    those wire strippers make stripping wire an absolute breeze!!

    I’ve had the same old school Klein wire strippers for 20+ years
    They are a game changer for me. I've always stripped wire with pliers, wire cutters, a knife etc. These things are magic. Can't believe it took me so long to get a pair.

    I’ll be curious to hear what you think of it.

    Impatient me used to always charge at 2A, regardless of how many I had in rotation. Partly so I wasn't charging them unattended. Mainly because I'm a really inpatient person.

    I've dropped it down to 1A X 4 (attended with front row seats, eating popcorn) to improve how long my 21700s stay optimal. But if time is short, it's good to have the faster option
    Yes, exactly! I won't leave batteries charging unattended, and I'm not about to start, lol. The way I figure it is, if I pull up a chair and eat popcorn the entire time I'm charging, it's in my best interest to keep that time shorter than longer - y'know, to watch the lady figure. ;)

    Me too. @Z-Lee linked a photo a while back and got me thinking. Then I saw 3F have them fo $68 with the option of full mech or mosfet/semi mech so decided to buy one.

    Thunderhead have a tradition of manufacturing mech mods so hopefully the design is good. reviews seem positive. One drawback in full mech mode is the lack of a locking fire button.

    Also interested in hearing about this.

    Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
    the stitches have been taken, a little bleeding since the stitches leave a little hole. Clean at home for a couple of days and it should be done.
    It will be good to be able to write again (I write with my left).
    Yesterday I bought Staedtler rulers, geometry triangles, and circle gauge, must have something on the way in the mail.

    I still can’t understand this onslaught against vaping practically world wide. It’s bizarre to me.
    Agree Sara.

    The whole way we think about health, it makes no sense.

    Vape, we all want thorough testing of products, is there something really bad, get it out, is there a setup that gives less risk get it out. But do it realistically, in the same way as vape in practice.

    Health......one, well, the biggest health problem is obesity and diabetics. Some have genetics for it, but for many it's the lifestyle.
    I don't know of one country that has introduced a vape & flavor ban, that has taken hold of chocolate, chips, coca cola etc.
    Not one of these countries has tackled alcohol either.
    But I know of several of them who speak loudly that certain parts of drugs should be sold via pharmacies on prescription.
    Give them ten years, and the youth can buy a strip of coke at the pharmacy.

    Quick update on the BXR conversion project:
    Plenty of research done and emails sent. Huge thanks to @Tor R who put up with my constant PM's and also sent enquiries on my behalf.

    We've come to the conclusion that the MM mosfet is unsuitable for use in that type of boro mod.
    Was an interesting positive experience and I learned plenty.
    (and now I have some nice new tools for the next project )
