Hey there Kat! Congratulations! You're doing great. Glad you got some good use of of your tuits. Mike tried the hemp after boiling it several times without letting my pan burn dry so that was a success. However, I wasn't thrilled with the taste. His tank was filled with Iffy's Janet's Heaven and we couldn't taste it at all. Tasted like hemp to me so I don't understand what the fuss was about. This was the natural hemp so it's brown. Don't know if there's a better hemp out there or not, but this one was a waste IMHO. Mike just said hemp seems to be a cr_p shoot - some of it is good and some isn't.

Koman! Doing good here in Pennsylvania - just wishing the ground hog was right and Spring actually does come early.

Deb! Nobody here would ever laugh at you - we only laugh WITH people because we've got lots of love here! Besides, if we all knew everything there would be no need to have this thread and we never would have met all the wonderful people here. As long as you get to your destination, who cares how you get there!

Very true Janet! I know no one would ever really laugh at me. I just feel like a dunce sometimes. I've always had a really hard time with math making any sense to me, my brain just doesn't work like that. And after the brain injury I had, some things are much worse. I know there are reasons for it, but I just hate it when I look at something that is super simple, and everyone else "gets" and it looks like swahili to me. lol

So I ask Janet what's all this talk today about "tuits". She 'splains to me about 'getting to it'. No wonder my honey do list is so long - I never knew what a 'tuit' is.


As to the hemp - yes it's hit or miss. Some is good some not worth it (Willie, this sound familiar from the old days?). I got some off ebay from the same seller as other folks who were saying it's the best hemp they've tried. Yuck, is all I could say. I was talking with the 'master of hemp' and mentioned I have it in white and natural. The natural is made up of 6 strands and the white 12 strands. He says to me both his white and natural are 12 strands and both taste fine. So the conclusion is the hemp I got likely came to the ebay seller from another vendor/supplier and it's different. I'll try the white and see if it's any better.

    {{{{Hugs Deb}}}} ... I think the dunce hat is permanently affixed to my head. It's so nice to be here with family that loves me even though I'm such a dunce!

    ~ Janet, ooooh thanks for telling me about the hemp taste. I had wondered about that, but I'll usually try anything once. Even ate a snail one time. Found out I do not like escargo lol.

    ~ OC - it's 5:00 SOMEWHERE....:banana::banana::banana:

    Math is swahili to everyone... I used to do mathematical type stuff for a living and still had a hard time understanding what was behind the math that we use - so do not feel bad - it is perplexing for everyone... Math is like taking a trip across the state - there are several ways to get there and as long as you make it - then the journey was good. Kind of like vaping... You just want to get to your destination - that is what counts...

    My daughter is living in Denver, I wonder if I can get any tips from her about it.

    Wondering if Janet just added a round tuit and a stick tuit for Mike to her shopping list :D

    Now don't be giving her non-vapin' ideas.

    Has anyone seen the new Kanger Protank? It is like a T3 but is made of glass and looks like a stainless tip.
    Kanger protank - YouTube

    Thanks Tex, and here I was thinking that I had all I needed and was finished ordering stuff for a while. Seems it will be another month or so before they will be out, but I am ready... AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH

    I want Glass Tanks. I have been waiting for one of my T3's plastic tanks to go toast so I could tear it apart and see if the tank could be converted to glass and now they come out with one...

    I want glass tanks too Semi. I just got an eVod...kinda wishing now I woulda waited, but I only got one. Hoping the protank & the coils for it won't be real pricey. Always something new around the bend!

    I'm still liking my T2's, especially today. Mine with the overwick is down to the very bottom, less than .3 ml left now and still vaping away with no dry hits. I'm making sure not to tilt it more than I really have to when I vape it, trying to make it get a dry hit LOL but it won't.

    I really like the cool vape with the T3's. They do kind of mute the taste of the liquid, but they vape good and my main goal is to not smoke - not find nirvana with an ultimate vape. Any vape that keeps me off of analogs is doing great for me. If this new version is as easy to rebuild as it looks then I will be stocking up on the tanks. I do not care about the batts...

    Do you mean the plastic-ish thingy around the coil? Yeah those will get a bit charred sometimes if the coil is too close to it. I'm pretty sure ya don't mean the plastic cap with the metal thingy in it. I have seen folks not know to take that off before dryburning, but you've been on here a few months so I expect you do know that.




    Howdy! Peachy here and you?

    Yea it looked plastic due to being burnt.......... Lol


    That's some kind of silica sleeve. It' purpose isn't entirely clear. Some same to help insult the pos lead from shorting others say it's to 'soak' up some of the juice an keep both leads from heating up and causing a burnt rubber grommet at the bottom.

    I do know it's not needed. When I rebuild, the 1st thing I do is throw it away. All of mine have looked scorched and burnt - don't need that 'extra' flavor added to my vape.

    Anyway I cleaned it again and doing a dry burn it pooped and is now history.. But on the bright side now that my first head finally went bad I did my usual thing.... Take it apart to see how it works, the hot lead broke right at the first coil so I unrapped it to try fixing... I may need some practice lol it works but only a .7 ohm.

    Just tried finishing up reading the thread and my eyes hurt! :)

    I think that there are a few of us who feel a little duncy at times. I certainly do! I can make something that is so simple into a complicated mess!

    Kat, thanks for your help via PM.....I was just too embarrassed to ask the most basic of questions, so Kat was kind enough to set me straight. I really should know better with the wonderful group of folks on this thread! Not once have I seen a negative remark! Just constant non-judgmental advice and humor!

    Anyway, today I received 5 of SmokTek Shorty 510/Ego Mega Dual with my vapemail! I don't know how the juice will last with the dual coil, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Yesterday the EVOD and today the Shorty.......I'm a happy vapor right now.
    I think they'll be good when running errands around town......nice and compact and they look neat and simplistic. btw...3ml.
