Think I may have messed up...

You bought an e-cigarette and THEN found this forum? You might be the first person EVER to do that! NOT!!!! LOL

There are precious few folks that settled in on their PV of choice with their very first purchase. Unfortunately, it's part of the learning curve. Well meaning folks will try to steer you in the right direction but that direction differs for everyone, just like brands of analogs for smokers.

When you receive your e-cig just take note of what you like and what you don't like. That will help greatly in determining what direction you move in, if you move off it all. I would suggest getting yourself some e-liquid to use with your new e-cig before you buy anymore hardware. But, you're bound to get varied suggestions. Good luck.

Actually that's probably the one thing I did right. Have 90 ml of juice on the way, and bunch of blanks for the thing. Figured if the cig sucked could always try a different model. Blanks were cheap anyways.

MOS is 35P AD, used to be a 1327, 2735, 2780, and a 2781 in the navy though. Hehe have fun googling!!

Redclaw seriously skip the 510 contact jolly rodger. No one one this forum is a scammer.
The 510 is a nice civilian kit for those with time to mess around with it. On the go it might be a pain in the bum.

[...] contact jolly rodger. [...]

Who?

 

[mini_art]

on page 2 quasimod. Jolly rodgers offered to send him a steampunk.
If your really determined to try a 510 reddklaw then pm me. I have an almost new 510 set up that I will send to you free of charge. I will even order a couple of new addys for it.
I think you will be happier with something else though.

 

[redklaw]

Lol that model uses 2 x cr123 batteries... Same as a surefire flashlight...

Going to wait till the kit arrives before taking anyone up on an offer though. Who knows, it might not be bad. I really do appreciate it guys.

May end up buying a steampunk regardless to attempt the weaponlight mod, only realy hard part is making a switch to bypass the lightbulb.

hmmm stealthy? why not a ego/tornado with bunch of 510 cartomizers? Easy on the go refilling. The thumb covers up the light on button so thats pretty much hidden. EGO has the 1 1/2 hr charger and battery lasts 8-12 hrs per charge.

Redklaw. Sounds like you got the juice covered. Welcome to the forum and thank you for your sacrifices for this country. Again, just let me know via PM (now that you got that figured out . I'll order a couple extra atty's and then ship it.

Are those batts you have 3v or 3.6/3.7v? Rechargeable?

OBW, I see you WHERE in the Navy. I am a retired (2006) FCCM. Looks like you were an IT? So it is possible we served together?
Can't believe you went from AC, 3 squares and a bed, to the Army!!! They must offer a lot of cash to go blue to green!

 

[Bingo Mion]

great site, great info !!! thanks.. i'll look that up

 

[redklaw]

I was an FT hehe (as per PM), so was on boats. Turned down a $60k re-enlistment bonus to come into the army for an 8k bonus.

Didn't actually go blue to green, had to fully exit the navy in order to get a conditional release from the navy. Also since I spent about 2 years learning Arabic in the Army, I spent that time unrated as an E5, so lost quite a bit there too. The navy's IA program was also out of the question for me.

Didn't rejoin for the money though, just wanted to see what was going on. I actually joined with the goal of coming to Iraq, not to get in "combat" or what not, more of just to understand what is going on here. I picked a job as a Arabic linguist mainly because I figured understanding every side would be the only real way to understand the conflict as a whole. The possibility of something on this scale in history could go by and that I wouldn't actually get to see it first hand kind of bothered me.

Oh and standard CR123 non rechargeable's are rated at 3.0V. The rechargeable's are rated a bit higher (3.2-4.0) from what I've looked up.

 

[UntamedRose]

Wow...I should have played my military card around here...Lot of free stuff! ;p


redklaw what was your rate pre-losing your mind and taking the blue to green offer?
confused over the IA not being available to you...pretty much open to all the ratings.
