Dripping or “drysmoking”

If you’re an e-cigarette user you may have, at some point, heard about “dripping” or “drysmoking” your e-cig. I’ve tried it, and I have to say, I’m fairly impressed with the results.

It’s simple to do, but first make sure you have a sealed battery on your e-cig, or this could ruin your batteries. Also, if you admit to drysmoking the thing, you’re going to lose your warranty if you have one, so never admit to having actually done it if you return your e-cig. Anyway, the importance of the sealed battery cannot be overstated. Just look at the end of it, where it plugs into the vaporizer. Either there will be a hole there, open to the interior of the battery — every automatic battery I know of uses an open battery, including Blu e-cigs — or it will be closed off. The Joye 510 is usually closed off, meaning no liquid can get from the atomizer into the battery and totally wreck it.

Now, this step is optional, but if you really want to drysmoke/drip, you should do it. Take a cartridge and remove the batting from it. That’s the white cottony stuff inside that holds the E-juice. You just want to have a mouthpiece, and that’s all.

You can keep the batting if you want (I did), and still drysmoke, but the results may not be as spectacular as if you remove the batting.

Finally, here’s the key part — take the atomizer, turn it upside down, and drip one or two drops of E-juice directly on the atomizer.

Then pop the empty (or full) cartridge on and start vaping. You’ll be surprised at how much more vapor you get, and also how long the couple of drops last on the atomizer (for me, they lasted even longer than a full cartridge sometimes lasts).

Happy vaping!

What the F**K is this ad about?!?!

What the F**K?

Okay. I just ran across this ad while surfing around on IMDB.com. Now, will you please tell me, what does an age-progressed picture of Nick Nolte have to do with refinancing your mortgage? Can someone please explain this to me? Why is this guy in the ad? It looks like Michael Palin running up to the camera on a beach at the beginning of a Monty Python episode.

If anybody can tell me why Methuselah is selling refis, please explain…

Birthday haul…

Well, I hit 35, and my haul this year is: $170 towards my iPhone 4 (that is an awesome present), an Orleans Firebirds hat (they changed their name from Cardinals to Firebirds this year under new ownership),  a book from The Onion that’s a collection of their front pages over the years (another awesome present), and…one other thing that I can’t mention, ha! Oh, and five packs of my Nat Sherman Classic Menthols (which are mint flavored, but they can’t call them Classic Mint anymore because the government forbids it…).

Oh, and if you’re looking for Firebirds info, go to http://www.orleansfirebirds.com. Unfortunately, you can only buy hats at the games themselves.

Oh, the shame…

Well, after ignoring it for about eight months, I signed up again for World of Warcraft. What is wrong with me? Why can’t I stop signing up for MMORPGs? Especially since I spend maybe two hours a day playing the damn things?!!?

Don’t hurt me.

The return of Beavis and Butthead

Beavis & Butthead return...

Yep, you heard me. Beavis and Butthead are returning to MTV with 30 new episodes. Or so the “confirmed” rumor goes.

I might actually turn MTV on for the first time in thirteen years or so…

A good BP joke…

Alright, this ain’t the world’s BEST joke, but it ain’t the world’s WORST, either.

You hear that BP has figured out a way to deal with the oil leak?

They’re going to lower a giant wedding band on top of it; they figure it’ll immediately stop putting out.

Some updates to kiplange.com…

You may have noticed, I’ve been polishing up the blog a little. I’ve overhauled the sidebar as well as adding a rating system for posts and comments.

I’m particularly fond of the rating system. Hopefully it will help people get to the better parts of kiplange.com without thinking too much. 😉

Kip over and out.

Resetting the Logitech Dual Rumble Gamepad

There’s nothing posted in the instructions included with the Logitech Dual Rumble Cordless Gamepad about this, so I felt it would be a good idea to share this information.

If your controller suddenly stops working, or if the red light on it starts blinking, and it will not connect, attempt to reset it. This is done by taking out ONE of the batteries, holding down buttons 5 and 7 (these are the two right-hand huddle buttons) and re-inserting the battery.

Hopes this helps some people out.
