I made meatloaf for dinner..I am not a big fan..the vet would have a hissy fit if he know I gave my cat the leftover meat.

2: I hated meatloaf as a kid, and never thought I would like it. A couple we knew as friends before they moved showed us a family recipe after we ate it. I have made it since and it is good. 2lbs of hamburger meat browned with salt and pepper to taste, add minced onion to taste. It calls for a tablespoon of wischershire (sp) sauce and sugar and a cup of ketchup. I add the sauce and sugar to taste and substitute the ketchup with condensed tomato sauce. I make a big smiley face of mustard at the end on top of the hamburger and add five drops of Tobassco sauce on top and stir. Simply easy and good.

5. 8/27 - Fancy new vapemail today, a Kick II! Stuck it in my SB Kick sleeve and it misfires just like the Kick clones, but works fine in 18490 mode with a Kick. How can a simple tube not function? Just when I was going to change my avatar back... Buh-bye Silver Bullet.

Possibly on the hunt for a replacement 1" diameter mod that would look good with a VVV pyrex tank on top (also 1" wide). Kickable would be nice, otherwise I'll just stick with what I make myself.

4: Like your post Snarf because you got the Kick II, not the other stuff.

5: A bump for you LD, it was a bump for me. Done getting ready for tomorrow, eating at the moment.

time for a couple battery questions; Schnarph, i'd love some input from ya

For the mech i have comin in, which battery would be best for me to use. I plan on using it primarily with .9-1.7 ohm RBAs.
Should I get a short stop, 2 cents or something similiar, and if so, where would be the least expensive place to find one?

I have Panny 18650NCRs from slow-tech. i use them in my vamo and really like them. they are only one letter different than the ones Joe pimps (NGR?) is there a big difference between the two? i cant figure this out and have been stumped with this question for a bit...

And lastly, would these pannys work in the mech?

chat- Hmmm.... sexy people.... Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad is pretty sexy. And so is Anna Gunn.

I could list lots of people I think are sexy, and it wouldn't include any of these skinny little hot messes.

Here, for your entertainment, is a very sexy, talented and hilarious youtuber. I'm a big fan of this guy.

I guess since I am not a chocolate and peanut butter ice cream fan that flavor of juice won't make it to my doorstop

Let's say those batteries are not true IMR, possibly a hybrid, maybe not even that. Not knowing the actual amp limits since they are not stated at slowtech, they should still be actual 2900 mah since authentic Panasonic batteries don't tend to lie about that like XXXX-fire batteries. Taken directly from comments on that battery, it should be able to safely put out 5.8 amps (mah x 2). Ohm's law states that you should be safe with a fully charged battery (4.2 volts) if your coil resistance is over ~7.25 ohms. If you had an Efest, AW, or similar 18650 IMR the safe continuous amp discharge would be 10 amps, more than sufficient.

Not knowing the particular mech you are getting, I couldn't say if it will fit a fuse of any kind. Some do and many don't. I don't think I can post any links to vendors that sell the various fuses in here, they usually sell tanks and other items making them Ray's competitors.

Joe pimps a lot of stuff, almost always because it's cheap. Many lithium batteries (especially from slowtech) are only suitable for APVs with all the protection they can provide. Even with an APV, battery amp limitation is very important. If the mod's circuitry can handle 5 amps the battery needs to match that or be rated higher. Using a XXXXX-"Fire" 18350 in a Vamo with low ohms and high watts is a really bad idea. It shouldn't even work, but don't experiment with these things. I can say from experience that you can't depend on a APV's built in protection. For any mod, especially a mechanical mod, an IMR with 10 amp continuous output is a the smarter choice over unknown battery chemistry or low amp limits.

I don't think the standard disclaimers on using mechanical mods, rebuildable atomizers, and unprotected batteries can ever be stressed enough. If I was to say that using an unprotected battery and/or not using a fuse was safe, I would be encouraging the equivalent of doing wheelies on a motorcycle with no helmet or other safety gear. This puts somebody in an awkward position when answering questions like this.

4. 8/27 - How is someone with anxiety issues supposed to get over the fear of side effects in order to take anti-anxiety medication?

If it's interfering with their life enough to risk it.
anxiety is a terrible thing to have, I know the few times I've had a panic attack I would have done anything to get rid of it.
I'm diagnosed with it but have learned to channel my activities and thoughts to cope in healthier manners. I don't want to take those kinds of medications because of side effects and the mixed depression/anxiety meds aren't for me.
Thus, it's not interfering with my life enough anymore to consider taking a risk like that.

Thank you! That straightens out some of my confusion!
The mech is an EA clone, and i believe it is telescoping so it should fit a kick or a fuse. i have a 18500 and a 18650 IMR ( ithink one is an efest and the other a EH?). one of which is high drain, does that make a difference in which would be more efficient to use? the HD also confuses me a bit.
Just to clarify, the IMR is recommended for use with the fuse?
thank you again

Have a good evening I've got some houses to raid...

 

[jpf880]

LD, I'm have not seen any specs on the EH but the Efest should be fine. After I learned a little bit about batteries when I had my Vmax I'll only use AW's or Efest's, not saying other batteries are not as good but those 2 I checked out pretty good.

08/27 Entry#4 . . .

Uncle shared a really good looking recipe for Ratatouille, maybe he can repost, this is what i wanted to do with the 25 pounds of tomatos that we got from the farmers market. it was right before our trip and i ended up giving them away to everyone. maybe next time

Honestly, I cannot remember which one I posted, however if you do a search on Goggle for "Ratatouille" there are a number of them there . . . Mine happen to be a Traditional Italian Recipe that I would have to search for and I do not have time right now - Apologies . . . . . . Oh or maybe "Lisa" or someone else kept a copy and they might post or send you a PM . . . Just A Thought. . .

Sorry Uncle, get #5. Was watching a video.
