Plans for the week ahead

Oh and my plans for the week.

I need to rebuild everything. If I get a chance to do it is another story all together.
 
I need to widen bores and taper ends on drip tips that came wth my aqua clone to fit on my other atties.
 
i read that a thin layer of any lubricant ie silicone paste, vaseline or dielectric grease etc will allow a more complete connection and negated arcing to an extent. Buy thin layer wipe on wipe off.
 
@Gambit, just so you know, i was under the impression that the new Reo Gold firing pins (as part of the sub ohm kitted Reos) are not meant to be sanded. Just make sure before you do that.

That is correct but they do need to be cleaned, if the battery has carbon build up and is pitting the firing pin is probably suffering from a bit of carbon build up to. Sanding it will strip off the gold plating so my go to is brasso on an earbud. I have no doubt that this will eventually take the gold plating off to, but only after a long while.

Thanks for bringing that up @Silver
 
The canoe from FT arrived and i will hopefully have my smurfs today :D

Thanks @Gazzacpt
I sometimes rub my firing pin with a white eraser
I also have occasionally taken an earbud with some of that contact cleaner spray and just wiped it a bit.
Hard to see the firing pin properly, but mine do not look pitted at this stage
Then again, I am not going below about 0.5 ohms, so not using too much power.
 
Right - its Monday morning and I don't feel like doing work right now ;-)

Here are my vape plans for this week
  • Thumper needs more power - I was trying something with a new 28g coil in my Blackbird setup. I did it @Yiannaki style, blowtorch and all. The vape is smooth and crisp - but needs more power and throat hit. I need to return to the thumper I know. Even Yiannaki will attest to the calmer vape - which he tried yesterday.
  • Juice Review - I need to continue making notes on the juice I am reviewing now - and hopefully I can wrap that review up this week - the review queue has filled up and at the rate I am going, it will take me about a year to finish reviewing what I would like to ;-)
  • Recoil the Nuppin - the coil in there has been in for quite a while. I feel like making it a little bit more powerful and experimenting a lung hit in it with a diluted down tobacco juice...
I think I will leave it there. There are so many other things on the vape "To Do" list but they will have to wait.

Now while you in lazy mode @Silver :D, kindly explain "Thumper" for me?

Aah - sorry @johan

Thumper is my Reo Grand with the Black door. It has 18 mg Blackbird in it most of the time.
Its my device that gives me a nice thump whenever I need it.

Thanks, I thought it was some super duper new coil style :rolleyes:.
 
My week will be off to a slow start and maybe a frenzy at the end of the week if the Nuppins arrive in Florida today and I get them to ship them off by courier today!

Also on the agenda is to build coils and wicks on the new Derringers and continue my newly found dripper experience.

Finalise the look and feel of the engraving of Camila's door with @hands.

Finalise engraving of some REO buttons with @hands! I so love the button he did for Avril... Lily, Kiera and old Avril all want one too now!

Do one or two Rob's ramblings when I think of something to say.

Oh yes! Find a small chuck for my Dremel and start opening holes in my Hornets!
 
I need to do a full clean on my reo's.

After seeing the difference that a little grease on the battery that I got at the MVC meet does, I now need to clean all the contacts and batteries and apply the grease.
 
Item 1 on my list has been completed.

Thumper is back!! Rough and rocking. Vicious and delicious!!!

Built my trusty 30g paracoil setup. 5 double wraps around 1.8mm. 0.63 ohms. Coil high up.

Mmm... It's lovely. Crisp yet strong. It's so good to be back again. Blackbird juice is legendary for this palate!

The coil is nothing too special or too neat. I straightened the wire in the drill before wrapping. Wraps are reasonably close but it's not the neatest. I wicked with organic cotton. My favorite for the tobaccoes.

Say hi to thumper ;-)

@Yiannaki , its kicking like never before.
I am writing the specs of this coil down and keeping it safe with the photo
This is my Blackbird setup, let me not lead myself astray again ;-)
 
Lol @free3dom

On the topic of thumper - its the next morning and i am pleased to report that thumper is still..... Thumping ;-)

I usually do not go near any hardcore big throat hit setups first thing in the morning. Usually its my Evod1 to ease me into the day with my morning coffee.

But this morning i couldnt resist just a quick toot or two. Glorious.

Have i mentioned that Blackbird is just so good ;-)
Down to my last two bottles of 18mg. I better start planning replenishments now - otherwise i will have a Code Red like Rob Fisher.

Indeed it is. I will keep this coil in and put in a fesh battery before I see you next - i want you to try it!

And all those hardcore 24g 0.1 ohm whatever massive cloud blower junkies - you need to try this. You will be humbled by 30g wire ;-) grin
