I had an ipv-5. It was my first mod but I retired it because it chews through batteries (they're really tight and it has a ribbon.) I'm keeping it though, it has a special place in my cupboard. LOL. Memories...

OMG so I did the license through the portal, electronically, and (as I feared) they are like "You get 90 minutes to do it and you can't save."

1) WHYYYYY??
2) It was disappointing because I spent from 9:30 to 11:30 DOING it and I was on the PAGE before you input your credit card. (I HAD FILLED OUT the paper part FIRST even) but oh, they were all glitchy, like they told me to put a "lengthy and full" explanation of my bad "question" and they even had a page to upload my doc's letter. So, I did, then they were like "you only get 100 characters." THAT is not lengthy, nor full. LOL. The second time I just put "see attached letter, consent to you contacting my provider to verify the content of the letter, no other HIPPA information to be disclosed, implied or intended."

Also, adding my CEUs was not EASY. They had all these codes and were very sneaky about the fact that 4 was not an acceptable amount of CEU time, only 4.0. They never SAID it either, I kinda figured it out based on.... censored and my censored feelings about them. LOL. I did not smoke but man I WANTED to, desperately so I went outside and yelled at God for a while between applications. I am NOT even sending in my clinical part (which can't be done online) until they approve this one.

I hate them. Granted, I have been to a board meeting and been HORRIFIED about like the number of truly terrifying (honestly, mostly male) "therapists" like one dude slept with a CPS mom in return for giving her her KID back. OMG. I would DIE . That wasn't even his first offense.

So, perhaps mean for a reason? But, it's still OUTRAGEOUS they know FULL well I practiced for like 16 years, 10 of them HERE. Gah.

I don't even think shiny would help, I have a 2 pm phone interview with a woman who wants like 8 hours care a week, starting in August. LOL, it sounds..... RESTFUL. Heh.

Honestly though I'm glad I have my license back up and well, (HOPEFULLY) back up, I'm never deactivating it again because you just never know. Etc.

So yeah, shiny, I don't have time. I'm gonna hang here for a bit, the husband was getting VERY stressed watching me "approach" the board again... Sweet Jesus.

Also, not calling the tribe TODAY. No thanks. Seriously there is only so much trauma I can take in one day. Last night I was out listening to that "Kryptonite" song (it's kinda relevant to my life, sorta) and some Imagine Dragons, just BAWLING my eyes out.
The husband was like, all quiet "Honey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'm just stressed."
"Well you know I had to ask."
"Yep. No worries."

LOL, I believe we may be improving at dealing with each other's.. "whateverness" which is nice. I also believe he may be at the end of his rope. He's out with the dog, and it's HOT there.

View attachment 750165 Which of these 3 shinies should I build next?
My vote is for the Battlestar, of course.

Mine have SS316L, 26awg 3mm coils at about 0.80 Ohms each (10/11 wraps) for a build resistance of 0.40.

I have some SS316L 26/36 Clapton wire in a cart somewhere that I'd like to try. Gotta (1) find the vendor with the cart and (2) place the order first, tho.

Some Africa dude keeps calling me from "the US treasury Department."

LOL if only I did/didn't keep abreast of scams.

Also common sense, I can think of approximately ZERO reasons for the US treasury department to call me. I used to drive by it all the time in college and I noticed NOTHING African about it AT ALL.

Never Cougar it UP. LOL although sometimes when the kid gets stress-y about stuff, I tell him to cougar it up, but with one young enough to give me grandkids. I don't care if my daughter in law is about my age. :D

So, maybe cougar it up?

Anna
I guess if my son was seeing an older woman, I’d be okay with that. Maybe she could keep him in line.

Yeah I agree I’ll start w the Battlestar. I watched Daniels video and he used a simple round spaced 26g 316l w 3.5 ID at about .33ohms using 70/30 juice. He recommended a 3.0 ID for higher VG juice.
So I’m just going to keep it simple. That’s my specialty coil - simple lol!!

I took a couple of pics of the base and where it screws into the chamber. Thanks for taking the time to “fix” this.
I tried it with one of mine, putting the deck in without having the tabs go into the slots and got the same gap you have.

Try this, put the AFC ring back & the JFC back onto the bottom cap, leave the deck off to the side and screw the bottom back onto the chamber. Does the gap go away with no deck installed?

Were you using the ceramic plug for single coil? It has to sit perfectly flush with the top of the posts when installed and the little nubs don't always go into the holes properly.

I have not had good luck with Pioneer4You (iPV)



Not sure if I would like the button placement.

I know, I'm picky :)
Imho the last rock solid mod they made was the ipv3li.
Mine still works like a champ, if it squonked I'd break it out lol.

Ok used the c4 today, good flavor but one thing drives me crazy.
The drip tip is 810 but the oring is on the dt not the cap (like smok blah) So basically all of the matchy tips I have don't fit.
My cdo is gonna drive me crazy with no drip tip options :(.

Man the US treasury won't LEAVE ME ALONE.

I'm going to have to get a new cellphone number and a new email address here soon. Either that or actually GO to the US treasury and demand my billion dollars or whatever it is.

The last time they called, I was like "Who are you."
"It's so and so from the US Treasury department."

"Giggles. You know it's not, right? YOU know it's not. YOU are NOT. Are you? YOU KNOW it's NOT right? I mean...…."
click
Step 1: Get them to hang up on you.
Step 2: Try to figure out how to call them BACK.
Step 3: MUTUAL telephone harassment. I may play along next time, see how long I can keep them on the phone. They're calling international, and I has an unlimited plan. LOL.

Next time they call, answer, “Arizona Dept. of Corrections, Warden’s Office. How may I help you.”. If that doesn’t work, next call... “ Dude, I’ve been trying to get you. Everything’s done, but the blood is everywhere. I need you to come help me clean up so we can get these bodies dumped.”

Good idea I’ll do that but tomorrow. I’m too pooped tonight to be fiddling with it. No I don’t use the ceramic plugs I have a single deck installed on it. But it had the same gap with the dual coil deck as well.
I’ll let you know what happens. Thanks for your time!!
