4wheel4banger do you not read the rules before you enter contests? I know you don't read the posts in this thread so I don't know why I'm even replying to you. Please read the rules and don't get yourself blocked from this contest.

#1 for 08/26

But, I think I want him/her to be blocked. This is blatant trolling, IMO. But, then, what do I know? It isn't hurting me, I have no dog in the fight and I still can't understand why it bothers me. I noticed that this person has a boatload of posts for being so new. I think there are a lot of contest entries included.

Maybe I am grumpy? Ya think?!!!

3. 8/26 - Protank head rebuilds... I read the whole thread on this subject a couple of months ago, I can't find it anymore. 3mm silica will work, so will 2mm doubled up. I never tried it with Ekowool, but 2mm might work. Flavor wicks are not necessary after a rebuild. If you want 2 ohms or over, you'll probably want to use 32 gauge Kanthal. If I can find the thread later I'll be sure to post it. Here's a video, although he is by no means an expert (which he will admit)

Thats what I am leaning towards. He is such an ego driven vindictive ......., that i feel like he will do something to retaliate if i pull outta the show, i have seen him do this before... But its not good business to work with him or around him in any way. he brings almost nothing to the table however i am hesitant. creating bad blood in our small scene is never a good thing. i see him every weekend, and it creates tension. he needs to grow up and fix the errors of his ways. i no longer have his back. i wont slander him, nor will i support him.
he did this to himself, and i have given him plenty of chances to be legit.

i am at a point where i would rather throw a medium sized quality event everyother month and a Huge event 2-3 times a year and slow down all these shows that i work. doin 1-3 events a month has detracted the level of energy i usually like to put into one of my shows.
arhhhh........

LD, my advice would be to distance myself from the shady promoter. Associations like that can only hurt your own career.

My advice, for what it's worth!

I would recommend you ignore him in that case.
I do not have true moderator privileges and can't block someone from posting, so that is what ignore is best used for. :)

Most of the technical conversations so far today . . .

Then again, it's nothing new, since most of the time when it comes to the more advanced "Stuff" about these things (even all the different batteries) I'm like . . .

Just spoke to another promoter in town, an ally and great friend. He thinks i should pull from the event and not work with him. bad PR for my label and this town to continue to support this dude.
Shame, a lot of good and up-and-coming djs that i wanted to get some play at the next one.
i gotta stop worrying about it.

......... moving on

Met with Tish last night, handled a little co-op biz and got some EM (finally!!!) and some menthol! Along with some good advice, tips and conversation. I love how passionate Tish is about vaping, and is very knowledgeable.
Thanks for meeting with me so late in the day, always a pleasure!!

Well... first prototype is done. I learned a couple few things...
1) I really need a drill-press to keep the forstner bits straight, with a stage to lock down the work-piece
2) I need a 5/16" bit for the 510 connectors
3) " The Gripper" is a PITA to make a slot for...
4) I have No idea what to line the holes/slots with:confused:
5) I really need to use a router-table to get clean edge-profiles
6) I really have no idea what to line the holes/slots with...:facepalm:

Here's the first prototype

4. 8/26 - I ran across this thing, check out the engraved symbols... Amazing Price Ehpro Hornet Tank / aga atomizer with High Quality, View Ehpro Hornet Tank, Ehpro Product Details from Shenzhen Ehpro Technology Co., Ltd. on Alibaba.com

It reminds me of a mishap at a Chinese food restaurant. A customer became very upset after seeing the symbol, not knowing anything of its ancient history. Some folks aren't aware that the Nazis stole an ancient symbol that once meant nothing but good things. Party poopers!

That's awesome JAC!!
My buddy who I helped get back into vaping made one last week also!
I think I'd like to make my own also. I have one for my 8 fav juices and 16 tanks but nothing for mods. I'd buy one but the ones I want never have a slot for my EA clone side button.

I put a slot in for my EA, plan to make a few slotted holes, for similar, in the large, kitchen vape-organizer.
Found the flocking kit online to finish the interior...

Suddenly thinking: is there enough market for these? I can make a few jigs, for good precision work, if I had a market...
Decent drill-press... a few end-mills instead of forstner bits... ;-)
$500 investment and I could be ready to go...

I would never have thought to look that up and would never have known this bit of information. Sad that something so positive was so perverted.
