to place another 30+ flavor order (just got 20+ flavors yesterday).

Have you checked out the DNA 60's? Some like these better than the 200's.

Oh and how about a custom theme screen for your 200.

Was it a KFV5? They have short 510's. One of mine is hit or miss on one mod ... but works fine on another. So that's where it resides.

yay!! that'll be purdy!!

Need yur help or any other mathy peeps....... I have 120mls of 75pg, 24mg juice. I can do the flavor part, but need to know how much pg and vg I need to add to make it 75 pg, but only 15mg of nic. Or thereabouts. 16 ok if that's easier etc. Would like it less than 18 but not really less than 15, but whatever is easiest. If I get it too low I can always add a smidgeon more nic lol
I use the @HotRod19579 recipe calculator to figure out how to cut my 100mg/ml nic down to 2 or 3mg unflavored base - New Calculator to try

add the ingredients (nic, pg, vg) then create a new recipe with the 3 ingredients and your target nic/size. If you have problems ask in the thread for the calculator and we can guide you through it. it has a help guide but I jsut sorta figured it out on my own and by asking questions in the thread.

Here is one of my unflavored base recipes and how I entered my 100mg/ml 50/50 nic ingredient:

Add 70 ml of 75/25 PG/VG to get 15.16 mg/ml endpoint.

thanks fellas......asked another place too and was told sumpthin I knew but had totally forgotten.......Mix the same thing in 6mg and add them together. Then I don't have to worry about how much more flavor to add. It's my ADV so I can definitely vape 240mls easy.

They have a new flavoring line, Real Flavors, that sounds good. I'm going to try a couple of theirs this time.
Some of the other flavor sites have it also. You can get the extract versions of RF from walmart now - "Real Flavors" - Walmart.com

the extracts are concentrated so much they recommend you use about 1/5 of what you would use for their normal vg based flavors. Lots of great reviews of the RF line on the VU and ELR forums. I got baklava, french toast and pumpkin pie extracts yesterday from walmart. Only mixed the FT so far and gave it a warm bath to speed up the steep hopefully.
