Stripped threads on my VTR!
robv1978 replied to Bushwick's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
The new VTR's don't have the spinning wheel. I was going to buy one but the cheapest is around 60 so I went with the Cana dna30 instead. -
Has anyone ever used a 5v li ion in a mech mod? If so please elaborate.

Forgot to mention that the extension still fits and certain tanks still work though -

My VTR did the same thing. I never forced anything on to it or over tightened, it literally just happened. I'm so freaking mad because I really like the device when I'm fishing because I thought it was rugged. This is the first year I haven't bought fishing cigars because I was comfortable knowing this could handle it even though it's my only device that hasn't been dropped LOL -
Does anyone occasionally have an analog?

I'm the same way about second hand smoke. Not so much being next to a person smoking but the stink in my clothes kills me. -

Actulay in my case it was psychological, I'm well past the withdrawl and cravings of the other addictive compounds in cigarettes. That stuff has been out of my system for years, I just saw a friend of mine get his face cut and having a smoke seemed like the "normal" thing because the people I was with were all smoking. It's the same thing as going into a bar with friends and swearing your not going to drink but you have one or two anyway. Our brains are wired to the norm of the situation. As an EMT/FF after a bad call we all lit up and hung out. So that moment after a high stress incident combined with my peers smoking due to the stress my mind reverted back to my norm. -

I guess I should've mentioned that I have been vaping about 3 1/2 years and smoked very little after I started. I haven't bought a pack since I started vaping, just the one or two when I still did the bar scene. But, that stopped after around 3 months even when I was still going out. So, I haven't had a cig in a little over three years other than that one. -
A few weeks ago we had an incident at work. I'm a corrections officer and a fellow officer got his throat and face slashed. After the inmate was taken out of the facility "for his protection" a few of us were standing around talking about the incident. Everyone was smoking, even the nonsmokers, just because of the stress of the situation. My ecig just wasn't cutting it and I bummed a Newport. It tasted like sh** and, even though I didn't enjoy it, it helped take the edge off. I know the effect was purely psychological I was wondering if anyone else fell back to their old crutch. I haven't had one since and this is the first year I've gone fishing without the occasional cigar, just my PV. :-)

I use that to polish and clean my ss guns. A dab'l do ya, I've had the sam tube for 5+ years and it's not halfway gone yet.

This should be a fun topic.. Premium E-liquid cost vs quality. By now most of us have tried a ton of E-liquid's but what makes a "premium" E-liquid premium. I've tried several organics and high end juices and I honestly can't tell the difference between juice from reputable U.S. vendors and other high priced vendors. IMO the cost doesn't make a difference in quality as much as quality ingredients do. One example is chocolate based flavors I've tried. I bought a $30 bottle of premium organic liquid and the flavor still tastes artificial and chemically based. Then I tried a substantially lower priced juice and the flavor is spot on with no chemical aftertaste. Then there are other flavors that are without a doubt better. I personally find that higher end fruity flavors have a more natural flavor but I've also tried fruit based flavors from a cheaper vendor that are amazing. So, what are your opinions and remember that taste is entirely subjective.

Just spent to much on juice and coil heads LOL. I ordered MTB Gwar juices GwaRY4, Bloodbath, Jizmoglobin and German Chocolate Beefcake plus a few iclear 30 and 30s heads. Good thing was free shipping over $50 and a 10% off code. I can't wait for it to get here! -
I got the Vanilla butternut as a mistake on their end... it happens. But, I freakin' loved it. I'll order it again.

Research the amp limit of the battery if you plan on sub ohming. A lot of people hate on ultrafire batts but tons of people use them. As long as your device is vented and you feel comfortable in your knowledge of much mods and coil builds I say go for it and keep us posted.

heh... looking for wood... huh huh

I used the K100 for months and finally decided to upgrade so, I picked up a caravela clone www.atomicvapors.com. I paid $55 and would've paid more.

What do you do for a living?
robv1978 replied to Grant951's topic in The Vape Lounge - Off Topic Chat
People always ask why when I tell them what I do.... I'm a state corrections officer. I'm also a small reptile keeper, I have a bunch of lizards and snakes and a couple rats, cats and dogs... LOL -
My first one was a K100, they're only around $30 now and worth more than what you pay.

Mod holder? -
Heads for the CE4 are getting harder to find, I've been ordering them for about 2 years now and everyone is OOS. So, I'm probably going to have to try a new clearo soon. These are the two I'm leaning toward... thoughts?

Went to the atomicvapes.com B&M today and picked up a SS Carvella clone, 2 18650, 2 18350, a Nautilus tank, SS drip tip and three 15 ml bottles of juice (1 Steamjunk and 2 Space Jam) totaling $176. -
vendors as good as space jam and suicide bunny?
robv1978 replied to terrapindance's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
I recently discovered Steamjunk, I'll be trying Space Jam next week so I'll be able to compare but Steamjunk is freakin' awesome. I've been a diehard MTB customer for a little over a year and love almost all the juices I've tried.... almost because the flavors just were my type. But StJu Gargoyle is quickly becoming my ADV.
