Great pics! Keep 'em coming!

Welcome to Vapor Talk!

Well I am thinking about getting the box mod in a few weeks.

I just ordered an iStick. I am currently dripping a 454 (clone) on a 4nine (clone). It isn't anything fancy, .4ohm dual coil 26ga. I am really enjoying the setup, I just really want the regulated and dual battery option. I use tanks all day, and drip in the evening. It is my relaxation.

I am very interested in the iStick. I just have not pulled the trigger on it. I have been running the MVP with the full size Nautilus and a BVC. I was thinking that the iStick and my Nautilus Mini would make a good ADV.

I am also trying to make my mind up between a Sigelei 100 watt, IPV3, and Cloupor T6. I am currently leaning toward the Sigelei, but not sure. I am wanting a regulated mod to drip on. I really don't need that much power, but I sure like the options...

I could not agree more. I am 44 now and have had a top plate (denture) since I was 27 due to growing up with hard water and not being taught proper dental hygiene at an early age. In the last 3 years I have had the top plate replaced with an implant and on my bottom teeth I have had all them capped with 8 requiring Root Canals. Had dental appointments every Monday at 10am for a 7 month stretch to get all these done.

One tooth would not numb and I gave "sedation dentistry" a shot and let me say NEVER again will I have a root-canal or any major dental work done any other way. No Novocaine, no numb feeling....just a killer buzz and a fun afternoon. With my insurance sedation cost only about $100 more than traditional and I have spent more than that to feel as good as I did with sedation recreationally back in the day haha.

When we remodeled our showroom two years ago we tried to only use products made in the USA and it was impossible just like it is impossible outside a very few exceptions to buy E-cig stuff made in the USA. What we did was the best we could do....we bought the stuff from a US supplier at least. Don't get me wrong I am not chastising those that order directly from China its just something my conscience and overall paradigm will not allow me to do.

Funny story. Back when the last Olympics were going on people (Fox News especially keyed in on this one) went ape over the fact the uniforms were made in China. A lot of my friends at the lake were going off about it in the cove all weekend when the story broke and became the headline du jour. When I pointed out the people complaining the most in my group drive Lexus, Acura and Toyota I was quick to point out the hypocrisy. We live in a society that wants to pick and choose when they feel Patriotism applies with the way they spend money and even though many products are "assembled" in the USA the parts and more importantly the profits are made and benefit the country of origin for all these companies.

I am also a Scoutmaster for one of the local Cub Scout packs and our Boy Scouts of America uniforms are made in Thailand or China. It drives me nuts.

Hardly ANY company can make a product like a car, electronics and other tech heavy items without parts or some assembly overseas because we have all but eliminated our ability to make them in an affordable manner domestically BUT if just a few people realize by supporting companies that export their profits from the USA to other countries a huge difference can be made.

Is American pride dead or just in critical condition? Is it a symptom of a global economy or are we so quick to try and save a buck if just doesn't come into play? I mean this as a serious question and am not trying to hijack the thread any further but I just cannot say nothing when this is one of my biggest "things" lol.

Sorry for the soap box lol.

Interesting.... It's the same with guitars (and other musical instruments). You can buy an "american made" instrument (and Thats debateable itself as some components are imported for sure) but the Amercan made instrument is going to cost you 3 - 5 times the cost of an import. And the damning thing is the quality of the imports is exceptional! You can buy a quality guitar for $1500 and less while you will pay upwards of $3000 and more for something comparable with a name. How do you compete with that? Is that not the success story of Toyota and others?

I dont know what to do either but it doesnt give me much choice when recommending instruments to students.....

The thing with SEC football is any team, on any given day, can upset another. Im still pouting over the Bama Ole Miss game so dont loose hope. Im a Bama fan living dead center in a huge UT, Ole Miss fan base so I have to be careful

I get your rant on buying US and do as much as possible. The few things I do order direct from China are China made and have a 500% mark up here. Absolutely I will pay more for US made but I wont be raped by greedy distributors here. I think the Scout uniforms made in China representing a US tradition is a bit much, that would chap me also.

Therein lies the dilemma. The auto industry is a little different but same concept. The thing the import manufacturers have done are open up non union assembly facilities sporadically throughout the US that pay median salaries when compared to other industries but seem to locate themselves where wages are lower, education levels are lower so they can maintain profitability. Hell a VW assembly facility just opened a few years ago in Chattanooga and they actively recruited fast food workers because they could pay lower wages and still maintain employee loyalty because there are not a lot of other options in the workplace for their employees. They do this so that can taut they are "Built in the USA" when in reality they ship all the parts in from the corporations home country to be assembled here and sold then the profits from that sale also go overseas. Did you know for every 1% market share the imports gain on the domestic auto companies roughly 18000 jobs are lost here?

Maybe I am getting old (44) and grumpy and I definitely have a dog in the hunt financially but things like this drive me as crazy as seeing a Toyota Camry driving down the street with a "Proud WWII Veteran" sticker on the back. Talk about irony.

But then again, these are just my feelings and everyone looks at things differently. Talking about a Vamo (and not likely a real Vamo but rather a knockoff) for $26 or whatever is hardly 500% markup to buy it here for $40-$45 from a reputable supplier in the US. is not that big a deal to me to just pay a little extra, have it in 2-3 days or less and have full recourse should something happen to it.

Its all a vicious cycle. Price oriented shoppers buy overseas made products to save a few bucks, American companies cannot compete because we do not let 10 year olds work 12 hour days in factories, jobs are lost and American companies have to charge more because it costs more to employ people in the environment we have here. My business grosses around $250k-$275k per month just from the sales department and after salaries, healthcare, taxes and all the other expenses we have turned a net profit in only 3 of the first 9 months this year EVEN THOUGH our sales have increased 10-12% per year since 2009. The government is regulating us out of business and laying in wait are the countries that make products with no environmental regulations, no labor laws and can ship their products to the US with little to no tariff while charging exorbitant tariffs on our exports which now are primarily agricultural products.

I am with you on this one.

I wore braces from 5th grade to Senior year. I made them take them off. Through years of on and off drug use (in my youth) My teeth deteriorated. When I got clean, I had my teeth fixed. I spent 10's of thousands getting them fixed. I had 6 root canals on top and 2 on bottom.

Jump ahead to my late 30's. The damage was so bad that they decided to pull my top teeth, and give me dentures. I am one of the lucky ones, no one knows if I don't tell them. I had all of the bottom ones fixed at that time. 6 more root canals, and 2 caps.

To make things worse they tell me my bottom teeth will probably not make it into my 50's. I have been hoping that by the time I get there, I can afford implants, or locked in dentures. The top ones have been a life saver, I can eat without pain and they don't have gaps. From what I hear bottom dentures are not enjoyable.

I am sorry for the long drawn out explanation. I just want you to know "I feel your pain". There is no pain like tooth pain!

That being said, the anti-depressants/anti-anxiety/anti-psychotics saved my life, but once I was over the problems, they caused more issues than they solved.

I really have not been using mods very long. I don't have much experience with any mods except the 2 that I own.

First I guess I should make sure you are using an ohm meter and have studied up on ohms law.

The Tobh is a good RDA to start with. I have 2 and I really like them. As for the mod, I would really look around for something that gets good ratings. I really like the magnetic buttons myself. The 1:1 Nemesis seems to be a very popular choice. I really like my 4nine, but it is a little scarey with it's hybrid top. The positive pin of the atty must extend to make contact with the battery. If the center part does not extend enough it will cause a direct short. It is also picky about battery length, there is no adjustment except for using the center pin of the atty and/or small magnet spacers. My other mod is a GP Paps clone. It is fair, but it took a lot of filing, fitting, and adjusting to make it work at all. I got both of these for under $20.

I also have not had good luck running tanks on them. I like a little more power. With a 1.8 ohm atty it will only be 9.8 watts in the beginning, and will slowly go down from there. I like the consistent power of an electronic box.

I am sorry I am not more help!

Sorry Bebop!

There is nothing worse than Novocain mouth, except for the pain after it wears off!

I hope you get better soon.

Neither one sounds good!

I really can't add anything to what everyone has already said!

It sounds like you have a great setup. I too have to stress the backups, and backups for backups.

Welcome to Vapor Talk!

Now I have to calm down and be patient... I really want to order the vapelyfe copper mod... But I think the wife might rip me a new one!!!

You're welcome. Your eyeballs are gonna luuuuuv yeeewwww.

Well, I guess i am going to finally break down and get bifocals...

My apologies. I think my remedial reading class starts in the morning....lol

I don't know for a fact, but warning points sounds like a bad thing to me...lol. I like my zero score! My wife gave me about 20 warning points today, and we only spent about 10 minutes together....

My wellbutrin story:

My past consisted of Drug/Alcohol abuse until 25. I quit, panic/anxiety/depression took over. I went years on prescription drug cocktails. Quite a few years back ended up on wellbutrin and zyprexa. It worked great but, I decided to quit because of my side effects. I went to the dr and got the usual, I can't believe you have taken wellbutrin for this long and still smoke...I guess I was immune.

I only drink beer on occasion, so that leaves caffine and vaping as my only vices.

The longer I vape, the more I find this true. My boss had to run an errand in my car today and caught me in the parking lot. He left for a couple of hours in it, and I didn't freak out. If it had been my cigarettes, I would have walked down the street and bought a pack within 15 minutes!

It is strange how much more panicked I would get. It really makes me curious as to what is in the things that made it that bad. If it was just nicotine the result should be the same, but it isn't. I don't meant to sound like a conspiracy theorist....but.

I don't know for a fact, but warning points sounds like a bad thing to me...lol. I like my zero score! My wife gave me about 20 warning points today, and we only spent about 10 minutes together....

Ive been down to two cigarettes a day for a month now. This morning I threw the pack away to see how it went. This afternoon at a job site I walked dead center into a smoking area, stood there for a moment, then moved on. I really expected to fall in the floor screaming for one but I took a few vapes and surprisingly I lived lol.

Im not sure what was taking my dumb arse so long, to finally push myself over that edge, but its done and Im digging it. Now to start trimming down the nic levels.This forum is more supportive than many realize so keep up the good work members and thank you.

I love this conversation! My wife and I had exactly the same one the other day. "Take 1 pill 2 times a day" on day 5 she said she had 5 of the 10 pills left....

I deal with this on the "production" end of our business. I revise my previous statement, there are stupid questions, most begin in our shop.

A man after my own heart! I do have a soft spot for hand made boots, but I don't own any (yeah, a headbanger in cowboy boots...smh) I am too cheap. I am over 40 so the fancy jeans are out of the question. I dress nice for work, but if I had my way, Levi's and a T-Shirt would be my wardrobe...lol

I also would spend in the $200 range for a meal for me and my wife, but just not too often!

$200 for a mechanical mod... I doubt it. (I won't say never though)
