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.

Can you hold the screw with a pair of needlenose pliers & spin the atty while pulling them apart lightly? You'd have to be really careful with it, but if it's the screw that's the problem that might get it out & you can try a new screw, or grub screw.

Not enough room to even get in there with a pair of tweezers. It is countersunk deep.

Can you push on it from the top of the base while using the screwdriver? I find that a small flatblade screwdriver works better.

I use a flat screwdriver for stuck philips head screws to avoid stripping the head.

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!

What did you get again. What kind of tank and mod. You probably already said but as you will find out I'm terrible at going back through all the posts.

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

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!

Welcome to the Front Porch. Sounds like you finally got a handle on it. Pull up a chair, relax and let us help if needed.

Well the old vixen vapers closeout on the provari. As I said before, they overcharged me $5 on the extended base. And... they gave it back. So... really really good company. They got my vote!

I was impressed too ... the morning after the sale they called me all appologetic that they only had Polished SS in inventory even though I ordered a Satin finish. Left a voice msg on my phone, that they would hold a Polished one for me if that was OK instead and I should call them back. I thought they handled the goof-up well (and yes I accepted the Polished SS, Janet just put a wrap on it anyway).

I think I might just be getting the fastest Fastech shipping I have seen yet. It shipped on the 7th and it has cleared customs in the US and expected for delivery Saturday. I haven't seen it go that quick in awhile.

Glad you got your money back, thought you might. I've only ordered from them once but but there are long term vapers on ECF that think highly of the company.

Aw crap on the deeming date. Glad I have been stocking up and will continue to do so until I can't anymore. I think I am in pretty good shape, but need a few more vape specific spare parts. I don't think things like batteries and o-rings and such will be "banned" since they are used for so many other things, but I would like a few more parts is parts....

Has something new happened? Last I heard it was in OMB

No, the proposed change for the deeming date was a congressional action. The OMB is a separate deal.

Basically what it says is they didn't include the change in grandfather date, for ecigs, in the spending bill, so 2007 is still the cutoff. We still have hope with HR 2058, so we aren't sunk yet.

So how do I reply to this new rule without breaking an ECF rule...
