Well we've seen reference to nicotine helping with memory. :laugh:
:facepalm: :laugh:

As far as mean vs RMS, yes a lot of folks would know. Set at the same wattage a device measuring mean instead of RMS is going to hit a lot harder. When the VAMO first came out it would drop out of RMS and into Mean without the operator doing anything and people noticed it right away.

Sent with no malice and not a whole lot of forethought from my new Galaxy Tab 4. Thanks Santa!

I dunno if my lil vv gripper is rms or mean but it is pwm, but man I love that thing. Just wish it had been made better. Broke one big time trying use epoxy on the 510 connection to get it to stay still. Got another....it hit the floor, the battery door broke, the metal tab came loose, so I have to line that up just right, close the door, and tape it. But it still works great! There are times I get better flavor from it than I do the Hana moving the same naughty and juice from one to the other. http://vaporintelligent.com/products/smoktech-gripper-vv-18650 Pretty much the first thing I've tried from Smok that I liked. Just wish it were thicker (to stand up) and sturdier.

I see MFS does it again. A liter of nic for $40.

First I looked up how many mls in a liter (yeah, shoulda known that one) :facepalm: then I looked up WL's price...wow! 17.00 more for 1/2 as much. But then there is Tutu's point. I would definitely pay more for higher quality and to not get a peppery flavor, but is it? I dunno. Tons of folks love mfs nic, but tons of folks love Mount Baker Vapor too. I'm going to start getting bottles and stuff little by little as I can, but am really starting to wish I had a freezer full of nic. Don't like some of the proposed regulations I'm hearing about and even juice companies starting to change what they're offering. It'll take me awhile to get things I need, so I have time to decide, but it does make one think. Ok, makes me think, all y'all diy'ers have already thunk. lol

BTW, speaking of antiques, my keyboard was made in 1986 and is now considered highly desirable and collectible. If I wait a little longer, maybe my socks will be collectible as well!

I don't think so sparky.......fossilized perhaps....collectible, not so much!

This room has a lovely fragrance of custard wafting through it! got some custard juice airing out with the top off. Yummm

I ordered some coils from MFS, was lookin around the site after I ordered and realized I'd gotten bvc coils, but apparently not nautilus bvc coils. Called em, they said they'd fix it, use my store credit for the difference, (which I later realized was 1.00 short), and not to worry. I'd gotten two packs of bvc coils (which were wrong) and 2 pks of bdc coils, which I wanted. It came in today and they'd sent me 4 packs of of the naughty bvc coils and no bdc coils. :facepalm: OH well, I'm using the naughty the most right now, so I'm definitely stocked up on those! At least I'm not out of the bdc coils yet.

Only problem with that in this case is he never smoked or vaped. I sure as heck am NOT gonna get him started. hahahahahahaha

As I told my mother... if it comes to needing it for memory - the patch is just as good as vaping.
she shocked me by saying when she needs it, she wants me to show her how to vape!

EDIT: Just went to WL to see if I could see the lab results - couldn't. But I had 2 bottles of nic in my shopping cart!! So, guess I'm getting more nic. I order from them because it's good nic, and they are less than 45 min away from me. :D

Fastech isn't shipping them yet.... they are waiting on more Koilers. Derps.
I'm surprised, at my age, that I'm not wanting things to get here "yesterday", ... but I don't mind waiting.
The cute little coils I'm making in the meantime are working just fine, so I'm basically just waiting on some new "toys" :p
I thing they might make coiling a little easier, but at the same time, I have more appreciation for the things I have to work for. :thumbs:

Taking a guess for long term storage how much difference would there be in storing the nic in the fridge compared to freezer ?

Have the current lot in the freezer but most the time freezer is foolish.

Also for the nic with vg how thick does it go in the freezer , nothing letting it sit at room temp for a while won't fix ?

Happy Birthday, Myrany! 50? You're just a baby!

Well, actually 50 was a big one for me too. Something about being half a century old. Wow!

As long as you don't NEED it right away, it's nice to just have the excitement of having a package coming! Let it take it's time. Drag out that anticipation!

OK. I've had my nap. Time to sneak off to find a 24-hour grocery store before the rest of the world wakes up and disturbs my peace. Later!

Anyone wrapped around a screw to get a spaced coil ?

Can get a relatively close coil with usually the outer two wraps needing to be pushed in.
If going for a spaced coil I find it hard to get the spaces even , if that matters.

it's part of the list of links I post occasionally.

as for NIC in the freezer vs. fridg... no Idea. I get my nic in PG not VG - general consensus is that it's going to last longer. Something about the life of Vegetable vs Propylene.

EDIT: I just figured it out!!! I didn't grow up to be a baseball player, president, or anything like that!
I grew up to be a rebel! Or an activist.
Yeah, I vape, and the government wants to regulate it out of existence
I just paid for a quad copter - which the government wants to regulate out of existence
and I just paid for a 3D Printer - which the government wants to regulate out of existence

seems like anything I'm interested in, the government doesn't want us to have.

Well the mod is 4.05 inches high - 2.20 inches wide - 0.87 inches deep.

The Lemo drop is 2.75 inches high.

Bigger than a REO Grande. It would be difficult for me too. SOme of us are cursed with tiny tiny hands and early onset arthritis. :(



Thanks for the birthday wishes y'all. :)

BTW I got a new toy that I am using packing my nic for the freezer. Hubby got me a FoodSaver 4880. It is one of those vacuum sealer gadgets to pack food for the freezer. So now I take my gallon of nic and split it into smaller bottles. Wrap the lid in electrical tape to keep it from leaking. Stick it in foodsaver roll plastic and vacuum seal it (Get out nearly all the air) then stick the sealed bag in a sock to keep out light. Then the whole thing in a zippy bag and into the freezer it goes. I figure it has to be better for keeping out air and preventing leaks.
