Got a couple recurves, all they had left were rainbow and gold, but I figured better ugly Recurves than none. The Pulse seems nicer than I expected. I got some 50 ml bottles also.

I love my Pulse. They are well made for how cheap they are. Ihave had mine for over a year and a half of constant use/abuse and it's still doing great. With a file and some sandpaper, you can make it a 21700 in about 5 minutes.

Now that I think about it, I never even checked how the Pulse shuts off.

Take the side panel off, look at the fire button mechanism, follow it to the right and you will see a little lever/switch. Slide that towards the battery and presto, Pulse is off.

That switch needs cleaning from time to time too for maintaining a good solid connection. An alcohol pad works wonders for that. And you may have to tighten the philips screw above the switch too. I just do that as periodic maint. Also after using mine for some time I've found taking a needle nose and slightly pinching the switch helps to maintain a solid connection to the fire button too. Easy peazy!!!

I guess while on Pulse tips, I use a pencil eraser to clean all the contacts in the Pulse (and other mechs).

Thank you. I saw the switch and wondered what it was for. Should have known lol.

I have dropped a Luna on a sidewalk. Made a tiny scratch on the bottom edge, I really have to look for it though. They’re plenty tough for me - but then I’m short, so it didn’t fall too far. I do like the 5 clicks off. I’d take the Stentorian out if it were that easy to shut off, but that push and turn is a pain. Now that I think about it, I never even checked how the Pulse shuts off.

Given the way that button is recessed and needs to be depressed, it's hard to see something jamming into it and firing the Pulse. The internal switch I leave alone after crimping it tighter with some needle nose pliers.

I accidentally got a 21700 to fit without a file or sandpaper. Didn't do the battery wrap any favors though. Don't know why I forgot it's 20700, not 21700. Must've been the old "when you have a hammer....." thing.

The Wotofo STNG MTL rda I won from 3fvape arrived --- here it is unboxed (comes with a couple coils (0.8 ohm n80 clapton, 1.2 ohm n80 coil), screw driver, hex key, spare screws/springs/orings, and a BF pin):

Here it has the included clapton installed (came in at 0.79 ohm):

And it is vaping just fine on the Luna (with just a fraction of the airhole exposed via the teardrop shaped airflow control hole on the topcap ... not shown here):

I don't much care for either of the two drip tips, so I'll try something else in a while.

Mounting a coil is dead simple with the spring loaded trapping bars --- which easily accept either right or left wrapped coils.

Cheers,
andrew

USPS says my Luna and athena squonk bottles will be here tomorrow, I'm pretty psyched about that. Hope I get a nice one.

And this shiny thing came yesterday:

It's an inexpensive model --- but didn't cost me directly as I got it using airmiles. Took a few tries to get the grind and tamp right, but I did manage to eventually coax a decent espresso shot from it. I only have a hand grinder (to use with the nanopresso when I get away from the city), but it does grind fine enough (too fine even, but I think I have adjusted to a good spot now) and I attached a cordless drill to it to save time (and arms) for all the experimentation.

My radius was here the whole time. it was cleverly packaged in a toilet paper tube which is the exact shape and size as my like, probiotics which now I need to find out what happened to THEM. I need them.

It's like brand new and it vapes fantastic. I also got my Innokin win AND my dragon ball z like "plastic tubes" but unless I am grossly mistaken about the size of that atomizer, I am not impressed. Maybe I got the TPD version? I would not be shocked. Anyway now I have lots to open and stuff. I shall. But I am exhausted. The Outside is all shiny and messed up and stuff. I have no clue how I am going to get to my psychiatrist tomorrow, SLOOWLY and leave early and take breaks probably.

And yes a rather large Crème de Vape container but I am Overwhelmed. I will open it. Soon.

I suppose I shall rise to the occasion. I am so freaking sick of doing that.

Lots to open but radius lives. I officially (even by my own count) have too many setups. I need to put some things AWAY for a bit. It's Just So Hard to decide but like, eh. It will be what it is.

Guh. I will report this evening on Flashlight vape cuz when I go to bed it will likely be dark.

It's all only a grain of salt.

That's one thing I like about this thread is its totally free of drama, hopefully it stays that way. We never see moderator clean-up here like we do in other threads.

Oh man.. the silver dicodes 21700 is 100% too beautiful for me to use. I might have to wrap it but it is so pretty! Charger (with instructions.) The MPV 5 looks great but I was sent the DL kit instead of the Zenith MTL one so I await Innokin Lexi's instructions. That's okay. I am whelmed. Officially. This sucks. Not my situation, the lack of ENERGY I have.

Don’t know if anyone has heard, but River Supply (Nic River) has closed and evacuated due to the fires.

It is just barely too small to begin wirh. I can picture it fitting with a decent Hulk Smash.

Yep. I placed a flavors order, wonder what's going to happen now?

I've found inexpensive 15 bar pump machines make just as good as an espresso as those $1000 models. And the figuring out how to get your perfect shot from it, is half the fun

The building isn't in danger, just air quality was bad. Orders will just be fulfilled a later than expected.
