still have mine, though it doesn't work any more.

Definitely qualifies as a midlife toy. RED, SHINY & FAST YeeHaw

It was good to read the original post again. This is something all newbies should pointed to when they first join us and something all of us should reread from time to time. I've gotten pretty lax since I first joined and have not been contributing like I did at first, but when I read something this good, it gets me charged up again.

NICE!!! A copy of this letter should be sent to all 50 states to get their facts straight.

I too hate the high cost of shipping. Between http://www.goodprophets.com/ & http://www.wordupecig.com/ I can usually get away with no shipping.

Unfortunately, my wife doesn't let me use (HER) stove or (HER) kitchen for that matter, so I can't comment on boiling. So being the innovative guy I am, I use an empty 50ml plastic bottle, ream out the top so a 510 atty fits snuggly, thread side in, and use it to flush out the atty when the burnt flavor shows up. After blowing out all the water, I find that if you flood the atty with juice and blow it out a couple times, it seems to do the trick. It may take a few times to break them in again. This works well enough for me, hope you find your method.

AND,, I bet the metal tips won't get hot either. I think I'm getting one myself to go with the Precise 10440

THAT'S IT!!!!!!!! Thanks Brian, I knew an old timer would remember.

Hey everyone. Does anyone remember the name of a mod that looked like pieces of pipe(Plumbing) It was pretty pricy, and you could build it with a reservoir. I think it was something like the Gmod or something like that. Trying to find a unit my truck driving brother could use since he can't drip and drive or have to prefill a bunch of carts. He's using the ego right now, but the one I'm thinking of would allow him to fill the reservoir and drive on. If I remember right, the pieces were made of brass and you bought different pieces to accomodate different batteries. This was abot 8-9 months ago that I saw it somewhere. Anyway, if it sounds familiar, shoot me line. Thanks all

Been using it exclusivly since I got it and couldn't be more satisfied. Added a drip tip 3 days ago and now I'm only doing direct dripping. As long as I have have plenty of batteries I have no worries.I get them from http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.36026 It is slim, but has a good solid weight to it.

Very nice vid Ben. Just wish I could say WEEKS when talking about attys. For me it's only DAYS I know, keep em wet and don't dry burn. Use only JOYE 510's. I've tried everything. Maybe I just vape too much. I vape more than I used to smoke. Oh well, that's just me. Good job.

I got this advice direct from Janty USA. I do find that the darker liquids seem to get more carbon buildup than the light colored ones. They also warranty the Dura for 6 months. They replaced the one that stopped working already. Personally, I can't get one to last for more than 2 weeks. Cleaning Attys.doc Cleaning Attys.doc

Thanks all. Not much of a writer. Snuber:The Super Six can take 2 batts. He just lately started recomendig due to the batts that exploded.

Well, thought I’d make an attempt at a review. This PVD is for users of the 10440 battery only. It will ONLY work with “Protected” 10440’s. I’ve been using the Precise for a little over a month now and I must say I’m very impressed with it. It is completely mechanical, so you don’t have to worry about any components breaking. It is a well made piece and as the name implies all parts are made to precise specs. The weight is only half an ounce heavier than the Spade and is about half an inch shorter. I bought mine with brass ends for the looks. The feel is very reassuring; the operation is smooth and “precise”. Having the button on the end may seem a bit strange, but it feels very natural and has a very easy throw. With the recessed end, I haven’t experienced any accidental firing. I carry it either my shirt pocket or in a Mag Light holster in my front pants pocket when I’m working. This unit comes with a 3 year warranty, but I believe it will last a Lifetime. As long as you can buy 10440’s it will never let you down. It uses the 510 atty, but also comes with an adaptor of your choice. 510 to 801 or 510 to 901. Battery life is dependent on the battery. Good batt, good life. Good atty, good life. I have noticed that it does push in the center post of the atty, but since I use this exclusively it does not present an issue, and you can use your finger nail to raise it back up if needed. All in all, I’d have to say that this is the most reliable unit on the market at this price. Here’s the link to watch Grimms review. http://www.supertmanufacturing.com/id73.html Here's a couple pics.

I'm sticking with 100% mechanical. Mods are pricey and componets burn or wear out. Batts and attys are reasonable compared to packs of analogs, so if the mod lasts, you'll be able to save in the long run. IMHO Of course, I'd be willing to BETA TEST anything

I bought this and 8 extra 10440 batteries.( 2 days before the Spade died) http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4151 It works good but I think I'm going to add some solder to the contact points just make it easier to set the batteries. Takes a little while but the price is worth the wait

Spade packed and ready to ship off for a retrofit. Now I just need some money. Got the Precise yesterday and will make my attempt at a review after a week. 1st impression though is- GAWD, This thing is GORGEOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I didn't have any parts left over like I usually do when I work on my wifes car And I can still do multi laser pointing But I will send it in for a retrofit as sson as I can. In the meantime I'm using my 510pt waiting on my Precise from T-Man.

@Chris-I think if mine was under warranty(Purchased in Dec. 09) it's not anymore.When it quit working, I disassembled it as much as I could to try and fix it myself( )Bad idea. I would like to send it in for a refurbishment if I can, I'll need to know the cost first.

Did you ever get your Spade fixed? Mine died at the worst possible time. I was down to 2 batts and 1 atty. Ordered 8 batts from China(3 week delivery)and 6 attys from madvape on 4/16.Spade DIED on 4/19 in the morning(Hate Mondays), attys arrived that afternoon. CRAP!! Luckily I had a 510 P/T to keep me from buying a pack of analogs. I'm using that exclusivly right now. Going to order a Precise From T-Manufacturing tomorrow since I have all those 10440 batts and the Precise is totally mechanical, no parts to fail. I'll probably send the Spade in for a refurb when I get a chance.

You will acclimate and be pooping in no time

Personally, not to knock the creativity of modders, I prefer to use the ones that are actually Marketable. They just look better and tend to be slick. Besides, I'm LAZY to the MAX.

Good article. I'm not about to go back to tobacco or stop vaping. The idiots leading these bans may succeed in stopping the LEGAL sale of (We need a new name for these)ecigs, but they'll never be able to make them go away.

WATCH THE ROAD, WATCH THE ROAD, QUIT LOOKIN OUT THE WINDOW!!!!!
