ANYONE HAVE A SPARE LATE MODEL COOLANT RESERVOIR (AND POSSIBLE RAD CAP)?

So i did the "blow into the small hose" test:

-ZERO air through hose. completely blocked
-pulled the hose off completely and blew through the hose alone...completely CLEAR!
-put my mouth up to the reservoir nipple and blew (not something i'll tell my grandkids)
....completely blocked.

so it sounds like my hose is clear but reservoir is clogged and will not allow any coolant to move freely via the radiator nipple.

I got one that I bought from buttchug. 15 bucks and it's yours.

[Deathtoll]

do want

A few people in the office smoke these in buildings now. Nobody has said anything yet, I wonder what the rules are for these electronic type things.

[E30_Pare]

There trying to pass some laws restricting it to the same cig smoking laws.

It really is only water vapor & a bit of nicotine. Pretty much a humidifier lol. Any normal person wouldn't know the difference & would just look at you funny.

Tanner, try and unclog the port with a small pick. It should break free any corrosion built up in there. There is a metal sleeve that you can pull out that may solve the issue as well

I want a pin vape so I can fit in with all the non smokers. :D

It does a bit. Water is what cools the engine. Coolant prevents water from freezing and corrosion in the system.

that's why i mentioned distilled water, not tap or hose water. it doesn't get to freezing points here, so that's not an issue. and with distilled water, there's no additives or chemicals in the water. distilled water is distilled water. neutral PH and no mater how many times it is boiled or steamed, it is still distilled water. this is why all race orgs say to use "distilled" water only.

Correct, however I have had several classic car guys tell me that since it never freezes here to do all water and a full jug of water wetter to prevent corrosion/rust, because water cools at a cooler temp than coolant...ive never tried it, however they swear by it, and by classic car guys im talking about the guys that restore and build cars for the peterson

yup, water wetter definitely helps but not really necessary as long as you've used distilled water. not like you'll be keeping that coolant in there forever, it is a maintenance item and must be flushed every 4 years iirc.

SoCal general vape smokers lounge?

[E30_Pare]

We need flavor reviews.

[ethrtyiS]

lol, i'm going to start making my own flavors. also, if you have an rba, go to your local michaels or similar and get yourself some 100% cotton yarn for a few bucks and then hit up your local hardware store for kanthal wire for a few bucks for a few yards. done.

[dvck]

I don't even wanna know, I like my flavors from a Capri sun pouch.

[E30_Pare]

haha was just looking at getting an genesis style RBA.
