I just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone. A medical condition that I have is rearing its ugly head. As soon as this passes I will be more active. :)

Awe, take care of yourself and we will look forward to seeing you here when you feel better. Meanwhile you will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

How do you clean them Salem?

Once I have a batch of about 5-10 that need to be cleaned, I toss them in a pot of boiling water. Boil for 10-15 minutes then put them in PGA to soak for an hour or so. Lay them out on a paper towel to dry and they are as good as new.

I do rinse them between each fill as well. Just rinse under hot running water. Blow the water out through air tube. Squeeze water from wicks with paper towel. Fill and vape. The first 2 or 3 draws will be a little watery but after that, they are great.

Just doing the rinse between each fill keeps them from getting gunky for awhile.

Mod....Murphy's Law....

Five though I will chunk a coil in the trash post haste....still I gotta ask...What size and what material wick.....What size wire???? How would a rebuilt compare with a Kanger built???

DR I hope the tank meets all expectations....

Sluers hope you feel better soon...

Bov I'll bet Black Sabbath would sound excellent through the new "Woods....

So the other day I'm sitting waiting on a call that never came...Then the guy who's supposedly calling shows up in the yard...Yep...forgot to pay Boost...Once upon a time they sent 50 texts prior to the end date...No more and I simply forgot...No harm....no foul....I paid Boost online and that left my funds to low to pay Virgin for the internet...No problemO usually....unless it's Sunday and the credit union is closed...That internet thingy.......I'm addicted....there I said it...Usually I pay Boost local to avoid taxes and I like local...I keep my account low to avoid buying sheet impulsively and the hackers are always hovering....

I scored a 96 Ranger 4X4 STX from the 70 year old original owner today...It's in unbelievable shape and best of all BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STX = all options available as well....Now I gotta sell my park service Ranger...It should bring dang near what I paid for the new one...what we hustlers call a WASH!!!!!!!! STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LD I used 3mm silica on both but I think 2mm will work just as well. The first one I did 5 or 6 wraps of 30g and it ended up 1.1Ω. Works great but I'm afraid it will stress an eGo. I want to get it it up around 1.5Ω next wrap. The second wrap I did 8 or 9 or 32g and it ended up at 2.5Ω.

It's gunna take me a few more to dial in the Ω's. But I think it better than the Kanger.

Mod, do you think you could limp by with my old Nvidia 285gtx? I doubt it'll run your games full tilt, but if you need it let me know. I hope you win the 660ti contest!

Dee, what a great score on the Ranger STX! Craig's List scares me, my luck all I'd score is a psycho! Been there, just got rid of one :facepalm: And for you, I would pump a little Black Sabbath!

I have been doing images for the past 7 hrs. for my buddy's new site so I have been absent.

Bo, Right ON with the tunes girl. I'm proud of you.

Sluers, sorry to hear your not doing good.

LD, congrats on the deal buddy. I don't know what size wire I used. It was some I bought long ago. I'll look and let you know. I need thicker wire though if I intend doing anymore. I used silica for the wick. Same deal, some I had when I got the wire. I've been loving the 4Ohm coils I got from Isaac. With them I can turn up the power and get a nice warm vape the way I like it.

I didn't even eat dinner until 10:30.

    Thanks Salem. I'll give that a try. We use way more tanked fusions than clearos but it would still be nice to get more life out of the wicks.

    Hope you are feeling a lot better sluers. Lots and lots better!

    I have a condition that has everyone baffled. Its called Lacking Ambition Zinger Yawn or LAZY for short.

    Just the mention of the word "Work" sends me into an immediate sweaty nap situation that I can't escape.

    I even keep a plaid couch out in the weeds in the front yard by the bass boat in case somebody says that word while I'm outside. If they do I can run - well, walk fast - to my couch and take that nap.

    I took my dog to obedience school and they were teaching him how to sit. Every time they would say "Sit" he would bark and sit down. Now every time my dog barks I have to sit down. That danged dog barks a lot too.
