To who ever it was selling the vs rdna. What's the piece and I wonder if shipping to the USA would make it not worth while. ?

I was thinking of putting it on classifieds for £40 or £45 with a silicon sleeve and inc. postage within the UK.

In context, a quick search of royal mail and also courier services puts smallish parcels at £15-20 to the US which seems a lot to me, but I might be doing something wrong and/or looking in the wrong places. The price might need some adjustment if it does cost this much and there isn't a cheaper way so it depends on how interested you are haha..

That's probably going to hurt some pipe smokers the most.
Last time i was in a true baccy shop they had allsorts of pipe tobacco mixes.Some with Cherry,peach,apple etc.
There was an old boy in there puffing away on a pipe with the peach,must admit it smelt good Mind you i did smoke then,probably smell awful now.

My Grandfather always smoked a pipe (possibly Old Holborn or Whisky Flake), and I liked the smell then - also, the bean counter where I used to work had a cherry vanilla pipe tobacco, and it had a wonderful smell

We don't worry bout that in 'Merca. ESPECIALLY in Arizona.
Pretty bold for broad daylight. Need a block watch set up

Crime had been pretty low here in recent years, and mostly it was bored youngsters with anti-social behaviour.
We did have a far more visible police presence before now though, and also the community police, but they don't seem to be around so much now.
The town police still work shifts, but traffic etc., don't work past midnight with officers being on call until 7am.

I don't think it applies to Pipe tobacco only cigarettes & rolling tobacco

I had heard about weakness with the Fat daddy 510's,i have two dual batt SX chipped mods,that both use the FD 510,i'll have to be extra careful with them.I see Ginger vaper are due to release covers for the Boxer,think i'll try to get one of those,just for a little added protection.Don't think the battery door is super strong and if the mod is dropped,probably the first thing to go.

Yah. Maybe. The mod should be fine if dropped honestly as its pressure fit or magnetic in would doubt highly the fabstic would crack honestly. There's no real pressure anywhere it's so light. The door would pop off and batteries may fall
Out. Ive dumped my boxer on to tile from above waist high and it didn't even Mark it.

I couldn't get the first fat daddy off. It bound. I had to get it half way. Rock it up and down and then peel off pieces of it until I could Push it through. The new center pin is is but the heat shrink stuck to the lower part of the wire. Oops! I'll probably cut the other half and spiral wrap it then heat. Downside is I had to mar the top of the boxer fixing it. I don't blame boxer. It's a bad 510- I just hope they stop using them. If I buy another ill be asking them to use a different make. I'd probably build it again anyway. It's really easy.

I really like the new 26650 one but a m class for under $100 with warranty and 2 months old is hard to say no to - I can't justify spending more for the v2 really. As afar as I know the v2 difference is it uses the software which is supposed to be mediocre at best. Oh and it has default profiles so i can vape diamond wrapped platinum.

Do you happen to know If the paint issues with the m class were fixed? I have a j wrap but Ice seen what happened when they were taken off so I am hesitant to use it - however some stated hat was a general Paint issue not specific to using a wrap And that its remedied. Any idea? Maybe others here have an m class or followed that conversation?

The downside of the m class is that it's so heavy.

As for the boxer. I don't mind if it's banged up. I like it so much I'll Never sell it and it doesn't go out of the house with me (not exactly a pocket friendly mod). I'd build another one and probably do a bit better but not until my neck is fully right and hands work.

In the end I wouldn't bother with the silicon. It will probably be pretty annoying to get off and on for battery changes and honestly I think that mod is the least likely to beak of any you own. There's a spring to it so it would dissipate well. Like I said I dropped mine into tile without a Mark.

Changing 510 is typically one solder point. Two if you have to do the grounding ring. The most difficult part is getting it to tighten down properly. The key there is a junky atomizer and needle Jose pliers. Hold with the latter and spin the former.

I'm looking to maybe get this as a replacement. Trouble is the wire from the chip is getting relatively short now. I have maybe enough for one more swap before I have to redo the chip solder. I don't want to do that.

So have flavors of tobacco been banned there? Sorry I must have missed it

Edit

Just brushed up. Wow. Strict laws. What's the idea I read about no branding? Just that it can only have a name not a logo and such? Presumably to prevent advertising e lefts from brainwashing youth who glance at it one time from ten feet away?

I'm all for not smoking and for making cigarettes go back to tobacco and paper. But honestly. Cmon

I'm Interested. But I've run into this before. That's probably not even the price insuring the packaging. Last time I tried to send something there was a value of $115 or so and he shipping - lowest possible - was $35 -45 insured.

Of course you could
Mail it to my nephew and I could have him post it when he's in Seattle.

It was a problem that Yihi were supposed to have fixed.
But i noticed on mine the other day,it is marking.I'm super careful with my mods and couldn't tell you where and how it has happened.The paint used doesn't seem to adhere to the metal very well.

Exactly, the TobaccoProducDirective is a load of codswallop dreamt up by people with nothing better to do, the most annoying thing though is that they have included e-cigarettes (probably because of the name) even though they have nothing to do with Tobacco, the flavour ban is only for cigarettes & rolling tobacco if I remember rightly, I haven't looked at the wording for quite a while

 

[Bobw1951]

FastTech are getting better iSub S & a couple of packs of Joyetech coils ordered yesterday 14:23 shipped today 09:50 - with a bit of luck might have them by the end of next week

Hmm. So I have a couple choice. Place the wrap
On there and hope when it takes the damage and it doesn't peel the paint off. Use it without a wrap if the paint gets damaged out a wrap on. Probably the latter is smarter.

They may have improved It - just not enough

Yah that's absolutely awful. I have a great fear that anything but cigalikes are going away for a while until big tobacco buy all the relevant big players out. Pay their fees and market this stuff again.

I decided to try vaping no flavor added eliquid and you know it has its place. It's sort of like a very mild cigarette. I'll be keeping s 18mg 60/40 in the emow

Bob and brynglas I think I'm going to start dripping at home. I'm home all the time and it's getting ridiculous to have this pile of expensive tanks I have to constantly rebuild. What I want are either inexpensive drippers good clones. The squonk is perfect for my adv assuming it vapes well. If it doesn't I'll change the amatoniswr to one recommended in another thread.

A dripper would need to have an extremely small chamber - single coil would be ideal. A decent juice well would be good so sort of small and deep. Can you think of anything like that? Authentic is fine up to around $40.

I have the magma clone and it's working with this build way better than I remember. However i stillI plan on reducing my authentic boutique mods - I don't want to damage them when they're out. And I don't want to have seven that force me constantly maintain

One proper dripper along with one squonk and my wae / gem combo or similar Could replace the vast majority of what I use on a daily basis. I change flavors and nicotine strengths a lot right now so I have tanks with the same flavor at three levels. And three or four flavors going along.

I really appreciate your help. I foolishly gave up on dripping before ever gave it a real chance.

So do you two think there are properly good flavor rda out there? Is there one meant for mouth to lung (unlikely thought with temp build and a small
Size most should work)

Final note. I find the magma slightly annoying to "fill" but I just realized , like an eejut, I shouldn't unscrew it but pop off the drip tip instead. Duh.

Think you may find that 99% of decent drippers out there are meant for dual coil or more and cloud chasing, single coil are usually small like the chalice, one you could look at is the Lancia, it has a system of blocking off 3 of the 4 air holes so can be single coil built, only problem is that if you drip over the blocked holes it can leak.
