    Well then, lets get together and go hang around some old cemeteries.

    I just recalled that video you posted with the fox and dog. There are fox in all the cemeteries around here. We see them here and there. The one we were at earlier has several. Last time we were near one Carli let loose a deep bear like growl which momentarily stunned, and froze, the fox before it scampered away. Fox are normally shy critters.
    I read gravestones as a child. I've remembered this one for 60 years

    Stop gentle reader as you pass by.
    As you are now so once was I.
    As I am now so you must be.
    Prepare for death and follow me.

    Decisions, decisions... :)

    My preferred build is 2.5mm ID txp 26. Watching Phil B's review of the mtl fl looked like a 2.5mm ID single 26 was relatively snug.

    Probably the dl fl, and the sxk add on 2.5 and 3ml single hole insert pack is my safest bet, but I'd rather get the mtl fl to get the 5ml top fill cap accessory [emoji16]

    Has anyone used the mtl fl with something similar to a twisted 26 AWG 2.5 ID coil?
    Yes, I agree with you on the DL FL as being the safest bet for your twisted 26 2.5mm ID. It has a bigger build deck with much more space, versus the MTL FL, between the posts for your coil.

    Post-to-post is about 6.7mm, as measured by Mark Todd in his video at 11:40. He installs a 3mm ID coil in his at 12:15.



    The older DL's will not properly trap twisted 26g wire. The older posts were not designed for chunkier coils. @charlie1465 has a few of the older DL's and trapping thicker wires is an issue for him.

    The coil legs tend to slide out. That is not an issue with the FL's because KHW redesigned the posts with improved coil leg clamps and ridges on the edges.

    Do I ever. I loved that thread. BTW, WTA eliquids were eventually invented by @DVap and produced commercially by Aroma Ejuice and @radiokaos... And now Aroma is gone, too. :cry:
    Yeah i'm still trying to recover from the devastation after hearing. I used to order $300 worth of WTA from Gerry....24mg. I then added pg to make the 15ml a 30ml...12mg. Used that in the pods when I go out. Fantastic tobacco flavor. It used to last me more than a year. I was out and ready to put in the next order when I found out he has closed shop.
    Very Very sad for vaping...end of an era :unsure:

    Thank you, good catch on the fl having the improved wire trap! Since it's for the Mixx, top fill makes sense, the mtl fl + top fill set, with 26/32 Ni80/kanthal Clapton wire, 2mm ID 4 wrap, sounds like a good fit.

    Hoping to see a DL FL top fill pop up soon on ft or 3f

    A classic. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to tally the number of headstones on which it appears.

    I've got the Riviera, airflow-wise I'd put it as similar to a 2.5 - 3mm single airflow hole. If you want the 24mm deck and a top-fill kit, what about the older DL version? @Pigs got a fused clapton installed in his (I think)l
    Yes indeed - an Ni80 3mm id 5 wrap 2*28/36 fused clapton has been my go to build for the Dvarw V3. No trouble trapping the legs but wouldn't think a much bigger coil would fit. Got the FL in the cart for bigger coils.

    My Ninja Mixx - I swapped the silver screws over from my Tux Mixx :D

    and @Pigs had a 0.2V difference again from using stealth mode. So both Mixxes are now in Ninja mode :cool:
    (hit fire button 3 times to turn off/on the screen for stealth mode)

    Hey boys and girls, I have a question for all you frequent flyer Fasttech buyers. I have one order that most of the items are showing ready to ship, except two things. The two that are not ready originally had a ship date of today. However, now if I click on the item it states Ships in 5 business days. Would it be recommended to cancel those two items and reorder them in order for the rest of the item to be shipped? Or would you just leave it as is?
    Kind of have same thing going on. Afraid to mess with it & jam up the flow

    So, that's my house, and my view. We have neighbors, but we also have trees and mountainside. :)

    My surgery is hard scheduled for Sept. 8th, no more potential eraser on that.

    Good morning!

    Ahhh... A room with a view. What else can one want? Beautiful! I wish you much happiness in your new home.
    And good luck with your surgery! :wub:

    Interesting. How sure are we that this will work in the Argus Air? I know nothing about VooPoo products. The only thing I have from them is the original Drag mod, but never had any experience with their tanks, pods, or coils.

    Moderately sure. I have zero experience with VooPoo coils and devices, but I did win a Vinci X in a contest so I'm trying to figure out how to make it work and last. ;)

    @Opinionated, thanks for sharing your photos. I loved them. :)
    Your place looks awesome and I know mountain air is too.

    And thanks everyone who shared their slices of Life. I loved them all.

    Seeing as we're doing this porch thing. :D

    That's my view heading east. Yes, I need to trim my bushes. ;)

    After Carli and I left the park earlier we went to one of the oldest cemeteries in Milwaukee. It's huge and is about two city blocks from my home. We go there a few times a week to just "Be" for a couple hours. And no, I don't know anyone that is buried there! :lol:
    View attachment 903095
    After we get into the center of the place there is this massive hill leading up to a really old chapel where we hang out. It's a few hundred foot climb to the top. And fairly steep.
    View attachment 903097
    Once we climb all those stairs we're there!!! I'm pooped and Carli is rarin' to go play. So we play and then flop!
    View attachment 903099
    That's the view sitting on the front steps of the chapel looking down and to the north. There are a lot of folks from the 1800's buried here. All around the base of the hill are these super old crypts that lead into the the hill itself. Very awesome. Some are still open. They are pretty eerie on the inside, yes! My hairs never fail to stand up.

    I know a few folks here who love Angels. One of you even shared a very special Angel story with me that I will never ever in my life forget (you know who you are ;)). This one is totally awesome and a favorite of mine.

    So we enjoy walking in cemeteries. I'm weird. Usually there are no people to speak of and they are very peaceful and quiet. Great places to just relax, play some frisbee and totally chill.
    Back in college, I ran in the small town, 19th century cemetery. My favorite place to decompress and reflect. Some of the old statuary are moving they’re so beautiful. There’s a famous picture of one of the angels in the city cemetery here. A friend has a print of it over her fireplace.

    Spent the day watching the last two Avengers movies. Seems in my absence, the storms both decided to head here. To put the gris gris on them, we went and got cat and dog food, and cat litter. We’re prepared to hunker down, but it’s too early to tell where they’ll actually go. Really really not in the mood for a week of torrential rains.
    Dog is clearly distressed at the possibility lol. Cat has been hiding in the closet.
