Watching some docs, watched the whole series called Cold War Armageddon, now watching nuclear secrets, I had no idea how close we came to almost complete world annihilation in 64 by Kruschev. Kind a scary if it hadn't been for a spy from Russia we probably wouldn't be here.

I don't have a K5 but loads of the older ones but this should apply to all attys. Thin the tails out by scraping through them with a pin, tweezers, pick or whatever. I been building 4 years now and using scissors along with hands of a surgeon to thin my tails and just within the last few weeks saw a video of a guy scraping with pointy tweezers through his cotton tails to remove the bulk without removing wick from the coil. IMO its genius and now that I scrape my rayon builds to remove the bulk my vape quality stepped up to another level. I can now pull like hell and the coil keeps up. Choking wick is IMO the first and foremost reason of dryhits, juice doesn't make it to the coil is too blame long before coil tightness could be the issue.
You know I've been wondering if Rayon would be more absorbent I have enough to stretch around the world twice.

He already had the nukes set up to attack Europe and the ship that Kennedy stopped on the way to Cuba had the nuclear warheads for the rockets already in place in Cuba. It was stopped withing a week or 2 of Kruschevs plan that would've only left the USSR.

Does anyone know how the caps for bottles are measured? What I am wondering the bottles I am ordering have a 22-400 cap but I also have some amber bottles that need decent caps they are slightly smaller then my blue bottles I have so would they be 20-400 or 24-400 not sure which way the numbers go but I am assuming they would be 20-400 they seem to get cheaper going down so I am assuming that would be correct.

From what I understand with cotton and hemp is that the juice gets absorbed into the fiber, expanding it then flows to the coil, too much and it bottlenecks itself from expanding. Rayon, the juice flows outside the fiber, not getting absorbed so it doesn't expand but does settle upon itself thus shrinking as-per-say. So its hard to choke the coil with too much rayon but the side effect are these massive thick tails that can choke juice flow to the coil packing them into a chimney or well. Scraping away at least a third of the tails, holding the other side down so your not pulling threads from the coil, removing the bulk works to remove bulk so there is a more open flow to the coil and less wick to be packed into the chimney or well.

I bought a fair few fruit flavourings, and a few odd florals. But while I love pastries, good coffe, and creme brûlée, to eat and drink, don't know that menthol would do anything except make them weird. I did get bananas foster. We shall see. Im expecting I'll whip up ugh flavours to start, saw a yt video of a guy adding flavours to water, then swishing them around in his mouth. Like wine tasting. He used a spittoon frequently.
the water testing was a thing some years back, I tried it, but the flavors are so weak that no way to really tell how it will taste when vaping, so to me it's just a waste of flavoring.

Jup, there are a lot of things I like to eat that I can't deal with vaping. And I don't like to eat honeydew, but tried a juice with it one time and it was good. Go figure.

Which fruit flavorings did you get?

Well, herd uv a hoarse wit no name but never heerd tell uv a horse wit fetherz.
Just sayin.
Pegasus........duhhhhhh

Yeah I can think of a few, Chilli for one they have a lot of Savory flavors that don't sound good at all. I don't remember what banana flavor I got think TFA is was way strong and heard it was a tank cracker. Even using it at 1% would completely cover up all the others.

I've heard that OOO flavors are good. Never tried them though. Also I found out that the Russian Baker flavor that I use some do contain diacetyl but the amount is so small when you consider the amount you use, the highest on was Tiramisu which was .6% which if my calcs are right using it at 1% it would make it .006% so not a biggie most of the others are at around .08% and they said that removing it would completely change the flavor profile and very hard to do.
