Thanks Don and @Daniel Forsyth. Your kind words are much appreciated. I must admit that it feels like the dr's are trying to half kill you with chemo sometimes.

After escaping for the last lot of treatment all my hair decided it had had enough....so I've gone for the smooth bald look for a couple of months until my hair decides it's going to play ball again.

Have a great Sunday gentlemen

No doubt you look cool Charlie. Sending positive vibes for your day.

Yeah, I call it the Bruce Willis look. That’s the look I’m going for too. Yippee Kai Yay Mother Chucker.

So the cage is 22inches wide and 35 inches long. I don’t think it could go across the 22 inches because of the doors having to open? Mabye it could be like 12 inches wide and span the whole 35 inches ?

Yes the cages with the side doors make it hard to hang a hammock across the width. So we will hang it the length. I will make it 12x35 and we will call that the beta hammock. You can try that out and let me know how it works and I can always make another if I need to.

Good morning Shiny's

Good morning shiners and Happy Sunday, going to take another stab at DIY juice making today with 4 or 5 proven recipes. Hang in there Charlie each day now should be better than the last. Strong karma and prayers going out to you @chanelvaps .

Morning all!

Just a tiny shiny order for me at FT - a couple Artery Pal rba's and a few precoiled w/wick nr-r-nr 50 packs. Having an RBA option for a number of my devices that use Aspire BVC coils seems handy!

Is this the type of coils you got?

$3.02 Authentic Kanthal Pre-Made Wire-and-Wick for RBA (50-Pack) 50-pack - NR-R-NR / 1.5ohm at FastTech - Free Shipping

I bought one of those RBAs but I don’t have a high enough gauge wire. Premade sounds like a good idea.

Those should work fine. I bought higher ohm packs - 1.8-2.4, with wicks (silica) - I'm a very old school MTL guy!

I’ll have to look for those, just for grins.

I search for "pre-coiled nr-r-nr wicks" on FT. I've already accumulated a number of 2.4 ohm varieties with longer legs and/or wicks, so the ones I ordered this time are:
$2.55 Pre-Coiled Welded Wires w/ Wicks - NR-R-NR (50-Pack) 50-pack - 33 AWG / 1.8ohm / 1-wick at FastTech - Free Shipping
$2.56 Pre-Coiled Welded Wires w/ Wicks - NR-R-NR (50-Pack) 50-pack - 33 AWG / 1.8ohm / 4-wick at FastTech - Free Shipping
$2.59 Pre-Coiled Welded Wires w/ Wicks - NR-R-NR (50-Pack) 50-pack - 35 AWG / 2.2ohm / 4-wick at FastTech - Free Shipping

These are all small coils, probably tough for cotton users to get a wick through.

Good morning shiners! Hey, it’s Sunday, so this does count for an early morning.

Got caught up from the last day so I feel better. Fall behind around here and it’s hell to catch up. No big news in these parts, just sitting back enjoying a sunny day after the deluge of rain we had yesterday. Even the temp is good heading up to 47. Can’t complain about that for the end of January.

 

[lupinehorror]

yup

Hippovape one. Maybe that's the problem. The juice channels are huge. To fill them don't leave space for air to flow. Maybe the Artery one is better.

EDIT... I spent the last hour dissecting the inner of this little RDA. Seems I was wrong. The airflow goes from the outside up from under the coil...don't know why I even considered the juice channels into the airflow.
Anyway...from what I can see the air gets terribly restricted at the air intake and to make matters worse, the airhole under the coil is tiny. All leads up to not enough flow for sure. Not a good design. Its strictly a MTL....a very hot restricted one at that.

When and if the Artery one arrives and gets tested, I’ll let you know if it’s useable. Hope springs eternal, I guess. The one review I read on the Hippovape said he could get up to a rdl. If I can find it, I’ll post a link. Maybe there’s a trick to building the teeny suckers

Thanks! I did manage to rework a coil or two some time ago, but that was as fiddly as it gets. These RBAs are so tiny it’ll be a miracle if I can even get the coil in. I still have a couple of that style of tank and I know a couple people who rely solely on them. So if it can be done, it’ll be a big deal.

yup

I love that and would have it in a heartbeat.

 

[Don29palms]

Good morning everybody. It looks like a good day to make some Killer coils.

Good morning shnies. I just wanted to report a gratuitous purchase, as I am all stocked up except for Rose V3 tanks I must get direct from Fumytech,. The shipping sucks. Next pay period,..

I did get two more Cylons from FT because my latest one died (I can use the screws, however, to repair the old one,)

I'm kind of like Shawn Hoefer's wife when it comes to that mod. I know everyone hates it, considers it non durable, etc. I got 2.2 heavy use years out of this one and *I* killed it, for sure, I don't think *I* would have survived that drop. It was bad..

But in any case, I ADORE the vape from that mod so if I get oh 6- 8 years more vape over the three I will now have, count me happy.

IDK what it is about it either but they were super cheap. .I also got 20 more doggy trans and I'm trying some of the acrylic. For some reason the topfill break SO much easier than the bottom fill tanks. Probably, more metal or something.

But I an j putting vape bands on EVERYTHING now,. It can't hurt,, I am going for my Long Game.

It's nice to be stocked but still do that stuff sometimes.

Oddly, free shipping will make me buy MORE than expensive shipping, Certain Vendors, I am taking to YOU,. I don't mind waiting 8 weeks for a product if it is shipping for free. If you are charging me 8 bucks for that privilege I am considerably less happy LOL.

Hope the bunnies are good, you crazy lot are all well, I am fine just too busy to live.

I have the hippo vape one, and ordered the artery just now. I did see a couple videos, neither exactly the same deck. Different build methods. But they had some useful info. I’ll keep looking and post what I find.
