They are testing out some new "skins", so perhaps that's what happened?

Okay, returning to the doggystyle with a bit of hesitation.... Surely I can get this thing working this time? Let's hope. At least I didn't drop my coilmaster kit on the way to my little installation deck...

The down side to NET's is, they gunk the coil MUCH quicker than artificial flavors. I use the ego one mega and change the coil after each tank full. The up side to NET's is, they are DELICIOUS!!! They are all I vape, although I do add a little caramel and/or vanilla to one or two of them, and apricot to another one.
Here is an old, but still going, thread listing some NET vendors. I have no idea which of them are still in business. Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux
If you want to make your own (as I do) here is where to find out how. Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol
And some opinions on different tobacco's. Best tobacco for flavor extraction
Keep in mind that most NET's require a lengthy steep. I've sampled some of mine after 3-4 weeks and thought they were either blah or terrible. Came back to them 3-4 weeks later and could easlily chain vape them.
I'd send you some samples but unfortunately, all of mine contain PG. I do however have a few extracts (alcohol based) that I could mix into VG only and send you. You would have to let them steep for 5-6 weeks before vaping, but I'd be happy to send them to you. You would have to add your own nicotine as all of mine is PG based. (I have over 6 liters made, steeped and ready to vape, so I think I can spare a few ML's.
) Shoot me PM if you want them.
If your tremor is like mine, the more precise you want to be, the worse the tremor is. Ugly coils vape really good, so maybe try just slopping one in there and see what happens.

Oliver is playing around with different settings. Right now they are currently trying to figure out how to get the best results in the 'Search' feature. When using the new skin, you will find several things going on that are different from time to time.
I don't think things will settle down for a few months. When they get it all figured out, things will go more smoothly from that point on. Until then, hang on for the ride!
I think he started another thread in Site Feedback and Help. Just keep an eye on that area for a while.
Okay, so my stupid doggystyle, ah, over an hour and I guess I did learn a lot. 1) Bracing. If I brace my arm on something, my tremor isn't as bad. One of the reasons I'd make a mean sniper (sort of) but not so much great aim with a handgun. Sigh. I only figured that out halfway through, though.
One of the screws fell out. That consumed about 20 minutes, figuring out a way to get it back in there. That's an unfortunate event.
Coil jig-- I don't like that thing. I can make a much nicer coil just winding, for whatever reason. With the coil jig, I kept getting overlapping coils, and I'd think that is BAD. I also had a very hard time getting the stupid legs to wrap around the coil without breaking off, and I had a few nice "let me burn through your awful coil" Mini-ohms reader moments.
I finally built a "nice" coil, (and it really was nice) 2.5 diameter which mean I really had to pay attention to my wicking. Which also was fine. I grabbed my IPV-5 since it's my beater mod, and then *IT* promptly died. May have been the batteries, I was using an older set, but I think it just died. So, I grabbed my lovely zelos mod, vaped for like 2 seconds, and then I kept getting "Atomizer short" message. I have no idea how it vapes, because I decided Le Doggystyle was pretty much going to kill any equipment I put it on, or something.
Honestly, the tank's not a leaker, and yeah, it was a small deck, but I mainly blame my darn fine tremor for all this, wicking looked fine, coil was actually pretty nice (1.22) and also some other mod I had wanted to read the resistance at 0.2, which made NO sense to me at all.
So far, my impressions of Le Doggystyle are not at all favorable. But, I think with my fine motor tremor, I can DEAL with problem solving. Just-- not today, no not TODAY. 1.5 hours is way enough to try and play with ONE tank, resulting in spectacular failure.
Have I mentioned how much I appreciate the Kabuki lately???

The depressing part is I could've gone through all that fail in about 20 minutes, before. I mean, 20 minutes to reinstall a small screw is just super lame, but with my fine motor tremor it took using BOTH the ceramic tweezers AND my large screwdriver to even drop it back in the hole and start screwing. Yes, I did just write that. I feel entitled to, because that's what happened. I don't mind a bunch of fail, but a bunch of slow, pathetic fail is really a PITA. I'm going to assume this is a "growth" experience, and I will master that tank at some point, I mean, I WILL.... I really hate slow, tremor-y failure though, let me tell you. I think I'm going to have to approach coiling now in a whole different way.
I apologize in advance for this post, I'm just really, really cranky now. I was all excited my tank was not leaking! Getting ready to vape it! Etc. LOL.

That's an excellent idea, the SS thing.That's true, and why I keep that info in my SS for each device, and atty.
Also, when you are bored, and decide to pass some time by wrapping a few coils to get ahead, first thing you know, you have a half a lifetime supply because they last so long.

Magnetic screwdriver.
You have a lot more patience than I do.
Yes, and I'm sure the husband has hundreds of them somewhere, but I was like, "What if there is no magnetic screwdriver in the bunker?" and decided to keep on going.
This is one of the very few times someone has accused me of having more patience than them. Thank you.
. It's kind of an odd but pleasant experience...

Um... ooops, I guess.
I just ran my books for 2016 (I was forced to get an extension for my 2016 taxes and they're coming due). I might have spent a bit too much on vape...

use less pressure to avoid the wire overlapping
If you weren't down in Tucson I'd be happy to help you in person
