I was upstairs, last night, in guest room (no we didn't have a fight - I was organizing stuff including had several plastic baskets of very old vaping stuff; lots into trash). Was using Stardust on Buzz Pro (ordered DH an Infinity Pro for his Mini Vivi Novas so wanted to test out things for his IP, using his cast off Startdust) and coil blew. Didn't want to come downstairs and get the Bubs all riled up so popped on a barely used but cleaned 1.8 510 atty. I rarely use premades any more since RBAs ...... Found a really strong juice in cooler, where I store juices, and .......................... where's the flavor!!!!????!!!!!
RBAs certainly spoil the premade experience!!!!

I've had the ERA on my VV Grand for 2 full days of work, and still i'm impressed! It does the bottom feeding a bit better than the Reomizer, in that I'm not leaving juice in the 510 connection on the Reo anymore...even after 2 full days of sqwonking the threaded connection is by & large dry.
Now, I am in no way getting those crazy clouds like the 2 online videos show. The vapor production is very similar to the reomizer.
Inserting a coil & getting the ERA up & running was simple & the torched look is sweet. The blue-ish hue should go perfect with the Serenity Gear cover that I ordered.
The taste thus far is what I dig the most. There is zero taste, except for the heather's heavenly liquids...which i'm slurping down.
This was $80 spent the right way.

Of course coil, watts, etc will effect vapor, but don't take you tube too seriously, its amazing what the right lighting with a little lung inhale will do for you; more important is how it feels on the way in. You can't fake that!
Can someone fill me in on the "torched ERA". What's the difference between that and the SS?
There's really no difference other than the fact that the cover on the torched one is heated to produce various colors and hues, I you get a torched ERA and decide you don't care for the multi-colors you can easily polish them out.
Conversely if you have a SS ERA you can 'torch' it by heating with a hot flame. Feisty Alice has about six-thousand photos posted around here of different RBA's that she's torched.
Other than being torched there is no difference between it and a SS ERA.

See in Lounge post #41211 and several pictures on down a few posts.

I had so much fun torching SS RBAs I'm looking around in cabinets and drawers for small SS things to torch. I have six big refill cans of butane, plenty to play with, but most of my small things are silver, gold, aluminum or anodized aluminum; none suitable for torching.

I wonder if some of the metal premade carto/attys would be suitable for torching? Gonna have to pull a few out to see. Probably not cartos, though, as the stuffing will probably melt.

If you lived close by you could do my refrigerator and ovens...

Now that would certainly use up all those refill cans and more.Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
How does one go about polishing the torch effect off of an ERA? I have a torched one and as I suspected, would prefer to polish it back to plain SS.
Thanks!
Thanks!
The colour is caused by a very thin surface layer being oxidized by the heat...it can be removed easily with a buffing wheel on a bench grinder with some polishing compound (use white), but to do it by hand...whew, you'll be at that for a while
I think the insulation in the 510 connection would melt too. And I can't think of a way to remove it in a way that it could be put back in

I think it was TennDave who first reported removing the torching by polishing. He didn't specify if he did it by hand or mechanical assist. Some REOnauts have hand polished tumbled REOs to mirror finish. It is a labor of much time and love. I suspect polishing the torched off of ERA won't be nearly as time/labor intensive.

You can put the era on a 510 battery (or cover the threads with some tape) and get it on a drill chuck, then just place a little polishing compound on a rag and spin the era on it. The torching color will be gone right away.
