Thanks for posting the video. I have an assortment of shrink wrap that I use for my racing drones so when I need to rewrap I am set. I also have a heat gun that works wonderfully for the shrink wrap. I'll just be careful not to overheat the batteries.


When I was young living in San Diego, I had some ammo that I didn't need and also didn't know any other shooters. I called the PD and an officer came by my house and picked up the ammo. I was going through a divorce and also moving on base and having ammo on base was a very big no no.
Just a note on calling the PD. Use the non emergency number NOT 911. They get a little upset when you call 911 for routine business. :)

I hope not. I tried dropping from 18 to 12, but it was too much. I went back to 18 when I caught myself constantly chain vaping. The drop from 24 to 18 was easy, tho, & that was just about 3-4 months after I started vaping. That second drop to 12 didn't go as well. I was still buying juice tho, so there wasn't a big choice in levels. It was 18 or 12. I can do it on my own now, tho. There.s only one juice I buy now, & I can get it in 0mg & add my own nic. Whoop!
When I started dropping the nic it was out of necessity. It kept becoming to strong for me. All the nic OD symptoms. I had to go to 24mg to get off the cigarettes, couldn't do it otherwise. Some people seem to naturally lose their tolerance to it.

I think I was happily at 12mg when I saw a post by Myrany saying she was working her way down to zero. I thought it was brilliant. Really wanted that "monkey off my back." I think I dropped to 6mg for a while and then started with DIY and dropped 1mg per batch I made until I was at zero. Every time, for three days, I vaped more but then went back to normal. Was off nic for about three months and it turns out I can't tolerate that, had physical problems. Back to around 3mg, sometimes 6mg (but that's a bit much) and wishing I had 24mg when I have to ride in the car while my dad is driving.

Since you are DIYing, how about mixing down 1mg at a time. As "high" as you are with the nic, you may not even notice it as long as you do it gradually. The most important thing is not to worry about it. If you don't tolerate lowering it, then you are where your body needs to be. I wasn't happy about going back to the nic but damn, I feel so much better with a bit of it.

You're welcome and thank you for the information. We can't even get the sheriff to respond when there were poachers on the property, not likely they'll show up to gather some old ammo. I'll just drop it off at their station.

Been under a lot of stress lately but even I wouldn't call 911 for that. :lol:

you're not the only one. dunno if he dropped lower than 12, or accidentally mixed higher than 12
Guessing he mixed his last higher recipe by mistake. Surprised he's not still awake. Take a look at the main general vaping page, wall of spam. Think it's a Chinese invasion but hard to tell.

Yup, that must be what he means.

I reported one of the spams. Just have to wait for a mod to wake up or something.

So, you're up too! Can't sleep? Well, good morning to you and Deb both!

Don't you love it? It's the Squatty Potty unicorn. Someone made a joke about it and I ran with it.

Mornin ladies. Was watching a movie, decided to look something up that I saw on a commercial, and got sidetracked since I still had all this pulled up. yeah, haven't seen those late night spam things in a long time, cuz it's been forever since I have been out on the forum. But they used to be fairly common in the middle of the night.

OMG! That is hilarious. :lol: Never heard of it, now I'll never be able to forget what I've seem. A lot like poo pourri. Brilliant!



Nothing like a little (wall) of spam to get everybody hyped up.

Don't ya love it? The Sqatty Potty and Poo-Pouri commercials, not the spam.

That's why I haven't seen it in so long! I almost never go anywhere but my subscribed threads anymore.

I haven't seen them in a long time either. We got a bunch or odd words banned after the last assault but that was a while ago. Not sure what they can ban out of those posts. Perhaps .com? Stuck the text into google and got:

400. That’s an error.

Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request. That’s all we know.

Even they don't want to translate it. :lol:

I do love it. The creativity cracks me up. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I slept badly last night. I should have turned the heater down. We have had rain since 1:00, and flood warnings out. I actually heard thunder during the night for the first time in years!

I don't need a SP, since I have a wall right in front of me to put my feet on. Need to do that more often. That commercial (mostly) takes the grossness out of the subject.

I single-coil my Orchids, never got the hang of using them as duals.

I got it setup dual but it was...messy.

Interestingly enough I cut the wires by tightening down screws more with 28 gauge than I do with 30. Did that 4 times with the orchid setup. It is such a mess setting up dual without a short on that one.

I may be pulling them loose in the rewicking process. I am thinking about ways to assure good, tight contact without cutting wires.

on some attys I have been known to get in there with a tiny pair of scissors and cut off one end of the cotton so I can yank it out the other side without distorting the coil.

Good point. I have a pair of bandage scissors. Have done that in the past, but not the last time.
