Ummm,I'm far from qualifying as a nerd or geek BUT Can I get extra credit for keeping a 10+ yr.old Dell Dimension 4600 Pentium4 with all original internals running? 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!

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.

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.

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

this came from Mirage via txt msg,,

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.

looks like a bunch a good eat'n ta me...

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!

I love fishing/catching...

Love fishing!!

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/

Well, of course... what kind of 'gentleman' would I be if I didn't test it out for you, first

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

You guys are funny. Sorry, but I really don't have any interest in RTAs at the moment. Never say never, something shiny might come along to tempt me but so far... no. I've no doubt that Earthling will find something else to tempt my wallet anytime now. He's that good!

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

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.

Geez, I even got a good feeling about your success. Almost like it was me doing the good deed. Great job Earthling. Look at you spending other people's money again. I guess Tam and I are off the hook for now. Even though I think Tam needs a Kayfun V4. LOL

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!

+50 Tam, I had a couple of ml of Comp's snickerdoodle left over, so I enticed her with that Mirage, I told her about the forum and gave her a VT Store "business card" too... I think with my next order, I may request a few more cards... I'm out :shock:

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

oooooh how I miss the good hit from a combination of Camel & Zippo fluid.... I DO NOT miss the leg burns from a slightly overfilled Zippo lighter....

Thank You Tam.....yes your right blow more vape.

....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

While I don't have a man cave per say, I do spent half my life at this desk taking complaints...errr suggestions Just swapped out my drives this week for a couple of Samsung SSD's. Highlight of my Monday.

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!!

Stupidity will always be around,you just have to embrace it.lol

It's okay Jason... I hear there's a 12-step program just for us... 12 steps to this vape store... 12 steps to the next vape store... 12 steps to the computer...

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.

I have the nano and my coils have been lasting me way longer then what you guys claim.The flavor does get less and less prevalent over time but it doesn't bother me

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.
