I got my 500 mesh in the mail today. I was going to make a new wick for the AB but I have it working so good right now that I dont want to mess with it. The mesh came in two huge 12 x 16" sheets. I couldnt use it all if I wanted to. I will experiment this weekend with it and post up results. Hopefully chopper puts out a vid of his wick rolling process. I am not getting quite the plumes that he had in his last vid.

Hey all. Not to rain on Chopper's parade, because he is definetly on to something here. I have not really been keeping up. However when I read this post it dawned on me and I thought I would mention to keep in mind that Chopper is vaping outside in muggy VA. There is a big difference between vaping inside with humidity control and outside where the moisture in the air causes much more vapor.

Lol not to rain on Kens parade because no rain hit my parade.I get the same vapor production in both my house and work building.Which both are air conditioned.So its not muggy here on my parade float lol.

Well I guess he told you, lolol

Air-conditioned or not - I live a little over an hour away from Chopper, and I really don't think the humidity makes a difference in vapor production. There is less vapor outside if anything, as the slightest breeze will whip it away - And thats not really less vapor production - its just harder to see when you exhale because it is whipped away so fast. When its still and no wind, the clouds are just like they are inside. I may have to take a geni to the sauna now to see if it makes any diff at all...

Thats what I get for ASSuming.... The very nature of humidity is vapor. Water vapor is what vapor is. More humidity more vapor. All I have to do is walk outside and I double my vapor production.

Its all good man I had to deal with all that type of stuff when I had 2 green Iguanas and a Bearded Dragon.The Iggy's had to have high humidity while the Dragon had to have low humidity.It was a challenge keeping all that up,but I did it.

Anyone really good with computer issues?My laptop the screen keeps flickering and if someone knows anything about them.I made a video of what its doing and can send it to you.

I can take a look... Without looking tho, a flickering screen could be that the screen is on its way out, the connector from the motherboard to the screen is loose, or it could be a bad video driver needs to be reinstalled...

 

[Chopper71]

Here it is and what its doing.It starts at the bottom or at least that's where I first noticed it.Now it goes all the way up.

I'd take it to a shop to get it checked out. Here's my bad news:

It's progressing... almost definitely not a software issue. However a bad screen usually doesn't present itself like that... It could be a loose connection to the motherboard, which is an easy fix, OR the graphics chip could be overheating or failing. Since the gpu is soldered on laptop motherboards, they are the exact opposite of an easy fix...

All that having been said, this is what I gather from a 30 second video, based on my experience.

Thank you for the info.I wonder if they can do that at Best Buy?

 

[tiburonfirst]

when did you last clean the fan, chopper? fingers crossed it's an overheating issue due to dust balls, lol, or a loose connection.

unfortunately, rhonda is correct. most graphic cards are not replaceable on a lap top since they are one with the motherboard ..... hoping it's not a failing card in your case

 

[tiburonfirst]

oh my! no reply from chopper! either his display is gone or he's on the way to best buy

Yea, I was gonna order a couple of his atom bombs. I sent him a message through his website but I bet his computer has bit the dust. Does anyone know if those IMR 18650's he has will work in a gripper and a provari. I have some IMR 18650's they are not button top. Will work in the gripper but not the provari. Was hoping If I ordered a couple of those batteries they would work in both devices.

I was gonna order an ac9 and atom bomb. I bet the ac9 is a nice product, but for the difference in the price just decided to get 2 atom bombs. Money kind of tight right now.

The gripper can use flat tops, but not the Provari.

I'm here I had to bring my desk top out in the work building.My poor Sony is on its last leg I believe.I will get it fixed up though.Thanks for all the help.

Yes they will work in both devices.I have used them in my now gone Provari but that's another matter.So yes is the answer to your question and I thought I had replied back in a email,sorry if I didn't I'm usually pretty good about that.Just to clarify the Efest I have do have the nipple tops.

Chopper, just checked my spam folder also and not there. Had a couple of other questions. Would you rather me send you the message again via your website? Don't know if PM's in here is accepted or not. Would actually rather get it through my e-mail though. Mother going in hospital monday week and hospital is not in local area. Wanted to ask you about delivery in time.
