One question I have for you all is, how many mods/tanks do you all have anyhow?

I have three mods (Revenger x, obs bat, and xpriv) and five tanks (zesthia, bachelor x, advken dominator, smok prince, and vaporesso NRG)
Lost count when there was talk about a vapoclopolis in 2016....prolly bought about 10K for various items.

Spurged this morning after getting an email from France....bought two more Flave 22mm RDA's for duh squonkers.

Besides buying a couple other small RDA's a couple weeks ago, that's it for this years buying frenzy.

I've spent money on all my mods, including the one I used a won store credit on. I could not resist a flash sale for $48 off on a squonker, so that will be my first one. That will put me at having 5 mods, only 3 of which won't have pre-installed batteries.
G'Evening Sarah how's the day treating you my friend

Yes but is it fully functioning watch the carb while you move it and you will be able to see if it is moving all the way or not.
Without taking off the shield that covers the whole engine, you cannot see where the cable attaches to the carb (obviously they do not want people to work on their own engines), so what I did was stick my finger up under the shield to touch the cable at the throttle lever on the carb, then move the throttle control up and down. It "felt" like it was moving properly.

I had a bookcase....:oops:... I put the books in storage, fill the bookshelf with vaping shit....:rolleyes:
Here's a funny for you... when Lannie and I first started vaping... you know, one or two mods and a few cigar-shaped/sized thingies (Evod?), I went in the shop and took great pains to cut out and drill and route and stain wood to make special "mod holders" for both Lannie and myself. In a matter of months, those holes were all filled and mods stacked on the table around it. Then I made more wooden holders for the little 15 mL and 30 mL juice bottles we bought from various vendors (or won via various contests). Then Lannie started making all our juices, then she became an absolute "mixtress extraordinaire" (she's so good, she could be doing this as a business and getting rich if it wasn't illegal in this state) and the amount of 60 mL and 120 mL bottles full of juices almost fills the pantry.

You have a wonderful wife, but you knew that....:)

I'm whipped tonight ....had to be at the lab at 6:30 this morning for blood work, then piddled in the garden, then fermented some apples and pears, then went to dinner, then stopped at the store because I had to go to dinner, took shower, bout ready to hit the hay, unless I get a second wind.

Juice...how long did it take to get that container to Hawaii?

I need to get one too.

The actual journey from Port of Oakland to Port of Hilo was less than a week. But Matson bumped us off of two scheduled shippings after claiming we missed the drop off time for the first scheduled one, which we did not according to the contract we signed - so in reality a month

We shipped a car, no personal possessions

I have three mods (Revenger x, obs bat, and xpriv) and five tanks (zesthia, bachelor x, advken dominator, smok prince, and vaporesso NRG)

Mods, I have two Sigelei Sparks, one Sig 75TC, two Sig Mini Books, one Sig Evaya, an Aspire Pegasus, a Kanger Kbox Mini Platinum, an Apollo CTRL, a Joyetech eVic VTwo, and an eLeaf Pico Resin, so what's that? I count eleven. There is an Sbody Lancer on the way from FT, if they ever decide to ship it, so twelve altogether. I've bought all of them, but every one has been a bargain of one sort or another, many from hardware clearance sales, long after the heyday of the mod. All of these are in use except my silver Mini Book, which I am keeping back just because.

Tanks, I have one Herakles Honor here and one on the way, two stainless and two black Kabuki clones, one more stainless on the way, a full-size Triton, a Triton Mini, a Geekvape Illusion Mini, two Sig X-Tanks, and the Sbody Lancer tank on the way. Also several Nautilus Minis, one full-size Nautilus, a UD Zephyrus, and a bunch of Aspire Vivi Novas that I only use occasionally. Have come to actively dislike the Nautilus Mini and the Nautilus, too, since I found these Kabuki clones. Same coil, but no comparison in the vaping experience.

Still have probably a half-dozen Smok Champion Vivi Novas that have never been taken out of their boxes. I was buying them for a buck apiece from Madvapes, treating them basically as disposables because at that point it was already impossible to find replacement coils. Those Vivis were all I used for a couple of years, until I discovered the Aspire Vivi, which uses BDC and BVC coils and was a quantum leap forward at the time. They'd still be perfect for me if they had decent airflow control. I did find a couple of generic airflow control bases that worked pretty well. Have maybe one Protank II and three or four Protank 3s that aren't in use any more. A couple of them have Kanger's airflow control base on them. I should send these Protanks to Rich.

Also have a Herakles RTA that I'm scared to try. Have pre-made UD coils and cotton, but I'm just such a chicken. A Sig-S RDA that's wicked with a coil I tried to make and some silica that came with it - caught that wick ON FIRE the other day. Not doing that again.

Went through a phase with mech mods, so there are a dozen or more of them packed up, mostly 18650 size, but also one 26650, one 18350, and two 14500s. Once I bought my first box mod (Sig Spark) I was very nearly immediately DONE with mechs. Got so dang tired of fiddling around with them and never getting a decent vape. Looking back I can't believe I stuck with them as long as I did.

There are still a few EVOD batteries and tanks floating around, too, but anything before that I think is long gone, except for a couple of cigalikes at work that I've just never thrown away.

Aren't you glad you asked? :giggle: A person can accumulate a lot of shit in seven or eight years, especially considering the blinding evolution of vaping equipment during that time. I'm still about three or four years behind.

Not interesting in building coils and squonking. Not in the slightest.
