Random DIY mixing and More

Do you use Tapatalk on the phone? I'd guess that it's a totally different experience...

If not, it's sometimes the case that outfits will have a scaled down site for phone users, so that may apply. Or not.

I used to but as the years go by and phones are updated I just began using the browser on my phone. Not a big deal but thanks for asking.

Our main line of welders we sell are Miller Electric. We are what they call a true blue distributor which means we sell over 90+ percent Miller when it comes to machines and I’m a certified service tech with them. When I started about 25 years ago the equipment was much simpler. Now everything has half a dozen circuit boards and is computerized. I have to keep a palm pilot, laptop, and special test equipment besides the normal meters and oscilloscope to work on this stuff. Some have USB ports or card readers to load software and some you have to connect a laptop to pull error logs. It’s changed a lot over the years.

I've got a relly old powcon 3 phase DC welder at work, got it free because it didn't work, I replaced a diode for $14 and set it up for 480V (what we have) and it is bad .... I think someone tried to use it on single phase and blew the diode. I'm not real good, but O.K. for repairs on stuff.

Wow! I haven’t seen one of those in 20 years. The first job I had working on this stuff, we worked on about every major brand made. I worked on a lot of different powcon units. They had one where there was a plasma cutter built in on top. I had one that had a bad power switch and my boss then told me to wire direct around the switch. I went back to turn the 480 transformer and could hear him yelling over the sound of the conduit vibrating. He said it shot flames out the top as high as the ceiling.

That must have been something.

The neighbor lady is over with her dog so no tv for me. Her and my wife talk so loud you can’t hear yourself think.

Which Dinner Lady?

 

[Territoo]

Bet you are.

I've had my dinner, just shells and cheese with tuna, now I'm happy. Time to relax with my vapes.

Which Dinner Lady?

Lemon tart. I’m not loving the strawberry macaroon. I need to see if I can fix it so I can use it up

Question for you mix aficionados. Which kind of nut (as a nutty background) do you think would work with a tobacco mix?
I have pistachio so far, but need to broaden my range. I'm not very partial to peanut...crazy about eating it though

Hiya folks,i know i am not here that much but i don't DIY that often.

Anyway quick question for all you DIY Masters!!

When it comes to simple/single flavors like Grape,Lime,Lemon,Melon etc etc (just the one flavor profile,not mixed with anything else) is there a big variation in flavor from one brand to another brand?

Just tired of wasting money trying out new flavors i don't really like,last order which was close to 50 euros got me 2 bottles of 230ml's of e-liquid which i hate.

I have tried looking around for smaller 10mls liquids ready to go (with nic and all,no nic salt thou),i have seen a few but not really that many to choose from.
But buying a small 10ml bottle of that is just like 2,50 euros to 4 euros (depending on the brand) so that might be a way to finally see what flavors i like because so far it's a bust and each bust is really something i can't afford.
I mean a small 10ml bottle that costs me 3 or 4 euros? meh,i could spend 20 euros on 5 bottles of 5 different single flavors and that is 5 more tries i got to see if i like or don't like.

Well anyway,hope you folks having a good day
