Low to Mid-Range

[ChainVapeS]

it takes a man to openly admit that. glad you are reformed

I got rid of the Honda accord and bought a 1991 Acura Legend 4 door. Dropped a JDM Type II 3.2 liter v6 in it, custom chipped ECU, full stainless 3 inch exhaust with long tube headers and a cat delete pipe. She was mean. Would eat most v8s as a snack.
I sadly sold her about 5 years ago when I started my residential painting business. Can't paint interiors and exteriors working out of an Acura. Sold her to buy my first work truck. A 1988 Chevy Scottsdale.

Me too! Peter Stormare! First time I saw one of those, I thought WTF? It grew on me, though.

I'd never seen the one where the pink car gets "flung."

Peter Stormare played the bad guy in Fargo who put Steve Buscemi in the wood chipper! Gotta love it!

I had a Civic wagon in the early 80s. Put three clutches in and had to rebuild the transmission all within two years. Car was two years old and had 25k miles on it when I got it. P-O-S. Never again.

Re the ejuicesteals order: today so far I have no leaking from the Resa Prince. I refilled the tank and did the turn-upside-down-and-open-airflow thing. Hasn't leaked since (so far).

Debating on whether to build the Gemini RTA or save it for the stash box. Dunno yet.

I consider Toyota's one of the longest lasting most reliable cars out there.
From observing others, Honda's not so much.

 

[The Cromwell]

Oh and btw I got the second version of the Ram squonkers. They have a insulator between the switch and the slug that contacts the 510.
The first ones did not and could blow up in your pocket if keys shorted the button to the atty.
Or at least autofire in your pocket causing some excitement.

Honda's are great cars, pretty much bulletproof like toyotas from my experience. Engines run a good long while, suspension rarely has issues. I never had massive stereos in mine. Worked on a coworker's nephews car who was into all that competition stuff. Forget what it was, ford fiesta or geo metro. Dinky ass car. Had 3x 12" subs across behind the back seat with a separate amp driving each on a custom shelf he made in the back. The car was in for a new rear window, he blew it out. The guy I worked with was showing me that system, turned it up to like 3 or 4 out of 10 on the volume and the rearview mirror nearly fell off.

I think the worst (best?) system I heard in person at the shop was this customer in his mid 40's. He sagged his pants, had the gangsta lean, the bling and whole 9yds. Drove a gm suburban that he had us put a second high output alternator and battery in because his system was draining the single battery stock setup. Don't know what all he had in the back of that thing, at least 3x 15's. His bass would set off car alarms and shook and rattled the bay windows in the front of our shop to the point I was waiting for them to fall out. Got in the truck with him to run back to his place up the road and bring his truck back to work on it, I'm pulling the door shut and the fucking bass hit and blew the door back out of my hand. Like son of a bitch turn it down, I can't even close the door. lmao.

All that for a little bit of money, and it’s such a beautiful day. To paraphrase Marge in the movie.

But Steve Buscemi kinda deserved the chipper, imho.

My heritage includes German but damn do those fools over engineer everything. GM skidplate or airdam under the oil pan, 4 bolts or screws. Vw, Audi? 35 torx head machine screws. Same with intake manifolds, timing and shit. Like a German 4 banger and somehow they've got quad overhead valve, quad cam shaft with a loopty do and some other shit, 4 timing chains and requires a special $600 tool that can't be used for anything else. Like what are ya doin? lol There must be a welfare program for German engineers that every single last one MUST be employed. haha.

I agree, in the 70's and early 80's hondas and other asian imports were junk. Boxy crappy little things with sticks and hand crank windows, steel punched wheels that look like a cheap donut.

Modern Hondas? Damn near bulletproof, all power options, more cabin and leg room than a Lincoln damn near, smooth, quiet. Now it's American cars that have gone to cheap shit. Though I have nothing against Toyotas either, love their (now older) Avalons. Like a high end camry, basically a Lexus without the pricetag. But the funny part, so many "American" cars now built elsewhere and a lot of "Imports" like Honda built in the US. Go figure. lmao

You are probably going to choke when I say this, but the best, longest-lasting, cheapest-to-maintain car I've ever had was a 2004 Hyundai Sonata. My son-in-law is still driving it with 360k on the odometer. When I turned it over to him at about 265k, it still had the factory water pump, catalytic converter, alternator, power steering pump, etc. Only major work I had done to it was a transmission rebuild at about 220k, and a harmonic balancer at about 160k. Now I have a 2016 Sonata that so far has been just as reliable, though a deer already tried to kill me and the car to the tune of about $9k in damages. It was almost totaled - only paid $13.5k for the car with 40k on the odometer. I also have a 2009 Santa Fe that my son drives. It is a really wonderful vehicle, too, but has had a few more problems with electronic gadgets and such.

The 2004 was built during the time Hyundai was still offering their 100k bumper-to-bumper warranty. Shows you what a car company CAN do when it's to their own advantage to build 'em right. Otherwise, they're designed with obsolescence in mind; a car becomes a major PITA about 3 months before it's paid for, or about a month after the warranty runs out. Funny how that happens...

The Avalon, from what I have seen, was damn near a piece of art in a car. I don't disagree about Toyotas. The Hyundai Genesis was a gorgeous piece of machinery too. I just had SUCH a bad experience with that Honda, as long as there are other brands worth having, they won't get my business again.

 

[f1r3b1rd]

I prefer the way german cars drive, but you cant kill a japanese car. Clear winner in the durability and longevity column. Too bad they are mostly boring to drive.
As to trucks... murican! Or partly 'murican, we don't exactly make anything homogeneously these days. Nor, do most car companies anymore.

Avalon was supposed to be sold under the Lexus label. The first batch that came off the lot, had the Lexus emblem on the motor.

Hyundai's aren't too bad, some seemed to be taking after Honda's. I felt they were kind of a step below only for things like fitment, ride quality. Like where panels or dash pieces fit, not quite as tight fitting as a Honda. Things felt a little lighter weight, ride was a little more stiff and bouncy. But not terrible (Honda's cr-v's felt the same to me). Especially for the much lower price tag. And they weren't all winners, I liked the 90's civics and I liked the 4th gen civics up to like 03/04. Around 04/05 they were still close to the same, didn't like the taillights. By 06 with the whole new design, not a fan of the cab forward windshields, the funky placement of window switches down by the knees, the deep set gauges way the hell forward.

Far as comfort and things, jag had it well handled. One of the customers I had got to drive their 01 vanden plas. At the time the car was like 6-7yrs old, still only had around 15k mi on it. I'd love to find a living room couch that plush and comfy. Mechanically reliable? Eh, not so much. Lack of driving caused the oil pump to lose its prime and cooked his motor, had to drop a brand new jag crate motor in it. $14k, yikes.

Running down the highway in that thing felt like I had my ass parked in butter. One trip down the highway, windows were up, soft classical music playing on the radio. No wind noise, no road noise. I'm looking around trying to figure out the hold up, everyone else was suddenly creeping down the highway. Finally I look down, it wasn't them. I was doing 95 (doh!). Engine was purring at like 2300rpm not even busting a sweat. I thought whoa, yep. Don't need one of these even if I could afford it. lmao.

Yea I don't know about now, there for awhile they were kind of lost in the mix. They were badged as camry's, the 4 door was the avalon, the 2 door was the solara. Even though they had a full camry lineup and they weren't quite lexus. Every bit as nice though imo. Idk, lexus is basically same thing, toyota's upper end. Just like infinity is nissan and honda's upper end is accura. Or the nsx was their (hondas) speedster model that was kind of it's own thing.

I agree on the trucks for the most part. Late 80's and 90's if someone needed a smaller truck, toyota sr5's and nissans were hard to beat. Far as regular pickups, prefer gm's. But for like an suv, idk. Hard to turn down a toyota fj cruiser or the lexus rx or toyota highlander. Not something I'd use for hauling and not a traditional truck but definitely nice riding smooth handling for light off road, snow etc.

I imagine you could use those mesh but I think the mesh you're talking about, 150, 200, 400 etc was mesh people used to use in genisys atomizers back when they did mesh wick and rolled it, preburned it etc. The mesh for use as a coil would be like the nexmesh, more substantial material. The other finer meshes are more like fine screen door mesh, almost like cloth. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Thanks. @nadalama told me about Screen tanks there too. I just ordered one but will be back for more later probably.

When I ordered Sense Screen coils from EJS triples were fifty cents, and duals were a buck. I've tried neither so just went with the cheaper ones. I went back this morning and duals are now fifty cents. I'm contemplating buying even more coils for a tank I don't even have yet lol. I know I like mesh but the high wattage range isn't really my style. BUUUUUUT, they're so dang cheap I better get more...

Just curious - what color of the Screen tank did you choose? I was really thinking hard about one of the black & white ones, but dang, I just don't need it! I'm liking this Resa Prince anyway, might end up ordering another. Have two RBAs to use already, so....

I wanted a red one which is actually Red/White. The only red they have is Red/Purple. So I ordered a Blue/White instead. The wooden one was intriguing but I don't know how durable they would be. If it's cheap wood it might crack? I dunno..

The Screen has a top slider which I dislike. It looks like the entire top slides like the Mesh Pro. Hopefully it isn't as bad. If it is, I'll try the Sense Super Mesh tank. It has a pod-like rubber top fill thingy. It uses the same coils, just different styled tank.

I ordered 3 of the blue/white. The top does slide just like mesh pro. They will be a in house tank and regulated to the hoard.

Less than 14 after shipping for 720 mils of juice.I have some blvk unicorn tobacco flavored juice that is better than I thought it would be. Does not taste anything like cigarettes.

Of course.

Pretty much all the TVF series tanks are cloud chuckers. That's what they're designed for primarily and they do that well. They're not terrible for flavor, and some of the coils are pretty good, but clouds still come first.

The Prince RBA deck is exhibit A. A huge long bottom airflow hole that traverses the whole width of the deck. Great for massive cloud production, but the open middle part brings air straight past the coils. It's not hurting anything, but it does diminish the flavor potential of the deck.

I have a post around here somewhere, where I went into detail on the fairly easy hack I did to turn that into 2 matching bottom airflow holes. I'll dig that out later.

I definitely noticed that the Q4 coil I'm using now is open across the bottom like that. I understand what you mean now. My inclination, if I were trying to figure something out on my own, would probably be to fill most of that hole with cotton somehow, but since I haven't looked at the RBA lately, I really should reserve comment. Thanks!

 

[gsmit1]

I used a cut section of a peek from the single coil insert from some rda I have. I don't remember which one now. I should have made a note of that because the shape was perfect. Materiel is perfect too. It will withstand the heat from underneath, at that distance from wet coils while vaping.

The Baby RBA is one of my favorites. I like the small chamber and not so huge airflow. But a modified Prince RBA sounds great too.

The Baby RBA is an exception. Seriously rich flavor outta the box. Yes. Small chamber and perfectly sized bottom velocity style airflow. The only drawback is the side mounting posts, but who's gonna try n put wide flat coils in that little deck anyway.

Even with the airflow hack, the Prince is still a cloud chucker, but with much better flavor.
