thanx, but no, not really. but i have gone round and round with it a few times.

You took Todd’s stab mod and totally redid it, and made it look great. Then you took blocks of stab and made mods. Really, that’s pretty amazing to me and everyone else who saw those pics.

that pic almost makes it look like a hunk of poop compared to what it actually looks like.

I’m just glad you like it. Every so often I do a couple of things that turn out right. Hope you’re doing good. Stay safe.

Sheesh, you’re making me consider getting a Nord.

the Nord. its actually a nice, for what it is, mod. i am running a 1.4 ceramic coil in it, cause i have a bunch of them. the flavor is very lacking, but it can put out a small cloud. if it was the best that vaping could be, i would be happy with it and stay offf smokes. i really want to try the only .6 coil i have, i bet its even better.

That's too bad you're having problems with your Rig mods.I have 5 Rig mods and have had several others and I've never had any issues with any of the threads and I've never had one that had a crunchy button.
My Rig mods are among my favorites.

Yeah it's not a crunchy button per se, it's the threading somewhere (either the contact itself or the threads where the pin screws into), that when putting the pin back in, it starts getting hard to turn. The first few turns go in fine - yes I know I'm not cross threading somewhere, but once it gets to a certain point, it gets rough.

Sucks that it had to be my Rigs too.

I know this isn't electronic cigarette related but I wonder what would happen if someone asked me for a hand check photo and I took a picture of a new cable modem

You’d be kicked off VU...No seriously, I’m sure nothing would happen. Or were you kidding?
Hand check is just a way to check out other peoples gear.

thanx. but this DT is not an 810. its like a 1010 or something. which is odd, cause the air intakes are not all that large
Oh shoot. That's the X1. I didn't look closely and didn't realize you got it already. Yeah they called that a "competition" RDA so they made it really wide open for maximum clouds. Have you gotten that setup built yet?

Well I was speaking about a specific bit of hardware.

During times like this I would hope that I didn't have to go out and purchase a new piece of equipment. Not because things were breaking down around here I had to

it is an airy MoFo. no way could i max it out. no, have not built it, i can't find how to make the coils i want for it. i think i am going to wick the VV Pyro that i had on the Delubio and give that a try, but that .28 is a bit to much = i'm not normaly looking to chuck CLOUDS. btw, ima have a bit of a surprise for ya tomorrow(hope i didn't just jinx myself )

Scary as shit...i work for a hospital.

Sent from a very cloudy room
Crap, you’re seeing it up close!! It’s scary just seeing my area look deserted. I can’t imagine what it would be like in a hospital. Please be careful! :hug::hug:
It's just unreal. I fear most other states have it headed as well. Insane and idk what to think or say about it. Stay safe.

So I pulled the trigger and got a Purge MMXX - I want to see how much 'quality' they produce. I'm a fan of and always will be mech mods. I love them. All of them. Well, sometimes.

I bought it, because it's supposed to be their latest and greatest mech. We'll just have to see.

I don't like brass, so I got the MO version. I'm pretty sure it's probably cerakoted brass, and that, I'm not really a fan of. I hate brass. Copper, stainless, silver, gold all day, but brass?

Reminds me too much of polishing belt buckles in the Marine Corps with a thing called Brass-O. Cleaned more than just belt buckles. Anything metal that tarnished, really.

yeah, and a few others, and SS . and i will get more, when i figure out what to get.
To get started on something simple, try 7 wraps of Ni80 with a 3mm ID. That'll come in at around .37. 140 watts, give or take. 6 wraps will boost that to around 160 watts @ .32 ohms. Just to get started with a series stack. Keep that wick wet. Make absolutely certain those batteries are pointed in the same direction. I always put em positive up too.

this is 26g, SS or ni80, idk. been a while. that is the .28.

Stainless rises in resistance as it heats up, thus bring down the wattage, When it's a core wire anyway. (that's how TC works btw) That's not necessarily bad if that's what you want, but I prefer Nichrome as the core wire because it ramps up quick and maintains the wattage during the whole pull.
