As for da cheapie Bolts, I ordered four of 'em. I have to try 'em! My VV Grippers also got a bit o' a bad rep. Have had 'em for over six months now; no issues whatsoever.

Even if da locust invade and I have one go crap on me, I'll have some spare parts for the next possible failure.

Worse case scenario, I have some spares for my v-verts!

Thanks for the info. I had a feeling that was the case. Actually, I have enough of the cheap mods already. If anyone IS interested in a cheap mod for back-up, I love my little http://www.smokerevolt.com/18350MiniTube. It's adorable, works great, and is only $17. Plus, it's not plastic.

I've been looking at mechanical mods, like the Natural. But, the more I read about their issues, the more I think that there's no point in bothering with it unless I go all the way to a good mechanical. Not the fancy, work-of-art expensive ones. Just the basic good quality ones.

They're still a bit expensive for me. So, I wouldn't be in any rush to invest unless it started to look like I really needed to. But, if it ever does, I'll be looking into 2 really durable mods, one mechanical (like maybe a Legacy or Precise) and one VV (like a Provari). Cheapo back-ups I already have!

DH...I see that Stormy has the new 18650 mod w/the new vented tube. I emailed her about the colors as I'm stuck on black & she doesn't have that one yet. I'm holding out...seems that's my fav (at this moment).

Thanks, Gloria! I've been meaning to get one of those!

Did your carpet ever recover fully? How about your husband?

Thankfully the carpet and hubby both fully recovered from the mess I made.

...I'm very pleased that some of ya'll may enjoy my sophomoric humor attempts that might trigger an occasional internal chuckle (I prefer to trigger da ol' coffee spew). But I'm a firm and avid believer in that humor can ease many 'wounds' and/or at least lift a spirit or two.

Well ya sure keep me in stitches...frequently the "coffee spew" kind. So my spirit is often lifted by your antics. Thanks Iffy!!!

 

[Flowersoul]

Iffy.....I thank you for your service, I salute you & I looove you - you're a priceless gem!!!

Oh I couldn't have said it better!!!

Iffy, you give so much pleasure and your spirited personality is is a ray of sunshine!
Thank you for being you!

Dancing, thank you for your happy birthday wishes!

Let us know what you think when they arrive. They're so cheap that I might still buy, one at least. A hot pink mod would be fun (as long as it's cheap enough).

All the color choices make these look fun. And, people who have them do seem to really like them!

Gracie, my Fusion carto lives in one of these, and super easy to refill. The 1" tube fits the regular size Fusion

So that's where I saw them! Thanks for the link. I really do like my carto-filling tool. But, that side screw looks even more handy, especially when filling away from home.

For anybody who has trouble seeing the tiny parts for rewicking or recoiling, I'm happy to report that these glasses from Walgreens are a great help. I got the 2.5 magnification. They have an on/off switch for each light and the replaceable batteries are supposed to last about 50 hours. Foster Grant.Light Specs Plastic Lighted Reading Glasses +2.50 | Walgreens
It's a buy one get one free deal, so 2 for $25 isn't so bad. They're so comfortable that I forgot I had them on and went downstairs and wondered where the light was coming from.

Thanks, I'll give those a shot. But, you could walk around comfortably with the magnification? Or did you have them slid down to look over the top? I can't walk around with my "reading" glasses on because they make me dizzy. Be careful on the stairs!

If I think I'm going to like the juice (just by it's smell) I usually load it into a CE3 and label it. Then I can easily try it every day to see how it's tasting while it steeps.

If I don't think it's going to be a keeper, I use the atties and just add a couple of drops of 50/50 PG/VG to clear out the taste in between flavors.

Why haven't I been doing that?! I've been using one 510 to taste each juice (I have about 10 old 510 atties that I don't use for anything else anymore). I think I even read before to do this and just forgot. I have a bottle of unflavored DIY already sitting around ready to use for stealth vaping. Using it between flavors would make my testing so much simpler.

Now the CE3s I'm still working on. They seem to give lots of flavor and vapor. But, I'm still having trouble getting rid of the original metal 510 taste out of them so that they taste ok. At least, I did finally find a way to get them filled more easily even with my bad eyesight. One down, one to go. We'll see.

I buy directly from Smoktech for my cartos. I used to order from Bogetech until Bogegate hit. I still have about 350 pre Bogegate cartos I am holding onto, but I am liking the ST better. Just don't tell them you buying for personal use, I have heard that they don't like that.

How do you do that? On their website, I see minimum quanitities of 100+, no prices listed, and just a form to fill out to email them.

You may laugh at this, but this is how I test my juices. I have read that others do this, too. I just squirt a small dot of juice in the palm of my hand and lick it up. I can always tell if it's gonna be a good vape. It should taste strongish for the flavor, but it calms down when you vape it. I don't like dripping, although I have several io6's, and I do try them sometimes.

Unfortunately, I'm one of those people that has a very dry mouth (salivary glands messed up from radioactive iodine). Must be very careful to not let juice touch my mouth. It burns!!!!! I also can't eat spicy foods like normal people can either. I know, no fun.

I liked it with cola, for a vanilla coke, plus some EM. EM really brings out the flavors for me.

That sounds yummy!

That limb seems pretty safe. Don't know the resistance of my Ce4 clearos but my T3 is 2.4 to 2.6 Ohms as is my yet-unused Titan, whose coil was DOA.

I vary between 3.4 and 4.2 on mine and it's plenty. Battery lasts longer too.

This is sad. This is a comment Jason (owner of Electronicstix based in Utah) had to say about the proposed Utah law to tax sales both in-state and out-of-state via internet sales.

Good news is that it was a win for vapers in Utah this time around. Bad news is that politicians will do anything to control the people they are supposed to represent.

 

[MikeE3]

Thanx, Mike!

Just can't get rid of this sinkin' stomach feeling...

<10 minutes later...> Mike, look for a PM within a day or two. Need to run sumpin' by ya.

You should still have my email addy too, if that's better to compose your sumpin'

Wearing them like reading glasses so I can see over them. Thanks Dancing...I'll be careful on the stairs.

CRS strikes again! LOL

I used to clean out the CE3s before using them by taking them apart and giving them a quick vodka bath. Rarely bother any more. Maybe I've gotten used to the primer taste?

I recently tried the Kanger M3, thinking it might be a way to get away from the syringe filling. Meh. Plasticky taste and really don't like not being able to use a regular drip tip. So I'll stick with the CE3s for now. Anybody know where to buy them cheaply in bulk?

If so, I will buy them by the truck load. Love my little CE3's

So do both my sisters.

 

[Constance Shutts]

CE3's. Altsmoke has them in stock and Discount Vapor is out of stock for them.

Gloria I get a weird taste with the Evod...metallic or Plastky. Don't really like that clero. Sigh!

 

[Ken_A]

I don't get alastic taste on mt T3 at all. I wonder if you got a bum one.

 

[Semiretired]

Has anyone heard any late and breaking news on the date for the Kanger Pro Tank? Sun Vapors has posted prices now ($25), but it still says out of stock...

Hmmm, maybe my taster is broken, I didn't notice a funny taste with my Evod. I didn't think to clean it out when I got it either although it's probably a good idea to do that. If I buy new cookware, glasses or containers etc I always wash it before using it...

I heard on another thread that a coop will be opening in the planning thread this weekend by a really good coop host, nickname hibi.

[FranC]

Yes Hibi runs a great CoOp. Always fast,fun and friendly. Her CoOp should be in the Planning section this weekend I believe. She hopes to include the ProTank.
