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)

From one newbie to another, welcome to VT. You came to the right place. There's a lot of great, friendly people here. I just picked up the subtank mini with a Sigelei 100w last week. Loving both. I had an issue with the subtank "spitting", but I think that was operator error because the "spitting" has stopped.

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

Omg,crappie is probably one of the best tasting fish I've ever had.I like it fried like that with a little malt vinegar and tarter sauce.

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

Pic 1 is a limit of crappie Pic 2 is a 7lb 4oz largemouth Pic 3 is a 75lb+ Blue Catfish my wife caught while we were running around in the Baja one night. We caught 11 over 50lbs last year but hers was the biggest! My scale only goes to 75 lbs and it bottomed it out lol

I should add that I'm using a .5 ohm coil at 24.1w while vaping this tank of The Virus with Custards Last Stand added. Honestly, I've not had a coil become bad, yet, but do notice that they swell where the coil screws in...I had the end break off of one.

I just ordered Mr. Cookie eliquid...it was hard to choose with so many delicious flavors available at Giant Vapes. I do like the free shipping...wish my vape budget were bigger.

Here's an update: she went through the whole night without one single cigarette! Got all the other stuff to her this morning and gave her a quick tutorial on how to use them. She's stoked!

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]

Yes, Tam... I scour the Internet daily... looking for that new, shiny toy to tempt you with... after I buy one myself, that is

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

George, I've been trying to get Tam into an RTA for probably 5-6 months now... but I'm not giving up on her, even if I have to buy it myself and send it to her

Ahhhh the joys of computer builds. I still use the SATA drives the digital drives don't have the space I need yet at a price I can afford.

I just love fishing

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.

Well to be honest it turned out to be a preorder. I didn't catch it at first and when I did, I backed out. $44.99 (mod only) and their shipment is supposed to be in by the end of the month. I may do it this weekend. I need more tanks. I have too many mods with no toppers!

Why'd you back out? Here. How about I do it with you? I'll buy a blue one and you can get another color of your choice. If we buy them together, it won't hurt so bad.

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.

None of the above... I just grab my spare rig, and worry about re-filling later If I'm on the bike, I'd first have to wonder how I was vaping and riding at the same time... I'd worry less about it being a "dry-hit", or at least worry about it secondly!

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...

....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

Thanks! I've got two good friends at that office that smoke like freight-trains... I watched one of them smoke three Camels today (by lighting only one) while on a break. They're my next projects!!

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.

Jason... you shouldn't have... So, when will it arrive at my house? Seriously, when you get it, you'll have to post up a good review for the rest of us poor folk to envy, hahaha

Yes. I think you should stop looking so I'm not tempted to buy more toys.

As you can tell, I love DIY. For me it started as a search for stronger flavors, as I am flavor challenged. I love the endless possibilities. If you have any questions or trouble, just ask. There are quite a few of us that love to help out.

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.
