Ho hum I'm days behind ...again .... still :confused: Hello everyone
Anyway I need to buy vg again and it's been a year since I have had to. Where is the best place now?

PS kayfun 4 is nice but needs filling way more then other kayfuns

Not sure what you mean by best place. Cheapest, most reliable...? I had problems with the Wal-Mart stuff, seem to be ever so slightly allergic to something in it. Switched to Wizard Labs and problem gone. More expensive and the shipping is killer but hey, I save money from not sucking on an inhaler. Wizard Labs is purer than Humco. People also love Essential Depot. I'm sure others here have some good suggestions too.

That's a great link! I've bookmarked it. It's also a great example for my database students.

:blink: You gots database students? So... whaddya like for relational database software on a windoze platform these days? (Serious question - I need to find something and migrate some really old databases for someone.)

I too am a strong advocate of Wizard Labs. High quality and reasonable pricing also, the most amazing packaging you have ever seen. Anybody here who uses them can confirm that it isn't going to break during shipping if WL packed it. They also have a great selection of flavors in smaller quantities if you want to fiddle with creating different juices. Great folks, fast shipping and great customer service. They are out of Orlando Florida if it makes any difference.

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

Wizard Labs is the best. Plus, if we were going to be nuked, I'd crawl into one of their packages because they'll survive intact. Amazing company.

MySQL is great (and free) if you need something relatively light weight that's easy to configure and talk to from a web server. MSSQL is OK for small to medium sized projects, and it's what we teach our students for the intro to SQL course. It's fully featured but is on the slow side, and SQL Server Management Studio is pretty good. If you're talking enterprise-wide, or bigger projects, then Oracle is still the 400 pound gorilla in the marketplace (and is what we use for our advanced SQL class).

I try to stick with MySQL whenever possible, but I'm an open-source kind of guy.

Yeesh I am so out of date the last Databases I ever worked with were MS Acess (the office suite one) and FIleMaker. LOL

Just received my Kanger Subtank Nano today :headbang::banana::thumb:

Lovin' it like nobody's business. Evape.us has them for $24.95. I thought about the Mini, but I'm not overly crazy about the bigger tank (I have flavor ADD and need to change somewhat frequently :lol:)

Now, I think I'll be needing another Nano and another mod on which it can go (currently running on iPV Mini. I can run the 1.2 ohm coils on my Vamo V6, but I'm going to try to sell two of my MVPs and a few PT2s to get the new mod and another Nano)

Happy, happy, joy, joy :)

Well I did it. Built my second Lemo with a Kanthal 1.5. Won't work on my Provari 2.5's with the beauty ring on it pin doesn't reach. Works great on my P3 tastes great too. Oh and no leaky on either one even on their sides. The littler Kangers are out huh? I would have to have the mini. I like rebuilding.

I looked for the Abbott and Costello "Formaldehyde" routine on Youtube but couldn't find it.

The findings that PG vapor has more formaldehyde than cigarette smoke scared me a little. I know how flawed those findings might be, but still, I've been a real-high PG vaper, until 3 days ago. I mixed up some nic joose in 100% VG, and have been mixing it with small amounts of joose that I had previously mixed (which do have PG in them).

Anyway, I'm not finding that the flavor carries more poorly in VG. In effect I'm using flavoring at about one-third the level I was using just 3 days ago, but the flavor is still sufficient.

Another reason that I mixed some nic-only juice is for vaping in the presence of those who find the flavoring odors noticeable or objectionable. I want to find out if I can tolerate flavorless joose.

Well I F Ued my Kanger rebuuildable section. Parts of chimney got stuck and dummy me tried Pliers. Bent the lower section of the chimney so will not fit anymore. So that 1/2 of my Kanger is TU. Don't use pliers and Chinese stuff.

Have you experimented with parts from other devices to see if any would fit it? FT has bunches of replacement parts for various tanks.

I'm stressing too. I have several pages up ready to order some stuff. I'm also over-the-top angry right now. For instance, Washington wants to tax a drip tip at 95% but taxes "other stuff" at 25%? It makes no sense. And it's all based on fear mongering lies.

The Koiler at FT is $2.69 for one size right now or a Universal kit for $7.11 $7.11 Universal Tools Wire Coiling Tool w/ Phillips & Slotted & Hex Key Screwdriver Bits - red / 3.5mm + 3.0mm + 2.5mm + 2.0mm winding rods at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping. Mine's been somewhere between LA and here for several days now. :lol: Even just between all of us on the porch right now, we'd all help out folks that got caught short if something passed quickly or couldn't afford to nail down all their orders in time. I don't care for being made to feel like a criminal because I quit smoking.

Mine's in USPS limbo, too. The first half left SF about 3 days ago, & the second half got there & left again today. We must have had orders in the same container since we ordered the same thing 24 hours apart.
But I got the shrink wrap from PapaSloth today! :) Five minutes after I opened the envelope with the shrinkwrap in it I put a battery in the Hana backwards & it's dead, dead, dead. :cry: I sent an email to Hana's repair service to find out about fixing it. :mad:
So I'm back to the MVP's & Istick for now. :closedeyes: The istick hits about like the Hana, the MVP's not so much. At least I understand what that means now! :laugh:
So good things & bad things all in one day!
