I shattered the tank to my steam turbine today at work :( I had juice, a mod but nothing to put vapes into my lungs with... so my coworker sold me this chinese atty before I had a nic fit, its the first cheapy one i ever had but its actually not totally terribly awful, I had no idea. Its even got a reduced cap (cap is totally a foggy ripoff though which kinda sucks) the atty deck and post are a total mess/badly designed though, and I had to take my coworkers advice and pull a questionable thing out to fit a U wick in bc the wick holes are so small, but it looks pretty ok on my polished paps... not bad for $30 I can definitely beat the crap out of it.

no, and she wont bc i have a spare tank at home haha :p (what i really need is an SS one though like the minib and minimicro comes with)

you would think i would stop doing that wouldnt ya? serioulsy though, this is like the 500th tank that I've shattered, half of them broken just taking the tank off of the atty with my kung fu grip :D I should really invest in bedazzled's biz bc i throw a lot of $ her way anyways. :laugh:

whats that clone called?

this one is called the AGT I beleive, the fact its 22mm and comes polished is pretty cool... it would actually be pretty nice if it just had a strait top cap with a flat top and not a foggy rip off, but then that topcap would be a bliss/dbug/hf ripoff, so what can you do, lol, they will continue to clone stuff bc people continue to buy it. this was my first cheapy vape device/china clone so I guess i just added to that but i feel a bit better as i got it second/hand lol.... I posted it the pic bc i was shocked that a china clone could look decent on a paps. it had to be modded pretty heavily to vape properly... well not properly but adequately, for now. thank jebus my coworker is a nut and brings a vape toolchest in his car, thats where we found this atty and the larger nuts (ha ha laugh it up) i was able to replace the stock atty post ones with, the wrench i used to pull that confounding second post out with, and the sandpaper i used to flatten the 510 contact surface, and the torch, mesh, and kanthal i needed to set it up as well.

Looks like crap:) Not gonna lie. I hate clones but, I do like the resourcefulness. I know Kiba hates it too and it beats the hell out of smoking. Killing him to use it.

this is true, the fact that the cap looks exactly like a foggy bugs me to no end every time i look at it, but im no longer having a nic fit and ive got something to get the vapes into my lungs for now.... once i get home ill put the polished Ti turbine back on the paps where it belongs :D

^ i remember when everyone was crazy for whistle tips, the superT ones. i never ever liked them, feel weird in my mouf. only thing is if your going to put brass in your mouth, make sure its from someone you trust and that its actually real brass or naval brass.

perseas how did i miss this.... i need that pnb adapter. lol I actually made a cheesy one a while back but its not totally strait or round so it doesnt work so well, i have my own way of brushing/polishing using a belt/grinding device, but i am all about refinishing stuff so i NEED this lol.

The lead in some brass can be very harmful if placed in mouth. 2 parts rubbing alcohol and 1 part hyd peroxide and soak. This will at least remove surface lead and you may enjoy better health.

Agree with kiba, the whistle tips just dont feel right or look right on cylinder shapes, no finesse.

Should be 2 parts white vinegar and 1 part hydrogen peroxide.

Here's a good article on the topic... Removing surface lead from brass.

This I know but finding it is getting tough. Especially if you are looking for screws for switches and connections.

does the whistle tip claim naval brass? Its how this thing got started.

I still have challange putting... ummmm.... well......Brass to mouth :)

This cracks me up. I just Kung Fu gripped my Mini B tank 2 nights ago and am using the steel but looking for more glass.
Like me, I know you also prefer glass.
