Looking To Get Organized - Tackle Box?
ddavelarsen replied to FTJoe's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Oh crap, gatorade out my nose and all in the keyboard! Dang man, that was righteous, but it still hurts... Can't wait to see that pic, and I sure hope you find your indulgence soon! -
C'mon nana, you agonize over every purchase to the point everything you buy is razor-sharp dead on. Now maybe all that dreaming has honed your senses to perfection, in which case I will agree with your observation. Me, I just get a hair up my keester and gotta have supplies! I'm really a quite simple person by comparison. No dreams; just impulse. Today for example, I bought a liter of pink nic in VG. Now, that was no impulse; I've been planning that purchase for a week or more. But it sure felt harsh. Some might think that's an excessive amt of nic, but I'm making for three people now (my son's ordering his first 510 today!) and I'm preparing for a ban. As long as I have enough nic for two years I'll be comfortable, so I am now comfortable. Next up: attys. And then that VVPV! Or the Pulse, whichever hits the shelf first I guess. So that doesn't sound very impulsive does it? Sounds more like dreaming even to me. Okay nana, you're right. You earned this one.

Looking To Get Organized - Tackle Box?
ddavelarsen replied to FTJoe's topic in General Vaping Discussion
It does fill up quickly doesn't it? All I have in mine is mixing stuff, and I'm to the point of having to *Removed* No Drug Talk out some of the chaff already. But I did not go at DIY in a very organized manner, so I have a bunch of crap that I didn't need to spend money on. Naturally, my story is somewhat different when my wife remarks on this issue. -
Seconded! Welcome to the club! I'm like Brian, if I haven't made my order for the week I get all dejected.

Well, don't catch me on a 'hermit weekend,' cause I wouldn't answer the door. But otherwise come on over! I have good micro brews for 'after the altercation.' I told you so. :P Actually you might want to check the organizer trays that come with it before ordering two. The trays are divided into quite small sections that may not fit your electronics parts well. You can of course find trays that size with different divisions. -
Wussy-boy! If you were like me, you'd develop a network of friends who'd read all the posts for you, and let you know the ones you really needed to read. Then you'd have time for some serious posting. I'm really looking forward to your DIY adventure Brian! Go get em, and let us know what you figure out.

Come & get me big guy! Naw, just kidding. I've managed to get all my most-used mixing stuff into mine, and that's all anyone could ask. I think it's cool that so many have settled on the same solution to a common problem. I think part of our 'issue' is that we just like gadgets and parts. Vaping satisfies in spades! Tek, I appreciate the way you laid out how you organized yours. In the same vein: Top two small compartments hold the liquids I use most often, and cartos awaiting refill. The second compartment is just a filing "system" for notes for mixing. The large compartment in the lid holds mixing tools and a few small bottles for experiments. The tools are: pipettes, syringes, pens and pencils for taking notes, a glass weighing bottle to poor liquids into for sucking up with a syringe, scissors and tape for making and applying labels, and most important - reading glasses! I also keep the larger bottles of stuff laying on their sides in there - VG, nic base, jar of menthol crystals. The tall section in the top contains larger bottles of flavoring, but it's not tall enough for the stuff I had to lay down in the top tray. The three trays below contain most of my flavors, segregated by tobaccoy flavors and fruity stuff. The bottom tray has my dwindling collection of commercial liquid. The door section on the right (mine only came with two trays too) has Tasty Puff flavoring in it. I just don't use those much so this section is kind of moot right now. What occurs to me is that there's quite a bit of stuff I may never use again - Tasty Puff is an example. If I were to get rid of all that stuff I'd have a lot more room and could collect even more neat stuff to play with! For me the best part of this case is being able to grab my whole kit to carry to the living room or to my brother's house for mixing with others. I keep all my hardware in the original mixing storage container which is much smaller but just right for attys and batteries. -
LOL! That's tellin' 'im Mark! Actually I quite agree. I think getting American ingenuity into the program is going to take vaping to its ultimate heights. I think the value of the pulse mod is being able to program to your heart's desire for any atty/juice combo you have on hand in the moment. While we all have our favorites, I think it's true that we don't always have them on hand. While I don't know how I'm going to use this, I do know that it's going to free me up for so much fun experimentation that I'll be vaping for entertainment as much as for not-smoking. I expect to really dial in the efficiency of my attys with this bad boy. I'm totally into it, and actually quite proud of the way Americans think through stuff like no other people in the world. Not taking any cred from hero Hon for getting it going for us all, but I sure do admire the way our folks are taking it to the next level. C'mon guys, let's have an American 510! Snubber quit being a killjoy! Get with the program my man! Support the economy! Give yourself a treat! You've earned it man, you know you have.

Where ya been bro? Only ten or so posts a day lately. Slacker!

That's being proactive! Way to go man, +1 for you.

What Flavor Are You Vaping Right Now?
ddavelarsen replied to kitsune's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Sorry man, I worded that poorly. VG cuts the TH pretty heavily, and I'm always looking for a way to boost it back up without losing that sweet vapor from the VG. And that's where you're coming from too isn't it? You like the VG vapor and looking for a way to bump the throat hit without nic. I totally understand that, and it's why I got so excited about PEG 400. Maybe that'll help. One hopes, eh? Thanks Burn! I switched to Peach midday. Not my best decision, but it was the only loaded cartomizer left. And I don't even have a single regular 510. Cartos all I got. Adding some attys to my nic base order today. In fact, I think it's time to do that. Yippee! -
That's my preferred method too, but I did kill one the other day doing it. I've killed a few, but to me it's by far the best way to get the flavor back.

What Flavor Are You Vaping Right Now?
ddavelarsen replied to kitsune's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Thanks man, that's really good to know! I guess I'm going to have to follow up on this also. I've been working on increasing the TH with VG-heavy juice and I know FTJoe is on a quest for TH too. Oh Hey Joe, I see you snagged the very thought! Kitsune, I think our families would rue the day we ever got to partying... All you guys talking about Dulcis all the time and I can never get Chris to offer just flavoring for us high nic folks. It just ain't fair! It's sad. Maybe Chris is playing passive aggressive to get us to cut down on the nic. Won't work though, I'll just whine and moan until I get what I want or give up wanting Dulcis. Well, no, I could always vape some 24mg once in a while. I think that's what I'll do, next order I'll just freakin get some. And whine to Chris all the while about getting just the flavoring... Too bad you guys have to listen to this too, but you do keep mentioning it... Good thread kitsune! -
I don't think 'idiot' is the word; perhaps 'klutz' comes closer to the mark.

Chris those are some very good articles. I think we have an additional new place to direct newbies now, and I'm looking forward to the real technical articles I know are coming. I don't know how you do everything you do man!

PEG 400 - okay, what is it and where do you get it? I know TW has it in their juice, just don't know what it is or why to use it (other than your comment of course). -

Hotwheels case! What a great idea! -
Tekronik, that sounds like a really good idea. Though I might be tempted to dump a little everclear in my coffee from time to time. Where did you find the snot sucker? Pharmacy I guess. I'll go looking for one, that sounds like a good idea. I have a few dead attys I haven't had the strength to throw away, maybe I can revive one of them. Chris I've tried boiling and I guess I've been a little hard on them; none of the boiled ones have ever come out alive again. 'Course, that was before I got distilled water, which might have made a big difference. Your new blog articles are fantastic by the way!

How Much Juice Do You Go Through In A Month?
ddavelarsen replied to mmseng's topic in Polls and Questionnaires
Well man, you might have to give that regular 510 a little while to break in... But that just brings up an interesting issue; why don't we have to break in cartos? -

I love these threads; so many ideas! My own Peanut Butter Brownie, earlier MFS 555. Oh - and a nice micro brew, Hop Hound Amber Wheat. -

ddavelarsen replied to FTJoe's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Good idea snubber! Like I've mentioned I'm already outgrowing my tackle box, even though it's totally convenient. I'll do some looking around. Don't know whether it's still open but we used to have an 'organization' store around here somewhere. I bet they'd have something useful. -
Now that's thinking out of the 'box!' This is the kind of idea that would make living on a boat possible. I really liked the floor to ceiling books/CDs/DVDs/whatever they were. That's where I want to live! Great catch Chris, thanks.
-
You got it covered then man. I'm with you on the LR cartos - that would be outta this world. Let me know when you find em, and I'll do the same.
-
Be scientific FTJoe, that's not something you want to take any chances with. If you want help calculating the nic level let me know and I'll be happy to oblige. You might also wish to bump the flavor too.

Gosh you guys, I wanted to be the one to say, "But yeah, it's smoke!" But you guys blew it for me. I'm very disappointed in you all right now. But at least you got it right. Still, I wanted to say it! Jeez, get a grip you guys! Just kidding! Anyone who inhales burning stuff is just asking for lung damage. (Sigh.)
