Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[2legsshrt]

Hey Gary if your here do you think it would be ok to use 6 batteries that I have strictly for my RX200 which you are supposed to be kept matched up. They have been through probably 2 or 3 charge cycles. I don't use it very much and use those 6 on 2 new mods I'm going to get that take 2 batteries and match them up in pairs instead of 3 and use them. They were new LG HG2's when I first used them on the RX200 so they are hardly broken in. Or anyone else that might know.

Don't recognize me?? Wow, I thought everyone ( or most ) know who the crazy AXIOM_1 is ..... No matter, thanks for the nice welcome .... Yes, I have a glass of wine in hand and my mod glued to my body ( as usual ) and will be paying attention to this thread

Well just don't drink from your mod and glue the glass to your body

 

[AXIOM_1]

Why not? Many of us have...

Warm welcome to our lil' corner of da cyberverse! Just remember AXIOM_1: Don't count da cigs ya puphph, just da ones ya don't.

I never count the ones I puff or don't puff cause I gave up ciggs a very long time ago, even b4 I found vaping and so it has been a very long time since I have ever craved tobacco from ciggs.... Been vaping for a few years now in order to help me get off of chewing tobacco..... I used chewing tobacco to help get off of a 40 year addiction to smoking but then I found myself addicted to chewing tobacco ( go figure )...... So, I started vaping in order to help me get off of the chewing tobacco..... In case you can't tell, I have a rather large addictive personality lol .... Haven't been on the forum as often as I used to because I have been working my a*s off on my farm and just haven't had the time or the energy to get on here as often as I used to. But, I will try to get on here more often and push the buttons of people like I usually do .

I been there you can't possibly have a more addictive personality then me. I even tried smoking pot to quit cigarettes. That didn't work but I got pretty messed up. That was about 25 years ago. Back when the men were men and the sheep were scared.

 

[2legsshrt]

Or that's what we used to say about the people in the town I lived in in S Dakota, Black Hills. Huge town of 1500.

 

[2legsshrt]

And 95% of the men worked for the Railroad.

lol ..Yeah I smoked a few "bails" of pot in my day as well .... But, now days, since I am a semi-professional at wine making, i simply stick to my wine for any type of euphoria .....

 

[AXIOM_1]

Welcome to the porch AXIOM_1 ... always nice to have new people find a comfy rocker and join us. Say ... where in PA are you. My wife (Janet H) and I are in SE PA about 40 miles from center city Philly.

I am on the other side of the State from you .. I am in Western PA about 30 miles from the border of Ohio.

 

[2legsshrt]

make your own wine and you DIY too right?

 

[AXIOM_1]

Get comfy and tell us about yourself! The purple recliner is mine though hehehe
Here we need to stick to vaping as much as we can, but the back porch is where we can talk about anything. Hope you join us there too. This is a fantastic group!!

Why can't I have the purple recliner ?? Will you share ?? No matter, I like the thread as well as many other threads here. ... I just haven't been here in awhile as I have been rather busy and all. Thanks for the great welcome to the thread

 

[Debadoo]

I don't understand why I can't use that word they have commercials on TV and Radio and Billboard of what vendor has the best buds.

it's not the word, it's the use of it referring to something we're not allowed to refer to on here. So you and ax may wanna edit the posts that talk about it before a mod does. Just a suggestion

They now require separate vaping zones from smoking zones so vapers are not subjected to 2nd hand smoke. Geez! Is it possible a gubment organization is doing something right.

kewl! At least they get it. Wish the US would.

Yeah I'm going to have to be faxing my DL in for proof of being 18 or 21 what ever it is plus hopefully MVS will get a license to sell in Wa state.

I aint faxin my dl to anyone.

Does FA make good fruit flavors?

Was gonna say I don't like their strawberry, but do like their mango but looks like ya got that covered. I am looking for a good strawberry. May try the Red whatever that Myrany suggested.

 

[AXIOM_1]

@AXIOM_1, welcome to the Porches! Make yourself comfortable and tell us all about yourself!

Thanks for the welcome!! Well, I am a rather BORING dude for sure and there is not much to say about myself, or at least anything that anyone would be interested in .... I am a high functioning Asperger/ADD dude, live on a farm way out in the woods, and just generally enjoy life, except I wished us humans lived a bit longer b4 croaking .... I love making wine as it is part science and part art.. I also like vaping ... Pretty short rundown about myself ..... so, tell me a bit about yourself?

 

[Debadoo]

Why can't I have the purple recliner ?? Will you share ??

If it's purple, it's mine lol Depends on who I'm sharing it with

But since this is a virtual porch we can all have the type/color we want

@AXIOM_1, welcome to the Porches! Make yourself comfortable and tell us all about yourself!

Thanks !! Nothing to tell about myself that would not bore everyone to tears .... I am a high functioning Asperger/ADD dude who operates a small farm .... I obviously like vaping, and I like this forum ( except for some of the egocentric moderators ). What about yourself??

 

[AXIOM_1]

ahh .. yes the ole "virtual" furniture ... But, now days, virtual is about as real as anything else since most folks spend a great deal of time on the internet. I live way out in the woods and so the internet is basically my social hub. But, you can have the purple one if desired .... I will lounge on whatever is left over

 

[Debadoo]

we can both have purple, I know which one is mine. Jup this is most of my social interaction as well

Although the House may be more aware of the pressure from business. Maybe.

Yep, she was definitely involved in both. Merlin is said to be better for tootlers, but I've no direct experience of either.

I hope so, and I hope they eat it over the whole thing.

They really came up with a good idea when they came up with the STM I still have a gallon zip lock bag full of extra parts. I haven't even had to change an O ring. About half of mine came with the old style RBA section but I replaced them all. Think I might get a couple extra just to be on the safe side if worse comes to worse I have the old ones. They could be a PITA sometimes I like the new ones better. I have broke a couple tubes and lost one screw. Drop those on the carpet forget about it.

You do know zip locks are now a tobacco product, right? Major thorn in my side.

My trick for finding tiny screws on the carpet
SE 15Lb Magnet Pick-up Tool -- TWO PACK - - Amazon.com
Bought it originally for dropped pins and needles. Works great for ecig parts though

So cool. Please let me know when they come out with the 100 lbs version, I can have so much fun with El Whacko's new tibia plate and screws. Actually, those things are priceless.

Oh...so clnire, you, englishmick, and DebiK all rebuild (or did anyway) Protank coils! I'll have to tell my neighbor. He'll get a kick out of it.

And by the way...I still haven't responded to your post way back on p. 614 about Oscar, your wanting to visit Alaska someday, etc., etc. Bet you thought I hadn't read it, huh? I did, and planned to respond! But this hampster is tired! Probably like the 1 in the YT video. By the way, Ellen had that same video on her show last week, in her Laugh for a Minute segment or something like that.

@DebiK - I also used to roll my own smokes...with the pipe tobacco a local smoke shop sold. My little smoker's cough was gone in 2 weeks after starting to smoke those! They also had the big machines there for a few years that would roll a carton for you in about 15 minutes. Ours were more expensive though down here...about $26/carton. They're what I was smoking when I switched to vaping!

I can see your progression in vaping, and understand why you'd be involved in rebuilding. It's because of the hardware you use on a daily basis now. But, I'm perfectly happy with my Innokin 16D clearos, various Protank versions, some Aerotank Minis, Evod Mega, etc. That's why I wondered if anyone rebuilds just for taste testing. If I were regularly using what you and many others do...I'd have probably been into it long ago myself. I just don't know. May have to think about it some more, if even to rebuild the Protank and Evod coils in the future. But, wire and the cotton will readily be available even IF all the FDA garbage goes through, since it's also used for so many other things. Right? At least that's what most on other forums seem to think.

You are not obligated to reply to every post. It often moves too fast to do so. Just know I worship the ground you walk on for rescuing those two. Yeah, I humbly, but proudly, admit there are are a few things more important than vaping.

I can never watch that video just once. And I lmao everytime I watch it!

I understand. I keep trying to count the revolutions that poor hamster hung on but I'm laughing too hard by the end to get an accurate count. He does get bonus points for tenacity though.

I started out with the usual cigalike which I hated h blew off vaping for a few months. Then did some YT & web research & got a couple of ego setups & discovered flavors. I moved on to MVP 2.0's & the 2 sizes of Nautilus tanks. Then a wondeful woman I met on ECF pif'd a Hana Modz DNA 30 & a matching Kafun Lite Plus v2 to me. I sat on the Kayfun for a couple of months but juice & coils for the Nauti's were costing more than I wanted to spend. I'm on a disability income & try to save where I can which is one reason I finally decided I had to find a way to quit smoking. 63.00 a carton when I quit. I finally felt so guilty letting that Kayfun sit there just because I was afraid to try making coils. I liked my Nautilus tanks just fine. I even said I saw no reason to build my own coils. I have this anxiety thing that popped up after a really bad illness about 5 years agon & I fight it as much ad possible. Coil building is not something I would have been afraid to attempt before the illness & I felt that it was silly & letting fear win if I didn't challenge myself to push past it & just do it. So I reasearched, studied up & with the encouragement of everyone here I did it one Sunday night. That was a bigger deal than anyone knew. I recovered a lot of myself that night. But that Kayfun that was given to me broke the cost barrier for me. I diy my own juice now, too. All of it frees up $ so I can stock up my vape stash & have devices that I don't have to worry about replacing down the road. It's all repairable. I do have some that aren't, but the majority is, & have lifetime warrantees. All of my progress in vaping has been so that I'd be prepared for this vapocolypse.

Kenna, thank you for sharing that. Started with the cigalikes also.I failed but it was promising enough that I tried again, and failed again, then found something outrageously priced but worked. Years later, but I found it.

Several moths later I found ECF, couple months later I joined, man what a help the people here were. Like Myrany, I was soon hammered, and scared mindless, by the threat of the FDA. I owe the people here a huge debt of gratitude.

My machine is a Singer Featherweight 221. No electronics but it does have a light & motor! [emoji1]

That's the one I will inherit. I can wait decades for it. Great machine and the one I learned to sew on. Or was is the 225? Black case...

I don't like building coils. Blasphemy, I know! But I can, and I do. As infrequently as possible...

I dread doing it too. I can and have, but put it off forever. However, I have tons of them just waiting for the inspiration... Bloody FDA.

Nice abode! Can I move in? Well, just a thought

You can and you have. Welcome to the porch! I probably can't catch all the way up tonight so just let me say, about the purple rocker; Axiom meet frying pan, frying pan meet Axiom.

 

[LittleBird]

Thoughts, please .

I'm looking on dhgate for the "new" Nauti BVC coils. They must be authentic Aspire coils, and they must be the new ones cuz the wick holes are bigger. Anyway, there are lots of them, ranging in price from $1 each to $1.80 each. The ones that are more expensive say "authentic," while the lower cost coils don't (though they say "Aspire."). I don't want to buy several hundred coils only to discover they aren't authentic. Needless to say, I'm nervous: I usually purchase vape gear from sources I know.

What say you all?

ETA: To avoid confusion, the coils are for the Kabuki. I do build, but the Kabuki, which I love, takes Nauti coils.

My suggestion would be to try a rebuildable atomizer. A coil will last you a month or two, maybe longer if you dry burn without overheating it. You can get by with replacing a wick every 2 or 3 days during a juice refill or daily if you prefer. A $7 roll of wire can last you a couple of years. Cotton and Rayon are dirt cheap.

Kayfun 3.1 or Kayfun Lite Plus is a good starter RBA and one that many of us use as our main vape all the time. I like the 3.1 because it has an external fill port on the side of the coil deck.

I got away from tanks that used factory coils about 3 years ago when Kanger and Nautilus coils were dying daily. Most were failing with open coils due to NR soldered legs coming apart.
