They telemarketing CBD? WTF - must be the low quality crap they can't unload otherwise

Thinking about the same for the damn CBD SPAM email I'm getting. My wife located an herbal and holistic shop just out of town off RT 21. She knows they carry CBD and has said that if I'm good enough, I might get some as a treat. Still waiting to see how that goes. Not sure we need a script here in WV, as it seems to be sold OTC.

ETA:

Re: Cotton discussion, I'm trying out some non-sterile but clean first aid type gauze pads. I like Muji Cotton which can get cheap off Fast Tech, recently bought 180 pad pack of it. Got a little rayon left as well. So far the gauze seems to do well, we'll see.

Reckon I'm out again for a bit. Run 'er slow.

You know I recently acquired an S rabbit clone and was actually surprised at it's performance but hate the door and big square button on it.

Also some know I bought 2 octopus clones from 3f vape and today I decided to try one of them and honestly I have nothing to say but utter garbage..my guess is those silver looking contacts are stainless steel and the 510 center pin is just a loose piece of crap...it barely made vapor on a .34 ohm build on my Haku.

Now, maybe some have seen i started a thread about upgrading the octopus clone with high end guts and i think i may cancelled that as I've done something a little different.

The guts from the S rabbit has made it's way to the octopus with only needing a slight reaming of the 510 hole and you know what?...this mod now kicks ass AND looks good..all for under $25...I even managed to get a silicone bottle in there to replace the cheap tiny hard plastic square bottle....The only thing I need to fix is slotting the contact off the 510 a little bit more so it sits back farther...I have maybe a two millimeters of button throw before it makes contact...I'd like a little bit more...the button stays nice and firm not jiggling around as well.

That's awesome.. You should do a step by step guide, I think lots of disgruntled Pulse owners would like to convert theirs (me included :)

Thankyou . As soon as you get the plastic out it's just a case of making the contact strip. Didn't take any photos as I was going though. But anything you want to know I more than happy to help :)

What did you do to modify the button?

Thanks

Love my Luxotic, except for the fact it leaks from somewhere in the 510. Will getting another one or two at some point.
The one I got the positive wire had broke at the solder and kept shorting out. Will say though compared to other companies wismec handled the warranty as good as I could of hoped for.

You went straight to Wismec? The fuckery at FastTech knows no bounds, and still have no resolution. Might have to try direct through Wismec.

I wanted to keep the button looking the same on the outside so I dremeled the back of the button off (mooch had already taken one apart so I had an idea what to expect). The button itself is insulated and has a small solid pin connected to it, I'm just using this to push the contact strip. Works well. The worst bit was reshaping the top of the squonk bottle . I used 1.2mm copper but if you used .5 or .6mm copper it would be a lot easier. Anything else or anymore pictures you want just let me know. Granted it's a bit of work but I like to make things my own :)

I think I want black/ss for Furyan, but ultem is growing on me.

I think MAP still works best on some things. Good to know about the 10%er.

So has anyone seen or heard of the Caiman RDA,
They now have a bf version ,many Airflow plugs single coil,
looks like a mini tank by
Vapesytems RU / Caiman BF RDA,
I have the BY-KA v7 RTA by them very similar deck and Design to the RDA, interchangeable Airflow plugs,
Not cheap , but certainly looks nice , restrictive DTL or MTL,

Ohh and in case anyone got the impression that I am anti CBD. I am not. Just anti getting harassed to buy CBD Gummi Bears or the like....
Well if you are feeling super generous you can order them and have them shipped to me and I will be your bestest friend! :stars2:

? on battery charge for single batt mech squonker.
If after 7 hrs/8-9ml's w/.24Ω single coil, is 3.66v - 3.78v good? Or average for one of the better cells?

I charge mine to 4.2V 25R and get about 10 ml worth of juice with a .34 coil.
I charge mine to 4.2v also. Higher resitance = longer between charges, but...what's your voltage when you put it on charger?

Actually I have a bit of a problem with CBD being put into candy form....
Besides the harrasment.
No worries.

Likely the gummies or 'candy form' is being done due to the ease of making them from standard foodie gelatin.

Edibles have over a dozen forms (that I know of), from lozenges to gum, gummies, cannabutter, brownies, cookies, teas, etc.

Something like a lozenge or gummie takes a little while to dissolve in your mouth and is absorbed more easily via the blood vessels in the tongue, and they are made also because of that the bio-availability of CBD is higher when absorbed thu the mouth than if it has to pass thru the stomach, then gets filtered by your liver and kidneys, thus the desire for such things.

Never seen packaging that reminded me of kiddie candies for these as the MMJ realm seems to avoid the nonsense of how some vape juice looks like it is marketed to children,

It's possible that I could, like that Pico 2.
Don't know about bottle system or button placement.

I wonder if the Kanger bottles would fit in the Pico2?
and could it have a flush battery cap if using 18650?
I don't know Kanger bottles. Same? with rod? Cut the rod?
Getting the top flush w/18650 doesn't look doable.

If you cut the rod the bottle that comes with it will not work as it seals like the old pico bottles do.

Maybe that Pico 2 rod/bottle system isn't so bad, since the original is so well liked?
