Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

[ilporcupine]

Man, there is so much stuff out there now, it would be a job keeping up with all of the players...

I'm going to try as calculate my juice consumption, so I'm posting it here.

... that would mean I do 60ml a week, or about 8.5ml a day.

So far, it seems I spend most of my time pouring unsustainable amounts of Wakonda into my dripper.

My pleasure, let me know if it works for yours. I also had some luck with 17track.net , but none of them seems to work 100 percent of the time.
I went thru a spurt of China orders awhile back.

I usually use 17track. But, it was acting funny for that last order. The couple of updates that were missing in 17track did show up on TrackingRadar. Thanks.

Welcome to the Front Porch!

Welp, done did it. Ordered 2 more mini Berserker's yesterday from FT. And a few glass replacements. Sheesh, one of the new ones spontaneously cracked, big time. It was fine when I put it together. But on the 2nd refill it looked like it was shot with a miniature bullet. A small spot smashed with spider webs radiating outward. Neither my wife or I have any recollection of dropping it or anything ... odd.

Sitting on the couch watching TV I have 3 labradoodles so there is always a dog nearby and I have shears, comb and a couple brushes on the coffee table so I can pick at the mats as I find them. I had my toptank mini/Provari laying on the bristles of a brush, bout a inch and a bit off the table. Table got bumped and it rolled off the brush then fell the inch, enough to break the glass...lovely and no vape band either even though I got piles of bands.
Now the spare glass sits in a fasttech cart waiting because every time I place a FT order within a few days after they put something cool into the "new arrivals" that I could have added. Something else I have noticed is that EPacket comes free depending on what and how big/bulky/heavy the stuff is. Manipulate your cart around, I've had my epacket vary from 9 bucks down to free but usually hovers around the couple/few bucks area. nifty.....

@Belhade Can I ask what that mod is in your pic above? The one that looks a little like my Norelco electric razor? :0 I have never seen that one.

I thought it was some sort of re-purposed rechargable drill

Hi Guys,
I haven't been around as much as I would like, so I'm just learning about the passing of Randall(Tex) and ElbertDee. Heartbroken to hear this!

As I celebrate 5 years of vaping and being completely smoke-free, I will keep both in my prayers and in my heart. I read their stories and corresponded with both through these very forums. They will be missed!

Yes, they are missed! You've been away for a looong time!

Congrats on your 5 year mark. Will we be seeing you around ECF some more or you just dropping by?

That's the Joyetech Elitar e-pipe. It's a fairly standard 75W device, comes with the Cubis tank which I didn't care for so I put on my mini Buddha 18mm tank.

What's different about it besides the shape?
Harder to lose, powerhouse, dual purpose as a hammer?
Errr, maybe I should look it up.

Nah, it's just shaped more or less like a pipe. That's all. I've already got several different Picos, a Provari, some Spinners. This was just something that looked different, and I've gotten several compliments on it.

Just a thought...

Under Description It says;
WARNING: Some tanks are made from polycarbonate and is not suitable for e-liquid use as some flavors might affect its structural integrity causing it to craze or crack. Please check and see if your tank is made from a suitable material (like glass, Pyrex, stainless steel, etc.) when using citrus, cinnamon, and tea flavors.

Which reminded me about your mini bullet mystery.

Franctically Googles "vape band", without the quotes.

Ahh! Now I understand why everyone keeps an extra pony tail holder on their tank

I thought it was a fad!

It took me a while to realize that vape bands had an actual beneficial purpose. I kind of hope that fidget spinners go the way of pet rocks, though.

For now...

I did put ponytail holders(color coordinated ones, ofc) on my tanks, until the next vape shop trip.
2 on the Prince's bubblely one.

The tanks haven't gotten much warmer then body temperature, yet.

Whew, this girl has to improvise!

I think of the vape bands strictly as rubber cushions to help decrease the possibility of tank breakage from knockdowns.

Exactly why I did that ^^

Rubber bands probably better but I'm fresh out of those ;-)

My pet rock just needs periodic watering and it does tricks with the fidget spinners.
I had not thought about using the vape bands as a guard against breaking the tank glass. I know I have a couple somewhere until I can find them I do have a few hair scunci.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

I lost mine. They want to a "rock" concert.
