You guys are shaming me to finally finish the DNA60 low tank I started way back when. It's been sitting on my bench, enclosure cut to length, tank cut out made, back wall for the tank cutout made, shelf for the 510 made, just waiting for me to "get 'er done".

I did build another 75C yesterday, the mod from hell. The first thing that went wrong was that I swapped the negative and positive contacts on the battery sled and that makes a BIG difference. Then, I went to do a test assembly and found out there was no fire button for the mod, an AlpineTec GL2. So, I ended up using my vertical lathe, AKA drill press, to spin down a piece of 1/2" aluminum rod stock. It took some slow, careful, filing to get the length inside, and outside, just right but it looks OK and works perfectly.

Well Bill I found some Ni200 Clapton on fast Tech, same style and wire sizes as the other.
$6.65 Authentic PilotVape Ni200 Nickel Coiled Heating Wire for Rebuildable Atomizers - 0.4mm*0.2mm*5m / 26/32 AWG at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
I've got a roll coming, hopefully in 2-3 weeks I'll let you know how it compares.

Also found this kit to make the Merlin RTA a shorty, I like the smaller atty's and mods. I was actually looking at ordering the shorter Merlin MTL $24.36 Authentic Augvape Merlin MTL RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 3ml / 304 stainless steel + glass / 22mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping and during my search I stumbled across this kit by pure chance.
$3.94 Replacement Glass Tank + Top Cap for Augvape Merlin Mini RTA Atomizer - stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
While it's replacement parts for the Merlin Mini, feedback say's this also works to make the Merlin RTA's shorter, I checked the glass diameter and it's the same for the RTA and the Mini so it's looking promising.

I received my two Geekvape Frenzys today. When connected to computer the computer recognizes a device being connected. While there is no software available the device appears capable of upgrade, ect.

Based on my experience with the Aegis, if they upgrade the firmware the new file will recognize the device and install itself very easily.

I sprang for a couple of Aromamizer Supreme V2s, added liquid capacity kits, single coil decks and a couple of "Intake" tanks from Augvape since the new version of the Merlin has such a low liquid capacity. And I blame this on Willie for posting the discount code :pervy:

Looks a lot like an Orion, just a bit more battery & juice capacity.
TBH I would trust Lost Vape more than Wismec

Try as I might, I couldnt find anything on FT that I actually wanted......
15% off or not.....

I spent some time looking last night & couldn't find any thing I wanted either :( I put an Orion Plus with some coils & an extra pod in my cart! It looked like a pretty good deal, but just couldn't pull the trigger :(

Early this morning I ran my Skyline completely dry, TP saved me, a bit of vapor was swirling around inside the glass tank after I took the last drag. It looked cool.
Later in the day I ran my Xeta completely dry, no problem getting all the juice from the tank even though the juice ports are pretty high. Again TP saved me.
