RainstormZA's Vape and DIY Diary

[RainstormZA]

will send you a small peace of the wire just to see if you like it. waiting for mine

Oh that is so kind of you. Yes I'd like a sample piece to try. I have another question for you, @Moerse Rooikat. Can this wire be dry burned before wicking?

@Cornelius that's very kind of you but rather give it to someone who really needs it.

On another note, I'm starting to notice something - when switching flavours, I lose taste for a bit before it comes back. What could be causing it?

Happy belated Birthday @RainstormZA , glad to see you had a wonderful time.

 

[RainstormZA]

Starting to think this may be a dud notch coil.. I think I'll wrap a new coil and see if it's not better then

 

[Faiyaz Cheulkar]

Belated happy birthday @RainstormZA

 

[RainstormZA]

@Faiyaz Cheulkar thank you.

May have been a dud coil as it was reading at 0.26. Now I'm getting 0.35 with a new one

It's helping a lot now. More flavour and more clouds

Just for @Hooked

 

[RainstormZA]

Boom baby!

I just purchased four sets of coils from @smilelykumeenit and my new Zeus Dual RTA is on its way from China in courtesy of @Moerse Rooikat doing a group buy.

I need to start organising myself some wicking cotton.

I always swore by Streaky Cotton, until I tried Cotton Bacon Prime (not CBv2). That stuff wicks like crazy.

Interesting, thanks for sharing that tip with me @aktorsyl. However, PW streaky cotton is R79 and 10ml concentrates are R14 to R29 from Flavourworld at the moment.

Did some stuff in the workshop today



No this isn't an outdated vaping device. In the progress of making a bedside lamp. Still needs a few things which I can only get this week

Haha thanks. It's a steampunk type. Need to find a ballgate valve with a small red handle.

Game has these large globes that I want for the lamp and I probably will get the rest from there too.


I'm still not entirely sure if big globes will work with the lamp stand. So I will take it with me and check against it.

These were what gave me inspiration

[Hooked]

WOW @RainstormZA I can't believe you do all that stuff yourself! I find just replacing an ordinary globe a challenge! You're amazing, woman!

Actually I had a lil help from dad on bonding the joints. I've never used a blowtorch before and it made me very nervous. Hahahahahaha.

Blowtorch heats up the ends, with flux and then bonded with soldering wire while it's still steaming hot.

Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha that's classic.

That will work in my case as my dad locks the rifle away and they expect me to protect myself while they go away for weeks or months on my own. I made a big fuss over safety because I can't hear. Now they bring in trusted people to help me watch the farm.

@RainstormZA You can't hear? If you don't mind my asking, are you completely deaf?

 

[RainstormZA]

@RainstormZA You can't hear? If you don't mind my asking, are you completely deaf?

Yes, born deaf. Without my hearing aid, I can't hear anything. I'm used to people asking questions so I don't really mind.

Whew! It must be a boon though - if people are talking utter BS you can just remove your hearing aid! Seriously though, how fortunate that we have Internet. Without the written word life must be quite difficult for someone who is deaf.
