Same faults as mine Fred. You'll need a Torx T5, a T6 and a very small Phillips to open it up.
You'll undo the 510 first and pull it up with attached squonk tube. Take a good look at the way the power cables are soldered to the 510 (and cable orientation) as you pull it out because if you're not careful it'll be very hard to jam it back in. Then there are the Torx screws on the bottom of the mod and phillips in the battery sled. The ribbon cable and multipin connector to the screen is super fragile too and just overall difficult to tinker with. Good luck ! (apologies if this is grandma/ suck eggs stuff)

EDIT: also look out for juice behind the battery sled. Mine had some evry time I opened it up

Nah mate i'm not even going to bother opening this thing. I don't think anything unplugged in there...if its that stuffed inside. It went on and off again this morning. Still adjusts. That to me is a sign of the board itself.
I'll just use it as long I can....then smash it on the concrete outside.
Don't think I want to go through the long wait for another one..just so the same problem happens again. This is a typical low quality chinese designed/manufactured device.
nother lesson learnt.

It's probably just the screen itself...you can probably get a spare that fits pretty easily but don't know if it's worth it?

No, you're bang on....I joined quite early on when I first gave up the death sticks because I had lots of questions and then I wasn't very active until recently. I wish I had been.... some of the greats started on ECF back in the day....

Have a good day mate

Superb...is that a Stabwood version?

I let the tube get a brown patina and polished the rest.

I also did it with the brass one. It came out greenish.

Good morning shinies

Hoorah, la poste tells me that my tea's ready for delivery. We can't do without our loose leaf tea in our house

I know what you mean. It’s one thing I stocked up in abundance before we got locked down. I’d be insufferable without it

Weirdness here in Sydney, due to so few passengers, buses are sometimes running 15 minutes early (not so big an issue on long routes, but some routes are regular bus ever 10 or 1=5 minutes ), and having to stop and wait to waste time between stops. Travelled to mates place to pick up his PC to upgrade (finally after many months of him procrastinating to Windows 10 LTSC 2019 - not the Retail one that sadly the great unwashed are stuck with that comes with free bugs and bug updates. Picture of speed and stability is LTSC - no stupid app store either) and then take back today...so quiet out, especially with $1,000 to $11,000 fines on offer...since i was doing volunteer work for someone else who is also isolated i get an exemption. but at his place, his flatmate got home (from essential work) and said the police were stopping cars to check that any multi passenger cars were from same family....

Also have to admit that i was so tired yesterday that when i later dropped a loaner PC to them because it became obvious (via txts after i got home) they wouldnt make it through one night without his interwebs, i left my keyboard and mouse transciever dongle in it, and so came home and had no mouse or keyboard till i just dropped his upgraded PC up and snagged it back.....didnt freak out...i had a mini bluetooth keyboard with tin inbuilt trackpad from my android tv box that i used to install windows and install all his software and restore his data, worst way to do this, wouldnt recommend Didnt even attempt forum life with that thing...
You'd think being in it for over 30 years id have all these spare keyboards and mice...no, just like vaping, im not a hoarder/collector, bare minimum

Do you have those blue flowers, too? Agapanthus, I think they're called. I always admire them when they show up in the Australian TV shows I watch.

Yep we call them Aggies. They're everywhere round here on the street side of fences - very pretty flowers. Sadly often a target for young kids when the buds aren't open - perfect size/height for 8 year old boys to use as punching bags. (I did have 2 older brothers...)

Not my best work, I’m going to try again with different scissors to get that trimmed close. Still, how fun!

That's so cool Delores

Morning all.

So I looked at the coil that I didn’t use that came with my red Dot, and that was a 1.6 ohm. The holes do look smaller on them. Not sure why the SE came with .7 instead, but regardless, it vapes alright. I doubt I’d like the 1.6 even though I do a little mtl occasionally. .7 is a little restricted but not horrible.

Good morning shiners! Daughter is a little better, her boyfriend a little worse, but nothing disturbing. I did get a late night call from her that one of her best's friend's dad had to be hospitalized. He's in his 60's and on dialysis for I don't know how long. It's tough to be optimistic with that situation, and it's all getting really draining. Yesterday, I walked past a gas station/mini mart I sometimes use, and it was closed even though they're an essential service. I found out this morning it's because the owner died from Covid.

They might look nice but sometimes things like brown snakes like to hide in them, so at my parents place in the Southern Highlands, where they lined the driveway, you took special care crossing between them or working around them. You may see claims that some or all varieties repel snakes, dont believe it, maybe that myth works in other places, but not Straya!

Plus theyre kind of poisonous themselves, to humans, cats, and dogs

How to Grow Agapanthus - Daylilies in Australia

Eveyrthing in Straya is out to kill you, but we're relaxed about it, im 49, number of people i personally know who have been bitten by anything poisonous = 2 (1 Aussie, 1 Foreigner) ...Aussie was unlucky, foreigner disobeyed the universal rule...if it looks bitey, it probably is.... Both people are still with us....

I love how it puts in a zipper so effortlessly. That used to be high anxiety on a sewing machine lol.

Yeah I pass on all projects that require a zipper.

 

[chanelvaps]

Yep the very same. I've got another set in a beautiful walnut burl on the way for my BB box. Part of the reason I don't understand the angst is my very first panel purchase was from the US and it took way longer and I was also mislead by the maker. Then when the panels came the drip tips weren't there and it took about two months to get the replacements.....after much complaining....it was way worse than anything I've experienced from Alex in the Ukraine.....and around double the price

dealing with an artist has its drawbacks. They are on their own time and we just have to except that. An out of the country artist at that, makes it even worse.

GAaaaaah, I just committed to making 30 cat hammocks for a long haul cat transfer of 30 cages. OMG.
No shiny to report, so no dirty looks from the postal carrier. Vaping on this darn Fireluke tank that has made me become a slave to buying drop in coils. We will see how long that lasts before my financial sensibilities kicks in.
