Keep rubbing it in :lol:... makes me keep building. FDA backed me into a corner this time. I equated it with laundry and doing dishes...not until I HAVE to. I’m pleasantly shocked that it’s not as complicated or time consuming as I had decided it would be. And, it never occurred to me that it would appeal to my love of tinkering with things.
I know that feeling...
And the more you do it, the more complex you can go, and will want to, lol.
It's a rabbit hole unto itself...

Y’all forgot to mention how much FUN (hot, frustrating, tedious) it is to rewrap a battery. If it wasn’t new, I would have thrown it in the recycling. Or is it the wraps I got? Ends look great, but it was like getting creases out of military pants on the sides :grr:
 
Bore a hole straight through the T, the threaded section comes up where it widens and use a Velocity Mini 510 pin. You might need to increase the hole in the peek washer a little. Other pins might fit but the VMini was bang on.

Thank you, I'll try that as soon as time allows...

For me it depends. If it is on a 2 battery regulated then I like the big crazy coils. For mechanical mods i use 22-24 ga. single wires. I used the same flavor liquid at a very light amount for 3 years. Have gotten back into mixing lately though. Got that gallon of pre diluted 6mg. for $37.00 so if I ever did go to unflavored that would be the cost for 1 year. 10 cents a day...

Hopefully it does. I never quite got there. I think you will find if you start DIY you will over time start liking lighter flavorings. Premium e liquids are too much for me. I find most to be sickly sweet as well.

It gets easier with practice, what we’re you using as a heat source?

We went to the doctor when cool bath and Tylenol stopped working. Had no idea that it was Scarlet Fever. That was a 1900's thing or so we thought. It has been making a comeback. Antibiotics beat it on 2 days. Without antibiotics it can be fatal. He became very listless. He was not really there. Had to carry him in.
Very scary! Thank goodness for antibiotics!
Glorious day happy shiny people. 5 years smober today :bday:

I started vaping 5 years and a couple of weeks ago but finished the last unsatisfying and fairly gross cancerstick out of the pack and a half that I had left at about noon on 3/28/13.

$300/month smoking x 5 years = $18,000
same for my wife
we would have spent $36,000 on smoking in the last 5 years

no wonder the bills are paid up now :toast:
Congratulations to you both! Even after shinyitis, bills are paid. That's great!

    Anybody have suggestions for wta e liquid? I have been looking at Aroma E Juice unflavored. Anyone know about this or other wta's?
    Aroma's a good place to do business. Been a long time since I've bought WTA so I can't really recommend anything.

    If I'm not mistaken that's the one that had the drop rda drama.
    It was almost an exact clone of one of Brian's early prototypes he showed a pic of .
    My impression was the posts were the wrong way where you have to twist the leads.
    Not sure on the vape as i avoided it and looked at it as cloneish.
    I would recommend the drop, actually I use the nudge 24 more now. But the nudge is not as easy to build as the drop. :2c:

    I just ordered another 4 bottles of the Omba Vape Tastemaker Pure 120ml WTA 24mg to stock up on while I still can. I bought 3 bottles in early December 2017 and have used about half of that order so far.

    For me, it is terrific value as Omba Vape does not charge for shipping over a certain value. This is amazing, as I usually have to factor in anywhere between $35-50 shipping for orders from the USA.

    I mix the WTA with my other DIY liquids and find it really satisfying. Some people just vape it straight, some add a couple of drops per tank. I mix up a 30ml bottle half and half. Maybe it is psychological, but I can go for hours now and not vape, without feeling like I am going to chew my arm off. To me, that is a win.

    I believe Anna @stols001 has tried both the Aroma and the Umba Vape WTA so I am sure she will be along to offer her suggestions.
