I used to drink PBr in about 75. I liked Rainier when it was still made in Seattle but they didn't sell it in S. Dakota where I had gone to with the Railroad. They sold it in Montana and I called a store there and they said yeah they had it so we drove 200miles each way and I was going to stock up, he had one 6 pack. Couldn't believe it. Before I quit drinking I liked Bud Light the best. I thought that was a pretty good beer.
Good to see you again, Sir!
I started out with Schlitz beer (not the malt beverage)... that's what my grandpappy drank, so it was easy for me to snitch a couple when he wasn't lookin'! I was a teen at the time and working in his tire shop/mom-n-pop country gas station/convenience store during the summers... he kept a fridge full of beer in the shop. Occasionally I'd take a break and let him know I was gonna run into the store and grab a coke... he'd guffaw and tell me to just grab a beer and get back to work! LOL I never tried Rainier, we didn't have that in the South. As for Bud, I've never really been a fan... I was a Miller Lite guy for a while. Now, when I do buy beer (pretty rarely) it's Shiner Bock or whatever really dark beer sounds good at the time. I've found that I appreciate 1 good Stout over half a dozen light pilsners any day.
Hilarious story about the 400 mile round trip for a 6 pack though!!
I'm pretty sure I'd have had that guy on the phone lookin' for a coupla more cases!
Yeah the 350J is excellent I think the 350J V2 is even a little better can't wait to see how the 450 works.
Dang!! You're more up on that than I am! I didn't even know there was a V2... let alone a 450. I try to keep a decent handle on available tech, but I won't even pretend to know everything... there is still a lot out there and coming soon that I don't know anything about.
Well, after a day of 404 errors, finally back on ECF! {{{legs}}}!!!
HA! Tell me about it... I got in here a little yesterday morning, then couldn't get in at all for the rest of the day...
LEGZ! YER BAK! (404) YAY YOU!
(404)

LOLOLOLOL!!!! Yeah, Pabst Blue Ribbon... :shudders: So, there ya go
@kad2371... looks like we can send it ALL to Gary!
Legs I am probably going to need your expertise in the near future. A newbie I have been helping for the last few months mailed me an EVic VTC mini and a Smok TFV4 mini (I also have several subtank minis. She is determined I try temp control. She said she mailed several Ni premade coils for the subtank so I can dive in with them.
Problem is I am truly clueless on temp control and eventually will be wanting to build my own coils. So if you can manage to explain the theory behind this without getting too technical that would be much appreciated.
Ok, caught up on one thread! The 404's and an iPad with way too much stuff on it were NOT a good combination
.
Temp control.
@2legsshrt and
@Wolfenstark , perhaps it's time for y'all to start a little dialogue on this thread, hum? Cuz I'm clueless, too, an' the new, about to be released Billet Box is going to have TC. BB's
G'morning, Ladies!
Glad to see y'all are doing well this morning and that Myrany survived the floods!
As for TC: Nickel coils are fine for me if they are pre-made in coil heads... but they are a pain to wrap, mostly because the wire is so soft and it is very easy to cut the legs in the posts when installing them. Titanium (Grade 1 only) is much easier to work with, but it is a bit springy... I've not worked with SS wire yet, so no insight there. Other than that, if you can work VW, you can work TC... some mods allow you to set wattage AND temp, others allow you to only set temp and it handles everything with the wattage. In both cases, the mod monitors the temp and then regulates the wattage to maintain the set temperature. So basically you just install your preferred coil and wick, add juice, set temp and vape... I usually start out around 350°F and set the wattage for a quick ramp up. For example, the Invader Mini allows both temp and wattage setting. It is a 50W mod... I'll install a titanium coil, set temp at 350°F, wattage at 50W, and vape... then adjust the temp until everything tastes right.
That's the relatively short version of how I've done it, anyway...
