Darn, and I just bought a new box of paperclips. How many wraps on a pencil does it take to get .05ohms on my homemade PVC mod with a single 18650 battery? Should I use the big clips or the little ones? <dripping sarcasm>

Well, I read somewhere in the interwebs that 4/3 wraps around your pinky should land you about 0.05 ohms :sneaky: :D

Oh, and twist 'em :p

You know your comment goes more to saying some people are not that smart or perhaps just greedy as they require many people to take action for them to do the right thing.

Heh, maybe a tossup there, Wolf, since we're talking about politicians. :-x But I'm leaning towards greedy on their part. Appeals to facts don't seem to matter. Appeals to votes and their jobs do...

Do you remove your pinky before dry burning?

If not, the dry burning will.

Hard to tell from the pic, but is that 12 or 14 gauge copper? And I guess it would have to go into a 26650 mod topper??

well yeah it's politicians. They only do the right thing for the lobbyists and those who bought their offices for em, not the people who actually voted for em.

What is going on in the Forums these days???? I've just read another relatively "terse" series of discussions in one of my favorite threads. It's like everyone has their panties in a wad.

When I first hopped on the ECF train over a year ago, the "factions" were the Provarinati, the Reonauts, and the Innokin Nation. But, almost EVERYONE was incredibly helpful (at least in the primary threads I would read.)

Now, it's "My mod is bigger than your mod, i.e. your choice of mod is stupid, and I am superior" and "I wanna blow huuuuuge clouds with an 18350 battery - is that safe? Oh and no, I don't know what an ohmmeter does, so I am gonna wrap three twists of a paperclip around my finger - that should work, right?"

Wow, I'm very sad.
If it gets that ugly, why doesn't someone report it?

Gosh, you got me there...

But the Legislature has officially adjourned, and it seems we dodged the bullet this year...
Fantastic!!! :D

Yes, @Ken_A. It is MUCH calmer here - perhaps some "maturity" in this thread?

Everyone in this thread has been warm and welcoming. It is quite refreshing. And most are long-time vapers, so there's no "I'm right and you're wrong" going on here... I am eternally grateful for all the help I've received during my journey. Winding and wicking coils, mixing juice, electronics refreshers (hold a degree in electrical engineering, but haven't practiced it in over 20 years....) It's been a re-education for sure.

Thank you folks for everything :) Thank you for helping to save my life.... I just passed 16 months smoke-free, and I feel AMAZING....
Congratulations! Saw this the other day and it cracked me up.


Seems like the older peeps remember the comforts of sitting on the front porch.
And they can do it without their noses buried in a cell phone.
Sitting on that piece of kanthal was drama enough for me.
Still can't convince you it was pin, huh?
Did vapours get people to do something nice for them ?
Soon y'all may be as smart as some mice :)
Name that mouse yet? Stewart, Mighty, Nigel?
I read an article about this and just shook my head. 13 & 14-year-olds are smoking so they raised the age to 21?? In Oregon, a 16-year-old can have a sex change operation without parent consent and it's paid for by the government! Yet we can't take care of our veterans!

You're welcome. My grandkids live in Houston and come to visit twice a year. Before they get here, all of my DIY gear and spare mods and toppers will be put away. It is just me and by 30+-year-old daughter in the house so major child-proofing takes place prior to their visit.
Isn't 16 a bit young for that? I remember when Oregon let a little boy die because they said it was too much money to spend on one individual to treat him. I think he was around 3-5 years old. Still makes me sick.

A couple of days ago was the first time my foot found a piece of kanthal. That was an experience I will not forget. I had just vacuumed, and it must have been standing straight up. Even though it was smaller than a hypo, it hurt more, probably because of the surprise.

I'm scared bleepless of needles. Actually, I'm just a big wuss when it comes to needle, last time I was going in for an allergy shot I had a nightmare about it the night before. Medical staff had a good laugh over it. I'd think kanthal would hurt like a sunofagun. Has to be a ragged end on it, not pointy.
Hey Deb!

Any word yet on Dancin'?
I keep running inside to see an update and not finding one. Should be be concerned yet. Wasn't the surgery almost 12 hours ago? :cry: Hang in there Dancing, we're all pulling for you! We even bought you a super, duper new rocker to recuperate in. :)

Valid. Perhaps I'm just overly-touchy lately. :)
I've been downright grouchy lately. Maybe I forgot to put the nic in this batch. General rule is you can attack the post but not the poster. What I have admired is the restraint I seen a lot of people show towards some questionable posts. ECF has far more classy people than ....... :thumb:
