I seem to have the same bag also.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I thought I was the only one.... :facepalm:

Ahahahahha! Not even klose, deary.

If you've got some'thin, chances are good that Fran and I do as well!

Aye, some, not at your levels though. Disorganized, SI!

I know that most of my 510 to Ego ones are the stainless steel ProVape ones that cost a bit of coin. :blink: :facepalm: :blush:

NOT throwing them out. I still have a few "Big P" (cough) cartos on hand, so I might want or need them someday. :D

I'm very curious about what certain terms and numbers mean and how they came to be.
Here's a few that come to mind:
RY4
18650 battery (18 x 65mm?)
510 thread
510 (and 810) drip tip (both the number and the term)
Atomizer (it's not like it actually reduces liquids to atoms)
Delrin
ceramic coil (the heating element, wick or both)
Squonk
OLED screen
Tootle puffer
Steeping (like making tea?)
Velocity deck
Fused clapton, alien, ect.
Resistance wire (what makes it different than other wire?)
PEEK insulator
Terpenes
Coil break-in (not how to, but what does it actually do)
Feel free to answer and/or ask more questions.
I'm with a number of replies here. Do your homework, son. Google fu is your best friend.

OMG... opinionated's blog is so helpful, especially the DIY stuff. "tootle puffer" is one that I doubt google would have been helpful, and cool that it started here on ECF (that's the kind of stuff I wanted to know) I know what "resistance wire is, but still want to know WHY it is (I will research that myself) This thread was not just for me (trying to help others too) Anyone else care to ask a few questions?
Actually, you be wrong....

@vaper1960 I can't speak for everyone but I wasn't trying to be glib about your questions. Most folks don't present a list of 17 questions all at once and I'm not sure if this one has been answered; the 510. The 510 connection was developed by a Chinese engineer who is employed by Joyetech. Here's a link because I don't care for typing (plus I have tendinitis).

why is the 510 connection called 510 - Google Search

I never knew that!

Never cared enough to look into it, but for some reason, I'm glad that I know it now. THANKS!

As I already explained, I thought this might become an interesting discussion (and help others) Did you even read my previous comment about this, or just jump in with the "just google it" thing?
