1st post, page 3, does this look familiar? Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks | Page 3 | E-Cigarette Forum
Member 'Innocuous' here, Smoktech Terminator vs Terminator(c) | E-Cigarette Forum , says he has/had a Terminator-C, maybe he could help, if none of the other guesses are correct. 
I need to mix a batch of liquids tomorrow, but I'm going to have to experiment a little more than usual with my two main flavors. Since getting home all my liquids have been tasting very bland. I don't know if that is because of the extra three months of steeping or because my three months of not being able to vape has completely changed my tastes.
I can't even decide how much nicotine to add. I thought I'd be vaping up a storm after all that deprivation, especially considering the amount of nicotine lozenges I'd been going through. But I'm actually vaping a lot less than I did. So I figure maybe drop the nic some, but I'm not feeling at all nic sick when I do my occasional bouts of chain vaping.
So I'm figuring to start with small batches the way I'd been doing it, and maybe small batches of lower nic. Then see how the flavors taste. The Burley Menthol Tobacco does require heat steeping and about two weeks more steeping, so I may go ahead and make up even smaller batches with more flavor on that one, since I can always dilute it if it's too strong. The Earl Grey Tea improves a little with some steeping, but is pretty close to shake and vape, so I can experiment with that one right away.
I usually rotate in a third flavor, often an experiment that sounds interesting, but probably won't bother this time. When Liz was here helping out she thought she was reacting to one of those and for a couple of days I just vaped unflavored, and decided I kind of liked it. So I've been using that as the third "flavor" for a couple of weeks and will probably keep using it. The other accent ones that I had mixed up tasted somewhere between bland and downright yucky, and I haven't had any inspirations for what to try next.
There I go, back to my old habit of running off at the keyboard again.

Well we sure did miss it when you weren't! Good luck with your joose mixing choices! Personally, I've never vaped a joose that lost anything after 3 months, or even 2 years for that matter.There I go, back to my old habit of running off at the keyboard again.
My daughter was out doing some running around and picked me up a couple boxes. I think I will use them for my coil making supplies. She knows I am a bit if a Star Wars geek. It may be because of the LEGO Star Wars collection in my bedroom.
You've got some mad search skills, girl! The above post/thread is particularly interesting. Thank you!

So cool! And the perfect size for travel gear!
I’m sorry DH, I thought you were just talking about getting atties (attys?) organized. One of the most promising ones, and the ones people seem most happy with, and these little buggers. http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-STST1...sim_469_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0K8AVRZCD7B196NA6JN7 They come in different sizes and are stackable so if you’re interested, check the forum for recommendations. All my efforts to organize have been dismal failures. May try these next. At least everything will be in a neat, manageable pile (stack). Please keep running off at the keyboard! Love it when you do. And what you said all makes perfect sense and sounds like a good plan.I need to mix a batch of liquids tomorrow, but I'm going to have to experiment a little more than usual with my two main flavors.

Oh man, love the one on the right. And what a great use. You're trying to derail my Stanley plans aren't you?
The RBAs are the hardest because of all the little pieces that have to be matched back up after cleaning. And, I can't just throw them together or I'll forget which is which.
Some stuff comes in boxes (that take up too much space). But, a lot of stuff (especially from FT) just comes in little bags. But, I think I'm making some headway now. I can't really finish until I've gone through every bowl, box, and drawer.
Always re-adjusting how they're stored as I find new stuff or decide that I have too much mixed together in some category. I guess I'm lucky I can't afford more, or I'ld be in REAL trouble.
But, my wish list just keeps on growing!
I think she said she found them at Michael's.Oh man, love the one on the right. And what a great use. You're trying to derail my Stanley plans aren't you?
We have no Michae'ls. But also hear that there's a lot of new Star Wars stuff coming out. Yeah, right, Wally World is going to miss out on that.
ETA - Would be perfect for rebuilding stuff that doesn't easily fit into other compartmentalized boxes. Just need a little padding so it doesn't look like a Death Star opened up fire on it.
So good to see you posting, hope you get it worked out. Could also be allergies or something like that, that's been affecting a few of us lately.There I go, back to my old habit of running off at the keyboard again.
just making sure, did you see the box I put up from harbor freight? I love mine, and you can make the compartments the size you want them width wise, it's just the depth that is stationary. Scott and I think Diver use it also
here's the link in case you missed it. Toolbox Organizer with 4 Drawers
Scott got one on amazon that I think has nicer colors but I can't find the particular one. His has some burgundy

Yes, I have seen it. I think I even bookmarked it. I was thinking of something like that for all rebuilding supplies (wick, wire, tools, etc). Not sure yet.
Still working on the first step. Digging up everything I have and organizing it enough to be sure of what I have. Then, I'll have a better idea.
Actually, I guess I've been working on this for some time. I did all my DIY stuff already. I've re-arranged all my purses, shoes, clothes, and linens. I dig up one category at a time. I may feel the most pressing need for a certain category. But, what I actually end up organizing is something else. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. And, it ever so slowly falls into place.
I do have my own room now. But, I only have half the top of the closet space. So, I'm finding neat, new places for things.
It's starting to feel like maybe I don't have as much junk as I had thought. Plus, I keep finding stuff that's been missing for a while. It's a nice surprise!
amoret - run off on the keyboard all you want! It is good to have you posting again, and reading your stories never gets old.
DH, would putting the clean/dry parts in a little ziploc style bag help keep them together? I have little bags I get at Walmart or a craft store. Even the snack sized ziplocs might work.
Good morning everyone! Kind of a day off between shows. In Rhode Island, going to a bead jobber we know here to look for beads (for leashes - yea, people lie beads on their show leads. I want the judge looking at my dog, not judging my lead, but if they want it and will pay for it I will make it!). Tomorrow on to the Cape for setup for the last show of this trip. The fresh lobster for dinner last night was delicious!!!!

I just keep the things for each atty in a ziplock big enough to hold them with the atty itself if I decide to stop using it awhile. I label the ziplock with a Sharpie & into the box it goes. For instance, I have several Kayfuns. I don't bother with the little bags of spare orings & screws, coils. I don't open them. Nothing. I just toss them, & the spare tanks into a bigger ziplock that is marked Kayfun, & into the box they go. That's where I go anytime I need a new oring, screw, replacement tank, OCC Coil, whatever. I just use a small box with a magnetic closure, & all the bags are labeled. If I take something apart to clean I set them on paper towels in my bathroom cupboard to dry overnight or all day, & never just leave them there. I put them back together that night or next morning & set it with the rest that I'm using or into it's bag & into the box it goes. One main bag per atty style, ie Kayfun Lite Plus, Igo-L, etc. I don't have a bunch of different atty's so it's not hard to remember which is which to know what bag to go to. If I get one I don't like, I give it to someone that does, or might, or a newbie that needs a starting place & they just get the whole bag & box it came in. The boxes they came in are kept in a larger box on the closet shelf, labeled & where I can get to it to pull it out as needed. I am kind of like you, DH, in that I have one room & one closet & a small linen closet in my bathroom. So that's it, 2 spots to look. Mixing supplies, such as they are at this point, are stored in a box in the closet in the bathroom. As soon as the weather cools a bit, & the humidity drops I have an old handcrafted tabletop tool chest that I'm going to sand down & maybe restain or clear coat & it will go on my desk & things will get consolidated into that.The RBAs are the hardest because of all the little pieces that have to be matched back up after cleaning. And, I can't just throw them together or I'll forget which is which.

Good Morning, Porchers!!
This morning, I am conducting a survey..........aw hell with that. I'm just going to ask for opinions outright.
What you y'all opinions on a starter tank for rebuilding coils? I love my Nautilus Minis, BUT, from watching videos, I'd probably wind up extremely frustrated trying to rebuild coils for those. I'm using MVPs 20W.

Me too. I put spare parts into zip-locks and label the bag so I know what atty/topper/mod the parts/tanks are for. But I use those small post-its, I write on them, them stick them in the baggie.
