Tootle Puffers, Redux (The Sequel)

Personal Preference

Sorry if somewhat of my posts sound stupid, been sick for a week and it sucks!!

I've been sick for about 5 wks now, and I finally bit the bullet and went to the doctor yesterday. He gave me a chest x-ray, took various body fluids, poked and prodded pretty much everything he could reach, and couldn't find much of anything wrong with me... except the raging sinus infection that I thought all along was behind the constant fevers, OMG headaches, and general malaise. So now I'm taking Bactrim and hopefully should be back to my usual PITA self in a week or so. So I'm now $215 in the hole, and have to go back for a follow-up visit next week, another $75, but at least I know I'm not dying, and my self-diagnostic skills are still working just fine. And I don't have pneumonia or Hodgkins disease, per the chest x-ray, which admittedly is a great thing to know. Should find out the deets on the lab work when I go for the follow-up next week.

Same here mine is black or stainless.

When I first started vaping the only colours were black and silver (chrome or brushed) Hubby took black and all of mine was silver. I was so sick of silver that I did everything I could to get colour into my vaping. Hence the drip tips and tanks and matching coloured batteries. Back in those days you had to F5 a purple ego battery OMG how things have changed.

Being in Australia I would be awake at 3am with fingers poised just to get a tank and in some sales you got lucky and managed to buy the one you wanted. Thrill of the chase an all LOL

I've always liked the high-tech futuristic look, so all my starting vape gear looked like that -- I even got the stainless eRoll. But hey, I'm a girl even if I do like nerdy stuff, and after a while I wanted some color; I'd never be able to tolerate dangly bits, I don't even like those on my person, but I do like having some girlier looking mods nowadays.

Fired up an iStick 30 with a Eleaf GS Air-M today, forgot how tasty the little tanks are.

I look to get colored glass. This is a pic of my first homemade wood stand, but it shows the colors.

That's exactly what I mean. A flash of colour just makes it unique to you.

I luv that blue.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

Yes, the blue and silver on the silver IPV. The black toppers went with the black mod. That was about a year ago, but I still do it.

Not really when you consider rewicking. Plus I recoil or rewick about 10 coils at a time so virtually no downtime or spool of wire and tools required to recoil/rewick a T3.
just keep a small pill bottle with a few coils in my lunch bag. A couple of unicorn bottles of juice a few batteries and I am good to go for quite a while.

Just takes maybe 5 seconds to change a coil/wick when filling the T3.
rewick the used coil at my convenience which is no inconvenience.

I do about the same with those, as far as replace/rebuild, as for that type, it's a good strategy.

Why I have decided to not squonk until they come up with auto squonkers. When TC detects coil drying out it operates a little solenoid pump to squirt more juice into the atty. And if after atuo-squonking it does not see the resistance drop it beeps to let you know your juice bottle is empty.

Um, what happened to...

I am a techie but I am also a believer in the KISS principle of life.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

What happened to? Well I never said never, just that I currently have no use at all for TC in it's current primitive state at least.
TC at 8 watts may be ok but why would I need it at 8 watts?
Not many squonk at 8 watts.
Some day when I grow up I may be a major Klowd contender?

I just built the auto squonker in my head, but I could do it in reality as well all the tech is there to do it with.
the pump could be used from one of those squonker things that you stick to your windshield. Just use a solenoid to operate it. A few lines of code changed in the TC chipset and 2 outputs added one for a beep and one to operate the solenoid...
I could easially make a prototype with an arduino module and a bit of external circuitry. Mainly a mosfet to operate the solenoid.
The arduino modules could also read the resistance of the coil and control the wattage.

And it would still be KISS. Not having to remember to squonk would make it simple.

Just set your wattage/temp and simply fill the bottle when it tells you to

Kayfun fun

I love that wooden stand! Been looking at different ones to organize all my tanks in one!

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Got some Lexan to make a stand with. Can wash all the drippings off of it very well.

I have a 'duino, a Launchpad, a few STM32F's, an old Stellaris LM3S9B92 EVALBOT and a Renesas RX62N. The Raspberry Pi's were just coming out when I put all the development stuff in a box and packed it away. I got tired of all the code limited IDE's and wasn't going to purchase an unrestricted version just to tinker with some Cortex programming. Now they gather dust...

Ohh it is all slick and open now. Fun stuff. Just program the little rascals thru your USB port. Wifi and Bluetooth and lots of stuff.

I have just recently gotten ino it. the stuff is dirt cheap now.

i used to design circuits and program them.
My first computer training was on a CPU made almost entirely of dual input nand gates. All the registers, shifting, anding, oring, etc was done with latches make with dual input nand gates and such. and of course a Micro program network which was just a rom with patterns burned into it to make the "instructions" manipulate the chips. Of course it had Magnetic core memory Later moved up to dynamic ram.
Now with cheap tiny micros and cheap novrams itty bitty DAC's, DSP's and such it is easy to do stuff.

Madness, tootle puffing away on a Kanger Subtank!


Pssst, I'm not kidding

If there's a way to tootle puff on anything, folks in this thread will find it.

I just put one of the whistle-screws back into one of my Achilles; though the one I was using today is tight enough without the screw being there at all, the one I just dryburned and rewicked always seemed a lot looser to me, so I tightened it back up with its screw. Those things aren't easy to put back in; I got it started with one of the tiny blue screwdrivers, a phillips-head one, and once it was started, I was able to finish tightening it to flush with the hex-key thingie that came with it.

Where there's a will, there's a way

Not my idea, but I ran with it, 1.8Ω Aspire BVC coil onboard

Sounds like you started on a PDP8... I always wanted an Altair 8800 or IMSAI 8080 but never ever got one.

Hey tootle peeps, just dropping by to say I've now got the dream tootle set-up....
Provari radius and kabuki tank...been I'm flavor heaven all day

Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping
