I had kidney stones once. It was probably the worst pain I have ever had. And I have had almost 20 broken bones. I wouldn't wish kidney stones on anyone.

Yeah they suck. My sons didn't pass though... they were simply blocking off both ureters and he couldn't urinate at all.

Apparently that's life threatening, and fast. Who knew? I honestly didn't realize it was that deadly that fast not to be able to pee..I knew it was a doctor issue but not how serious it would be..

But on Tuesday they went in with a laser and broke up all the stones... so he's all clear now, and they removed the stents too so once he heals up from the surgery he'll be in good shape again...

I keep thinking maybe the top cap is somehow pushing and twisting the gasket as you tighten it down. I just looked an mine and the big flat area of the top cap is very slightly recessed from the outer rim so I don't think it is forcing down hard on the gasket.
Odd indeed.

When i sent it to the store i had already use the replacement,so yeah in less than a month used 2 gaskets...
Serial number i have no idea since i already sent it back and didn't take any pics from the bottom,sorry.

Only thing i can think of and mind you i am not engineer is that it's a problem with the top cap,can't really come up with anything else that makes sense.

When i first told them about the spitback (in the first email i sent them) they responded with the usual not the corrent amount of cotton/not wicked properly etc etc even thou i sent them a picture.

Second email is the picture i posted and then the guy from the shop apologised,he said he then saw how the gasket was deformed so he told me to pack it up and wait for the delivery guy to pick it up.

Hope it gets resolved,i don't normally spend that much on an atomizer,i mean the Juggy is like 3 Hellvape Destiny RTA hehe but yeah i was loving my Juggy until this started to happen.

Stop it (lol ). My sides are hurting and I want to go to bed. Just tell us for gods' sake. How did you break 20 bones ????????

C'mon Red, save face while you can. TELL US
It's nothing overly exciting. I had one incident where I broke 7 bones in an accident. The rest of the bones were just broken here and there. I don't have a lot of talents, but I am skilled at getting injured.

That makes me cringe just thinking about that. Thank goodness I was able to let them pass without medical intervention. That sounds like some scary stuff.

three of these FLV are my favs, Pink Guava, Vanilla Pudding and Mango. I long and lust for Alpine Strawberry but so far have resisted buying it.
That's good to hear Sue....any recipe suggestions?
I have wild strawberry my INA which is fantastic and know the alpine is good so I'm pleased. Of course the OOO milky undertone is a must have too :wub:

UPDATE:

Just got a call from the vape shop (located in Seville) and yeah they said the same thing.
It has to do something with the top cap,that is the only explanation we could come up with.
I primarily use this shop and their service is really good,actually sent me wrong the aroma one day and then the next day after i called them and sent them a pic they sent the right one,got to keep the one they sent the first time.

Well anyway talked with a nice fellow for about 10 minutes and he said that he would do all the paperwork and i would have a new one (same color) delivered by Monday :banana::banana:

So yeah i am happy about that,never spent that much on an atomizer so good to hear i won't be using it as a nice and shiny paperweight :lol::lol:

But thanks anyway for taking interest in my problem pt91,much appreciated :thumbs:

Ok I have to go to sleep here. If any of you claim to be my friends can you please put the pressure on Red to reveal his secret. Blow torch if necessary. When I wake up I want answers. please. I hope. cmon. guys???
@Redbird11 It was just his foot....there are over 20 bones in the foot I think. :D

Or maybe the vape cartel broke both of his hands for dipping into a new hardware operation :D

Yeah it was... and yes your lucky! :) although it doesn't feel like luck.. lol

All this is making me think of @Eskie though... while he didn't want anyone to know, I think its safe now to say he had kidney disease. (Late stage I believe)

I think it's likely he's passed, even though we didn't find evidence for it, because he's not come back...

There was something his doctor wanted to try that was experimental, but Eskie was waiting until he thought he had no choices left but to try...

Perhaps he waited too long... :(

I don't believe I was on ECF when he was on here, but I've seen some of you post about him over the last year. Sorry to hear about that.

    Why didn't I make the world championships? I don't know. I tried my best. I guess I just wasn't good enough.

    It's nothing overly exciting. I had one incident where I broke 7 bones in an accident. The rest of the bones were just broken here and there. I don't have a lot of talents, but I am skilled at getting injured.

    Did you fall off one of those Bird scooters that you rent with a phone app?

    He was a great guy... for real. He's the one who taught me how to set TC up accurately so I could do a contest win product review... lol. We joined up here at about the same time and were fairly close friends the entire time we were on here.

    Lots of contest wins together and some overall great times! He was awesome.

    It sure sounds like he was one of the good ones. I regret I did not get to interact with him on here.

    That's really sad if that's the cause. My brother in law has PKD (polycystic kidney disease) it's hereditary and he's not so good at the moment.

    I suppose we still can't be sure about Eskie though. I still miss him a lot. The pandemic has claimed so many people especially those with pre-existing conditions.
