When I was in my 20's my friends would call me swisher sweety due to my like for them.
Knowing what I know now, the alkaloid thing was the first few days of exclusive vaping. I vaped and vaped to get that feeling and all I did was get nic sick lol. Now I'm more than satisfied with 12mg and 0.5-0.7 ohm, 3-4 toots a shot unless I'm drinking lol then it's 18mg bobas or bust lol.
Most days that works for me no problem, however maybe once or twice a month I get that jittery feeling for anywhere from an hour to a day.
And of course it really works on me when I am desk bound and that happens like today.
Squonkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Hey Mr M - point me to that post of yours where you measure all the points on the Dibi, cos i don't want to re-read the entire thread looking for it, but i want to do a before and after when i mess with this new spring Dibby is giving out.

It's funny how everyone is different. I smoked cigs for 36 years and it was a 2 PAD habit for at least the last decade. Quit attempts? Several a decade or more ago; none lasted very long. A few days into one of them, my wife (who has never smoked tobacco) told me if I wanted to stay married, I'd better start smoking again! Heck, I'd given up on even trying to quit. Yet four days after my first puff of vape this past December, I had my last cig. Well, with one exception; about a month ago, I ran into someone I hadn't seen in five years; he went out for a cigarette and I went out with him, curious how I'd react to having one myself after 2 months of not smoking. I sorta enjoyed it at first, but by the time I was half way through it, I could feel the smoke starting to do nasty things to the tops of my lungs, and I put it out about 3/4 of the way through. I went back inside realizing that vaping is better than smoking by a long shot. I know now that if I'm desperate, I can have one, and it won't cause me to go back to smoking. But I still never go anywhere without at least two fully functional PV setups.
30 year, up to 2.5 packs a day. Sept. 22nd I bought an ego kit and haven't looked back. I don't want to know if I can smoke one or not. Vaping is a miracle in my book. I've got drawers full of gum, patches, and pills. He'll, I even got hypnotized once. Nothing worked until vaping.
Same...I was on the patch, chewing up to four packs equal to smokes in gum and still smoking. I did hypnosis too and when I was done I couldn't wait to go outside to smoke. I could never stop the habit and I would twitch to go through the motions. I've said so many times that if they would make smokes out of grass clippings I would smoke those too. But with vaping it was instantaneous. Not even a serious craving for smokes but now I jones for my ADV.

There were a few giggles when I snapped out of it. And to this day, every time I hear Safety Dance, I drop my pants and drag my bare ... across the carpet. Might be a coincidence, but I'm glad it doesn't get much air play these days. Just saying
I've made a couple nets, all turned out decent. Favorite is the cognac infused gurkah. Grape swisher net makes me nervous lol its a recon tobacco so my fear is it would bring some nic as well as gunk even worse due to flavoring. Funniest part is I can't stand grape vapes lol.
I would have to look it up also, but I just did another round of measurements playing with the little BeCu strip Peter gave me to replace the fuse with if I wanted to. I made several measurements and thought I had hit pay dirt, but reassembled stock after cleaning and the improvement I had found was still there. Seems that removing the button and cleaning all the contact surfaces did as much as the BeCu strip did in place of the relay contact I showed earlier. Here is the events as they went.
Measured battery + to brass post on the other side of the fuse. 44mV (.044V)
Measured from non battery side post of fuse to + post of an RM2. 49mV
Measured from battery - to - post of RM2 139mV
Measured from aluminum plate at far end of plate button side to - post of RM2. 20mV
Installed BeCu strip like I did the relay contact and from battery - to - post of RM2 3mV (yes a 135mV improvement!)
I cleaned the aluminum button post and screw and spring and spring seating area and reassembled with BeCu strip installed for a test to see if any more improvement could be had. 3mV
I removed the BeCu strip fully expecting to see 139mV again. 3mV!!!!!!!
Tested whole system again
SX30 battery unloaded 4.08V
SX30 battery loaded (.7 ohm coil in RM2) 3.93V
Posts of RM2 3.84V
The battery had .15V drop from internal resistance.
That is only a .09V (+-.01V on that scale) mod voltage drop with a .7 ohm coil.
Seems that all it needed was a cleaning of the aluminum, not a redesign.
The majority of the voltage drop is in the battery internal resistance, fuse, brass center post, etc to + post of RM2.
Going to replace the brass center post with copper, but don't have time today.
I am going to put some Noalox on the aluminum parts and watch it over the week.
Just chiming in while on the road to say I need one of those springs before there all claimed, I've been googling all over for silver or gold plated copper springs I'd be happy to buy my own if I could find something but haven't yet

Thanks Mr M - that's some interesting findings but means i have to clean the mod!

I was hanging out with my (smoker) friends at a bar the other night. The smell of smoke made me chain vape and I went through a couple of batteries in less than 3 hours. An hour or so after I ran out, I bummed a cig just to find out if I'm totally over it. The first few hits we're actually pretty good. I so missed that throat hit that only a cig provides but then I started feeling sick. AND THE SMELL... BLECH!!! I couldn't get rid of it even after brushing ang gargling listerine. I can't believe I spent 25 years smelling like that. I can just imagine how much worse I must've smelled around people.
Congrats to everyone! One thing I really like about vaping is that it's very sociable. I rarely spoke to anyone when I was smoking. I've never made so many friends until I started vaping. The mod is a conversation piece on its own.. LOL
