Hi all. Hope everyone is having a great day and better evening. Our weather is beautiful today. I think we hit 70 degrees and it is still in the 60s. Gorgeous.

I am going to that makeup vape meet tomorrow afternoon and I am sitting here trying to gather the things I want to bring. I want to try to make a couple of good coils to go on that Igo-L I have and on the no name one that one of the guys gave me last month for a bunch of juice. I have not even touched that one. So the cotton balls and wire and screwdriver set I bought and Gizmo coil winding thingy. Oh, and tweezers-got to find those.

Is there a particular type of tweezers that are most helpful when you are building coils? They come in different types, just want to know what to look for. Do I find them in Home Depot or a Hobby Lobby? I think I have a medical tweezers from a past hospital stay somewhere, would they work?

I am hoping to be able to post, all excited, tomorrow night that I have built the perfect coil. Somehow I doubt it, but I will get an A for effort.

Harbor Freight has an awesome tweezer set with all kinds, curved, straight, bent, wide, narrow, and my favorite is a real long pointed one, that is the one I use most while rewicking. It's not expensive either.

I have faith in you Shari, you can do it. :)

Thank you, Claudia. I just talked to someone who is going to the vape meet tomorrow. Her daughter is also going and has purchased a Stealth Provari for her fiancé for his birthday. So I will get to see a Stealth Provari. Never thought I would see one of those in person.

I saw something disconcerting on the FT thread. Evidently FT is selling China made RBAs that are stamped 'Made in USA' on the bottom. Do not like that. At all. But it should not surprise me. At least FT is honest enough to post it right on the item description. I almost had to laugh at that.

I know most of the stuff is made in China, but stamping it Made in USA is a bit beyond the pale for me.

Hi everyone,
Tried to get here while the site was down. I had a few questions for you guys BUT I used the time to research. Miss you all. Hope everyone is doing well. BTW my new cell wont type in the block so I have to be on my computer. I refused the taptalk app and now cant find it. Any links for windows phone? Thanks and hugs.

Just an FYI:

According to the thread "rolygate' started about all the problems that people are expericening since the migration - it seems that the "Tap Talk" app is also one of the major causes and everyone is having the same problems being thrown off ECF too . . . So "You" may want to check it out here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/site-feedback-help/535932-back-online.html


Now - I hope everyone remembers that tomorrow . . .

Thank you, I think I was ripe enough to get it, You know what I mean. It was kind of funny and sad at the same time. I am just glad I am done with that part, at least for now. I have to go through it every three years!

Hey, all. I just wanted to say hi. I joined this forum back in 09, and my husband and his sister, her husband,and I all started vaping. Well, I just couldn't quit the analogs.

They have all been smoke free and never looked back. I have such an addict personality, though, of course I can't let anything be easy for myself! Lol (recovering drug, btw, 9 years clean).

Anyway, just wanted to say, I'm doing it this time. Last Saturday, I finally " felt" it. I'm done. I don't miss them. I don't dream about them. I don't even think about them.

I think, for me, I had to have that. Not sure why, perhaps because I became a grandmother recently, and my 2 year old grandson said, "Nana moke", and put a straw to his mouth, like a cigarette. I was the last smoker in the family, and that's not what I want to hear from that precious baby.

Really, though, it's so much more than that. Of course, the money, my health, all that matters. But, I don't know, I WANTED to smoke, through all that.

Now, I don't. I don't. I actually do not want a cigarette.

I've taken the first steps, and hopefully the last! Just wanted to talk to you guys about it, because my family doesn't "get" it.

Great to see you Lox. How is life? Loxsmithing and the house??? Seems I cant get to first unread post so I guess the site isn't quite right yet.

House is coming along. With all the snow we lost a few weekends. Once I'm done spackling the ceiling it's all just paint and cleanup work. Won't be much longer thank god. Poor Jazz is a bit frayed around the edges. It's been a drawn out process.
Work is really picking up lately. I just got called to look at repairing and or replacing 110 doors. :thumb: be nice to get some work for me and my minions.
Good to see you :) we were starting to worry.
