  • I used to have these issues and I’m sorry to say you are, in fact, using it wrong.

    If you find your coils burning out regularly when the tank is not empty, it’s most likely because you haven’t properly set the power on your vape. My coils have the appropriate power printed on them, and they only ever burn out when I forget to fill the tank. My current coil has been in operation for 7 months, I have 25785 puffs on it (the vape counts them). Before this vape, I didn’t care about setting the power and my coils would constantly burn out and I had the same frustration as you.

    My current vape also does not leak, despite the fact that I manually replaced the seals when I broke the glass tank (so it’s not just that the factory made it well).

    As for the liquide, yeah. Personally I buy base and flavor in the mail and mix them myself, but that’s probably also illegal for you.

    Be careful with disposables. Their nicotine levels are way higher than advertised, because they want to build the addiction to their product.












  • SNMP does what you want. You just need a good monitoring solution that’s not as involved as Prometheus+grafana (I feel you, I’ve been there)

    I really enjoy PRTG, but it’s way too expensive for a home lab, still throwing it out there if you feel like you have money to burn.

    I hear good word about libreNMS, it’s next on my list when my PRTG licence runs out.

    Be warned that monitoring is ultimately a fickle thing; what you don’t write in yaml config for grafana, you get to dig through obscure SNMP libs to find out (though I find that’s easier for me, ymmv) for other tools.

    I recommend against: nagios (I like it but if you hate Prometheus it’s definitely not for you), checkmk (throw checkmk into the sun please it just fucking sucks), cacti (NO!), solar winds (why?)

    if you feel like you want to become a datacenter admin: zabbix scales very very well, both in performance and ease of admin against hundreds of servers, but it’s overkill for a home lab, and it can get you lost in configs for hours.
