And it was darn yummy too. Lannie don't ever make anything that's not good.
Not nearly enough for my desire to explore. I have driven through 30 states in this country (including Ha'wai'i). Been to England, Scotalnd, Wales, Italy, Germany, British Columbia, Canada and Sonora, Mexico. My car made it to Paris, but I didn't. Anyway, when you look at a globe, my travels are tiny and rather insignificant. I'd really like to see the rest of it.
I've only been through 23 of the lower 48 states, then I have been to Japan, Australia, Norway, Germany, Spain, Turkey and Iraq. Someday I will travel more, many places I still wish to see.
Well guys, it is close enough where I can show it off a little.
What started out as this....
Now looks like this...
I would not suggest a kit like this to anyone not good with their hands or who doesnt have some basic woodworking skills. The left side of the stock had to be sanded down at least 1/4 - 1/3 of an inch to have a smooth transition between the wood and the brass while maintaining its smooth lines and the same for the wood at the brass nose. Every time I thought I was just about read to stain it I found something else that needed major sanding and shaping but it was well worth it for I believe she came out real nice. Still have to polish some of the brass to a mirror finish but for the most part, its ready to shoot.

@chopdoc Very nice indeed, can you shoot one of Lannie's cows, ya know, that big fat one, then I can come round for a bbq..
Do you have any trouble running max VG on these Triton Claptons ? I just feel that the coil struggles as the juice is too thick, Unicorn Milk is great but I think I'm going to have to mix another batch of 50/50 and mix them both together, I should of said max ratio I guess.
EDIT..... Scrap that, I can just add 12.5ml of distilled water to my 500ml of Unicorn Milk, I think my math is correct. Job done
Is that Scooby Doo I can see?
.....but steak is OK

I'd always been on the thin side until about 4 years ago because high cholesterol runs in my family and I've been careful to eat healthy. Well I lost the 30 pounds I needed to lose but the cholesterol is still high so I'm on lipitor now since last week and watching everything I eat. Luckily I love veggies and oatmeal with berries.@chopdoc Very nice indeed, can you shoot one of Lannie's cows, ya know, that big fat one, then I can come round for a bbq..

Kanger Claptons came today so I put them in the Subtank Plus that has been a bit lonely for awhile, thought I'd get it back in circulation.
Nice setup, still to this day, that Kbox is the best to hold, it just fits in the hand and is nice and light, vaping these Claptons at 40w as it's the max, popped it on the IPV D3, which was a bit of a face palm because the Plus sits flush on that mod too which surprised me, a black IPV and this would of worked well and not be as limited. In saying that, I banged it up to 50w, it was too hot on my lips, no way these will go to 70w, I'd say 45w is the sweet spot on these, ah well, back on the Kbox at 40w.
The vapor production has increased a lot, there shouldn't be this much vapor coming out a Subtank kind of moment. The flavor is very good, not as good as the Triton Claptons but absolutely good enough to vape and it still picks out the juice notes well. The coil broke in very quick, wicks well and no dry hits, I wouldn't go max VG in these, 70/30 is fine but then I'd say the same for the Triton's too.
I wish it had slightly more airflow, it's always been the problem for me with the Subtanks, the Plus is about as open as it gets out of the Subtank family, I find I have to take longer pulls but it's still Ok for a lung hit, coming from the Super Tank though you can tell the difference and even the KS has more airflow than this, that's not to say it doesn't produce though, it certainly does now.
I'm being picky and after all that's said, I still love vaping these Subtanks, if you have some that you've not used in a while and you want to liven them up a bit and don't build use the deck, grab a pack of Claptons, they are way better than those Vertical OCC ones.
This Subtank has clouds

Thanks darlin. So far not so bad. Bout 2" of rain yesterday am, maybe about the same last night. A town about 6 miles from here got tore up pretty bad, but we've been pretty lucky!
to make tamales with???
wow gorgeous!! I was also gonna ask if that was a Scooby on the back of the couch!! hehehe
Mornin y'all!!
Call me a heretic but I've had nothing but trouble with kanger subtank coils. I hadn't noticed much of an improvement with the clapton coils, but then again I vape 80/20 so that could explain the dry hits... Flavor wise it seemed identical to the ssoccKanger Claptons came today so I put them in the Subtank Plus that has been a bit lonely for awhile, thought I'd get it back in circulation.

It's fine, we all have different opinions, taste buds, gosh, the list goes on, I have found an increase in flavor and no dry hits at all, I'd say it has to be your thicker juicy
I can't say for sure. My DIY juice gunks my coils as well and I'm now where near your wattage.
Generally around 30 - 40 watts with a .5 ohm coil.
Hi everyone
Just made some Butternut Squash, Chilli, Garlic and Onion soup, it's really nice.
@Rixsta My Unicorn Milk is fine, 70/30, told you to stick to that ratio, silly billy.
