Oddly enough, people who know me now vs the me before I began losing my sight often find it hard to believe I ran in karting races (ethanol-fueled), kept a sweet Ninja motorcycle, which my dad (former step-dad, but he was the man I knew as Dad, versus the mean alcoholic who was only interested in beating on kids & women) hated. He would plead daily for me to at least take my sibling-turn-son to school using my truck but the truck guzzled gas, which is why I tooled around on my bike & it could go places cars/trucks couldn't. Plus, the truck sat a good 2ft or higher off the ground from the base & despite wearing 6in stilettos, I had to pull myself up into the seat but it was nice in winter b/c it had 4wd switch over from inside the cab & it was a stick shift so I could go places w/o landing in a ditch or if I did, I could get out of a ditch easier than others too. I learned early on when I first started riding motorcycles that when you lay down a bike or wipe out for whatever reason, it's easier on the skin in leather than in denim. LOL! Major adrenaline junkie back in the day. Plus, I picked up a lot work as a barmaid in nightclubs & pubs in addition to hustle pool since before I hit my teens. Honestly, I still miss working in a nightclub or pub where most of the clientele are regulars that you get to know, even if I didn't stay in one place for long. (long story...)
There is this new coil thing that is supposed to allow a person to load the end of the wire into the pen-like gadget then after x number of twists, you cut it and it's a ready-made-coil but the set comes with like 3 caps for different types of ohm-rating coils I'm presuming. I'm hoping to get a chance to give it a try first chance I get but I hope to have my fully sighted daughter at home with me to walk me through it so I can do it myself when she's back on campus.
I actually did have my Uwell Crown pour out liquid on me but it was my own idiotic fault b/c I wasn't paying attention. I'm almost ashamed to even bring it up but I had taken the unit apart, cleaned it thoroughly, incl'g using a tissue and/or Q-tip in the base to sop up all the juice that collected inside along with the water I used to rinse it out. After the parts were dry, I came back and put it together just as I took it apart; I'm pretty meticulous in that manner but it's mostly 'blindness survival 101.' and something you figure out pretty quick. I thought I had every step taken care of until I went to add the e-juice then took the unit apart again and that's when I realized I had the new coil sitting on the opposite side of the bathroom sink where I had a small hand towel laid inside the bowl in case anything came loose that shouldn't. And of all freaking things I forget to add: That damned coil! I felt like such an idiot! I MEAN OF ALL THINGS TO FORGET TO PUT BACK IN A TANK? THE COIL! I just kept shaking my head but the whole while thankful I had held it over a sake bowl so it caught all the juice and I didn't lose much. I've never made that mistake since!
The gov't's desire to treat adults as if we are their children just pisses me off to no end! I was the parent of my sibling-turn-son when he was born to this very day and it won't change, not even when my time to cross over begins. I was a better parent than both of them combined... I hate it when some gov't official tries to push me back as if I'm a child in need of a parent when I had crappy parents who didn't provide for my sibling or me; it turned out to be my job including buying groceries to cook, school clothes, supplies, covering field trips, lunch money, etc... & protecting him from our abusive alcoholic birth father & enabler of a birth mother who worked 6-7 nights a week on double shifts to avoid her husband & the beatings she left him to take out on us. so when the gov't attempts to push, I tend to push back and that has gotten me into some hot water with a couple of judges back in the day but I have no regrets with regards to bumping authority; it feels as if I have been doing it my entire life.
I'm like you, I want to learn to make coils but I'll have to start checking into audible ohm meters b/c my daughter won't be an undergrad forever & I have all ideas she will choose to become a tiger for various newspapers and magazines, if not the tiger and the columnist b/c she is obtaining a double major in English & Communications with a minor in photography but her photos, according to the editor at the college newspaper, were by far the best work she'd ever seen, even from 4th year, almost ready to graduate, veteran students who majored in photography. I can't nor should she build a life around me. I want her to travel. I did but I want her to travel much farther than I did and do so without dragging a sibling around with her, which thankfully she won't be. Yet at the same time, I want to keep her safe & protect our rights today so they're not stripped away when she is an adult and truly understands the way the system works and why a civil war between the 98% and the 2%'ers. Believe me, I stay in my district's congress people's face with letters & phone calls to the point where they hate to even hear me calling. LOL!
I am a believer in the fact that if a person can sign up to join the military, be sent into combat areas where they kill other people and hope they make it home, then they should have the right to walk into any pub in this country to buy a damned beer or have a smoke, have a vape, have a toke, or have meaningless sex if that's what they want but also, every person who votes should have the same rights. But, even more so, we should have the right to control our own lives, within reason of course b/c law & order must be maintained, but this bitchfest between the gov't and vapers is over nothing more than the fact that these fat cat millionaire politicians are losing their cash cows and that shouldn't give them the right to come after us all b/c they can't make bank. Perhaps it's time they put their own money where they keep those flapping jaws and keep their g-damned hands out of our pockets and out of the pockets of amazing vendors who care about quality b/c there are so many...
Before I forget, I know the o-rings you mentioned on the Uwell. I will check them again but I do remember feeling them the first time I took it apart b/c it was all new. I try to make sure I check each time I tear them down but sometimes I forget.
Thanks for the advice and the assistance. Truly, it is much appreciated. Oh, and if I can get transportation sometime this week, if we don't get icy crap b/c it's coming here or so the weather people are saying, perhaps the older man at the vape store near me can check the posts to make sure they haven't warped or anything. I heard that can happen on occasion so best safe than sorry. The only thing I hate about the store nearest to me is the fact they don't carry the primary brands that are tried by true by the masses and I don't like guessing with regards to e-liquids or putting high PG in an obvious higher-required VG sub-ohm, if you know what I mean.
