I can see an order in the future for a Kiss qe tank and two 510 conversion kits.

I gotta (DO) love the original as anybody who saw my pics earlier would understand.
I'll stick to the original LORD version.....
now if only i didnt have to completely destroy the switch to make it work again(dont ask... long story)
I kind of mauled the brass nut on the switch when I first disassembled it, but it did finally come loose. It cleaned up some with a dremel, though I didn't give it much effort (it's inside after all).
Hope yours isn't locked up any tighter than mine was.
Sent from some ethereal device.
Basically, let someone borrow it.... they took it upon themselves to "clean" it for me as a sign of gratitude...
The person stripped the threads between button and firing pin.
I drilled & tapped it, went with a larger brass bolt, and it works again.... but i dont like leaving things like that.
What?? Let someone borrow it??? Really??? Can I like borrow your lady for awhile?
Promise to clean her up after
On a side note, the Greeks finally shipped Estia, scheduled to arrive Thursday. They may be slower than the Austies off the starting block, but looks like they have a killer sprint kick, and are fast on the ocean stretch. Or something like that.
Time to twist up some coils I guess. Russie is keeping Dragon 170 company till Estia arrives, hmm, thinking we are going to have a beech fight over mod pairings, oh well, hopefully Max will get back soon and referee and restore peace. or something like that.

Well it's a good news, bad news, good news, bad news, kind of day. But generally good.
The god news, the Estia 510 showed up, driver called and woke me up and said Dicester, I got your rba a, yeah, so got it. All looking good, nice build, excellent quality, looking good. Yep, fatty tank is there too.
Then the Bad news hits, crap, no 510 cap!!! It's the 510 estia all right, just no cap so I can screw it into a 510 top. Frak me. Well the threads looke similar so I screwed it on the El Siigilo and it fits, good new's. woo whoo.
Then the bad new's, well fist and all, but my switch housing is showing mas threads bummer, and no time to build before work, seriously bad new
But ends in good news, got home slapped in the coils, vertical mounted, of course, wicked, juiced and vaping quite nice. Further bad news, crap, no 510 cap so can't use my atomizer ohm meter, so not real sure the ohms of the build but it's low, was targeting 0.2 ohms and think I'm within 0.04 ohms of me target. well pretty sure, She's vaping like a 0.18 ohm build. Heck close enough. 
Used 26 gauge Kanthal, 7 wrapps 1.7 mm mandrel, vertical mounted, ramie fiber wick. Have it on max air, nice airy draw, purrfect for how low she is. Yeah am floating on the pearly clouds in Vape Minerva Heaven. Doing the vape and chat with the All Mighty Hiigher Vaper, and she is pleased, very pleased hmm, wonder if the Aqua 510 cap will fit, hmm, hang on, I'll check....... Ohh, so close, right diameter, but the threads are a hair off, can get it threaded a turn or so, but just not the same. OH well, actually looks nice Hybrid on the Torched Dragon, except for those damn switch threads showing.
Sent a message to them about no 510 cap, hopefully they will take care of it, cause didn't see a part number for just the cap.
So not all bad, what did show up is vaping great. Probably one of the easiest vertical builds I've done, tedious, but easy to do, one coil at a time. Do have a tad to much wick down the channels, but can unscrew the chimney for super juice saturation. Oh well, put the small tank on, so should be dry pretty soon and can play with it. Put some English Blackberry Tobacco Juice in, and ohh so yummy.!!
So thanks to suspectK for bring estia to my attention, sedge for his helpful pic, and Q who, frak, stop showing of killer gear, this has gto stop.!!!!
All's well that vapes well,
Vape long andaquireProsper.!!!

Vape long and
Thanks Quax, hate to say it, but Estia trumps Erli, big time, seriously. damn, out of juice. Frak, damn that was a quick tank, time to put the fatty on and remove a few strands from each channel, all six of them crap, 6 wick channels. Must say, love the raised intake jets, makes Estia damn near flood proof, heck can totally unscrew the chimney for a second and she don't flood, one thing about those Greeks, they really can hold their juice, no weak bladders on these ladies.
, no weak bladders on these ladies.
The Estia to me is at the top of the list.
All other bottom coil/vacuum feed tanks, have a muted taste. This is the only setup that i have found to tickle my taste buds.....

A moister more flavorful vape, one will be hard pressed to find.. Yeah, the Estia Rocks on so many levels. Truly an artistic engineering master piece. Should win the Nobel Vape Prize.!!! Oh, and I sooo Love Juice Control. Glad I picked up a couple more Ebony Premium Wood Drip Tip by Jina Mods.
Although, must say, the Big Dripper by Sub Ohm Innovations, does a pretty damn fine job too. Cept one has to push on the d.tip every now and then to keep the juice supply going. But then it's a dripper, but does vap on a par with the Estia, Though filling takes some getting used to on the Big D.
Hmm, think that's a compliment on both hmm, but both camps could take it as a put down too, I guess. All I Know is that both are juice guzzlers, never seen 5 ml's disapper so fast, well 10 mls total. Crap, did 20 mls today, and wasn't even my day off. That's like two dollars worth of juice.

Finally got time to take some pics of Estia riding the Torched Dragon
Threads are showing, but hey, it's the Estia 510 hybrid mounted Just happy I could vape her, although Kostas is sending the 510 base cap today, that didn't make the initial shipment.
and a side by side with the Big D. for comparison.

Yeah does look big compared to the Estia, but then she is mounted Hybrid. Big D is basically the same size as the Erlkonigin, so tis not that big, but damn, got to fill it up again. Think Estia needs another fill up too.
Had to laugh when I fist built Estia, after pulsing the coils, wicking and filling, was vaping great, but the batt was down to 3.5 volts, threw in a fresh batt and it blew my socks off, whoa Now that's a Damn fine Vape.
Really love having juice control, really makes for a moist vape, and no matter how open I take it, never have experienced any flooding, just more moist/syrupy flavored vape, smooth, never a gurgle be had. Estia has set the New Gold Standard in me Vape Book.

You know when you click the button twice, but you have to press it again to confirm? Lol
Well, my kiss switch screw is mia in the mail. He's sending me another..can't wait to have a mech as a possible daily carry.. the ipv is going for repairs, maybe my touch sensor is working fine now.. maybe just needed to be turned off for a week. Edit-Yay china!
Edit- I sent an email saying, "as soon as you hand it over to the post office, it will show up."..quantum mechanics ri-cha'ir.

Yeah, hmm, think it needs filling, or batt is way down, crap, 2.7 volts, crap, hate pulling them down that low, tis a problem with low sub ohms, even when down to 3 volts still getting a damn fine 45 watt vape, juice low on both ends.
Hopeful will get notice on the raptor shipping soon, was one of the first on the preorder, and the vendor received notification of 90 units being shipped. Yeah, hope he uses DHL or UPS and not china post.

Good.. the fact only 333 had been sold before mine arrived kinda threw me for a loop, (I'm weird about numbers, so I was like "damnit" when I saw number 334), but it is expensive, and Gus isn't on billboards over here (working on it though).
I'm with you on that. Gus sells more in EU (France and Germany to be precise) than anywhere else.
Couldn't resist... ordered. Dice sold me
And I am so sure you'll love it, that if you don't I'll trade ya me Erli for the Estia.
