1000!!!

This message will be my 1000'th post. I wanted it to be a thank you to all of ECF.. from the Lurking stage, to the helping others, it has all been a great experience. I'm not one for forums, but something about the vaping community kept me coming back here. I am proud to be a part of it, and glad I can help people in return.

To all that read this.. (unless you're a spammer)..... thank you.  

So I purchased a piece of garbage 25mm Kennedy one from Fastech. I spent practically nothing on it so I'm not too upset.

My question is: the negitive post is already spinning. I can just use a pair of pliers to hold the pin in place while I screw down the post. But is a spinning negitive post safe to use?  

For some reason I can not post a new thread in the new members forum. It always says insufficient privileges. I can post a new threat anywhere else and respond to threads there. Does anyone know how to fix it?  

Want that new gear, but have 1000 other mods you haven't used yet?

Looks great on paper but just not sure.

So, well let's talk about it.
We can talk you out of it, or into it if that's you're need. We can save money or spend yours.  

I just received my first order from the US. They only ship via USPS so I had no choice of carrier. I ordered the Big Dripper V2 from Grand Vapor Station. It cost $65 and shipping was $35. USPS ships here and passed over to Phlippine Post which passes thru the greedy customs guys here. They opened the package and they insisted that it was some kind of turbo add on for a race car and taxed me 6000 pesos, that is about $136. More than what I paid for my atty and shipping combined. That is 15% of what they think the value of the item is. I really tried to argue and explain to them what it was but they wouldn't even believe what wsa printed in the Invoice. They lay their argument on the banner that says "Don't Drip and Drive" on the box and from there concluded that it was some kind of exotic and expensive car part. After customs I was charged VAT, Value Added Tax, of 4000 pesos, that's about $90. My atty ended up costing me around $300. The funny thing is based on their computation the atty is worth more than $1000.  

Hi
I just got a Xtar VC2s charger for my 21700 batteries (Samsung 40T).
Chose that charger also because it "charges at safe low current".

When it charges 2 batteries, it's at about 1000 mAh for each battery. All good.
But when charging only one battery, it charges it at 2000 mAh. Hmm?

I assume 2000 mAh is still "safe".. But won't that reduce lifespan on the battery?

The charger manual says "when the power supply is insufficient, the charger will reduce the charge current correspondingly".
So maybe I should get a usb power supply with like 1000 mAh output?

I will only be charging one battery at a time, and prefer charging slowly if that gives more safety and lifespan.

But I don't know if charging at 2000 mAh is really an issue..  

I got an authentic yep RDA off rbavaporstore.com. The screws that go into the posts are so long that, with 24 gauge in the post, the screw won't start to screw into place. I got 28ga to fit and I can screw them down but 24 gauge doesn't work. Is there anything I can do to change this?

I was thinking I could sand the screws down or maybe drill the post holes bigger so that the kanthol has more room to be tightened down with the screws

Thanks for any help  

We should petition SmokeyJoe to offer one of those awesome prizes for the 15,000,000th post to the 223,000 member (if it happens BEFORE the 15,000,000th post!!!!)

Only 68 more members to go!!!!!  

Just a cool video about mods and tanks... really didn't know where to post this but it is very interesting:
 

My apologies for asking about this yet again. I was provided a link to a website that tracks your shipment in much greater detail than the canada post website. I have once again lost the website and cant seem to find it on the forum. Can someone post it here?
