What did you do today that is vape related?

Amazon,
I picked up a Wiha hex driver set a little while back and this has all those sizes as well as all the other style bits.
Hopefully the bits are accurate and durable.
It's reassuring to hear that you like your set, thank you!
I have a different set that I picked up some years ago from Lowes which is okay but the fit seems a tad off with some of the bits.

Bought the stuff I needed to get back into coil smithing…got my Strife 28 RDA in vapemail today…now just waiting for my Heavy Hitter mod to come in and start back into everything (copper all the way, mod and rda)…then I just work on my juice making and I won’t have to use these awful disposables!

Mixed and or adjusted 5 DIY juices (including a couple SFTs of new flavors) I make all of my own juices and most are from my own recipes 
Pulled some hardware and mods out of storage and did some cleaning up on them for either re use or to sell in the near future.
First to get cleaned up and working again was this Floris Orca custom build..MM silver 510, 8ml silicone bottle, 26g .999 silver contacts, and a 21700 battery with an authentic Haku Cruiser rda with an ultem cap and an Alien Clapton .40ohm coil build.

Bought the Atmizoo Steam Shell rba
I did, it's called USPS...
For all the hub ub on their site about transferring to regional hubs and last mile carriers or whatever all that crap is...
The mailman/lady still delivers it, just takes them sooooo long. Maybe it's 2 mules and a cart!
Made an order from wireoptim (last day for 40% off all retail) Got a spool of wire, some pre-wound coils and a builders tool kit (finally... have been using "okie rigged" stuff that I made or had around)
Mixing day today.
Some in my usual 6mg. Some 12mg I use for more desperate times.
Also some 18mg to see if it can keep me from vaping so much 1st thing in the mornings that my jaw hurts.
BTW: Today is my 100th day in a row without so much as 1 cigarette (234th with no more than 1).
Yeah, I'm keeping track.
I've surprised myself.

Now that I've got a new battery cap for my Aegis Solo w/ 510 adapter, I went to put the Wismec Armor NSE tank I've been using on it back on....it told me "atomizer short". BAH!
While I do have the RBA heads for this tank, this head was the stock 0.28 Ohm WS-M one that I like. I wasn't gonna waste it. I know these coil heads, and while not officially rebuild-able, they kinda are. Its a giant ProTank head after all....lol
Checked the bottom, yup one wire under the rubber plug, one above it contacting the "pin" about 45 degrees from each other....spiffy. But, I got nada on my DVM resistance test...so I pulled it apart and found the issue...
While the wire ends LOOKED fine as to placement, the actual wires going vertically up inside the coil head had shifted and were touching each other. (damn naughty wires, stop that!)
A little work with my bird's beak knife to rearrange them, put it back together after giving the head a nice rinse out for good measure,...and Voila! It reads 0.28 again.
Yay for cheap and easy fixes!

200ml will only last him till Tuesday lol.
Probably been too hot to run his manufacturing facility, or his electric bill is too high from the AC running non-stop.

Even at $11 per 100ml and free ship, I'm not spending a Grant every month for juice. This will hold me till I reorder flavors. Got down to using some I seldom use.
It's time...for the Seahawk's first real game of the year against our rivals the LA Ram's...gotta be ready, eh?
So, I re-wicked and cleaned the 'ol HawkMod I'd copped together years ago. That Galatek RBA reminds me of the old Kingdome..hehe.
It only uses a version of an old DIY juice I'd come up with..."HawkSauce".
Which is basically a mix of mints, a touch of absinthe, and a wee bit of Koolada. With a shot of DIYFS Holy Vanilla.
It's weird, it's loud, and it's awesome...just like us 12's...

That 200ml got here about 9/7. Too sweet and mixed it w/100ml diy. That 300ml is gone as of this am.200ml will only last him till Tuesday lol.

7>22 =15 / 300 = 20ml pr day. A little more than I thought but doesn't surprise me.
Probably bout where I'm at plus 6-8ml 12mg MTL...

Figured as much, with all that squonking.Probably bout where I'm at plus 6-8ml 12mg MTL...
Have you tried rayon? It doesn't gunk like that and wicks faster. Mo better...
Nah, maybe one day. Thanks for the tip
Did the deed of re-wicking and cleaning a couple of my more tricky atomizers yesterday.
See how small some of the coil builds I have to maintain are....the inner deck circle is the size of a dime.
Conquerer RTA deck...
Wrapped those coils by hand long ago.
Then, ya gotta wick it...perfectly...or it'll leak all over. Fun, eh?
The other one that is PITA because it doesn't really have an attached base is the Moonshot RTA's deck.
It has a base that it sits in, but only secured down by screwing down the bell housing.
GL dry-burning those...

I was rebuilding a carburetor and had all the parts laid out on a towel (in order of assembly) My friend was messing with the parts and got them all mixed up... it was a miracle I got it put back together.
"Roger, Huston. I vaped. Totally unexpected, I'm sure. Major Tom, clear."
Sorry, lowest hanging fruit, the least resistance and all that glib jive.
I broke the board trying to put it back in, ugh. Still have enough parts to make one out of two, but put it on the back burner due to frustration.
I have the Black Monolith...it is a Cuboid... ;P

Congratulations!
Cleaned and re-wicked my enormous Notch coil build in a Goon. The one I had to use pliers to bend the wires to fit the damn thing into....4.5MM diameter in a Goon, is pushing it...lol..
But, jeez, it lights up so fast...being a 0.28 coil...thin metal...massive coil. It's a vapor machine.
Lotta ya spurn Notch coils...they rock man...this build is years old...still used.
It's my 'nice' authentic Goon with the post/clamp upgrades, and on the Oni 167 mod so the clamps match.
PS: that's nearly an entire pad of Japanese cotton in there.
I gotta be real careful vaping this beast in my tiny Apt.
I could fog the place very easily...and the smoke alarm is right above my computer on the ceiling...

Watched the 1st episode of the Big Vape documentary series on Netflix. Pretty good. Surprisingly, there was no mention of Hon Lik. It's not anti-vape propaganda (so far, at least) and it was made clear that Juul's creators were trying to help cigarette smokers with a safer alternative. We can be glad for that if nothing else.
Cleaned and re-wicked my little Haze RTA. Love that thing.
It's only home is my Aspire NX75-S. They are perfect together.

Mixed up a 60ml bottle of my main vape; HS-RY4.
With a couple drops of WL Butter Rum for a bit of holiday fun. I miss WL...good folks.
Hell, I had to order that flavoring from Canada...
I just re-use an old HS-RY4 juice bottle..no labeling needed. The knife is for prying off those dern caps...they are very nice caps, but a PITA to get off...hehe.
Kinda had another moment of sad...looking at my old DIY case, and realizing most of those stickers are from shops that no longer exist.

My ancient coil in the Crusades RDA needed replacing. Old school stuff...but I love it.
But, once it's setup, it'll last for months if not years. Problem was, I'd forgotten what wire I'd used..lol..
Has to mess with the Wire Wizard A LOT to dial in what it could be based on the wire stock I have.
But, I got it pretty damn close. Actual building was simple enough.

Re-wicked my QP juggernaut MR (mini-revised)... working great!
Adjusted some DIY recipes (a bit more of this or that and diluted with unflavored base)
Gotta go... super bowl on

Put a build in my new Stubby 21 X-Ray.
Thought about re-wicking a couple other devices, but thinking about it was as far as I got with them.
I do need to re-wick my other X-Ray (an 18) and my Wasp Nano (on top of a Pulse mech squonker) and build a Vessel tank for one of my Pulse AIO mods. Guess I shoulda done more than just think about it.
