I competed in my first Cloud Chucking contest. I lost, but I had a blast!
My local vape shop had their one year anniversary at that particular location today. I got to see a Trick comp as well which was really neat.

Cleaned the Merlin rta and the coil and loaded @Huckleberried Oreo, original. She's the Woman.
Made me laugh. That was my experience last week with FA Kiwi at normal TC levels.
Still never tried n80.installed some @d_b_builders n80 coils in my glacier v2.

It's good to use for wrapping less springy than kanthal or SS shares similar resistence properties to kanthal too plus colours up nicely for the colour shots
Day 3, already about to break...
Trying not to buy anything vape related fro 30 days.. Went through all my juice and have enough juice that I REALLY like to last me until about January, I have enough juice that I like enough to vape until February... Have enough wire and cotton to last me until the end of time....
The shinyitis is burning...

Learned how to rewrap 18650's. As they say necessity is the mother of invention. Had just got some new batteries and an extra for my mom's mod. Was trying to show her how easy it was to swap batteries (prior she'd been charging in the mod). Damn wismec presa with it's slick ass battery cover and no grip points anywhere to pry the door free.
I kept pulling at the cover but my fingers were slipping so I got a firmer grip and pulled harder. The battery cover cut loose and sure as shit, sliced right across the battery and nicked the piss out of the wrap on a brand new 30q. Fml. Thankfully I had the foresight to order some extra wraps with the batteries so had plenty on hand.
Used my heat gun on low (quite a bit hotter than a hair dryer) and good as new in less than 5min. May have helped that I've worked with heat shrink a number of times in the past. After heating the bottom I pressed it against a table top for a minute and let it cool some, did the same with the top to prevent any curling or puckering at the ends. Only thing that shows is a faint line from the creases in the flat folded tubing. Other than that ended up looking like a factory wrap minus the markings.

Thanks yea I didn't think to take pics in a step by step or anything. There are other tutorials out there, video tutorials are probably as well done or better since it gives a more thorough visual aid. This is one I found, pretty much the way I did mine (minus the colorful paper wrap insert for decoration). Video at the bottom.Should write up a guide matejust a few pics would help the masses
They chose to start at the top, I started at the bottom. Heated it and once it shrunk around the bottom of the battery I waved the heat over it a few times to make sure the wrap was soft and pressed it to a wooden table and held it for a few seconds. Then went from the bottom up to the top allowing it to shrink as it went to reduce bubbling. Then repeated the same with the top.
I reused the factory insulator ring and it wasn't adhesive like the replacements I bought. The insulator ring kind of floats and has a chance of shifting so I centered it and pressed the tip of my thumb against the positive terminal through the hole in the insulator ring. That pretty much held it in place while shrinking the wrap up over the edges of the insulator. It wasn't perfectly centered but without doing that the insulator could shift far enough to one side to partially ride on top of the center positive cap and be really off center. No measuring or anything, I just used the wraps I got from IMR as is.
The wrap was almost centered from either end of the battery with just a hair extra overhang for the top (positive end). Only because the precut wraps were just long enough and I didn't want to risk the wrap being too short to securely hold the insulator ring. Not as big of a deal on the bottom since no ring there, so long as there was just enough to curl over the edges of the negative end.
One vid tutorial I watched the person used a small butane torch. Seems pretty risky, I guess in a pinch if feeling adventurous/brave but otherwise I wouldn't personally recommend that. Better to use a hair dryer or heat gun, safer and less chance of blowing the battery. Those pocket torches will burn 1500-2500F and if you're not careful will melt right through heat shrink (not to mention might burn/ignite the battery without extreme care).
I wicked my Big Baby Beast RBA for the first time. Learned that test firing the coils should be done BEFORE putting the cotton in. (Charred cotton is not a pleasant smell.) Then couldn't get the stupid glass off so I have to wait until hubby gets home and takes it off for me before I can use it. Changed the regular coil in one of my Baby Beasts, as well as the bottom gasket/o-ring thingie. Got some goodies in the mail to start DIYing juice.
The bathroom is for vaping.got the Sebone in the mail today slapped my Buddha rda on it. bam! instant vape pleasure. this mod is so kick ass! I'm at work, can't vape

Back in the early days of lab people used to smoke by the fume hood. Know exactly what you're talking about.
I finally finished the little crate shelf and finally organized (somewhat) the pile of vape stuff that I had going.
Now what?
TIME TO START A NEW PILE!!!!

Started mixing my own juice earlier this week. Made 100mls of a damn yummy pistacio and whipped cream, for myself. 240mls of banana nutbread/butterscotch/caramel candy/pistacio/vanilla bean ice cream for the wife. Is it good? Hellifiknow, but she likes it lol.
Was about 3" into making a 16" strand of 28/38 alien wire when my swivels started crapping out
Got a single coil out of it lol.

I was going to say the exact same thing. Awesome!
We have entirely different definitions of "problem".
That's like the BEST and most economical creation EVER for DIY. Well done, Sir.
LOL, so I see you didn't velcro the gallons of PG/VG

Ran out of velcro. Next phase.
Thanks. I have been milling ideas around and fabricating something that would work as I wanted it to and fitting counter space restraints would take a decent chunk of money and substantial man hours. So I decided to try this. No counter space wasted!
IDK about economical. $40 worth of heavy duty velcro. Made my last organizer from scrap boards. Cost like $5 in hardware. But it has since been outgrown.
And, had to make a tester mix with 2 new-to-me flavors to take the setup for a testdrive. Works. Except the 8oz bottle of vg might not hold up. Lot of weight.
2% fa zeppola
2% inw custard
Pretty darn delicious. And would be an amazing "base" to add a bit of fruit, chocolate, or caramel to it.
Clean custard flavor as a shake-n-vape. And the zeppola tastes literally like a lightly sweetened donut. What is not better when it is on a donut?

I cleaned my vape cabinet and organized. I also put my emergency stuff in storage and left out only one fsk mod and two older power mods for work. I have more non fsk mods coming which will be used instead of my fsk mods.
I'm basically done buying mods. I will buy a modfather and that's it. No more. Yes I said no more.
