Random DIY mixing and More

Yes, you have the "Right Stuff". Cottonman Organic Upland Sliver is corded. It is organic but not USDA certified organic.

Organic Upland Sliver used to be Mavaton's Select. It's my preferred cotton.

Just checking.

@Zazie @NolaMel Just one for now.

Mango Custard Biscuit
INW Biscuit 1%
FA Custard Extra 1 2%
WF Island Mango 3%
VTA Shisha Mango 1%

Tasty. I’m gonna have to do more mango mixes.

There are a good number of countries who do not change their clocks and a good number who do. Infographic: Which Countries Change the Clock?

Here is a map showing which countries change their clocks.


I don't see any problem with the USA going to DST full time.

The USA has been down the path of adapting DST full time before.

Year-round daylight saving time was signed into law by President Richard Nixon in January 1974. In October 1975 Ford signed legislation reversing permanent daylight saving time.

FWIW, Daylight saving time in the US started as an energy conservation trick during World War I and became a national standard in the 1960s.

My Nauti is about empty so new mix.

Are you making spaced coils with your SS316L?

Your coils need to be spaced with TC. They cannot be contact coils.

Compressed coils (touching) don't work in TC mode. That will also give you fits with overheat and temp cutoff. The mod has to be able to read a spaced coil to control temperature.

ETA: Make sure your coil is at room temperature when you attach it to your mod so the resistance is read correctly. Also, I never lock resistance when running TC. Some mods require that. In my experience the Pico 75's do not. Same with DNA mods (in fact Evolv recommends against locking resistance).

OK. Yeah, I was using compressed coils. I always have so that's what I did with the SS.

And you mentioned in your earlier post not to have the wick too tight. I'm probably guilty of that one too. I use rayon so I'm used to cramming as much in as I can.

I tried TC a few years ago so I might have known this stuff at one time.

I copied this and your first post so I'll go back to work on it. I have a couple of tanks ready to rebuild, maybe I'll do them tonight.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help.

My pleasure. I hope you get it squared away.

And you mentioned in your earlier post not to have the wick too tight. I'm probably guilty of that one too. I use rayon so I'm used to cramming as much in as I can.

I switch off between using cotton and rayon in all my RBA's. Half are wicked with cotton and the other half rayon. In a coil using rayon I use ~1/3 more density than I would with cotton.

I guess you don't like those.

The draw was just a little too tight for me.

I liked my Clotted Berry Cream and almost posted it but the taste changed. After a couple more hits I was thinking more likely my coil. I rewicked with cotton man cotton and it tastes even better than it did at first. A simple recipe to try the clotted cream but it’s tasty. @Zazie @NolaMel
Clotted Berry Cream
SSA Clotted Cream 1.5%
FW White Cake 2%
FW Huckleberry 2.5%

Means I wouldn’t either.

I had a plan for mixing with CAP Wafer Crunch but now can't find the piece of paper. It'll turn up, eventually, of I will figure out something else for it.

Still need to mix CAP Shortbread. I'll do that as a single. It sure smells good.

Let me know what you come up with on the wafer crunch. I still haven’t tried it.

Nauti was empty so now I have Creamy cheesy strawberry/rhubard. A little sweet but not too bad.

That’s great. Did he say why he’s been absent?

Yes, but they got it wrong for a number of reasons. Standard time is the actual time as it relates to the physical world. Going to an artificial construct causes quite a few problems. This should be interesting.

What gets me is that they made the switch to year-round DST in 1974 and went back to the old way after, I think, a year. Russia had a similar experience. Given this history, why not give all-year standard a try this time around?

I did a mix today with SSA Clotted Cream, CAP Custard Cake and the new SSA Peach. Figured that would be a nice easy mix to try out those three flavors.

Cottonman cotton makes everything taste better!

Life stuff. Said he will catch up soon.

TThe USA has been down the path of adapting DST full time before.

Yeah, and people hated it.

I'll tell you one thing: I deeply hated going to school in the dark the year my family lived in England.

I have so much cotton I couldn’t bring myself to get a big pkg but I did get 4 of the $5 ones.

Will look forward to it.

I went after work and picked up my lawn chemicals for the year. I also came home and spread some preventer and some fertilizer. Time now to relax a couple hours before bed.
