Is your house grounded correctly?

5 7/22

Probably not. I can't run the a/c and the microwave at the same time.
But the reason for replacing everything was lightening hit the cable wire at the end of the driveway. In thru TV out to electrical bypassed the surge protectors. Since then I try to keep everything unplugged unless in use...

 

[Schnarph]

Schnarf, be sure to post those voltage drop results on The Natural. Love mine and would be very interested to see what you find out!

That's going to be relative to the battery used and the quality off the atty as well. In order to do a truly scientific experiment, the results are meaningless with so many unaccounted variables. All I can do from my end is compare my mods to each other. If all the connections are cleaned, hit with a bit of conducting paste, sanded if possible, and the same fully charged battery and atty are used, I can make a comparison. I will post some numbers for you though, for whatever it's worth.

Good evening all!
Just finished laying in a new sub floor in my mom's hall... where what a cluster

CHAT

I working on a juice flavored with fruit from The Philippines. I was thinking about naming it either Filipino Punch or Filipino Sun. Rpad likes illation of Pinoy Punch. Any opinions?

I'm digging the Pinoy Punch Sounds more exotic...

After 3 or 4 tries, I haven't had a problem since. One SS mesh wick has been running fine for a month now. I do clean it at least every week- boiling water rinse followed by a quick torching and it's ready to go again. I can totally understand not wanting to bother with them, the learning curve sucks. Almost every day I think about how far some of us will go with this vaping thing, including myself. It started as a healthier alternative to smoking, at least for me. My previous money eating hobbies have fallen to the side since I found ECF...

It'll take me six-months DIYing my juice and buying no new toys to break even on my vaping expenditures to date.
But I am having lots of fun!;-)

Cable systems should also be grounded, including where yours comes into the house... The solid copper wire should be the path of least resistance...

Just want to join in the contest and say Hi to all the fellow ECFers out there!

 

[GaMntGirl]

Tell that to my provider. Lol. They will not fix or run new cable here so it's satellite for us.
I was turning in the driveway when it hit the pole/cable. It was loud!!!

Percentages may still be relevant, no?

1- Wow can not sleep, tomorrow is going to suck for sure, well today now lol. Yes it is crazy fast, I need to get my a go-pro so I can mount it on my hat and film my flights.
There are several good planes to start off on but there is a new one that is crazy easy to self learn on E-flite Apprentice S 15e RTF with SAFE Technology (EFL3100) | Horizon Hobby - Radio Control R/C Planes, RC Airplanes, RC Helis and Helicopters, RC Cars, RC Trucks, RC Truggys, RC Boats, RC Radios, RC Engines, parts, hop-ups, and accessories depending on the setting of the gyro's it can keep you out of a lot of trouble, still best to have someone help you but it can do it as well.

Thanks for the link Sky, that looks just like what he's looking for, we watched all the reviews on it, and i have to say i love the panic switch function... Hope you made it through the day with no sleep....

#2 Too funny! did you actually click on the pic and look at it enlarged? I didn't take this pic, but that dog's face is sooo hilarious!
Sorry the pic is so small. I'm not especially skilled at posting. I don't know how to post larger pics or use gifs or any of that jazz. I know a couple people here have posted instructions. I should have saved them to a post-it.

Yeah i did click on it and even used the zoom function on my Mac to see the cute puppy even better, it is funny but thats just the cutest little pup I've seen... awwwwwwwww

Get a ground rod and some #6 wire and attach it to your system at the entry point. Dig a hole about 6" deep, and lay the rod in the ground. When you leave you can dig it up and take it with you. This is not regulation depth, but I am saying that so digging it up is easier. The rod and wire will be cheaper in the long run than computers and appliances. If you can that is.

1 all day dripping. A first for me but enjoying every moment. I'm thinking I sold my nimbus wayyyy to fast.

I have to say Dripping is my #1 way to Vape, pure flavor and tons of vapor.... Enjoy

 

[tiggerrts]

And with that I should bid you all a fair well and good night. Have to get up real early for a very long day at work. Good night all, sleep well.

Being able to retrieve the grounding rod, to me, is not nearly as important as gaining the added protection from basting that sucker 4+' deep... I consider it a few dollars well spent. the wire, however...
Just saying...

Goodnight tiggerrts...

GaMnt... I love my Dish Network system, until the wind picks up too much...

 

[GaMntGirl]

Dish is good till we get storms here. They interfere and we lose satillite. We lose phone service when it's wet outside.
I liked AT&T tv,phone & Internet but can't get it here. Can't wait till son graduates and we can move to where my family is. We've been near his for 16 years. My turn plus that's where the kids will be.

I have dish network and i never lose signal unless theres snow on it and i just throw a snowball at it, fixed....
Maybe they didn't align the dish well enough, i say that because when we first got it a cloud would give us signal loss, and if it rained just forget watching TV till it cleared up lol, i called them and they came out to find the Dish was not even close to being setup right. Just saying..

I've never had the opportunity to go to a vape store. the closest one is probably three hours away.
It's all online for me.

 

[Natey]

@5 7/22
Same here SJ, well theres a few about 1-2 hours away, but not worth the drive and gas money. Well i do like to drive, but not for a few items, online with $6 priority shipping, get it in 2 days... I can wait... lol

 

[GaMntGirl]

Originally it was set up no signal loss ever. Then they decided to come out and move it to our front yard. Problems ever since and they won't put it back!

I can hardly wait for my FT order. It's only a 510 drip per, but I'm really looking forward to the experience and (for DIY) convenience when swapping flavs.
I'm sure I'll eventually (like next month?) get into RBAs, but I'm not ready for that much tinkering.

Yeah, I need to call them. I adjusted it myself, once, and improved the ss, but it still goes out w/ 25+MPH winds.
