I thought about looking at the 510 pin. I'll do that after work. It seems to depend on the battery type. But lately it's happening to every battery. I only use one tank on this mod. Will alcohol on a Qtip work?
I have never had that happen (don't have an Aegis... with I did actually) but I have had 510 center pin not pop up all the way (in my case, throws off the resistance (ohms) reading... bounces around. Have you had juice get into the 510 and/or fire button? I haven't had to resort to this... but it is possible to open up the mod (remove the batteries of course) and clean it with alcohol (and dry it well) Sure, I've cleaned the 510 on the mod (minor juice leak) Q-tip alcohol... let a little bit drip down into the 510 and then flip the mod upside down. Then push on the center pin (spring loaded) several times. This could have nothing to do with these issues... might just be a battery connection (internal and/or battery holder) I am no expert on such things... just brainstorming ;)

Sometimes when I put a new battery in it works great. Other times I get no connection and I take it out and put it back in a few times before it works. Sometimes the connection happens but when I press the button the wattages go crazy (it could be seconds but I think it’s wattage and even if it is seconds the numbers are up and down and all around). And showing varying seconds or wattage is not normal.

I looked at the battery cap and could see a tiny bit of foreign matter in one of the grooves. I took my eraser and scrubbed it down until clean. It seems to be working...for now. I’ll try the alcohol swab in a bit.

Provape always recommended 91% isopropyl alcohol (with no asitone in it) to clean provari battery connections. I always have a bottle of it on hand with those long wooden stick cotton swabs since the provari is a tube mod.

I have to admit to strawberry flavored eliquids, (strawberry daiquiri) being my favorites right behind apple pie, my ADV for the past almost 10 years.
Please tell me more about apple pie. I have TFA and getting CAP. I like a little cinnamon and vanilla (just like IRL) I also have pie crust, croissant and cookie (and caramel) I'm making a flavor order soon... any suggestions? If it's a pre-made juice, no worries... I still use a few (maybe I can clone it?)

I’m guessing super sweet (blech)... I ordered it for a recipe for the SIL. He likes sweet. It sounds like it’ll turn anything into a candy flavor. Reviews leaned towards sweet but with mouthfeel. You’ll have to ask him though, I’m unlikely to test it before sending it.

I evidently didn't sleep well last night and am experiencing what I would call mild symptoms from my second vaccine. My arm is pretty sore and muscles are achy. I have a bit of mental fog but am not sure if that's because of not sleeping well. I feel like I could get a headache. It's kind of lingering but not really coming out as a full blown headache.
Don't know if you read my post about getting my first vac yesterday. Rough day but nothing serious. I feel fine today.

I have ic with VT dark chocolate steeping atm. Once I have the chocolate where I want it SSA crisp waffle will be added for the cone and then FLV peanut butter for the nut flavor.
Ooh... that sounds good (I have close subs for those flavors) Umm... but I also have hazelnut (will try PB first)

I'm going to leave them in the original bottles and wrap them with foil to protect it from light and store in the refrigerator.
Just wanted to mention (many people mention wrapping nic bottles in foil and storing in the freezer) Doesn't make sense... the small light in the freezer (and not much time being on) shouldn't matter. Technically, it may be the UV in regular light that causes issues... not sure honestly but I'm into photography and artificial lighting and all light is not the same. No harm is using the foil... just don't put it on your head ;)

Store bought, gourmet vapors, for the past 10 years I always bought @ 18mg/ml and mixed it down to 3mg/ml but the flavors are:
Apple
Cinnamon roll

CAP apple pie by itself doesn't quite fit it for me but I did like it a lot more than the TFA. I have never been that great at diy mixing, tried a lot, failed a lot :) but I do keep trying. I think my biggest issue is I am used so little flavoring per ml that I somehow always over do it and most recipes are impossible for me to cut % down by that much.

It's an annoyingly vague name. Worse, even, than "birthday cake."

    Don't know if you read my post about getting my first vac yesterday. Rough day but nothing serious. I feel fine today.

    I got worse as the morning went on at work and ended up leaving early. I had a fever of 100.6 for a while and was up and down again last night with sweats and a really bad headache. I called in sick today. I think I’m on the mend but knew it would be pointless to go to work when I got up at 5:00 and still felt so bad.
