Home Depot For Vaping Supplies?

Anyone got a good solution for atomizer seats to store them on. Im gonna take a look at my local home depot see if i can come up with something.

This what they look like if you were to get from vape store.(yes there cheap but so am i )
Atomizer Seats - 101 Vape

Im open to your ideas i really dont care what it looks like long as it stands an atomizer up. I got mine proped up against stuff so anything better than that system of storage.  

Hi All, I brought this topic up a long time ago and basically procrastinated about doing it until recently. With folks preparing for the future I thought it might be helpful to offer a recommendation for adding a temperature sensor to a freezer when storing NIC. With proposed taxes and impending mail restrictions, stored NIC is/will be a very important item since it will not be easily replaced. If it goes bad, then that's it.
I wanted a way to be alerted of failure and this is it.
Installation was easy. Just drilled a hole through the back of the freezer, inserted the sensor lead and plugged any extra space in the hole with "non-hardening duct seal compound" found at my local Home Depot.
The sensors communicate remotely with a WIFI gateway and will email me should the temperature rise above a specified temperature.
There are many to choose from, some are cheap and some not. I purchased a professional grade by "Monnit" because they have a longer range for communications between sensors and the gateway as well as brand recognition.
Pretty easy to setup and the monitoring service is free provided all sensors are on the same home network. I did a good amount of research and learned to just stay away from systems that don't use sensor leads but instead the whole sensor goes in the freezer. Basically the batteries fail within weeks instead of years.
Hope this is helpful.  

After a decade of vaping, I've given up nicotine altogether.

Now, I'm looking for the best place to sell my ProVari 2.5 (Satin).

It's in perfect condition, a beautiful, reliable mod if there ever was one. I also have the extender, so it can take 18490s or 18650s.

I've also got a House of Hybrids Kabuki tank (USA made surgical stainless ((thanks GeekyGeezer for correcting me)) tank of a tank), a bag of coils, and four legit AW 18490 batteries that should have plenty of life left in them.

Any ideas? I'd like to find it a good home, maybe a nice farm family  

So I'm on my drive home the other day, minding my own business vaping out of my smok m80 mod with a freemax starre 0.25 ohm on it. About 20 mins into my drive I start to feel a hole burning into the side of my head as if I'm getting the death glare from my wife so I turn to look and theres this lady in another car just staring at me. I give a little wave and continue driving assuming shes just confused by the amount of smoke I'm producing. Nope. She drives along side of me for a few blocks and flags me to open my window, so as to not be too rude, I opened my window. She stares at me and asks me what I'm doing .. obviously driving home from work. "No not that, why are you doing drugs on the road?" Hah .. drugs .. kids and their crazy-- wait what? So I try to explain to her that it's vaping. Its not smoking, I'm not doing drugs .. I'm vaping. "Well whatever it is, I'm sure you cant be doing this vaping drug. Just a courtesy warning to you, I've phoned the police and given them your license plate no. and the road we're on."


Really ...? Did you really just phone the police? Yep, she did. 2 blocks from my home and I get pulled over. Cop comes up to my window and looks at me and says "Son, have you been doing anything I should know about?" So I show him my mod, looks at it and laughs. "You know the Arctic tank is better right?" Man .. I just started laughing as he pulled out his Sigelei. I've never laughed that hard over vaping to this day.

Just thought I'd share my story. Not everyone with the law is against vaping.  

So I picked up a 'spade bit' set for my drill and a block of wood at a home depot, went to town and made a little vape station:



In case anyone is interested here's what I used:

Spade bit set 1.5 inch sq. block of wood (pine?) (they cut a yard into three pieces) random piece of what I'm calling 'molding' to beautify the thing a touch A drill Just line up the spade bits with your devices to see which bits to use. Roughly measure how deep you will need to go into the wood so as not to go through the other side. Spade bits have a long pointy tip that protrudes beyond the cylinder they create, so using a different bit set would probably be ideal, this is a cheap/easy way to do it. With this setup you will have little indents in the center of each hole, but it doesn't bother me.

I still need to sand it, glue on the 'molding', and stain it. Should look nice after. Also, for the eleaf istick (50W) on the right, I had to drill 3 times with the same bit. The hole isn't perfect but some sanding should help. Mark your wood with pencil before drilling (measure twice cut once!), and/or do what I did and get 3 pieces in case you make a mistake (or want to expand later!).

Of course you could buy something like this, but this way you can have it be custom to whatever devices you happen to own. Cheap, efficient, space saving, easy to do (seriously, took me like 5 min to measure and 15 min to drill the holes).

Here's the spade bit set:

It rolls up nicely.

Here's the 'molding' with one of the un-drilled blocks:


I'll also note I have no experience doing anything like this, just kinda had a thought at the hardware store = )

Update

I sanded, stained, and poly-ed. It's not perfect but I'm happy:


He she is all loaded up:
 

I ordered some unflavored juice and some flavorings from MBV and explained in a comment what it was for," Please ship as soon as possible. My uncle has had a stroke and has been in the hospital rehabbing for three weeks. He goes home March 6, 2015 and i want to make sure he has supplies on hand to make the switch over to vaping as easy as I can make ity for him. Thanks Guys." Here is their letter back.... ​
 

Just a quick heads up. I took my wife and son out to eat at Longhorn Steakhouse to celebrate Mothers Day today. We had a wonderful meal and some good laughs. We were there for about an hour and 20 minutes. During that time, there were no rude or obnoxious hipsters blowing clouds on anyone in the restaurant.

We left and went to Brusters for dessert. We sat outside at the tables and had Ice Cream. Only Ice Cream...no 2nd hand vapor from some rude, selfish idiots blowing clouds and ruining vaping for everybody. I looked everywhere....they were obviously hiding or taking a break from disturbing little old ladies or making kids cry. But, I know they were there....somewhere.

We got home and I packed a bag to head out of town for a few days of building destroying. I hit the road for a 4.5 hour road trip. I stopped at a Home Depot for a couple things I needed for this job. No Cloud Chasers stinking up the place. I thought to myself "how do they stay a step ahead of me?".

Stopped at a gas station...nothing.

I actually did stop at a Walmart. Walmart is apparently a target rich environment for catching the worst of the worst who blast Serial Killa in yo face. I knew this was going to be it. My heart was racing, I tell ya!
And then it happened...

I was hit from behind by a lady in a little electric shopping hotrod. She apologized profusely....I accepted.

Yet, no Cloud Chasers ruining my shopping experience.

So, as of the moment I type this, it seems like all of our fellow vapers are actually being courteous, respectable and they're using common sense. At least the ones in my path, anyway.

Thank you and keep up the good work!  

I ordered two of these batteries from FastTech. The cheap price and high capacity (without having a mod or some awkward huge battery) attracted me to them. Some two weeks later they show up...

I have two Puff King chargers that came with starter kits we bought at a B&M store. We've been using them with Tripl3 eGo batteries, one Puff King battery (and another Puff King battery, which was taken back and exchanged for another eGo-T battery, which broke), and so far no problems screwing any batteries in. These two from FT show up however and neither will screw into one Puff King charger, but they both did into the other (same charger, down to the model number and everything). Now, one battery from FT still screws in, but the other doesn't.

I took the non screwing in battery to a local B&M store and the guy there was able to screw it into one of their chargers. He handed it to me, and I unscrewed it, screwed it back in, unscrewed it again, and then neither of us could screw it in again. Now I have one battery from FT that will screw into one of my chargers, but not the other. The other battery will charge, but it has to just like sit in the charger and hope the connection stays okay for it to charge. I still have no problems screwing any of my other batteries into either charger, just these ones from FT. Also, it's worth mentioning that the FT batteries never seemed to screw in right... it always felt weird and finicky getting it to go in.

What's up with these batteries? They claim to be eGo/510 threaded, just like my other batteries. They look just like my other batteries too, except they won't screw in right...  

Hello everyone.

Now that I'm stuck at home I have been observing some things that I never realised before.

Where I am now it has been very cold (0°C and a bit lower sometimes) and my wicking is behaving differently.

When in normal daily routine/home, my atomisers are usually warmer when I give them first pulls of the day or pulls after some longer inactivity time. House or weather is warmer, because the setup was in my pocket or car, etc.

Now because the atomisers are reaching much lower temperatures, I have to be carefull on first pulls and avoid some chain vaping before they heat a bit (overall heating liquid included). If I forget and give some sequence pulls there's a big risk of dry hits.

I vape 70/30 or 80/20 vg/pg and it's very noticeable that the wicking speed changes a lot with temperature. I know the atomisers I'm using inside-out and know the wicking is perfect for my normal use. This is new to me.

Never realised how much liquid temperature influences wicking speed. This could explain a great number of people having problems with fast burned coils or fast burning cotton. Not only how you wick it matters but also we have to take into account environmental variables and vaping habits/timings.

Any thoughts on this?

Stay safe everyone.  

A friend of mine who smoked for 30 years wanted me to help her get set up for something reliable for vapor. She's tried in the past with eGO setups and didn't like it. Leaks, frustration, broken glass tanks, etc.

I rebuild a lot, so what I use isn't ideal for someone totally new to the game.

I suggested an iStick 30 and subtank mini. Seems to be a decent balance of cost, power, and option to rebuild in the future. She doesn't want external batteries, chargers, or any other expensive hassle.

Any of you try to ease someone into vaping recently with all the new higher power hardware out? What worked well, what didn't work well?
