Random DIY mixing and More

[hittman]

The topic of vaping came up at work today. Most people I work with don’t know I vape since I have to stealth vape at work. One guy said something about flavors being bad for you and another said vaping can kill you. I jumped in and gave them a basic explanation of what’s really going on. It seemed well received. It amazes me how ignorant some people are on what is really going on.

This morning I saw a local news story that had a clip from Ohio Gov Dewine where he was going on about flavors hooking kids and the epidemic of addiction. The local news did go on to talk about the sicknesses linked to illegal street cartos and how the ban in NY was going to affect businesses with many shops revenue 90% from flavored liquid. Dewine is kind of a wormy weasely guy, it was hard to watch him talk the same rhetoric as others with little smiles on his face.
The news is coming out with the full story about the sicknesses more frequently though, not supporting it but not demonizing it nearly as much. I think more people are starting to see the drastic over-reaction that has been happening.

One can hope

That’s what most of the problem is.

Interesting since we had mech way before RBA's and RDA's were even thought of. We used cartos, carto tanks, vision and vivi novas with replaceable coil heads.

And the coil head resistance was how we controlled the watts. As crude as it was.

Crude is acceptable as long as it’s safe

I actually know the answer to this one.
The difference between now and then with the coil heads is because of all the sub-ohm resistance coils out there, with a .2 coil it is much easier to get a bad one that could drop into danger zone for your battery. Better safe than sorry situation.

My decision to buy no mechs was a good one. I just like to keep things simple......for me.

I tried getting the cap apart on two different mini hunters with no luck. I did figure out on the one I’m trying to use that I can hold the outside shell and use the tip to turn so I can adjust the airflow but it’s super hard to turn.

Glad I piffed mine away.Way to fiddley for me

I’m feeling rather stupid now. I finally figured out how to get them apart. I was trying to push the caps apart the wrong way. They are still hard to turn but at least I can get them apart now.

Mine wasn't that bad to start but broke in a little. Juice on orings helps but if you can't get it apart that could be a challenge. With mine, to adjust the airflow I would pull the top piece that is tip and afc out completely and put it back in with the airflow adjusted how I wanted.

That’s a plus but hard to turn is not acceptable

I’ll put some vg on the oring and see if it’s better. I put a single coil 1.3 in the second one and it seems pretty decent.

That's what I have in mine, too.

By the way, do you still need Zenith coils? Which ohms do you use?

I ordered several of the regular royal hunters (can’t beat $0.75 during a vapocalypse). Haven’t tried one yet but I will this weekend.

My order shipped cross country with no update at all in tracking til it got to Out for delivery.

You was right, got home to find a package waiting for me

My granddaughter(age 27) likes minty menthol, which I mix for her. Should I encourage her to stop vaping mint menthol?

I just got seven boxes in the mail today from MFS. Is someone having a sale? I like the 1.6 the most.

Just found out that the only juice I buy from a vendor is being discontinued. I asked if I could get the recipe and they said no. Apparently, they don't think the ban on flavored eliquid is going to happen.

I’m glad you asked for the recipe anyway.
