If you have a variable speed drill and an old school 510 extender you can chuck up the atty in a drill to make it faster process. Just make sure to check often as to not enlarge it too much
I do have a variable speed drill but I am SURE I cannot accomplish this :( What IS an old school 510 extender?

While it may be something different, it would probably be worthwhile to check. The problem with the two I've mentioned, the resistance to insertion/removal of the chimney caused by overly tight o-ring seal. When screwing the tank on, both the positive and negative resistance caused by the chimney/chamber cab o-ring applies opposing pressure on the threading.

That is something I never thought of, but makes perfect sense. I will NOW be on the lookout for that phenomena with my own Acrylic Taifun tanks. Thanks cc. We should have hollered for you in the beginning. :thumb:

Personally I'd rather be all set and not worry about it 2 years, 2 months, you can be sure of one thing this Country has been nannified nearly to death Plebs be damned.

You want nannified go to the UK. I'm from there origin ally and it's disgusting what my countrymen not only put up with but ask for en masse.

I agree if you can stick up now here's jo harm. It's made me rethink sales and likely I'll stick up on some concentrates (another thing that hasn't made it here look into it - try chefsvapour.co.uk to get a start - make sure you spell vapour correctly not the American way. ) anyway I'll probably hold authentics and stock up on clones. I'm posses I didn't buy a second 1:1 pico clone and now they're gone so I bought s couple more cloud one clones but honestly based on my experience with authentics I'll likely buy s couple more of those instead of ten plus clones. The good authentics just don't have issues many clones have so they're a safer bet if you need them to run for years. Obviously extra tanks are a must and typically clone tanks work and are way cheaper

My Acrylic Tank Chimney never has slid into the chamber top cap opening, the chimney o-ring just seals the top cap opening but doesn't actually slide into the cap hole. I don't have leaks, but maybe mine is a prime candidate for tank thread problems in the future like chanelvaps.

This is a 510 extender, it is just a male/female 510 connector, I use it all the time to polish out scratches. I also use an old Carto to to polish tube mods.

The real descriptor I was thinking is pussification, the large majority of the youth in this country have slowly been turned into mindless eunuchs, give them a smartphone and a few social media accounts and they are completely oblivious, and completely pacified. TPTB want two things, secondary is money, the primary concern is control they've been slowly whittling away at our rights, Everyone just rolls over and takes it. Very sad, vaping is just another rung in the ladder.

Boy Howdy, You got that right. "TPTB" I just had to Google that to find out what it meant. :lol::lol::lol:

Look what just entered my inbox:


MN - Take action to oppose a tax hike on e-liquid! (HF848 is BACK!)
CASAA
Tue 5/17/2016 8:57 AM
MN_CTA_TAXES2016.jpg



The 30¢ per milliliter tax is back. Specifically, Article 7, Sections 5-13 are still in HF 848 and the bill has been assigned to the 2016 House Tax Conference Committee

If adopted, this amendment would:
  • Enact a 30¢ per milliliter tax on e-liquid
    Include devices and hardware in the state’s definition of “tobacco products.”
Please take action NOW by sending a message to your lawmakers urging them to remove Article 7, Sections 5-13.

Oppose Vapor Taxes in MN - Send an Email

Please share this link on social media:
*Currently the tax on e-liquid in Minnesota is a 95% wholesale tax on nicotine. By altering the statute to tax the “consumable product” instead of just the nicotine contained in e-liquid, makes this is a huge increase.

Thank you,

CASAA Legislative Team

(Writing Tip #1) If you have a lot to say, please craft your email in a separate word doc and then copy/paste it into the field provided. If you take too long, they system will time out and you will lose your work.

(Writing Tip #2) Although we've provided a prewritten email with compelling talking points, we would strongly encourage you to edit the email because personalized communications to legislators are far more persuasive than form letters.

Yah that's the bigger picture everyone is missing. With vaping the fed isn't getting their sin tax as they do with smoking and here losing lobby dollars. Or at risk of. Billion are at risk here and everyone wants their cut so they figure they can push the boot to the neck because we haven't shown them otherwise.

By contrast alcohol is barely taxed or regulated. It's ridiculous.

Taifun gt air?
-------
So what is the deal with the gt air. I still can't figure out if it's mouth to lung or direct lung. Also why the hell didn't they release top
Fill tanks for the gt2. They she the space and it would have been simple. Is the tank top fill on the air and is it possible to use it with the gt 2? If I could retrofit top fill in my taifun gt2 is probably use it a lot more


What's to come
-----
As for the regulations. Obviously what's going to happen (and forgive me if I'm repeating in this thread I've said it in many)

Rj Reynolds and Philip Morris are going to scour for the most popular vaping hardware and juices. They're then going to spend a billion dollars buying the rifts including the friendly names we know. They will reduce new development to a yearly cycle or so from big names like kanger or aspire. They will pay the certification fee. And they will bring up the costs of Chinese tanks or down the costs of boutiques (should they buy them) when they mass produce designs which are popular (think kayfun) they will have full control over juice and what we will find when we examine are random chemicals are finding their way in. Just like cigarettes are nothing like just tobacco.

There will be a small contingent of "renegades" who firm communities to share recipes. Concentrates will be sold as food flavoring. Pg and VG as well as nicotine will be available but nicotine will be available in barrels and need to be split and processed like nude nicotine do. This is where the taxing will come in for raw nicotine. It will go up in cost a minimum of 4x (it's heap now)

I don't foresee products going away. The pace will slow. A ton of people in the government rely on finding from cigarette taxes and they're losing that money now. They won't tax things like booze at a higher level even igh drunk driving kills close to as many as smoking if not more. Unfortunately taxes on fringe things like vaping I up to compensate


Within ten years we will see a widely accused documentary on how the government colluded with big tobacco to kill the vaping community and poison Americans.

Non vapers will still believe second hand vape is harmful. Well because they're .......

That's my 8 ball - forgive the typos. The hand still aren't working correctly post op. Can't feel my fingers much.


General stuff
----
I've been vaping for over three years but I just passed my first full year cigarette free. I'm at about 13 months now. While I gained weight between that and my spinal surgeries and medication my heart and lungs have never felt better.

I am working now in reducing amount I vape should I need to stop but I will at least buy nicotine for s year or two. If you buy the amber air sealed bottles from nude nicotine (smoothest nicotine going so if you love throat hunters not for you) they last two years in a freezer before reduction in potency. But he reduction is relatively linear so after two year the first three months it may he 99%. So after five years it's not 100mg/ml it's 75 or something point is I'd degrades slowly so long as you don't store it on your dashboard.

Half a liter of 100mg/ml should last as few years if you vape 12mg or less. Put it this way. If you wanted to vape 10 mg juice one bottle of 250 ml would make you 2.5 liters of juice. 10 ml of nicotine base per 90 ml of flavoring and pg/VG if you vape say 3 the. That same amount is 3ml per 97 of other. Which means 7.5 liters of juice off one small bottle.

Most people I know vape 6 or less so...a freezer can store four of those bottle extremely easily. Hell an ice tray area can in a mini fridge

Definitely worth buying sealed amber bottles at this point.

There is a part made by GP -it's inexpensive but they don't have shopping worked it for small products which is frustrating. Anyway it's Called the PnB kit. Polish n buff. It's made for doing what you talk about. It's like 10-15$ and a bit smaller. Ties into a dremmel

You may be able to find it stocked outside of their site. This site had a good picture and description. I have never heard of the site before so don't take it as an endorsement. Anyway you seem set but for others or for other options. Thought I'd mention it.

I'm sure Vapinart or some other high end shop has them in the USA. I bought the kit when I ordered something else but I haven't used it yet. I may on a clone I have that's beat to hell. Any tips on sandpaper number if I eat a nice brushed finish?

Start with X and end with y, etc?

One last thing for flavor chasers and people who love a good mouth to lug inhale. The cloud one clone is good but if you want something that makes amazing vape and travels super small check out the entire piccoloid combo from GP- it vapes like a huge tank and holds a fair bit but when paired with the little paps in the piccoloid kit it's awesome.

If you like taifun vape and want small - this gives more flavor and density than the taifun gt2 in a tiny package thats relatively affordable considering you get a mech included.

I only mention it because I found myself floundering for recommended atomizers aside from the taifun or kayfun. And this is one of my all time favorites. Their machining is top notch. The switches are hair trigger and brilliant lock. And they are built to last nuclear warfare. So if you want stuff to last through a ban and so forth. Have a look st Gp products. Their design means less bs to go wrong. Nothing fiddly about them either. They're well designed but simple tanks - not simple. Minimalist. Just what you want for longevity.

for brushed 3m scotchbright pads do a decent job. Those attachments from Vapourart, look pretty decent but when I did a little research on them complaints of not being very strong, bending and breaking popped up from multiple sources. 3/8 drill and an old carto works perfect, and price is even better, same with the 510 extender, so I never bothered to buy the GP tool.

do you tighten your chimney cap all the way? I do not because I want more juice flow. Maybe I need to?

excellent post. I hope I am still here for the documentary in 10 years. So sick and tired of hearing the uninformed spout the negatives about vaping. I have been doing it for 3 years and like you, weight gain from back and knee problems have gotten to me but lungs are so much better. No more coughing all night. I bought my Nude NIcotine last week and expect it any day but I bought two 500ml and then bought a bunch of 120ml blue bottles to transfer. Plan to store in bottom shelf of freezer

OK now you are talking a language I get! THANK YOU! To elaborate, so often when I remove the tank to refill the chamber cap comes off with the tank and I have to use a pair of needle nose to remove it. Never would have thought this could be causing the other.
That happens allot to me as well

Would just make it faster, nothing more, you can do it buy hand with same results. the 510 extension can be placed into the chuck of a drill, tighten it up, screw the atomizer into it, press the drill trigger, it spins, saving you a little work of rotating by hand. and if your threading is a little sharp you could also smooth that at the same time.
