Ummm,I'm far from qualifying as a nerd or geek BUT Can I get extra credit for keeping a 10+ yr.old Dell Dimension 4600 Pentium4 with all original internals running? Christopher can verify this dinosaur,He's had access. lol P.S. I'm not gonna show my mancave cause all this cedar tounge-n-groove + gun porn + antique VHS porn might break the interwebs hahaha!

Avoiding the little old lady in the crosswalk Checking to see if someone answered your post on VT Taking a vape off your rig Stopping for Starbucks Answering the boss's phone call The only problem is I may not see the little old lady because I am looking at VT, or taking a vape.

This is my Kayak, no fancy gadgets since I have been fishing the lake I'm on since I was 10 I don't really need-em. This is my other fishing boat and play toy.

I have two favorite sayings around the office... "Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine" and "I will be happy to 'manage my anger' as soon as you manage your stupid"

Now that I'm back in an office (not working from home), I have had LOTS of opportunities to talk to even more people about vaping! One of my co-workers had tried vaping a while back, and basically started out with an over-priced eGo from a smoke-shop... no support, no knowledge, and obviously gave it up rather quickly... She was asking about what I used, and what would be good for her to get started again. She wasn't really wanting to spend another $100 and get nothing out of it, so I set her up with one of my iStick 20W and a KPT2 as a loaner. I went with her on lunch today and helped her pick out a juice at the local vape shop, which fortunately was only a couple blocks from the office. I showed her how to adjust the Voltage / Wattage, disassemble the tank, fill the tank, change the coils, etc., and I also gave her a handful of coils I had re-built @ 2.2 Ohm (which are perfect for the iSticks!). Well, she just sent me an email, asking if I would sell her the iStick and tank, because she doesn't want to give them back She's hooked! She also wants me to go back with her tomorrow, so she can buy another battery and more tanks/coils/juice. I told her the blue iStick and KPT2 would be my gift to her, and I had a silver one I'd sell her for what I paid for it (from the VT store), to save her some $ over retail.... So, I guess tomorrow we'll be off to the vape shop again for more juice and additional tank shopping, lol. I think I'm nearly as excited as she is

I got my IPV mini & Atlantis contest winnings from GearBest today...I love it

The crappie pic was the "before" here are the "after" ones lol

Well Tam, pass this on to your co worker. I'm 7 years from 70 and I'm rapidly acquiring the lungs of a 30 year old All because of vaping and not smoking. Great stories here all.

I had an old Escort that had one of the window-washer nozzles that was positioned too high, and it shot over my car, and landed about 10-15' behind me... perfect for tail-gaiters Now, on my motorcycle, I've been known to carry a few of the tiny air-soft paint-balls... they're tiny and don't leave a huge "splat" on the windshield, but a couple of those tossed over my shoulder onto a tail-gaiter will certainly make them BACK OFF! And the paint is water-soluble, so it won't leave any "permanent" damage

Here's adding to your story. A co-worker came to me because someone told her I was the "expert" on vaping. She got some bad news from her doctor who said she must quit smoking. She's only in her mid-thirties yet her lungs were that of a 70 year old. Just so happens that I have an extra back up of a back up with me. I gave it to her along with a charger and AC adapter, a 10 ml bottle of 24 ml juice that she fell in love with at first vape. When I got home tonight I went through some of my back up stuff and got two more eGo T batteries, another two chargers and one AC adapter, seven various tanks with extra coils... those all went into a goodie bag that will be gifted to her tomorrow. Then, I'll take her to the local B&M to get her more 24 mg juice so she can switch off. Might've saved her over a hundred bucks and got her off on the right foot.

If you or anyone else want to start a dedicated separate thread discussing coils of any sort, if we have at least 20 dedicated "coil" threads, Chris said he'll add a special section for it.

lots of technology,, I'm glad you made a friendly place here for us to gab & yak & post pics all day/nite... thanks for putting in ALL the time to make VAPOR TALK what it is today,, we/us as members dont see what you Admins & moderators do or go through on a daily basis thanks again,, unofficial howdy wagon driver

Here is the kit I carry with me daily: I am not on the road over night lately, so I don't carry any wire, coil building tools, etc. I am going to have to build me a larger kit for when I start doing overnights again.

I picked up a couple of 500gb Samsung 850's. They've come down in price a lot over the last year or two it's incredible. We have a store out here called Fry's which started price matching Amazon. So I hopped my *** down there for a good deal It's amazing how much of a speed boost you gain of them. I already have a pretty beefy system as it is but the SSD's really sped up my startup time. Though my biggest gripe was data transfer. It's not unusual for me to move around 80-100GB worth of data and I got tired of the transfer times. Right now I'm running two internal 500GB SSD's and on the outside you can see the hot swap bays. Those are hold a couple of 1TB hybrid drives. (Nothing fancy) and I've got two more in the locked drawer that are in cases. (Gotta keep backups of the backups) And yup gotta have the APC! It's saved my *** a few times. (I've got a pretty green system and I can pull about 30 minutes off that box alone)

Dang dude. You're the contest wining king. Congratulations.

ya can thank me fer passing that lovely weather yer way gag8tor,, I got tired of it yesterday....

this came from Mirage via txt msg,,

looks like a bunch a good eat'n ta me...

I love fishing/catching...

Love fishing!!

Just get a couple glass beakers from Wizard Labs...

Are you ready to take the plunge? I found them available at Avid Vaper. They get around $200 of my money every month in HH.357 atomizers so I know they're a good, trustworthy vendor with only quality goods and great customer service. http://www.avidvaper.com/eleaf-istick-50w-4400mah/

The Atlantis is not really rebuildable, but I do love it. I just purchase a kanger sub tank mini though.[emoji7]

Well, of course... what kind of 'gentleman' would I be if I didn't test it out for you, first

You guys are funny. Sorry, but I really don't have any interest in RTAs at the moment. Never say never, something shiny might come along to tempt me but so far... no. I've no doubt that Earthling will find something else to tempt my wallet anytime now. He's that good!

Nerds Program Geeks Build Hardware and keep them running. If you do both, well either will fit. LOL

Wow,you guys are nerds lol I have no clue what you are talking about

When you do that, you should also be hoping they're not carrying a loaded firearm.

Geez, I even got a good feeling about your success. Almost like it was me doing the good deed. Great job Earthling. Look at you spending other people's money again. I guess Tam and I are off the hook for now. Even though I think Tam needs a Kayfun V4. LOL

Hate flat tires

I had one for a while that said "CAUTION I Break for Invisible Animals" Can't do what I used to do. I used to light a smoke and flick the butt just right so it would explode on the windshield. Worked 90% of the time.

Been there, pull over fill tank and continue on. If I have a spare tank, and I always do,(Backups Backups) Keep driving and replace tank no need for the knees.

Be sure to get the 50W and not the 20W version. Do it just to make Jason and Earthling jealous.

Nope, the 30W is different: The 20W does not have the flare, and it perfectly flat on top.

+50 Tam, I had a couple of ml of Comp's snickerdoodle left over, so I enticed her with that Mirage, I told her about the forum and gave her a VT Store "business card" too... I think with my next order, I may request a few more cards... I'm out :shock:

Cool kit Hooker... but you might want to secure those batteries with a few more dividers and/or into proper plastic cases to prevent anything from shorting one out

guy I work with...

oooooh how I miss the good hit from a combination of Camel & Zippo fluid.... I DO NOT miss the leg burns from a slightly overfilled Zippo lighter....

Thank You Tam.....yes your right blow more vape.

....I'm like strangely turned on after that, Tam.... Question #3 You thought you filled your tank last night but your vape just hit a little dry. You need to refill in commute traffic. What do you do? a) Drive with your left knee b ) Drive with your right knee c) Drive with both knees d) All of the above

While I don't have a man cave per say, I do spent half my life at this desk taking complaints...errr suggestions Just swapped out my drives this week for a couple of Samsung SSD's. Highlight of my Monday.

Ha! So I'm not the only one who uses gloves when working on vehicles.

Stupidity will always be around,you just have to embrace it.lol

It's okay Jason... I hear there's a 12-step program just for us... 12 steps to this vape store... 12 steps to the next vape store... 12 steps to the computer...

Aw, and I was going to guess: If you're going to ride my @$$, at least pull my hair. Honest to God, that was the bumper sticker on a mini van full of Mom and four kids this morning. Nearly went into a ditch I was laughing so hard.

There is an Aerotank mini that is also available. Unless of course your looking for more juice capacity. Also, for your battery upgrade might I suggest an iStick 50w by eLeaf. you don't have to use its full potential but the thing lasts for days on a full charge at low wattage settings. I get about 2 days on mine at 12w. Probably even more at a lower wattage.

No thats masturbation

I have the nano and my coils have been lasting me way longer then what you guys claim.The flavor does get less and less prevalent over time but it doesn't bother me

Personally 30w is just fine for producing plenty of vapor it all depends on your coil build and ratio of juice, and yes to answer your question I highly recommend dropping your nicotine level down to about 3mg and 6mg at the most (6 is what I drip) and its just fine.

I really like flavor Arts Apple Pie (one of my favorites), no perfumy taste, Flavor Art Tiramisu- also a bit sweet. Both of these I use up to 30 % flavoring and no perfume. The most perfumy is the fruit type flavors. The best for fruit for me is Lorann watermelon--really concentrated and sweet. I like flavor west chocolate mint...mixes great with coffee flavors. For sweeteners, I use marshmallow flavoring. For cheaper rates you can go straight to the manufacturer...Both Perfumers apprentice and Flavor west have very good Marshmallo. Caramel is another great sweet type flavor....perfumers apprentice and flavorart are my favorites there. The real fruit type flavors are the hardest to mix with....they just never seem to taste quite right to me.
