Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[2legsshrt]

Yes it should. Anywhere and everywhere.

I've been PMing Legs about the Wismec reuleaux dna 200 that I got 2 hours ago; might as well go public!

I'm enjoying the heck out of it. It hits my inner geek! I imagine it might frustrate a lot of people, though, because things don't work the way they're sposta until you upload the particulars to the device. On the plus side, it was much easier to start programming my Reuleaux than it was to program my quad copters, and the software hasn't yet thrown anything at me that I couldn't figure out.

Currently very much enjoying using my SS 304 coil in TC mode, with the proper parameters for the particular coil uploaded into the Reuleaux.

The Reuleaux CAN be used without connecting to Escribe and to Steam Engine, but then it only works the way my other devices have worked with the same coil: at a false temperature setting.

But, with the proper resistance change coefficient uploaded to the device, I'm using 450 degrees F and 20 watts, and getting a really nice vape.

In power mode there would be no need to do any programming, by the way.

I'm guessing that the Wismec Reuleaux RA 200 that should be here tomorrow, and which was $56 instead of the approximately $130 that I paid for the Wismec Reuleaux dna 200, will be just as good, perhaps even a little better if it has wire profiles already installed.

Nevertheless, the mad scientist in me is thrilled and I have no regrets.

Yes, I know there are those who will think "what's the point?". As I've said many times, the concept of temperature control appeals to me completely and I'm willing to deal with it being a little more complicated. The software does function really well and hasn't yet shown any glitchiness. Idiosyncracies, yes, but glitchiness, no.

Comparing to building a single coil and wick, which isn't all that hard any more, dealing with the computer connectivity and software is easier, but your mileage may vary, or rather, I know some of you prefer to leave the car in the garage and exercise your legs instead.

You know what Dave PB uses his at 200w and lets the mod adjust to what it needs. Evidently that works also.

@Robert Cromwell WOW I was just looking at those Congrats.

OK! Coffee cup loaded and we're ready to go! Oh Keurig - how much I love you!

I also love my Keurig. However, I hate the cost of the K-Cups. I usually pick up the MembersMark from Sam's, it is as good as my taste can afford.

I see our very own @Robert Cromwell has won a TFV 4 in the big contest! Congratulations Robert!!

Congratulations Robert. I too like seeing one of our group win.

Vape mail arrived today! I received my Cyber Monday order. A Uwell Crown Sub-Ohm Tank Kit plus a couple boxes of the .15 Ni200 coils. I also received the Tobeco Chi You Megan Mechanical Mod. That now makes 3 Mechs that I have and I love each one of them.

OK, Bells, how about sharing where you get your raw beans and the method of roasting you use. Curious minds want to know.

Sweet Maria's Home Coffee Roasting He can give you the details.

Oh - yeah, they do cost a bit, but with that new refillable cartridge for the Keurig 2.0 - now you can put whatever coffee you want in it.

Awesome! Congratulations, Robert!

I think I saw someone post a link here last week that showed Kayfun M tanks or replacement tanks as part of the BF ads. I know I saw them somewhere & now can't find it anywhere. Any ideas?

 

[bigbells]

So the 26awg would work fine too at 5 wraps still only be .304

I like using 26 AWG regardless of wire composition. I have 26 gauge Kanthal, Titanium and SS 304. Nickel 200 too, but the nickel wire is destined for use as baling wire.

How is everyone ?

I was too lazy to read posts and will just assume all are good.

I’m having trouble posting and "Liking.” They must be working in the system. Just like to say…

Somebody posted today that they quit smoking and got a job as a firefighter after flunking the test as a smoker. He thanked ECF and got little love. I think both accomplishments are stupendous—not to mention his sentiments—and he deserves better. If you guys could go over and congratulate him, I’m sure it would mean a lot to him. He’s done a great job, acknowledged the help he’s gotten here and chosen/perused a not only his dream job but one that benefits his fellow citizens and may well save some of their lives. Thank you all so much! Please guys, give him the kudos he deserves.

Thank you, Tutu!

You know It's my honor, Sir Iffy. No appropriate emotes available. Body count crushes me every year. 9/11 does also. Then there's the unrelated Katrina. I blot out the numbers, I think, because they are too staggering. The next year they stagger me again. How can that many people die from a left field attack?

that was a wonderful graphic tutu!

Thank you. Not mine but an honor to be able to post it.

Yep ... Tutu ... I called Janet over to look at the graphic, as she doesn't come to the front porch regularly. I even 'stole' a copy of it. Thanks for posting.

We tease about swiping but I have no claim on it. I found those stats overwhelming, as I do every year, just like 9/11, and I hope you spread it far and wide. Please, do take it it and run with it. How many people care these days? I've seen people on ECF say that folks ought to get over the use of the swastika on vape gear since it was so long ago. It's not so long ago for them, their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren.


Vaping related: mu juice really sucks lately. Haven't changed anything, just the size of the bottle of flavoring I bought. Need to experiment with this and that before asking for help. It still sucks though.

Nice timing Wolf! I'll assume the same and hope it's the same.

Need to get some sleep so no hard feelings if the answer's not cheery.

Hope you and yours are well.

On vape gear? Don't see why. On the other hand most folks don't know it's history. Hitler took it from his church. It's been a religious symbol for hundreds (or more) of years. I remember history books with pics of teepees with it on them.

Looking good ... I like you choice.

I think I saw someone post a link here last week that showed Kayfun M tanks or replacement tanks as part of the BF ads. I know I saw them somewhere & now can't find it anywhere. Any ideas?

Just a couple days back I order some M-Tanks from Smoke Evolution @ $1.99 ea. Let me check if they're still in stock. Yep ... they're still listed in the clearance section ... they also have colored ones. I got some other 'spares' tanks and parts too. Shipping was $2.99

How is everyone ?

Hi Wolf ... good to see you checking in. Get any new gear lately ?

You are exactly right my friend. TC definately appeals to the inner geek in us. If the vaping gear you're using fills your needs then that's great. If you have an inner scientist than Temperature Control is fun. As soon as I have a few more bucks I'm going to get me something other than the Istick TC40W so I can also fiddle around with the software. I think something with the YiHi chip is for me. Remember that you can always just use it in the old fashioned modes of VV/VW.

I watched a review and what I got out of it is if you are going to get a DNA200 stay away from the new VT Box 200 it is junk.
