It's just as good in a blizzard...and...it don't melt.

there is NEVER any justifiecation needed for ICE CREAM.

I would.Vegetable soup and cake?Sounds gourmet to me...Eat it by candlelight...

I was thinking of foregoing the veg soup I made for the piece of homemade pound cake my granny sent home with me today. I'll probably just have both.

One more thing about "leaking tanks". I don't know if you guys had been referring to Clearomisers as tanks or not, but I've heard some of the Clearo's i.e. Stardust start to leak where the plastic tank mates with the metal battery connection piece.

Another thing I've noticed with actual tanks is o-rings. The J-Tanks had CRAZY tight o-rings and I had to fight to get the caps on/off, AND to get the cartos in/out as well. Jam, jam, jamming things just ends up nicking, tearing, damaging the o-rings and then you get leaks.

I got the Phiniac carto/tank tool with my Phiniac tanks, and I cannot recommend it enough. It really just sliiiiiiiides the cartos in/out and doesn't damage the o-rings, and I have gone through a LOT of cartos.

I've had a couple of the early version Stardusts get little cracks near the metal, but no leaks. Just a drop or two here and there of juice in the connection. My fault I imagine, as the early versions were easier to get juice in the center tube. Oh, and I don't use juice that cracks tanks.

Somehow way back I discovered that a shorty tapered drip tip was perfect for sliding through o-rings on tanks. I knew jamming carto's through and getting the edges caught would only tear them up, so I used the little drip tips just for that.

The only tanks I had trouble with leaking were the ones that were very loose on the carto's. They could slide up and down when the tank was full, and make a big azz mess! I don't remember where they came from, which is good because I won't be getting any more!

If the water in the pipe doesn't work for you, think about it like this. If you are traveling downhill in your car with NO brakes, you will go quite fast, IF you start to apply the breaks somewhat that RESISTS your speed and you start to slow down some. If you apply the breaks harder they RESIST your speed even more and you slow down further. Resistors, resistance, atomizers, cartomizers all RESIST current flow. The less they resist (lower resistance) the more current flows.

Lower resistance attys and cartos will ALLOW more current to flow, more vapor, warmer vape. Higher resistance attys and cartos RESIST more current flow, so less vapor and a cooler vape. If you go to the extremes, your Provari will error out to protect you. If the resistance gets TOO low, meaning there is little to no resistance, current could flow way too high, so it errors out.

I think this is the best I've seen it explained. Even I understand it now. . Thanks!

I know attys, and learned over 1.5 years of dripping. I'm talking regular LR attys and dripping, not the heads in Vivi's or the like. Mine all came shipped with primer (who knows what it is, maybe pure VG or PG to protect the coil), I always blew it out. Then (remember I used only LR attys which burn hotter and neeed to be wet), I would add about 4-5 drips, and puff puff puff the first few mouthfuls without inhaling (primer), then I would drip about 4-5 drips and vape for a bit, once it started getting slightly harsher, I'd add another 4-5 drips, and repeat.

Depending on the juice sometimes I could go 2 weeks on a single atty. After they started getting fouled up with juice gunk, and the taste was starting to turn bad, I would toss in a ziplock. After I had a couple, I would boil them on the stove for about 5 minutes, dump all the water, refill the pot, reboil, and repeat until the water looked and smelled clear. Then I would blow out the water, and let dry for about 24 hours, then start back up with the 4-5 drips and vape.

Not all of my attys came back to life, some only tasted burned after cleaning and they were tossed, some came back like new, and others were still OK, but not new new.

You can also clean them with alcohol like Vodka and let it sit in the atty or some vendors sell an atty refresher that is alcohol-based. I have good luck with that.

Xtar charger I ordered came in. I forgot to order extra spacers. I can now charge one 18350 at a time. I have 6 dead. :

My carto tanks don't leak.The Ce2s leak out the center.On a brighter note I have one of my new Rottie tubes on my JB End caps.sweet.

My eyes not have only glazed over they have rolled to the back of my head and all I can see is brain and not much of it.....

It was only for a milisecond...I'm back..

SP speechless.Can't have that.

 

[stretchpants]

Or...You could drink the vodka with some cheese and crackers get a new atty out of the package and throw the old atty away...

You can also clean them with alcohol like Vodka and let it sit in the atty or some vendors sell an atty refresher that is alcohol-based. I have good luck with that.

I assumed you moved out to the Pittsburgh area because of your post. Nice place. Understood on saving money because of what you are thrust into. I was going to make a (just keep lots of juice handy), but not sure if that's PC or not (I'm not PC). Hang in there, in that new area, and with the situation you are dealing with. Tell your family that some of your NEW, OTHER friends are keeping them in our prayers, and wishing them well.

Put some bananananananana in with cake and you will think you were just in Downtown Bakery located in Steubenville Ohio. Birthplace of Dean Martin..and the best bakery ever...

Never thought of adding something to it. Have to order 30 mk of cake next time.

Well Mrs. Stretchpants, ............ if I were a person, ........................ who say, ...................... for example, ........................ had an entire STASH of Darwins, .........................



I'm broke, BUT, not smoking.

Honestly though, hehe, near the end of my dripping, cleaning was growing tiring, and I did start tossing them. The thing that burned me the most was that the juices I tend to favor are darker, and more flavorful, and were not as friendly TO the atty's. Best deal I could find on the LR EGO attys was about $10.00, so it did start to add up, once the frequency increased. :O
