I'd still like to know why an adult thinks written words on the internet are real things that are gonna come thru their screen and injure them. Or why they can't simply logoff the fuggin internet if they really think that. It's gotta be the same idiots who make frantic calls to the FCC if some DJ says something "offensive" on the radio -- they never heard of the off switch, or the channel switcher, no sirree, they gotta CONTROL THE WHOLE WORLD!

I really, truly, deeply, hate control freaks.

There's good stuff in here!! I felt like such an intruder when I popped in, but everyone here is so smart and so funny I couldn't stay away.

See what I mean about the great PEOPLE at ECF? I loved probably 90% of 'em. It was the idiot moderators that made that place intolerable. So I'm positively thrilled that a nice crew of those people has come over here, where there are SANE moderators. :)

heh... When you were a kid, did you ever play "school"? Where someone would be the teacher, and give "assignments" to the "pupils"? I think I was about 8 yrs old when it dawned on me that you cannot force anyone to do anything, ever. All you can do is offer them motivation -- even pointing a gun at someone, the motivation offered is to not get shot. This awareness came in pretty handy when I found myself occupying a role I never anticipated... "Mom". :D I offered my son the motivation of praise when he was good, and punishment if he wasn't... and left the choice up to him, so he was fully aware that whatever he got, he chose it with his own actions.

I just wish I understood better what I'm shooting for. I get totally confused when it comes to ohms law and heat flux. I am, unfortunately, not mathematically inclined whatsoever and tend to just totally blank out when it comes to numbers.

that's going to depend on how you like to vape, mouth to lung or direct lung? i like both. in m kayfun, i do 8 wraps off 26g around 1 ohm and 22 watts. for direct lung, my petri is at 0.2 ohm with with a fancy build and i have it at 65w

When was that? I sometimes replied to some posts in the new members' forum over there, but there were always so many, it was kinda haphazard. Mainly I tried to chime in if someone asked something about which I had actual knowledge.

No I agree! I was a member there, too, just moved here a lot sooner. Similar scenario, but smaller group of people. Once they quashed our pal, we all jumped ship, I'd go back and peep in from time to time for stragglers. It felt really weird in the beginning, but it sure didn't take long at all to feel at home here. I love this place.

You're tryin' to butter me up, ain't ya? ;)

I'm definitely direct lung. I guess I'm spoiled by VW and TC mods. I only started building coils last year before I ever bought my first mech. The actual resistance hasn't really mattered since I can just adjust the output to suit the coil.

ehh, it does and it doesn't, but i see what youre saying.

ive been using single tube mechs since shortly after i started. i normally run 0.2ohms with a good sony battery either 5 wraps of 24g or 7 wraps of 22g. depending on the rda and the mod. I'm thinking the voltage drop on the reo is going to make a build like that a bad idea

I left ECF a long time ago for Vapers Forum when Spikey was running that forum. It was the same story then too. Unfortunately that forum ended up dying a slow and somewhat pitiful death. Then I went back to ecf because I wanted new gear and had no idea what was out there anymore. Then I found Sedge's atomizer anthology and that's when I first discovered the awesomeness of Roxynoodle . I also nearly missed a mortgage payment from buying the high end attys discussed in that thread. Lol

No... really don't see any need to, with a moderator who's actually sane! :D I liked it here right off, when I came back in Feb, but I did feel a lot of "homesickness" for my old friends over there. So as much as I absolutely despise what they did to Roxy, at least it got a lot of those old buds over here, because like her, I won't go back. I do go over and PM a few folks, but I won't post on the forum there anymore, ever; I only go and read it when someone posts a link here to something funny or truly obnoxious. I'm always tempted to verbally bitchslap someone, but then I might get banned and wouldn't be able to PM anyone there. :D

I'm interested in some coconut water. What would you recommend? I tried some recently that had pineapple mixed with it, but it was also carbonated.

I use the Zico brand, the chocolate flavor, and also mix in maybe 10% chocolate milk, just because the chocolate coconut water is a little "thin" and not really sweet enough for me. I used the plain unflavored Zico for a while, but I mixed some pinapple juice into it because unflavored coconut water kinda icks me out.. but the pineapple really plays hell with my mouth, so I started using the chocolate flavor instead.

Lol that video came out when I was in high school, you're making me feel old. In other news Miami was pretty fun...except when I went to South Beach. I expected tons of hot girls in bikinis, but there was a gay pride parade so it was a bunch of dudes in banana hammocks :( But my sister's wedding was pretty nice.

Doesnt Miami have more than one beach?

you can use ohms law calculators.

Ok so for example in the boreas I'm running .18ohms at 100 watts comes out to around 4V on the rx200 which is great because it's SS coils... Normally on a kanthal build I like 5-6V. I know in a mech the voltage is limited by the battery right? I get confused because when I put everything in on steam engine it comes out to 23amps... I think all of my batteries are 20amp.

Oh, and I can totally relate to what you mean about those who throw rocks at any subject that's contrary to their own knowledge or experience -- I started a thread over there about coconut water being an absolute miracle for those with the puffy ankle problem (electrolyte imbalance), and I finally had to just withdraw from my own thread, there was so much negativity. I gave up, and just answered questions about that problem and about coconut water if someone PMed me about it.

But there's a real lot of folks who are convinced that just because they never suffered a given problem, then that problem simply doesn't exist, it's just a figment of the imagination. :rolleyes: A closed mind gathers no knowledge of any kind. :D

I'm unfamiliar with brands at present, but I'll keep an eye out for Zico. Is the chocolate non-carbonated? Mainly interested in the coconut water for its high levels of potassium to minimize leg cramps and to help with hydration.

Yes, no carbonation at all, in any of the Zico products to my knowledge. I've tried a couple other brands, but since I like the chocolate, I stick with the Zico.

Building for mechs is a bit of an art.

Arthur, I can teach you Ohm's Law. I taught it for 19 years, including to special needs students.

For the Nuppin, I use duals, 8wraps, 2.5mm ID. It's not a big air atty. That build works well to 3.5-3.6v.

Got my first "firemeter" yesterday. I did not even know they existed till I seen them on Vapors Tv. Got the Greek Vape 521. Firemeter is a coil resistance meter that you can fire your atty on. It will save me from dryfiring coils on my mods when building. Pretty excited about it. CHEERS!
