Thanks for the tips. I will keep these in mind as I work with them.Congratulations, Kathy!
The Orchids from Vapor world have wonky bottom-fill screws. I exchanged them with some of my spares. It is a fairly universal screw, so you might do well to give up on the ones provided. I was afraid of messing up the base threads from trying to force them. I once had a frozen screw in a base, and ended up tossing the base.
Also, if the post screw is in too tight, don't mess up the screw-head trying to force it. I put some juice on top and in the hole, let it soak in, and used needle-nose pliers to get them to move.
Yep, Bells, a lot of people on the porches have three-year anniversaries coming up in February.
I am now a happy member of the Provarinati. Happiness is much better than pride.
Welcome JDC! You are on your way. We all started somewhere to get where we are today. The right equipment, nic, and flavors for YOU make all the difference. Any questions just ask. Someone here will have an answer (even if it's not correctHey everyone. I wanted to give this group a shout out and introduce myself, since most of these kids I work with call me an old fart
This is my 3rd time giving vaping a go. The 1st two tries were with carts and they did not give me the needed overall satisfaction. This time I bought a tank and sub ohm box to start with. Over the last three months, I've bought two packs of stinkies which is what I bought per day before. I've not smoked one stinky in almost a month now!
I do have a slight case of shinyitis. I got a LEMO2 last week, which I currently use and love. Then had to go and order a Hannya RDA because the price was so low! Got some coil building supplies on the way and I already have ejuice mixing knowledge from my last tries.
I am really, really trying hard this time around and I am totally vested in not smoking another stinky!

It sounds like you're doing great this time!Hey everyone. I wanted to give this group a shout out and introduce myself, since most of these kids I work with call me an old fart

Welcome to the Porches! Make yourself at home.
Just noticed the holiday sales are starting to roll in. ECF Suppliers' *Happy Holidays* Specials !
TY for posting about the screws. I thought it was me being an idiot that I cant get that screw out and topfill. It just spins and never unscrews. Doesn't leak though so I am not worrying too much about it.Congratulations, Kathy!

@3mg Meniere , your idea to use some juice and needle nose pliers was a charm!!!! Got those tight post screws to loosen enough to be able to use a screwdriver on them. You are the BEST!!! I never would have thought of that on my own. Thank you!! 
I have always subscribed to the theory of learning from others mistakes. Wish I would just practice the advice. I have made the mistake of dry burning a new coil and then doing something else and burning my fingers on the still hot coil.2.5mm id
Happy Vapeversary to you, Clnire!

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I feel good about this already. One cart I tried four years ago was horrible. The Vapor Zeus, a couple of years ago, was much better. The problem with it was staying in carts and refilling it. I wish I'd a tried a tank to start with, but live and learn!
Hopefully I will get all my new toys by this weekend and I can post my first coil build!

I say that too but then think, if I drop one then I'll only have 67 left...
I may need a few more to catch up, I only have 7 1/2.

not if he wants to live!
There you go....causin trouble again! hehehe Glad to hear that.
Welcome!! And wahoooooooooooo!!!!!!! on a month of no cigs!!! That's fantastic. And so great you gave it another shot. I keep hoping my sil, nephew and my dil's mom will keep trying. they've tried vaping a couple times, encountered problems and went straight back to cigs. So good on ya for sticking with it!! As others mentioned, for me, getting rid of the cravings meant going back to 24mg nic. Still there after 3.5 years but that's fine by me! Can't wait to celebrate YOUR vaping milestones with you!!! Hope you join us on the back porch too and we also have a google chat that someone is in at some point most every day! Tons of great folks here!!!Hey everyone.

I did that once, and my fingers aren't as calloused as Mike's. It burned, but not for long.

She speaks the truth also. We excel at spending other people's money.
Okay, I was exaggerating about the 67. Seems like it sometimes but probably less than 15 and only a couple that are new. You don't have 7.5, you have 7 plus parts!
But now that you've made me think about it some more, and mine aren't as durable as SS, I'm off to buy a couple more. JD, see what we mean about spending other people's money? - Status
