Is that a tool that I can get at most auto parts stores? Do you know what it's called?
Are the spark plugs down in tubes in the valve cover (that's different) If not, it's just a tool that looks like pliers (there are two kinds... let me look that up) If this is a 4 cylinder engine (I forgot... can you tell me again the year/model) might just get new wires anyway (worth it) Then you just rip them out and do it right (with the lube) Sometimes you don't have a choice.

Vaping since 8/9/2012
Megadesk complete. It is very heavy, but not too unmanageable for 1 person. I'm really satisfied with my stain choices.

It's 6'3" W x 25" D x 30" H
And the bonus prize is that it is level, all 8 legs touching too.
Beautiful! I can see lots of mixing and wicking sessions coming on that desk! Love it!

Maybe it's doing what a package of mine did from a vendor in TX. It was shipped 12/9 and took a tour of the US on the way to me. I finally got it 12/30. ;)
I ordered something from CA (where I am located) Tracking showed it went out East (Pittsburg?) and then back to CA... go figure. Someone else (out East) said the same thing... shipped to CA then back out East... I think both were USPS o_O

    That’s beautiful! I’d love to have a desk like that. I just don’t have the skills.

    Yes, they are down in tubes in the valve cover. It’s a 2011 Kia Soul. It’s a four cylinder.

    90% of the battle was designing and building legs and shelves, but I could have saved myself a lot of time and effort(but what's the fun in that?) just buying some metal legs, screwing it to the butcherblock and calling it a day. Many people just buy butcherblocks from HD, lowes, Ikea, etc. and attach them to file cabinets or metal legs.

    I bought a magnetic spark plug socket just to do this.
    That might be a good idea (never hard of that) What I do is use a spark plug socket (with the rubber grip inside to pull the plugs (you may need different extensions and maybe even a swivel) When putting the new plugs in, I use another socket without the rubber gripper... that way the socket doesn't get stuck on the plug and stay in the tube. I am very interested in this magnetic socket.

    I have a non vape package that shipped from CA that is still stuck there since November 4. It was to be a Christmas present for my daughter. Either I'll never see it at all or maybe I'll get it in time for her birthday in August.

    Hopefully you’ll get it by then.

    I saw it where a mechanic used it in a YouTube video so I checked and it wasn’t expensive so I ordered one.

    To all those DIY masters out there,quick question.

    Been using lately this:

    https://adns-grossiste.fr/en/flavours/11660-shiva-sweet-edition-concentre-ultimate-al-30ml/

    Love the throat hit i get from it's minty freshness but i need a little something on the side.

    Tried already a mix of citric aromas,some cola flavor (ewwww) and some pineapple.
    None of them really hit the spot so guys and gals got any recommendations?

    No sweet or dessert like aromas (custards,bubble gum,etc),any fruit or ''drink'' aroma that could pair well with this aroma i have been using?

    cheers
    I don't do mint, so can't be of much help unfortunately.
    But, I did enjoy looking at the website you linked.
    I spent a couple of months in Rome a couple of years ago, and had fun at vape shops there. The Italian aromas (as Europeans refer to them) were often unusual to me and very tasty.

    I just tried my SFT of WF Peach Gummy Candy. I really like it. It is really juicy and packs a lot of flavor. And despite the name, it doesn't taste sickening sweet. It has a good level of sweet to compliment the peach flavor, but not overdone. I'm pretty sure I would be fine vaping this one by itself.

    To be honest i have no idea about that website nor the store that runs it.
    Just used the link because it was the only one i could find that had an ''English'' description for the aroma i use :D

    Good morning mixers. I received another review item yesterday. The Uwell tripod. It’s an interesting little device which I think is targeting new vapers.

    Like Fran, I’m going to try to get around to trying the alpine today. Maybe try another mix also.

    The Tripod looks like an updated Caliburn, which I really liked. It is what I used to get back into MTL vaping.
