Most of the people I know don't mix weed and ecigs since the fluid can clog the coils if it hasn't been treated right. Of course, it's not especially difficult to do right, but that's an entirely different forum "Step one for replacing the headlights, remove loving everything" The Door Frame fucked around with this message at 12:55 on Sep 23, 2014 |

Well, what do you expect when they put a corset on the Jetta's innards and shoved a beetle body on top? E: I'm on mobile and may have the wrong car, but I'm still angry about it

Let's play count the Nissan engines! 4 engines in this picture Vehicle dropped off with a blown head gasket, and awful lower end knock. Installed a used engine, began knocking on startup.  Demand a second engine from junkyard under their parts/labor warranty, it arrives full of chocolate milk. Customer gave up and approved a Jasper reman, which is hiding under than van. This stupid thing needs to leave. Days in shop: 20 On the other side of the shop, Ford 6.4L Powerstroke Camshaft Failure Extravaganza!  End of the day edit: Not a cam failure, cylinder #8 is out of round, needs a new block. Pictures tomorrow! heyou fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Sep 23, 2014 |

Don't forget there is some kind of plastic manifold for coolant in there, which will crack for no reason at all. Over the course of a couple months we put two new ones in my boss's daughter's car, and the newest one started leaking again within 3 months. Eventually she gave up putting water in it every day and stopped driving it.

Sir_Substance posted:I'm not an expert, but I gather it's variable. Depends on the mechanism and how much power you put through it. Bingo, the material/positioning of the wick, the airflow into the atomizer, the width of the tubes, voltage of the battery and resistance of the coil all contribute to the thickness/smoothness of the "smoke". The smoke is atomized propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavorings and psychoactive substance of choice There are some people who just like the feeling of smoke and have nothing in their PG/VG solution for whatever incomprehensible reason. Emerging studies show that these produce worrying amounts of formaldehyde out of the PG and VG at those temperatures, dubious studies aside, we really don't know the long term effects of them are besides, "gently caress ton safer than real cigarettes" but likely not great for you EKDS5k posted:Don't forget there is some kind of plastic manifold for coolant in there, which will crack for no reason at all.

It's a rather personable machine with a lot of soul, and with enough problems over its life span that it's a real character builder Wait, nevermind, it looks like a mid 00's "New Beetle" instead of the actual newer ones. It should be set on fire, rolled of a cliff into a trash compactor and then the metal cube that comes out needs to be dropped onto another New Beetle, which also will be set alight and pushed into the same quarry ad nauseum until we end up with a Katamari of hideous, unreliable poo poo boxes that used to make the xD look subtle and nuanced. But at least it was one of maybe 3 compact diesels in the American market.... maybe it should just be on fire and rolled into a compactor instead of into the quarry first The Door Frame fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Sep 24, 2014 |

There are actually reports of people getting type 2 diabetes from inhaling too much e-cig vapor, as it contains so much loving sugar that you are basically constantly inhaling a soda.

Smoking in restaurants, offices, etc is illegal in most of TX these days (and has been for years). The city I work in actually amended that to include e-cigs/vapes/"smokeless nicotine products" this year. I actually kind of like the smell of some e-cigs.

I love documentaries about engineering disasters and whatnot. I'm not aware of any shows about them other than modern marvels specials, mayday, and seconds from disaster. I could have sworn there were other ones that went into the causes of building failures, ship sinkings, etc.

 You and me both.Netflix is fantastic for this kind of stuff - both failure and non-failure. Also, Top Gear's Richard Hammond briefly had a show about building engineering. Not failures, but it's still a very interesting show.

some texas redneck posted:Yeah those shows annoy the gently caress out of me but how did you find my porn collection These are the thoughts that kept me out of the really good schools. It's mostly in the way the (British over here) announcer intones that line. He puts just enough emphasis on the word deep that it sounds oddly creepy. Otherwise, those shows are excellent at turning complex structrual engineering and physics lessons into a form understandable by Joe Average.

This is probably horseshit. Did a quick search and all anecdotal evidence pointa to no it did not.. peraon was probably a fat gently caress who drinks tons of soda. Therea a thread for vaping so im not going to go into spesifics as to why I think its poo poo.. but even heavy vapers probably vape the equiv or 4tbs of liquid a day, if it was pure sugar that poo poo wouldnt give you type 2.

I know these cars will never see the road and are just to joyride on his farm, but HOLY gently caress some of these "fixes" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-K80cCar20 I remember seeing one of his videos years ago before he got kicked off youtube where he welded a hole in a leaky gas tank with it still on the car and gas still in it.

Holy poo poo davidsfarm is back! He removed/made private a poo poo ton of his videos years ago. I can't find the video where he runs over an oldsmobile with a 3800 still running, then cuts it in half and rides around just the front, then runs it out of oil at max throttle (that takes quite a few minutes).

I believe he is the guy who was internet famous for awhile for letting teens drive cars and trucks like crazy people on his property. The cops tried telling him to gently caress off, which he ignored. Then, evidence surfaced that he was having sexual contact with some of the young teen girls that came along. Classy dude.

Not even on the molecular level is there a single molecule of sugar You'd also be much more likely to get pneumonia than diabetes from inhaling sugar on a regular basis, but whatever E: thinking about it, you could probably get chemical pneumonia from vaping from sun rise to sunset, but the nicotine would likely kill you first. As of yet there are no known health risks to ecigs, aside from the risks that come with inhaling not air The Door Frame fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Sep 24, 2014 |
