Is that nickel the same nickel they use for TC though. THat is what is confusing the tar out of me.

Yes it is ... all wire has some resistance ... its just the nickel's is so low (something like 1/2Ω per foot) it basically adds no resistance for the legs of a NR_R_NR setup.

... their Key Lime...

Oooo, luv my VZ super concentrate Key Lime flav! Actually I got sum mo' on da way (16 drops per 30ml & six drops o' lemon joose)!


I totally agree! However, we are a family and families will have pointless squabbles (only pointless depending on who's side of the squabble you are on). I love my family on the porches and value all opinions.

Dat's da spirit!


Nickel is probably the most used (30g) but I also remember people using high grade $ilver wire.

FIFY...


Well, since it is being driven by the actions of a government agency - all my recent ecig related purchases should be tax deductible - Right? There has got to be a rule that covers this somewhere hidden deep in the IRS regs... :D

Only if ya meet da minimal % fer med expen$es! Otherwise... Oh wait, think I got a jellyfish ranch dat ya may be interested in...

Innokin has responded on their fb page to the deeming.....scroll down the page to read their letter....

Innokin Technology

I didn't read their FB page ... but saw something by them someplace else. It sounded more like the were getting ready to release a bunch of stuff before Aug and prepare to deal w/ the regs not fight them.

Innokin, Joyetech and maybe Kanger are the 3 I would expect to POSSIBLY have the bankroll to keep Something on the market through the PMTA process of the the major Chinese manufacturers.

On the US side Halo and Njoy would be my picks. That is assuming the FDA doesnt just slap down anything NJoy applies for out of spite for the original decision.

What I got from their letter was that they are releasing a lot of new products as soon as possible, but.....they're working with a legal team to see what is possible to do on their end. This deeming will impact China as well as us....they certainly don't want to lose the revenue.

I love all our Porchers, too. Your kindness, support and affection, so freely given, means the world to me. This is an extraordinary and, at times, magical place; I stand in awe.

I want to be clear that my earlier post was directed at no one, specifically, and all of us, generally. I believe with my whole heart that our strength comes from standing together, even when we disagree on finer points. This is who we are, at our very core. :wub:
So true! I am so grateful for everyone here.

I haven't been online a lot and have only been able to keep up on the front porch. If you have been paying attention to the news, you know there have been some rather severe storms and tornados here in Oklahoma. When the storms roll through the barometric pressure changes and it really plays havoc with my pain levels. So I have been spending time making juice and clearing out my wimp cellar and keeping it cleaned out. It has the tendency to seep water through the small stress lines on the floor. One of these days I will remember to seal the floor when we have a good stretch of clear weather.
Be safe, Diver! Ivm sorry you are having pain issues. It's no fun at all!

I just got over the last round of iv steroids & have the 2nd round in my infusion this Thursday. So...STEROID ALERT!!!.

I got home about 7 tonight. Got unpacked & everything unpacked & put away. Really going to miss those 3 clowns I was staying with, tho. I have a bed to myself tonight. [emoji20]

other than a roll of NR wire my vapocalypse prep is DONE. Including massive piles of spare parts for everything.

I will no doubt continue to resupply stuff as I use it until I can no longer get it but the worst of the damage to the budget is over.

Now I just gotta find out what kind of wire I need for NR in case my pre-welded wire supply ever runs out. LOL
I'm close to being done. I want to get amother liter or 2 of nic, & somemore small usb mods for out & about & travel stuff. More wire, I think I'm going to get a big spool of kanthal 28g from Temco. I need a few diy things, too.

I dropped over $100 at REOsmods tonight on spare parts for my 2 grands and the woodville. + a huge fastech order of driptips and various other spare parts, another mech mod and crapton of drippers + 2 more dripbox kits with spare coil/build decks + wire + the Halo Juice

Hey when the hubby gives me $300 to play with I can get a ton of prepping done ;)

Ummmmmmm......not to worry. See you guys around.......good luck and all that jazz. 'Buh bye.
Hope you stay here. Folks disagree, and sometimes things get said in the heat of the moment, but please stick around. Enjoy having you on this porch also!

Aannnddd another HexOhm in the mail! Whoop!
kewl!

but I also remember people using high grade silver wire.
would that be the SS316L that everyone seems to like for wattage or TC?

BTW Deb when THings in my life calm down and I get the right cutting disk for the dremmel I am going to try and convert one of the fasttech Derringers for bottom feed. Worse that happens is one becomes spare parts for the other if I botch it LOL
oh kewl! Good luck with that!

Definitely gonna get some of that at some point. I"ve been meaning to tell y'all and keep forgetting that I finally tweaked the Key lime I won in that contest when I got the double flav and we had 3 days of math y'all did for me to figure out how to get it from 70vg to 70pg. It's pretty good. It would be better to me if it were more tart, but the flavor is good!

Lost some quotes, Diver......glad y'all are safe, and sorry about the pain. I totally understand. Quoted sumpthin else that I don't remember. Ok update on kay to follow

Just got off the phone with Kay finally!!! Been trying to get hold of her for days. Poor things been through the ringer. She sounded great!! She wasn't in pain when we talked, she'd just gotten up from a deep sleep for about 4 hrs or so. She's been in pain, but wasn't when we talked. She's real fuzzy about what all has happened and when it happened.....but she was able to tell me that they gave her a tour of the rehab that is in the hospital where her surgery was done......and even showed her the room that would be hers...... took her back to her hospital room, and a few hours later came in and said they were releasing her to go home. She told em no, I'm supposed to go to the rehab...... they said newp, you're doing well enough to go home.

She went home......Chey had to go to work. Kay futzed around trying to get things arranged so she could move around, have everything she needed with her, etc......so then her leg and foot swelled up really bad......and Chey had to take her back to her doctor.......(who she now likes a lot by the way, this is the one she was gonna fire after her surgery was done with). He sent her to make sure she had no blood clots, she doesn't......and that was the second time she'd been checked within a few days, so that's great! Her recliner is set to when she lays it all the way back, her leg is elevated above her heart, so that's great! She's getting the in home therapy set up.....great again! And while she's not happy with the hospital just kickin her out.......she's glad to be home and a lot more comfortable there. So we'll see how the next few days go. She's also had so many friends and family there checking on her constantly so she feels so incredibly blessed to know she's completely surrounded by people who love her so much!!

Is provari big and profitable enough to survive this? Although, if I'm buying my tank and replacement coils from the uk, my source of supplies shouldn't be at risk, as long as they aren't made in the USA. Well, it's all a bit of a mess, isn't it? They really are moving backwards. Hope someone, maybe the medical establishment, will shine some light on it.
Having a good time with my I stick, big improvement over the vaporfi. Don't miss sub ohm at all, thought I might.
Very glad I found the porches, it was a very solitary experience before I did. And everyone has been welcoming, patient, and so helpful. Have yet to see anyone else vaping here.
Kids coming this weekend, don't see them often enough, and next week I start designing my spot, wicker, an overload of tropical plants, so it feels like rainforest, and whatever artwork I get inspired to do.
Turning down commissions in favour of just enjoying.
