Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[Debadoo]

Get this; my husband is now the one begging to buy a new freezer. I wanted to wait five months to see if the house is still standing but he wants one today. Guess the vacuum sealer made an impression on him.

yay!!! Glad he's loving the vacuum sealer too That video was fantastic!

Can someone help me to understand why military personnel are exempt from CA's new age restrictions on tobacco and vape purchases? I know this amendment was a hard won "victory," but it seems just a bit disingenuous: What? Military personnel aren't worth saving? After all, Mr. Brown touted the "life saving measures" inherent in these new regs, and opined that they will significantly reduce exposure to "gateway drugs."

I wonder, more and more often, these days, whether law makers ever think about the messages they send when they pass (stupid) laws.

I'm sure it has to do with the "you're old enough to die for your country, but can't have a drink before you go" in this case, can't have a vape or a cig.

It's kind of funny in a way since a lot of military installations have expanded their no smoking policies to include parking lots, and various other open public areas. I have even heard of a few that claim the entire installation, but have not seen if enforced...

I winz I winz!! Whut did I winz??? hehehe too funny, was just coming here to tell you what he said about the Q. so here it is anyhow

Well I almost bought something else with a DNA board which also does TC accurately but with their track record of their boards I was a little leary. I was looking at the Lost Vapes Effusion Duo which is a neat idea, you can either use 2 18650's and it is a DNA133 or put the LiPo that is included and have a DNA200. I just don't know about them the 133's and the 75's are new I think they use the same board just scaled back some but they are new.

what exactly is battery sag?

When you press the fire button and watch the battery bar it's how much it moves. I watched Daniel with a dual SS coil very low resistance but when he fired it with a 75w device the battery bar went almost to 0 I think they were claptons also. Takes a lot of power to heat all that wire up. Not sure how much power he was using but it was set pretty high for them to work.

One thing about this SS the coils seem to work for a long time. Still haven't cleaned my first one which I installed on 5/21 still working great tasting great but I think I might do it today cause I used a different wicking method on it and it seems to be using a lot of juice but it is my favorite flavor so I tend to use it more.

oh ok. Dug out a regulated mod for the merlin. it's a .8 SS coil, so not real low, but no sag.

@MikeE3, I'm using a Kabuki clone that I got as part of a Classy deal. Now, I know what everyone means by how great the Kabuki is.

Problem is, how the **** do you get it apart to refill it? I got it open to fill. Then I had a hard time getting it back together. Now, it's empty and I can't get it open to refill. Suction, I guess.

Plus, even once I might eventually get it off to refill, having to work so hard to get it open and closed can't be good for the glass tank.

Any suggestions?

Dancing, does the clone have adjustable airflow that takes an Allen wrench to adjust it? The authentics do, and when the tank is tight (which happens. A lot.), I insert the Allen wrench and use it as leverage to unscrew the tank. If you change the o rings to silicone ones, it doesn't seem to get stuck.

ETA: to close the tank, screw it counterclockwise until you feel it catch. Then, proceed to screw it on clockwise. Again, that works for the authentic. Hopefully, it'll also work for the clone.

I got a set of ceramic tweezers coming that double as an opener for attys. Made by Tobeco so probably will break the first time I try it.

 

[radeljack]

I use the allen wrench on the kabuki also, I have never changed the rings on mine I just put a little juice around them and it is much easier. I ordered a clone a week or so ago but have yet to try it, into the doomsday box it went.

Thank you! Worked a treat!

I've got a pair of those. I should have gotten two, one for each hand. After all, you're always trying to get 2 things apart, right?

I asked the person I got it from. This is the clone they bought (and that I have). It works great.

Now, I have ANOTHER kind of coils to stock up on!

 

[DancingHeretik]

Do they make an rba for the Kabuki, just in case?

Oh, lovely, 'nother 'itch' to scratch...

BTW, been kinda holdin' out on ya'll. Have recently had 'several'...

, primarily FDA initiated! I have yet to open and test da two DripBox PVs. Dat's not even countin' replacement components.

So many 'sheep' and too lil' time...

No they don't make an RBA head for the Kabuki. But this 'rebuildable' Nauty head is available. It's gotten mixed reviews ... some like ... some don't. So me ... I just ordered 2 of 'em today to try for myself.

VVTF KABUKI RBA DECK NAUTILUS RBA DECK V2 REBUILDABLE COILS HEADS ATTY

See you already got help w/ the Kabuki. It's a common problem w/ the Kabuki. I have 2 w/ the original o-rings ... one is easy peasy to take apart ... the other nope. I change to the OMG Silicone o-rings and now one is almost loose and the tight one is still dang snug. I use those tweezer/plier things on that one. Janet said I should get another pair too just for opening the Kabuki.

Please, let me know how you like the Kabuki RBA decks.

Supposedly you can rebuild Nautilus heads. But, I hear it's not the easiest to do.

What are OMG Silicone o-rings? I know silicone. I know o-rings. But, OMG (other than Oh, my God! of course)?

I never attempted the Nauty heads. The Kanger Subtank heads weren't too bad to rebuild. But then they've got a nice RBA head so it doesn't make sense to rebuild 'em.

OMG ... yep you got it right ... the Zenphiles nicknamed them 'cause they solve the issue you were having. Plus they come in colors.

Well I just cleaned and rewicked my SS316L coil and I'm having second thoughts about this stuff. I set my SX to 15W and dryburned it everything turned to ash brushed it off with a soft brush rewicked it and it's just like a new coil. The wick hadn't even changed color running it at 420-425F still had the same resistance as new. As long as I'm using the SX it's great. With the ML it is really stable with the M's kinda jumps around I'm sure the Q will be excellent.

Dat was one of my earlier orders. Yet to try 'em, so no help here (as usual).

Janet said I should get another pair too just for opening the Kabuki.

... and...?

 

[2legsshrt]

Damn I hope you got steady hands you know how small that build deck is. Probably have to wrap a 1 or 1.5mm coil then try to wick it. Looks like a lady dog to me.
