@DebiK - I went outside this afternoon...and took a few photos of 1 of our typical, wicked-looking, central FL, late afternoon thunderstorms, since you said you liked TS. Took them after I'd already put my horse in the barn though.

Tried to put them on here for you to see, but couldn't get them to post. Tried every possible way (image icon next to smiley, upload a file from my PC, drag and drop into the reply box, etc.). :(

I think I would just move my chair LOL:lol::lol::lol:

I have my charge center on my night stand. They get plugged in overnight. I would not charge if I was not home.
Just make sure your battery mod has holes at the opposite end from your face and never use unprotected batteries.

JCinFLA, where it says Post reply, it also says upload a file. Click on that and choose the pic you want and click on it. You should see the thumbnail of the pic back here under your post, and then hit reply

Did exactly that, too, and it would load 9% of a pic and then stop. Pics are each smaller than yours above, too, so it's not a size problem.

    It's not size as in dimensions of the picture that matter. It's a 1kb file size limit, and the same "size" picture can have all sorts of resolutions and therefore file sizes.

    To upload files here I find the file, look at the file size. Most of them are pics from my iPhone and around 1.5kb. I right click the file, go to open with, go to paint, then resize. Next part is a calculated guess on what % decrease will get the file size under 1kb. Takes some practice, I usually get it in one try now.

    It can't be a 1kb limit! Seminolewind's photo is 119.89 KB, and everyone's banners in their signatures are about 11.68kb!

    I'm also pretty experienced in photo resolutions, editing, resizing, etc. after 10+ years as a seller on eBay until 2010. Always had lots of photos in my listings.

    Hey JC, the easiest way is to take the card out of your camera and put it on your PC
    or connect your phone to the PC. Open the pic file, select, copy, paste on your post.

    That upload doesn't work well. The other way is to upload your pic to someplace like tinypic.com
    then copy the url it will give you, then click the little image icon next to the smiley icon
    and enter the url. You might have to mess around with which url you get from tinypic..think it's the bottom one.

    If I order batteries from FT, I am to expect trouble for it to arrive here at my home in US? I am thinking of 10 (ten) panasonic 18650PF batteries...... Not the best CDR rating for vaping but I plan to use it for other purposes such as power tools.
    I also have some coils in the cart too. Maybe it is wise to make separate orders?

    yea, batteries from FT will for sure slow things down for you.

    Go here for batteries:

    Got the photos from my camera to laptop fine. Edited, resized, and then tried C&P into a post. Also tried the Upload a File method. Maybe they were just having a glitch the 3 times I tried? Will try again.

    If it doesn't work, which I don't see why it wouldn't seeing the LARGE image I just copied into the post above, try tinypic

    @DebiK - Here's the 2 thunderstorm pics from late yesterday afternoon's storm.

    First one is looking to the South from my yard. Second is looking to the East. Bright sun was shining from the West, and it was about 7:15PM.

    Yippee! Finally! :banana:

    Oh! To keep it on topic somewhat though...I was vaping with 1 of my little iStick Mini 10W with a PT2 Mini full of Key Lime Pie while taking the photos! Easier to do than with 1 of my bigger mods. :)

    Yeah uhh my bad on that, 1,000kb is max file size.
