Storm trooper.. or... tuxedo if you like.
I like it. For some reason, it reminds me of Pat Boone.

so.. im vaping on it.. only thing i don't like so far is that the stock coil is reading .6 and not .5...

i suppose i can live with that...
I'm dying to know how you think the vape on the Subtank Mini V2 with vertical OCC (which I haven't tried) stacks up against some of your other gear. Can you make some objective comparisons for us?

BTW, I did try sticking a Super tank coil in my wife's Aspire Triton (while she's napping) and it works perfectly, in case anyone was curious.

so I fixed my problem with the m50 giving me the weak battery problems when the battery reaches about 55% :thumb:
That's good news. What happened? Did you have to remove the plating from the battery terminals like I heard from others? People really seem to love their m50s once they get them running right.

I had to pull the top plate off and tighten those bits down, or up i guess i should say to be vertically correct, but yeah it was a few turns short of just falling off, I couldn't believe it. I read about it once before but I was to worried about messing something up, but yesterday was day one of whatever is going around now and it just annoyed me so much I finally did it.

so after a day of using the vertical occ kanger .5 ohm coil...

it took a while to break in.. like really most of a day of use. last night it started hitting really nice though. very smooth pulls. very tasty too, close to a darkhorse rda for example. vapor production is nice, but not as much as the afore mentioned rda. that is mostly due to airflow.

i wish it had more airflow. (the tank) but it is sufficient.. just is a bit loud to stealth vape at my desk.. you can definitely hear the air moving.. even though it is not a whistle. the heat that was bothering me at the drip tip has stopped. think it was part of the coil breaking in tbh.

its without a doubt the best pre-made coil ive used, but i haven't used pre-made coils since protanks.. not saying much i know.

So a friend of mine sent me a mysterious tracking number, she wouldn't tell me anything, so all I know is it's coming from china. I guess with all the bad luck I've been running lately things are starting to turn around *fingers crossed* or atleast it's a small break from it

ooooo...It's like Christmas. I hope it's something good.

As an aside:

I'm not a huge Windows fanboi. I refused to even try Windows and stuck with DOS 6.22 (with DRVSPACE) until Windows 98SE and have been critical of all their releases since, but I've gotta say I'm truly impressed with 10. It's designed with efficient use of resources paramount (so it can run on phones). About time. That Windows was an unnecessary resource hog (it still is, but it's easy enough to rein in) was one of my biggest objections. I'm not too concerned with security because I experienced those issues first hand early on and developed good habits since. The seamless integration of syncing Apps between my Desktop and my Android phone is silky smooth. OneDrive and OneNote are particularly useful. For instance, as I sit here at my keyboard, if I think of something we need from the store, I just pop open OneNote and add it to my Grocery Shopping List and when I go to the store later and open OneNote on my phone there it is, like magic. Or if I want to check the list of ingredients for say, Gary's Crock-Pot Chili, it's right there too...in my recipe notebook. Super easy. I never thought I would actually recommend any version of Windows to anyone, but I might have to reverse policy on this one. Caveat per my Grandpa: "Never keep all your eggs in one basket!"

Yeah, I'm working on 10 right now, it's soooo laggy. I'm gonna try updating from the exe on the site, then try a fresh start if that doesn't change anything. I've had a problem with defender since I hopped on 8, that nothing has fixed, so a fresh start might just have to do...

Odd. It does come with a bunch of stuff enabled and eating up bandwidth by default that needs to be or is at least safe to be turned off. After that, at least for me, it is much faster than either 7 or 8 were, but I have a 50+ Mbps connection, so maybe that has something to do with it. Hard to say. *Shrugs* Lots of different things it could be, I guess. That's one thing I do hate about a new OS. Sometimes, it can take days to track down an issue and solve it.

yeah, did a reset using the exe from the site, that fixed the lag. Now I just need to set everything back to how I had it :facepalm:
Glad to hear it. I had to do the same thing the first day, for other reasons. Widows 10 installed a new driver for my router that somehow changed its address and reset the passcode to factory presets. Of course, even if I had been able to figure out the address (I didn't), I couldn't remember the passcode and had thrown away the set-up disk. I almost gave up and bought a new router, but decided to bypass my router, go direct through the modem and search the internet for a solution. Luckily, for me, smart people with the same router had the same problem and figured it out. People can say what they want about all the disinformation on the internet, but it has pulled my rear out of the fire several times. Have I told y'all the story about my television? Oh well, I'm not doing anything; gather 'round and I'll tell it again.

It was a dark and stormy night and the pall of an expired warranty hung in the air as the picture on the screen flicked out...

Well, my Ni200 Super Tank coils came in and I'm anxious to try them out now that I'm sure they'll fit in either my Morph tank or my wife's Aspire Triton, but, much like Gary's wife, my wife isn't interested in temperature control or anything else that makes things more fiddly or complicated and the original Kanthal Super Tank coil I have in my Morph tank is still going strong. I'm guessing I've ran about 60ml @ 25watts through it so far. Will better judgement win the day or will curiosity get the best of me? It's a toss up.
