Older Folks and Vaping

[Kat56]

@Kat
What a great idea for the T2!! I'll try that on the ones I have. My problem with the T2s has been that they kept dumping juice. Not sure what's causing that. Maybe the head wasn't tightened down enough?

The only time I've had trouble with juice coming out of my T2 was back when I had the original tips that were famous for cracking. But every time I fill mine, I give the head a little twist to make sure it didn't loosen when I unscrewed the tip. Pretty sure I was doing that early on in using them.

Oh and next time I "outfit" some T2's with the bamboo overwick, I think I will use one strand. Seems 1 will be enough. Even with 2, I didn't notch the plastic cover and haven't experienced any issues with restriction.

I've noticed this a time or two also with my vivi's, but not often. Great advice though to check for this!

The eVods are like a smaller version of the T3. For some reason I like the T3 better.

Thanks Fran. Now I really have to check these out. I like my T3's but they are kinda big. I like the smaller form factor.

Call me old fashioned, but I still like the EMDCC's the best - eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer, Flat Tip

I also dabble with DIY on juice and just made one I really like. It's simple and I thought I would share it. I think that using the eJuice Me Up calculator is a must first of all (free eJuice Me Up - Best eJuice Calculator

70 PG / 30 VG
20% PA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
10% PA Peppermint
1% MTS Vape Wizard

Tom, I still like the EMDCC shortys also! Take them with me when I'm out and about!

That looks like a recipe that would appeal to my tastes!

Gracie, is it possible the plastic cap is pushed down too tight and is restricting the juice flow to the coil? Mike cut a little "V" on each side of the cap where it fits over the wick to eliminate that possibility. Just a thought.

Janet, your thoughts are always welomed to me.......thank you!

Gracie I'm pretty sure it's white. Gloria sent it to me so not 100% sure.

@Gloria...it's white, right?

OK..thanks Kat...will have to get me some of that! LOL

From early on, I made sure the T2 head was screwed on tightly and may be why I like them so much......hassle free.

With one strand rather than two.......I'll be outfitted with Bamboo for the rest of my life! LOL

Dang. They're sold out. Seems like a good thing to try.

You can get them at here https://smoktek.3dcartstores.com/Sm...a-Dual-Coil-Cartomizer--15-ohm-3ml_p_348.html




LiteCig accidentally sent me T3 heads rather than T2 heads so they graciously offered to send out the correct heads on Monday. Guess I'll be revisiting the T3s!

E mailed them last night and got a response this morning.......customer service A++

lol I'm just the opposite. If I could figure out how to put an atty head and drip tip on the juice bottle, I would! I did get an evod in yesterday because I wanted to try a bottom coil again. Dang arthritic nerve damaged hands, I can't get the thing apart to fill it, can can't find any plyers. lol I'll get it opened eventually though, and if I don't, I'll send mine to yiddle, or to you if you end up liking them.

If you are thinking about tanks, IMHO IBT really rock!!
I just knocked my EA off the table with my glass tank. 8-o
My mechanical mod and tank are doing fine, no breaking, no cracking.

Deb I don't know if this would help you or not. I also have a hard time sometimes unscrewing all these little tiny pieces from each other.

They make shelf/drawer liner that is rubbery and think...some has holes almost like large netting. I cut a square about 5 x 5 and use it like a jar opener. I can even hold onto both ends at one time with this size if I need to.

I had tried a jar opening rubber thingy, but the shelf/drawer liner material is softer/more cushie like and doesn't slip. The piece I had was from a long time ago, so I'm not sure what brand or where I might have gotten it...probably walmart. I'm gonna go look.

Edit: Aha!!! Found it, mine isn't green though. Looks like in stores only.

Thanks Kat, I've got some of that stuff and use it often! I may need to get a bigger piece since mine are circles. If nothing else I may need to get my son to get it opened once and it might be easier after that. I thought they twisted off when I got it, but they don't.

I did the samething but I glued two together. I got mine at the dollar store, you can also put on door knobs to get a grip!! Thanks Kat, we all need a little help!

Maybe they cross threaded that rascal. There is no reason for one to be that tight. Hope you can get it apart and get on to enjoying it.

 

[Debadoo]

That's a possibility, but I just have very little grip, especially on small things.

Our local grocery stores also carry a similar product in black and beige. Check the kitchen utensil shelves.

That's a great joose device! I purchase those for my v-vert kits. In fact, that's what I take out atop an eGo batt when I go fishing.

Dang. They're sold out. Seems like a good thing to try.

Check HERE @ $2.80 each plus shipping. BTW, VapingZone is one of my fav vendors.

Just be sure to insure that ya never vape 'em dry!!!

Or hold the fire button down too long or too quickly between vapes. Sisters SO burnt his that way. He learned the hard way what not to do. He was really loving it until that happened though.

Love your new siggie mattiem. (maybe it's always been there and I just now noticed LOL)

Thanks kat. I fine tuned it just a short time ago. I am thrilled that my sisters are now smoke free and want to shout it from the roof tops.

 

[Gloria]

Gracie I'm pretty sure it's white. Gloria sent it to me so not 100% sure.

@Gloria...it's white, right?

Yep....it says white on the package.

Now you got me thinking that there are probably dyes in it to make it white. Hmmmm. Next time I'll get the "natural" if I can find it.

 

[rockymtnrobin]

Mine just can in the mail, and over all color is white. But when I really study it varies in tone. And I got to say I dont think it's dyed. I have a stand of bamboo in the back and when you cut it it looks really the same. I don't see a dye lot does anyone ?

Well... with many natural fibers, diff in natual/white colors can be from being "unbleached or bleached", which I would think it would mention somewhere....?
