Zen~ Family Reunion

[TalkingCactus]

Oh yah, almost forgot, since it's no where near as exciting as what everyone else has been posting today! But... I too got VapeMail today! A lil somethin somethin I ordered from ENS Friday night, after securing my Works set (thx again Paradise!):
(Note: only taking 'landscape' photos for ECF from now on!)

Notice that my cOBalt is a lil blurry? It's cause I was swinging it like a pendulum to show how secure the cap is now. A lil ProGlide ribbon dental floss wrapped around the atty twice under the top caps o-ring n it's almost as tight as my new Zen~II top cap!

Got some DeShock by Chief, I just don't like anise, but really wanted to like the Shocker sample BlackBag gave me. I'm sure I'll love this DeShock! Also bought 2 "Legacy" ground screws, a spare spring, rebuild kit n a spare Mini tank Glass (all, just incase). I'm now a member of the "490 Club", got three AW IMR 18490's, a lil carry case to hold two 18350's, some Kanthal 30g n two Ceramic Grooved Wicks (tho I'm not sure I'll ever use anything other than Nextel (it just rocks that much!).

PG has shown me the way, my Lil sis started smoking and i said to her that will not make you look cool, but this will and am letting her borrow my SS standard, so i will nextel my Ti standard and put it through paces on that first, only choice left before install is do i go with the round or ribbon wire? Thoughts?

Go retro man 32 g kanthal

4 wrap of 30g on Nextel in the Ti is where it's at. Again, shhhh, don't tell Mike.

Bumpi, put the Nextel in the Sidewinder, immediately. Outstanding performance, absolutely no leaking..... Perfection. It's now the best pocketable APV ever.....!

I like that idea, but feel I'm gonna wanna pop off and inspect under the hood time to time, the SW will be the second device for sure

That's all I've got except the ribbon paradise gave me, I think that is .5, which i think is around 30 ga as far as resistance right?

 

[tybin]

I thought .5 was close to 32g

I hear ya. You'll quickly find this stuff is about as maintenance free as it gets. Dry burn every few fills and good as new. I've yet to have to replace any, all still performs like day 1. I've used my Sidewinder more than anything else I own since setting it up this way.

I second, third, and fourth the motion!

 

[Projectguy]

I'm colorblind (bought a green tip at vapestock cause i thought it was gold. Lol) so combos may appear a Lil different to me

Bumpi is this what you need?

 

[Projectguy]

and crap! I spilled a bottle of pop in my lap. I'm on my way to work

Don't move I'll be right over I'm real thirsty

 

[LilyBear]

Thanx for the bumps! Hopefully I can move a few things before I have to list other things i dont wanna sell as much LOL!

How did I end up with four Sidewinders? Lol. It's funny how stuff sneaks up on you.

 

[bumpi]

It's pretty, but too buzy for these eyes

Ok. I figured it had all the yellow / blue colours covered. I love the colours but I never use it because I don't like the feel of glass and the shape is kind of odd for me.......... Anyway it's not for sale; its for a Zenfidel who would like it.

Really don't know how u choose what to use....I like to find "a favorite thing" and stick with it....500 items on a Chinese menu, i order the same damn thing every time

escape: If your device will not fire without it, and it didn't come with an extra, I bet Jayson will take care of it for you.

I do see that a screw that is ss 8-32x1/2 can be used for a replacement screw, so i guess you need a washer that fits that sized screw. I could send you one, but that will take a few days..

Yeah the device won't fire without it (Using 18350 aw imr batteries). I am going to be placing an order with ENS here in the next couple days so I'll see if Jason can help me out.

Thanks bud!

OK; 1/2 tank in (mini tank as I have an ASH) with the nextel ceramic fiber, and not only is the flavor still just clean and crisp... but NO BLACK COOKED STUFF coming back down the wick to darken the juice!!!

My favorite juice mix (which is now my even MORE fave) is 2/3 vanilla mixed with 1/3 English toffee. This is a very sweet, rather dark, 100% VG mix. I had just gotten used to/resigned myself to it getting baked drip-down from my wick and starting to taste like burned rubber towards the end of the tank. That's when I'd just replace juice, at about 1/2 tank. I'd suck the burned mix out, squirt it in my 30 ml bottle, shake it up, and pull another 4 mils out to refill the tank.

Honestly, I think with this setup I can empty this tank and have the same great flavor at the end as I did at the beginning!!!

TC, I can't thank you enough!!!

(Now we just hope that the manufacturer isn't just lawyering up and that there's no nasty stuff in this... shouldn't be if the machine oils are baked off; it's just ceramic which is pretty inert... I'm sure it's just "CYA" on their part... I think )

Same here Bumpi. I use the SW 99% of the time.

 

[thejager]

got it going better...still feels like a super tight draw...and not much flavor or vapor...but it is workable

also threw in my flangeless diver with a mini tank and it is kind of working...definitely have some kinks to work out ...floods fast...when filling and i cant seem to get the air bubble trick (flip upside down thing) working to really get it not to flood...but im gonna try it more hopefully

Hey Aaron, any luck with the CT?

 

[LilyBear]

Jager do not feel bad..... I did exactly as we were shown and the carto provided for me was a fail. Not sure why because I just set it up with another brand and I am having no issue now. Guess I will just stick to what I was using in my other tank
Jason has other things for me to buy besides cartos anyway!
