Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[disallowedword]

Got out to my mailbox this evening to pick up the pair of Kanger Subtank rba v2 that have been out there since Monday.

The screw that holds the housing is probably the smallest screw I've ever seen. Lost one already. Chances of finding it are not good. I think I may have inhaled it. I went ahead and used the head with the screw missing since it's a VERY tight friction fit even without the screw.

Built a titanium coil with just 3 wraps, 0.16 ohms. It's working fine but I need to make another with more wraps to get more vapor.

The teeny little instruction sheet that comes in the teeny rba box is pretty funny too, but since it's all pictures it's actually visible.

Just looked in the subtank mini box to look at that screw and discovered they gave me 2 spares for the posts and 2 spares for the rba housing, let me know if you come up short, and I will send you one.

Congrats on the 950 days!
ETA: Congrats MikeE3 !

hey, hey, our 'milestone' dates are close ... Nov 14 will be 4 years for me.

You've already gone over 2 million minutes! 2,030,400. Cheers!

 

[clnire]

Great writeup bells! And congratulations on your quit journey. Dec 15 will be 3 years for me. Feels good, eh? Not just the health benefits, but getting that danged monkey off our backs. Yea rah!

Geez Bells ... you dang went and reminded me of my Pop. He was so proud to get an award plaque for 1,000,000,000 miles without an accident. He was an over-the-road truck driver. Back then I remembered thinking to myself ... yikes ... doing something a million times w/o a mistake.

And I guess I can consider my 2 million mark as doing something w/o a mistake too ... never had another smoke since.

Today it's been 950 days since my last cigarette. On Nov 13 it will be 1000 days. I've put it on my calendar to celebrate.

Congratulations

Lol. You put some extra zeros in there. That's a billion.

oops ... and me ... a math major in college.

I'll give it a couple days to see if that itty bitty screw shows up, then I'll take you up on that offer, thanks! I shouldn't have removed it but when I merely loosened it, the housing was very difficult to separate from the base and I thought it might be because of the screw. It wasn't. Just an extremely tight fit of the housing onto the base.

hope you didn't inhale it?

No problem. Um... captain.

 

[bigbells]

It's so small that if I don't find it I'd never know whether I inhaled it. Absolutely the tiniest screw I've ever seen.

yeah, I know it's pretty small ---- hope you find it---run a strong magnet everywhere and see if you can find it that way?

Wow! 3 to celebrate!

and now for something completely different from CAASA:
Yesterday, we sent out an email to the entire membership letting them know that this week, there were three opportunities for them to make a difference:
(1) participate in the HR 2058 Call to Action (http://cqrcengage.com/casaa/app/write-a-letter?0&engagementId=101154)
,
(2) make a comment on the Consumer Reports article (http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/health/e-cig-uspstf-advice), and
(3) make a comment on the FDA's advanced notice of proposed rulemaking regarding labeling and packaging (http://blog.casaa.org/2015/08/fda-call-to-action-submit-comments-on.html)

Thank you. I've mostly stopped checking my email since I've been in the hospital. It's really bad. So, thanks for letting me know.

I think I may have inhaled it.

Now, that's a tiny screw!

 

[FlamingoTutu]

And, no doubt, invigorating!

Invigorating is not how I'd describe it, but there was no chance I was going to doze off.

Seriously, dis is why I luv da porches. We self-deprecate our selves in order to advise, warn and educate our fellow vapers.

Oh, BTW FT...

Nice one! I'm entirely convinced all my bones are connected any more.

You know you're old when you aren't sure if got screwed or not. Those instructions are priceless.

Hey Legs, how's my neighbor ... been spending a lot of time over at the Samaritan Hosp. (hubby)
HS Juicey Peach is good too ... most of the "Peach" flavors I've tried from other company's taste "green" and/or bitter .. HS has a true ripe peach flavor.
Also, given a chance, try the Inawera Shisha Strawberry
Sorry you have to deal with Bakers direct... The Chocolate Truffle SCG, and the Coffee Mocha SCG are about the only SCG flavors I have to have, so it's easier to pick them up from VG (when in stock)


Of all the Desert Ships out there, HS has the best.
You may like the Highway like AlterUrEgo says, and also try the Indian yummy


You have good taste
I have 8 of the HS tobaccos, and I love each of them ... sure can't say that about any other company.
Usually I like one or two from each company, but trying the HS tobaccos was like hitting the Jackpot
I don't care for any of the strong "in your face", ashy, grassy or green tobacco flavors like everyone else puts out.
Back to lurk'n ... (hi Deb )

@Slots Been doing pretty good. Spent the last 2 months on the other side of the mountains. Guess thats a good thing people have been telling us it was so smokey here they couldn't even see their house from the other side of the road. I don't deal with Baker directly. I found a guy in Germany and we got a shipping method worked out with DHL. He is going to start using it on all his US orders. USPS still gets their paws on it once it hits the states but with the DHL shipping label seems to come right through and your phone is right on the shipping papers. Works out really well. Got a pretty big order from him. Took 19 days but 10 of that was in Frankfurt and ISC New York. He has a deal worked out with Baker and besides being part owner in some ecig shops in Germany he lives in Moscow and commutes once or twice a month. Got a special contract with Baker and it is bottled and labeled by Baker in German and English so pretty good. Runs 3.70 Euro for 10ml and about $15 for shipping.

hiya hunnybunz!!! You always sneak in here when I aint lookin!

Took a new bottle of nic out of the freezer and admired how clear it was two years after putting it in there. Didn't notice it was 100mg/ml instead of the usual 60mg/ml. Got the shakes (OMG, Parkinson's!), racing heart and other nic OD symptoms. Went on for several hours before I thought to check the bottle. Idiot.

Yipes!!! Glad you're ok.

Wife is gonna love the Nautilus! That istick100 ain’t quite a pocket full but pretty close, they vented the box real good and not much else I can say about it till IMR picks my huge (2 batteries) order

Kewl! IMR? Is this a place to get IMR batteries direct? I know for certain I trust RTD, if IMR is in china, nevermind.

The screw that holds the housing is probably the smallest screw I've ever seen. Lost one already. Chances of finding it are not good. I think I may have inhaled it.

Yipes again! Hope not, but if you did, hope you don't find it in a day or two ick!
Wahoooooooo on nearly 1000 days!!! That's fantastic!! Thanks for the heads up on the email and sharing your response! Very well written!!
