...what happened to it?

I was driving home from work and without changing any settings it hit super, super hot. Worst dry hit I've ever had and now nada. I'very taken the battery out, played with the 510, cleaned the 510 with alcohol, tried different attys and it just reads that there's no atomizer.

Lol, tell me you take it to work with you?

I have a full size Lemo on mine, it's much better than a Subtank for some reason. It's taller but skinnier, I thought it looked a bit better.

So I just switched them and put the Subtank I was using last night on my IPV onto my Cloupor. It actually doesn't look bad but right before my IPV gave out it hit super hot and basically choked me out, then died. The tank tastes like burnt juice now. I guess it's time to bust out a new build on the rba tonight. I hope the full tank of juice doesn't need to be dumped :(
...I take the cloupor GT With a taifun GT2 (hey, just noticed they both have GT).. temperature control build on it. No dry hits with it since. :) I am looking for a good single battery TC mod now for outings... and I like the Cloupor so much, I am thinking of getting the mini+ and selling my old mini.

I actually would like the idea of drilling out the sides and running a vertical coil setup like the original vertical occ coils but with screw leads for the kanthal. I liked rebuilding the vertical occ coils, but wished they had screw leads instead of using the insulator. this might be a good compromise.
That works also lol. The way I look at it is its cheap. So it needs some tinkering with, better than not having it at all lol. I may grab one and a nano for the wife at some point now.

ouch.. if you're giving it up for dead, I'd suggest taking it apart and see if a solder came loose. I've fixed one or two mods before because of loose soldering. If you're that adept, you might want to give it a try... nothing to lose.

I might... Although I DO like supporting local businesses... Hmmmm...
So do I, so I usually just buy things I can't wait for shipping times on. Since I'm not one of those super organized people I end up at the b&m quite often for empty bottles, coils, kanthal, etc. But if I'm buying something pricer like tanks or mods I go online, the price difference is too much for me to justify...but that's me ;)

Sure do, I think the giant tank on the teeny mod is kinda cool, plus no refilling mess at work! Just an extra battery!:D

Well I definitely need coils. Would definitely be interested in getting a new tank, too. When I go in I'll decide if the (hopefully small) price markup is worth paying to have it in my hands tomorrow rather than waiting the week to get it.

Just thought I'd post this...funny thing happened the other day when I stopped off at a vape shop. My mother in law went in for some juice, and I was just browsing. They had a %50 off bin of juice... I picked one up, and it was called something blue.... (forgot the name). As I was looking at it, I asked her what flavor it was, since the name was kind of vague.. she said she didn't know (she hasn't tried it) as I turned the knob to smell it.. she said "but they are unopenable"........click-click-pop... I broke the safety seal. Oh well.. I guess I had bought that juice... :) well, pulling out the wallet, I asked.. how much is it.... $20 she said.. my first thought was oh..geesh. I just bought a juice I know nothing about.. then she said "but it's %50 off".. a little better, but still.. as she was ringing me up, they have a rewards program... as they scanned the card... they had an offer... $8.99 off a purchase of a 30ml bottle.. so... the total was $1.01 + tax... I bought a $3 drip tip to make it seem like I wasn't so skimpy.

I actually am loving the drip tip.. I still haven't tried the juice. :)

Lol, I gave it to my husband, he's much more adept than I am. It might take him a month or two to get to it but I have faith :rolleyes:

A buck for something that started at $20 - might their prices be a tiny bit inflated.

Lol, due to previous experiences I am no longer allowed near the tool section of our garage...much like my husband/kids are not allowed to touch my cast iron in the kitchen. He gets his work space unmolested and I get mine...it works :D

Loll... no, more like a coupon off of a clearance item... :) the rewards program is not ran by that shop, so the shop probably got reimbursed for it. I work in retail, so I expect the prices to be naturally high compared to mail order. Where I work, if someone wants to buy something that we normally don't sell, we take the price WE pay for it, and mark it up %250. That's just how retail works.

Quick question, i recently tried kilo's cereal milk.. i do get a prominent lemony taste from it.. is that normal? Was expecting a milky cereal vape..

I DIY my own juice but I've tried a couple clone recipes of that juice and learned my lesson about an extra lemon-y extract that every recipe calls for in a high percentage. I make my version now with 1/3 of that lemon-y extract...it's way too much for me. If the clone recipes are close to the real thing than I would assume that it's supposed to be very lemon-y. I was disappointed too.

It costs me under 2 bucks to make 50ml of juice, they prob buy in larger quantities so it costs them less. So that oring 20 was a lot more than a 250% markup lol

Holy ouch...I know the bar business really well, been in it for years and 250% mark-up is insane.
