Could be worse....you could be in mo. Valley like me.

What's in mo. Valley? And even if it is family why would you ever return.

But yes it does make me feel better as I was thinking I would rather be picking up the RS instead of working

Dunno why I am in such a hurry, gotta get me some 510 cartos first.

A liberal arts college ran by a Presbyterian church.. That's all I know..

If you order them from Sure Vapes, be forewarned, they take about 5 days to show up. Not a bad thing, seeing as how they are the best priced and no shipping charge, but something to note.

Both moms and assorted other family members.
Does Sam carry 510 cartos?

Hawk, Tar....Well, don't know how great of a deal this is..but I found silica and A-1 32awg Kanthal wiring here: 32 gauge A1 Kanthal resistance wire | Silica Wicks. The prices are for 10 feet of wick and 200 feet of kanthal. Pretty sure there are a couple of coupon codes that can be used. Last I read (today actually, now that I think about it) ecfdeal gets you 25% off and 10off, well it gets you 10% off. Pretty sure that's a bit high of price for that, but from what I have read, it's always in stock.

10 feet of rope seems about good for a person to have on hand, 200 of kanthal would last 1 person forever.
Think I'm probably be checking out cheesecloth and cotton gauze for wicked also and they can be had locally.
I need to check some local electrical supply places for kanthal and nichrome.

Well, yes sam does sell 510 cartos.... Don't hate me hawk, but at least you have a back up device.

I bought the mad vapes VV box mod from sam today batts and charger and VIVI nova. Its impressive to say the least and I haven't even put it thru its paces yet.

Decided it was time to do something for me so I pulled the trigger when I was there. Sorry I put you guys thru all the effort you have been putting forth.

Yeah. I may grab 1 of each just to have around. The usual EBay seller won't be available for a few more weeks, but then will have the kanthal at around $5-10 for about the same amount. Want to grab some mesh as well..saw something about a mesh/cotton hybrid thing-a-ma-bobber..

No worries on my part. Didn't mind trying to screw with that darn LT, personally..at least I know that I won't purchase another one due to the internal design and wiring..

It's all good keg...glad you hooked yourself up with a little gift. I need to see that.
I really needed to get one up and running for an emergency backup or travel mod.

We could go halvesies on the kanthal. 100 feet is probably a lifetime(or til the next new thing) supply.
I'm not sure about the ss mesh....who knows.
Did you ever say how much rope and wire were coming? I'm too lazy to go back and look.

We could..depends on if I can in on the supply that the EBay seller will put up. If I can, I am going to order a few of them and could hook it up. Also going to keep checking around for good deals, cause I know they are out there somewhere.. Deleted my bookmarks for the wiring, so I am going around blind again. Otherwise, if we decide it will be easier to just grab wire from that site, we can arrange something for sure.

I may call graybar or mcmaster and check. Also have read that rc hobby places(hobby town) may be a possibility for kanthal/nichrome.
I'm sure there are more than a few electrical supply places. Also pottery/kiln suppliers are an option.

Ill be out and about tomorrow, runing a bunch of errands, I'll probably stop by a couple of places.

Have I read that the silica needs to be flamed or boiled?

Some people do, depending on if they get that chemical taste from the silica. Don't know if boiling it would break it up too much, but I suppose we will find out

Still fiddling with the VV box. Havent had the guts to really crank it up, but its performing the way i would want and expect. Set it, and with an lnline, volts under load are 0.05 to 0.1v of what you set it at. This is on cartos of 2.4 and 3.2ohms. I tried a couple DCC's while at sam's they worked well, but dont have any in line data for them.

Without the Inline, you are adjusting to taste, but im am putting an inline on there tonight, and putting some marks on there to make adjusting on the fly abit simpler. Overall for the price if you have a set of 14500's laying around, you cant go wrong.

sweet......

And now...let the obsessive/compulsive buying begin. Think of all the things you must have to go with that...along with another for backup...lol.
I need to see that thing one day.

Ah, don't need much to go with it, got the ViVI nova but haven't filled a tank yet.

Hawk ill bring it next time I see you, I still need to check out that pile of you you got.

Tar, I hear you are the Nova expert, what is it I should know before I fire my up for the first time?
