No new gear to get, so no new reports there. Still using the sticker, still eating batteries. Replaced the battery screw in the sticker with one from the kayfun rebuild kit, so better contact with flat top batteries, but not a major advancement. That is all I have. Still plan to re-engineer the sticker, but work and family have been taking all my time.

18500 tube? I would be happy to hear a battery report. Reset your vape timer, please. Looks great. I am really diggin' the form factor in my hand. Get yerself an 18mm connector, it will look better. I will post pics with a much lest desirable atty later.

For what reason is the display facing the battery? Random, or your choice? I have settled on a 90 degree rotation from you. Better for my paws. Will post pics of that too.

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions. I like the button and screen orientation the way it is. The screen is facing me slightly behind the tube in a discrete manner that I like. I can still see the screen.

Awesome there Bill. Welcome to the exclusive Sticker club. We don't admit just anyone.

What about your ride? Ever vape while on your Electra Glide (looks like an Electra Glide Sport, but I am out of date)? For years, I had an 84 FXRT - a Low Rider with full fairing. Kept falling down reaching for another beer, so had to give it up. Black bike, black fairing, black jacket, black slacks, black boots, black shorty helmet, aviator goggles. Riding in snow storms, heels on highway pegs on the crash bar, left arm flapping loose in the wind, shirt wide open revealing my (one) chest hair, Marlboro stuck in my mouth, James Dean style. Very ugly chicks would pull up alongside in their pickup truck to give me a gap-toothed smile and wave. Honest livin' it was.

We'll, darn. You have a sweet ride, and a likable sticker. I am humbled. In defense of my manliness, I will comment that i detect a flappage deficiency. Maybe just a bad photo...

Updated the photo for you. I also know you are not the type to be humbled by material things, especially those that are man made. We are both men that know egos are never fed or identified with things that can easily be taken away.

There's an exclusive Sticker club? Cool, I'm in

Well, I do not know you that well, so I was initially skeptical. But since you posted a photo of a Sticker AND a battery being charged, you clearly must be one of us. Welcome, brother.

And, kudos for orienting your button the way that I do.

Very thoughtful words. If you can understand that, you can always say "nihil perditi" - nothing is lost, and always move on the same as before. A hard life teaches that, and a few come to understand the teacher.

In other news, I still ain't seein' no flappage. On the positive side, I see crash bar, highway pegs, floor boards (a delight on long rides), heel-n-toe shifter. On the down side, I see sparkling chrome, the darn thing is clean, and you have speakers. What good are stereo speakers when you are marching up a steep incline at 25 mph in top gear. I miss that sound.

And you still did not inform if you vape and ride at the same time.

Yeah I got into the Sticker with a screwdriver and took it to bits, 'cause I was sick to death of the half a volt of voltage drop the Sticker was giving me.

Lordy there were a lot of little components. After the contact cleaning was done, I considered how on earth I was going to put it all back together, but I managed it. I also managed to orient my fire button just as I liked it.

Yup keeping my Efests charged up. I got a long night shift ahead, and a full bottle of AVE Gorilla Juice and I'm going to need the Power :)

Yup, been there done that. Contact cleaner worked for a few days, and I am back to 1/2V drops. Back in the charger with 3.7+ volts on 'em.

Did you manage to make progress? I have been meaning to do a lot of things. Caig De-Oxit, carbon conductive grease, replace the bottom positive plate with copper, better screws. Lots of room for improvement. But, round-to-its have been in short supply, and I am always near a fistful of charged batteries.

Hey Phone Guy! Where are you? After you hurt my feelings for being a PBR guy, I have upgraded to ding-a-ling, err, Yuengling. Another $2 per case. I hope this restores my street cred.

Yeah, I'll upgrade you back in to good graces.... I GUESS!! I have slowly realized what others probably already know. Vaping is more of an addiction than smoking anything before it. I find myself NEEDING to spend money every f'ing day on something :( The wife already threatened to leave me when I suggested we could save a few bucks by getting the generic infant formula for our 2 month old grand daughter so I'd have enough money to buy a bottle of castle long from five pawns.

Guys, I think I need help?
