Excellence in customer service is the way the Vapor Talk store rolls. That's why the VT store gets my repeat business.   

Got a VT Templar in the mail today. Playing with it now... Oooh, shiny new toy!   

And mine as well.  Not only does Christopher own up if he makes a mistake, he goes out of his way to make it right.  Lifetime customer here (from almost the beginning).

It can be "Dude-ette" to my friends.   

Tam is no Dude

I played PacMan once at a Pizza place.  I think it was 1977.  PacMan got eaten.  I quit playing PackMan.  

You've been very busy! I like the various grains in the wood you used.   

I use 'hot rice' for speed steeping. I fill a small to medium mixing bowl with uncooked rice and heat it in the microwave for a minute (yes 1 minute), Then push my bottle or bottles down in the rice up to the cap and cover with a dish towel for approximately 1-2 hours or until the rice is cool. I find it cuts off about 2 days steeping time with this method.

If you are anything like me you will find that over time your collection of vaping stuff will seem to magically grow by leaps and bounds. Especially if you start to DIY your own juice. And your patience with sorting through jumbled mess in a shoe box will quickly wear thin. With this in mind I came up with a no frills design that anyone can make cheaply (under $10) and very quickly but will allow you to expand as needed.   Here Is what we are making. One for Juice bottles and One for Atomizers.       First step is deciding where you are going to place it. Whether in a cabinet, cubbie hole, a desk or table top then measure and write down height,width, and length. Now we drive to Home Depot for the 2 types of wood needed. I already had the materials at home left over from other projects so I just made both. You can do the same or just one or the other.   First the juice bottle one.   You need a 2"x2"x8 foot board (although they actually measure 1 1/2" wide not sure why?) Cost is around $2   Now you decide if you want Home Depot to cut your wood to size which they will they just won't guarantee precision cuts.   Based off of the measurements you took before, If your shelves are going to be less than 36" long then you need 3 of each size if more than 36" then you need 4 of each   2" 4" 6" 8" If more than 4 shelves high than go up on each piece by 2"   This will form your bases.   Next look for this cart somewhere in the lumber section.        Look at the 1 1/2" size pieces (poplar is the cheapest) and grab the amount for the number of shelves you plan to make in either the precut  sizes or have them cut down to the size needed by Home Depot.     For my 2 units I used (1) 2x2x8 and (4) 1/4x1 1/2x48  hobby boards. The bottle space was 34" long so I needed 3 bases up to 8" high and 4 shelf's 34" long. I used (3) of the remaining 14" hobby boards on the atomizer shelf and cut (2) 6" high bases leaving me with a 10" piece of 2x2x8.   Once back home find a flat place to work and grab any type of glue and start assembling the bases. Starting with the largest 2x2 piece lay it on it's side add glue to one side of next smaller size and stack it on top like so.   While glue is still wet adjust the pieces so cut edge and sides line up as even as possible. Continue on until all bases are glued. Allow glue to dry for a few minutes.   Place bases with cut edge down where you planned for with 3rd one in the middle or 3rd & 4th evenly spaced for longer shelf's. Then place hobby boards on other cut edge like so         For the atomizer one there is an extra step. Grab a pencil, ruler, and some atomizers. Lay them like so.   This will help you get a feel for how many will fit on your shelf and what spacing is needed between them. Then make 3/4 of an inch mark on both edges of shelf and using another shelf as straight edge draw a line down the center. Now transfer your spacing marks to that line.   Now grab a drill and a bit that is slightly larger than your 510 connector on the bottom of the Atomizer (I used 9/32) and drill at your marks you can either drill all the way through or stop right before test with an atomizer to make sure base lays flat against shelf.   Do the same for other shelves.   Once you are done with that I recommend you glue shelves to bases.   And were done! As I said at first no frills but very useful.   Now you get to decide what else you could use this shelf for or maybe sand and stain or paint them. After finding more attys (I swear they are reproducing by themselves) I added a couple of more shelves And here is one way that I decided to finish it.         As for me after looking at the first picture I really need to get my bottle labels under control and now I know exactly where to place them on the bottle for optimum viewing.   Thanks for reading. As always all comments, critiques, and or questions are much appreciated.

My first choice for vendors for sure.  And if you are into a pen style can't beat the Templar.  

Typically, any coil that comes with a tank is less than top quality. Be very careful about purchasing hardware from eBay -- we hear a lot of stories about knock offs being sold as name brands. Personally, I only buy from trusted vendors but YMMV.   

That's a worry you simply don't need.  I doubt you would flag a positive, but who needs the worry?  If your friend can afford drugs, your friend can afford a vape.

Today I learned just how weak willed I am when it comes to vaping related hardware (it's worse than I originally thought!). 

Ah yes!  You eeeee-ville Vaper you!  Actually sounds like a good title to a movie.  Kinda B stock but it could be a hoot.

Orange Stained Teeth - Orange tooth stains typically occur near the gum line and are caused by the presence of chromogenic (photographic) bacteria or food buildup. Children are especially prone to orange tooth stains, usually as a result of improper or infrequent brushing.
If vaping were the cause of any staining, the staining would be over all of the tooth, much like coffee or red wine.  Way too many times NORMAL hygiene, or lack thereof, are the cause of our problems... and sadly, vaping is often considered the root of the cause... because vaping is "evil"... sad... very sad...

Nailed it!
Fount this on Pinterest and had to share

If you're worried about them replace them.  It's worth the price in peace of mind.  Here's a link to information published by a guy who does vape battery testing.  He goes by Mouch.   https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blog-entry/18650-battery-ratings-picking-a-safe-battery-to-vape-with.7447/   
There's a table in there that shows a bunch of batteries he has tested.  Real nice to know info as it shows what batteries can actually do as apposed to what manufacturers say they can do. 

Together in the mod? NO! Always use two of the same brand, same model batteries and keep them together. It's not safe to use these two together.

Ya, that's an obscure one but it makes sooooo much sense.  And now your vocabulary is better than mine because you know my words and your words!!!  
 
You're welcome!!! 

I couldn't stand it anymore!  I watched this poor little guy sit for months on the VT shelf all by himself.  No friends.  Like being on the island of misfit toys.  Now he finally has a home. 
(He is a bit of a strange one.  No off switch.  Gotta be hooked up to a computer a lot) 
But I love him anyway.
