As for vaping habits changing which @charlie1465 and @Eskie mentioned it got me thinking too. When I first quit I was very much into my RDA’s and mechs, RTA’s always caused me problems. That is until the day I finally sat down and learnt to build them properly.

Then I kind got myself into a routine of using a trouble free RTA like my Taifun or my Heron and simply accepting that was the way I was going to vape for months at a time. I think the real problem for me was the sheer drought of MTL tanks at one point. I also tended to stick to dual 18650 devices too and it sounds a shame to say I stopped using my mechs.

But things have improved greatly now and I’m more willing to enjoy a little flexibility with my RTA’s as long as I have true MTL options available to use when needed. I’ve also changed my mod habits and find myself using single 18650 or 21700 devices too because sometimes you just want to reach for that nice little mod that is comfortable to use.

I’m never going to get tired of RTA’s because I’m one of those people that likes to find out how different juices vape in a variety of tanks. It’s always fun to discover whether one might be better with fruit or a custard, and whether it will be a sweeter or denser flavour.

I’ve also got to a point where I am even going backwards in a way with RTA’s and looking for more retro design ideas and I think the new bottom fill KF Lite clone certainly prompted that. Plus the new Flash-e-vapor I got pretty much confirms that thinking. Sometime simplicity is preferable to a host of new innovations that don't always work so well.

Another change is that for the last 2-3 weeks I’ve even been using my mechs again and buying new ones. I’ve even been using my Apocalypse RDA again and I’m left wondering why I left it unused in a box for so long. Sometimes it’s really good just to vape a 0.3 ohm dual coil build and get that mouth-watering flavour and fill the room with some really dense clouds! I think I’m going to have to create a new rule for myself and keep that RDA or the Kennedy in active rotation.

I agree with you all (and any others who have joined in since Muppet's post), @Vape Muppet , @Eskie , @charlie1465 and changing vape habits.

RDA's full on. Then RTA's all the way. Currently back into RDA's big time. Into mechs again. Now squonking with my Luna thanks to all here. Have a Pulse on the way. Adding another Luna soon.

Kayfun's are my RTA of choice. They are flavor powerhouses with every flavor I've tried. Russian's too. Love my single 18650 mods.

Thanks to Muppet and his help with mechs I am looking at what to add next. Still deciding, many choices. As one of you mentioned our regulated boards will die eventually. That's just the nature of electronics. I think the mosfet mechs are fine. I would get some spare 'just in case' mosfets.
Just trying to keep things simple now.

I also got a very very welcome four-legged shiny last night She's 13 weeks old, very shy, fluffy and sweet. She's being treated for conjunctivitis, so not looking her best, but she's just awesome

Here's her adoption pic

Congrats on the new fluffy!

Long hard day. Hitting the shower and calling it quits. Turns out I have that one oddball toilet none of the flappers fit. I got the rest of the assembly with no problem, But 2 hardware stores and three flappers later, it’s running worse than before. I’m just gonna shut the water off to it until I need to flush it, until the one I ordered comes.

A major milestone has happened to me today, something that I thought would never happen for me. 5 years smoke free today.

Can someone tell me what the white things next to the DT are? Also, why would the atty work with the 510 pin in but not with the BF pin? I have obviously done something wrong. (I am new to BF stuff)

NM, I found a vid and got it figured out.

The white things are air flow control inserts. You have to figure out which one gives you the vape you want. Be sure to pop them out when you dry burn to avoid melting them.

Can't help you with the other question, unfortunately.

 

[Zazie]

P.S. I recommend checking out a video to find out more about the inserts.

Vape Mail wasn’t as exciting as I hoped but it’s a Cthulhu.... for the stash.

I think it’s exciting! It’s cute! Where did you buy from?

Here's Vic's discussion of them (around 6:20):

It hadn’t occurred to me to do anything to mine, until I started seeing the results. Lovely work, folks. I haven’t refinished any of mine yet but I may do that one day. They’re fine as is, imho, but they do look nice all shiny.

I really like the idea of doing something to make my mod prettier. I already love crafting and vaping and this brings the 2 together!

eBay - jocker10 it is kinda cute!! Im surprised it’s so small. I bought a couple of the mosfet button things on Fasttech for abt $5

 

[ChelsB]

Later this week will be epic as far as vape mail is concerned. I've gone a bit wild lately. I've got to stop shopping whilst on pain meds!
ETA: I don't even remember exactly how many orders and what I bought. I know I bought a Frenzy for the purse last night

Thanks, I found a good video. I thought it would be different for a clone but it isn't so that worked.

 

[ChelsB]

Oh, I'm never catching up from yesterday. 102 posts, nah, impossible.

Same!

I read. I did not like anything because I do not LIKE anything.

You are all just lucky to not get red Xs. RANT AHEAD.

Last night, a cockroach was in my BATHTUB. I FREAKED. I would rather find almost anything else including a dead body. I killed it super dead with my shampoo bottle and then washed everything a LOT.

This morning, I found ANOTHER SMALLER one. That one I sort of drowned a bit. it was morning. I was not moving fast. Then, I smashed it and had to like WASH everything again.

Even the kitchen is preferable. I mean... Food is dirty. That is why you wash stuff BEFORE you eat it or keep it in sealed containers or whatnot. I am ALL about the containers.

So then I came home in full Robocop cleaning mode for 3 hours. You just..... You GO. I even assembled an outfit (incuding my husbanad's cowboy boots but let's face it he will never know) and like a bandana type thing and whatever, for when I got to the roach part.

I found my recipes which is cool actually. Because, I am not mixing anything NOW. With my luck I would turn away and a cockroach would be floating in my vat of VG.

So yeah, I have a jillion things to iron but I need to sit a minute. THEN I got to thinking about HOW inappropriate it is HEAD DOC is mediating our conflict when he HIMSELF was included in the complaint. I also would like proof of his mediation skills that he has exercised on "THOUSANDS of occasions. Really."

HE said this. He accuses ME of drama. BLEUGH. Maybe he doesn't like it because he is such a DRAMA queen himself he doesn't want anyone else vying for the title.

I need to find a polite or at least non firable way of discovery as to "is this normal for this kind of HR complaint and if not, why not. I wrote an email. I did not send it as I feel my questions may better serve me via phone call, at least then there is not written record.

YEEAH I'm getting a bit ...... off. He's so... smarmy.

I HATE SMARMY people worse than sociopaths, probably. He is also a manipulator. I have spoken to other new employees who like think "He showed this tragic video to see who would cry." Only no one will actually say like if it's good or bad we are all confused.

I'm calling my HR rep. I have some very pointed questions about the THOUSANDS of mediations he has been in particularly the one where all the other docs revolted at evil doc and he had to go back to MY site. Did he email them all about "finding where they went wrong and admitting fault?"

I bet NOT.

Anwyay, I will be lucky if I iron even but I want to. It's getting to late for Roach Death Anna vs. Roaches and I'm scared I'll get the twitches. But if I iron. I can just come home tomorrow and do it.

I will be thinking about my two favorite docs the whole time.

THEN my stabilized wood Lustro 200 isn't working!!! I have had it through ONE battery change. I put in the batteries, it asked me the married question but the screen doesn't register. No matter how many times I put yes or no, the screen is frozen.

Between it and the colossal (DOA) I am done with this mod company. I want a REFUND not a warranty so I can buy a dani box with the big battery.

Stabilized wood sucks, anyway.

Red x me all you want my husband could do better with REGULAR wood. I realize y'all aren't married to such a talented artist as me but even if it's made out of IDK CARDBOARD BOXES the mod is pretty worthless if it don't vape.

Red X me. I don't even care.

LOL Sorry.
Anna
