Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[MikeE3]

You can give her yours.

She only likes the nano size and the only nano I have is black and she doesn't like that color. I'm safe!

EHPro Kfun 2 Lite Nano here for $18.75 and free shipping, after applying 25% off discount code SUMMER15. http://www.rockymountainvapor.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=100_110&products_id=313

I wonder if they'll still have SUMMER15 as the discount code when January comes around.

The only thing I ever use for steeping is a chronometer.

Caution! - that link is for a black eHpro KFL nano. The picture shows a SS KFL and the description states "black". I contacted them and they confirmed the picture is wrong.

Worked for me - cause I wanted a black one. Very fast shipping (& its free). Got to me in PA from CO in just a couple days.

edit: I just ordered it Friday and the SUMMER15 code still worked. Arrived today.

Kayfuns have polycarb tanks????

The tank can be either 3 rings or 1. If 1, usually "PMMA". If 3, they can all be stainless or the center can be PMMA. There are class conversion kits so you have one glass ring. And FT has some other tank "designs" but I've not used any.

I'm not sure ... but I don't think so. Some kind of plastic for sure ... and it may be different depending if it's original or clone.

Knowing nothing about KFL tanks, I saw they called it black but just figured that was because of the color of the box or something. I'm preempting any comments about the pot or the kettle by mentioning them first.

 

[bigbells]

They seem to indicate that the clear tube that comes with the KFL is Pyrex and the 3 colored tubes that come with it are polycarbonate, but since they got one thing wrong maybe they're wrong about that too.

This is all just too complicated for me.
Not sure whether I would have a tank or a barbie doll to dress up?

Now how do I want to dress her today?

 

[DavidOck]

Easy, have several, dressed differently. I use different color center rings on mine, makes it easy to track which has which flavor

 

[Robert Cromwell]

I just put little labels on mine that says what is in it.
little ones with cello tape over them. They last a couple of months or till I change them.

Will you be needing a vacation from the cold by April?

Come join us in Florida for blue skies and fun in the sun!

There is a group of porchers and other vapers who are gathering for a week in April 2016 in Bradenton, Florida, near Anna Maria Island. The more the merrier We have a house reserved that sleeps twenty. The spacious home is on a small lake and has a 3000 square foot back porch with a Tiki Hut and a pool. http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p3519987?flspusage=fl We also have a boat for excursions, designed to carry up to ten people at a time, and are planning fishing trips in the Gulf, Bays, Manatee River, runabouts, and ventures under the Skyway Bridge on Tampa Bay.

There are twelve people, so far, who are fully committed and have paid. The cost for the house is estimated at $181.19 per person for the entire week if sixteen people show. There are four or five other people who are considering joining our adventure. Some people are flying in and a few are making the drive. For more information please come to The Odyssey thread https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/f...e-planning-discussion-phase-ii.689261/page-29 or PM me anytime.

We will be planning and coordinating specific activities soon. http://sarasota.welcomeguide-map.com/default.aspx?redirect=/businessDirectory/businessDirectory.aspx?categoryID=1740

South of Tampa-St. Pete, Bradenton is just a few miles from Sarasota and our house is located a short distance to the bridge to the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island.http://www.bradentongulfislands.com/explore/anna-maria-island/

We are all looking forward to some quality face to face time, sharing stories and recipes and a drink or three or four. Won't you join us? We want to see you there.

@disallowedword Well you probably already know what I think is the best mod out there. The SXmini M class. Very accurate nickel and titanium modes, manual TCR adjustment, temperature compensate. It is really amazing. You have the ability to use virtually any wire in production and most on TC although I've heard SS is not a real accurate wire for that. The biggest problem with it is the finish but put a YiHi sleeve on it right away and that is solved. Not the finish it will probably still turn to crap. The ML is supposedly got the finish fixed but I would be skeptical but the best chip on the market for the money. The DNA200 is even more advanced but if you watch the review by PBusardo 3 parts and counting. You can adjust everything but super complex unless you are a computer geek. I fell asleep halfway through part 2. Oh and some of the battery caps on the SX's are a PIA

@2legsshrt Thanks buddy! Im going to take the plunge soon, and I appreciate any and all input from you. I been in vape heaven with those flavors you showed me, and my better half is still grabbing for that chocolate truffle you sent to me!

I wish that new Provari had the SX350L chip in it, It is fantastic looking. Plus the quality Provape puts in their stuff I'll bet it would be another that would last for ever. True you don't need TC but they will also work just like the Provari. I see the firmware is upgradable in it so maybe they have something in the works.

On google I’m seeing the SX350j chip (onboard) for 60.00 - 79.00, and a whole lot of ads for SX350 (no letter designation) which are going to possibly mislead someone into buying the wrong chip?
If I could a good chip/board for under 80.00 Im thinking I could maybe just buy a mod kit and assemble it myself for around 120.00.
An old buddy I grew up with stopped by the house the other day. We both were Camel smokers since we were kids.
I pulled out the istick 100w w/STM and took a big hit, and he smiled and reached in his pocket and pulled out a small mod with a disposable tank and handed it to me.
I put one of those little Kanger mini pro tank II's on his mod and handed it back to him, he likes that little tank! Sent him home with some DIY ejuice too.
So I’m a little more motivated now to find something good for him so he can quit the Camels for good!
If this technology is ever perfected, and becomes more affordable, it wont be hard at all for somebody to just set the cigarettes down and start vaping.

I really am tempted to get a Youde Goblin Mini. However the screw filling will prevent me from getting it.

That little filling hole is one of the things I like about the KF we just got last week (wife stole it). Just stick a 1mm syringe needle in there and fill it up, or remove what’s left of the last ejuice.
After my initial accident while learning to wick the KF, it hasn’t seeped a drop since. These devices all have there little quirks, we just learn to use them, and pretty soon we don't want anything else cause they work flawlessly, lol.

Wish I hadn’t missed the discussion. Since they put me back to "light duty work" the hours have increased, lol.

The fiddly I am speaking of is the up to 40 pieces of the atty. O rings everywhere, etc. Itty bitty screw to refill thru etc... I would need a whole bag full of those screws btw.
Once you get the T3 coil rebuilding down it is fast an easy and only takes a moment to change the wick/coil.
2 of my T3's have been in constant use for over 6 months with 2-3 tanks per day vaped in each of them. No seals or anything bad yet. And even if you add all the possible separate parts including the coil parts it is only 9 parts.

The Kayfun V4 is way over engineered and has a gazillion pieces. The KFL-Lites are not fiddly at all. Even Janet now prefers them over her past clear's, vivi novas, Nauty's and GS-airs.

You guys are over-thinking it. I took my first one all the way apart and put it back together just because I wanted to see all the parts. on normal use:
refilling =
tighten the bottom - take off the top and fill it up - put top back on and loosen the bottom
re-wicking =
take off the bottom at the ring with the holes. lift out
take off the baffle-ring
rebuild
put on baffle-ring
put the bottom back on
vape.

no need to even worry about more than 4 pieces at most. If I have a needle bottle, I take off the small chimney - if not, I take off the piece below it.

Kayfuns have polycarb tanks????

And metal And glass. What ever you prefer to use, you can use. I have 3 kits. One of them has a poly-tank that looks like steam-punk glass.

 

[Kenna]

They come with two center sections you can chose from. You can use the metal one, which gives you a totally metal look, or you can choose the clear one so you can see how much juice is left in the tank. Some come with 2 clear center sections. One is taller than the other, & lets you take out all the metal sections & have the whole thing clear. It's called an M tank. You can buy quartz sections online if you have a problem with poly.

@garyoa1 Happy Birthday!
Was catching up some paperwork and when I wrote the date I remembered: When I first saw your signature I busted up laughing and went right to your profile and read about when you quit smoking, noticed your B-day there hope you had a great day!

 

[Kenna]

That's a clever way to steep. I don't steep ours since we went to fruits. Those don't need steeping.

I usually use custards. I made a pecan pie today to try the recipe for the first time, so I decided to steep it & let it set a few days. I also did CLR & a Gentleman's Reseve clones for the first time earlier in the week. They are going to sit for at least a couple of weeks. I'll pull them out to smell & shake some, but I'm really wanting them to work out so I'm trying not to sniff them every 10 minutes. If using the wood flavorings doesn't get me what I want I'll go the bourbon soaked oak chips route. There is a company near me that makes the little wood casks from used oak aging barrels. They make them for wine or other homebrewers.

I stopped smoking immediately with my first decent set up. A little ego battery & disposable tank. I'd tried a cigalike which didn't phase me a bit. But as soon as I tried the ego, I was done with smoking. That was 14 1/2 months ago. People are doing it everyday. Right device, right juice & BINGO!

I fill my Kayfuns straight out of a juice bottle. I can't do it with the bottles with the round tip on them tho. I have to use the straight, skinny tips. They seat right down against the hole & fill it right up. You can tell if it's not seated right, juice will fill up the fill pot & you can see it. But just wiggle the bottle tip a little & you can feel it seat into the port. I never remove the last bit of juice. Just open it, & rinse it out, dry it, put it back together & refill & then only if I'm changing juices. I have enough Kayfuns now that I don't have to do that anymore. I always have several wicked & ready to go when I need to clean, dry burn, & rewick one I've been using. I usually have 2 or 3 flavors going at once.

Can we get a pic of that tank? Steampunk could be cool.

She only likes the nano size and the only nano I have is black and she doesn't like that color. I'm safe!

Did it have all those colored tanks with it? I wish they had an option for all clear ones. I'm not crazy about the colored ones.

I started with a some cheap thing that looked like a real cigarette, then saw the joyetech 510's online. Quit smoking, then a month later I quit vaping, went about three yrs. One night I was drinking with friends and started smoking again, because there was no way I was gonna go back to feeding batteries through a battery charger nonstop, lol.
Glad I came back, I ordered mods and tanks for Wife and myself and quit smoking the day they arrived!

My needle tips and practically every other bottle I could scrounge are full of DIY experiments that I might not want in my tanks, lol. Thanks for the tips, maybe when I get more organized life will be better!
