OMG, I had to keep snatching my 26650 Stingray out of the 4 year old hands all weekend "buth I wann thouch thit" is what I listened to on repeat for 2 1/2 days :laugh:

Lol. Dang. We go through similar situations. But can't get more mods yet. Going to Vegas. Maybe I can stop at some shops there and see what clones I can get for cheap. Lol. Anyone travel with vape gear? Is it ok to keep a mod on you with juices at that elevation?

    Looks great Nailz :D I'm so very happy you like your new stand :) And thanks again for the Brass Cartel set ;)

    I knew you had a few black mods but WOW, you make me want to expand the black line of my collection now !

    Yep I like mine black :laugh:

    I have 14 mods, 1 is stanless, 1 is copper, 1 is wood, 1 is blue and the other 10 are black :D

    Oh Vegas, nice :2cool: Not sure, I flew last summer from Canada to NY, but I kept only my KR808D cig a like on my person, and put the rest in checked luggage. Maybe you should take a dripper on the flight, and check the rest?

    I flew to England earlier this year, I took my telsa with kayfuns, but had the itaste vv3 with protank style clearomizer for at the airport, I had no problems transporting my stuff, but I kept it all in my hand luggage and took out my telsa, batteries and juice going through the scanner. My kayfuns was built but had no juice in them, and just filled them once got to the UK.

    May want to check with TSA and see what your allowed to take, it would suck to have them take your juice away from you. Just a thought, if you know where you'll be staying, maybe you could mail stuff to yourself there and have it waiting when you get there??

    They pretty much know all about the e-cig stuff at the airports now a days, they never blinked a eye at my stuff and didn't ask about any of it, I played it safe and only took 30mil bottles with me, and you want to put them in a sandwich bag for transporting.

    Actually it is ... Was surprising because I knew that FC had them in China, but Doris never mentioned that she was sending them to the US warehouse also. Being that its listed with sold out status, I believe that they are in transit to Georgia, and the inventory will be updated once they arrive.

    I mean every word that I wrote in my review, this is the dripper that I have been waiting for! It looks mint with the Stingray X, and the best part is that when I received it, I didn't know I was getting it because it was chosen for review by the vendor. But it was a pleasant surprise indeed, and I am using it right now :banana:

    I can't say that it will be the bees knees for everyone, but all I wanted was a good 22mm dripper that I could drip directly into without removing top caps, and now I got it. Yay! Thank for your continued feedback on my reviews, I appreciate it always. :)

    I think I may have to get one of these as I have kind of moved to drippers and away from my Kayfun Lites that have been my main atomizers for the last nine months or so. I tried an Igo L and then a 3D and didn't really enjoy either of them. Then I modified a Kayfun Lite to use as a dripper and it worked pretty good. I then got a Magma clone, a Veritas clone and an authentic 454 Big Block. These last three have sold me on drippers and I want more to play with. I had kept my builds no lower than .6 ohms until this pass weekend and I got brave and built two of them down to .3 ohms and I have to say it increased the flavor a bunch. But, these low builds sure do eat up the juice fast.
    I still use a couple of my Kayfun Lites daily, mainly when out of the house and dripping is not convenient.

    Yea just got done reading all the rules. I'm good to go. Will just bring my necessary items to rebuild in my checked baggage. The rest will be on me. Just my SS SR and Taifun or Paps. Also juice in a clear bag. Like the rest of liquid.

    I couldn't find a blue Panzer at focalecig, had to look over at FastTech. Doesn't quite seem to be the same shade. Perhaps a really shiny gold colored mod. The blue Panzer had pics in a discussion over there with a gold (not brass or copper) RDA that looked nice, figured it'd look good the other way around. Of course it'd still be a big klunky Panzer if I decided to get it. I'd much prefer the Fire of Life focalecig is offering. I like the stainless onee, either the bright polished or black PVD.

    FWIW, I think that blue TF would look awesome on SS or brass. The blue would pop more than if you went all matchy-matchy. :)

    Alrighty hun, I will speak to her about it when she comes on skype tonight. In fact I will skype her now, that way I won't forget about it later ... my brain is still a little oatmeal-ish after this weekend :laugh:

    Oh and you're ok with Ghetto stuff, good to know :lol: Weezy should have his Platinum card already, being that he's the vape gear King Pin :banana:

    Thank you, my Queen. Um, they're probably all clearcoated (copper/brass), but can you ask her to make sure?

    I haven't gone lower than .7 on a dripper yet, and that was on the Stillaire. I would actually like to get a .8 build going on the Mephisto though. That is some major sub ohmage you had going there Porter :blink:

    This Mephisto has actually restored my faith in a drippers ability to not annoy the crap out of me :p So from now on, its a wide bore drip tip hole in the top cap, or nothing! ... I still have love for Kayfun's so maybe a Rose gold or that uber sexy blue Ehpro V2 :drool:

    I think the blue would look good with gold too, so long as there were some gold accents on the drip tip or something to keep it tied together ... I think the Gold Taifun is nice looking as well.

    Nikki,

    You gotta at least try one time a build in the .25-.30. I see you use MtBaker as well. Get a 3mg max VG in Robs juice. :) I'm used to the low builds now and it satisfies my pulls. Even just now I finish a .54 quad parallel coil in the TOBH and that thing was impressive.

    But eh it's what you like. I like all sorts of ranges. It was just fun to try. My 30ml bottle is almost gone though. That was quick. Lol.

    Nikkita6, don't know if you caught the Killer Juice sale last week. This week isn't as cheap but there's no limit on flavors. They just sold they're 50,000 bottle of juice, so everything will be 50% off. I'll post a reminder once the sale is live.

    I've decided that I'll just get the blue Taifun and see how it looks on my brass 4nine. If its stubborn I'll pull out the brass Nemesis. Right now the tubes are stored in favor of black anodized aluminum with the brass top cap and switch. But for the blue Taifun I think brass over black. I know that the red and purple tubes aren't a good choice. Hmmm, I could always get blue Nemesis tubes.

    Oh stop being so self deprecating you silly cat! I don't have stupid friends ;-) Your brain cells are just fine. :)
    Thank you, and yes I think my surviving brain cells are fine, there just aren't that many of them left ;) There was a little over a decade of brain cell abuse back around the 80's ...

    Been playing with the XC-116, has potential. The first vape is as good as cotton, but it can't keep up. Maybe my coil is too tight, or the bend too sharp. Will play around some more.

    Just realized I have a 23mm mod and another one coming and no 23mm toppers. Maybe I'll have to order one of those new cheap Taifuns to have at least one thing that matches. Do you think 20112 would be a waste of time, or might it actually work?

    The brass is gonna look hot with that, bsoplinger. I don't think it would look as good with the blue Nemi, but I like shiny.
