goodbye
Well, after quitting the death sticks 9 months ago, my enthusiasm for vaping has grown 10 fold, and my collection is coming along just fine. I could def spend more money, but I got other tech hobbies that take $$ also. I talk to people about vaping. I use a good deal of bandwidth on YouTube. I research all the Vape companies online, and then try to get as close to what I want in one of the local vape shops. I have 3 favorite stores in the Cary/Morrisville, NC area that really treat me well. They will even special order for me, and I get a 15% or better, Military discount.

I just started sub ohm'ing yesterday and decided it was time to upgrade. Six or so months from now, I will get into sub ohm RTA's. I love technology. Especially when it is saving my life, and at the same time, allowing me to immensely enjoy the shat out of it. I got an unexpected surprise out of my foray into the sub ohm world. I love the extra warmth, and the taste of my juice is a lot better. In the nic salts world, I use 35mg juice. In the nic base world, I started with 0.6% 70/30 vg/pg. I like the way it hits my throat too. The vapes are almost creamy, but definitely smooth. A lot more cloud than anything I've done previously. Feels nice. Another great perk is, being part of this great community. It really helps to be part of one of, if not the biggest, and best vaping enthusiast forums around. Going to my first Vaping Expo next month. All sorts of giddy about it. Hoping to get some free samples worth something there.

Anyway, here are some pics. I'm lovin' my new Swag, and my new Tesla Punk 85, and my 5 new tanks.

I am not. I like the staying power of the 18650s (many other uses aside from Vapeland).
Me neither. I started down the 21700 path but then realised that if you build 0.5 ish a 18650 lasts and lasts... And it's a lovely relaxing vape :)

You have a bunch of good mods. Enjoy them. 18650's and 21700's can coexist peacefully in the same drawer, and even in the same charger.

Oh yeah. Pics. This thread is for displaying pictures of your setups. Show us a setup!

Dug up some pictures in the cellar of the 'puter of a setup I used for a fairly short time starting almost six years ago..... a Megalodon from the UK. The Don was actually a handy little pocket carry in the shorter configurations, but long, slim and tall with all the tubes that made it a candidate to lay on it's side rather that try to stand it up (extremely top heavy).

It’s a great day to use the Pumper18 while enjoying a Red Sox game and a fantastic summer day here in Boston I hope your enjoy your day.

I’m dealing with a torn ligament w an avulsion fractur at the base of my thumb. I’m SOOO glad I rebuilt and/or rewicked almost ALL of my RBAs yesterday morning. There are quite a lot those that I pick n choose RBAs and type of ejuice

I need another rba that will matchy match. The C4 matches perfectly but I’m just not thrilled with the tight air flow. I think I bought stuff in the middle of the night. My Inbox appears full. I’m afraid to look lol :shock: !!

All suggestions welcome!! :thumb::thumb:

Asmodus Pumper 18 and Nudge 22!

Dakota here is a "pinecaster", and a custom order. She'll be singing by the end of the week.

Early morning luthierin' (loo-tier-in) with a nice little setup--Wismec Sinuous P80 wearing a Nautilus 2S.
Whats the reasoning for the Jazzmaster bridge? Aesthetics or because it is a workable bridge as opposed to a lp type bridge for the height the fretboard sits above the body ?
I have a JM and love it, I enjoy its eccentricities.

Pine is very resonant, and I like to take advantage of that. The JM style bridge takes better advantage of this than either a Fender style hardtail bridge or a TOM. I flatten the heads of the adjustment posts so the bridge doesn't rock. The slender legs of the JM style bridge transfer vibration with a minimal amount of damping.

Another advantage is the fact that the JM bridge can be set to any radius, in this case 9.5". TOM bridges usually have a fixed radius, usually 12" or 16". This particular bridge is new old stock from Fender Japan. The late 80's. The good stuff.

I've used this sort of setup before with either trapeze or dobro style tailpieces Needs a bone nut to tame it a bit. In this case, I'm using a brass nut. Tons of twang! Two Lace Sensors guarantee tons of tone!
