MFS is having a DIY sale. Code: DIYVAPE for 20% off.

Ta for the ohms calculator. That'll help. There's a shop in another state, and he's suggesting an I stick and nautilus mini combo. Says the regulated machines are safe to learn on, and I can always call them for help. I ordered some new flavours from Mt Baker, saw that suggestion too, thanks, and they suggested a cool fire IV with I sub tank, also saying its a good one to start vw on. So I'll compare prices, and just go for it. I can't see myself getting into diy, so I'll just need to keep extra atomizers and I've got enough liquid. Of course, I want to try a lot of flavors. It's just remembering to allow for shipping time. Deb, is that fast tech an Aussie site? I haven't seen them online anywhere. I'll go have a look and write down those components. Is it sold as a kit or buy it separately? Doesn't matter, as long as it's a one stop. Thanks for putting that together for me. It'll be so nice to quit worrying about hardware and just shop for flavours! Yay.

The Aussie gentleman is saying the same devices we've been saying. I'm so relieved you've found someone there to work with you! Don't forget your backup's, too. Both of those devices have permanent (onboard) batteries, so when the battery gets low you won't have anything to vape until it's charged, which takes quite a bit of time. I suggest you get one of both mods that he mentioned & 2 of the Nautilus tanks, so you can use a flavor in each to give yourself some variety. Congratulations!

That is cool! Very organized & satisfying to look at! Yay!

I think it was Iffy that put that together for you. Stuff will get here from there in many times, 10 days, but can take 3 weeks or so.

Mike put that list together several pages back. Iffy quoted & agreed with it.
It's amazing how little of the posts regarding this are being read.

Put that on a carousel and you could just spin and vape - multi-flavored vaping for your pleasure...

Great idea! And room for a bottle of the juice in each mod!

 

[Kenna]

Since I've been frequenting the Front Porch I've spent way more dollars on vape stuff. I've been looking for another source for juice. After ordering 200ml from my regular juice vendor, someone mentioned ITC Vapes. I went there and ordered 120ml each of Silver RY4 and Turkish Blend. So, I have 440ml of juice somewhere in USPS trucks!

In another thread, someone talked about battery shrink wraps. I had one flat top 18650 that got nicked coming out of my LUC 4 charger, so I needed some of those. While I was shopping for battery wraps I discovered some VCT4's that I needed, along with a new coil wrap mandrel that had the 2.5mm step I've been wanting.

In yet another thread people were raving about the Orchid V4 and the Lemo Drop, so I pulled the trigger on those two.

A month or so ago people were posting in the Deals and Steals thread about the Innokin MVP 3.0 Pro for $34.97 w/ free shipping, so I just had to have one at that price. Not long before that I found a discussion on the Smok Koopor Plus 200W. Ended up buying that locally at Stormy's Vapor Cellar.

I need to put my CC in the freezer for a while! It's all good, though!

Nope, you see my waiting orchids and juice bottles behind it. Happy that way. But if that is your style-- go for it.

I have a basement workshop with a locked outside entrance, so I could take the 100mg/ml down there and feel good about it. I wouldn't want it inside the house. My wife and I pick up a couple of nephews who are 7 and 11 after school and keep them until Mom gets off work. I wouldn't want one of them finding high nic juice and opening the top. The locked basement might be the ticket. I normally spend about $40/ month on juice orders, so I could save a lot.

I keep a bottle of Walmart VG around for those times when I order 90pg/10vg juices that need a little more VG in the mix. I'm happy with 80pg down to 60pg in my juices.

We have a Tractor Supply store in town. What about flavorings? Who's your better sources for those?

3mg listed good ones.
There's also Wizard Labs, which I like to get small sample sizes of flavorings i haven't used before for 1.50 to try out before I commit to a larger size bottle.
I end up getting most of mine from Bull City Vapor because they carry the brands I like, in sizes I like, most are usually in stock, the prices are usually a bit better, there are good descriptions & user reviews on the flavors so can compare what they are supposed to taste like as opposed to what different people actually taste. I do comparison shop between them, ECX, & Wizard for prices & flavor descriptions. Whichever one has the most of my order in stock at the right size & price gets the order. Usually Bull City.

Somehow I missed this post earlier but still covered a lot of it. Even with 100mg nic, I didn't know I'd gotten some on a syringe......and I stuck the top of the syringe in my mouth. (didn't have anywhere to lay it down) I immediately knew what had happened, but just took it out (found a place to lay it down) rinsed my mouth out with water, and I was fine, no affect at all. I'm not saying don't be careful with it, yeah ya need to be........but it's not gonna kill ya if ya get some on ya. lol Get that, keep it in the basement...... and you can make what 33 liters of juice from 40.00 or 50.00 in nic?

And might want to get a small freezer to store it in so you can break it down into smaller bottles. A liter will last you years & freezing will keep it more stable from oxidizing or degrading over time. Everytime you ezpose the nic to air it will oxidize more/faster. All that does is make it darker & eventually weaker. So freeze it!.

How I do battery wraps... I use the transparent wrap. I put a label (or you could write) on the batteries with the date purchased and from where. That keeps the label from being pulled off or the ink from being rubbed off. I put the transparent right over the existing wrap. For tight battery compartments, it doesn't work as well, but for my VTC Mini and K-box minis, there is room.

You can also write, put colored dots on, or somehow mark batteries that are married under the wrap.

With the demise of some of my devices - I have resorted to one of my backup mechs - a Nano - so far it has torn two batt covers... aaarrrggghhhhhhhh

Edit: Oh, I can find no bur or anything causing it - just a tight batt sleeve...

I meant if it was on a turntable as Semi suggested. There would be room it set the juice that was in the tank on the turntable next to it. Just thinking out loud, but whatever.

I read it, just forgot who did it. I just knew I was being given credit for it, so was letting her know it wasn't me.

Hiya.......been wonderin about you. I think there is one, but dunno what it is. Someone probably will though. And you didn't put up links.....there's some things that ECF automatically turns into links. Some link to something like fast tech and some don't really link to nuthin.

He's talking about the insulative wrap that goes on the metal battery. If that gets nicked, it needs to be removed and replaced to protect you and your battery. You have to use heat to sort of shrink wrap it on there.

Yep. I buy mine at Fasttech. $1.18 Single 18650 Battery PVC Heat Shrink Tubing (Translucent) - 2m in length at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping They have a bunch of colors, which I have, but I prefer to use the transparent if it's a small nick.

oh I see, my mistake......thought you were talking about something like packing tape being transparent to just label a battery, that's what I do, and make a pull tab for any tight batteries. Don't have to worry bout that for the Reos though.
