I discovered something about my Tobeco clone today.

I've had wicking issues from day 1, but thought it was my build or my 50/50 juice. Every now and then I would crack open the top quickly to get air bubbles. I got to thinking maybe something was up with my juice channels, so I ran a piece of wire down each one. Sure enough, 3 of them were not completely cleaned...had a small shaving almost like the drill was off by .001". Cleaned and re-assembled and now it works like I expected it to. Next time I change wick, I may run a micro drill bit down each one just to make sure they are completely clear.

Just thought I would post this in case anybody else had insufficient juice flow. Now I just do 1-2 turns and let it rip.

I always check every juice hole and air hole on every new atomizer I build. I've never found anything in the many Tobecos I've built (12+). I do find shavings in some of the no-name ones I've built.

My Tobeco was kind of gritty and had a good-sized metal flake in it - maybe 1/16-3/32". Works fine though. Gave it a full disassemble/reassemble and cleaning last night and it's so far today been ok running SS316L on an Evic VTC Mini in TC mode. (I've been getting the Evic "wispy vape after sleep" problem recently.) <Fingers crossed>

I fixed the anemic vape after sleep by getting rid of the eVic VTC Mini. The WeeLeaf Pico would be a good fix for it. ;) :D

I ordered a Mini Volt thinking it would be a great stealth vape with a KM3 on top.

If you guys want a really good vape, try a DNA200/75 :thumbs:
My GEM lives on the Mini Volt. Excellent stealth vape.

The HCigar VT75 should be here tomorrow.

I was debating black or red. I ended up ordering a red one.

I was tempted by that VT75 but I already have 2 DNA75's and 5 DNA200's.

Looks like I am going to be down to 1 kayfun mini v3 plus, only ever broke 1 glass tank in 3 and half years of vaping, but dropped my kayfun plus glass while cleaning, but didn't smash so thought I was safe, but once I got the tank put together, see I have hairline crack down the whole side of the tank, and of course fasttech doesn't sell extras for it :(

Yea. I've been looking for replacement glass for that RTA all over creation and no luck. May have to break down and buy some PC tubing and make my own. [emoji35]


FYI: The Goblin Mini glass replacement fits the "Plus" v3.. it's just a tad longer, I ran one for awhile on mine..it may even still be on one of em :)

Yep, think I'll get one if those DNA75 mods. Waiting for reviews, but so far I like the SMY one with the single 18650. I don't need the 26650.

Which one(s) do you have and, if you have more than one type, which one do you like best and why?

I bought a Hana v200 and Vaporshark DNA200. I built the rest. The VS DNA200 is pretty nice and there's a 15% off sale now so it's $170 (code: sharkweek15).
