Me too! Most of the time I wind up not using the heat sink at all.

I know this is from yesterday, but I'm just now getting caught up. I was GLAD they called, because what if it hadn't come back on? We can't do anything without electricity here, including flushing the damn toilet. The water pump in the well is electric. No lights, no heat, no water, no nothing. And worst of all, NO COFFEE! I know you don't drink coffee, but I do, and lots of it, and I can't get going properly in the morning without it.I would never say bad words to anyone at the electric company. My life is in their hands! LOL!
@Eskie, my red and black RX200 is perfect, but the second one I just got wouldn't take the Limitless tank. It just wouldn't screw onto it, like the hole was too big or something. I dunno. I put a heat sink on it, which screwed in just fine, and the tank screws into the heat sink, and now it's also perfect. So try that before you think about tearing out and replacing the 510 connector. Maybe it will work.
My uncle had that situation for years at his house, on a well, with an electric pump -- he had a gas water heater, but if the power's off, makes no diff, no water anyway!
We're on "city water" here, and I discovered something really interesting last summer when there was a water main break down the street and they had to turn off the whole street's water to get it fixed -- we have a reverse-osmosis filter at our kitchen sink, so the 5gal tank under there allows us to have a trickle even when the water's off -- great for when you get ejuice on your hands and just HAVE to rinse them off! 
It's hydraulic rather than electric, so even if there's no power, it's available.Andria
I wish I still had mine, it's making connection as it reads as a short, does the 510 of the Crius stick out a lot ? Does the tank screw down all the way ?
hmmmmmm wonder if this is why the ohms were jumpin around on one of Lannie's tanks. Would it cause that, or would it just cause it to read wrong but stay steady?
No they can jump Debs, up and down, then settle, that's usually the pattern, they would also jump as your vaping
That's what mine did too. I'm weird in that I like consistency so I guess that's why my heat sinks are in a box somewhere.
Oh they are a lot worse in Oklahoma.
Hey Lynn. Sorry about your sleep problems. Try and take a nap.Good morning all
Another night with sleep problems so today will be a looooong day!
Good idea. heheheheThanks Emmy!! Me too.
I have one that does that, oh wait, that's not a cat
Morning Lannie, afternoon here
And I thought you were shy.
Yeah, there are more expensive / better quality ones, I have forgot the name of them, they are much better. Resistance will move slightly as the coils heat up and cool down but these were jumping 1 ohm at times, that is not cool lolThat's what mine did too. I'm weird in that I like consistency so I guess that's why my heat sinks are in a box somewhere.
I didn't even respond with words, ain't getting it to that buddy, she is very shy, so I dunno, maybe your behavior has corrupted her
And I thought you were shy.
Not that much

That's really weird -- I use those finned heat sinks on both of my Achilles RDAs, because one of them, the threads have worn almost completely smooth -- but they've never caused a problem with the resistance at all, even when I was using stainless TC.
Andria
OMG lol!!!
I have insomnia so I don't sleep with my dogs. And I won't be sleeping with any pigs under my bed anymore either.
Lynn, I hope you do get in a nap. The "hehehe" above was meant that I posted "nap" and then saw your posting. But I realized it may have seemed as though I was "heheeing" your lack of sleep.
Coffee break time.
Oh and Deb, yes, it POURED at my house. Had to drive the truck to work this morning. The dirt road was mud puddle city.
I grew up with an electric pump on a well. Not fun sometimes and the water was awful.My uncle had that situation for years at his house, on a well, with an electric pump -- he had a gas water heater, but if the power's off, makes no diff, no water anyway!
Andria
No worries Atcha! I didn't take it that way!
Woohoo!!!! Congrats!Hesitating to put this here considering all of the high powered hardware you guys have but oh well...I'm a happy camper right now.
I won a Pico Mega at ECF and DHL just delivered it.
Hi Andria, you probably have the better ones, I need to go find the name of them now. I have found if you screw the pin on the heatsink out too much from the inside, that can cause it too.
Let me go find the name of them.......Kepler, those are the ones that are decent.

Most of us here are mid range, some do MTL, a mixed bunched really, it's usually only a few of us that go clouds bro clouds and I don't vape like that all the time
I have 12 Pico's nope, that wasn't a typo lol
My latest
And congrats
Are jumping ohms like leaping lizards?
Thanks!! I was getting ready to head off to nap land. Not now though...I have to play!!
Thanks! I like that one! I only have 2 now. The 75W one and now this 80W Mega. This was considered a consolation prize. It wasn't consolation for me....it was the one I wanted! Since I have to stealth vape at work, the Pico's are perfect. Very pocket friendly.Most of us here are mid range, it's usually only a few of us that go clouds bro clouds and I don't vape like that all the time

I have no idea what these are; a very kind and generous soul PIFed them to me when I started having problems with one of my Achilles' threads getting so smooth. I do know that they're different; one of them, I had to adjust the screw on the bottom to make it work at all; the other was just PnP as I received it.
Andria
Your loved now sweetie, no more of that for you x

My only major problem with cursing are people who use it when there's no real need -- they're not angry or in pain, they just have limited imagination and vocabulary. As I told my son when he was a teen... if you've just dropped a hammer on your foot, or someone just cut you off in traffic and nearly caused you to wreck your car, 4 letter words are acceptable -- at home, anyway. Otherwise... there are a LOT of other words.
Of course, we throw around a lot of 4 letter words in the fugee thread... just 'cuz we're playin'.

We've had a little rain since I posted earlier, but not much. Weird.
wahooooooo that's great!!! On the pick your own prizes, I've sometimes been picking those. Think they'd be neat to try. Usually am picking at least a 150w mod though. I mostly only use reos, but have a couple tanks, so would like to have a good mod, and would like to at least try TC at some point, but doubt that I'll go for that as a rule.
I said this to Eskie, think it was him but I think Istick dropped the ball on the mega, not that it's a bad mod, not at all but if your going to make a mega version why would you still limit it to only take 22mm tanks, I'd buy one in a heart beat if my Serpent Mini 25mm could fit on there.
I'm not offended. Sorry you were treated so bad. Wow. That's awful.
I use the f-word if I'm REALLY angry but not directed to people. Oh, and every morning and afternoon driving to and from work. Kidding.
Very pretty!
I only use the f word if I'm frustrated, which doesn't happen very often. I work with 2 guys that throw that word around so much that after hearing it every other word, I normally just shut them off. I can think of better 4 letter words to use in general conversation.
Thanks Atcha! I know it's not top of the line but it's mine and was free so I'm happy, happy, happy!!
I don't have any 25mm tanks. My OCD can't handle the tank overhang.

Loads of mods take a 25mm with no overhang and that was my point with the Pico Mega, they should of made that atty side 3mm more considering the increase in size with that 22650 battery so a 25mm would sit flush. They lost a lot of sales because of that.
Me too......Lynn ...Get it, oh that was so cheesy
I wasn't using a heat sink under those Goblin minis, Deb, they just have bad posts I think. I still haven't stuffed anything down there to fix them, though. I have the one that Coolerat sent that works perfectly (when I get the wicking "just right"), and I've been using that one for now. Later, when I get bored, I'll fiddle with those other ones.
We're lucky, we have excellent water here. Our well goes down into a pristine aquifer and the water is clean and good, and has no impurities in it at all. It's one of the main draws to this place and why we're still here. I know we won't find water this good just anywhere.
I've never used TC, just wattage, and I never thought of that. Sorry.
I forgot almost everyone uses TC now.
He's been dead for 13 years, no worries.I'm not offended. Sorry you were treated so bad. Wow. That's awful.

Jup it was
well poo.....wuz hoping that mighta been it. Glad you have one that works though!
Home time, couldn't get the setups, clean out, more coming on Wednesday so a few days wait. I did try Jimmy's, blew the TFV8 away for flavor, amazing tank, probably the best sub ohm tank on the market right now.
Going to the chippy and I know this is so lazy of me but your here, do you want fish n chips getting ? I'm picking the children up on the way home too, not sure if mom has fed them, hmmm, at this time, probably but you know them, they will still want something haha.

'ear now, sewwy wabbits... do ya still put that U in colour? The one that always blew me away was aluminium (as opposed to our aluminum). There's Brit English and Yankee English and sometimes never the twain shall meet. But usually we learn to understand each other.
What are like lol
I will have mini fish and chips please with a pot of mushy peas. Thank you, see you soon, can't wait to see the kids, I've missed them. Setups Wednesday, that's not too bad then.
We post everything here, funny

I want some too please, and some mushy peas. Never tried those
I know those are diapers, but I thought they still did. Some of it weird, but a lot of it is really cute. I've always wondered if they spell it aluminum, or aluminium.Obviously, they don't say "nappy" anymore.
