Much better after a couple hours of sanding. I feel like it needs something protective on it though. It leaves a mark if my finger nail touches it. Before and after

Looks great what grit did you finish it with? For the marks I used mineral oil on mine a couple times and now it's a lot better. Doesn't make it shine or anything just kinda moisturizes it I guess? Idk lol

First hour was 800, 1000, 1500. Then the next hour was 2000 grit. Did the 2000 dry and wet.

It's pretty smooth, it just marks up way easy.

Well come to find out that after 10 plus years of not smoking a stinky I’m sensitive to menthol in my vape juice. After five or six vapes it starts to irritate my throat. Only .5 percent. Oh well, I guess my sister in law will get to enjoy my grape ice. I might try it in the berserker rda first. Maybe less vapor won’t bother me.

@Wtmke1 ....are you getting your orca supplies from Floris?

I go on the site and don't see much at all for buying things separate.
I got the 510s and silver nut from broscience and the strips from Etsy. The only thing I got from Floris was the box,door and button

Yea sorry I was meaning the box door and button.

What is a typical price for all 3 shipped?

I want to get a different color button and door and box to build up.

Anyone have a spare silicone bottle they'd want to sell me. Really don't want to wait on fasttech. Not sure if the exact size but it needs to be short enough to fit an orca. Had the whole shabang planned except the bottle.

So on the spare bottle I have a square green silky but cap touches the positive contact strip. Is that and issue? Never had that happen before. Don't want to short anything out.

Not an issue as long as your battery wrap is good.

Sweet. I wasn't sure if the plate touching the cap would mess it up or not. I keep my wraps tip top. If not I've always got extras. I appreciate it. Now I can finish this thing up.

Tape/rubber band will help ya til a new bottle arrives, even a small isolation where it contacts the bottle... odd that it doesn't fire with both installed though.

Edit: Orca's like 16-17.5mm bottles

Oh is that why I see tape around the strip except where it makes contact? Hmm. Just switched bottles too. Ha ha

I was going to say the same thing. A piece of electrical tape around the strip until the new bottle comes in.

Try replacing your menthol with any of the mints; spearmint, wintergreen, peppermint. Found that helped me, instead of choking on menthol. Since menthol is derived from these it is very similar but using them directly makes it more subtle in flavor and less 'tickling' on a throat.

A Pico squeeze is half the price of a CV.

I note that as well. If not able to replace a mosfet, could just buy new.

Depends? For wicking?

At least it's not Tampons, again.

I just imagine my wife's reaction if she sees a tampon in my vaping bug-out bag...
....It's for emergency wicks, honey, really.....
She'll think the cheese slid off my cracker...

Yeah? Well point out @JuicyLucy first thought of and posted the idea of Tampons for wicks.

I used to keep a small handful of ladies sanitary napkins in a go bag for running as an E.M.T. They come in handy if there's no sterile gauze in a rough situation, they are sterile as well yet the packaging isn't allowed to say that. It's kind of like we're not supposed say vaping causes less risk than cigarettes and might be healthier, if we're in the industry aspects, and I think they'll probably enforce it as liable in civil suits on John Does.

Something to not be said as well, as there's a law on the books which calls discouraging young folks from military service, sedition. I don't discourage but at the same time can say military service didn't work for me. I don't have to encourage. Simply tell young folks to give their choice serious consideration. Service might not be for everyone. Writing/saying that, sedition? I don't know. Last I heard we're allowed opinions and freedom to express them.

What do I know though? The last Bush POTUS swore he would use the Constitution as toilet paper and then burn it. Didn't seem much of anyone cared. Well piss, excuse me I'll digress. Still think that I want to get the percolator insides for a percolator pot I got downstairs. It can set over any source of heat. I don't mind bootstrap coffee, if it comes to that. :)

I was looking for that cool after taste like a grape snow cone. There’s something else out there that is supposed to give the same cool feeling to the juice but not made with menthol. This old brain just can’t remember the name of it.

Ahhh, Roger that, this brain when it visits usually goes all kinds of Charlie Foxtrot on me. Most often I think it is Snafu, due to all the Bohica. After a spell all that probing and ramming minus lube rattles my microprocessor loose in my noggin. My CRS swiftly went to CRAFT.

Hurray for being human. :)

Thanks for the menthol substitutes everyone. I’m writing them down so I’ll actually remember them in the morning and not have to scroll back through the thread looking for them.

You could also put a 90° at the contact point so your strip doesn't come in so far. Looks like have a lot of room play with on the button throw

Just a heads up,if anybody is planning to have a mod printed at Shapeways,they are going to stop using alumide after 5/14,so if you have been planning to get one,i would get it ordered the next few days.

Question. Do Squonk bottles hold flavor/get ghosted? Is there a material that is less subjective to being ghosted with the previous juice?

The one thing about the Pico Squeeze that amazed me more than anything else is the bottle and system. I thought it seemed wonky and wasn't expecting much, it is now my favorite by FAR over silicone bottles and tubing. It squonks perfectly and the recovery/draw back is better than anything else out there IMO. No real mess when removing or inserting the bottle and it just works. I wish more companies would use this same system.

My Luxotic has a leak somewhere behind the metal plate. Opened a ticket with the fine folks over at FastTech, sent them two pictures of the inside of the mod covered in juice. But no, the fucktards want a video? WTF is a video going to show you that pictures can't? :headbang: :gaah:

And if you have some of the kanger bottle stoppers you can keep filled bottles for a red light change out.

Yep. I went through the same issue of wanting a video for a replacement on my entheon clone. Message them through Paypal it sped the process up for me. Only a week and I’ve got a replacement on the way.

Did you bypass the video shenanigans going through PayPal?

Went through that song and dance a few times with them... Why on the 3rd ticket over an item, I sent the pics, the video, explanation and told them there was a dispute on paypal about it...removes at least 7 days of unwanted ticket exchanging.

Hope you find a fix or they do right by you, otherwise spam their for sale threads here imo.

EDIT: Wait thats 3F, disregard
