Fancy pantsy scissors. There is nothing like re purposing something old that is still useful. :)

That's really funny, I use a pair of crane scissors for vaping too, mine are used to cut dirty wick out.

... I bought some thrum scissors but they were cheap garbage...

I had to google to find out what thrum sissors are...I found a really old pair in my Mom's sewing room a while back and asked if I could have them for cutting wick,she said take them.I do like them BUT I seem to have misplaced them.:(

You should see what i had to go through with Crohns disease until i found something tgat worked.

In adult diapers from uncontrolled ........, literally unable to leave the house because never knowing when or where the next flare would hit, flatulence that smelled like something dead, weak and run down all the time didnt feel like doing anything , pain so intense it made me scream. If i ate beans, peppers, green beans with strings, tomato peels in a salad or tomato sauce. I had HELL to pay in an hour or so.

Crohns uncontrolled is like H E double hockey sticks.

Now that i found something that worked for me; Crohns is now a minor inconvenience. I have only haf two minor flares total in 2017. 12 years ago i had that many major flares a week.

When the end of life comes for a loved one, it really puts things in perspective. I'm having lots of deep thoughts (not with Jack Handy, but I'd appreciate him now! [emoji4]).
With vaping, we've all taken a major step in improving our health and longevity. My husbands step mom has poor circulation from heart problems. Yesterday I saw her lower leg for the first time. I suffer from many skin issues that cause me itchy rashes. Let me tell you, I'll NEVER complain about my rash again. I can't get the image of that swollen, cracked and weeping skin out of my mind. I was crying as I tried to put ointment on it as gently as I could. I can't imagine the discomfort she must be feeling.
So keep taking care of yourself, it makes a huge difference, especially towards the end.
Thanks again guys, my heart is full today as I felt each and every one of your wishes in my heart.

ABSOLUTELY!

They are also great for protecting your mod from being scratched up by attys like the Goblin Mini and others.

I bought a few rainbow ones and a few black, all the finned type(all 22mm to fit my subtank mini's) and they work good. I am more using them as 510 thread savers than heat dissipaters. It takes a lot to adjust the threads but it can be done, tried on one but the work involved thinking I was going to strip the slotted screw, it wasn't worth doing it to the other adapters . There is a small space between the top of the adapter and bottom of my subtank on all my hitters but can be changed is your wanting to go at it. I do have several more in my cart, they are good to have on hand.

I keep my building tools in plastic box about. 3x4x1.5 inches. I got scissors that fold up so they fit with coil jig, fingernail clippers to snip tge wire spare deck screws, screw drivers and O rings. My roll of Kantgal sits on top of the box with my ceramic tweezers.

Do scissors made for cotton wick work better than regular scissors?

I use sewing scissors, I definitely find them useful and plenty sharp enough for my purposes, the "scissors" that came with my coilmaster kit were total junk and absolutely useless. I will say they are the only really useless thing in there.

I really like the heat sink idea for not stripping my threads, and I have some in my FT cart now too, for their looks. I'm not going to ship a five dollar items on its own... so it may be a while.

Yep! Crazy here too. We got stocked up last week. We got an extra three cases of water on Saturday and Monday they limited purchases to two cases of water.

Hope for the best but plan for the worst.

:thumbs: YEP ! ! ! :thumbs:

AND - Although I posted this elsewhere it seems appropriate to for here too . . .

What really gets "Me" is the people who live in Hurricane prone areas should always be ready to pick-up and go or hunker down . . . This MAD RUSH around everywhere to get supplies is insane at times . . . Learned a long time ago when I moved here to get supplies when the "Season" starts and just keep up with the bare necessities as NEEDED . . . Matter of fact, got extra batteries during free tax school weekend, filled up with Gas just last week and then topped it off yesturday. . . All that's left to do is, take "Stuff" out of harms way, gonna start "getting rid" of perishable foods, charging recyclables, and finally finish packing extras I want to take with "Me" to best friends home (which is out of the Flood area where I live) and pack car up . . . SO - READY - SET - * * * * If "Irma" does come closer or ashore * * * * GO. . . Just Sayin' . . . :facepalm:

When I lived on the east coast it was usually milk and TP. I have no idea why these items are so appealing as neither one is truly necessary, but we lived slightly below the fall line, so when storms came, so did the headless chickens. The one memorable storm I lived through back East me and the First Husband were trapped in my mom's house for several days. He got SO CRANKY and I couldn't figure out why until we finally got out, and the first stop was the liquor store, :lol:, he seemed less cranky after that.

My parentally gifted Volvo had an alternator/battery problem and it conked out by the side of the road during a snowstorm when the kid was tiny, like 5 months old.... A nice couple in an SUV drove us the remaining 6 miles home as we were wandering down the road and I was attempting to keep the kid warm. The following day, I purchased my first new car, though.

And yes, be prepared to either hunker down, or get out fast. In AZ, the monsoons can get pretty bad, plenty of drivers get carried away by sudden washes forming. The last time we had a big one I was collecting the kid, and I told him after that, I wasn't going to do it anymore.... My little Mazda 3 is tanklike and overpowered, so I skimmed over or ploughed through many of them, and I know the "safest" routes out to most anywhere.... but it wasn't enjoyable at all.... When I was working at the tribe, if it started raining I'd just leave early, their "road planning" makes Tucson look good and I fried the entire electrical system in my Black Bug one time. This wasn't a bad thing, I HATED that car, but it was also not inexpensive....
