    I just used the kanthal that came with it and ordered more kanthal from FT. I haven't bought or tried SS mesh.
    I just bought a black Profile Unity rta and extra mesh! :w00t: I bought kanthal. It looks so easy to use the mesh. I think I can do the wicking. I'm so excited!

    My order of nic is in the mail and set to arrive tomorrow. Now I'm good to somewhere between 86 and 100. It might even arrive already frozen because we are due for 6" of snow tomorrow. Indiana and Washington can KMA. Yesterday I replaced the wicks and some coils in all my tanks. My first new juice recipes in a couple of years are starting to come together. It doesn't get much better than this.

    Yesterday I took a trip to our local mini supermarket. On the way in there was woman wearing a mask. First one I've seen in real life since CV arrived. She was blocking the way through trying to get her cart out. Problem was she was talking on the phone, and she had an antiseptic sheet on the handle of the cart so her skin didn't have to touch it. With the phone in her ear and trying to maneuver to cart with one hand she kept pulling the cart out and trying to turn it into the aisle, in and out, and she didn't care how many people were waiting for her to get her **** together. I confess I aimed my cart at the gap and went for it. Earned me a dirty look. I didn't care though.

    Years? Liters?

    That's the one last liter I didn't really need but I got spooked by all the Bills running around. 86 is how old I'll be when I run out, based on my worst case calculation. Not that I expect to be around and vaping that long.

    My stockpile is based on 90 yo with no decrease in consumption [emoji3]

    For eleaf pico family fans, their internal battery rdta kit, $20: Eleaf iStick Pico RDTA 75W Box Mod Kit 2300mAh

    I never realized that was an internal batt mod. Looks like an 18650 mod but I guess what I thought was the battery cap is actually the fire button?

    EDIT: If anyone's interested in that or anything else at VS, try code Mouse10 for 10% off. Was working 3 days ago or so.

    @Boobsley @b.m. @hittman Do y'all use the kanthal or SS mesh sheets?
    I use the Kanthal,although i don't ever use temp control,so it works fine for me.Do they have premade SS strips available now?I haven't really looked around,but i always preferred SS on my regular wire coils

    I can't remember,do you use rayon?If so,pull a full strip and a half from another,and that will give you a perfect wick every time,or at least it does for me haha.The premade mesh from Wotofo is so easy to use anyone could probably do it.
    If you like the Profile,and like the kanthal mesh,then you can get 50 mesh strips from Ft for $14.95,or there is another brand called Wikedy,those are 50 for $5.99,i haven't tried those ones yet,i'm going to add a pack to my next order,but i already have 100 of the Wotofo mesh strips from grabbing the 50 packs during Ft sales.

    Again I’m still on my first one going on 4 months.
    That's one thing i really like about the mesh,it seems like 1 will last a very long time,every time i dry burn mine,it looks almost new again,i think my main one is probably going on 8 months or more,and still cleans up perfect every time.

    I mentioned this a couple times on this forum and to others in PMs, but never got around to taking/posting pics.

    Here's how I modified the Ijoy Exo-S RBA to work in the Eleaf Ello tank. This is the regular Ello tank, I don't know anything about the other Ello tanks like the T, Duro, Vate, etc.

    I got these tanks with my Pico 21700 Kits and the Pico 25 kits. The RBA fits the tank with 2ml or 4ml glass. The modification would be the same regardless.

    The reason for the modification - You can't use the exo-s rba in the Ello as-is because the oring seal at the bottom of the glass completely blocks the wick holes on the RBA. You'd be vaping burnt wick because the Ello's oring/seal hugs the rba very snuggly right at or right above the RBA's wick holes. You'd be licky to get a drop of juice to them even with high PG juices.

    The tool I used to make my new wick holes is a manual nibbler tool, however on my next rba mod I'm going to try it with a dremmel instead and make the holes a bit different. But using the nibbler tool for this project is easy. Downside is the end result isn't very pretty lol. But functional. The nibbler cuts by squeezing so it has a tendency to bend the the material it's cutting a bit (however this didn't affect the threading). I'll be taking a Dremmel to this one at some point to smooth the edges out a bit & make it look better.

    Top/inner view with the original wick holes packed tight with cotton. I did this to plug them up just in case some juice does get to the holes, which would result in
    eliquid eventually flooding the RBA and leaking out of the airflow since I'm no longer going to be wicking down to the stock wick holes...

    Pic with the chamber screwed on. You can see how low the wick holes sit. If I were to install the oring/seal the wick holes would completely cover and seal-up the wick holes (sorry, forgot to take a pic with the oring/seal on it)...

    Here's the chamber screwed on with my square wick holes I made with my nibbler tool. Not great looking, but it does the job. You can see how the nibbler does bend the metal a bit, but it hasn't affected the chamber's ability to screw onto the deck...

    3iy35uS.jpg



    With the RBA wicked up and the tank assembled (2ml glass). Notice how even the bottom my my own wick holes are covered by the tank's oring/seal. The RBA's stock wick holes are covered up completely...

    WIbjtfl.jpg


    With 4ml glass (chimney extension) to show how well the chimney threads screw into the top of the RBA chamber - seals very well...

    92w75vo.jpg


    Been vaping on this for weeks now without issue.

    When I do this on the next RBA with a dremmel, I'm going to make the wick holes about 1/2 to 3/4 the size that my nibbler tool makes.

    No other modifications were made. You just make one wick hole on each side if the chamber. But you have to make sure you make the holes to line up with where the coil holes are going to be. So just screw the chamber on the deck, mark the chamber where the original wick holes are below it, then take the chamber off and make your new wick holes where you marked the chamber.

    Pretty easy. Just make sure you wash your chamber real good after you make your holes, regardless of what method you use to make the holes.

    When you install the RBA in the tank, you have to remove the bottom tank oring/seal, screw in the RBA, put the bottom tank oring/seal on then put your tank together, in that order. You can't put the RBA into the tank with the oring/seal in place...it won't fit in that way.

    Now if there were a oring/seal from another 25mm tank I could replace the original Ello seal, one that would not go the whole way up to the RBA, that would be best as no modding would be needed since the juice would be able to freely get to the stock wick holes on the RBA. I bet there's an oring/seal on a tank out there that would work, but finding it would be a real :censored:

    They do make the SS mesh but I picked up the kanthal. I got the Wotofo brand since it was on sale. But if I really like this profile unity rta I may pick up another one with more nexmesh.

    I have rayon, cotton bacon, and the firebolt cotton that Rip Trippers recommends with the Profile unity rta.

    8 months? WOW! That's impressive. The mesh I picked up may be enough for a long time. I got 20 plus whatever comes with the profile unity rta. The mesh looks so easy to install.
