stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
Just saying hello, everybody!

Nothing in the mail today, but my Brunhilde should be here soon. I have no idea which mod that beauty is going to go on.

I keep forgetting I ordered a Pico Squeeze, lol. It still says “pending” but I’m in no hurry to get it.

Armageddon still in the mystery zone. The vendor basically said today “we will have to see. Wait a few more days. It may have been damaged in transit.” Sigh. Oh well :) NBD.

I hope everyone is well and having a good week, with a nice weekend ahead. :)
I got my lost drip tips without notice,,, they just showed up about 3+ weeks late,,, glad to have them just the same- dont give up,, just stop looking for them :)

    I just thought I'd share with y'all this rba I found. If you have aspire BVC or BDC clearos, you can turn them into RTAs with this Hippovape VSS RBA. This will make your Aspire BVC/BDC clearos vapacolypse ready as well as cheaper to use. I may buy one to see what it's like then buy a few more later when I can. (Gotta buy that nic first, though lol).

    Looks simple to build, in theory, because of the Subtank RBA style deck & trap screws, but it's obviously MUCH smaller.

    According to the measurements on 3Fvape, it's exactly the same of an Aspire BVC coil so it'll be a tiny build but probably much easier than trying to rebuild the factory BVC coils. A vertical coil would be a bit more challenging, of course.

    Available at 3FVape and 2FDeal
    I think I also saw some UK and EU sellers on Google results.
    Would this work in a Nautilus mini? My brother won't stop using his.

    No it won't. This is to use in place of the regular BVC coils, not the nautilus BVC coils. The regular BVC coils are made for Aspire 14mm clearomizers.

    Well if he likes the Nautilus tanks, then that's really all that matter, though. "Upgrading" is only a thing in the vaping world because China vape manufacturers play vapers like a fiddle. In fact, I commend your brother for sticking to what he likes and not giving in by "upgrading" to something he won't like as much.

    If you are worried that he spends too much money on coils, try to get him to rebuild his coils instead of throwing them away. If he's in the USA, he's going to have to learn sooner or later because vape will be highly regulated soon in the USA and prices will be much higher and hardware will probably be harder to even find.

    Some small company did invent a Nautilus RBA a few years back, but it was shyte. Even after 2 revisions they still never got it right. Of course, we've heard that story a million times haven't we lol

    I had to open the box on one of my Solos because I thought they sent me the wrong color. Looked like rainbow on the package, was supposed to be forest green. It's actually green and when the light hits it just right purple. Really think you ladies would dig this one, I sure do.

    Yes and the weight, not too heavy and it's water proof so a leaky tank, no problem LOL Tough little thing :)
    What I love most about my solo is the grip. I never feel like I am going to drop it. Especially in the morning when my hands are at their worst.

    By far the solo is my favorite mod in my stash. Love it.

    So I bought all the aspire atlantis 0.3 coils from vaporhq. Couldn’t resist that price as it’s the lowest I’ve seen. So I have 60 more coils to add to my stash and I really did need more dropins. I love how their website told you if the amount in your cart wasn’t in stock, and the website is updated immediately when they go out of stock. Hate to see vendors go out of business. Good find @JCinFLA ! Thank you!

    I am so aggravated with Aspire® Official Site - Best E Cigarette, Vape, Tank, Mod / Aspire online shopping - Best E Cigarette, Clearomizer, electronic cigarette right now. I bought 8 gaskets and 1 top part for my Triton minis on Black Friday from them using their 25% off code, which was good because the shipping was like $12 so it helped with that. I got to thinking about it and I have 10 triton minis and I need those to last a lifetime and the gaskets go on them after like a year or two so I had better buy more. Luckily their 25% off coupon was good until the 5th of December, so yesterday (the 5th) I went and added like 16 gaskets to my cart but when I got to the checkout, the coupon code was not working, so I immediately emailed them to explain the problem. They replied at 3:37am this morning (the 6th) and just said "Hello Friend, The activity was finished , pls noted ." Well of course it is finished! You waited until the next day to reply to me. smh I sent them an email back to confirm that they were not honoring their own advertisement on their own site... waiting to see what they say. And I gotta say that I hate that they called me "friend". I get the feeling they are not going to honor it, I will end up being forced to leave a negative review in the reviews section of the forum... (I'll update this post if they do honor it, so I am not an ......)
    @Aspire_Tina took care of me! Everything is cool. They were going by Beijing Time, which is odd for a Lucky Draw Thanksgiving sale (a US Only Holiday), but they will mention the time zone in the future. :)

    Ummm so I had a few IPAs tonight and put my one of my married batteries in backwards. Now it's going to charge separately for the first time in it's life. Concern?
    I wouldn't worry about it, most newer chargers charge them individually, so it will still get the same charge it would have if they were in the charger together. And as long as you did not use the charged one in a single battery device in the meantime, they should have the same number of charge cycles so they would still match.

    EDIT: You weren't totally clear on your wording, but I am assuming you when you say you put the battery in backwards, you meant in the charger.... and the charger was a newer one that could detect that and as a result it simply did not charge that battery.

    I had a feeling it was a time zone issue. So glad they took care of you! I love my aspire products that’s for sure.

    Today I have to do more Christmas shopping for me and Mom. Looking for a good air compressor for filling tires for my son from me. Stadium seats for my brother and sis in-law for Mom to give them as well as perfume for sil. I have to mix some juice. Clean house. Annnddd, I want to put together my vape cabinet. 18 days until Christmas...:shock: I’m not ready. I need to get my son a few more things and I’m out of ideas. And I have a lot of gifts to buy for my family. I want to get Dad a new printer. OK I’m feeling a bit panicked. :unsure:

    I promised myself, "Not one more". :(

    So get a matched set :)

    Maybe one of the jump start/power bank/compressors? Something along these lines? Amazon.com: Built-In Air Compressor - Jump Starters / Jump Starters, Battery Chargers & Port...: Automotive

    And maybe look for one with USB ports ;)

    If you're going to get one of those, get one that is Lithium, not Lead Acid. The Lead Acid ones need to be charged like every 3-4 months and if you forget to do it, they end up being garbage. Lithium can hold the charge to like 70% after 2 years.

    Thanks, I got him started. His nic is in my freezer. I figure the axe will fall eventually and he'll either learn to rebuid or he won't be vaping. So I'm thinking about what atomizer would be a good replacement. You're right about new under the sun. I've added some hobby atty's to my collection and none of them to better at vapor texture, throat hit and flavor than the SV rda clones from FT that I stockpiled 4 years ago.
