I'm still trying to hold off on all things squonk. It's a rabbit hole I'm not ready to go down. But I want to plus hanging around here really tempts me and the squonk porn thread. Someday.

This group made me get a squonk :D The Vandy vape Simple EX, cheap, very very tiny, a good discreet vape, but that plastic top cap is still a ....*r to get off!

Vintage motorcycles are the best. I would give anything for a Norton or Triumph. Unfortunately I sold mine when I got I’ll and I’m not able to ride them anymore.

Same here, in my mispent UK yoof I had the AJS, Triumph, Norton rides before they were vintage. Gave up owing to bad knees from riding too much in freezing winters <ahem> and falling off, hankered after another for years, then smashed my leg up badly .., not on a bike :cry:, so can't ride anymore. Oh the irony!

It’s been my experience that all caps are a pain to remove at fist. After a few times they loosen up, or you can remove an O ring.

You’re actually correct. She has several that she uses and these haven’t been touched probably since she bought them!! Lucky me and everyone else that wants one. Or 3!

All of my family are bikers. All my brothers own vintage Indians. A few years ago they did a road trip to the keys. Turned a lot of heads, lol.

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 figured, between myself and my SIL, we use about a liter in5 years. So, 45-50 years worth

However, the women in my family tend to live an obscenely long time - on both my father’s and mother’s side, well into their late nineties. My maternal grandma was the only one who ‘died young’ at only 85, after having cancer twice.

And I’m 56, so I don’t think I’m really hoarding. But that should keep me vaping until I’m done vaping.

They're selling so well...because they haven't been used, IMO. She probably has others that she's regularly used, but kept the new ones as an investment of sorts.

IIRC, you can still find updates for your P3 online. But it will work just fine without them.



AHA! Another motorcycle collector! Mine are all small vintage ones though, nothing larger than 80cc. :thumbs:
The P3 needs a special tool to update the software. It screws into the bottom of the mod to transfer the data.

If you want to update it, you can try emailing Bill the Provari repair guy about it. I think the updated software was on a Provape server, and if they have been shut down, you might be SOL. I would check with him. He updated several of mine after Provape closed, but during the time when the warranties were still in effect.

think this is the worst yet. a $5 coil tool kit, some horizon mesh coils and some coilology ni80 things. i might just chuck it in the bin if it ever gets here but as 'Leave the "UK"' is the last update it might be heading back east. they can keep the infernal thing.

As I said a second ago, I was at it for almost an hour, hair dryer on high the whole time. It really could be the hair dryer's fault, though. It's thirty years old and was cheap to begin with. Only 1250W. But the rest of the battery is snug and smooth, so I don't know.
Maybe it’s the wraps.

afternoon all.

Shipping up dates are like train wrecks: horrible, but who can look away?

I grabbed a z biip from fasttech and what I think are the correct coils for them. Why they don’t link them right to the pod, or at least use exactly the same name so you can properly search them, I’ll never know. I do have some that are supposed to work for it, but they’re higher ohms and I want the .48

Anyway, I have a few things in my wish list still, so if there is a sale code I’d appreciate a tag.

Storming here today, which is fine as long as the power stays on. Loads of projects to do inside, I gotta get cracking on them. I’m inspired by all the de clutter talk. :)

Any coil on the Zenith family will fit. If all you could find were the 0.5 ohm coils, those at the Plexus coils, nit the newer Plexus 3D. Don't sweat it, the regular Plexus coils are excellent and work just fine in the Biip. I think the 3D version might be a bit better, but that could also just be in my head, and in a blinded test might identify which is which only 50% of the time. But I don't have golden taste buds.

This is great on rda’s orings. I got it on Amazon it’s specifically for lubrication of food processing packaging & restaurant equipment. Someone on VU recommended it & works like a charm.
