Krossing fingers and toes for MINIMAL impact from the Matt, LJF!!!

Gawd willing, the spaghetti trackers got all their rotini in a row and it heads out to the wilds of the Atlantic immediately.

EXCUSE ME ! ! ! "LFP" is on the SW Coast - Gulf . . . I am on the SE Cost - Atlantic . . . SO Ya' want it closer to the other coast . . . I'll remember that . . .

Wow, there's a whole bunch of us in this forum from Florida. I hope everyone has lots of batteries and power banks and what I call a "hurricane bag" all packed with emergency rations.

Good night everyone.

Yep - Enough for at least 3 weeks if not a week or 2 more (Meds 3 months) . . . Just Sayin' . . . ;)

After being without power for 17 days after Wilma, we are never without hurricane/storm supplies.


Nor any phone or internet either for almost 4 weeks . . .

And water, and canned goods, and propane for the grill, etc. After being without power for 17 days after Wilma, we are never without hurricane/storm supplies.
Yup all that too.

We're saving money to get a small generator but we wont have it to for this hurricane. I spent all our extra money on stocking up :rolleyes:

Yep, no point in having a generator if you don't have batteries to charge!

(Although in a pinch, there are adapters so you can charge from your car's power outlet. ;) )
I actually have this power thingy that plugs in the car's cig lighter. I bought it years ago when I traveled for part of my work and had to plug my laptop in it whose battery was useless. It has a regular power outlet on it in which I could plug my charger.

That would be an inverter :)

Converts 12VDC to 120 VAC, and come in different power levels and qualities, depending on the chips.

There are also adapters that switch the 12VDC to 5VDC for USB connections.

My XStar came with a car adapter so it can plug straight into the lighter socket.

Yup my eFest Luc4 has the car adapter as well. Nice accessory to have.

Well - Living in an apartment complex for Seniors there is no way to have a generator (Legally) and after Wilma and not having electricity/phone service for almost over a month, no matter what the cause for the outage - I have no intention to be without some short of electrical source to charge what I NEED . . .

So besides using a power inverter (actually have 2 . . . 1 w/USB ports & 1 for use w/"Plugs") that can be used with a car cigarette lighter (or connected to an external Car Battery) . . . I also have 2 External Power Packs (1200 mAh & 10000 mAh) and a 20 Watt Solar Power Panel w/2 USB Outputs and can be connected to a plug too . . .

OH & BTW: I even have a couple of "Hand Crank" devices also . . . :facepalm:

Simple & Elegant, great tank, suitable for MTL, or slightly restricted DTL, extremely well machined, uses Kayfun 4 glass so no worries about replacements.

Single 1mm, 1.5mm, or 6.3mm x 2mm fully adjustable slotted airflow which shuts down completely. Easy build approximately 22G max wire size, my only dislike, post holes are a bit small. Posts seem to do a great job trapping wire. Top fill capable.

The tiny 19mm chamber filled with with coil and your favorite wicking material make it even smaller plenty of room for a decent sized coil . All this leads to fantastic flavor.

PEEK insulators, PEEK Juice flow tubes. Easy Deck/build access without draining.

IMO this is everything the Flash-E-Vapor should have been. Flash is a decent atty, but a few things led it to be predominantly a dust collector for me.

@TrollDragon Think your going to like yours when you get it.

Currently ships next day status.
$17.29 Origen OT22 Styled RDTA Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomizer - 5ml / 316 stainless steel + acrylic / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Mine arrived today!
O-RINGS... I haven't see so many o-ring on an atty. :lol:

I put a 26g build in mine, but I pulled the thinned tails under the coil to the back via the post cutouts. Fluffed it all up, filled it and she poured out the air hole. There was no enough Rayon at the back to touch the filler tubes. :facepalm:

I'm going to rewick it later like you did with the wick around and over the posts.

I picked up the 304 version as the 316 wasn't in stock at the time. I will now have a use for spare KFV4 glass. ;) Pic's later when it's vaping nicely!

From what I did vape before the flood, I think the 19/22 will be a daily driver. :thumbs:

I'll likely experiment with builds a bit, though this first one works well enough, saturation is very good, successfully top filled it with no leaking though it did get pretty wet during the process, sort of like over dripping. I got the same one I linked but from 3F, simply because I had a $5.00 GC. Yours may end up being assembled correctly but mine the metal piece where the bottom of the tank sits had no o-ring, and no place for it to go. Closer examination revealed that piece was reversed, added an o-ring and assembled correctly. I couldn't see an o-ring on any of ad pics, may not be needed for the plastic, but the glass would not have sealed very well without it.

Running 90VG in it right now, very nicely. Interestingly I never had much luck with the little plastic feeder tubes on any of my TGS' or FEVs this one seems to really work well with them.

Picking up the Tinytank for the microstick seeing how well this works.

If I hadn't bought the adapter kit a couple of weeks ago I don't think I'd be using the X. For me, it brought it to life! Oh, and the 1.8 coils!
