Hey y'all!!! On the ohm reader front, I just acquired one from Sunny vaping. They make their own chips in them and have been tested to be VERY efficient. They run about $30 shipped though, but come in a multitude of colors and such. Usaohmmeters.com

Thanks, love the clear one, I like that its made here, and hopefully a bit more rugged. I keep dropping the fastech one and it falls apart , but it still keeps working. I do wonder how accurate it is. I had a nice Klein Tools meter, but maybe it was me ( its always ME) but it was really sensitive and kept jumping all over the place with numbers....... Gave up on it, got the little cheapies atty / carto meters. I hear alligator clips help with the jumpiness.

Love that battery tester, I have a simple thing I got on Ebay, similar to those Doohickys an ECF was making and selling. Its getting a bit worn, I think the wire leads are crimping inside the rubber skin

There is videos on the website showing how accurate it is. Comparable to the FLUKE meters which are reportedly the best. It is pretty solid. Not much more than your standard ones. And cool thing, when going below 1 ohm the screen will read "345" as in .345 ohms, and you can watch the last digit fluctuate a tad showing the current. And in my cheap one before, the 510 was too deep so some attys wouldn't read, this one is much better.

Thanks Woody, I will have to pick one up on my next vape budget purchases.

You're welcome! They sell fast FYI (see my post below)

Oh awesome! I stalked the site for a good month and was never able to catch the colors I wanted, so I finally was able to get a green with blue led even though I hate green!!

Since we are sharing "tools of the trade" I got a couple sets of these tiny micro brushes when I started rebuilding. They come in real handy when cleaning coils and to brush off any residue after dry burning your coils , cleaning threads on your MODs etc.

When I ordered the blue w/blue, it said 12 left. So, now there are 10.

Good timing! My question... Your answer... Very cool! :)

It's not a substitute for a multimeter but I have a bunch of pocket voltage indicators that I use at home and bring with me that I periodically use to check my battery level. I can usually tell when my battery goes below 3.7v but I like to get into the habit of checking anyway.

Good morning all! Hope you're doing well! I am especially excited this morning, as I just bought a "Mini Jenni" hand-made by Ohman. This is a 16mm Titanium Genisis-style atty that I got to run on my Piccolo (and in my microstick). I hear they peform very well, so i'm excited to get it! I will be sure to post a review when I receive it! :)

My GPin came apart yesterday while taking my battery out. I have no clue how to put it back together since I didn't get a chance to see how it was properly put together. I have contacted Blake at Domo as well.

Has this happened to any of you guys? If so, how did you fix it? Can it be put back together? Any help is appreciated!! Thanks

Well it depends; did the black disc unscrew? If so, then you'll want to use a GP Fork to screw it back in. If the actual pin itself unscrewed from the threaded portion, then you'll need the pin itself as well as the "pin retainer" (I don't know what that piece is called, but it's the piece that screws into the threaded portion).

I would advise watching Scott's review of the V3 Lux. In the review he completely dissassembles a Gpin and puts it back together...

Very well said! Thank you!

@MBP3: Check please Skott's video, it's really simple to disassemble/assemble the GPin.

I tired, but they always clicked, or misfired, or buzzed. Even with a freshly charged battery they would sputter like when the battery was at its lowest to handle the 10 volts I set it at. I even sent one back , thinking its was a bad Kick. When the replacement did the same, I figured the ELA did not like it. I know many ELa owners said they used a kick occasionally or all the time.

I figured I had a fiddly Kick or a fiddly ELA/s. They are an amazing device, but....
ANyway, I am extremely satisfied with the X's.

No ELA's are one of the most Kick2 friendly mods.......

I think my Ti X #046 may become available if someone is looking.
As nice as this thing is I'm having a hard time justifying it. I don't want to take it out of the house and $500+ is a little much to just be sitting there.
...and after being bitten hard by the camping bug I'm now looking into trying to purchase a pop-up or other small camper.
I figured I'd throw this out here first before listing in the Classies as to give family members first shot.
There are some scuffs on the bottom of the button from standing up but other than that it's pretty much new.
The threads have been broken in very nicely and it doesn't bind at all.
I would be looking for what I paid + PP fees and shipping.
