    I'll be holding my V1s up to the light, and doing much more squinting, than you will! lol

    Are you done stocking up?

    I didn't expect one to last that long, so I slowly built up the stock to 9 packs. That's when I figured the coils were going to outlast the tanks. One tip, be gentle with the silicone insulator. That appears to be the weakest link in CLR longevity. Even though I don't use the Ti & Ni coils that...

    Perfect timing. I just ordered 3 of the ego one megas about an hour ago. I'm a big fan of the Tron-S tanks, with the CLR coils, and wanted a few more. After 3 weeks waiting, Fasttech couldn't get restocked on the Trons, so I exchanged them for Tube atties. Today I saw they had the ego one megas...

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    After a lengthy delay my Tube atties are finally in town. Should be delivered Tuesday. This order started on 7/24, with some Tron-S tanks. Fasttech couldn't get the Trons from their supplier, so after 3 weeks, I exchanged the Trons for the Tubes. They spent 5 or 6 days in Bejing, showing...

    Make sure the positive pin on the bottom is tight (it's threaded). If it loosened up, it lets the positive part of the deck wobble a little, and it touches the negative side. Same thing happened to me once. Hopefully that's all it is.

    That's awesome, great job! I knew you could do it. You also did it on a deck that scared a lot of people away. LOL. Keep experimenting with the wick. I use rayon in it too. I wet the wick with a little juice, before tucking it in the wick channels. I'm not sure how to explain this verbally, so...

    Excellent! Thanks for the link! Last time I looked, they were discontinued or out of stock. I ordered 2.

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    My first vape diploma! Actually, my hat is off to those that are able to rebuild the original Aspire BVC coils. I only tried the VVTF deck after a dozen failed attempts at the originals!

    I must be the only one that's had good luck with the VVTF V2 micro-deck. Ease?....Nope. It will tax your patience, for sure. Grace?... I'm 6 ft 240#, grace was never in my vocabulary. Lack of profanity?... Aww c'mon, you can't take all the fun out of it. I grew up being Dad's helper &...

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    Just got an alert from FT, that my four Tube Atomizers shipped today. :thumbs: This started about a month ago, with the Tron-S tanks that FT couldn't get restocked. Did an exchange and got the Tubes instead. The last of my stock up orders finally on it's way.

    I love vaping, but can't stand the ringing...

    25 years working at an airport did it for me. Vaping didn't seem make it any worse.

    I'm 62, and have approx 20 years worth, stashed (at my present .4 mg level). Considering some of nicotine's beneficial qualities, helping focus, memory, Parkinson's etc. I may want to stay on nicotine, as an old fart's maintenance drug. Nicotine, the Wonder Drug? | DiscoverMagazine.com

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    Add top fill, inexpensive, lots of interchangeable tank options (like the Kayfun). It hit all my check boxes. How do you find the top fill / juice flow control? Any flooding or leakage problems? Thanks

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    I had an order of three Tron-S tanks that FT has had problems getting. Their supplier kept pushing the date back. In the back of my mind I had been keeping my eyes open for a plan B exchange. I saw this mini review and checked it out. The reviews at FT are very positive, and there's a link there...

    Oh, and another thing I forgot to mention. Unlike the rubber grommet / center pin builds, on some dinky coils, the coil leads are secured with screws. When it's time, just pull the old wick, dry burn, and re-wick. No melted rubber insulator.

    Yeah, that video is not much help, when it comes to the coil itself. Maybe they didn't want to scare potential customers off..lol.

    Are you done stocking up?

    I use horizontal coils, with rayon. I hope the image works correctly, and is in focus enough. I took the shot looking down through my magnified desk lamp. The positive lead goes down through the hole right below the air hole in the left (top) view. The screw to secure the positive is at the...

    Are you done stocking up?

    The primary tanks I stocked up on were the Ehpro Kayfun clones, Tron-S (with CLR coils), and some STMs. I'm happy that the VVTF RBA allowed me to put a few Naut Minis in the mix as well, without having to stock up on the BVCs.

    Are you done stocking up?

    I felt like I was at a bit of a crossroad with my Naut Mini. It's one of my favorites. I didn't want to stock up on coils, but hated knowing that once my 5 pack stash was depleted, the Mini would be going on the shelf. I took a gamble on a VVTF RBA. I liked it so much, I ordered 3 more, and 2...
