What did you do today that is vape related?

[Rhianne]

I do hope Rhianne tries out the velocity deck you sent her- she has a few squonks that were given to her and very easy to build and wick an RDA and be able to keep vaping.
Yes we have all been there- I knew that if I wanted to keep vaping I had to learn these things and the forum is a great help!
You Tube tutorials are a big help to me too- I sat and built and wicked my 1st RTA- the OBS Engine dual, watching You Tube lol!
I learned how to wrap my own batteries, watching You Tube- lol!
I still watch You Tube for gear I am interested in or how to operate or how to build and wick. Am I an expert on all things vaping- NO, but I know enough to be able to keep me vaping into the future.

Thank goodness for YT! This whole thing was a big wake up call. I guess I was complacent about it, taking my time with all this stuff.

When I was at ECF though, with the amount of prepping certain people do there, I knew I’d build and mix if I wanted to vape without worrying that my gear will be outlawed.

 

[Rhianne]

Ssshhh...you are vaping in your office? Are you living dangerously today?

I am just waiting, after all this mess that's been in the news, for someone to come to me and say something about the vape rig that's been sitting on my desk for the last eight years. I'm going to tell them, if you didn't know it was there before, you sure as hell weren't bothered by it, so why bother me now?

Like Mama said, life is just not fair.

I figured one of the people who didn’t quit with the bullshitty smoke cessation thing would eventually find their way into his office and ask about vaping! Or not.

 

[nadalama]

Me too love. I’m petrified because he told me outright if he decides to go through with a divorce, he’s throwing me out on the streets...

That’s love right?

But thank you for being so supportive and kind!

You might want to consult with law enforcement, if he's threatening to put you out. Find out what he can legally do. There are laws about such things.

I don’t think he has the right to do that. It’s not the Middle Ages now. If he wants you out, he has to pay for you to stay somewhere, afaik. Suddenly, he is against you? Wtf?

 

[Rhianne]

Sometimes caps can be hard to get off, especially if they haven't been removed for a while. Put the RDA on a mod, tighten it down, then grab the cap and try rocking it back and forth a little as you pull up. If you can get it lifted even a little, after that a butter knife blade makes a good lever to move around the cap and lift it enough to be able to get it the rest of the way off with your hand. You can put a piece of folded paper towel between the knife and your mod, so the mod won't get scratched.

After you have that happen, put some eliquid around the o-rings on the RDA deck, so next time the cap won't be so hard to take off.

I tried my finger nail. Holy crap, I realized how breaking a nail like that really hurts! It’s funny but kinda painful.

I think I’ll soak it in hot water, or will that make it worse. It’s been sitting there for over a month! I’ll try to find something to pry it open that I can’t stab myself with.

Breaking body parts is not good.

Not sure about hot water, since it's all metal, it will probably all expand and still be just as tight as it is now. Plus then the inside will be wet and you don't want water leaking out of the RDA into a mod.

You could maybe try ice against the very bottom part of the deck, see if you can get the deck to shrink just enough to pull away from the cap a little. That's a reach, but hell, it's something to try.

You're gonna have to put the thing on a mod to be able to get hold of it to get it apart, though. Even when they aren't stuck, it's nearly impossible to open them up without putting them on mods.

 

[ccrules]

Insert cursing here. I let my ID expire. Piss off, big govt. We were doing fine without you.

Crap. I may need someone to send me plug n play coils. Not the happy beginning to the celebration of my day of birth.

What kind of coils?

 

[Amber Petti]

You might want to consult with law enforcement, if he's threatening to put you out. Find out what he can legally do. There are laws about such things.

Thank you, I will. Apparently the law states I have 30 days to find my own place and he can’t just kick me out. He’d also kick himself in the ass because he forced me to be a stay at home mom and would have to pay alimony out the ass for what he makes. If he goes through with it, he’s only going to hurt himself

opened vape mail-had a juice leak-ick-have to pay more attention to the pictures and not just read description.Thought I got pineapple/orange-and the picture is large enough to clearly read-Icy pineapple,mango and orange. Icy and mango are not flavors I would get-not on purpose anyway.Got 2-and above my new price cap-live and learn.

Noticed I accidently umarried batts while using single batt mods-labled the boxes singles.

Got around to moving boxes of juice packed last week from kitchen to garage

Thanks to bx10r - found a use for carpet bags gotten at a craft fair like 15 yrs ago that are/were too nice to use. They are the nicest juice storage bags-and have handles for schlepping.

Yes, exactly. My oldest is 8, but from a different guy. He lives with his dad right now but we’re going back to court to make it 50/50, so it’s better for him.

My husband and I have the little one, 2, together. I think he’s just thinking selfishly. He’s pissed at me because I stated I was getting tired of us going back and forth between good and very bad. It’s an ongoing cycle. So I asked if I could go to a friends house to stay a couple nights to relax, calm down, and just think on the situation to find a way to work it out. Suddenly then he wants a divorce. All because I wanted a couple days to myself so I didn’t say things I didn’t mean. He says he’s tired too of the back and forth. I also have no idea how he thinks he’ll go to work and care for our toddler while I’m on the streets. It’s illegal and just downright wrong. You love someone, you don’t do that

 

[AndriaD]

I am in the extinct vape phase.
All the stuff I want is discontinued...

Been there for about 3 yrs. Glad my Achilles RDA still works, and that I do have a 2nd one, if the one I prefer ever goes tits-up (praying devoutly that doesn't happen). But at least I was able to get a few more 40w mods when all this 100w, 200w and up vaping insanity became the latest fad. Still love my Minibooks best of all, but my 2 100w Aegis mods are pretty cool too -- they might actually survive my absolute klutziness, though I destroyed that one white Minibook by dropping it.

[AndriaD]

Thanks, Deb. You put everything I need in there. As it turns out, they shipped my stuff the way that requires a signature, for some reason. I think that they were trying to be nice since they sent it for free. I’ll have some gray hairs now from this, though!

I’m focusing on mixing now, and figured I had enough time to learn building and mixing by May. At least, I’m getting an ohm reader from Bx10r soon. I knew this was in my future, just not this month!

It takes maybe a couple hours to learn to wrap a coil (<5 minutes to wrap it... a couple hours to learn to do it WELL)... maybe a week to get the wicking down-pat. WTH are you waiting for?????

As I said at first... it sounds like he wants to CONTROL you... that thing about wanting you to be a stay at home mom. My husband also prefers that (though our son is now grown), but the couple of times I've gotten employment, he was fine with it... until it went horribly wrong, as it always does for me when I have too much interaction with the outside world. Now my husband likes me to be at home, because he knows that's best for ME... the fact that it's also convenient for him is just a nice side effect.

I agree that divorce is horrible and even a thousand times worse when there are kids involved... but it sounds like he's an immature spoiled brat control-freak that you would eventually be better off without. The thing to do, while still married, is find a way to be as EMOTIONALLY independent of him as possible -- obviously you're financially dependent, but emotionally-dependent is much worse, and will make any potential divorce that much harder on you. If you can become emotionally independent of him while still married, it might be possible for you to endure his irrationality at least until the kids are older... but if things do eventually end up in divorce court, if you are emotionally independent of him, it won't crush you.

I thought I was going to be sewing today; I ordered some 75/11 stretch needles, for my project of putting some cuffs on a new shirt that really needs cuffs. I ordered the needles yesterday, and it said "1 day Prime!" but they haven't even shipped yet!

The shirt is purple stretch velour, and I found some purple stretch panne velvet that is EXACTLY the right color purple! But everything I'm reading says that stretch panne velvet, really needs the stretch needles rather than the ordinary ballpoint needles I've been using on other stretchy stuff -- and I do sometimes see missed/dropped stitches with those ballpoint needles, so I figured it was worth getting the right kind of needles, for such expensive material!

Sewing. Wow. Makes a psycho bitch out of me. lol Glad someone can stand to do it. I tried, honest to god I did, and aunts and grandmas tried to teach me, and I did make a few things here and there, but the family learned to just go the hell on outside while I was sitting at the machine. No telling what might happen!

Surprising about the Prime shipment - they're usually so on-the-ball. Better to wait than screw it up, though. You're right!

Well, I started a moderate weight-loss program back in July... and by the end of August, I had lost about 8 lbs, and it's now about 10 lbs. But though I'm losing weight, I haven't found any money, so I can't afford to replace my entire wardrobe! I did have to buy some new undergarments, but I'm never happy with the way things fit, my figure is just so damned odd. Because of all this sturm und drang because of my weight loss, my husband asked me if he bought me a sewing machine, if I would learn to use it? (I think he was just tired of hearing me bitch about the fit of my clothes). I thought about it for about 3 seconds... might have been 5... and figured that if I could teach myself HTML/CSS, and also gardening, I could probably teach myself to use a sewing machine too. so i said YES! And that night, we picked out a nice Singer 44S from Walmart. That was August 28.

Since then, I've added silicone-backed elastic to the leg bands of about 12-14 pairs of panties so that they DON'T end up giving me a wedgie; custom-tailored 4 camisoles so that 1) they control my various bulges a bit better, and 2) also don't ride up, thx to the silicone-backed elastic; tailored 8-10 pairs of slacks and leggings to 1) actually fit me, and 2) be long enough. Of course there was that first 2 weeks when I realized that sewing a straight seam was actually really damn hard, sewing knits and elastic material is even harder than that, and a "walking foot" presser foot makes it very easy to work on knit/stretch material. Now, having done all those alterations (there are probably still a few pairs of pants to alter, but I've hit the high spots), I have this shirt-cuff project, and also hand-sewing to add some velour cuffs to a nice black cardigan sweater that has 3/4-length sleeves that are that annoying "angel sleeve", I dunno, "bell sleeve"? kind... adding the cuffs will mean that sweater is a LOT more useful and wearable, but it's going slowly; I got the cuffs themselves prepared using the machine, but the addition to the sleeves is all hand-sewing, very slow.

It's fun, often completely infuriating, and so damn useful, I can't believe it took me this long to get a sewing machine and learn to use it!

As long as its for the better thats what counts. Maybe he took you wanting to stay elsewhere as youre done. And his shitty attitude about it is a defense mechanism. I do the same. Push away so if it is over it won't be as hard. My mom is dying right now and we've yet to speak of it. She talks to my wife about it. But im searching myself for a care. And its easier to pretend to not care.

Finally finished off a tank of Hop Scotch and decided to clean out my Crown 4 but before adding a new atty I wanted to do another custard. I got far too many flavors.... lol

Grabbed my Monkey Spunk from Vaping Watch and was in heaven. Love my banana custards. Only other Banana custard I like as much is Nana Gram by Yeti but man can they be expensive. I do try to get some when they have the buy one get 2 free though. Note to self, need to learn a great clone of Nana Gram for my DIY database.

BTW, I also added new wicks to my dead rabbit after testing a few flavors. Eventually I may make a few wraps and setup other attys just to test. Hate using my main dripper for testing flavors....

Here's their warranty page:

https://www.asmodus.com/pages/warranty

I think if mine were doing that, I'd e-mail and see if they will just replace the bottles, rather than have me send the whole unit back. Frankly I'd rather BUY bottles than pack up a unit and send back, but that's just me.

Since both of the bottles that came with your mod have the same problem, I'd be surprised if Asmodus isn't already aware that there's a problem. They should just send you a pair of bottles. However...

I have compared the Luna bottle to a CoilMaster Gremlin bottle I got off eBay, and it looks to me like it would fit. You might lose 1 ml of liquid capacity. Gremlin bottles, though, are the bomb.

i will email them.. the gremlin bottle, i just searched can't find em. link ?

Good question. The only places I see them now are at Coil Master https://www.coil-master.net/product/coil-master-gremlin-bf-silicone-bottle

Hopefully I can catch you before you order Gremlin bottles for the Luna. I am mistaken.

Upon actually trying to install a Gremlin bottle into my Luna, I find that the "shoulders" of the Gremlin bottle aren't flexible enough for the bottle to fit up into the stabwood part of the mod. It almost goes, then won't snug up any further. I am so sorry, if you have already spent money on Gremlin bottles, I will buy them from you so my mistake doesn't cost you money.
