Can't beat health cabin's prices if you don't mind the slow boat from China

Have you checked out highdesertecigs.com ?
I haven't ordered very much from them but I did just get some nic there and its the cleanest nic I have ordered from anywhere so far. They carry flavors from TPA and Flavorwest as well.

I have a question for the group.

I have been using smok Tech DCC's for several months and just love them. I have always filled them by removing the rubber stopper and dripping down the sides into the filler. Works great, and I never had one burn out or burn the filler.

A friend at work bought another brand (smok), and has been filling them as I have. She has had several Pop (burn out) and has visible burning to the filler on others.

Now here is where it get interesting. Going to the site that sells them there is a graphic showing that they should be filled through the bottom, threaded end.

I know with a bottom feeder the joose goes up through the bottom. But does it matter with a non feeder? Is one method more correct or better than the other?

Maybe I have been doing this wrong all along - but it has been working great for me.

Any thoughts?

 

[erich]

nah, not really. A long as the filler gets saturated it doesn't make a lot of difference.

 

[ime5000]

isnt smok and smok tech the same company? should be fine either way, i never filled any from the bottom

 

[erich]

He is charging over $200 for them, but from what I can see they are made to last a lifetime and beyond and rebuilding the atty seems very easy.

Ok, well not particularly well known for my restraint, I'm about to find out.

I picked up a rare beast, the Hybrid Mini, on the classifieds. It's along the same ilk as the Zenesis, but has the thumb button instead of the bottom one. Once I get a little proficient with the rebuildable wick, I'm curious if one could mod a bulli A2 (non 'T' version) to work on a Hog. I read one post where a guy was going to drill the feed hole through it... I'll have to see if I can find that and what the results were...

After that, though, I should pretty much be set. Rebuildable atty for my hog and an all-in-one rebuildable tank tube mod. Of course, back to that restraint issue, I already had a provari and a scubagen tank en route when the listing for the hybrid mini came up. Dunno wth I'm going to do with those now. On the plus side, it's the new limited edition blue LED, so I don't think I'd have much trouble flipping it solely on being able to beat the lead time.

If those VV general sale Hogs come up this month I'll be in a quandry. Logic will say that VV isn't all that important when you can wrap your own coils, but... let's be honest here. Of Course I'm gonna want one!

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

erich, I'm quite sure at this point that you and I are related.

Let me know how your new baby works out for you and thank you so much for buying it so I didn't get the chance.

 

[erich]

Is there, by any chance, a large stash of family money somewhere? If so, then sure, we're related.

You're funny one!

I meant to post this last night, but we had a sudden outbreak of work at my job and I never got around to it

Hey everyone..I'm trying to budget and alot monies..with Xmas shopping Does anyone have a
heads up of when Mike might have the VV orders done? I might have missed his post with a timeline..
just trying to figure in the time money is due vs money going out..

 

[washvap]

Haven't seen any info regarding an exact date but it should be soon. Since I've read that he's working on them right now.

 

[Hogwart]

Should be soon guys. I have most boxes done and the rest getting finishes this weekend.
Got 12 I think ready to wire up and will try to get most every thing done this weekend.

 

[Hogwart]

Forgot I shot this of the last one to highlight the Arm-R-Seal finish.



Keep in mind that certain woods will not take this finish. Mainly woods of the rosewood family (rosewoods, cocobolo, bocote, etc.) Same goes for any high wax woods such as Vera wood.
These woods will have more of a matte finish or finished with Teak Oil.

Interiors are now finished with a carnuba/beeswax/mineral oil.
Non-toxic and food safe. Should have no odor unless you have a very sensitive nose.

Nice but Not Mine..

Was that really #58 or #68? The list shows both as Bubinga/Curly Maple, but #58 is not listed as VV while the video looks remarkably like a variable voltage Hog.

 

[Hogwart]

Nice but Not Mine..

Yours should be wired up this weekend. Finish is done.

And vid is #68, I titled it wrong

I was not trying to ruffle feathers..I own #58..

 

[Hogwart]

That #68 might be up in the general sales as well. It was an off site purchase that I don't think is going through. Same with #67

Now I'm going to have to start reloading pages before I save a post to see what's been added since I started typing...
