    @Territoo, my name is Teresa too. I grew up with the statue in your avatar sitting on my mother's dresser. But, I never got a chance to ask her, which St. Teresa is that?

    It's St. Therese of Lissieux. She's my patron saint.

    Hope they last you forever like they do for me! I checked my records last night to see when I put the last set in and it was 8-1!
    To me when you installed the coil isn't important, it's how many ml's of juice you ran through it.

    I thought about that right after posting because it used to bother me when others did it in the past,lol. I run only 2 tanks 6ml per day. Easy math here, I also run those 2 on identical mods that I swap out exactly same time daily.

    If my math is correct that's about 180 ml's per tank, if I'm right, that is great.

    Nice ProVari collection, shame you don't use it. :( Thank you for the photos!

    Not really a shame that I don't use any of the Provari stuff AFAIAC because their 1.1Ω lowest coil limit just didn't work for my DL style that wanted much lower sub ohm builds that they couldn't fire. The 'shame' as it does apply to me personally though was that I bought far too many of them and their endless expensive atty's and accessories before I ruled them out as proper gear for my uses. IOW, my first year at vaping I was trying to find what did work for me by buying and trying out a lot of different gear that most of turned out to not be the gear for my uses. I do my own homework, but that first year or so I scored a failing grade on the gear I bought. :rolleyes:

    It is. Hope I also mentioned that I only run unflavored, which helps. Nautilus would give me a few weeks and cartos would only give me 10 days towards the end, for comparison. They are the only other tanks I've ever used.

    Ditto fer many, if not most here.

    That sojourn was well worth da money and efforts. Da only downside was da all too many dry hits!!!

    Must say dat da eGos were amazing at da time. Use 'em for several years.

    Thanks for all the welcomes. I got my batteries in today so I can play with my new toy. It puts my old unit to shame with all the vape it can make.
    I've been keeping up with all the banning business. My state, Texas, so far has been quiet about any bans, other than raising the smoking age from 18 to 21. As far as the feds, who knows? Trump did mention it, but backtracked the next day.

    I assume you mean "per coil".

    It looks like I may get 120 ml throughput per coil (taking 1/3 of my consumption for the entire period) for the only coil of my three rigs that been replaced twice (so I have an interval - about 9 months) since I began keeping coil records. My other two active rigs have each had only a single replacement since I began keeping records in October 2018.

    The thing is, I only replace coils when they get clogged up by burnt juice, which only happens if I let the tank run dry. I can't recall having a coil fail under normal use since I went flavorless.

    I’m hoping that Texas will sit this out since they took a lump sum and aren’t getting payments from BT!! I’m another Terri in Texas!

    Dry hits were rare even in my first months, but have been all but non existent in my vaping ever since. I just had to learn how to recognize their subtle warning signs to avoid them. Over two years now vaping only mesh RDA's/RTA's that can be fire breathing dragons if not built right with no more than a couple of minor cases where I stopped the DL draw before they got ugly. But then I am not distracted when vaping like most folks are much of the time that still have a family, job, etc that can distract them on a moments notice.

    I got a letter in the mail today from the head of our local/regional health care system (almost all hospitals and clinics around here) telling me vaping is evil and dangerous, even just one puff, and to sign up for help quitting. Yeah, like all of the help I got from them quitting smoking.
    I'm coming up on my 6th vapeversary, maybe I'm wrong thinking that it's way way better than my 42 years of smoking.:-x:censored::-x
    Insurance companies & Drs used to send out quit smoking offers. I ignored every one of them. My Drs would ask periodically if I was still smoking h then laugh at the look I gave them. Then came the day that they asked & I told them the exact date I'd quit & how I did it. I got to laugh that day! I don't get anything about vaping, although that might change this year. I can't wait to make those phone calls! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

    New new mug from Mexico came today and is just what I had hoped it would be, a tank!
    Mmug6s.jpg

    It weighs just over 1.5 #'s, is 3/8" thick, holds 16 ounces of coffee and keeps it steaming hot to the last drop. When full of coffee it is a fairly heavy carry though.

    Hello room. Thought I'd drop in and say hi. I'm 56 yo and been a vaper for 10 years with no intention of quitting. I used to spend a lot of time on this forum then life (aka work) got in the way. I'm now retired with lots of time.

    I use a Smok priv-x and a Procore tank. I just bought a Smok Mag 225 but I haven't been able to use it yet since I ordered the batteries from Amazon and they haven't came in yet. Hopefully tomorrow they'll be in. I mix my own juice.
    Welcome back, Territoo! Grab a sit down of your choice & hang out with us!

    There are several Texans here. @DancingHeretic is, too.

    Wouldn't happen to be ( :-x ) Adventist would it? They're nazis and that's not a term I take lightly.

    No - Sanford, Started out in South Dakota. They've generally been pretty good - better than the local one they bought out.
