I do love a good lemon juice. Such a hard flavor to get right though.

Not really. What lemons do you have?

I got scared mine would get too hot whilst waiting seemingly forever for the negative ends to shrink up! I think I need to redo them, I don’t recall the shrinking taking SO long when I rewrapped before

Inspired by the earlier discussion here, this afternoon I decided to rewrap a battery for the first time. It took approximately four thousand years, and I'm still not entirely satisfied (the last little bit at the positive end is being crazy stubborn). I hope the battery is okay: I was waving my hair dryer over it for a long, long time. After it's had a chance to rest, I'm going to stick it in the charger and see if all the readings looking all right; then, if all seems well, I'll try it in a mod. If it works okay even with the slight ridge remaining at the positive end, I'll declare it a success. But, boy oh boy, if this didn't give me a huge incentive to continue to treat my wraps like delicate flowers, nothing will.

Still, another vaping first successfullyish completed. Where do I get the badge to sew on my sash?

I wouldn’t miss it since I only use nic salts for hubby. That’s really good to know. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check LNW today as I’ve never tried theirs

500 mls of 250 mg now in the cart! The price is right too. Thanks again!

If you wouldn't miss the th hit salts are more stable and resistant to oxidation. I buy the 250 from either LNW or NR, both are good.

Perhaps it's just from back when I first started vaping before my break, but all the ones I had back then were either way overpowering on the lemon, or you didn't get the lemon at all. It was a delicate balance that very few were able to get it right.

Glad I’m still poking around their site and didn’t press order yet!

I'm not the only one that's happy the new scale arrived.

I have that very same scale and am very happy with it (and similar kitty also very happy with her!)

Zazie, just take your hair dryer, on high, to the "slight ridge" of the wrap and it will smooth out. It'll then work in the Colossal too. When I do one I put the dryer on the highest hottest setting and it takes moments for it to shrink wrap itself around the battery.

Want another to match her?

I wish! We already have 3 and hubby has put his foot down on getting any more. Lol!

I have two cats + a dog and they all have many cool toys (plus I buy more) however when a box comes in they all are like "this is the best toy ever"! Dog gets bored the quickest but the cats, wow, they'll be in box heaven for days. Too funny, thanks for that.

Thanks! Snagged two liters of salt and a few flavors.

That’ll put me at nine liters, plus about another half.

There’s a rumor that vaping is cheaper than smoking, but I’ll be dipped if I can figure out how that works.

I use about 60mg of nicotine a day. That is 21,900mg per year. At that rate, 9.5 liters of nicotine would last me over 43 years, which would last me until I was 87. In other words if I bought that much when I was 1 year old, in '75, I would be using the last of it today.

I received the Provaris today and I was kind of bummed because I don’t have the batteries I ordered. I put an 18650 in the P3 and it works. So I guess it works w flat top batteries- cool!

Of course I have no idea how to use it but I did download a manual. I guess I’ll be fooling with it and asking all kinda of noobie questions lol!

EDIT: I didn't start smoking until I was 11 so I would still have a 10 year supply

Those of you with battery wrap woes.
I added this to an Amazon order last year and it works really well, for small stuff.
I use it for wire heat shrink too.

It is a more directed hot flow than a hair dryer, so I dont regret buying it. And it should last years no more than I need it. (Have a large for big projects)

Unfortunately the smallest size they sell is a liter which is $180! So I’m hesitant to try at such a large cost and size.
But great suggestion!

That’s really ridiculous.

Good job Zazie!! You’re braver than I am!!
