@VapeLuver, well missy I think that we warned you. It's an addiction, buying vape gear. You picked the best forum for enabling! I broke a Kabuki tank over the weekend, rolled off the arm of my chair, used the grabber to retrieve it, and crunched it. And boy did I swear. 10 authentics ordered :-x.
I know that feeling too - first time I went to refill mine, it flew out of my hands on to a hard floor and smashed to pieces. I make sure I'm on a carpet when I do it now so at least it stands some chance of survival if I drop it :D

@Maytwin, oh it landed on carpet. It was the grabber that did it in.

they come with a fine from the FCC if you say 'em on TV
Or a suspension in the forums I frequent.
One of my mom's favorite sayings was "pardon my French." Never could understand why she credited the French with those fine anglo-saxon epithets!



Makes building an RDA seem even easier! ;)
I don't get that expression either. I am half French so I guarantee you there are many excellent cuss words in French!
OK.... ok.... I'll talk about it...

After the fantabulous, yet VERY busy weekend, Stepdot and I needed to make a resupply run up north. Our resupply runs take us nearly due north about 70 miles (about an hour and a half) for broom shop supplies, and then we circle about 30 miles south west through a slightly larger town (there's another y vape shop, a Hobby Lobby, and it's NOT a dry county [we live in a dry county... no inkyhol sales occifer]) before coming home. It's an all day affair, and we normally leave at 10 am and return at 5 pm (unless we take in a movie, and eat dinner at our favorite Thai or Chinese joint in which we return closer to midnight).

Today, I work up - with a slight sinus headache - to the sound of rain. Sigh... S'okay, we've made the trip in the rain before. Before leaving, though, I have to open up a store downtown. While opening, my relief calls and tells me that the storm knocked out his power and he had no alarm clock. Sigh... S'okay, we've had late starts before. Then Stepson calls and says he's been called to a meeting in the town we're headed to... he needs to tag along.

Note here... Stepson is 33, quit his corporate job and moved home to "get his bearings." That was 6 years ago. We found out shortly thereafter that he quit his job because he lost his license and could not longer commute. He lost his license because he forgot to follow up on paperwork when he moved last and was without insurance. For the last 6 years, we've had to chauffeur him everywhere. Recently, he got a new job... I'm quite proud, to be honest. However, when he applied I asked - point blank - is not having a license was going to be a problem.

"No. I'm part of a board. Every meeting I have to attend will be attended by other members of the board, and I can catch a ride. No problem."

Big problem...

Sigh... S'okay, we've had him along in the past.

At every turn, my relaxing "day off" resupply run turned me into errand boy.

We got home at about 8 pm, and I am tired and more than a little irritated.

Oh, yeah, and on Saturday, he calls as I am on my way to work and says "I forgot to grab ice. Can you bring some to me." Problem was, he was in a kiosk behind the town square. A town square that was roped off for about a mile in most every direction for the annual parade. It took an additional half an hour dodging parade goers, road blocks, float line-ups, and driving back streets to get him his ice. Made me late for work!

Back on topic... I got vape mail :) But the vape shop has a smaller inventory in the store than I have at home, so I purchased nothing new, there...
That'll teach you to be such a nice guy!
Post a video of the coil, Please...my lil buddy is very smart, and I don't need him picking up my "bad language" #*?!€ trying to rebuild the Nautilus coil...

It's like talking around a child, isn't it? They pick up everything!

I had an African grey parrot for many many years (until she died of an inoperable tumor) and I guess neither DH nor I weren't very careful with what I said around her. She imitated our voices and cusses perfectly.

It was a shock to DH's MIL when she visited…a very straight-laced, strict, church-going woman.

I might start doing it myself, I've been looking at videos for how to rebuild nautilus coils. They are the most expensive stock coils I've bought to be honest, it seems that it could be a bit tricky to rebuild them than with a lot of other coils though! I'm sick of paying like 15$ for a pack though so all the fiddling might be worth it

Thank you Dubminer, that is much appreciated. I have a mini nautilus, nautilus 2 & use the 1.8s in my Triton mini too so I go through a lot of these coils. When I get some spare cash I'll put an order in. Thanks again :)

Skold i rewick all my aspire coils with rayon and prewound coils from fasttech (horizontal) and they last so much longer than the ones out of the packet (cotton) never a dry hit and once you have redine a few they are so simple.

I havent bought a coil in over a year. I set aside a couple of hours and recoil a batch of 30 and then just switch them out when i need to. Best thing i ever learnt to do.

Always keep your old coils

I regret all the coils I threw out before I knew better to save and rebuild them!

I've been checking out them Kabuki tanks myself :) & at ToolManTexas I went an ordered myself the part for a kf lite
Have they come down in price any? The Kabuki tanks were pricey! :) Of course, money is no issue to some. ;)

Krisma I have been saving coils recently & I'm gonna have a try :) & LynnNc, just been looking an cheapest I've seen is 80$ so sadly not that cheap!
:shock: At $80, I won't be getting one at all! Wow! And it doesn't have a buildable deck but takes coils, right?

Yeah that's right from what I can remember :) I know it's steep right! The limited edition is 120$. I'll stick with my Triton I think, happy with it.
I'm with you! I've got a ton of tanks already that I can rebuild. I'm good! :thumb:
