Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[Krisma]

Got 3 more kicks en route along with two more Nemmies. The first one was the "inexpensive" <$9 model, just to give it a try. Grabbed a couple more over the weekend, and they already are marked as shipped! Love how compact they are - even in 18650 mode. Simple elegance IMHO.

I'm going to order sets of copper contacts to replace the plated ones. Also ordered magnets to update all the switches.....

Very nice with a simple 1.6Ω PT2 head..... Very nice

I put kicks in all my mechs and wood box mods. Brilliant little device.

I could never pinkie fire mods so all of my tube ones are top fire (bod mecha and poldiac) I did however use nemesis tubes to give a sleeker look to my poldiacs. I miss the simple beauty of the tube mods .

I don't pinky-fire. My fingers hold it mid-point, and the base of my ring-finger fires it.

Love me some Nemi! Just wish the lock ring wasn't so slick!

You guys made me dig out my GP Paps v3, now there's a nice vape. I switched to the shorter 510 pin and now I'm running it in 18350 mode kicked! (it's an 18490 device)

The feel of a single tube mod with a feather touch firing button that still lets you set it down without firing is really great! Plus the locking ring is less than 1 full turn to lock the device. Everything is spring loaded so there's no adjusting for battery rattle. I'm running my MBV 510 Kakuki on it and it's vaping really well

If you can find a Paps v3, I would highly recommend it I know Vapourart still has them for 75.00 euro if you don't mind ordering from outside the US...

I know, RIGHT????? I thought a giggle for you would make you feel better (didn't quite expect the guffaw! )

I laughed so hard I nearly coughed up a lung! Then of course I had to blow my honker after that. Then I was exhausted.
But it was worth it!!!

I've done a bit of interwebz searching, and I'm not seeing anything about this

Here's some Tootle Puffy Goodness

My life right now. Trigger warning!

Spoiler

I'm suffering severe. My hallucinations has gotten worse. My depression is worse than ever. I've gotten into serious self harm. And during the night before today I took an drug and pill overdose so severe I nearly died. My life barely got saved. My brother was who saw me and called the ambulance. I'm now on observation and they suspect my liver is severly damaged after months of drug, alcohol and pill abuse and overdoses.

I don't know how to cope anymore. I've picked up smoking again. I

Thus why I haven't been posting here. Just thought you guys deserved an update.

I'm so sorry you've been going through this @Vapez! I'm adding you to my prayer list. I've been very close to the same place. I wish I had more to offer you comfort.

One of the Aussie girls posted it and I couldn't find anything. I have asked but as yet no response.

I don't know that Provape has officially announced it, but with them being on sale, and regularly in the clearance section, then with Zen starting a thread over what the last color to go will be, it's pretty easy to say the writing is on the wall! If you want one badly, watch the clearance section, I've seen them as cheap as $30 in there. I've been tempted to get another myself, but can't bring myself to pull the trigger.

I knew about all the speculation but I had not seen anything official.
The $30 were in the blemished category and they had flash 10% off at the same time. A lot of us picked them up. I have a nice sized collection across the colour range.

Also I always like to check official sources whenever I can. Else it becomes Chinese whispers.

I dunno, just Googled it and found nothing. I just thought it was odd Zen started that thread so I "assumed" they were going extinct.
I can't say I'm feeling the love for this TC thing. Switched back to the Theorum tonight as I'm having bad cravings, loaded it up with the RY4 juice I have and went on my way. Vape was hot, juice was crackling, all seemed to be well. As the evening has gone on, it seems to have cooled, it's not cracking and popping like it was and vapor production has gone down. I checked, still at 310 deg and 35 watts, so nothing has changed. I cranked it up to 330 deg and even then it still seems cooler?
Is it in my head? Is this normal, once the wick is soaked it settles in? So far, I'm honestly liking VW better. I can do a Kanthal build, use less juice, make my batteries last three times longer, and get the same vape?

At the levels And the gear I use....it's easier to stick with VW

Y'all have been chatty. Please consider all "liked" (well, y'all are LOVED in my book )

In "honor" of Master @TrollDragon, I had to revive the "Rayon TD Mullet" (and to give you ALL a hearty laugh this evening) I present:

Spoiler: Mary's Mullet

This is circa 1994 when I was working for an engineering firm which developed test equipment for electric motor manufacturers. Sooooo NOT pretty (but at least my hair was not grey!)

MARVELOUS MARY MULLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great pic, sweetie. A keeper BIG time!!!

If I were to get some spare change, I would try J-Wraps for a more satisfying feel in the hand-- like traction.

Funny, 3mg, but I often grab for the devices that are J-wrapped as well. I love the non-slippery feeling, and they always look ...... welp...... clean!

Have anyone got a link to the announcement that provari is stopping production of the 2.5

??????? ??????

I'm pretty sure I (or someone) would have seen that in one of the Provi chat threads.... but I've been with my head in the Dooming Damming Regs for daze now, so I might have missed something.

Link, please, saw?

I guess it wasn't Zen that started it, but he did post in it, guessing game: which 2.5 will be the last to go?

I don't think there was a formal announcement. But, someone did talk to Provape about it and was told that it was true. I've been looking for the post, but can't find it. It was in one of the Provari threads.

When they first marked them down to 30.00 someone on The Porches or The Overlooked Tootle Puffers Gear thread emailed them & got a reply that yes, they are discontinuing them.

Oh, it wasn't a Provari thread? Maybe that's why I couldn't find it. Too many threads to remember!

I've also got something else on its way to me that my husband has ordered for my birthday later this month but he won't give me any clues as to what it is, but as a non-vaper he did assure me he'd done some research

A lathe ...

LOL - I hope not ! I'm itching to trawl through his emails but I won't .... I won't .... I won't ......
