The flavor is so intense it's like tasting it right out of the bottle!

That little thing is a 30ml juice bottle, standing up. Fits great.

Wow, nice work!Made another one of these. This one is flexible plastic so it doesn't sound like my batteries are getting beat up when I set them in.

Not sure if juice wipes off. Never tried.

Sort of wipeable but soaks up juice. Same material as a mouse pad I believe
I vaped and had my coffee then I went for flowers and cards for my Dad and myself for my Mother for Mothers Day for the both of us. Cooked the Potatoes and Shrimps for the appetizers while vaping~! Then prepared the rest of the meals along with picking up the deserts all the while vaping. Now unwinding with a glass of wine still vaping. Did I mention I was vaping all day~? Mom had a wonderful day so I guess I did good! Did I mention I was vaping all day?

Good of you to ensure that your mother had a good day today. I'm sure she was touched.
this ^
while I have not yet tried to clean it. I think the best/easiest way would be with a garden hose. though a wet rag will get spots well enough.
I got so many hugs today I guess I did the right thing~! She had a wonderful time and so did my Dad celebrating her day. I can't express how blessed I feel to still have them here to celebrate with on these Special Days. Dad is 90 and Mom is 87. I am really one lucky bastard I guess. I will work my ass off every time I have left to spend with them.

for me, it's better than what I had. I will say though, it's dark color hides things =little pieces of wire. but that could also be my lighting = not enough.
for me, it's main purpose = a mod/tank gets knocked over, the glass will not break. and it looks better.
for $5 I am very happy. money no object, I would have got a different color.

Well, yesterday, I finally replaced the coil that I started using right after xmas. 
Today, I'm going to mix some of my usual strawberry & cream. I always keep a 30ml of VG and 60ml of PG, alongside my 16oz bottles of those, because they're easier to get a syringe into for smaller amounts... but my idiot son apparently switched the VG on left and PG on right of the larger bottles... so I'm refilling my 60ml PG bottle... then actually look at it, and see that weird-looking cloudiness you see when you put VG into PG. I could kill him, had to dump the entire 60ml bottle and rinse it out, now letting it dry before I put anymore PG in it. I'm quite in sympathy with Red Forman at the moment: "DUMB ASS!"

Started in on the bottle of Country Clouds Blueberry CP, definitely fits the Blueberry taste I’ve been looking for. Ordered a 25mm Bonza conversion cap and a Dead Rabbit glass cap. Put a set of fused Clapton wotofo coils in the Rebirth.

I hate it when people mess with my stuff.
That was quite a long-lived coil. Beats the hell out of throwing $3 to $5 in the trash can every few days, doesn't it? I'm so glad I learned how to make my own.

Stealth time
Although the time is considerable the amount of ML's that went thru that coil isn't much. A puff count or the amount of ML's is more accurate when calculating coil life.

Wait a minute. Behind the DUMPSTERS? WTF? I'd sit in my fucking car. I dare some mofo to come up and tell me I can't vape inside my own goddamn car. I ain't standing out there with the trash.
People have already gotten in trouble for taking breaks in their car.

Well I'm not even going to ask you why. I just don't understand that.
Seems like this mess started when we smokers allowed ourselves to be pushed out years ago. We let other people make us go stand out in the rain and cold so we didn't subject other people to secondhand smoke - people who, chances are, had been around secondhand smoke THEIR ENTIRE LIVES up to that point.
I want someone to tell me why my coworker can drown herself in Giorgio and come to work and spread that shit all over the building, all in the bathroom, in the foyer where you can smell it for 20 minutes after she walks through. Or the lady at the Mannheim Steamroller concert drowned herself in perfume to the point that WE HAD TO GET UP AND MOVE because she stunk so bad.
But you can't vape unless you stand out there at the dumpsters, where it already stinks? Jesus Christ, that is COLD. That just pisses me off so bad!
Me too. They're shoving it down our throats and there's nothing we can do. You don't like it? Ok, we'll replace you.
"Some blame the American worker for not taking what is her due. But in a period of consistently high unemployment, job insecurity and weak labor unions, employees may feel no choice but to accept the conditions set by the culture and the individual employer."
Read this yesterday and thought it was interesting.

I started learning to build coils when I was still using the T3S's, which were $6 for a 5pk... but about the third time I got one that was a dud right outta the pkg, I said this shit is for the damn BIRDs, and set about learning to rebuild those tiny heads. Someone mentioned that if I could rebuild THOSE tiny things, then a kayfun would be a piece of cake -- and it was! Now, the Achilles has a very similar architecture for the coil-mounting, but even a bit more room to work in, so it's even easier than a kayfun.
But yeah, sometimes I have a coil that just won't die, for whatever reason. It might be because I've gotten kinda lazy about dry-burning, and if the wick looks really brown and dirty, instead of pulling it and dry-burning, I just syringe all the dirty brown juice out of the well just as well as I can, and then bathe the coil and wick in plain PG, for 3-4 rinses, syringing out the brown stuff until what I'm syringing out isn't much darker than plain clear PG... so that even if the coil still looks a bit brown, the wick is back to white, and it's good for another week or so before I need to do it again. That, which doesn't wear out the coil so fast, and the fact that I have my flavoring down to about 23%, so the gunk doesn't build up so fast, really extends the life of the coil. I long ago learned that you can't rinse the wick in water, it just destroys it, but rinsing it with plain PG works really well! And PG is cheap, especially since I buy it by the gallon via Amazon, and get free shipping.
I'm ALLLLLLL about pinching pennies till they absolutely SCREAM. I did tell my son about my extreme displeasure with him, about switching the PG/VG arrangement, and he was properly apologetic, said he didn't know there was a "precise arrangement." I asked him how long he's known me... almost 31 yrs now? (next Sunday is his 31st b-day!).
He did the same thing once with my bottles of DX Bavarian and Vanilla Swirl, which I always put back into the cabinet in the correct order for mixing -- but fortunately those 2 taste so similar that flipping their recipe amounts didn't make much difference in the taste of the finished juice; I use both of them because the DX Bavarian starts tasting vomitous if you use more than 6%, which was the amount of DX Bavarian in the recipe in its initial incarnation, plus 4.5% of the Vanilla Swirl; they're now down to 4.7% and 3.55% respectively.Andria

Well I agree about rebuilding those tiny-ass coils. You probably felt like you had the back 40 to work in when you switched to the Kayfun!
I've seen a couple of videos where people dry burned their coils and then gave them a quick rinse under a stream of water, and the damn coil looked brand new after that. I haven't tried it, but am going to one of these days.
"Precise arrangement," yeah, I like that. I've gotten used to assuming there's always a precise arrangement after living with my husband for 45 years. I think he probably was always like that, but then he spent a few years in the military, and they just encouraged him.
Everything has a precise arrangement.I have so few things that are always in the right place, that it throws me for a total loop when someone disturbs that. I have had to really beat myself up about always having my keys in my purse, for example, and if son borrows my car, omg, it's Katie bar the door after that. I could find those damn keys anywhere.
After I locked myself out of the house for about the twelfth time, and had to climb in a window in a skirt and heels and show my tail feathers to the neighborhood, I was so traumatized that those keys became like GOLD to me - if they didn't go straight in my purse, I could muster a panic attack in about 30 seconds flat.
Don't. Mess. With. My. Stuff.

My son is the WORST for putting his shit just willynilly ANYWHERE it lands, then running amok like a maniac looking for it! Including his damn keys! I told him I'm gonna get him something to put on his keychain that he can call, so he can find the damn things!
I'm the most disorganized person in the WORLD, my house is always a mess, and my desk...
BUT, stuff that goes in my purse, STAYS in my purse unless I'm using it; my Ventolin stays on my nightstand unless I'm going somewhere, when I put it in my purse -- in the front pocket with my keys!... and all my kitchen shit, including all my vape shit, is very well organized (well, except that damn vape counter, which looks like an explosion in a vape shop) and I expect it to STAY well-organized. Because you CANNOT cook if your stuff is just willynilly everywhere, and that applies to mixing ejuice, too. I had to learn, the hard painful way, how to always keep the MOST IMPORTANT shit where I can ALWAYS find it -- an asthmatic freaking out because she can't find her huffer is a terrifying sight.Andria
ETA: yes, dry-burning is very effective to clean the coil... but it does wear the coil out faster than just rinsing the coil/wick in PG. Nearly certain that's a large reason for my coils lasting as long as they do -- I'm too lazy to dry-burn most of the time.

Bought a Kali V2 from jwill (best buying experience from this guy )
And bought this tonight.
My first mech. It’ll be , interesting ..
I’ve tried many times to get into it. I’m going to sell my Desire Rage soon.
I hate how bottles get saturated with whatever juice you used plus I never got the flavor I get from dripping. YMMV though.
Drip til I die

jwill recommended it and from what I see for reviews on it, it looks solid. Lifetime warranty? Sheeet.
This is why I don't complain about prices. Armageddon, now HexOhm. You get what you pay for, or ya dont get what ya dont pay for. (I did score it for $175). The O Frame model. I just found out about it today. I don't follow mech mods at all. Now I am, hoping it performs well and safely.
And just to re-iterate, jwill has helped me tremendously.

I put a Berserker mini on a Pico Resin and had myself a nice, cinnamon-heavy MTL vape last night. Hadn't used that tank in a while, and had forgotten just how much I like it. The flavor is so good, and it produces a lot of vapor for MTL. Very nice!
