Rented Loopers, Not a bad flick.
Along the Ihy lines. Had to take a Pluid break, it starts to lose it's flavor to me after a couple of days. Torched my wick, mixed up some VZ realcig 50/50 10mg. This is my favorite tobacco blend, I do not consider Boba's tobbaco BTW. Hand wrapped an 28g 1 ohm coil and I am back in Biz.
I always order Boba's in 24mg. Cut it to 18 for an rba, and if I want gorilla juice, and a drop of Banana flavoring. I think the next time I order though I will have to order the 12mg and cut it for the IHy. This device maxes the Shiznit out of the Nic. My hat is off to those who are doing 24mg in this beast, can you say Cardiovascular collapse.

i hear that! i'm normally an 18mg vaper, but i can't do more than 12mg on my iHy, at least not if i want to vape it as much as it begs to be vaped.

Yea, I gues I could vape high mg if I did'nt sit around on my azz tooting it all night. I like to vape alot, and therefore I cut down the numbers to avoid potential heart attack.

Getting that for the weekend.

I like higher nic content bc at work, I don't get much vaping time. 6-7 draws of chain vaping and I'm good, that's perfect for me.

I would'nt dare take mine to work. I would have no where to put it and I would be afraid it could fall into something uncleanable, is that a word?

so a question for some of the metal experts in here: i just bought a GUS G22 18650, which i'm pretty sure will arrive relatively polished, and since i hate fingerprints and i'm notorious for abusing my gear, what's the best way to take the polish off and take it to more of a satin finish?

Rivernut gave me this advice and it seems to work very easily:

For the brushing technique:
Get some "fine" Scotchbrite pads (grey color). I need to get some more myself and can't remember exactly where I got them but I think it was in the painting section of Home depot. I think someone in the forums also mentioned autozone, or the like.

And all you do is remove button and any other parts you want to keep polished, give them a quick bath to remove any hand oil/dirt, then wrap the tubes/part with light to medium pressure in the pad with one hand while you turn the tube with the other hand. You will of course have to leave a portion of the tube exposed so that you have something to grip to turn it. Turn it delibrately and without pulling or pushing on the tube until you get a nice even finish ( about 3-4 minutes). Then carefully remove the tube and turn it around to brush the end you were holding. Overlap the portion you've already brushed so you dont create a line. It's that easy! After a couple of weeks depending on how hard you are on your mods, you can do it again to touch up any scuffs you might have. Touch ups only take a minute or so. I think you'll be very surprised at how effective and easy it is.

Gawd that's beautiful!

So the PAPS/GUS/Caravela caps don't thread on? I guess I'll have to find a Bliss or something. Just doesn't seem right putting an AGA-T on something like that.

the Bliss mate would look stunning, mine turned up yesterday, over the moon with it and thats be4 i have wicked it.

edit: well thats the first hour at work gone catching up, morning all a lovely wet foggy day here in the UK

Just curious, what did you not like? I figure you could get it right where you would want it.

Ya know, for me it just "wasn't quite there". I mean it worked but there wasn't really any big mind blowing difference for me over my straight ss wicks. The biggest thing that bothered me is that there was no way that the pyrex wick would give me that "instant on" big clouds of quick vapor that my LR build give me so reall I just kinda bailed on the thing...

I'm vaping 24mg Magic Fairy and it's no where near as good as Pluid to me! But it's vapable till I get more of the good stuff. I may try adding some sweetener or ecto cooler to it.

I dunno, it's close enough to me. The slight difference is tolerable when you take into account the availability and the fact that it doesn't attack the molecular structure of plastics the way Pluid does.

Ahhhh, someone else who likes brushed finish GG products...
Always feel like I'm going to get hung by the GG purists. :ohmy:

I use a dremel for all of my brushing, with these attachments:
