Goodnight Chet
Goodnight David, and goodnight from NBC news....
just kidding, but reading those posts back to back brought that back
I'm in the middle of an experiment -- since yesterday ~3pm -- I'm using no nic and no flavoring in the ST Mini... straight, unadulterated PG and VG @ 50/50. Pretty interesting really. Kind of sweet but "not really". Kind of a throat hit, but "not really". Still big clouds though, and sort of a cooling effect.
Throat still feels irritated though... hope that goes away later.
Next step will be to switch to a 1.2Ω OCC and see how that goes.
I'm beginning to think sub-ohm vaping isn't for me, even though I never go over 13w. May just have to re-think something I said the other day -- that I'll be getting more Sub tanks -- Mini and Nano. We'll see how it goes with the 1.2Ω...

I have a Vamo.. It's a good mid-range device. worth what you pay for it. There are other devices out there that are better, and a LOT that are worse.
that doesn't work for me... I usually vape at 6.5 watts... and it only goes in 1 watt increments.
and...
Vape on the Coast had their venue back out on them for September this year. so they found a new place and a new name
Orlando Vape Convention
Who else will be there?
I don't see a smile.
I see lips pursed for the next toke. I also see a very long flat-top-crew-cut.When my Vamo fails I will replace it with a kicked mech (or two) and get an ohm tester.
I was a cheaper smoker than you. I am pretty-well even at this point. Tubes and pipe tobacco and I recycled my butts. Maybe that's why I was an accidental quitter! LOL

Uh... no. Not 1 watt, .1 watts.

added:
Oh.
You meant 0.1 watts.
The naked decimal point is easier to see in the quoted box than the original post.

Same thing, just different.
Besidez... wutcha got against noodez!?!? 
I also thought I was a cheaper smoker - collected coupons, smoked what was on sale - shorts / longs did not matter - never dedicated to one brand... I think that is one of the reasons that my total savings is lower than others - also cigs were cheaper in Ga.
It is amazing that I now vape for a month on what I used to spend in one or two days.
But accidental quitter or not - You Quit - and that what makes you a winner in the end...
Does anyone know the average life span of these kicks - I am using just the fuze because the kicks cost so much, but if they last like forever it might be worth the jump - I see mechs in my future with all the FDA stuff unfolding. I built a few box mods out of wood a couple of years back - did not like to carry a box, but it is my backup if they cut everything...
Edit - when I say like forever - I mean not including battery frying them and such other related failures - I just do not use the quality standards that are involved in their making.

No idea on their lifespan but I seem to remember if you put them in backwards you could fry the board. They're available in a wide price range. The Evolv original kick ~ $20 (10watt max), their Kick2 (15 watt max) $40+. Then the clones, Smok's is 12 watt max and Sigelei's is 15watts. From domestic vendors +/-$15. Fastech has he Siegelei for ~$9.
Getting you a Busardo fangirl t-shirt for Christmas. Kidding, of course, I like him too. Didn't you swear off nickel right before my absence?
I like Busardo cause when I email him he always gets back to me right away. Has for years. Plus the fact that his reviews go into so much detail. I still have sworn off nickel except I want to try it on the Tugboat. Busardo has the same view of it that I do but he did get it to work pretty well on the Tugboat. I watch all his videos as soon as they come out. He is the reason I am not preordering the SXmini M class. Everything I have bought was on his suggestions and haven't been unhappy. The nickel was not on his suggestion neither was my Sigelei 20w which I sort of like.

Say Wolfy I was going to tell you another thing I have had really good luck with is after I clean and rewick my attys or recoil them I start them out about 2w lower then I normally vape then and slowly work my way up at 1/2w levels over a whole day or 2 seems to work real well too. If I start off right away at 11w or 12w they sometimes taste burnt but if I break them in a little it works alot better. Glad that wicking worked for you.
Yes, the ill dog is well and the stranded team came in strong and looking for "Dad," who had been released by then and was overjoyed to see them. The dogs nowadays have better wardrobes than I do for handling the cold. Some of the mushers wound up with frostbite though as there was an unreal temp drop atone point. One checkpoint briefly got down to -65.
Glad to see you and Legs are still going strong. See you tomorrow.
Edit
You can buy access to a tracker. Each sled carries a GPS device, they also carry a SOS button that isn't very reliable) and you can watch them make their way down the trail, or off the trail if they get lost. Sometimes if somebody scratches you can watch their tracker go to the nearest airport and fly across the country.
Last thing I'll say about this is thank heavens for vaping! There were some tough times during the race where I would have chain smoked over a pack of cigarettes, such as watching someone sitting on the ice for over 10 hours and race officials doing nothing to check on the musher and team, and vaping was awesome. Last year wasn't nearly as stressful as this year and I now realize I never even thought about smoking. Getting pretty good at this.
Good for you, Tutu! Vape through it! I'd have a hard time watching them sitting there without help. Ugh!
Actually I didn't know that. Therefore I didn't get the reference until you explained it. Thanks!

Thanks Mike. Everywhere I looked for them they were $50 and up - that is what made me hesitant.
I see dat ya already went 'nother route, but I still have a VAMO in my daily rotation (until my third iStick arrives). I've had no issues with da threading. The reason I went wid da VAMO way back when was dat it had da 'eGo skirt well' for my ol' eGo dual coil cartomizers. It has held up well for being 2.5+ years old!
Used one (Smok) fer 'bout 18 months. Was working fine when my telescopic mech Sigelei #20 switch spring went kaput.

Thanks Iffy. Now combined with Mikes price range - I may be on a hunt for a good deal - mech and kick - Okay I lied about not buying anything, but this is only due to possible fallouts in the future...
