Manual Milling machine used like normal people would use a drill press.

Perfectly opens air holes on RDAs every time. Extremely repeatable. Very controllable. Though, if I had to pay for it, I wouldn't.


In all seriousness, my favorite thing is my nice set of wire cutters. I don't understand people who use nail clippers...those things wear out. I think my wire cutters are 10 years old, and they cut both wick & wire on the first try. Totally worth $8. Though they're probably less useful if you're only fiddling with RDAs. I've switched completely over, and I don't fancy going back.

That is a sweet setup, man.

I drilled a 7/32 hole in the phone mount and threaded a ego adapter in to I like the swivel mount so I can angle it as needed. The magnifying glass is harbor freight.

Too rich for my blood.. you fancy ;) lol

Eta.. Mcalister's deli has the best napkins. Super absorbent .. I'm not greedy tho.. i just grab 3 or 4 lol
Gotta save where I can so I can afford the good paper towels;-)

Long ago I worked in a college computer lab that was all Jelly Bean iMacs. I routinely carried a "iMac debugging tool" which consisted of an unbent paper clip that could be used for fixing so many things on the iMac.

I have discovered my iMac debugging tool has a new life in vaping. Wind coils around it. use it to nudge errant coil loops. give the center tube on a carto or clearo a scrape. Yep it is back in my wallet just like it was years ago. Never leave home without an iMac debugging tool.

I was wondering about syringes for refilling cartos. While I was buying refillable cartos and e-juice, I happened to see syringes, and I thought it might be a good idea, especially if it's metered to administer just the amount for a particular carto.

What do you guys think? Is it worth it, or just a waste of time?

I use syringes for many many vaping things. I am not sure I owuld bother premeasuring how much juice to put in the carto but it def helps getting the juice down along the side into the filler material. For SOME clearomizers (not the same thing as cartomizers) they are required. See the video on this page Smokeless Image | The Best Electronic Cigarette (no that clearo does not work with your 510 blu but there are others). I also use syringes ALOT with DIY juice.

Edit: this site http://www.tasteyourjuice.com/ has some excellent beginners tutorials on cartos

Remove the plastic cap or drip tip. Fill silicone carto condom 3/4 full of juice put the condom on the threaded end of the cart slowly wait a few minutes. If carto foam is slushy looking your done if not drip a few drips on the foam now vape.
