RIP dt... dropped one time too many apparently :(. Pieces were vacuumed up. Yes, it was that bad. Many tears, it was a lovely purple marble tip. Yes, I have a bag full of the buggers, but none as lovely as this was. Ahhh, back to FT for a replacement ;)

    Shiny detour into battery land. Did you know Tesla cars use 18650 batteries?

    The most popular battery pack supplied by Tesla contains 7,104 18650 cells in 16 444 cell modules capable of storing up to 85 kWh of energy. Recently their engineers reconfigured battery packs to hold 516 cells per module for a total of 8,256 18650's. A recharge requires 20-40 minutes. Talk about fast charging batteries.

    Tesla and Panasonic created the 21700 battery. And Tesla has its own mega-factory for making 21700 cells called the Gigafactory (photo).

    I have zero clue how many batteries they make per day but I bet they are shiny!

    All Things You Need to Know about Tesla 21700 / 20700 Battery

    These are 18650's from a Tesla battery tear down.

    I only found this out a few weeks ago while googling something - amazed me too

    Way back in the beginning I started off the elaborate way, but quickly got bored with that.
    Now I just measure the percentages of the flavors with the syringe and squirt them in one by one. Then I eyeball my 60/40 PG/VG (compensate some for the PG in the flavors) and lastly I squirt in the nicotine....done.
    exactly the way I do it although I use a beaker at the end and add the vg/pg (70/30) together. I mix in the bottle I am going to be using (100ml amber)

    I'm still on the geeking front - checked out my mtl fused clapton wire today and holy crap it's fine!!! I got n80 framed staple coils with the serpent elevate and they were humungous, so I was expecting a smaller version of them.

    I got 2*30ga/40ga and I haven't even coiled with them yet, but I love them :wub: Going to make a necklace if they come in titanium :lol:

    I love the Pumper 18 and am currently fighting an urge to buy another (I already have two). The only thing stopping me is that I haven't fallen in love any of the 1-on-1s on the Asmodus site. Lightning may yet strike, though.

    I am in the same boat with trying to find a purple 1 of 1 that pops out from the pack.
    Zzzzzzzt ... I hope lightning strikes and they put up more of each. ;)

    You are welcome ;)

    Thanks Ange. I was there the day this sale started and have checked a couple times since. And still NO purple 1 of 1 Luna that screams "buy me". :-x They are down to 2 pages of Luna's. It used to be 4 or more consistently. I wonder if that will be the end of the line for 1 of 1 Luna's?
    I may have to search for another brand altogether. VA? IDK

    I can’t see how I’m going to get out of cleaning anything. I’ll still need droppers for the flavors that don’t come in dropper bottles, beakers for everything else. It’s not like I can pour the nic from a liter
    I transfer my in use nic to a chubby gorrila bottle to use with mixing :)

    Morning all.

    No incoming shiny for me today, but I woke up with the weirdest feeling that I’d hit that AsMODus sale. Fully expected to see an invoice this morning lol. I will check it out though and see if anything I want is on sale.

    I did buy a few flavors from ECX that I was running low on. And a couple new ones. I’m in the mood for something blueberry.

    I hear tell that FlavourArt blueberry is won of the best and the strongest.....Just a tiny bit is needed. I have a few different Blueberries but not that one.....it's really good when used right but if you over do it it's really meh :)

    @AngeNZ I think you will enjoy this one..
    I eventually ordered the Wismec Surface from FT. I had a $10 gift certificate, and cancelled two small orders that's been hanging there for about a month now...they keep extending the delivery time.
    Soooo, I paid an almighty $0.75 for it...;)

    but its not DIY, so I guess it don't count.
    Ah well don't mind me :cry:

    I’ll try store bought. I have some Hit That Donut I’m vaping right now. But I don’t like custards.

    I don’t have that one either. I think I have 10 different blueberries, and my issue with them is they all seem to have alcohol in them, and the flavor is too weak. I have to open air steep them to evaporate the alcohol off which loses flavor as well.

    I’m just realizing I haven’t done a lot of experimenting lately. Summer keeps me hopping. I miss it and am ready to turn the kitchen into a lab, lol.

    Delores i'm sorry I think I was referring to FA blackcurrant when I suggested it earlier.....but that leads to another point actually. And that is maybe try mixing some blackcurrant with your blueberries to concentrate the flavour :)

    Mind you i'm pretty confident that you know what you're doing with mixing...probably more than I do :D
