Wow, smoking in your own car and she won't give you your bag of food Every time I think I've heard it all something else happens to top the last rediculous thing. !!! Not a MD fan here anyways but that's just another reason to avoid them.

Did I say she said it's tiny ... well I have to agree.

Next to a KFL deck. Look at how small the grub screw at the top of the VVTF is. Smallest precision screw driver I have could be smaller.

But it's doable ... 1st coil/install about 30 minutes. I forgot how they did it in the video so I just 'did it'. Will watch the video again before attempting the 2nd one I have. Used 28g Kanthal on a 2mm mandrel (the air hole is a bit bigger than 2mm and def smaller than 2.5mm). Forget how many wraps ... maybe 9? Came out to 1.4Ωs

Tomorrow I have to sweep the floor (it's a hardwood floor where I work). First coil went boing like a spring trying to get it into position. Mile's is coming tomorrow and I don't want his little foot to find it.

Sorry Deb, I have since unsubscribed to all sales emails, and the Deals and Steals thread . Went crazy the last couple of months , and it had to end . I have no willpower anymore . I only keep an eye on a couple of fasttech threads and read you guys every day/all day , so that should be enough to keep in the know, and give my credit card a rest .

 

[garyoa1]

and give my credit card a rest .

Yer fired.

Mornin, Tutu! You were up late, last night!

It IS weird. My P3's and Radii were signature required; my blem was not (although the site said it would be). So, I figured a Kabuki would be, but the postman left it without a sig. International DHL (Germany or Greece) seems always to require a signature, but I can leave a note on the door. This all makes me wonder what the standard is going to be in a world of deeming...

Previsit panic before going up to my parents has me staying awake far to late in the evening.

World of the deeming will be no vape mail. May not need anything but I sure will miss it if it comes down to that nationally or by state. If you could get vape mail but need to sign for it, wonder how many POed mail carriers there will be.

Ya want me to tape your mouth too?!?!?

BTW LB, nice assembly of plaintiffs in dat suit!

You can try, we haven't had a good knock down, drag out in eons.

me too. The 3 I've been trying to help forever, just aren't taking to it.


you've been through a lot of the same stuff with your leg.....so you feel as sorry for yourself as ya need to It's a shame when medicine can do such miraculous things, that they can't seem to fix something seemingly simple. If you can bypass a heart with a leg vein, how come ya can't make a pee tube with one??? lol Or fix your leg!!


I found this in a search, wish they'd posted a link, but perhaps you can post this size in google and find where to get em
What size O-Ring for a 510 drip tip?

Thanks hun!


Wahoooo!!!!!


here ya go

My surgery had a 30%+ failure rate (artery clogging again) I wasn't aware of. I'd far rather they vacuum it out again rather than slice and dice me. Had quite the adventure last time but really the worst part is having to pay for it again (plus I loath hospitals).

Thanks for the link!

I got some from Lowes that fit my drip tips. That's Protank drip tips and various others I've picked up in shops. I assume they are all the same. At least the standard ones. Lemo and Nautilus use different rings for example.

Danco #47. OD - 11/32". ID - 7/32". Thickness - 1/16".

They aren't silicone, just regular plumbing rings. Some kind of black rubber. Maybe you can use those numbers to find the silicone you want. Or get a pack of plumbing rings first just to make sure they fit your drip tip.

Mick, thank you!

This is something that happened in an assisted living center.

The people who lived there have small apartments but they all eat at a
central cafeteria. One morning one of the residents didn't show up for
breakfast so my wife went upstairs and knocked on his door to see if
everything was OK. She could hear him through the door and he said that he
was running late and would be down shortly so she went back to the dining
area.

An hour later he still hadn't arrived so she went back up towards his room
and she found him on the stairs. He was coming down the stairs but was
having a hell of time. He had a death grip on the hand rail and seemed to
have trouble getting his legs to work right. She told him she was going to
call an ambulance but he told her no, he wasn't in any pain and just
wanted to have his breakfast. So she helped him the rest of the way down
the stairs and he had his breakfast.

When he tried to return to his room he was completely unable to get up
even the first step so they called an ambulance for him. A couple hours
later she called the hospital to see how he was doing. The receptionist
there said he was fine, he just had both of his legs in one leg of his
boxer shorts.

Sent that to my parents, who live in a retirement building, and haven't heard a word back since. I thought the poor guy was going to die. Happy ending, hilarious! Thanks for the laugh. I feel bad for the poor gentleman though.

Oh no, paid FULL POP but I did choose the "free shipping" option. That can get pretty expensive to Alaska! Sorry I didn't get back to this yesterday. Things & stuff, you know.


Pleading the same "Things & Stuff excuse" here. The vendor is Heartland Vapor Products and the carrier is UPS (free shipping on this too. ) I got a L. from them a little over a month ago and the brown truck guy just ran up to the door, knocked and ran back to his truck before I could even get to the door. KEWL BEANS, right! This time it is supposed to be here by the end of business, Friday, so I'll keep ya'all posted. (BTW a Gal. of 100%VG weighs 12 pounds. I think the USPS "Parcel Post" (7 to 10 business days on a slow barge from Federal Way, Wa.) cost was around $130!!! Don't even ask what "Priority Mail" was!!! Ya, shipping KILLS us in Alaska! Still, I'd much rather be HERE than there.

Afternoon Everybody!!!
Von Vape

Okay, not my vendor(s), yet. It's a PITA to get to the PO here. Good luck to you!

 

[Danousa]

Yer fired.

Gary, I'm sure if you sent @mmsjs5 your CC info she would be happy to buy things and test them for ya! The ones she "likes" will be sent to you, for sure!

 

[DancingHeretik]

Ran into a nice 'how much did I need' nic calculator in another thread. Mike Petro (really nice guy) put it together. Click on the open Icon at the top of the page or download it to excel to use it.

Vapocolypse Calculator.xls

Thanks. This is a lot easier than doing it by hand. It's so easy to switch the numbers around to see what difference slight changes would make.

It's been a while since I stopped in to say, "Hi Everyone"

Been updating my stash since the deeming order came out I didn't need much, but my 18 year old grandson needed quite a bit. Now that's taken care of, it's back to enjoying my vape and keeping an eye on what the different states decide to do and watching the law suits. Got to admit, I'm really tired of 6 years of fighting the FDA crap.

It's nice to see you back on the Porches. Now that you're all stocked up, you can relax and hang out a bit.

I wasn't all that aware of the FDA issues for my first year or so. It was during my second year that I started becoming aware of what the future might hold. So, I only feel like I've been fighting for about 3 years.

Just googled up this video, it's pretty good, better than any info I found on the VVTF website or FB page. But its actually from the VVTF company.

It looks quite do-able until you have one of these tiny RBAs in front of you. I really do need to take some comparison pictures so you get a feel for how tiny the working space and screws are.

Not only is it and it's screws tiny. The whole thing is so tiny that, even magnified, I can't even see what he's doing to attach that first leg.

Still loving my Reo with either a RM2 or good old fashion Lr 510 atty Often take my Egrip out with me when I want something small and stealthy. I've never been much of a tank person, but I am now enjoying my Aromamizer V2's when I use my Evic VTC mini. I like the fact that I can use the Aromamizer as a tank or as a dripper. The Velocity mini is my favorite RBA only these days. When I'm in the mood for a mechanical tube its still my ELA I enjoy the most.

A nice variety, something for every mood. Perfect. Sounds like you're very well set.

Like Deb said, they already took your money. Apparently under false pretenses. So, she's not only rude. She's a thief.

Just Wow!

Sorry Deb, I have since unsubscribed to all sales emails, and the Deals and Steals thread . Went crazy the last couple of months , and it had to end . I have no willpower anymore . I only keep an eye on a couple of fasttech threads and read you guys every day/all day , so that should be enough to keep in the know, and give my credit card a rest .

lol I understand hun. Other than some more nic, and I know where I want to get that, there really isn't much else I need. Sounds so great to say that! I unsubbed from deals and steals some time back, cuz mostly they didn't post anything I was interested in, and if it was nic or something I was interested in, it would get posted on one of the porches or the reo lounge. lol

Previsit panic before going up to my parents has me staying awake far to late in the evening.

wow, y'all were just there. Hope nuttin is wrong, and yur just goin for another visit. Got yur 56mg nic mixed up??? Sure wish they could get you fixed hun!

 

[Ken_A]

30 ml of e-liquid =
1 ml blueberry candy
1/2 ml wintergreen
1/2 ml maple flavoring
I was trying to make a mint-blueberry suryp flavor
shook it up, and tasted my finger... tastes more like blueberry gum. will have to wait for tomorrow when this last bit of strawberry mint is done tomorrow to try it out.

 

[mmsjs5]

I just use a straight cut, a tiny bit wider than the coil. I leave the outer layers on, too. I cut the wick so it just touches the deck on both sides & plaster it against the +/- posts, well away from the juice flow holes. I don't trim, shape or fiddle with it. No dry hits, no leaks. Just thrown it in & vape. I've found too much wick will soak up too much juice & it runs down the airhole & out the sides. With KF's less is best.

Thank you for this! I have, all of a sudden, run into the late sizzle/nasty hit, on ALL my kayfuns. I couldn't think of anything I changed. This was just the trick! I'm back on track with my kayfuns .

I need to do that. Hmmm. Maybe after August 8th. You've got nerves of steel.

I unsubbed from deals and steals some time back, cuz mostly they didn't post anything I was interested in

Yea, I know. Mostly premade juice or some new shiny, unnecessary mod that I don't care about. All I want is the clearance, cheap stuff and just plain basics.

Well I might have been wrong about the number of vapers in the US. I checked it out and about 10% of adults in the US vape that is almost 25,000,000 maybe there is hope.

 

[FlamingoTutu]

In the nic dept I think I am good have 2100ml and I'm back at 3mg. So that's 700 100ml bottles.

Typo? I'm surprised Dancing didn't have something to say about your math. I have about the same amount but am going for another liter. Better safe than sorry and all that, plus my husband is a butter fingers.

Wrap a coil with frogs hair around a needle and place it in there capture the leads nothin to it.

What the heck is frongs hair? Liked Deb's picture though.

I would have short-circuited. What a female dog. I feel bad when I see someone smoking now but I'd never, ever tell someone that can't do something, that's legal, in their car just because of my personal prejudices. Report her to the manager. Just told my husband, now he's ...... too.

Good grief, and I couldn't see well enought to tell the diameter of my o-ring.

Another visit. Was suppose to be before "summer" got here. Yep, made some stronger nic.

Fire season is early, it's grim here. Now the estimate is 66 million trees dead, three fire already in very close proximity. Sooo...

Sent 5 mods and some tanks to my parents to store until all the dead trees on the property are cut down. Gave a neighbor another 5, plus tanks, extra glass and misc parts to evac if there is a fire. Prepping is bad enough without having to prep your prep.

Last century, when I was at the University, a political science professor said "If 5% of the population ignores the law, it is unenforceable."

Yay! KF's are easy peazy.

 

[LittleBird]

Sweet-vapes has consistently been one of the lower prices vendors for them. And right now MFS has them on sale for 33% off but limited to 2 packs. Use code = MFS33OFF

You can get 2 packs of each resistance. They have different SKUs, I guess, cuz MFS considers each resistance to be a different coil.

evape.us sells nauti coils $8.95/5 pack, no limit

I got a bunch of coils from them, recently. Had to sign for them, though... Maybe because of the quantity?

...I've found too much wick will soak up too much juice & it runs down the airhole & out the sides. With KF's less is best.

Yup! I learned that lesson the hard way!

Did I say she said it's tiny ... well I have to agree.

Ah, nope! Not gonna happen! That deck is waaay too tiny for me! I think you did great to get it done in half an hour, Mike.

Yay! KF's are easy peazy.
