    Me? It depends on a number of factors. Sometimes I just re-wick, yeah. I always rinse, pulse-burn, and re-rinse though.

    OK, thanks. I had to redo one yesterday. It was so nasty with the juice I use that I took it completely apart, wash it, soaked it, washed again and dried over my air cleaner. PITA.

    Depends. I use mostly KF2 series, and leave the entire tank section together, taking it all off the deck as one piece. Pull the wick, clean all under hot running water. Dry burn and rewick. Don't see any need to do a full tear down, except rarely for deep cleaning.

    I could have done that, but with the juice I use the inside of the bell looked like a coal mine, so I just took it completely apart and started over.

    Believe me I wished I could use it. That's why I try ever so often.

    Have you tried PEG400? I use it in place of PG, which I am sensitive (not allergic) to, but more than10% in a mix gives me uncomfortablness and unpleasant pins and needles sensations, PEG400 is more viscous than PG (I think) but not quite as thick as VG, but it may work for your purposes, if you want to thicken things up a bit. Nicotine River sells it for cheap, last I checked. I started with a small bottle off amazon from Tractor Supply. I like it. I'd say do your research first, (I did, and found nothing terrible) but still... It's your body and etc so I would say do your due diligence.

    I am for whatever quarterback is the ugliest. Not in their personal life (a certain Colin somebody springs to mine) but just... How they look. My mom and sis get on the culty bandwagon of "the quarterback to root for that they'd most like a football THROWN at their nether regions.) It has been John Elway, and now it's freaking Tom Brady and when I saw him get CREAMED at the last Superbowl, I was so happy, just because I knew my mommy and sis would be so sad. LOL.

    He's not even that hot. He's super old, and I bet if you snagged him as a spouse you'd be putting up with concussive brain injury syndrome (well, you'd have servants but still.)

    I'm rooting for the super fat linebacker who where he puts his helmet on you notice he has no neck. LOL.

    This digression brought to you by HAPPY NEW YEAR! Mine has been tragic so far, I'm going back to free will from trying out 'everything is predetermined so it doesn't matter what I do.: The two days I lived like that... were not my best work, let me put it that way.

    Resolution: don't die. Or become homeless. I'm adding the homeless part just in case, even tough I currently have TWO homes, sorta.

    I gotta go with Otto Graham. According to wiki: Graham is regarded by critics as one of the most dominant players of his era, having taken the Browns to league championship games every year between 1946 and 1955, winning seven of them.
    Although I hate to say i Brady still ranks the best.
    • Tom Brady (4.87)
    • Peyton Manning (3.57)
    • Joe Montana (3.32)
    • Brett Favre (2.64)
    • Otto Graham (2.58)
    • Johnny Unitas (2.30)
    • John Elway (2.24)
    • Terry Bradshaw (2.16)

    If recall correctly when Graham played, QBs called their own plays. In his case Paul Brown was the play caller.

    Unitas - Multiple Championships, Multiple MVP's, Retired with all Major Passing Records, and his preformance in the '58 and '59 Championship games lifted the profile of the NFL, ushering in weekly national television.
    Manning - Multiple Championships, Multiple MVP's, Retired with all Major Passing Records.
    Graham - Multiple Championships, Multiple MVP's. Icon of his era.
    Brady - Multiple Championships, Multiple MVP's, Suspended for cheating.
    Favre - One Championship, Multiple MVP's, Retired with all Major Passing Records.
    Montana - Multiple Championships, Multiple Super Bowl MVP's.
    Tarkenton - Retired with all Major Passing Records.
    Marino - Retired with all Major Passing records.
    Elway - Multiple Championships.
    Brees - One Championship, a few Passing Records (so far)

    Decide for yourself. I say Unitas.

    I vote Johnny U too.

    I do wonder if all the "mystery signals" that get thrown/spoken about would make some sports more interesting? Surely baseball, I mean, I have heard their code signals spoken about as if they were harder to decode than to play bridge, plus it takes them 5 minutes between plays.

    Does anyone remember the year ABC decided to mike up some of the football players (I think it was ABC) and they had to hastily rescind the program because their curse filter could not keep up?

    I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed that brief football "moment" and I kind of think those telecasts belong in the Football Hall of Fame. :lol::lol:

    Oh God do I gotta call my family again and say Happy new year sees like Christmas was just a minute ago.

    No you said oil and according to the internet Gods (and I quote) "Chemically it's quite different from vegetable or animal oils.".:shock::eek::D:D
    Believe me I wished I could use it. That's why I try ever so often.

    Maybe try to run down some VG that's not made from the same as what you have? I.e. if what you have is palm base, try soy or coconut?

    I could have done that, but with the juice I use the inside of the bell looked like a coal mine, so I just took it completely apart and started over.

    Yeah, they do sometimes need that! :w00t:

    That's what I'm using. I'm fine with where I am at pg85/15vg mix. I do however thank you for the tip.
    If I wasn't "not even that hot" I'd marry you. Not that you'd have me but anyone that thinks that about those 2 quarterbacks has my heart. Now if you threw in Cam Newton I would be hopelessly sprung.
    Colin somebody I think you're speaking of Kaepernick. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer for sure. He gives up a yearly multimillion dollar salary trying to make a point about police brutality by refusing to stand for the anthem. Which if you think about it the police brutality is a problem in the police dept. that is either a city, county, or state problem. Raising the Flag is a national thing. He got what he wanted though publicity. All it cost him was his yearly multimillion dollar career. He hasn't worked a day since. Even if he did land another contract it wouldn't be as lucrative as the one he was getting. And football careers, according to the NFL Players Association the average career length is about 3.3 years, so he's running out of time. Although good quarterbacks are working around 6 to 8 yrs. It's a classic case of the derriere overloading the pie hole. Something I am well aware of.

    LOL my husband is 10 years older and I call him "the hobbit" because he looks like one (he lost 1.5 inches breaking his necks so he looks slightly misshapen and stuff, he is (often, not right now but he's fixing the house) stout around the middle and he has hairy feet. A lot of his relatives look that way too. LOL, I just happen to love him, I so can't help it. For my third marriage (if he dies before me which OMG OMG OMG he just told me he coughed up blood before going to the urgent care I have a total THING about that) so he may well die, well I'm out for cold, hard cash. You don't have to be a Colin Kapernick or whatever, I mean I don't need millions or anything so like, maybe enough for a servant, or even a freaking maid every week. LOL.

    Yeah, I was not a fan of that protest I really thought that concussive brain injury was gonna ruin football, not some quarterback taking a knee.... In my more conspiratorial moments I wonder if the NFL commissioner did that, to distract from the whole brain thingy. Only I don't think the commissioner is that smart, or even that whimsical. LOL.

    But yeah, I married once for idiocy, once for love, and if I did it again it would be for cold, hard cash. Simply because the process of getting to know how to live with someone is SO HARD, I think it would go better with servants on board, honestly .

    So fi you want to throw your hat into the ring, well the husband is like coughing up blood and still; smoking, so yea, the cash filled hat can apparently be FLUNG in there, man. He kept saying his doctor "looked disgusted with him" and know I know why.

    LOL I am of course joking about most of this... but not the BLOOD. OMG I am making a PCP appointment TOMORROW morning.

    One cool side effect of vaping: less worry about "blood in the lungs" OMG OMG OMG. LOL.

    Oh he'll probably be fine. He's done dumber stuff and lived.

    Appalachia Dentistry: He pulled out a bad tooth with rusty garage pliers. He did have to sit down afterwards.

    He's used to it, too, learned at the foot of his mother: One time he filleted a bunch of his arm and she calmly looked at it, got out the hydrogen peroxide and sewed it up herself. She's a master of counted cross-stitch BUT STILL.

    I don't believe in that crud, but my parents were geneticists, so like, to everyone who has PAID to opt into the government monitored "Ancestry.com" you are welcome I told my parents as a teen that every "OH my GOSH no there are ETHICS involved THINGS THAT would never happen" genetic tale of woe was gonna happen. In my life time. I said it was human nature and they said I was cynical and I was like, "I am totally not stopping you from spending your MERC takeover acquired money from ME but I'm TELLING YOU this is gonna suck."

    But, I am also never ever ever gonna do genetic testing no way, no how nuh huh NOPE.

    I guess it's good to not need doctors all the dang time, I work in the healthcare field too so I know it's not all sunshine and roses, either.

    I AM SICK HOWEVER OF EVERYONE GONIG ON AND ON about kids earaches leading to ANTIBIOTIC resistance when they feed our FUTURE MEAT ANTIBOITICS and then we eat it. I really....

    I despair sometimes. LOL.

    Great Review of the iStick Amnis/GS Drive Kit...Foggy...:thumbs:

    Since the Goby is slowly disappearing from the scene...(and is my current go to for Out & About)...I'm always looking for an alternative...

    But I can, now, ignore the Amnis...with its Direct Voltage...

    (Same reason that I've dismissed the Aspire Breeze-2.)

    Forgot to mention the proprietary drip tip on this tank. You can't change it. The top of the tank has a small nub sticking up that the driptip slides over. NO BLINGY DRIP TIPS for this one Kat.

    Oh, I've got some bling trix up my sleeve for proprie drip tips. ;)

    It's cute, Foggy! Enjoy it.

    Oh Anna I'm so sorry.
    My wife is in the hospital right now. But we've been separated for over 25 yrs. I stay married to her so I can't make that mistake again. I love being single. Do what I want, when I want, and how I want.
