Good morning shiners! Don, the Spade is a beauty. When you get bored of it, I'll be happy to keep it entertained for you. ;)

And today I have Don's coils arriving to play with, along with some MLK sale e juice I stocked up on.

Has anyone ever had problems with a push top cap on a unicorn/gorilla bottle that refused to come off? If not, you have something to look forward to. After all my prying, pulling, cutting, and tearing at the cap, my best advice is just go straight for a hacksaw. It isn't worth the aggravation, as the cap is useless at the end of the battle, and you'll save yourself about a half hour of cursing and screaming.
OMG yes. Solved it with garage scissors and a vice grip

I just got a text that appeared to be from fed ex, with a link to set up delivery. Seemed fishy, because it was directed to my husband, and I’m pretty sure he hasn’t ordered anything lately. So I looked and found this ...



Thought it might be useful information, what with our occasional purchases.

I LOVE Clark Howard and follow his advice all the time. It is due to him that I have frozen my credit

    You just need to have the right gear for the job, they are called shortfill cap removal tools. ;)

    I need y’alls brain power... married batteries, stored in a battery box. Pulled them out to charge to full, saw the corrosion and put them aside for recycling. I’ve checked my dual mods, no corrosion in them. None in the battery box. And it’s only on the one end of the batteries. The ends you don’t see look fine. I expected to find some evidence in a mod or corrosion

    on the battery body, but didn’t. What would cause this? I don’t have leaky tanks, or dual squonks that might lead to “wet” batteries. Help???

    I would say they got wet at some point, were they at the top or bottom of the mod? Juice can leak in behind the body and pool in strange places. The negative post of my Inbox squonker is wet on rare occasions without any signs of juice anywhere else. I assume mine is leaking from the 510 and seeping down behind the battery box.

    The problem is rust under the positive post area can retain moisture and that can conduct under the right circumstances.

    @TrollDragon is probably correct here and at any rate definitely right bout the positive pole battery.

    It could also be a leak from the positive end battery which then contaminated the negative pole next to it causing the rust. I wouldn't be too worried about the negative bat in the pic but would definitely recycle the positive one......time for new batteries here I think :(

    Stay safe :wub:

    Looks like rust to me. May be a silly question but any chance they got exposed to some got some salt or salty water?

    My guess would be simple condensation.
