I've discovered that the source of my leaking problems with the Bachelor tank trace back to the top seal. It wasn't the way I wicked it after all. I was able to confirm this by replacing it with a piece cut out of a roll of EPDM (a rubber like material typically used for gaskets and various other things) of a similar thickness I had stored in the garage, but it's not quite thick enough to serve as a permanent fix. I really like the Bachelor, but my time spent fiddling with it is quickly reaching the point of diminishing returns. I think I'll shelve it for now and stick with my 2 limitless tanks. They have been the easiest, cleanest and most carefree atomizers that produce both sufficient clouds and flavor that I've used to date. </rant>

Also discovered that the Notch coils do work in TC mode on my RX200. Not sure why the Cuboid kept kicking out to Power mode. The Cuboid and the RX200 usually run very close to identical to one another as far as responsiveness to my settings goes.

Where did everybody go? I took a shower. Is it my breath? It's my breath isn't it? Anybody got a Tic-Tac?

The only time that has happened to me was, when I discovered my notch coil had become slightly loose from one leg where the grub screw was no longer tight. I was still able to vape, and it was intermittent, so hard to figure out. Taught me a lesson, on other factors to look for when diagnosing problems.

The Cuboid is good for kicking out to power mode, it is actually telling you that there is something wrong with your build like Mactavish's loose leg or a loose adjustable 510 in my case.

If the resistance changes drastically for a split second the Cuboid will dump out of TC, I like how it drops the power to 20W as well.

I'll have to give everything another look. I must've missed something.

I got shot down and put in the friend zone...by my phone! I laughed so hard, I thought I would share.

First, I've never had a top of the line phone before. Well, I had a Blackberry once. It was nice at the time, but it was one of their less expensive models and nothing compared to what's available today.

Anyway, I've been trying to go through and learn how to navigate all the new features I've never experienced. It turns out the the Galaxy Note 7 has a voice recognition app similar to "Hey Google", Cortana and Siri. I had used Microsoft's Cortana and Google's app before, so I had a good idea of how it functioned. I was putting it through it's paces, seeing how accurate it was at making calls and sending texts. So I was going to use it to send my wife a test text message. I say, "Hi, Galaxy" which activates the app. When I see it is listening, I say, "Text Kathy". It responded in a female voice, but I didn't quite catch what she said. I assumed she asked me for some content to send in the text, so I say, "I love you" to which the lady in my phone immediately responded with "I treasure our friendship".

I was having flashbacks to the movie "HER" with Joaquin Phoenix. I cracked up.

She rejected my amorous advances this time, but I'm not giving up. I'm more determined than ever to win her over. After all, I really do love this phone. It's pretty amazing compared to all the cheap phones I've had in the past...starting with the Motorola flip Phone about 20+ years ago.

Bahaha :lol: yeah I have a iPhone 6 Plus which probably does a lot more than I know how to. Your new phone probably does more than mine!

As soon as they ship my SD card, I can start taking pictures in earnest. They've created a shipping label, but, for some reason, they haven't stuck it in the mail yet. I'm saving some stuff to build until it gets here.

Altoid tins were real popular since the lid was hinged.

Yep, and a lot of us used AA batteries. I should still have a mod somewhere that I made out of a 4-bay AA battery holder with a built-in on/off switch from Radio Shak... I just drilled a hole in the side and epoxied a 510 connector in it. Was pushing 6V to a carto for daaaaays... LOL. I'll have to see if I can find it and grab a pic...

I saw a TV ad for a phone that they give you a 256GB card. I remember having 1.2GB and 8.4GB hard drives because they were the limits of that Windows version. I have a Windows 98 for dummies book that says to get a 2GB drive but don't be afraid to ask for a 4GB drive because someday you will need the extra space.

rayon wicks for google
