    Just what exactly does it mean when FT tells you something is shipped....
    View attachment 878225

    And 4 days later USPS tracking still says this...Same thing for my 3AVAPE order
    View attachment 878227

    my usps did track a few steps, but stuck since 18th at processed-in-take-it-sleezy-miami

    on the other hand, FT does go mystic every once in while: my chinese-new-year-sale order only arrived in frankfurt a couple days ago per tracking, whereas my mid-march order arrived today even though it was placed 2 days short of a month after!

    One of my dots leaked. Jay walked me through changing the little rubber gasket right above the tank/below the DT. Worked like a charm. dotmod will send you one (known issue on a few aios), but I used the extra that came in the pack. By the time I had it changed, I decided the original wasn’t seated correctly so I saved it. It’s a tad tedious to change , but I hate leaky more than I dislike being frustrated lol

    Thanks! I hadn’t thought about changing the plug. I was just going to swap the tank, I have an extra.

    I don’t know what I’ve been doing with all this time... not fussing with my vape gear, for sure.

    I saw a bluebird in my yard today, first time for that. Also, Nikon has all their How-to videos free all month, if anyone is interested. Their site is wacky, but I managed to sign in and view two videos.

    Pull the tank out and look at the underside of the hole leading up to the DT. There’s a little gasket/lip that seals the tank to the hole. Take off dt, unscrew the metal circle the dt fits in with a dime. Replace or reseat the gasket. It’s sort of T shaped and the horizontal lip fits into a groove down there best I could figure. Ceramic build tweezers worked well to manipulate it. You’ll see what I mean when you pull it out.
    My cardinals, blue jays, mockingbirds and morning doves are all on the nest. Should see babies soon!

    goodbye
    Use 17track.net for china packages, my 3avape package shows no info on USPS, but shows as registered on 17track
    Thanks Nailz.

    Why didn't I think of that? Works like a charm for both orders. :blush:

    I don’t have any trees big enough to nest in yet. The maples are enough for the Robins, but no other takers yet.

    I have a brown-headed cowbird (I love them, plain to look at but best vocals in the universe) that seems to be looking for a nest to abandon her eggs in. That’ll be interesting.

    I put up a couple new feeders this year. If I kept them filled all the time, it’d cost more to feed them than me plus all my pets. Little gluttons.

    I still sometimes take off my cap to check when to squonk. At least with the .blank and axial RDAs, you can follow the 'if in doubt, squonk' methodology which I do ;)

    i know right it's fantabulous!
    does it seem to vape a bit diff when flooded though? not sure_

    still interested what wattage you .blank. trying to figure out the sweet spot, it's supposedly airier than what i'm used to but with the travelling AF it's got that wonderful heavy feel i loved abt the elevate! i love this. you were right abt easier wicking too. i'm vaping at 52w, 5-10 over the usual but boy does it make a diff batterywise, ran thru 2 already today. 18 and 21.

    wowo i got more wonderingses: do you get it hot at all or often? what's the maximum wraps you ever put on it?

    angeangeange_ i wanna renew my thanks on the coil front_ the first coils you recommended are what i use most, they're not just a reliable bet, i'm finding it hard to find anything better.

    I can tell you're very excited because this is the most Standard English I've ever seen in a post of yours.

    what's this supposed to mean?
    ..
    and why is yous agreeing so rushing to so?!!

    btw ppl
    i broke rank after i managed coiling on a simple jig that has nothing to fix the wire thru/in/on and the coilmaster setup was a month into restocking_ cancelled it and got this whit the blank
    https://www.fasttech.com/products/9655544

    it's got nothing to mark the size of the jigs, but knowing the range you can tell by comparison which is which. as long as i don't need to go 4mm-ID, it was fine when i tried it half-...-ed-ly. prbbly even better if i do it all serious like this fellar



    coiled it on it and spaced it on my wotofo jig coz xome reviewer said it won't be big enough to space. not sure theyre right though

    You have enough room to space a coil with just a few wraps. Good hearing you are enjoying the new setup.

    Mine are hard headed. They nest in several dwarf (10-12’ max) citrus trees next to one another. Same birds, same tree each year lol. Funniest is the cardinals and blue jays have joined forces to gang up on the mockingbirds!

    Computer peeps..HELP
    I cleaned off my desk and apparently hit something. My icons are huge and spread out. I do not know how to adjust.
    Any help?

    Hi Chanel. Try this first. Right click on the desktop screen, and click refresh in the drop down menu. If that does not work, right click on the desktop screen, and choose Display settings from the drop down menu. Scroll down to the Scale and Layout, and make sure everything is set to Recommended settings. That's all the expertise I got. Hope it helps.

    i'm taking cheechchong as a joke_ if this some sort of squonking lingo please illuminate

    yea i'm growing to like .3 thanks to being Gear-dependent for the last month or two_ on the elevate i just loved those quadcores at .26. wrapped quads myself for the .blank, either it's a bit larger than 3id or i made an extra wrap as topsidie is reading .29

    what's you're usual power_ or are you a rocket-lady?



    yea i guess it's too early to judge_ just a week or so steeping..

    i do have the flavours so i guess i can keep tryin.

    honsestly i might be ok with the 9euro/mix from dampflion, except they all contain some of the stuff we're not sure won't harm you
    Virmy dont give up on DIY!
    One thing that worked for me starting out was to find a well known clone of a retail juice I liked. Heaps of clone recipes online if you search.
    And yes - shake until the bubbles are so finely mixed in with the juice that it goes almost milky. And steep steep.
    After mixing I leave mine on a sunny window sil with the cap off for half a day - seems to accelerate the steeping.

    That's the sort of thing Albert does if there's a problem or lost package....he's one of the good ones :)
    That must be it! It was just after a Canadian holiday and they took an age to get ready. But post stampef on 31st August and arriving 3rd April - must have got lost in postal system or Aus customs.
