My project was on the regular Ello tank. I think I mentioned that on my post with my pics.

Looking at pictures of some of the Ello tanks, I have reason to believe it would work with some of those, but I don't have those tanks to try it out.

I never even heard of the Ello Mini XL until now. Anything mini is probably going to have a problem with the EXO-S RBA because the RBA is a few millimeters wider than the factory coils that fit these tanks.

For instance, the NRG SE tank, which is kinda like a mini version of the NRG tank, will not take the EXO-S RBA because the threads are too recessed on the base of the tank and the RBA cannot be thread into the base as a result. The factory coils fit because they fit into the recessed area. But the RBA is too wide so it hits the ledge of the recess and therefore cannot be threaded in. But I have plans to mill the ledge of the recess on the NRG SE tank base a millimeter or two to see if I can get the RBA to fit. I have a few of the NRG SE tanks which are useless to me since I refuse to spend money on more factory coils.

So looking at pics of the Ello Mini EX, it appears that it has the same problem as the NRG SE in that it has a ledge above the recessed threads that are too narrow and therefore the EXO-S RBA would never be able to fit into that recessed area.

There's no way anything but the factory coils are going to fit in there. Not wide enough. Just like the NRG SE tanks...

I think that NRG tank is the one that came with my SWAG 80w,yeah i enjoyed that one and it seemed to work ok.
But then my friend who owns the vape shop had a sale on the Wasp Nano RTA,told me to get one fast because he had only 2 left.
Was a bit reluctant because of the whole coil/wick thing but he said not to worry about it,just drop in and he would coil it for me and he would teach me how to wick it,you know because coils last way longer than cotton.
Wasn't going to go to his shop just for the wicking hehe.

And WOW!!!
The change in flavor was astounding,i mean WOW!!
I still don't like or enjoy the whole coil/wick thing,and if there was a way to get the same results with a product that has a replaceable coil like the Innokin Zlide for example i would just use that.

Guess im stuck with the coil part,wicking im getting to be a pro about it but coils? yeah i struggle...

Incorrectly, like this?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Is it just me or that pic reminds me of the last scene in beettlejuice when he gets his head shrunken?

The Swag v1 kit comes with the NRG SE, not the NRG. The NRG would never fit on the Swag v1 because the Swag v1's battery cap limits you to 22mm tanks (just like the original Pico 75W & Pico Mega). The NRG is a 25+mm tank.

Ah ok,my bad then i got them confused,well they still have NR at the beginning so my slip up can be forgiven

The vape product names are a mess, if you ask me. Very easy to get confused and they make it really hard to remember everything once you think you have it all memorized.

@UncleJunkle Thanks- yea I tried for too long- just not happening.

If you have some EXO-s RBAs but don't have other tanks to use them in, here's a list of tanks that I and others have found the RBA to work/fit in.

Just an update for my Fasttech order. They couldn't get the wireless mouse, so we've been talking back and fourth, and a replacement wired mouse will be substituted. It was just a few cents more than the wireless, but they let that slide, either because of such a small difference, or the situation. Everything has been shown ready to ship for the last day or two, but there is an understandable delay. I'll keep you guys informed so you know how the situation is going.

And just something to keep in mind...The COVID-19 virus can live on substances from as little as a few hours, up to five days for substances like glass and ceramic. So even if it does get shipped, it will take longer than that for it to get to me, so any virus would be dead by the time it arrives. Still, I'm wiping things down as I get them out of an abundance of precaution. Also, be patient with vendors. Remember, they're suffering as well during a quarrantine.

Replying to my post to keep it updated... May 9th... 2 weeks since Fasttech shipped it and I don't think it still has left China. Here's the tracking info from 17track...

That's the last info. I'm still being overly patient. I know it will take a long time.. not expecting it for a month or two.

Ouch @NealBJr hope you get your order soon.

Latest update i got was this:

HKG / shipment departed from airport of origin country 2020-05-07 19:32

Not sure if it comes directly to Spain,think it might stop in Belgium first,saw a logo of Belgium Post in one of the tracking sites.
But at least it seems it is out of China,that is a at least something.

cheers

This should tell you what's happening with China Post e-packets.
If your package is stuck at the bottom of the pile, expect a long wait:

Some great deals here for things like vaporesso ccells, Voopoo Drag nano and loads more. Shipping to Canada is ridiculous but the steals + hardware and some juice were well worth it for me

Clearance Hardware

I thought this would be the place to ask.

Is there any good website to order online here in Europe?

Don't think ill be ordering from China anymore and the spanish site i use is lacking in some items so i was wondering if there is maybe like a good trusty site over perhaps in the Uk or somewhere else with a good amount of various vaping related items?

Sourcemore has the Geek Vape Aegis Solo mods on sale for $28.70 + S/H. They still have Black, Red, Orange, Gunmetal, and Green in stock. The Blue and Blue/Green are on Pre-Order.

They also have other GV items and others in their Hot Sale section.

I ordered a Solo and Zlide and some other stuff from Sourcemore on May 1. No cheap shipping options were available, only DHL at $26. The order was delivered yesterday the 8th by yellow truck, not the slow handoff to usps method.

My first Zlide. I popped in one of the 1.6 coils from Lightfire and filled. All of you Zlide fans were right! Less than 24 hours with it, but I'm impressed. I took a chance on getting a few boxes of coils from Lightfire since there were other things I wanted from them anyway. I thought I'd be waiting a long time for the tank to try the coils, but Sourcemore came through, just a day after LF.

Also - There are a few other "Vape" sites based in the EU you might want to search for vendors that are more local too . . .

WOW - You did get your order from Sourcemore quickly!

I'm glad you really like the Zlide so far and the 1.6ohm coils from LFD. I'm one of the people who actually prefers the Zenith tanks (4mL, 3mL, and 2mL) over the Zlide...but, I still have a Zlide in rotation and more of them in the stash. Couldn't pass them up when Mt Baker Vapor had them on Clearance in February, especially since several others I find/buy stuff for like them.

Upon opening 2 of the boxes of Z Coils I just got last Saturday, and installing/using 1 from each box...it seems so far that they ARE the newly produced ones afterall. Not only is the box different (name, graphics, info., etc.), but the individual little packets with each coil in one...are different, too. Been vaping with them non-stop since Monday, and they're both working as well as the original Zenith coils did so far. It'll be awhile before I'll know if they last as long or not, but so far they're great.

I'm so glad the coils are working out so far, that's awesome.

In an oddly uhshiny move I never tried a Zilde, the Zenith was always plenty good enough for me, LOVE that tank,
