    Sometimes I feel like I talk too much on here... then I compare my post count to others.

    So... random question. You guys ever have a device that keeps firing after the button is released? Actually I don't even think it's the device, I've been using that for a week straight. I think it's the RBA?!? I take an inhale, release button, then hear a *crack... crack* of the coil. SO strange. Toptank mini kit, I had a different tank/RBA on it yesterday (which I accidentally turned onto TC and then inhaled at 75W at 400 degrees... ouch, could I have burned the insulators? What are those exactly?) and it wasn't doing that.

    Frustrating vape day for me. The one that keeps "firing" after I release the button came with the small holes on the RBA's, isn't wicking at all. So those two RBA's are useless to me with 100% VG juice. Old RBA bit the dust before I ever even used it. So basically I have six toptank/subtanks that came with 6 RBA's and only 3 of them are useful to me. My other filled tank with an RBA I think has too much cotton in it so I need to wick that one again.

    Sorry I just needed to vent. I don't have a single non dry hitting RBA out of the three working one's that I have, and the only thing that I can get a decent vape off of is the 0.5 OCC packaged coil. Not feeling very good about the device I stocked up on the most of at this very moment... about to throw my Griffin 25 back together and start blowing through juice again, at least it worked great.

    I would clean them all and test at low watts. Sometimes when I think a coil is dead, after cleaning and changing mods/watts it works just fine.

    As for continuing to fire, yes some do. I have read about it and my coiless and the smok rba both do it. They also have 'ramp up' time so don't work until it is primed. Takes getting used to. As long as it stops firing within a few secs, probably fine. I had a mech a few years back that got stuck in firing mode and scared heo hooey out of me. So much for touch sensor buttons. Dangerous, imo.

    Forgot to say, the info on my coiless instructs you to push button a few seconds before the draw and release the button a few seconds before draw ends, if that makes sense.

    Fine :(

    Lol. Obviously not. I talk a lot but have learnt lots.
    Too much perhaps :blink:

    Maybe I should direct some of this interest to something else.
    Mah, another time.

    Another subject. Had to get ID to buy a friend cigarettes today!!! Like I'm his dad.

    He's 28, I'm 27. Lol

    Just wait until you get older. Then it becomes a compliment.

    I get that but annoying when the lady serving is barely old enough to dish cigs out.

    Saying that. If you look under 25 in this country, they'll ask for ID.

    I believe that is a law in the states and some stores have policies to ask regardless of how old you look. I am over 40 and have been asked for ID for smokes and alcohol both in recent years.

    Thanks, I had no idea. I get asked all the time for my ID when I buy wine, etc. I always thought it was just them following tightened rules - now I have learned that it is because I look less than 25 :cool::) - guess I will have to stop claiming 29 plus shipping and handling then... :w00t::lol:

    Really. So no compliment there then. Just rules.
    If my 58 year old parents buy a beer the clerk will ask for ID,
    then laugh and say I'm only kidding :sneaky:

    In a light hearted manner but hey...

    I think when you reach that age I suppose a benefit is not caring what young kids at the supermarket say.
