I think I have vaper's elbow. While I'm at the computer, I vape left handed. That elbow hurts like crazy!! Not as much when it's bent in vaping position, but when I straighten my arm...youch!!

Using the Pchela with the ceramic wick. I rather like it. It seems smoother to me. Of course, what do I know. If it works and I get vapor, I like it...LOL

Good Morning everyone :)

My ceramic wick in my Pchela broke before I ever got a chance to really break it in, but it is vaping amazingly with the wick Andy set up for me at VapeBash. I do have 3 other ceramic wicks I got from Jason in Chicago, but haven't had to redo any of mine yet, so still waiting to retry one.

How's the break in time and everything with the ceramic wick? I've been thinking about buying some but I've acquired so much SS mesh it'd be kind of pointless to try and make a swap right now...

Was surprised at how well these wimpy little wicks work that came with my ash. Wicks pretty quick but if I do some chain vaping I can get dry hits way faster than the wicks I make for say, the Cobra I used to own or my AGAs. I'm assuming the solid wicks will make me enjoy my Zen even more...

Anyone know the diameter of the wick hole off the top of their head?

I haven't got my pchela yet nor have I tried my own ceramic wick -- but I'm happy, too!!!:thumbs:

When I used GLVs I got Vapers Thumb, my hand started cramping up from making them fire, I wonder of its one of the reasons I'm not as big of a fan of my sidewinder............

thats too bad cuz the SW is one of my fav of all time now. For me I think its because my reo was always a fav of mine (though someone does not like the bottomfeeding thing no names mentioned ROFL)

haven't tried them yet. you have to do a few things from what I hear. if it were me, I'd wait until zen releases the ones with the grooves.

Good morning all continue to be NFTP

Just to add my .02 on the steel rope. First off, it can also be bought at local Tractor Supply stores, I'm sure it's a little more expensive than McMaster (think it was $1.50 a foot). It does wick like crazy, even at absolute vertical. As far as taste, well I've only been off analogs for a little over 2 months so my taste buds are still jacked. Also, please make sure you don't buy the galvanized rope. It releases a toxic vapor when heated (not sure if that is common knowledge). The only issue I've ran into is the rope retains a lot of the heat and the deck will get pretty warm during chain vaping. Just trying to help with the topic, I'll go back to lurking now.:)

Class Idiot asks: Please refer me to section on "Steel Rope" as I don't have a clue

Morning guys ... Anyone got extensive knowledge on the ZENESIS AYS ? I have one and have some questions about it.. .. ..
Just trying to figure out if there were only 30 made, why is my serial number 0167 ?

The were made with ramdom parts. I think there were just under 30 made and Zen used mini tubes and standard tanks that he already had. The only addintional work done to them was the Are you Stupid engraving. The ASH came from the leftover parts ....standard tubes and mini tanks

well that is a yes and no...that is a good ballpark....i rarely go beyond that except with certain flavors....take tfa bavarian cream....really weak flavor, even as an accent. in a few of my juices it is twice the % as my dominate flavor but still is much weaker than anything else in there. i generally end up 10-15% for most mixes cept for "pink death" which is at a staggering 25%. single flavor mixes are generally 5-10 at most....people using 20% for most stand alone flavors i see on diy threads is absurd to me

I still don't have it right. LOL
And I've been mixing my own for ages now.
I usually only use 2 flavors, lately I've tried 4 or 5 just to see.

I've used anywhere from a total flavor of 5% to 30%.
They will taste good the first day, and then I don't get much flavor.

I thought maybe it was because I'll vape 6 or more flavors at one time.
Meaning, I have that many devices set up at once, and pick up a random one multiple times a day, device A a couple of puffs, device B a couple of puffs, few minutes later, C and D or whatever.

But.... using others' juices in those same devices, I get flavor all the time. My own juices, not much more than the first day.

I'm doing something wrong, just don't know what yet.
