On the Dolphin, I got it from dna Vapor, regular price is $39, I had a $10 coupon from somewhere, which put it more in my range. I really don't like paying more than 20-25 for a tank, which should include a couple heads, spare glass... you know, some of the goodies. :) I'm not sure how long that coupon code is good, but if you're seriously looking at it, I'll dig it up for ya. :)

Can you wrap your own cotton for the dolphin, or do you have to buy it prewrapped?
It comes with 3 extra pre-rolled cotton thingies and 2 heads. On the back of the box, it tells you how to change the cotton (with pictures :)). There's this plastic thing the cotton is rolled onto, sort of like the paper cone in cotton candy, with a bit of wire wrapped around the middle to hold it on I guess. You're supposed to slide the cotton onto the ceramic, then pull out the plastic thing. Seems to me it should be fairly simple to just wind some more cotton around that plastic and secure it with a bit of wire.

I agree! I still have several Protanks around, but it's getting REALLY hard finding the heads for them any more. So now I don't want to buy anything that doesn't either come with the RBA head included (preferred) or have one available separately.

Having said that, I have yet to use the RBA head in any of my Subtanks. :p I have them, just being lazy and using the pre-made coils. I do use the RBA in my Crown tanks and my TFV4. The Crowns came with the RBA, and as a bonus they already have a coil installed! :thumbs: All you have to do is stuff a bit of cotton in there. The TFV4 on the other hand, was such a PITA to get a wick/coil into, if it ever needs to be done again it just might "accidentally" go flying out the window instead! :lol:

I'm old school with my tanks. I use the aspires. Noting fancy. I used to get all the new stuff found these and have just stuck to it. The coils are very affordable and last a long time. I still haven't bought a new pv. I do desperately need some Truly though. And I'm going to try some Grogg, never had it yet. The cider I got was really good.

I did end up going to tops tonight. I lost .2 pound. That's fine, I'm not really trying to lose more but stay in the same 5 pound range.

I'm feeling a lot better tonight than earlier today. Hoping for a good day tomorrow. I'm hungry for the first time today so guess I'll go find something to eat.

I'm glad you liked the Cider Tiff! It's one of my favorites. Mr. V always has a tank of it.

Bamrz, I use the RBA's for my subtanks, they are super easy and work well. I have no patience for things that I have to putz with, so most of my RBA's end up given away.

Apollo just rang the bells I have hanging on the door and then went and got his leash off the chair. :shock: He's only 12 weeks old! :banana:

Hooray!!!!!
:lol: looking at some of the new tanks on the market. I'd have to buy a bigger mod in order to use them.:lol:

And the downside would be? :D

Good morning. Looks like we might be spared more rain today. I have a list a mile long to work on today since I didn't get anything done yesterday while I slept. I'Ve put a small dent in it already. Lately I have to really take advantage of the days that I feel good because I never know when it's going to hit.

So, how is everyone this morning?
