VAPE MAIL!

My EC Blends order arrived. i am stoked to try these out. Free sample of Dragon's Nectar too.

Well, to his credit he doesn't pretend he knows it all. It's just when I'm trying to talk him through something or trying to figure out what the problem is -- he never uses the correct names of things. He still doesn't know the difference between an operating system from a software program, he thinks he uses Mozzarella Firefox but insists he hasn't gotten a browser on his program! (translation: He uses Mozilla Firefox and insists he hasn't gotten any malware on his hard drive.)

I finally just bought him a laptop a couple of years ago so that he could take it with him between Colorado and Arizona (they're snowbirds). This way there aren't two desktops in two different places and it's easier for me to work on just the one laptop. Usually, I just wind up wiping everything and doing a clean install of the OS rather than to back track trying to figure out what he's done this time. Lol.

Welcome Aboard!
I can't say about Denver, but there are several people on here from that area, and I am sure Troy will chime in!

Ok I am ready for a sequel, that was too good.

Two little boys are going to the hospital the next day for operations.
Theirs will be first on the schedule.
The older boy leans over and asks,
"What are you having done?"
The second boy says,
"I'm getting my tonsils out, and I'm afraid."
The first boy says,
"You've got nothing to worry about.
I had that done when I was four.
They put you to sleep, and when you wake up,
they give you lots of Jell-O and ice cream.
It's a breeze."
The second boy then asks,
"What are you going in for?"
The first boy says, "Circumcision."
"Whoa!" the smaller boy replies.
"Good luck, buddy. I had that done when I was born.
Couldn't walk for a year."

Suddenly, a cow runs out into the road and a Limo driving late at night
hits it head on and the car comes to a stop.
The woman in the back seat - in her usual abrasive manner, says to the
chauffeur, "Get out and check on that poor cow--you were driving."
So the chauffeur gets out, checks, and reports that the animal is dead but
it appeared to be very old.
'Well,' says the woman, "You were driving, so you go and tell the farmer
in that lighted farmhouse over there"
Two hours later the chauffeur returns totally inebriated, a full belly,
his hair ruffled, with a big grin on his face.
"My God, What Happened to You?" asks the woman.
The chauffeur replies, "When I got there, the farmer opened his best
bottle of single malt scotch, the wife gave me a meal fit for a king, and the
daughter made love to me."
"What on earth did you say?" asks the woman.
"Well, I just knocked on the door..........and, when it opened, I said to
them, 'I'm Nancy Pelosi's chauffeur, and I've just killed the old cow."

lol.... and I thought it was because my defroster stopped blowing... so I guess it really does not matter in my case because since it got colder I can't see where I am going in the morning anyway!

It's funny you mention leaving the analogs out. My parents were both smokers and from the age of 5 i was stealing their analogs and sneaking off for cigs with friends. at age 6 i bought my first can of Hawkens tobacco. It was very common for children to have access to the analog stuff back in the day.
If there were children around my house i would definately keep the stuff out of reach it's just too dangerous and they don't understand those dangers. When the kiddo's come over for holidays etc i lock up my cabinets (nicotine and gun) and then lock the room they are in.
The kids getting ahold of something like that can destroy many many lives.
Being an adult means accepting responsibility for the things in your house.
Therefore LOCK it up and hide the key!

Ugh! Where's the "Dislike This" button?

This was brought up in another thread, moding out a multimeter for testing atomizers. I had bought a Radio Shack Model: 22-182 Multimeter just for building coils and testing other E-cig needs. I promised a tutorial of what I did when I was done, well, here it is.

I started with a stock Radio Shack Model: 22-182 Multimeter



This Multimeter comes in its own case and is mounted with 2 screws into the case for changing the battery. I wanted to use the case it came in as it was very compact and is easy to store.

After some thought I decided to make a panel that would fit into where the test leads were stored. This would allow me to close the case lid and keep it all in one neat package. I found an old 5.25 black bay cover for a PC to make the panel. I used connectors I salvaged from dead 510 and 901 batteries and atomizes also some used wire from a old PC LED.



I wanted a tight fit for the panel so I made a template of the test lead storage plate from a piece of semi ridged clear plastic. Laying the plastic over the multimeter I traced out the shape I needed for my panel with a Sharpie. After cutting the template out, I traced it onto the 5.25 bay cover. I placed the template in the upper right corner of the bay cover. This would allow the downed edge to act as a stop and a support for the panel once in place. Using a Dremel I cut out the basic shape, leaving room to adjust it's shape to fit tight in the test lead storage area of the Multimeter. I used the Dremel with a sanding cylinder to shape it for clean fit. I used a 5/16th in drill bit to make the holes where the new leads would be mounted. This bit was a tad smaller than the atty and batt but, I wanted a tight fit. The 3/8ths bit was just a hair to large. I then took my Dremel and a small sanding cylinder to make the holes just the right size for them to fit nice an snug.



Note the holes are a little off I made a line to follow but the center punch moved a bit on the second hole from the top. Ooops lol

After that was all done and ready to go, I soldered the all the leads together. I did this before installing them into the panel so I wouldn't risk melting the plastic panel. Once soldered and mounted them into the panel. I did a test on all the new leads to make sure all had a good connection and they all worked. I did this by taking a base reading on 1 atty. Then using it with an adapter to test both the 510 and 901 atty leads. I then used 1 batt and did the same with the 510 and 901 batt leads. After it all tested a go, I then used 5min epoxy to glue the leads in place. I also added some to the wires so they would move and possibly break the solder joint. I want to be able to remove the panel when I want so the wires had to be secured. Once the epoxy had set, I retested the leads just to make sure all the leads were still working.



It was at this time that I cut the original leads from the multimeter making sure I left a little extra in case of a redo. I then soldered them to the leads of the panel. To protect the connection I used some shrink tubing on these connections.




Now it is time to pop in the panel and test it again.



It all tested good so there it is, a custom 510, 901 Atty and Batt tester. The space at the top allows me to add 4-5 adapters for testing other size attys, Batts or extending the lead up to test tanks that are to big around to fit directly on the 510 lead.




I Love DIY!

Rixter - you might try vaping this, but I'm not sure how that would work out for ya!

LOL, Harv. I could have rewound even further and said frell, but I usually say frak. *sigh* I miss thar show.

Proteus, $8.50 for a five pack is good for around here. Of the four shops here, one has the off brand, one is the $8.50, but the other two shops are $10 for a box. If ALL you need is the coils, the $8.50 cheaper than what you would pay at DV plus shipping.

lol... one of those subtle signs of a SciFi geek!
(takes one to recognize one in a crowd)

Which is funny because a cigarette could easily be described as a "drug delivery device" and now you see the problem they are up against. Virtually anything that is decided can easily be applied to the cigarette industry. Infact, if they dont ban flavors the cigarette industry can now come forward and lobby to create flavors.

And unfortunately, we havnt had a government with politicians that have balls for a long time. Its the special interest groups that will have the most say in what occurs, not the politicians themselves or the governmental agencies. I will go as far as to say it is the FDA that is responsible for a lot of the woes we face today with food and drug products in this country. Everything in a 7-11 is approved by the FDA but is it actual food? Look at the list of "FDA approved" drugs that have become the subject of lawsuits and recalls. It's freakin rediculous

*end rant because it's the weekend*

Dream station

Just what makes anyone think the govt intends to act rationally concerning e-cigs?!! Look at some of the crap that's come out of DC the past few years. How much of that really made sense? My Opinion ....... that whole bunch of two-faced, self-important, liars up there in DC are going to do whatever makes them "feel" good or somehow directly impacts their pocket. In the past few years I've lost all confidence in our govt. to do what makes sense. These guys can't stand it unless they're micro-managing even the smallest issue that they have no business in, and finding ways of taxing everything else. I'm hoping for the best, but am preparing for the worst ........I'm stocking up.

"Just my opinion.........I could be wrong."

You NEVER stop going to school.......and you NEVER stop paying tuition. The best you can hope for is that the tuition steadily declines with time. You just took another class, that's all.

I celebrate any day that I can make it through without calling myself an idiot.......they occur much less often than not.

Just sent my first order for IMEDIC's juice through his new website!

Well done, Matt!

My Dad and one of his friends told me to order them an ecig. They had both tried mine and liked it so I ordered them both two evods and two joytech 1000mAh batteries and two juices each.

Everything came in the mail yesterday so I got them together after I got off work and took them to "school" on how to use them and fill them and charging the batteries. I was really surprised how well they understood everything, it took my Dad 4 years to learn how to text . So far everything seems to be going good I went and checked on my Dad today to see if he was still good and he told me he had only had 3 or 4 analogs all day which is amazing cause on a normal day it would have been at least a pack.

My order of another Vision Spinner, T3S, Coils & Charger showed up. Plus I replenished my stock of Oba Oba (20 ml)

Next time don't get the Stupid Tank... upgrade for one with a higher IQ!
