  1. Moonshine soak Rinse Dry Reassemble PITA lol
  2. Yea and I absolutely loathe golf. My vacation is the same way and luckily my son is a lake-beach bum too. Each day I Get up Cook Breakfast Hit the beach Make a drink Repeat as necessary until it is dark Walk to the Pub next door Eat dinner Crash Repeat the next day and add a little fishing, walking, and one trip to Barefoot Landing (Huge shopping place where RonJon and cool shops are) and that is my vacation. My son is 9 and could care less about all the attractions and just wants to boogie board, dig holes, and swim-catch beach critters.
  3. I generally do not worry about them when charging but am OCD about being as safe as I can. It does seem overnight charging is the ticket for these bad boys. I may buy one of those "battery bags" that are designed to safely charge Lithium Ion batteries unattended.
  4. And use a Joye or other name brand charger (unless you are Bebop lol)
  5. I plugged in 3 that were all well into the orange and left them plugged up all night in a metal container (for safety) and all 3 were 100% charged. I really think it pauses instead of quits
  6. Appreciate it man. Yea I would if I knew how to do it. I cannot seem to find a way to modify the title to include "and subsequent weight loss" lol.
  7. Have you tried a new coil? What did you use to clean the coil (I assume that is what you mean by cleaned your resistance)? I do not clean coils I only replace them but it seems your problem started when you tried to clean the coil. I would try popping a new one in and see if that helps. Another reason I use single coils because I change mine very 4-5 tankfulls. I hae found the time to clean them is not worth it with the cheap replacement options.
  8. We always go to Cherry Grove S.C. It is only about a 6 hour drive from door to door and we love it. Been to the same place now will make 6 years in a row.
  9. The 15 days left before 9 days at the beach are gonna seem like a month lol. So ready to go and backdoored into an extra day. We always go the first week of June Sat-Sat but my brothers wedding caused us to have to move it till July 5th-12th. Just so happens we are closed the 4th, so leaving Thursday night and checking in a little early!
  10. I have some a year old or older that look black but the bushing, o-ring, whatever you call it that surrounds the center post on the battery will darken over time but shouldn't contribute to any sort of burned taste. With that said I cannot imagine it would hurt to clean it with alcohol. Its what I have used over a year to clean my tanks, battery contacts, charger contacts, and coils until I realized it was better for me to just replace them as cheap as they are.
  11. I am constantly swabbing the contacts of my wife's batteries and cleaning my charger contacts with alcohol because she refuses to take the time to swab them out before plugging them in. Its a pet peeve of mine and I now, with her permission of course, am the "designated charger" of batteries. It is good to keep a lot of Qtips around and swab the contact on the battery off every time the tank is off for whatever reason. The production of steam produces condensation both below the coil and in the shaft the coil slides into. This condensation will cause a very funky taste because it is basically burning on the contacts if not cleaned often.
  12. He wasnt cleaning the shaft. I am sure the Nautilus is a great tank if one wants to spend the money. I am just happy with what I am using and see no reason to change it lol. Simplicity is key for me.
  13. As I was charging 3 of mine last night I noticed something. The light on the charger would go green but the light on the battery would still be on. It would pause for a few minutes then kick back in as the different stages of charge were reached. I think when I pulled mine off the charger I happened to see it glowing green and assumed it was charged. I am not sure there is a need to unattach then reattach to keep the charge cycle going like I had first thought. Being in the same room where they are charging in plain view makes it easy to see the green light and assume the charging cycle is complete. At times I have 6 charging at the same time and it makes it even harder to remember which one was plugged in when lol.
  14. I fixed a guys SVD in my service department and he hated his Nautilus. I let him use one of my extra KPT 2s with Aero Base for a couple days and he is switching over.
  15. Vapor talk store has them in 5 packs for $5.99 as do about every supplier. Not hard to find they are the universal KPT coil.
  16. I keep waiting for it to get harder but so far the lifestyle changes have been pretty organic.
  17. But in all seriousness it is bad to lose too fast. One of the core beliefs in the WW program is you should only lose a couple pounds a week. It is the healthiest way to do it and has been an amazingly easy lifestyle change for me. Outside climbing out of the lake back into the boat, a little swimming and not using the golf carts at work and walking everywhere I need to go I have added almost no extra exercise. I will when the weight stops dropping off on its own. I do not want to average over 3-4lbs a week. I wish I had started WW when my wife did a couple years ago and would have had I realized how easy it would be.
  18. Never heard of that. Maybe that explains the wicked hangover today. Well it could have been the bourbon I guess.
  19. This guy has very little to be grumpy about. Well maybe with some of my lesser intelligent employees from time to time haha.
  20. Never grumpy I let Mrs BC have that emotion lol.
  21. Week 6 weight loss 3.4 lbs Total loss 21.4 lbs in 6 weeks
  22. Vaping at my desk as I type this. It is welcome in my place of employment.
