Riverboat, based on the review comments and all of the great pictures of the ELA, the wait is terrible. However, I know that the wait will be richly rewarded. Especially, with David personally handling the final assembly.

The Giants!? This year is truly torture. Have been a Giants fan since I was 9 years old.

The boys overcame a few hurdles, last year. However, this year may be a different story. The NL West is going to be a tough one this season. Nonetheless, I will ride it out until the last pitch of the season.

I'll be right there with you man. I'm not worried about our small hitting slump, but we do need a lot of help in the pen. I just keep telling myself that at this time last year, we were 7 games back.

Perhaps, I have taken things for granted, but I never thought that we would have issues with our relievers.

Actually if you go to the MLB website you can check last years standings as of today 2012.... Your Giants where 2 out...

Your stating pitching is having alot of problems, plus no run support..I lived in Los Altos Ca for 35 years, I followed the Giants since 1970.... Lots of years suffering at Candlestick...was that place cold or what? These days I support my local team...Go D-Backs.... How about the Dodgers and YASIEL PUIG 20 games-.442 avg. 7 HRs........Where do they find these guys? A Super Star in the making!

ibtanked 25mm OCD tank. While putting this together I decided to try the LR Boges without a Crown/Kick just to see if it'd work, and surprisingly, it's not too bad. I've done the same before in my REO and the result was rather pathetic, but it seems to work pretty good in this setup (at least down to the 3.8v that this battery is at). I guess the voltage drop is just a lot less? It's not the best vape (I prefer a little warmer), but it's definitely not bad. If you're traveling or something and worried about your kick breaking or something, LR Boges are probably a safe bet.

Oh, PS, that brings me to my next question. What's the best way to remove the tarnish from the brass rings?

I really dig Flitz liquid. It's kind of like Brasso, but non-toxic and works on brass, copper, silver, nickel, and pretty much every other type of metal you can think of. Just drip a dab onto a napkin, smear a thin layer across everything you want to gleam, wait 10 seconds and wipe it off, then use a microfiber bar cloth (if you've got a Dollar Tree, you can find them there... for a dollar... and tax.) to buff until your cloth is black and your brass isn't.

I don't have my ELA yet to see how it works on that brass, but it makes a Kick look like this, anyway.

That 3.4 oz bottle I linked will probably last you a few years :) The bottle says it covers 500 sq. feet. Save your ketchup for your fries.

Staring pitching is definitely not as good this year, but they've been doing a lot better this month. It's the relievers that have been struggling more as of late. Run support is actually pretty good this year, especially considering how poorly we were scoring in years past. If I remember correctly, are (or at least we were last week) in the top 5 in NL batting avg and runs scored. As for last year, I just remember that we we around 7 back during the all-star break. Either way, NL west is still gonna be a tight race. As much as I hate the Dodgers, I have to give Puig his props; he is throwing up some nasty numbers.

For polishing the brass, Cape Cod polishing cloths are cheap and easy to find, and Mother's polish works extremely well too.

Sweeeet! Now I know what my OCD/Diver combo will look like on my ELA . . . Thanks.

Setting up a review for the ELA, prof :) ? Always loved your reviews. They helped me a lot during analog to ecig transition.

How is the eBDS hitting on the ELA? I have a eBDP, which I'm looking forward to vaping with on the ELA.

I do this with my brass parts but have left out the vinegar so far and it still works:
Jewlery cleaning DIY recipe

Ingredients for homemade jewelry cleaner:
flat pan covered in foil with the shiny side up (I used a 9×9 baking pan)
boiling water: 1 cup
vinegar: 1/2 cup
baking soda: 1 tablespoon
salt: 1 tablespoon

Setup: Gather your ingredients and line your pan with a sheet of foil (shiny side up). Lay out your dirty jewelry and have each part of the jewelry touch the foil. Not sure why this is important, but apparently it is. (Note: I cleaned my silver and 14k white gold without any problems. I don’t recommend using this cleaner on precious gems, stones, and/or pearls. Not sure what the reaction would be.)
Instructions:
Mix 1 cup of boiling water, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of baking soda together. Then slowly pour the mixture into the foil lined pan. Use a spoon if necessary to stir and reposition the jewelry.
Now comes the fun part! Slowly add the 1/2 cup of vinegar and watch it do its magic! Bubbles galore cleaning every crevice.
Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. If necessary, use a spoon to stir the salt and baking soda, and to evenly distribute the jewelry.
Rinse in water and dry. Enjoy your shiny jewelry!~

At 3.7 volts you're pulling 6+ amps, which is sure to trip a fuse like that, not to mention what you're pulling when the battery is full...
