Just sent you a message with the details :).
I was vaping it for about 10 minutes or so on and off then sat it down. Picked it back up about 5 minutes later and when I hit the fire button that is what I saw.
Took the batteries out for about 2 hrs and then just put them back in and it was fine. Then a few minutes later it happened again.

No idea what is going on with it. When it is like that I can still lock it, unlock it and vape it. But I don't feel comfortable using it. Weird...
On another note, brooks from sup vapor in greenville took a tap bit and put it in the holes at the bottom where the silver flathead screw is that tightens to the battery. Apparently those threads are coated....not now though :). Also it seems the fire button cannot be adjusted. Needs to be all the way screwed up. The screw is only for taking apart. Been working fine since this. Nathan (inswva) is going to send me a copper plate to upgrade it and that should also help. The one on it is very thin so hoping a thicker connector plate will also help it hit better. Hope you are feeling better by the way :)

Finally got all the bits to hybrid a 510 atty onto the IN'AX Nano tube (Nemesis hybrid adapter and Nemesis kick/beauty ring) . It works very well. It's kind of redundant since I also have the LPG but this package is marginally smaller than the Hobo/LPG combo. I'm going to put a SS Derringer drip tip on it to further reduce the height.

They used to say chicken soup for a cold, but now they say eating beef helps. Extra protein and iron?

Nothing helps my sinus pain or migraines better than ibuprofen. However, my mom swears on Tylenol or Excedrin, which does nothing for me. However, I do have to take 3 or 4, which is the prescription dosage.

That looks really good with the Hobo, need to get mine build. I need as many drippers as possible up and running so I can taste all my new juices :p

Vapor flask arrived thanks to a certain someone. Also gave me enough nickel wire to do a twisted build with temperature protection. Had one instance where it kept getting to the temperature threshold and would only fire at 2 watts. Removing the atty and replacing it fixed it.

Not sure what happened but whatevs. It's working.

Thanks a million!!!

Just a bit a learning curve with the KX 40D chip .. I actually made it fire my Nickel build in Kanthal mode because I was switching atties and when it asked "new up same down" I hit the wrong button. So it was firing the .14 nickel build at 1.94v .. interesting.

I am using it with Nickel right now with the TP feature turned off, just to see how it vaped. I left the wattage setting the same, and the vape seems the same I just don't have the TP cutting in when it reached the 450F limit. So far I am having fun playing with it though .. I like the fire button a lot more than the SXK Flask fire button.

Well got my replacement base for the Erlkonigin today. I can say I'm impressed. Instead of giving the crap original one, they sent me the A-Mod base that looks very nice. ;)

Doris must've cracked that whip on Eleven :laugh:

I'm so glad :). I love the flavor of the Erlk. It brings out flavors in your juice you didn't know were there.

Only gripe I could give is the finish. Reminds me of the hana clones with that sparkly grainy finish. Not as nice as the legit or the infinite flask.

Love this chip. Not sure if the real dna 40 scrolls this nice but it is a dream when switching wattage for different attys

Yes, the finish on the SXK/Infinite Flask is a lot nicer .. overall the SXK has the better build quality, but the Kangxin definitely has the chip and fire button advantage. Also the Kangxin battery caps have a larger thread pitch which is ideal IMO. The SXK has a .5mm thread pitch and the Kangxin is .75 or 1mm.

So, clones are bad, right? They take money out of the pockets of the creators of authentic products, right? Well, thanks to clones I've purchased from FC, a few authentic creators sold some product yesterday.

I purchased the following authentics yesterday after owning their cloned counterparts, all from FC.

Squape Reloaded
copper SMPL mod
Aqua V2
Hobo v2.1
Mephisto V2

Had I not first owned the clones, I would have never dropped the coin on the OGs.

I also bought a REO, a 3D printed ohm meter from usaohmeters, eight more 18650s, another 4 bay charger, and some Five Pawns. Kind of an expensive weekend, lol.

This is true .. I would not have bought the authentic Footoon Aqua V2 if I didn't try the clone first. I have been wanting to try a Polidiac clone for the longest time because I totally admire the authentic, but currently the clones are either far from 1:1, or have had issues with voltage drop and poor button assemblies so I never went for one of the clones. I consider it my responsibility avoid crap at all costs, and while the Polidiac V2 looks mint, I have heard that they all require modding to perform well ... Nope, I am not modding anything.

But ... Guess who ordered an authentic Poldiac MiriamWTH classic from MMV at 5am? :banana: Finally, finally I am getting my Poldiac, even though I didn't get to try a good clone first. Would it be totally selfish of me to ask Doris to get a couple of clones so that I can compare them?

I have this thing were I want to do comparisons of the authentic vs clone .. I wanted to do it with the FT OEM Aqua V2 but I don't trust that it would even be the same as what they originally listed. And now that I have the authentic Five Pawns KFL, I was thinking of getting the clone of that as well but I fear it may be a boring review because well ... its a still essentially a KFL, albeit a new drip tip and top cap.

I'm actually getting to dislike my Aqua V2, but not because it is bad, but the opposite, it has been the best tank I have used, so now not wanting to try anything new, as don't see it being even as good as the Aqua, so why waste the money.

I would absolutely love it if someone could come up with some after market accessories for it to change up the look. Then I could justify having two more :D Which I was surely do. Someone was selling a lightly used authentic in the classies that was hard not to want.

Bubba did your lenola cream ship?

lol... I just bought an OG GP Paps. I'm done! No more for a long while, I swear!

I plan on hybriding the OG Aqua V2 on to the Paps. Should be pretty sweet.

On Thursday evening I only had one package being tracked on my.usps.com... now I have like 12. smh

There was a Paps lux in the classies a few weeks back that I would have pulled the trigger on, but I was too late. By the time I saw it, it was paid and gone. I am picky about the Paps, I have seen a few up for sale but I would only get a lux.
