Cheers to that! :toast: ... Think you can mod the Lotus in some way to keep it from moving around so easily? The Lotus and Maraxus make quite the pairing ... very medieval :laugh:

That is so sweet that you gave the pink replacement glass to your fiance. :)

I intend to try to mod the Lotus but I'm not sure how just yet. Somehow either the base or the inside of the lid need to get larger. I'm debating on something like a bit of epoxy.

In other news, I cleaned up all my new gear and built my Fogger finally. It seems to be vaping quite well so far (first few puffs) at .7 ohms. Looks like I got a good one! So far it's as nice as the Aqua, vaping better, even, because I managed a higher ohm build on it.

The real fun now will be the Kraken. I'm not entirely sure I even want to try that tonight since I know the genny types can be hard.

Gennies are not so much hard, as there is a little bit more to building them properly. I don't have any problems with building Gennies, and I do oxidize my mesh quite a bit. I don't belong the "pulse method" school of thought, but many use this method for building.

Torching/oxidizing my mesh prior to rolling, and then again after I roll it, I have always been able to avoid having to work out hot spots after I install the build. Its usually good to go on the first test fire.

You just need to find the build method that will work best for you ... so maybe put this one off for when you have the time to really sit down and focus on it. Gennies are not the type that you can just slap a build on, and go.

I really like the way the Pisces looks with the Omega, and even though I am not a fan of black devices really, the Kayfun and Blackhawk are looking slicker than a ninja! ;-)

That's an Nzonic clone from Eciggity. Silver plated contacts, floating pin, magnetic switch and it's really nice. I'm loving the black Kayfun on it. Just got a black plastic tank today that went right on it and it looks great. Nice and dark but I can still see my liquid level through it if I look close.

I do like the Pisces and Omega combo. Very clean and incredibly tiny. Put a .8 ohm dual coil in there and it's vaping great. The Kraken is a bit weird with the ss mesh but I've never used the stuff before. It's so weird to use metal as a wick.

My Fogger, sadly, has a wicking problem. Keep getting dry, burnt hits. I think it needs rebuilt or at least re-wicked.

Whoospie, I mean Nzonic :p ... So how was it coiling your Omega because I heard it can be a PITA! The Fogger prolly just needs a hair less cotton, which I assume you are using. If the V4 is anything like the V3/2, its a really delicate balance with right amount of wick, so hopefully you get that worked out.

The Omega wasn't too bad. I used the tops of the screw like you would a Kayfun or Aqua instead of trying to use the mounting holes and then just gently bent the coils into place when I got them wicked.

Way to improvise, and why the hell not if it works. :thumb: ... I wonder how the Group Buy votes are coming along, and when FC will announce which item it will be? I guess we'll find out soon.

That is probably it .. Don't you guys have your packages hit in Chicago when they arrive to the US? Mine hit NY ... thank you Baby Jesus :laugh: One of the reasons that I love Epackets :p .. When I used to use Hong Kong Post, they hit LA first.

When I have packages that hit LA I somehow managed to receive it in Philly the very next day.
When they hit Chicago they may sit there 3 or 4 days. :?:

Looks like the TaiFun is ahead by 10 laps. I can wait it out and get a deal if it goes through.

Do you mean the Group Buy vote? .. How come I can't see the voting page? It's frustrating me :p ... A little surprised to see the Taifun GT craze still going so strong, but its like the Kayfun in that everyone should have one ... or two :p

Yeah ... based on feedback it sounds as though Chicago is the "bermuda triangle" of USPS. :laugh:
