Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[2legsshrt]

The owner of Creme de vape (UK) has posted several times in the authentics thread. She said that SVM released the actual atty in Europe first, to beat their deeming equivalent date. They then released elsewhere. She also said that SVM is working all out to manufacture and ship component parts - but they are having difficulty keeping up with demand, all over the world.

While I think they should've instructed their authorized dealers to give a MTL kit to purchasers (as they did, with the faulty K3 mini insulators), they didn't do that. But, it isn't SVM's fault that dealers are limiting customer purchases. That's the dealers' decision.

Oh I know it's not but when they limit you to one glass tube per order it can get pretty expensive shipping if you want 3. I see now you can buy other parts for the V3 besides the glass and the spares. I'm just ranting I love the atty but I'm already seeing wear on the Oring at the bottom of the build deck the one you can't get to without removing the 510 pin. I'd have to look at the diagram and see how many that size are on it. I would assume that the spares would have 1 for each one that is on there. I was going to hold off on the spares till they get somemore glass tanks in but hopefully the Tobecco ones are not too bad. Have heard not so good of things about some of the clones Orings.

Why do places limit the amount of orders you place. If they have a ton why not sell them. Origin Vapes has Kayfun 5 spares and has for quite a while but they limit you to 3 when they have the glass in stock they limit you to 1 so if you want to order more then that you have to place 2 or 3 orders and pay shipping on each one. It sucks.

You may have answered your own question there, Leggs. Although MikeE3's more altruistic thought may have something to do with it too. A disclaimer like; "Limit - one item per shipping address" would be nice though. The fact that they allow one shipping address to order multiple times indicates (IMO) that the altruistic thought may not be the correct one and that REALLY sucks! (Can you say, "eBay shipping gougers"?)

On the other hand, a dog would not be much of a match for a cat such as a mountain lion.

Oh contrare mon frair, Labs & Blue Tips are the dog of choice when hunting Mountain Lion. I know, I was as shocked as you probably are right now but when a friend showed me pics of his dogs "at work" with a Mountain Lion backed up to the edge of a cliff and another one "treed", I was amazed. Same thing with Black Bear. Now Grizzlies are a different story. I'm pretty sure they ain't askeired a nuthin'! They consider pepper spray, "Seasoning"!

Afternoon All!
Oops, almost forgot, Welcome to the porches Debawho .... Oh Debadoo, hey, I vaguely remember you.

The negative side on this mod doesn't have a spring, either. The battery just drops into the tube opening, and rests on a fairly flat surface. I thought about dropping in a REO gold spring ... Yes? No?

Going out on a limb... According to posts here, the body is aluminum, which is most likely electrically negative/'ground'. If that is the 'case', then I see no objections to placing a 'gold spring' on the negative end of the battery (assuming it can handle any normal vaping amperage usage/draw). If the spring fails, there will be no further current flow; aka a fancy fuse.

NEVER use a magnet on the positive end of a batt within a metallic case!!!

If anyone disagrees with the above, PLEASE LMK! I'm always willing to learn any exceptions/corrections to my assumptions and subsequent advice.


As to phurry/pheathered/phinned phriends, luv and appreciate 'em all! Just ain't too excited 'bout da cleanups... but normally worth any aggravation...

Speaking of dogs my Grandaughters poor old German Shorthair she found out has Lupus. I guess it is something that seems to be in the genes of German breeds of dogs, German Shepherds I can't think of others but I know there are others. She has the type that is the less harmful but it still sucks, her poor nose and ears and lips are all affected. Her meds just got in today and they are $120 a month so she is going to get one of her friends who is Mexican to see if she can get them in Mexico. It's only 5 miles away and they go there quite frequently. Not a safe place for her to go by herself but if they have them there they can get them for her. I'm sure they would be cheaper.

Just a thought and please duct tape my mouth if I'm wrong/crazy/endangering anyone.
How about a couple of pennies or dimes, even a "patty" of aluminum foil??? Just spit ballin' here.........

<<kicks back in recliner>> ahhhhhhhhhhhhh sooooooooooo good to be home!!!! I missed y'all so much!!

Welcome home. Now all you have to do is read the 50 pages of post.

Thanks hun! Have I mentioned I really DON'T like cats?????????? lol

They are pretty good sautéed in butter, I just can't remember if it is red or white wine that is best.

If memory serves, it's red with cats, think Coq Au Vin.

He marked my chart as non-smoker So it seems that at least some in that profession are getting the message!

I sure hope that catches on.

Debs back - everybody quit talking bad things about her now...

The more I find out about Svoe Mesto the less I would want to buy another authentic. Seems like a manufacturer would take care of the places buying the most but that is not the case in this situation.

I think EU regs hit before ours do so they are giving them first shot.

 

[Semiretired]

I really wish I had a crystal ball that worked - I would love to know what happens to this industry in the future 10, 20 or even 30 years out...

...... I have a dog, even though it is a young pup and a pain in the a*s ( Labrador )..... I like most animals, but then again, I am just an overgrown sap ...... I have eight cats as well ......... Yes, cats are way different from dogs and it takes lots to understand them......... But I love my cats and my dog.... I will continue to work on you (and pray for you) in hopes you will give cats a try

I grew up with cats. My sister is a cat person. They make me sneezy & itchy, & oooooohhhh those litter boxes! I was given a kitten once, had him for several years. Then the person that gave him to me passed away & I gave the cat to my sister.

Checked wid a penny and am not sure it a coin would work in dat my batts have da heat shrink preventing contact. As fer da foil, I save all dat fer my hats!

Yuk. I just got to complain to someone. I went out today on a trip that involved 2 hours driving. Only took one mod, with a new battery and a full tank. Trouble was I had messed up the wick. It started spitting hot juice on my tongue almost as soon as I left home and did it nonstop the whole trip. By the end it felt like having hot needles jabbed into the end of my tongue.

I did try not vaping for a while. But after a bit of experimentation I came to the conclusion that hot needles in the tongue was a little less bad than not vaping. Normally I could handle taking a break, but when I'm driving I'm a vaping maniac.

It was a good lesson though. Always take 2 setups when you go out.

That gives me shivers!

 

[Semiretired]

I grew up with cats.

I grew up with both. I have only owned dogs due to litter boxes, but can take either. Cats purr machine is neat and they have talents that dogs just don't have, but I still have to stick to my pups...

‘Baptists, Bootleggers & Electronic Cigarettes’: A response to Professor Berman

I love the responses we see published to the inane & obscene junk science from the other side.

Yea, vape mail. I was able to get the red and Black RX200 with a Black Herakles Plus.

@2legsshrt the Tobeccos are great. I thought you got some. The tanks should work on your authentics & FT has spares.

Pretty darned sharp set up there Diver! Looks like the other "used to be" balck one's got a mile or two on it. Congrats on the new shiny!!!

yeah I grew up with cats as well ..... It's too bad to hear you have allergies ..... Yep, dealing with those cat boxes does indeed suck for sure..... Yeah, cats are not for everyone.
