Haven't been around in a while, nice to see all the familiar faces and the new ones, too!
I've switched to TC and lovin' it!:thumb:


I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hi Willieg ... long time no see. A couple folks here are now TC vapers. Watch for bigbells and 2legs, both really liking their TC vaping. So what you vaping now-a-days?

I love Wizard Labs and when I want to get everything all at once still use them all the time.
Big fan myself. Not the cheapest but one of the best. Get the Nic delivered once and you'll know what I'm talking about.

My PVs are 2 ea IPVD2's and an IPV4S. I know there are some better TC MODs out there, but for the price...to each his own.

The Atlantis and the Triton's are acceptable with Ni200, but certainly not unbeatable.
IMHO, the Matrix tank has a slight advantage.

The one tank, IMHO, that stands out is the Freemax Star or StarPro. StarPro if top fill is your preference. What makes the Freemax standout is the parallel coils. Experience with drippers made me a believer in parallel coils.

True, they burn thru juice quicker, but the flavor makes it a necessary evil. ;-)

I did some Ni200 and Titanium rebuilds, but the factory coils are lasting me 2 to 3 weeks so the price is acceptable. I prefer Ni200 over Titanium, I get better flavor with Ni200...and YES I can tell the difference in the two. Some may want to argue that, but I'm convinced.
:)

Most of my juice purchase are wholesale prices, I find a few (3 -4) juices I prefer and stick to those. I've tried DIY juice, but run into issues with VG, PG or flavoring having a funky taste. All my stuff is kept refrigerated. Ordered from, supposedly, reliable suppliers...not mentioning names, but most of you are familiar with them.

Didn't mean for this to drag out...careful what you ask, Mike. LOL

Was gonna say 'bout da same, got side tracked elsewhere.

Where do ya do most of your vaping? I would guess in da apt. Mold? If it's a recent issue, I would guess a sinus issue as opposed to vaping da same recipes.

Please keep us posted as to your experiences.

Can hardly wait til ya get back home and just enjoy your time off!
.
Actually I've had it happen to me at home AND at work in the apartment. Now, due to all the moisture we deal with all the time down here on the island, mold can be prevalent. However, for the last couple of days, it hasn't seemed to bother me. Sinuses still running, but seem to be settling some. Who knows? The weather has been so up and down it's unreal!! 55 degrees two days...up in the 70s the next two days.

I can hardly wait to get home either. I'm just mentally worn out.

Agreed since it's only happening at home. I've had to learn the hard way at least three times.

Roto, it's not always easy to nail down what's causing it, just try keeping in mind what you might be exposed to that set it off. Dryer sheets, mold, shampoo... Really hope you figure it out soon, I know it's miserable
Thanks! It's gonna be all right somewhere down the road.

FT put some more screws today. Use the Clnire method of finding them by searching for "replacement screws," otherwise who knows where you'll wind up. :confused:
Their search engine is screwy. No matter what I search for it is scattered among mech mods and all other vaping things.

Question for you TC users. What is TCR? Temperature Control R?

TCR = Temperature Coefficient of Resistance

It's some mystical number that describes the change in resistance as temperature increases.

Makes sense. Kinda like the same as the clarity of mud.

Well I discovered something I do not like about the P3. When the battery is done it shows EMPTY on the screen. Not Bat or LoBat or something sensible. I spent 10 minutes mucking with the atty thinking I didn't have it set up right. :p
That's why I'm not much of a fan. Great piece but technologically (IMO) it's archaic. Modern mods today show all kinds of info.

That should be an info display on a TC mod, since it "knows" when the tank is... EMPTY... :facepalm:

OK, now I get the jumble of number gobbledygook (that's a technical term). Thank you!

Thought I quoted you with Mike's quote.. I think the term is "jup". Math was never my strong point.. But I like to know what they are jabber walking about.
