One thing about it ... we will know who you are when you pull up to the porch in that thing.
Dibb's on the first ride
Until then, welcome, and glad to hear you didn't give up.
We all had bumpy beginnings, and hanging in there earns you the cushy rocker.
So, plant it down, warm up the backside, and hang around, .. you'll fit right in.
Yup, don't toss anything unless it's really broken. You may be able to use it for spare parts...
But a rebuild with more wick may do it.
IIRC, Kanger's typically come with a 3 mm wick, and two 1 mm strands for flavor wick. So shoot for a little less than that to allow the cotton room to expand. It will
OK .. calling all mad scientists

They don't give a description of the taste on their site. Guess that's why I never searched their thread for juices I might like. You have to go by the reviews to get a general idea and they don't sound anything like the photos. If you want to try to make it yourself I guess you have to go by what the reviewers describe.
Day-um, now I'm envious... your IQ beats mine (but barely)!
Seriously, glad you're vaping and enjoying it all. Welcome to da finest thread on da ECF; well, this one and our BACK PORCH where we swap lies and swat flies, aka open topics.
Awesome to hear, Mike! Nice lookin' coil. Ya just talked me into gettin' off my keel and redoing my KFL.
How did ya place da XC on da upper deck? Any special technique? Have a pic?
BTW, did ya try moistening da XC, then pull and roll/twist da tip into a 'spear' point for threading?
Chances are I'll probably be gettin' back in touch wid ya with more questions as my near misses pile up.
Thanx fer day followup!
No additional pics on doing it. But I pretty much did what I remembered from some reading and videos I saw. For the coil, I left it on the drill bit, so I had something to hold onto while positioning it. I found it easier to 1st, snug down the positive side (on my R91 the neg side likes to move around, it's tricky to keep it snug on the insulator) while holding the coil over the air hole. Then obviously I did the neg side. Then I could lift the coil using the drill bit to make sure the pos lead was clear of the deck, etc.
Then after threading the wick, I pulled both end straight up and put the screwed the collar onto the deck - with the wick ends sticking out. I cut the wick ends about 3/8-1/4" higher than the collar. Next I carefully pushed the wick ends down into the assembly to close of the wick channels. This had to be done gently because the the wick diameter doesn't leave a lot of spare space in there. I didn't want to move or push the wick 'down' and cause a short. I think I cut them too long - next time I might try cutting them 'just higher' than the collar.
Good luck - wasn't as tricky as I thought - just take your time.
oh - oh, here's my PV wearing a diaper. Once before when trying a new build I didn't get the wick channel filled properly. Overnight the tank drained down through the air hole and - yuck - a mess. So until I get more confidence in 'new' builds - I make my PV wear a diaper overnight. Happy to say - last night - my PV didn't have an 'accident'.
Is that a reference to Mikes rack??? (Nice rack, Mike!!)
When I'm in doubt about potential leaks, I just put the topper into a shot glass for awhile. If it does leak, easy to see and clean. No diapers needed

Same in my KFL. I even 'fluffed out' the ends which helped a lil'.
Wrapped a 28g 1.2Ω and used some XC. Worked kinda OK. I'll just keep trying till I find the right combo and config. Thanx fer da help!
Cheaper than Pampers!

That probably would not work for me .. in a daze, if it leaked, I might think it was a shot of something else ..
You guys are cracking me up ... best night yet on the thread 
Gawd I love "us" ... Clap Clap ... next ??...

I always take the coils out before I soak them overnight in vodka, and if what's in the shot glass isn't clear, I get out the nic test kit, 'cause I may have just made some 18 mg vodka liquid.

WHOA Willie... wait a sec, let's delve into da possibilities here a bit further...
Jack Bean (vanilla)
Jack Berry (straw, black, blue, rasp, etc.)
Jack o'Latte (coffee, java)
Jack o'Lot (cocoa)
Jack o'Spades (licorice)
Jack 'Bakky (ol' habits)
Jack in da Lox (pushin' it, I know)
Jackov (vodka, folks, vodka!)
When DIY'ing, to clean the syringe, I always suck up some vodka and shoot it back into the tiny vodka bottle. It usually smells very ---- interesting after about a month of that. Thought about taking more than a tiny taste, but never had the courage.
You know, these "beverage" companies are always on the lookout for something new .. you may be onto something ..
I have fibromyalgia and figured this might be a good thread to post in, even if I'm only 54
I have a few mods that I find very uncomfortable to use. Either the metal edges "cut" into my fingers or the button is painful to press or located in an awkward location, etc. The best short term solution is eGo with a small tank, but I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require a stack of spare batteries or charging 3 or 4 times a day. Which is why I went to mods based on 18650 batteries.
Can those with similar issues chime in with what you've found that works for you?

bsoplinger welcome to our front porch
Please tell us exactly which mods are uncomfortable for you to use so we can try to help.

Hi and you're most welcome to join in here. We like youngsters like you around to keep us feeling young.
Yeah - like grandma said - what 18650 mods/PVs are you using that are giving you trouble. If we know what isn't working we can try to suggest alternatives.

Dang that's a long thread, and no I didn't read it all.
Dropped the cigs Jan 1 and started vapin.
This after smoking since I was 15, I'm 62 now.
Really liking the vapin, though I can see me spending too much money.
