I use a printer "driver" that prints it out to a pdf, so I can reprint as needed, and insurance in case they drop it off the web site. Do that with a lot of stuff I want to keep easily accessible. There are several such programs, free. :) Foxit Reader and Nitro have both free and paid versions - the paid ones in general give more ability to edit the pdf.

Safari has an Export as PDF option. Works OK. I can also just highlight and copy the article including pictures and paste it to a word document (then I can even edit it, not that I'd want to).

63 here this april, how can I join your group? vaping since 2010

Hey there rthom! Welcome to the porch? Get nice and comfy because we're usually a talkative bunch! Best way to learn about all the new things coming out. Sorry the welcome is so late, but it took me awhile to catch up. So, you got started vaping before I even knew what vaping was. Why and how did you get started?


it's good to learn new things. :)
Speaking of which....
Anyone have a good recipe for a nice Cherry eliquid? Mine are always.. Off.

I wish! Every cherry eliquid I've ever had leaves me with a metallic taste and it drives me crazy.

So, has no one here ever used a Terminator-C?

I didn't even know what it was till I looked it up. Sorry, don't know anything about that one.

Been reading a lot of folks say they really like the Nuppin... and the Derringer, and the Odin, and the Dark Horse, and the....... (can ya tell I've been "shopping drippers"? :D) seems to be a lot of "good ones" out there right now.

Glad you had a nice Easter! That's great for your brother's SO, hopefully he'll give it another shot at some point. Yeah, I'm hearing a lot of great things about the freakshow mini, and the rogue also.

How about the Odysseus? The Terminator-C is basically a clone of the Odysseus.

Oh, well. I always get hardware that's very outdated. It's a lot cheaper that way. But, it's also so outdated that I can't get any help with it.

Did you try youtube videos? There were a couple for the Terminator C and some for Odysseus as well. I don't know anything about either. Didn't watch this, but found it

I'm glad I have both the Atlantis and the Nautilus and don't have to pick one or the other. Sometimes I want the free air flow of the Atlantis and other times I prefer the very ample but more restricted air flow of the Nautilus. I'm firmly in the middle at this time, switching between the two and not worrying about deciding which one I like better.

At the moment I'm feeling like maybe I get more flavor from the Nautilus. That makes sense considering that I'm doing mouth-to-lung with the Nautilus and much more direct-to-lung with the Atlantis, and my mouth is where my taste buds are. But it's also true that the vapor from the Nautilus has a higher percentage of flavor in it than the Atlantis. The butterfly valve is full open with the Atlantis, mixing more air with the fuel and reducing the flavor percentage. (Butterfly valves are found on carburetors, in case anyone doesn't know... don't want anyone tearing apart their Atlantis looking for the butterfly valve. :p )

I've absolutely made up my mind that I have absolutely no reason to make up my mind.

I agree, it's good to have options, variety the spice of life and all that.

More pragmatically, some flavors just taste better with different airflow, not just different power settings.

Darn, I was just going to ask if the next iteration of the Atlantis would come with fuel injection... :blink:

Thanks Kenna, I'll try that. We have honey and ACV. But... what's "with the Mother"? A picture on the label of a certain brand? ('scuse my ignorance :))



Been reading a lot of folks say they really like the Nuppin... and the Derringer, and the Odin, and the Dark Horse, and the....... (can ya tell I've been "shopping drippers"? :D) seems to be a lot of "good ones" out there right now.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, we did. Took a road trip to my Mom's, had a fine Easter Sunday meal, my brother and I fixed one of her smoke detectors, oiled her sewing machine, installed a new shower head, I got here printer working, etc. Obviously, she'd been saving up "honey do's" for a while. :)

Unfortunately, my brother has gone back to cigs. His SO also quit using their ecigs but she did not go back to analogs... she quit everything, and is doing very well with it! Said there were no temptations at all.

Later gators, ciao y'all...

The Mother is in the purest form of ACV, before it's been strained to death. You can tell because it's cloudy & there will be a sediment in the bottom of the bottle which is all the good stuff that you want for your digestive system. Your whole digestive syste will work better, starting with your mouth. You can also add a little fresh lemon juice to the vinegar & honey. Start with an 8 oz glass, 1 Tbsp of ACV, 1/2 tbsp honey, & squeeze a slice of fresh lemon in it. Top off the glas with water, swish around in your mouth before each swallow. And try to swallow in a way that makes it go past that lump in your throat. After a day or so, when you get used to the taste, increase the ACV to 2 Tbsp. I actually start liking it & will add ice & just drink it for a change from plain water. It's really good for you. This is what I use, just about any grocery store carries it. http://www.amazon.com/Bragg-Apple-C...428377217&sr=1-1&keywords=apple+cider+vinegar

I was also gonna say walmart.com has it, or amazon, but was beat to it.......however, didn't think about the fact that they could scan the shelf label to see if they have any in the store. they're forever out of something I want. Usually my water. Will have to remember this! I ask em to go look which they also don't like.........surprised they haven't said, lemme scan it and see instead of digging in the back room. Sometimes they do come out with some.....sometimes not.......never know if they're really looking or not. lol Probably need to find a stocker or a dept head with a scanner.

Been having massive connection problems for over a day now, sorry for the delay. From that scan they can also tell you if more has been ordered and when it should be in. :)

Yeah, Mike. I personally believe that quitting is not the best thing for everyone.

I was in da doc's office a while back and complained about slowing down, memory slipping and such. His response... yeah, I get a lot of patients who quit with those problems developing.

And I thot to myself... um... huh?

At that point I thot to myself... mebbee this wasn't such a good idea. But the problem with me (since I NEVER wanted to quit) is that I found vaping tastes much better. But to those folks trying to wean themselves off the nic... you may be going in the wrong direction. I'm at 18mg and have no plans to lower it anytime soon.

I lowered mine to between 4-6, and have no issues. 3-0 and I start having problems with concentration and mood. When I'm stressed (mostly during work) I will hit some of my 12.
My idea has always been to reduce to the lowest I needed, so in 15 or 20 years when I really need the increase, it won't be too hard to do.
OK, my FIRST goal was to go to zero. But life stepped in to show me that was a bad idea, and since then, this has been my goal :D

Totally agree. 0 nic just wasn't helping with clarity of mind. Last week I had panic attacks, and didn't even think of smoking. Six is doing me fine-- I get a bit of a TH when I need it.

I weaned myself down slowly and got free of the nic for several months. I thought I was fine. I take an ADD medication so that fixed the concentration problem years ago. I thought I was fine until I tried some nic again out of curiosity. Hallelujah, did I feel alive again. As in normal. The mild moodiness and depression went away. I felt great. I was using 3mg. My BP also dropped a lot, which was a very good thing because it had suddenly gone up quite high. Found out after all that your BP can go up with lack of nic. Go figure. There's a Harvard paper somewhere that mentions it. Anyway, I'm a much physically happy camper with the nic than without. It's immensely annoying that it is okay to push coffee and its caffeine as a healthy thing to consume yet be demonized for using none combustible nicotine. :glare:

I just picked up a Nuppin, and I'm liking it.
Mines a BF (bottom feeder) for the Reo, but he sells the "solid posts" for use on tubes, or other styles, for those that like to do their own dripping.
It's a tad "airy", and is a warm vape ..at least that's how I'm finding it.
It's new, with it's first build, so that opinion may change as I work with it.
In any case I'm happy with it, and may pick up another one.

over the past 6 years, studies have shown that nicotine taken away from tobacco is:
Non-addictive (same levels as cafiene)
Will temporarily increase BP, but chronically reduce it in people with high BP
Aids in focus and concentration only for people that have a less than average ammount of a certain nurotransmitter
Has no cognitive effect on people with a sufficiency of that neurotransmitter
Is a gentle anti-depressant
While a vascular constrictor, has caused increased vein developement in people with diabetes.
Has very few side effects that are negative (2 or 3, I forget which)
Easy to identify overdose due to increased heart rate and dizzyness long before actual overdose occurs.

Yeah, nicotine must be a very bad substance if it does all that :)

He, (pdib) , has several web pages here .... one for business (serious talk), and one for chatter talking
This is the serious one, and accorded to his last post on it yesterday, he only has a few left, and once they are gone, that's it, unless he decides to make another run of them. Once he posts them, they are gone within a few days. I think he had 5 SS and 16 navel brass left yesterday
Just PM him with any questions, he is good at getting back to you.

Tutu, sorry you're having bad connection issues.

I'm really likin the nuppin as well. Doffy sent it to me, and I think it was from the first run. I think I want to try a single coil build in it rather than a dual coil since I do mostly fruity juices and see if I like that better. Not sure if I'd have room to try a twisted one or not, but may give it a shot.

I posted this before, but for newbies......here's a super easy way to do twisted coils without a drill

kewl cin! Yeah I miss a lot too. Many times someone quotes a post that i've never seen. Danny is a real sweet guy, and I was so glad when i found this, cuz I don't have a drill, and not sure I (or anyone else) would trust me to use one if I did. lol I don't wear jeans, so a lot of times the pen will just slide, so I do a combo of rolling it, and just spinning it in my fingers. It does get rough on the hand, but it doesn't take too long. One time I did it til it broke and it was real loose, not sure why, but just tried again and it was very tight the other two times I've done it.
