@Christopher
It would be impossible to call Chris lazy IMHO. He busts his A** doing everything to make VT the best place to be   I can't wait until the stores in CA Closer shipping for me and when I visit family out there I can drop by to say hi in person finally...Plus I owe someone a dinner if I remember right LOL

oh I know  (You're always awesome!) And me too, it'll be nice to get everything running as efficiently as before. (More so being able to ship multiple times per day given that we have a major postal location close to the new warehouse. Something we can't currently do in the small town of Highland Park) 

Never thought you were being lazy, Chris, but if I was wondering about the missing info... chances are good that someone else would be too. Can't wait for you to get everything moved to California so you and Deb can get it all organized. 

Hey Tam, 
Sorry for the delay, took a little longer to track down the mixes than I though (Some vendors don't give us the mix ratios) At any rate, I think I managed to get them all updated

May I make a request? In your juice descriptions, it would be very helpful to have PG/VG ratios. Not all juices have the same ones so for me, as a consumer, it would be helpful to know how much of each is in the juice. Too much PG is a deal breaker for me. Sometimes, when there's a juice I might be interested in trying, if there's no PG/VG info, I won't even ask for it, but I also won't be tempted to buy... 

hey...sold!!!I have an aerotank giant and love it!wouldn't mind taking two more off your hands one bit!!!I'll give her the one I have allthough it's a bit big for her I think she will surely appreciate the large juice capacity ! !!as for the aerotank,I'll see how she likes it too....what do we *always* say????back ups!!!

Interesting because it should to be the other way around:

As a professional chemist, I would recommend storing long term in glass. Nic in high concentration will slowly dissolve plastic, and PG will leach plasticizers from plastic. VG might too.
Sun’s fridge issues were with flavored juices stored six months, some of which were not even opened. I believe they were early Johnson Creek. The culprit was probably water in the JC recipe. I think decomp would have happened anyway, regardless. I do not think it was necessarily the fridge itself.
A sealed glass bottle of unflavored nic juice will not allow water in. The only reactant here is O2, which if there is little head room is negligible. O2 is very slightly soluble in PG or VG, and will be present in trace quantities in the solution no matter what you do, but it is not enough to make any appreciable change in 100 mg juice, even if it all reacts.
I use glass bottles from specialtybottles.com for storage of my unflavored 35-100 mg VG nic juice. The ones with eurodropper inserts, since I use them for syringe dispensing. Just stick an 18 gauge blunt needle through the center hole. With these inserts, accidental spill, which is a DISASTER with 100 mg juice, is eliminated. I use 50 mL bottles (although given how fast I go through them, I should have used 30 mL), fill them almost to the rim, put in the insert and screw on the cap.
I store them in the freezer. As long as they are brought to room temp before opening them, the liquid will not absorb much water from the air. I pull out one bottle at a time for juice making. I just pulled out a 100 mg VG bottle stored since January, and it has not even discolored compared to the original very slightly yellow, as in VERY slightly yellow. In my freezer, PG and VG do not freeze (I have some DV PG juice stored too), nor do they expand. VG becomes VERY thick, like rubber cement at the temp of my freezer. I have not tested for nic content, but the juices I make now are in my opinion no less potent than when I got the juice fresh.
Cool, dark, and dry is appropriate for a bottle opened and being actively used for DIY. Sealed is sealed, and extreme cold almost eliminates the kinetics of any O2 reactions and mold or bacteria growth, which is also almost eliminated by nic itself, PG or VG. I keep many 50 mL bottles in a sealed container in the freezer (actually a pet food container).
From what I know about these chemicals, I expect the juice to last certainly much much longer than 24 months, and probably many years.
This long term storage is for unflavored, and undiluted nic-juice only. I do not store flavored DIYs this way. I make them in relatively small quantities and vape them up before making more. Flavors are probably the most unstable part of e-juice, and the presence of water in them will hasten their decomposition into nasty tasting products. Fridge cold does not really change this a lot, it is dependent on the flavor itself. Fruits are especially prone, since they are esters that tend to hydrolyze to organic acids (sour, vinegar, vomit taste) and organic alcohols (wet-dog, funky taste).
Even unfrozen, liquid PG nic-juice in the freezer will still have slower reaction kinetics than room temperature liquid. Increased viscosity, such as VG nic-juice, will further lower kinetics of reactions of nic with O2: the molecules do not move around much to find each other. But all reactions slow down with cold regardless of viscosity changes. The fact that neither of these liquids freeze solid in the freezer is good. Solid is chrystalline, and is generally not the same composition as the liquid, in other words, freezing solid will promote separations…although after it melts to room temp, it can be mixed back to original uniform composition.
Is freezer storage overkill? Maybe. As I said, sealed is sealed, and the total reactions possible if its sealed are low. But I get a singular pleasure from taking one of those 50 mL bottles out, knowing it will be as fresh and potent as the day I bought it, even years down the line.
Based on my decades of chemical knowledge, I do honestly think this is the best option for long-term unflavored nic-juice storage.

yes,absolutely , and quick too 👏!!sorry again for the mix up!

I was supposed to get the hollowed out mini nautilus sleeve,I received full size.if you are willing to credit my account I will just use it to buy a full sized nautilus tank,and then order the other sleeve later.like next month.I have been wanting a full sized nautilus anyhow.but whatever you want to do is fine by me. thanks @Tam for the bat signal,and thanks@Christopher  for responding so quick!!

Thanks for the ping Tam
So just to confirm, you were meant to receive a sleeve or the tank? (And of course no matter the case I'll make sure it's correct)

Never heard of it before. Around here, we mostly order from our own Vapor Talk store (links to it are at the top and bottom of the page). Not only because it's the store that supports this forum, but because @Christopher makes sure to give the best possible customer service, authentic hardware, and will nearly always match a low price seen elsewhere.
Just an FYI, I don't say this because I'm an admin on the forum, I have nothing to do with the store part at all. I'm just a very satisfied customer. 

Welcome to Vapor Talk!
The Aspire Archon has TCR mode so you can use Kanthal and Nichrome in TC-mode, but dialing them in is kinda finicky because you have to know the Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) value of the wire you are using...  Once you have that, you can put the MOD into TCR mode, key in the TCR value, and vape happy (once you dial in the temperature, that is).  Length of wire, coil size, micro/macro coil, etc. will also affect the TCR value, but it should be minimal.
Here are some TCR values I've used with success ...
Ni200: "0600" [0.00600] (According to Steam-Engine.org)
TitaniumGrade1: "0366" [0.00366] (According to Steam-Engine.org)
SS316L: "0088" [0.000879] (According to Steam-Engine)
SS317L: "0094" [0.00094] (According to Steam-Engine.org)
Nichrome: 0.00040 (According to DJLsbVapes)
Nichrome N60 (C): 0.000178
Nichrome N80 (A): 0.000112
Kanthal NiFe70: 0.0052
By no means assume these are absolute values!  You'll need to play around with your MOD and the settings to fine-tune it, but these should give you a good starting point?

Thank you so much again!!

Glad you got it working again. 

I'd have to special order this as my US vendors aren't currently carrying it. (It'd take about a week to get here) and the price point would be around 30 +-

Two more articles from this week that I wouldn't have seen if it hadn't been for the NBS group on Facebook.  The first is an article that was published in the LA Times on December 12, 2016 and focuses on the most recent annual survey of 8th, 10th and 12th graders and their use of various substances to include e-cigs.  The results from the 2016 survey show a decline from 2015 in almost every category the survey focuses on, including the use of e-cigs.
Teens are cutting back on drugs, alcohol, smoking and even electronic cigarettes, study finds.
 
The second one is an opinion piece by a physician that appeared on Slate.com of all places...another source I would never go to under normal circumstances.  Honestly, the only reason I went ahead and clicked the link was because of the title of the article: E-Cigarettes Might Be the Best Addiction to Have.  The piece is mostly positive and is actually one of the few recent articles I have seen that openly admits there isn't enough data to justify the FDA's actions in regards to the deeming regulations.
E-Cigarettes Might Be the Best Addiction to Have.

I had to raise an eyebrow at "70% conversion rate vs 20% with e-cig". 
Would love to see that study. Ha ha

I'll let you take a rain check tam, next time you order if we have any of the stuff in stock still just lemme know and I'll take care of yah

You've got some great deals in there, Chris! I'm sad that Christmas tapped me out already.   

I'm going to sticky this topic with a title change because as has already been said, battery safety is a serious issue. One I think some of the newcomers don't take seriously enough. Great video.

Sounds like you need to..... oh wait Adver nailed this topic with another great answer. I'll just run along....

Hi Folks, 
I noticed this forum has gotten a bit messy. Just a friendly reminder  that this sub forum is for posting new devices you've found, factory releases, etc. Questions and show off your builds should be posted in their own respective sub forums unless otherwise appropriate for the post
