Thanks kico!! Appreciate that. I was really hoping mbv would be the ticket for me, but wow, still just no flavor in this hardly even after a couple weeks. Im mixing it with stuff, but still on the lookout to get juice prices down. Eventually I know I'll get into DIY, but just can't do it now.
 
I just love that lil laughin smiley guy at the computer with the coffee kico!! I saw someone else usin it and they tried to splain me how to do it. My eyes glazed over, and I looked like a deer caught in headlights. lol
LOL! I got it "from the the other guy"! Often thought one like that was needed on another forum!
It's eazy peezy: 1) put your mouse over it. 2) RIGHT click and Choose "Save Image as" 3) Stash in a folder on your 'puter!
See! If I could do it; YOU can too!
Oh - then you'll need to upload it to something like Photobucket to use here!

I swear you have to related to the other person who used that avi...you sort of have the same sense of humor!!!!!!!!!!!!
What happened to the "Like" buttons again??? Anyway ... where was I?
Oh - Yeah ...

yeah, see the upload to photobucket or sumpthin and putting it here was where they lost me.

oooooooo a coffee hot tub!!! Years ago I had some shower gel that smelled like Kahlua, but it was strong on the coffee smell. man I loved that stuff. Would get it at big lots....then of course, ya couldn't find it anymore. It smelled great in the shower, but didn't leave you smelling like a drunk! lol

Eventually I know I'll get into DIY, but just can't do it now.

When ya get ready, LMK. I think I can get ya off to an inexpen$ive $tart. Just PM me with what your nic level is and what flavs you're interested in. I'll set ya up gratis with 120ml of your nic/PG/VG level/ratio and a couple of flavs for you to experiment with.

omgggggg (((((Iffy)))))), you are such a doll!!! That's really sweet of you to offer that hun (to both of us), I will definitely be wanting to pick your brain and some other folks here, bout where to get stuff, how to mix for dummies, tools to get etc. Sweet dreams hun!

Speakin of brain pickin.....I gotta do some doctorin on my gripper. I've been using what I'm nearly certain is a sealed 510 shorty on it. Ivape.....is that what I've been using?? lol But the threads on the gripper itself now are totally stripped. So here's what I wanna know.

Can I get some kind of glue, or caulk or sumpthin, to just sorta glue the 510 shorty in the gripper threads permanently without messin stuff up? And what would be the best thing to use. Preferably not sumpthin from ebay cuz I hate using paypal for anything and don't have a paypal account. I'm thinkin if I screw the adapter in best I can, so it's making a connection, then sorta fill in around the bottom of the adapter with some kinda thick glue stuff....... ???

IDK - but me thinks something in the "gel" form so your hand isn't permanently attached too!
( Hmm - wonder what the bad news would be? )
ETA: Is the gripper made from plastic? Steel? or ???? be sure whatever you use is compatible! Our local Ace has a WIDE variety of different types of glues for various materials ...

Deb - do you have a Photobucket account set up? I'd be happy to "walk" you thru that part ...

The gripper is plastic with a rubberized coating on it. hehehe on the hand permanently attached. Just kinda wondering if there is a better fix out there, or something I haven't thought of as to why I shouldn't do that. I'm so not a modder or tinkerer when it comes to stuff like this. :facepalm:

And newp don't have a photobucket account set up. Too much more stuff to member just to put up a smiley thingy, but thanks.

Seriously - what kind of wire do yah use to wrap that coil? Can you do just ... say 4 turns of 32 gauge ... and be in the "safe" zone or do yah really have to get that meter to check it out? Just guessin at the "4" since that's what I think I saw on it! I was just so surprised I got that dumb Clearo back together and workin that now I'm thinkin I might want to putter with this type of thing.

That little rubbery piece inside the metal tube: when I popped it out - it literally popped! I felt it hit me but do you think I could find it???
Ohh Nooooooooo ... Nowhere to be seen - not even with the flashlight. Sure as shootin' - what I feared, happened ... my little buddy (avatar) found it this afternoon. I knew somethin' wasn't right as he came and sat on my foot, body language was "off" and his little mug was busy goin up and down - don't know how but it was caught on his front (???? Umm ???) canine? tooth. I was afraid of the nic that might be on it ... would he be sick? Fortunately I "gotta grip" and remembered I'd soaked it overnight! "Whew!" that was close! I'd like to think it would take more than any residue left on such a tiny piece ... but ...

Glad he's more skittish of things that move around him. I often forget myself and drop paper towels (w/ nic on 'em) into a short little basket that just fits between the cupboards where I have my coffee & nicotine station. The K-cups sort of pile up and if the basket moves a bit they fall - he jumps back!

Gosh Iffy! Your almost 1.5 years tar-bacco free! Reminds me - I was going to go add up my receipts see how much I've spent on vape vs what the 'bar' says I've saved!
 
Deb, trying to figure out what you were doing. I just leave my adapter on my gripper and only use the gripper for things that will screw into that adapter. When I want to use my stardusts I vape with something else. We need to get you set up with more than one pv to rely on!!!!!:)

Umm

OH wow Kico........glad your puppy is ok and he didn't swallow it.

Yiddle, I'm fine.....I'm using my Vtube now again. Had sort of ignored it when I got the gripper. I also left the adapter on it, and had been using only my vivi nova on it, and occasionally a phx, but one time when I tilted the vivi, the whole thing wobbled. Before when that would happen, I was able to tighten it all down, but now the adapter won't tighten down in the gripper threads. So I was thinking maybe some kind of thick glue, or epoxy or something like that to just seal around under the adapter to hold it on the gripper. I don't think it would cause air flow problems, since the vivi would attach to the adapter and it has air holes at the top.

Well, I'm thinking not even on the threads. Not explaining this well, but I'm thinking just screw on the adapter as best I can. Make sure it's making a connection.... then just apply some thick glue/caulky kinda stuff of some type to the outside of the adapter where it meets the gripper. It'll look a bit blobby, but I don't care about that. I just want it to stay put. Does that make sense? Yeah I know all the fixit fellas will be on here tomorrow and chime in. What makes em think they can just sleep??? lol
 
I'm thinking you could use something, but make sure it's only on the threads. I think if it got down on the bottom it might interrupt the flow of current from the battery to the carto :confused: Where's all those electrical genius guys when I need em?
LOL! Probably either :sleep: or busy :vapor: :p


Ok - I just HAD to add up what I've spent on vapin' vs what the counter shows I've saved. (Curious yah know; yes - it killed a cat)

I don't FEEL like I have an extra $468 in my pocket! But I can sure breathe a heck of a lot better! Dumb part is: I didn't know I couldn't breathe as well as I thought I could! I didn't include the extra $100 spent on that first kit ... If I'd found the better company to start with - I wouldn't have had to spend it! I still have 10 out of 12 batts (1 Dead; 1 Lost); plenty of juice; 3 spare Clearo's; about 8 or 9 in good working order with juice in them and maybe a dozen new carto's yet. Now that I've figured out cleaning & minor repairs ... I really could go a month w/o spending anything ...

Good Morning everyone!

I'm trying the boiled cotton yarn over-wick in a T2 this morning. Wicking and vapor production is excellent. So far, no noticeable improvement to flavor, but it doesn't impart any weird taste. When I tried the roll cotton over-wick I made before, I think I made it too thick because I got a real cotton taste with it.

Hope you all have a great day!
